Chapter 508: The Soul-Burning Flower
Chapter 508: The Soul-Burning Flower
Ge Pu saw the ordinary-looking stall owner showing a keen interest, and he took out a strange spirit seed from his storage bag.
The spirit seed seemed like metal yet not quite, with a metallic luster on its surface and a unique spiritual energy field surrounding it. Even Lu Chen, standing at a distance, felt his waist vibrate slightly, affecting the flying sword at his side.
"Is this the Yuan Magnet Spirit Light capable of absorbing metallic treasures?" Lu Chen wondered silently.
Just as Lu Chen was about to trade the Sage Infant Pill with Ge Pu, a sinister voice reached his ears.
"Friend, I have here a unique fifth-grade spirit seed from the Extremely Yin Sect. Give me, Xuan Yin, some face, and trade it with me."
Lu Chen lifted his head and coldly snorted inwardly.
The speaker was none other than the skinny old man who had snatched the stone coffin earlier. However, due to Lu Chen's altered appearance and aura, the old man failed to recognize him. Once again, the old man was trying to force a one-sided trade, intending to take the Sage Infant Pill from Lu Chen.
"Apologies, but I have already agreed to trade with another friend," Lu Chen transmitted to the skinny old man, proceeding to exchange the Sage Infant Pill with Ge Pu for the Yuan Magnet Spirit Wood seed.
Ge Pu received the pitch-black pill and breathed a soft sigh of relief.
Although it had not been easy, obtaining this fifth-grade Sage Infant Pill had increased his chances of advancing to the Golden Core stage by a significant margin.
It was definitely worth the effort.
As the Sage Infant Pill changed hands, the surrounding cultivators couldn't help but feel disappointed, their gazes shifting to Ge Pu, who now possessed the pill.
Ge Pu did not hide his identity when entering the Treasure Pavilion, openly revealing himself as a true disciple of the Sky Sword Sect. Facing the unfriendly gazes of the crowd, he coldly snorted, his black and white dual pupils shimmering with spiritual light.
"Thank you, friend. I shall take my leave now," Ge Pu said, a black and white Taiji diagram appearing behind his head and spinning rapidly. His body merged into the diagram, and he vanished in an instant.
Seeing this, Lu Chen bowed to the crowd apologetically.
The numerous cultivators gathered around his stall gradually dispersed, and Lu Chen packed up his things. After a moment of hesitation, he chose a direction and swiftly made his way out.
"Friend, please wait," a voice called out after a while, stopping the female cultivator with blood-red cloth covering her eyes.
"Is there something else, friend?" The female cultivator's voice was cold and detached.
"I feel sorry that the Sage Infant Pill ended up in someone else's hands," Lu Chen said sincerely.
The pale-faced female cultivator nodded slightly, remaining silent.
"I came to find you because I wish to propose a trade with you," Lu Chen continued.
"Oh? Do you have another Sage Infant Pill?" The female cultivator asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice.
"No, I don't have another pill," Lu Chen shook his head.
"However, I noticed that your dual pupils possess an unusual phenomenon, indicating that you cultivate a type of eye technique. Coincidentally, I have a treasure that can enhance eyesight and improve eye techniques," he said, taking out two grayish-white sinister eye pupils from his storage bag. Below each pupil were numerous translucent tentacles that swayed gently in the air.
Lu Chen's interest was piqued by the unknown spirit seed in the female cultivator's possession, and although he didn't have another Sage Infant Pill, he decided to try his luck by offering something that would appeal to her, given her unique dual pupils.
"Eye pupils formed from the Hundred-Eyed Bizarre Wood? I didn't expect you to have such a treasure," the female cultivator said, a hint of surprise in her voice.
Lu Chen's guess was correct; she did cultivate a powerful eye technique, but her progress had stagnated in recent years, becoming painstakingly slow.
She had searched for related materials and pills to aid her cultivation but to no avail.
Having failed to obtain the Sage Infant Pill, she had been feeling disappointed, but now, a treasure that could enhance her eye technique had appeared before her, a pleasant surprise.
"What if I add a Xuan Yin Pill to the offer?"
Lu Chen took out a pill shrouded in yin energy, the fourth-grade Xuan Yin Pill, which was filled with pure and dense yin energy.
"Two Hundred-Eyed Bizarre Wood eye pupils, plus a fourth-grade Xuan Yin Pill, in exchange for the mysterious spirit seed in your possession. That should be fair, right?"
"That spirit seed is of unknown origin, and its grade, variety, and cultivation methods are all uncertain. If I were to cultivate it, I would be taking a considerable risk," the female cultivator replied.
"I am a lover of flora and fauna, and I am willing to take on that risk," Lu Chen said in a deep voice.
"Very well."
Without further hesitation, the female cultivator nodded in agreement.
The pitch-black spirit seed had been in her possession for many years, but due to her lack of information about it, she couldn't find a buyer who would offer a satisfactory price.
Lu Chen's offer of two Hundred-Eyed Bizarre Wood eye pupils and a fourth-grade Xuan Yin Pill showed his sincerity and was quite tempting.
The two of them found a secluded corner and proceeded with the trade.
Lu Chen received the spirit seed and could feel the powerful vitality emanating from it, filling him with joy.
"Based on its vitality, it should indeed be a fifth-grade spirit plant."
When the Hundred-Eyed Bizarre Wood matured, it bore numerous sinister eye pupils. Occasionally, Lu Chen would consume one to cultivate the Pomo Tongshu (Eye Art)
, or he would feed it to the Cloud-Treading Lynx to enhance its heterochromatic eyes.
To obtain the new spirit seed in exchange for two eye pupils and a pill was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Full of excitement, Lu Chen hurried back to the resting area. On top of the existing restrictions, he set up a few more to ensure privacy. After confirming that no spiritual senses were intruding, he took out the Wu Spirit Soil and prepared a small spiritual field.
Then, he carefully placed the newly acquired spirit seed into the spirit soil.
Focusing his mind on the spirit seed, detailed information about both spirit seeds appeared in his mind.
Yuan Magnet Spirit Wood, sixth-grade spirit plant. Requires growth in a special environment with Yuan Magnet Spirit Energy. After maturation, it possesses the ability to absorb all things and can be used to refine treasures imbued with Yuan Magnet Divine Light or to assist in cultivating the Yuan Magnet Divine Light divine ability.
Absorb all, take in all!
Soul-Burning Flower, fifth-grade spirit plant. Requires nourishment from pure souls during growth. The spirit plant automatically burns and refines nearby souls, absorbing the soul force within them. It exudes a strong attraction to yin objects and spiritual entities. During cultivation, if one stays close to the spirit plant for extended periods, their soul will be unknowingly scorched.
Once matured, it can be used to directly nurture yin objects and spiritual entities, refine special treasures for their survival, or create high-grade pills.
Burn, my soul!
"A sixth-grade Yuan Magnet Spirit Wood and a fifth-grade Soul-Burning Flower, both are extremely rare and precious high-grade spirit plants!"
These thoughts flashed through Lu Chen's mind, and he couldn't help but smile broadly.
He had spent countless years searching for and cultivating countless spirit seeds, yet he only possessed a sixth-grade Phoenix Wood obtained by chance from a blessed land. This highlighted the rarity and value of the new spirit seeds he had just acquired.
"I must find an opportunity to properly thank Brother Ge Pu!" Lu Chen thought gratefully, feeling indebted to Ge Pu for bringing him such precious spirit seeds.
