The fog was greeted by a quickly moving white Spirit Crane.
Moments later, it stopped at the entrance of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
Lu Xuan jumped down and courteously pulled out a Spirit Stone, intending to give it to the Spirit Crane as a carriage fee.
The Spirit Crane tweeted sharply, flapped its wings to brush away Lu Xuan’s extended hand, then shot towards the sky, departing resolutely.
“Ah, why so polite?”
Lu Xuan reluctantly placed the Spirit Stone back into his storage bag, sighing heavily.
Upon entering the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, various task information was constantly refreshed on the light curtain. Dozens of outer sect disciples were waiting below, waiting to accept suitable tasks.
Lu Xuan glanced around casually, not finding any Spirit Plant and Spirit Beast related tasks suitable for him, so he bypassed the light curtain and came to a deacon of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
“Excuse me, Brother, I want to release a task, how should I do it?”
It was rare to buy fresh Demon Beast eyeballs in Sword Gate Town, and Lu
Xuan didn’t want to hunt Demon Beasts himself.
After weighing his options, he decided to release a task related to Demon Beast eyeballs, letting the many disciples of the Sky Sword Sect help him solve the issue of feeding the Hundred Pupil Bizarre Tree.
Even though he had three Third-Rank Treasures such as the Hidden Spirit Cloak, Sword of Wind and Thunder Pellet, and the Immaculate Jade, a master-level Golden Sword technique, a body of strength not inferior to Second Grade Magical Artifacts, the Second-Class Technique of Blood Burning Arrow, and many Second Grade Talismans, he still did not want to risk his life to go to Secret Lands or wildlands to hunt Demon Beasts.
Indeed, he remembered his original intentions.
“To publish a task, three Spirit Stones are required, which will be displayed on the light curtain for a month. If the time limit is exceeded and no fellow disciples accept the task, the task information will disappear, but you can also renew it.
“You have to decide the content of the task and the reward for the task. After you confirm it, we will release it to avoid unnecessary disputes.”
“Tasks can be set as single-time tasks, or they can be set as multiple tasks. The former will disappear after it is taken, and the latter can be canceled at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall at any time.
The deacon of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall who was at the Perfect Qi Training level raised his head and explained in detail to Lu Xuan.
“Okay, thank you for your guidance, Brother.”
“I want to publish a task to collect the eyeballs of Demon Beasts, First Grade and Second Grade is enough.”
“The most important requirement is to ensure the freshness of these eyeballs.”
“As for the task reward, the eyeball of a First Grade Demon Beast is priced at ten Spirit Stones each, and the eyeball of a Second Grade depends on the species of the beast, the quality of the eyeball, the freshness, etc. The price fluctuates, but it will not be less than thirty Spirit Stones each.
Lu Xuan took out three Spirit Stones from his storage bag and handed them to the monk of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
The monk held a silver-white pen and wrote quickly on a small light curtain, then handed it to Lu Xuan.
“Little Brother, you can confirm it again. If there are no problems, you can publish it now.”
Lu Xuan glanced at the task information on the small light curtain and nodded his approval.
The monk of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall asked Lu Xuan about his cave dwelling location and daily routine, so they can easily hand over when the task was completed.
“By the way, Brother, you often release various tasks in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, so you must have a deep understanding of the surrounding secret lands. Do you know where there are abundant Demon Insects?
“A Secret Land full of Demon Insects? I do know a place called Red Miasma Valley. It is full of lush trees and damp climate, and large areas are covered with miasma, which is extremely suitable for various types of Demon Insects to grow and breed.”
“If you want to hunt Demon Insects, it’s a good place to go.’
Lu Xuan quickly shook his hand to decline.
“Brother, you misunderstand. I just want to know more. I have recently been interested in those strange Demon Insects.”
He pondered for a moment, then continued speaking.
“I’ll post another task related to demon insect larvae or eggs.
“Collect demon insect eggs or larvae for me, it would be great if you could get those that are shedding and hatching during their growth process.”
“The task reward will still be mainly Spirit Stones, and it will be negotiated based on the species and grade of the demon insects, and the number of eggs or larvae.”
Larvae or eggs suitable for the growth of the Xuan Chong Vine are also rare, so Lu Xuan decided to post another task to hire fellow Sect cultivators to help him collect suitable species of demon insect eggs or larvae.
The Hundred Pupils1 Bizarre Tree and Xuan Chong Vine are both of the fourth grade, and they are currently the highest grade Spirit Plants he is cultivating. It is worth paying some extra Spirit Stones for their normal growth.
Anyway, the expenditure would certainly yield even greater returns, these Spirit Stones are nothing compared to the rewards from the light clusters.
After buying the Xuan Chong Vine, he didn’t have many Sword Marks left in his hands, only over fifty, but he hadn’t consumed much of his Spirit Stones, and currently held more than eighteen hundred. This was completely sufficient to purchase first and second-grade demon beast pupils, insect eggs, etc.
The Miscellaneous Affairs Hall monk nodded and entered the information into the light curtain.
Lu Xuan handed over three Spirit Stones and came in front of the huge light curtain in the hall.
After not gazing for long, the relevant content of the two tasks appeared on the light curtain.
Underneath the curtain, many cultivators were attracted by the task information above.
“A task to collect demon beast pupils… why does it feel a bit odd? It doesn’t seem like the style of a proper Sect.”
“Why bother about it so much, maybe it’s a fellow Sect member researching some special elixir, or methods to deal with evil cultivators!”
“This task is quite simple, no matter which Secret Land you go to, just casually eliminate the demon beasts, and moreover, the pupils are usually not the most valuable part of a demon beast’s body. Being able to exchange for some extra Spirit Stones is also a pleasant surprise.”
“The main difficulty is how to ensure the freshness of the demon beast pupils to the greatest extent.”
“Maybe you can beat the demon beast to half-death, and then completely deal with it after returning to the Sect? This way, you don’t have to worry about the preservation of the pupils.”
In the discussions, the monks quickly thought of a feasible method.
As for the task of insect eggs or larvae, there were considerably fewer Sky Sword Sect cultivators interested in it.
After all, demon insects are quite small, move mysteriously, and have many strange abilities. If one is not careful, they may be killed by them.
Lu Xuan watched for a while, then returned to his cave dwelling, quietly waiting for his fellow Sect members to bring him the items he needed.
As soon as he opened the courtyard door, the round belly of the Wind Sparrow Fledgling fell on his head and immediately bounced off.
The Cloud Leopard was still elegantly lying on the ground, its green pupils lightly staring at Lu Xuan. Only the grey hairs swaying at the tip of its ears revealed its joyful mood.
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but pinch those two tufts of grey hair.
“Roar ~ ~”
The Cloud Leopard let out a low roar, overflowing with intimacy. Lu Xuan teased the two little ones, then went into the Spirit Field.
He went near where he had buried the Mysterious Insect Vine Spirit Seed, took out the branch he bought, and carefully removed the Hidden Cicada Insect Eggs that were the size of Spirit Rice from the branch.
There were a total of eight insect eggs lying in his hand, and he could faintly sense the weak vitality inside them.
He used the Earth Pulling Technique, creating several small holes in the Spirit Soil above the Mysterious Insect Vine Spirit Seed. Lu Xuan controlled the Hidden Cicada Insect Eggs with his spiritual power and gently placed them on the surface of the Mysterious Insect Vine Spirit Seed..
