Chapter 204 - Seed

  Lu Xuan's figure floated in front of a huge stone mountain like floating light.

  He looked down at the invitation card with many runes drawn on it in his hand, and saw that all the runes were lit up, and the brightness was the highest in the center, near the stone mountain.

  There was also an arrow pointing to the stone mountain, indicating that this was the final venue of the treasure exchange meeting.

  The surface of the stone mountain was desolate, and when the spiritual consciousness explored it, it could be found that there was another mystery inside.

  Lu Xuan looked around and walked slowly towards the stone mountain.

  At this moment, he was quite different from usual. He wore a bronze mask bought from the stalls of casual cultivators, which could disguise his face and isolate a certain degree of spiritual consciousness from prying.

  In front of a vertical stone wall of the stone mountain, there was a tall stone door. In front of the stone door, there were two Qi-cultivating perfect cultivators standing by, smiling and welcoming the cultivators who participated in the treasure exchange enthusiastically.

  Lu Xuan secretly observed and came in front of the two people. After confirming the authenticity of the invitation card and Lu Xuan's cultivation, they respectfully led him into the stone door.

  After a while, he came to the bottom of the stone mountain.

  There is a spacious hall inside, which is hidden deep in the mountain and is equipped with a powerful formation.

  At this time, there are already more than a hundred cultivators inside, and Lu Xuan took a rough look.

  Among the many cultivators, most of them are at the high level of Qi training or the perfect level of Qi training. There are more than 30 people in the early stage of foundation building, and about 10 people in the middle stage of foundation building. Among these ten people, two have unfathomable spiritual power and may have the late stage of foundation building.

  Of course, it is not ruled out that there are cultivators who deliberately hide their cultivation. For example, Lu Xuan has a third-grade hidden spirit cloak that can hide his body and spiritual power.

  However, because he has a plan to exchange for a fifth-grade holy infant fruit spirit seed, he did not hide his cultivation.

  After all, if a cultivator who is openly in the Qi training realm exchanges for a fifth-grade spirit seed, it is likely to cause trouble and add to the disaster.

  Lu Xuan found a stone chair to sit on, closed his eyes and rest, waiting for the meeting to start.

  On the way, he also used the updated inner sect disciple identity badge to sense his surroundings, and roughly sensed that there were five other monks with familiar auras among the monks present, which instantly dispelled Lu Xuan's remaining vigilance. .

  "The updated identity badge is indeed extraordinary. It can detect the traces of fellow disciples nearby. Although the specific location cannot be determined, it is already very good to have so many fellow disciples accompany us."

  "If there is really an accident, then raise your arms and team up with five fellow disciples. Then see who will have unfavorable ideas for us."

  Lu Xuan once again experienced the power of the sect and sighed in his heart.

  After about half an hour, all the monks were present.

  A fat monk walked onto the stage in the hall.

  He coughed lightly, and the crowd in the audience quickly quieted down.

  "Welcome all the Taoist friends who have come from afar to participate in this treasure exchange meeting I organized."

  "I will briefly introduce the rules to you Taoist friends to avoid unnecessary conflicts."

  "Each cultivator can go on stage by himself, show the treasure in his hand, explain the grade and type of the treasure you need, and exchange with many Taoist friends in the audience."

  "After a round of display, it will enter the free exchange stage. You can communicate privately, and you can also bring in third-party cultivators to exchange with each other to obtain the desired treasure."

  "Of course, the most important point is that you cannot force buying or selling. Both parties must be willing."

  "If you force others to exchange treasures, it means you are not taking our Wanbao Building's face into consideration, so don't blame us for being rude."

  "There is a powerful formation in the hall, and my foundation-building friends are helping. Please consider your own abilities before making trouble."

  After the fat cultivator introduced the rules, he flew down the stone platform and handed it to the cultivators in the audience.

  Soon someone rushed to the stone platform and opened the prelude to the treasure exchange meeting.

  Lu Xuan sat in the corner, silently watching the stage and the audience.

  As more and more monks came on stage, various treasures appeared, including some third- and fourth-grade treasures, which made Lu Xuan salivate.

  The treasures were mainly magic tools, elixirs, and talismans, which were the largest in number. In addition, there were also many spiritual plants, monsters, and materials, as well as many strange and bizarre things.   

  As for the spiritual seeds, seedlings of spiritual plants, and monster eggs and young beasts that Lu Xuan was most concerned about, although they occasionally appeared, he was not satisfied.

  The third-grade spiritual seeds appeared twice, but they were just ordinary seeds, which were more common in the cultivation world. Lu Xuan remembered that there were records in the jade book in the Sinong Hall, and they could be exchanged for some spiritual stones.

  Monster eggs and young beasts were even more difficult to obtain. Only one Qi-cultivating perfect cultivator showed a second-grade monster baby. On the contrary, there were several complete third-grade monster bodies, which made him a little interested.

  As more and more people went on stage, soon only some foundation-building cultivators had not yet gone on stage to show.

  A skinny cultivator flew to the stage and took out a strange spiritual seed from the storage bag.

  The shape of the spiritual seed was like an embryo, and there seemed to be a baby curled up inside. The baby was gray and black, dry and thin, and stayed in the spiritual seed motionless.

  When he wanted to take a closer look, the baby in the spiritual seed changed again, and the body gradually blurred, as if the scene he had just seen was illusory.

  "The Holy Infant Fruit Spirit Seed is a fifth-grade spiritual plant. It is said that the spiritual fruit it produces is shaped like a baby and can be used as the best material for refining an external incarnation."

  "Since the spiritual seed has the lowest value among the same-grade treasures, it can be exchanged for a fourth-grade treasure. A third-grade rare treasure can also be considered."

  As soon as the skinny monk finished speaking, most of the Qi training monks who did not know the reason burst into an uproar. For them who were still in the Qi training stage, the fifth grade corresponds to the unattainable Dan formation stage. The value of this Holy Infant Fruit in their hearts has risen sharply.

  Unfortunately, at the most incompetent age, when they encounter the treasure they want most, they are powerless and can only sigh softly.

  "Daoyou, you are a little bit unkind."

  "It is true that the Holy Infant Fruit is a fifth-grade spiritual seed, but you concealed the evil and strangeness of this spiritual plant. If it is exchanged by a cultivator who does not understand the inside, I am afraid he will suffer a great loss."

  A light voice sounded from the audience.

  "Who?!"

  The skinny monk's face changed drastically, and his spiritual consciousness swept the audience frantically.

  But the person who spoke was not inferior to him in cultivation, so it would not be so easy to find it, so he had to give up.

  "I did not explain it clearly. It is said that this Holy Infant Fruit has some evil nature. Many monks who planted it ended up missing or died tragically. Of course, this is just a rumor, and it is not credible."

  The skinny monk who was exposed was a little embarrassed. He took a deep breath and tried to explain.

  He waited quietly on the stage. Among the many monks off the stage, there were not many monks who had the habit of cultivating spiritual plants. Most of them were mainly engaged in alchemy and refining.

  A few interested foundation-building monks did not have the confidence to cultivate it. In addition, there were rumors about the evil of the Holy Infant Fruit. Therefore, although there was a fifth-grade spiritual seed in front, not many monks offered a bid.

  Only three or five people bid, and the highest bid was a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, who tried to exchange it with a complete fourth-grade monster skeleton.

  The skinny monk hesitated, and at this moment, a voice came into his ears.

  "Daoyou, I have a long section of the third-grade Jiao vine, which is of good quality, and a third-grade purification talisman, which can purify the rare species of evil spirits. How about exchanging it for your Holy Infant Fruit Spirit Seed?"

  "A fifth-grade spirit seed for two third-grade treasures, I'm losing a lot."

  The skinny old man compared them and refused directly.

  "You know the value of the Holy Infant Fruit Spirit Seed, and what I can exchange for is already good."

  "How about this, I'll add a third-grade purification talisman, and if Daoyou still doesn't agree, then forget it."

  Lu Xuan smiled and transmitted the message from the sidelines.

  "Okay, deal."

  After hearing the skinny monk's reply, he showed a satisfied expression.
