"Nine fireflies were exchanged for a total of twenty-nine low-grade spiritual stones and seventy broken spirits. In addition to the six spiritual stones and eighty-two broken spirits in my hand, I now have a total of thirty-six low-grade spiritual stones and fifty.
Two Broken Spirits.”
"It's a pity that the black budworm larvae killed that day caused a lot of harm, otherwise the net worth would be much richer."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but grit his teeth bitterly when he thought about spending six of his spiritual stones and fifty broken spirits on a thin black thread.
Money makes people courageous. With such a large amount of spiritual stones, his back straightened up much.
After leaving Baicaotang, Lu Xuan couldn't worry about the spiritual field whose protective power was better than nothing, and hurried straight to the next destination.
There are all kinds of shops in the market, including many small shops that specialize in or sell spiritual seeds.
He came to a shop with familiarity.
An ordinary middle-aged monk with a low level of Qi training was taking care of the spiritual plant seedlings placed in the shop. When he saw Lu Xuan coming in, he stood up to greet him.
"Little brother, is there anything I can help you with?"
The shopkeeper asked aloud.
"Let me take a look first."
Lu Xuan replied, his eyes scanning the entire store.
There were many types of spiritual species on display in the store, with different forms, and Lu Xuan didn't recognize most of them.
There were also many spiritual plant seedlings placed in the corner, showing various strange phenomena, and Lu Xuan was even more unfamiliar with them.
After the spiritual plant matures, if it is allowed to continue to grow, there will be a certain possibility of producing spiritual seeds, but most of these spiritual seeds are not suitable for cultivating new spiritual plants.
Most spiritual species need to be condensed through various special methods, and there are even some methods of condensation that only those large sects can master.
Especially for those rare and high-grade spiritual species, their condensation methods will not be spread to the outside world at all.
Even the condensation of ordinary-grade spiritual seeds is beyond the control of ordinary casual cultivators. There might be some big monks or big families standing behind this shop.
"How many spiritual seeds of Firefly Grass are there?"
Lu Xuan pointed to the firefly seeds on the shelf like dry tea leaves and asked the middle-aged monk.
"Forty Broken Spirits per piece, buy no less than ten at a time, retail for fifty Broken Spirits."
"I need twenty."
"In addition, I would like to ask my fellow Taoist to recommend a first-grade spiritual plant seedling or spiritual seed to me, preferably one that does not require high spiritual energy and has simple growth conditions."
There were twenty-four firefly plants planted in the small spiritual field in the yard before, but Lu Xuan did not plan to buy the same number of seeds this time.
Neither the Firefly Grass nor the Moon Eclipse Tree has a grade. The Moon Eclipse Tree is more valuable, but it cannot be called a first grade tree.
The richness of the white light group that appears after the spiritual plant matures is affected by many factors, including the type and grade of the spiritual plant.
So Lu Xuan wanted to try planting a relatively easy first-grade spiritual plant to see what kind of light group reward it would be when it matures.
"The requirements for spiritual energy are not high, and the growth conditions are simple..."
"What do you think of these two?"
"Both are first-grade spiritual plants, and the other is a blood-devouring vine spiritual plant, which requires a certain amount of exotic beasts or demonic beasts' flesh and blood essence to be raised. When mature, taking them directly can enhance the qi and blood in the monk's body, or assist in the practice of certain special techniques."
"There is also a red cloud pine seedling. During the cultivation process, it occasionally requires the cultivation of fire spiritual power. The red cloud pine spiritual fruit produced is rich in spiritual power and has a unique and wonderful taste. It is extremely popular among female cultivators."
The higher the level of spiritual plants, the more stringent the requirements for their growth environment and conditions. There are various complex conditions such as spiritual energy, spiritual soil, spiritual springs, etc. The cultivation of these two first-grade spiritual plants is already relatively simple.
Lu Xuan first ruled out the blood-devouring vine. He was joking. He was barely in the stage of food and clothing. He might not be able to eat a meal of monster meat for ten and a half days. If he planted this blood-devouring vine, what would he feed it?
You can't cut the meat yourself and feed it to the vines, right?
As for Chiyun Song, he currently has the fireball technique, and there are more than a dozen fireflies and eclipse fruits that can be drawn later. He may be able to draw some fire spells. Supplying it with a small amount of fire spiritual power is not a big problem.
.
"How many spiritual stones does that red cloud pine seedling need?"
Lu Xuan pointed to a pine tree seedling in the corner. The small pine tree was less than two feet tall. The pine leaves were like fiery red needles. From a distance, it looked like a small cluster of red clouds. Hence the name Red Cloud Pine.
"Five spiritual stones." the middle-aged monk replied.
"How about I take all the twenty Spirit Firefly seeds, this Red Cloud Pine seedling, and twelve Spirit Stones with me?"
"Little brother, you are bargaining too hard. Let's do this. I'll make a profit at a loss and add seventy broken souls."
"Fellow Taoist, you also know that it is not easy for a young casual cultivator to earn some spiritual stones."
"I got the idea after seeing that red pine tree was destined to me. I really want to buy it, but I don't know if it can be successfully planted!"
"Fifty Broken Spirits, no more."
"Deal!" The middle-aged monk shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
He handed twenty firefly seeds to Lu Xuan, and helped pack the red cloud pine seedlings in cloth bags, and told Lu Xuan to plant them as soon as possible. If the delay lasted for a long time, the vitality of the seedlings would be affected.
Lu Xuan followed the good advice and nodded. With a look of regret on his face, he took out the twelve spirit stones and fifty broken spirits that had not yet been completely warmed up, clearing the money and goods.
In the market, Lu Xuan argued with a casual cultivator with a red face.
"Fellow Taoist, this protective formation is only second-hand, and there are blood stains on it. This is a sign of great misfortune, and its meaning is unknown. Twenty spirit stones are already a high price!"
The casual cultivator looked helpless.
"Little brother, if the formation is brand new, then I will at least double the price. As for the blood stains, it will not affect its protective ability. If you cut it from twenty-five spiritual stones to twenty, there is such a price.
Of?"
"There is nothing wrong with the formation, but its origin is unknown, which is a bit worrying, and I don't know how long it has been used. I'm afraid it may have to be banned."
Lu Xuan looked like he wanted to buy it but was also worried.
"Let's see, twenty-one spiritual stones. If there is any problem with the formation, you can come to me in the market. I have been setting up a stall here for more than ten years, so I still have this reputation."
"Okay, let's just consider you as my friend."
Lu Xuan made a decision and took out twenty-one low-grade spiritual stones.
"No, no, no, let's just talk about spiritual stones, not friendship."
The casual cultivator quickly refused. Lu Xuan had been fighting with him for nearly half an hour in order to cut off a few spirit stones. If there was really any friendship, he didn't know how many spirit stones would be used to offset it.
Lu Xuan took the array plate with some dark red blood stains from the stall owner and carefully stuffed it into his arms.
He didn't care about the blood stain at all. After all, no matter how scary a ghost was, it couldn't be compared to a poor ghost.
He used to never go to roadside shops to avoid haggling. In this spiritual world, in order to save a few spiritual stones, he has developed a deadly bargaining skill.
"All the spiritual stones brought by the nine spiritual fireflies have gone out again, and even caught up with my original family."
"However, the harvest is still quite big. Twenty firefly seeds and one red cloud pine seedling."
"The most important thing is that the protective formation that I have been thinking about is finally in hand."
Lu Xuan pinched his chest, which had become shriveled again, and thought in his mind.
