Chapter 606: There Are Two Types of Spirit Plant Masters
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze entirely attracted by the bronze long pike in front of him.
The style of the long pike was extremely ancient, and the differences from the Magic Artifacts of this era were clearly visible. The surface was covered with yellow-green rust, making it look very worn.
From time to time, strands of grey and red mixed smoke drifted out from inside the long pike. The grey smoke was lifeless, the red smoke craved blood, and you could faintly hear the sounds of fierce fights within the smoke. This evil qi filled the entire room very quickly.
The tall elder circulated his spiritual power, confining the strong evil aura emanating from the bronze long pike within a Spiritual Energy Shield.
"How does Friend Lu find it?”
The elder asked Lu Xuan with a self-satisfied expression, subtly showing off with a hint of pride.
"Taoist friend Mu indeed has a remarkable collection, to be able to possess such a Magic Artifact full of evil qi.”
Lu Xuan showed the perfect level of admiration in his eyes.
"I won’t hide it from you, I have some interest in this Bronze Long Pike, Friend Mu, name a price.”
He said to the tall elder.
"Friend Lu, you’re mistaken. How can this kind of treasure be measured in terms of Spirit Stones?”
The tall elder scoffed.
"This long pike is only for trade, not sale. If Friend Lu possesses something that interests me, I might consider an exchange.”
"How do you think the Fourth Grade Sword Symbol I mentioned earlier would fare?”
Lu Xuan asked tentatively.
"Although the Sword Symbol has strong offensive capabilities, it doesn’t count as a rare treasure in my eyes.”
The tall elder shook his head, verbally denying.
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment, then took out a clear and bright elixir from his storage bag.
A faint aura of clear spirit twined around the pill, and smelling it made one’s heart and mind clear up.
It was a Fourth-grade Dust Cleaning Pill produced from the Jade Dew Fruit Spirit Plant. After taking it, it could remove the different kinds of turbid energy within the body, greatly reducing the harm caused by the Evil Spite Qi. It was considered an extremely rare elixir.
"Fourth Grade Dust Cleaning Pill? I didn’t know Friend Lu also possesses such kinds of elixirs.”
The tall elder’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
"On normal days, aside from cultivating Spiritual Plants, I also try to practice a bit of Alchemy. Luckily, I was able to refine a batch of these highly difficult Dust Cleaning Pills.”
Lu Xuan made up a story casually.
"What do you think, Friend Mu? Is it possible to exchange this for that Bronze Long Pike?”
The tall elder just smiled and remained silent. He moved to the wooden building before him and gently patted its bloated body.
The towering old gentleman agreed readily.
Lu Xuan gave the Orb of Earth Movement to him and received the Bronze Long Pike.
"Such a strong demonic qi should guarantee the successful ripening of the Sha Yuan Fruit.”
"Such a high cost to acquire this long pick; if a good Light Cluster reward doesn’t emerge once it ripens, that wouldn’t be fair to me.”
He lamented inwardly.
"Friend Lu seems to possess a lot of treasures, which surprises me.”
Once each received their cherished treasures, the towering old man said to Lu Xuan, expressing his surprise at the amount of rare treasures this Spirit Plant Master had.
"The family I lived and cultivated in used to be a local force. After its decline, I got a few good treasures. With a lot of hard work at cultivating Spiritual Plants, I accumulated some treasures, hence having my current wealth.”
Lu Xuan said smiling, not revealing a trace that these treasures were just a peculiarity among many.
"By the way, I wonder if Taoist Friend Mu might have collected any exotic Spiritual Seeds? If so, could you allow me to have a peek?”
He made a curious inquiry to the towering old man.
” I do have Spiritual Seeds, of quite high ranks — Fifth or Sixth. However, they are incredibly bizarre. Even a Spirit Plant Master like Friend Lu may not have seen or heard of them.”
The towering old man lifted his head slightly and spoke with a hint of pride.
"Is that so?”
Lu Xuan’s curiosity was piqued by his words.
"The Spiritual Seeds were found by my family’s elder in Cave Heaven. Even with his cultivation level, he couldn’t discern them, and neither could a few renowned Spirit Plant Masters who tried later.”
The towering old man explained.
"Spirit Plant Masters are of two kinds. One is me, and the other is everyone else. Just because other Spirit Plant Masters couldn’t discern them doesn’t mean that I can’t.”
Lu Xuan confidently voiced.
His attitude, however, appeared to be rather arrogant in the old man’s eyes, stimulating his competitive nature.
"For Friend Lu, how about making a bet?”
"If you can discern the origin or variety or cultivation method of that bizarre Spiritual Seed, I will fulfill a demand of yours within my capability, or directly give you ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.”
"However, if you can’t, you should give me a rare treasure equivalent to the Orb of Earth Movement we just dealt with. How about it?”
"I accept this bet.”
Feeling overjoyed internally, Lu Xuan’s face reflected uncertainty. After pondering for long, he agreed with a nod.
