Chapter 694: Competing for Opportunities? I'll Buy Them!
"I didn't expect to gain such a pleasant surprise from a simple trip outside."
Lu Chen, with the Lei Huo token in hand, flew out of the starry vortex, feeling rather pleased with himself.
His initial intention for leaving his cave abode was to collect spiritual herbs suitable for crafting artifacts. Yet, he had unexpectedly come across the spirit seed of the Dyin-Yang Fruit.
From the information he received after planting the seed, Lu Chen learned that this sixth-grade spirit seed, once matured, would produce a miraculous effect, second only to a seventh-grade spiritual herb.
Being so rare, the light group it would eventually produce would surely be extraordinary.
With the Void Nightmare scouting ahead, Lu Chen smoothly returned to the outside of his cave dwelling.
As soon as he deactivated the array, the fat bird sensed the familiar aura on him. Its massive, pale green wings dragged its spherical body swiftly to his front.
Due to the powerful inertia, six little tree nymphs were flung off the fat bird's back, wobbling in the air before stabilizing themselves and flying to Lu Chen, chirping softly.
"Roar~"
A dull thunderclap sounded as the Thunder Dragon Lion, hidden beneath the fat bird's wings, seemed to remind Lu Chen of his previous search.
However, the silver-white horn protruding from the bird's feathers gave away its position clearly.
After soothing his menagerie of spirit beasts, Lu Chen hurried to his spiritual fields, eager to begin his work.
It took him a while to find a suitable field.
"There are more and more spiritual herbs in the cave, and it's almost full."
"I can't help but want to acquire the seeds when I see the ones I like."
Lu Chen sighed, taking out a piece of spiritual ore from his storage bag. It was covered in countless golden flecks.
This piece of third-grade spiritual ore contained a small amount of aethestime, perfect for cultivating the fourth-grade spiritual herb, Black-Stemmed Wood.
With ease, he crushed the hard spiritual ore with one hand and sprinkled it evenly over the spiritual soil in the field. Then, he took out the Black-Stemmed Wood branch.
With a slight exertion of his spiritual power, the structure of the spiritual soil underwent subtle changes, forming a long, narrow fissure. Lu Chen inserted the branch into the crack.
He focused his mind on the plant.
Black-Stemmed Wood, a fourth-grade spiritual herb, requires soil infused with aethestime ore. It possesses both hardness and toughness, with excellent spiritual power conductivity. Once mature, it serves as an exceptional material for artifact refinement.
In one word, hard!
"An exceptional material for artifact refinement deserves an exceptional treasure, doesn't it?" Lu Chen chuckled softly and took out the two sixth-grade spirit seeds, one black and one white, from his storage bag.
When held together, he could faintly sense a weak suction force from the other seed, and the closer they got, the stronger the attraction became.
Before he knew it, the two spirit seeds had fused into one.
The black and white spiritual lights intertwined, distinct yet harmonious, as if they had always belonged together.
"Unfortunately, my cave dwelling currently lacks the suitable environment for the Dyin-Yang Fruit spirit herb to grow. I'll have to temporarily inconvenience the spirit seeds by keeping them in the Gluttonous Beast Pouch for a while."
After the fusion of the two Dyin-Yang Fruit spirit seeds, they required a yin-yang balanced spiritual energy and soil to grow. Lu Chen's current spiritual fields couldn't meet these conditions, so he would have to collect the necessary treasures first.
"Perhaps I can ask for help from the Thunderstar Beast in the Thunderstar Cave. It possesses the strength of a seventh-grade demon beast and excels in thunder magic. In the moment of destruction, it contains a hint of the yin-yang principle."
Lu Chen decided that the next time he visited Thunderstar, he would take advantage of the Thunderstar's resources.
"It's not for any other reason, but I'm concerned about the old demon beast. I want to help it clear away the Thunder Death Crystals."
With that thought, he arrived at the Yin Spiritual Field area.
Stepping into it was like entering a ghostly realm.
Wandering souls, bloody flesh, and murderous aura filled the sky. The spiritual herbs within were hideous and eerie, exuding a chilling yin energy.
Lu Chen was already accustomed to this scene as he inspected the bizarre spiritual herbs scattered throughout the Yin Spiritual Field.
Lu Chen noticed that both the Demon-Suppressing Fruit and the Five Viscera Divine Tree next to it had entered the maturation stage. Judging from the semi-transparent progress bar below them, they would probably ripen one after another within a year or two.
Amidst the yin energy, a large ball of flesh rolled to Lu Chen's feet.
"Here you go, it's the same tasty flesh and blood as before."
Lu Chen smiled and took out a piece of meat from a Blood Mountain cultivator's remains from his storage bag, tossing it to the ball of flesh.
Before the piece of meat even landed, it turned into a cloud of bloody mist, instantly devoured by the Meat Spirit God.
The pink pupil at the top of the sphere blinked at Lu Chen, looking somewhat unsatisfied.
"Your appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Thankfully, there's that kind Foundation Establishment cultivator providing endless flesh and blood. After consuming most of it, it can even promote regeneration, ensuring a constant supply."
Lu Chen secretly marveled at the kindness of fellow cultivators.
He took out another piece of meat and threw it to the Meat Spirit God.
The large ball of flesh bounced away happily, content after its meal.
"The quality of the ghost substances that the Ghost-Eating Evil Vine absorbs is insufficient. I need to find a way to obtain some high-quality evil ghosts."
Lu Chen murmured to himself as he observed the Ghost-Eating Evil Vine, which was in the process of integrating the ghostly substances into its being.
Just then, he felt something strange on the back of his foot.
Looking down, he saw a piece of tree bark with a gorgeous floral pattern resting on his Green Jade Boots.
The tree bark was no bigger than a palm, barely able to cover the back of Lu Chen's foot.
"Such a small thing wants to replace my body?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh at the mischievous Beautiful Corpse Bark, as he felt a slight tingling sensation on the skin of his foot.
He kicked it away and continued to inspect the other bizarre spirit plants.
One day, as he was cultivating his spirit plants in his cave abode, he heard a familiar voice calling out from outside.
"Lu Chen, are you in your cave? I have something to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen quickly made his way to the edge of his cave and deactivated the array, welcoming the young man in.
"Xuan Yuanche, what brings you here in such a hurry? What's the matter?"
He asked with a smile, as Xuan Yuanche was quite close by and they interacted frequently, leading to a familiar relationship between them.
"Good news, good news! I plan to go to the northern part of the Central Continent for cultivation and exploration with several fellow cultivators whom I'm acquainted with. Lu Chen, would you like to join us?"
"To the distant north?"
Lu Chen's expression turned hesitant.
"I recall that you've inquired about the Primordial Magnetic Spirit Ore more than once. It is said that there used to be a Primordial Magnetic Spirit Mountain on Yuanfeng Island in the Boundless Sea. We can go and take a look."
"That's why I came to ask if you're interested, Lu Chen."
"Those fellow cultivators are all at the Foundation Establishment stage, with decent strength and good character. With their combined efforts, your chances of obtaining the Primordial Magnetic Spirit Ore will greatly increase."
"Such a great opportunity, why wouldn't you want to compete for this big opportunity?"
Xuan Yuanche asked, puzzled. After learning about the path of their journey, he immediately thought of Lu Chen's previous interest in the Primordial Magnetic Spirit Ore and specially came to invite him.
"Compete for an opportunity?"
Lu Chen echoed these words in his mind.
While opportunities were important, with the Light Group's presence, there was no need to compete.
Instead of competing for an opportunity, why not buy it?
A thought flashed through his mind.
