You Cultivate, I Farm

“Certainly,”

the bald monk immediately agreed upon hearing Lu Xuan’s inquiry.

The Cultivation Technique he practiced required dense and pure evil energy; naturally, he recognized the extraordinariness of the Sha Yuan Fruit at a glance. If he could consume this Spirit Fruit, it would have numerous benefits for him.

“Hold on a moment,”

As he was about to hand over the Blood Spring Clam Mother to Lu Xuan, the stern-looking young man on the opposite side spoke up to stop him.

“Fellow Ren, although I am willing to exchange treasures with you, the values of these two items do not seem to be equivalent, do they?”

“Both items are of Fifth Rank, but the Sha Yuan Fruit was cultivated by me after spending a lot of time and effort, and it takes effect immediately upon consumption.”

“Whereas your Blood Spring Clam Mother is still in its juvenile stage, it will require a significant amount of time, energy, and resources to be nurtured to maturity.”

“During its nurturing period, its usefulness to Cultivators is extremely limited,”

“Both the Blood Spring Clam Mother and the Fourth Grade Rune Lock Chain that binds it will be yours, and I’ll add an additional ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones,”

the bald monk said, his voice raspy.

Due to the Blood Spring Clam Mother’s low Attack power and it being at the juvenile stage, it was restrained and bound by that Fourth Grade Rune Chain Magical Artifact; losing it was not something to lament over.

As for the ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, he admitted that there was some truth to what Lu Xuan had said. Driven by the pressing desire to obtain the Sha Yuan Fruit, he directly offered a price that Lu Xuan could not refuse.

“Good, Fellow Ren is truly straightforward!”

Lu Xuan’s eyes squinted as he smiled.

The reasoning he had given would indeed make sense to other Cultivators, but not to him.

Even a juvenile stage Blood Spring Clam Mother, as long as it could continuously spray blood, could nourish certain Weird Spiritual Plants in his Cave Abode.

Not to mention the rewards of the Light Cluster that could be harvested once it was nurtured to maturity.

A Fifth-grade Evil Object, the rewards were probably much more substantial than those of common Five-Quality Spirit Plants.

The two exchanged items, and Lu Xuan scanned the Blood Spring Clam Mother with his Spiritual Sense, quite satisfied as he put it into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.

Having acquired a coveted juvenile stage Evil Creature, he continued to stroll around the Ghost Market.

Because the Ghost Market was located on the sixth layer of the Abyss Star Cave, it housed numerous High-Order Cultivators, with the lowest among them having at least Foundation Establishment Cultivation, and even those with profound auras could likely be Primordial Infant True Monarchs.

Suddenly, Lu Xuan stopped in his tracks and examined a stall in front of him attentively.

The items displayed on the stall were very distinctive, comprising various damaged Magical Instruments, Array Plates, and Charms.

What attracted Lu Xuan was a massive flag, teeming with many cracks, and the surface of the flag was crowded with countless shades of Yin Souls.

“Fellow Daoist, what is the origin of this flag Magical Artifact?”

Lu Xuan asked the stall owner.

The stall owner was a skinny old man wrapped in Beast’s Skin. Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s question, a withered smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

“This is a Thousand Soul Banner, once refined into a Magic Treasure by an Evil Cultivator. After its owner died unexpectedly, it changed hands several times before ending up with me,”

“However, Fellow Daoist, as you can see, this flag is significantly damaged, its potency scarcely one-tenth of its original, leaving only the countless Yin Souls refined within the flag.”

“Given the substantial damage to the Magical Artifact’s Spiritual Nature, these Yin Souls, although still of a certain Rank, have also decreased considerably in strength,”

the old man said with utmost sincerity.

“Then, is it possible to restore it to its complete state?”

Lu Xuan asked curiously.

“It’s possible, but the difficulty is quite high, requiring the assistance of a master Refining Instrument expert to have any hope,”

“Although, the challenge of restoring it properly is estimated to be not much less than creating a new Thousand Soul Banner from scratch,”

the old man, seeing that Lu Xuan was also at the Nascent Soul Stage, knew he could not hide the truth and spoke candidly.

“I am somewhat interested in this damaged Thousand Soul Banner; Fellow Daoist, please quote a price.”

Lu Xuan spoke indifferently, his interest lay not in the material or power of the damaged Thousand Soul Banner, but in the countless Yin Souls and Resentments within it.

Finally, after some haggling, he acquired the damaged Thousand Soul Banner Magic Artifact for the price of thirteen thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

There were even more exotic treasures in the Ghost Market than Lu Xuan had imagined. After continuing to stroll for a while, he bought several Evil Path Magical Instruments from various stalls, all of which were fourth rank and could be used to cultivate the Weird Spiritual Plants in his cave abode.

As he was almost finished exploring the entire Ghost Market, Lu Xuan suddenly smelled an extremely enticing fragrance that carried a wisp of vigorous vitality within it.

“The scent of Spiritual Seeds…”

Lu Xuan muttered to himself, following the fragrance to a rather large stall.

The closer he got to the stall, the more intense the fragrance became, as if it were seeping into his flesh and blood and even into his Sea of Consciousness.

In the end, Lu Xuan’s gaze was locked on a strange-looking branch.

The branch was flesh-colored, shaped like an arm, and the rich fragrance it emitted attracted many cultivators to stop in front of the stall.

But upon closer inspection, one could detect a faint touch of Buddha’s nature in the branch, giving off an aura that seemed to keep people at a great distance.

“Interesting…”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

“Fellow cultivator, is this branch a Spiritual Seed? Could you inform me of its species and origin?”

Lu Xuan asked aloud.

The stall owner’s figure and appearance were hidden within thick black fog, making it impossible to discern their cultivation level.

“Sixth Grade Spirit Seed, the exact species is also unclear to me, it was obtained by chance from a Secret Land,” came the odd voice from within the black fog in response to Lu Xuan’s inquiry.

“May I have the honor to hold it for a closer look? I assure you, I won’t damage the Spiritual Seed in the slightest.”

Lu Xuan asked earnestly.

“You may.”

After receiving the consent of the enigmatic stall owner, Lu Xuan squatted down, picking up the odd branch that was as thick as a wrist.

A slimy sensation came from the part where the branch touched his skin, as if no different from real flesh and blood, with the dense fragrance enveloping Lu Xuan as if it wanted to merge with him.

With a thought, a thin layer of Underworld Mud Flesh appeared on his palm, into which he planted the branch.

After refining the Gluttonous Insect Pouch into a Magic Treasure, it became even more convenient and speedy for him to retrieve treasures from inside, and he could control which part of his body they came out from.

Thus, he could complete the planting process without anyone noticing, thereby learning detailed information about the Spiritual Seeds.

The thin Underworld Mud Flesh vanished in an instant, as if it had never been there.

Lu Xuan’s spirit concentrated on the strange branch in his hand, and instantly he knew its specific information.

[Fragrant Flesh Branch, Sixth-grade Spiritual Plant, it is said that a Buddha turned into a demon, and from his flesh and blood, a Weird Spiritual Seed could be condensed. The Spirit Plant requires flesh and blood for nourishment during growth. The higher the rank of the flesh and blood, the more beneficial it is for the growth of the Spirit Plant.]

[After the Spirit Plant matures, consuming the fruit flesh that it bears can extend one’s life and strengthen the Flesh Body. However, at the same time, it leaves a trace of Evil Buddha’s breath hidden within the body, which blends with the flesh and blood and is extremely difficult to detect.]

[The more fruit flesh consumed, the more intense the breath becomes. At a certain stage, it might even attract an incarnation of the Evil Buddha, who would devour the cultivator whole to strengthen itself.]

[Fragrant Evil Buddha flesh, have you tasted it?]

…

“Sixth Grade Fragrant Flesh Branch, the Spiritual Seed is actually condensed from the flesh and blood of an Evil Buddha.”

“Another special method of Condensing Seed has been revealed to me,” Lu Xuan exclaimed silently.

“It is clear from the information that planting this Spiritual Seed is not without risks, but as long as I don’t consume it, the impact on me is negligible.”

“I’ll wait until it matures to collect the Light Cluster reward, then sell it as soon as possible.”

He thought to himself quietly.
