Chapter 623: Evil Granny Tree Monster
"This auction is quite innovative, as it can cater to the two or three thousand ‘Cultivators’ present.”
"If they were to auction each fifth rank treasure one by one, it would be a waste of time.”
Lu Xuan stood in the middle of the meteorite, silently reflecting.
He naturally focused on the auctioning section for Spiritual Medicine, which included Spiritual Seeds.
Besides, he also kept an eye on Magical Instruments and materials. After all, with so many high-rank spirit plants in the Spirit Field, it was challenging to manage. If he encountered any Resentful Soul Type Magical Instrument or Buddhist Magical Tool, as well as any useful materials, he would also try to win them in the auction.
"There’s even a little game,” he thought, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile.
"If some unknown items contain Spiritual Seeds or something, wouldn’t that be within easy reach for me?” Lu Xuan thought, considering his unique ability which could accurately be called causality, allowing him to obtain information about spirit plants as soon as he planted the seeds, no matter how rare the Spiritual Seeds were.
Moreover, the treasures offered by the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce’s Treasure Tower were rare and of a high rank, not to belittle the rumored high-order magical artifacts.
He needn’t worry about attracting trouble after obtaining them, with the ‘Cultivators’ from Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce and high-rank magical artifacts for protection, plus the prohibitions and restrictions on the meteorite concealed him from others.
As he was pondering, the meteorite suddenly lit up with several messages about the treasures about to be auctioned.
Lu Xuan glanced at it; the Spiritual Medicine area had a rare fourth-grade spirit plant but he showed little interest, and moved over to the Magic Instrument Zone.
Beneath the light screen, an “Early Core Formation Stage” ‘Cultivator’ was introducing the magic treasures to the interested ‘Cultivators’:
"This treasure here is a fifth-grade Sword Pill, which can be directly refined into the body to enhance the Sword Dao Cultivation. It can also be co-refined with a level-five Flying Sword to make a magical treasure. The starting bid is thirty thousand ‘Low-grade Spirit Stones’, and each increment must not be less than one thousand ‘Low-grade Spirit Stones’.”
"Can’t afford it,” Lu Xuan shook his head as he looked at the sword pill, which was spinning and radiating brilliant sword light, and remarked.
He had once obtained a third-grade sword pill from the first batch of Sword Grass, later integrating it into a fourth-grade Wind-Thunder Sword. He was somewhat curious about this fifth-grade sword pill, but lost interest immediately after hearing the price.
"When the fourth and fifth-grade Sword Grass in my Spirit Field mature, I can naturally produce better treasures than this sword pill,” he thought with a hint of sourness as the sounds of bidding rose steadily around him.
After looking around, he spotted a fourth-grade Spiritual Seed about to be in the Spiritual Medicine area and controlled the meteorite to head there.
"Earthfire Heart Lotus Seed, I didn’t expect to see that here.”
After reviewing a few spiritual medicines, the ‘Cultivator’ from the Spiritual Medicine Zone brought out a fiery red Spiritual Seed, which faintly revealed swirling deep red smoke inside.
"Earthfire Heart Lotus Seeds, fourth-grade, a unique species from East Wasteland. The mature lotus seeds can cleanse evil energies and reduce the risk of mutation in ‘Cultivators’, with extremely strong effects.
The starting bid is three thousand ‘Low-grade Spirit Stones’, with each increment not less than two hundred ‘Low-grade Spirit Stones’.”
"Three thousand two hundred spirit stones,” Lu Xuan called out first upon recognizing the familiar Spiritual Seed.
"Three thousand six hundred spirit stones.”
"Four thousand spirit stones, I’m quite interested in this Earthfire Heart Lotus, so please, fellow ‘Cultivators’, give me some face,” said a Foundation Establishment Perfect ‘Cultivator’ who did not hide his appearance or aura.
The auction price quickly escalated, reaching over five thousand ‘Low-grade Spirit Stones’ within a few breaths’ time.
"Good thing I’ve already planted several Earthfire Heart Lotuses in the Cave Mansion Spirit Field before leaving the sect, and I also obtained its Condensing Seed Method,” Lu Xuan thought to himself, feeling that the current price was already too high and it wasn’t worth the effort for a spirit plant he already possessed.
At last, the Earthfire Heart Lotus Seed was secured by the Foundation Establishment Perfect ‘Cultivator’ for five thousand six hundred spirit stones.
The main items in the Spiritual Medicine section were various mature spiritual medicines; Spiritual Seeds were relatively rare, and an occasional fourth-grade spirit plant did not appeal much to Lu Xuan.
"Twenty-two thousand low-grade spirit stones.”
The speaker was none other than Lu Xuan, who had waited for the competition to die down before making his bid, and by raising the bid by two thousand spirit stones, it showed his strong determination to win this Fifth Quality sapling.
"Fellow daoist is indeed generous.”
The Core Formation cultivator, thinking he had almost secured the item, did not expect Lu Xuan to suddenly intervene.
His spiritual sense tried to probe the meteorite where Lu Xuan was, but was blocked by the prohibitions surrounding the meteorite, learning nothing.
"Fellow daoist, I’m also quite interested in this Evil Granny Tree Monster. Let us compete fairly, speaking through the spirit stones.”
"Agreed!”
The Core Formation cultivator was inwardly annoyed.
"Twenty-three thousand spirit stones.”
"Add two thousand more, twenty-five thousand.”
Lu Xuan spoke indifferently.
"Why must fellow daoist do something so disadvantageous to both of us?”
"Twenty-six thousand.”
The Core Formation cultivator hesitated for a moment, then called out again, as this price had already considerably exceeded the worth of the Fifth Rank Spiritual Seed, and any more would no longer be worth it.
"Twenty-eight thousand.”
Lu Xuan replied casually.
For him, the spiritual seed was worth even a higher price, considering a light cluster alone could be worth several times more than the plant itself.
"Fine, I give up.”
The Core Formation cultivator gave Lu Xuan a hard look, his face unable to hide his displeasure as he sped away on his meteorite.
"Twenty-eight thousand once!”
"Twenty-eight thousand twice!”
"Twenty-eight thousand three times!”
"Sold!”
"Congratulations to this fellow daoist!”
The cultivator from the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, in charge of the spiritual medicine zone, knew there would be no higher bids and quickly called out three times, completing the process.
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face.
He had successfully acquired the Fifth Grade Evil Strange Spirit Plant, the Evil Granny Tree Monster.
