When the emaciated old man stepped down from the stage, Lu Xuan stood up and walked around to his front.
“Fellow Daoist, this is the Third-Grade Jiao Vine and third-grade Purifying Spirit Talisman.”
He took out a thick, dark vine and two White Jade Talismans that flickered with a lustrous white light from his storage bag.
“Good, the quality of the Jiao Vine exceeds my expectations.”
The emaciated old man held the Jiao Vine that looked like a sinister venomous snake and said with satisfaction.
Please accept this fifth-grade Holy Baby Fruit Spirit Seed.”
He handed over the spirit seed to Lu Xuan.
As soon as the spirit seed dropped into his hand, Lu Xuan felt a faint, chill aura. The Holy Baby Fruit Spirit Seed had a weird shape. At first glance, it looked like an oval embryo with a dried-up and small gray-black baby curled up inside. The baby seemed to sense Lu Xuan’s gaze. It subtly turned towards his line of sight without showing any traces. Suddenly, a wisp of cold and resentful aura diffused out, as if it wanted to penetrate into Lu Xuan’s body.
Lu Xuan thought and immediately the Immaculate Jade hanging around his neck emitted a cool aura. The aura swept through his body, cleansing every inch of his skin.
The cold and resentful aura vanished instantly, and the gray-black baby in the seed became blurry, as if it was all just an illusion conjured by Lu Xuan beforehand.
“As expected from a fifth-grade spirit seed, it indeed has some bizarre aspects.”
Lu Xuan said to himself. He carefully placed the Holy Baby Fruit Spirit Seed in his storage bag.
The Treasure Exchange continued, and although Lu Xuan had already obtained his mam goal of the trip- the fifth-grade Holy Baby Fruit Spirit Seed, he still paid attention to the treasures the cultivators showcased on stage, hoping to find desirable spirit seeds, demon beast eggs, and so on.
The cultivators took turns stepping onto the stage, and soon it was Lu Xuan’s turn.
He stepped onto the stone stage and took out a spirit fruit that was like smoke from his storage bag.
“This is the third-grade Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit with superior quality. Consuming it can speed up the cultivation progress of illusion techniques and enhance their might. ”
“It can also be used to feed demon beasts that have the relevant natural talents, or to refine certain rare elixirs.”
“I’m looking to exchange it for a rare Spirit Seed of third-grade or above or demon beast eggs or younglings. If there is a fresh and complete corpse of a third-grade or above demon beast, I might consider it.”
As Lu Xuan’s voice fell, many of the cultivators who practiced illusion techniques under the stage were all interested. A superior quality third-grade Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit was a rare sight.
Unfortunately, most cultivators didn’t have any spirit beasts that could satisfy Lu Xuan. The few that had them only offered commonplace goods. After consideration, Lu Xuan finally declined politely.
Soon, it entered the free-exchange stage. If cultivators had the idea of exchanging their treasures but were not satisfied with the other party’s offer, they could pull a third party into the exchange to get what they needed.
Lu Xuan quietly sat in the corner, only thinking about how to return to Sword Gate Town quickly and safely after the gathering concluded.
After all, the fifth-grade Holy Baby Fruit Spirit Seed that he just obtained was clearly evil in nature, which starkly contradicted his identity as an Inner Sect Disciple from a reputable Sect. It would not be appropriate to plant it in the sect, and he planned to plant it in the Underworld Spirit Field in the Small Courtyard of Sword Gate Town.
“Fellow Daoist.”
A hoarse voice sounded from his side, Lu Xuan turned to look, and saw a black- robed monk not far from him, smiling at him.
“Fellow Daoist, what can I do for you?”
I have here a very fresh corpse of a demon beast of the fourth rank. I’m thinking of exchanging it for the Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit in your hands.” ‘However, after all, there is a difference in ranks between the two, and a direct exchange seems rather unfair. So, I came over to discuss this with you.” ‘A fresh corpse of a fourth-grade demon beast, can friend take it out and let me have a look?”
Upon hearing the words of the black-robed monk, Lu Xuan immediately became somewhat curious.
The black-robed monk came to an empty space in the hall, and flicked his right hand around his waist, a giant scorpion appeared on the ground.
The giant scorpion was more than half a zhang long, with a hideous appearance, its slender tail hung high like a spike, deep black light occasionally appeared on it, indicating its intense toxicity.
Its body was entirely crimson and its shell seemed incredibly hard. On each side of its head, it had three eyes, even though it had lost all life, it was still possible to see an intention of ferocity from the six eyes of the giant scorpion.
“This is a fourth-grade demon beast, the Six-eyed Red Iron Scorpion, extremely toxic, with an exceptionally hard shell and skeleton. Under the gaze of its six eyes, it can slow down its opponent’s speed, and if the difference in rank is significant, it can even immobilize them directly,”
Seeing Lu Xuan’s curious expression, the black-robed monk explained patiently in a hoarse voice.
“This Six-eyed Red Iron Scorpion is well-preserved, the scorpion bone can be used to refine defensive Magic Artifacts, and the tail can be refined into poison needle Magic Artifacts, moreover, the essence blood, eyes and so on also each have their uses. In terms of value, it is considerably higher than the third-grade Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit in your hands.”
Therefore, if you want to exchange, I hope you can make up for some of the difference between the two.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan’s face showed a hesitant expression.
This demon beast corpse is indeed extremely well-preserved, however, the most essential venom has already been extracted from it, its value has probably decreased by nearly half, and my Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit is a rare superior quality fruit, far more precious than common third-grade spirit fruit, the gap between the two is not that big.”
Lu Xuan thought for a moment, then slowly said.
This fourth-grade Six-eyed Red Iron Scorpion was a treasure to him. The pupils could be used to cultivate the Hundred Pupils’ Bizarre Tree, and he could gain six of them all at once, which was an extra harvest.
The skeleton could be used as a nutrient for the Thorn Bone, and the parts of the corpse that contain scorpion poison could be used to cultivate Poison Shuttle Tree, it has a wide range of uses.
But he still wanted to get it at the least cost, so he directly pointed out the defects of the corpse to lower the price.
“What do you want in exchange for this demon beast corpse?”
“Third-grade Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit, plus four hundred Spirit Stones, this is
the highest price I can offer, what do you think, friend?”
Lu Xuan said casually.
“Fine, it’s a deal.”
Although what Lu Xuan was giving was somewhat off from what the monk had in mind, he urgently needed this Illusory Smoke Luo Fruit, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Lu Xuan placed the giant scorpion corpse into the storage bag and waited quietly for the end of the conference.
Outside the large Stone Mountain, Lu Xuan walked out from inside the mountain, feeling the faint prying eyes around him, the spiritual power in his body was running wildly, and his figure turned into a flash of light, disappearing within a few breaths.
When there was no one around, the Hidden Spirit Cloak worn inside revealed transparent threads on the surface, a thin layer of special material appeared in front of his eyes, and he disappeared on the spot.
A moment later, with more than half of Lu Xuan’s spiritual energy consumed, his figure reappeared several miles away. After carefully sensing his surroundings and confirming there were no abnormalities, he quickly headed for Sword Gate Town.
Little courtyard in Sword Gate Town.
Lu Xuan activated the Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Array and entered the courtyard.
As soon as the thick cloud smoke began to cover the courtyard, he couldn’t wait to take out the Holy Baby Fruit Spirit from the storage bag.
A fifth-order spiritual species, it’s my first time cultivating it.”
He thought to himself with expectation in his heart.
