Chapter 977: Wishes Fulfilled Fragrant Coins
"Senior Thunderosaur, over the centuries, there are too many unknown factors. It's uncertain whether I can advance to the Primal Essence realm. You might also obtain other longevity treasures, so it's too early to talk about these matters now."
Lucas said solemnly.
"However, I can promise you that if I truly break through to the Primal Essence realm, I will definitely protect the Thunderclaw beast clan and ensure their safety."
"Your promise is enough."
Qingjiao Thunderosaur sighed lightly, and silver-white lightning-like clouds burst out of his mouth.
"Among the Thunderclaw beasts, there are occasionally some variants that contain Thunderosaur bloodline. Some even have the potential to grow to the Seventh Rank. They won't hold you back, Lucas."
"Haha, who knows, maybe one day I'll need their help."
Lucas laughed heartily.
He led the Thunderclaw Beast into the stone cave where he had previously lived, paid respects to his parents, and then followed the variant Thunderclaw beasts into the secret realm, where he collected a substantial amount of dark Green Lightning Fluid.
Returning to his cave, he resumed his previous life as a Spirit Herbologist. He cultivated spirit plants, raised spirit beasts, and in his spare time, practiced mystic arts, refined pills, and brewed spirit wines. His life was simple yet fulfilling.
The only change was that due to the aura of the Profound Sword Sect disciple, the number of cultivators visiting his Cave of Serenity significantly increased. Some even came from other Star Caves specifically for this purpose.
Each Cultivator was a potential candidate who could bring high-rank spirit seeds, so Lucas warmly welcomed them all. He ensured that there was enough spirit fruit and spirit wine, making sure every Cultivator left satisfied.
He also used this opportunity to meet many Core Formation Realm masters.
On this day, while checking the condition of his spirit plants in the Cave of Serenity, a familiar gentle voice came from outside.
"Daoist Lucas, this is Zhang Nine Ancestors from the Star Plucking Tower, coming to visit Daoist Lucas for a cup of spirit wine."
Lucas's spiritual sense swept over, and a refined middle-aged man stood outside the great array. It was indeed Zhang Nine Ancestors from the Star Plucking Tower, and the two had a deep friendship.
"Daoist Zhang, welcome, welcome. It's been years since we last met. Daoist Lucas still has enough spirit wine."
Lucas's figure flashed, and he appeared outside the Cave, smiling and greeting Zhang Nine Ancestors.
"That's good."
"Daoist Zhang, I came this time to try that True Sword Elixir you occasionally release in the general store. It's too rare, only one bottle every one or two months, and it's always snatched up by others."
Zhang Nine Ancestors smiled and sighed.
"Hahaha, Daoist Zhang, just say it directly."
"Lucas will send you a few bottles."
Lucas's lips curled.
He had accumulated quite a few bottles of True Sword Elixir in the Profound Sword Sect, so sending a few bottles to Zhang Nine Ancestors was no problem.
"Daoist Lucas, you are truly generous."
Zhang Nine Ancestors smiled and nodded.
"Given our friendship, a few bottles of True Sword Elixir are nothing."
The two entered the courtyard, and Lucas immediately brought out the True Sword Elixir, smiling as he spoke.
After a few casual chats, Zhang Nine Ancestors expressed his purpose.
"Daoist Lucas, I heard from the Star Plucking Tower's branch that you want the Chamber of Commerce to help you collect some Thunder Lotus Spirit Seeds, the more the better?"
"That's right. I have a Thunder-type spirit beast in the Cave of Serenity that is extremely fond of Thunder Lotus seeds, so I want to cultivate more."
"Struggling to collect enough spirit seeds, I sought help from the Chamber of Commerce."
Lucas said half-jokingly.
"Are these Thunder Lotus Spirit Seeds enough?"
Zhang Nine Ancestors smiled and waved his hand, and dozens of silver-white spirit seeds appeared between them.
"Sixty-two Thunder Lotus Spirit Seeds!"
Lucas was inwardly amazed.
Although the Thunderstorm Lotus is only a Fourth Rank herb, gathering so many spiritual seeds is no easy task. If he were to search for them alone, it would take an indefinite amount of time.
Only the vast network and powerful organizational skills of the Hailou Commerce Guild could gather over sixty spiritual seeds in such a short period.
"May I ask how much these Thunderstorm Lotus seeds cost?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"A few Fourth Rank seeds, Daoist Lu, there's no need to worry about it. Just take them."
Zhang Jiuzong's face showed a kind expression.
"That won't do. The cumulative value of Fourth Rank seeds is quite significant, and I can't take advantage of the guild."
Lu Xuan said firmly.
"Daoist Lu, you're being too formal."
Zhang Jiuzong's brows furrowed slightly, showing a hint of displeasure.
"This decision was made by several of our guild's powerful Nascent Soul elders. It's a recognition of your hard work over the years. Please accept it."
"Alright, I won't refuse then."
Lu Xuan couldn't push it further and had to accept.
He understood that the guild's willingness to gift him so many Thunderstorm Lotus seeds was likely due to his status as a disciple of the Profound Sword Sect.
"Additionally, the incense treasure you asked the guild to find for you has been located."
Zhang Jiuzong's face broke into a smile, and he held out a peculiar incense coin.
The incense coin was round on the outside and square on the inside, with a dark yellow hue, as if it had been cut out from a paper coin. Upon closer inspection, countless tiny, almost invisible light points could be seen within.
Lu Xuan probed it with his spiritual sense, and waves of wishes surged into his mind.
He could almost see countless believers kneeling before an incense altar, their hearts filled with devoutness, praying to a paper coin. Over the years, these wishes condensed into the peculiar incense coin.
Each light point inside the coin was a fragment of incense wish power.
"This incense treasure is called the Ruyi Incense Coin, a Sixth Rank treasure. It contains the incense wish power gathered by a highly enlightened monk over many years. It can be used to refine a golden body, enhance virtue, and forge incense treasures."
"It was originally stored in the guild's treasure vault, but upon hearing that Daoist Lu was searching for a similar incense treasure, we decided to gift it to you."
Zhang Jiuzong smiled and explained.
"Zhang Daoist, you're too kind..."
Lu Xuan's expression showed a mix of disbelief.
"That's right, the Ruyi Incense Coin is a direct gift to you, Daoist Lu."
"This is too valuable."
Lu Xuan shook his head.
The Ruyi Incense Coin was a Sixth Rank treasure, extremely rare and precious. Compared to the dozens of Thunderstorm Lotus seeds, it was far more valuable, making even the usually unbothered Lu Xuan feel a bit embarrassed.
Receiving such a valuable item so easily for the Seventh Rank Incense Wondrous Tree left him feeling a bit overwhelmed.
"Of course, it's not a free gift. There are other conditions."
Zhang Jiuzong quickly clarified.
"Oh? What conditions?"
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
"Your expertise in spiritual plants has been proven over the years. You've solved many plant-related problems for the guild and cultivated a large number of high-rank spiritual plants, contributing greatly."
"The guild will soon acquire a few rare Sixth Rank seeds and plans to entrust their cultivation to you to avoid failure."
"Since you've just returned from the Profound Profundity Realm, I thought it best to inform you in advance."
"As for the Ruyi Incense Coin, consider it your compensation for cultivating these seeds."
"..."
Lu Xuan fell silent.
Not only could he obtain a rare incense treasure, but he would also receive a light orb reward for free?
There are such good things in the world?
