Chapter 13 - Uncle Lu, do you want the Spirit Stone?

  The newly ripened Eclipse Moon Fruits are twice as many as the first batch, with eight pieces.

  All eight Eclipse Moon Fruits are of good quality. Lu Xuan carefully puts them into a specific container and picks up the eight white light balls that appear one by one with great expectation.

  "Harvest one Eclipse Moon Fruit and get the first-grade magic weapon Silver Blade (fragment)." *5

  "Harvest one Eclipse Moon Fruit and get the first-grade talisman Sword Qi Talisman."

  "Harvest one Eclipse Moon Fruit and get the first-grade elixir Pei Yuan Dan."

  "Harvest one Eclipse Moon Fruit and get the first-grade talisman Explosion Flame Talisman."

  The eight light balls are rewards, five of which are the first-grade magic weapon Silver Blade fragments, two of which are two first-grade talismans, and one of which is a first-grade elixir.

  "Peking Yuan Dan, a first-grade elixir, can quickly replenish spiritual power after taking it."

  Lu Xuan carefully put away the first-grade Pei Yuan Dan.

  He had heard of this kind of elixir, but it was the first time he had it. It is very useful for low-level and mid-level cultivators who practice Qi, and it is worth a lot of spiritual stones.

  "There are more and more fragments of this cracked silver blade, eight of them already."

  Lu Xuan looked at the eight thin silver fragments flying around him, feeling somewhat helpless.

  Suddenly, his mind moved, and the eight fragments instantly closed together, the edges tightly fitting together, forming a strange thing.

  "Why does it feel like a silver sword blade, but with a lot of gaps."

  The more Lu Xuan looked at it, the more he felt that this thing had the prototype of a sword blade.

  "If it is a sword blade, does it mean that when it is combined, it can be used as a separate magic weapon, confusing the opponent during the battle, and suddenly split into many thin pieces, unexpectedly." The more

  he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high, and he was looking forward to the moment when all the fragments were successfully collected.

  There were still thirty Eclipse Moon Fruits left. According to the probability of fragments appearing and the size of the gaps in the broken sword blade, it should not be a big problem.

  But when he thought of the experience of drawing cards in his previous life, he could not be optimistic again.

  "Uncle Lu, do you want the spirit stone?"

  Just as Lu Xuan was worried, he heard the familiar mischievous voice of Zhang Xiuyuan outside the yard.

  Lu Xuan quickly opened the gate.

  "What's up, you little guy, you still have spirit stones for me?"

  "I don't have spirit stones for you, but I have an opportunity to help you earn spirit stones." The

  chubby Zhang Xiuyuan laughed, with a cunning look in his eyes that didn't match his age.

  "Oh, come and see?"

  Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Xiuyuan who was holding the straw puppet tightly, and felt a little curious.

  "Didn't you help my family solve the insect problem a few days ago? Just today, I heard Cai Bin say that his family also had that kind of strange insect, so I told him that you have great skills, and he hurried back to tell his parents, and asked me to take you to his house to help."

  "His father is so worried about this problem. As long as you, little uncle Lu, do like last time, you can earn a lot of spirit stones!"

  "Cai Bin?"

  In his memory, he was a child like a skinny monkey, who often played with Zhang Xiuyuan. His home was two or three miles away from his yard.

  Lu Xuan had met his father Cai Hai, a casual cultivator at the third level of Qi training. They just knew each other, but didn't have much contact.

  "Should I go and have a look?"

  He hesitated, wondering whether he should earn this spiritual stone.

  Risk? The main thing is to deal with the black bud worm, which can be easily solved with the increasingly skilled Gengjin Sword Art. There is also a very low possibility of conflict. However, with his third-level Qi training, plus the Gengjin Sword Art, various talismans, and the fragments of the silver blade magic weapon, he can basically deal with various unexpected situations.

  Profit? Qin Ming, who is at the fourth level of Qi training, charges seven spiritual stones for clearing the black bud worm larvae. Although I only show the second-level Qi training, it is not too much to charge five spiritual stones, right?

  The most important thing is that I am too poor now!

  There is a huge demand for spiritual stones.

  The area of ​​the spiritual field is too small. After planting these spiritual plants, there is almost no space. Lu Xuan really wants to have a larger spiritual field.

  He also wants to buy a storage bag. As the number of treasures in his hands increases, it is impossible to carry it with him every time he goes out.

  Purchasing unknown spiritual seeds also requires a large amount of spiritual stones.

  Thinking of this, Lu Xuan no longer hesitated, and nodded gently in Zhang Xiuyuan's expectant eyes.

  "Lead the way."

  "Okay!"

  ...

  Cai's courtyard.

  Cai Hai's wife Li was scolding her son.

  "What are you thinking? You actually asked a casual cultivator in his teens to solve the pests at home! Do you think it's a child playing house?!"

  Cai Bin, who was only six or seven years old, was scolded by his mother, and his face turned red. He mustered up the courage to reply:

  "But Xiuyuan said that his uncle Lu is very powerful, with superb swordsmanship, and killed all the monster insects in one go!"

  "Do you believe everything he says? You don't even need to use your pig brain to think about it. How powerful can a casual cultivator of the second level of Qi training be?!"

  Li turned around and said to her husband Cai Hai who was looking down at the ground next to her:

  "Boss, I think it's better to call my younger brother over. He has some connections and knows a mid-level Qi training cultivator who can solve the pests. He must be more reliable than the casual cultivator of the second level of Qi training mentioned by the little bastard."   

  "Hey, that so-called brother-in-law who asked for ten spirit stones?"

  The skinny Cai Hai sneered.

  "You've come to your brother-in-law to kill someone you know. How about you pay for the ten spirit stones?"

  Li's lips stammered a few times: "I'm just worried about the spirit plants at home?"

  "Ah..."

  Cai Hai sighed.

  "At this point, we can only try that young casual cultivator."

  "I just went out to ask. Zhang Hong's family had an insect infestation before. I heard that it was solved by a teenager. I think it must be the person Cai Bin mentioned."

  Cai Hai squatted down and looked at the spirit plants tightly wrapped by black thin lines. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

  Other cultivators who can solve the insect infestation all ask for a high price. For him now, it is undoubtedly a big burden.

  He can only put his hope on Lu Xuan, who is at the second level of Qi training.

  At this time, there was a knock at the gate of the courtyard.

  Although Lu Xuan heard some disputes outside, he thought that since he was here, he would make money if he didn't make money, so he asked Zhang Xiuyuan to knock heavily on the gate.

  The gate opened.

  Cai Hai forced a smile on his skinny face and came out to greet him.

  "Daoyou Lu, thank you for your hard work. I heard that you have a unique skill in dealing with pests. I will trouble you to help me look after the spiritual plants at home later."

  "I can't say that I have a unique skill, but I have made great progress in a certain technique recently, and it just happens to restrain the black budworm larvae."

  Lu Xuan explained and continued.

  "I will do my best to help Daoyou Cai deal with the pests later, but I have one thing to say in advance. Lu's price is five spiritual stones, no bargaining."

  "The fourth-level Qi training only needs seven spiritual stones, why do you, a second-level Qi training, want five spiritual stones?"

  Li interrupted.

  "It's also about dealing with pests, why don't you go and ask the cultivator at the middle level of Qi training?" Lu Xuan responded coldly.

  Li naturally wouldn't do that. After a pause, he said.

  "Five spiritual stones are not impossible, but what if the pests are not dealt with?"

  "Get back to the house!"

  Cai Hai shouted at Li in a low voice.

  "Shrew, sorry to make you laugh."

  He turned around and smiled bitterly.

  "Whether you can get rid of the pests, I will give you five spirit stones. I just hope you can do your best. After all, you are both spirit plant masters, and you know that spirit plants are everything to us."

  "Of course."

  Lu Xuan said solemnly.

  He didn't care about what Li, the bad guy, said. As long as he could get the spirit stones, it would be fine.

  He came to the invaded spirit plants, and with a calm mind, a golden sword energy as thin as a hair emerged nimbly, rushing towards the black budworm larvae with unparalleled sword intent.

  After a few breaths, all the black budworm larvae were cut off by the golden sword energy, and fell to the ground one by one.

  "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."

  He stood up and said to Cai Hai, who was nervous.

  Behind his back, Zhang Xiuyuan secretly raised an eyebrow at his friend.

  "Look at how powerful my Uncle Lu is, right?"

  "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu!"

  Cai Hai showed a look of relief on his face.

  Not far away, the window of the house suddenly fell down, and faint sobbing could be heard.

  Lu Xuan collected the remuneration paid by Cai Hai and walked out with Zhang Xiuyuan.

  He weighed the spirit stone in his hand, feeling the heaviness it brought, and suddenly asked.

  "Xiaoyuan? How about we cooperate, you go find the cultivators who are suffering from insect infestation nearby, and I will come forward to solve the problem. For each time I take action, I will give you thirty broken spirits. How about it?"

  "Uncle Lu, you helped my family so much last time, I will just help you find them directly, no need for broken spirits."

  Zhang Xiuyuan said innocently.

  "No, I can't let you work in vain, so it's decided!"
