Chapter 257 - Let me take a sip of the bloody flower

  The treasure exchange session has come to an end.

  Lu Xuan stayed quietly in a remote corner, thinking about the gains and losses of this treasure exchange.

  He spent a fourth-grade red Gangyu, a fourth-grade Yunshan Jade Scroll, a third-grade sword-raising gourd, and a third-grade Explosive Flame Pearl.

  As for the harvest, there was a fourth-grade Huanyin Bamboo Root Section, an unknown blood ball spirit seed, and a wood-type concentric demon refined by a Jindan Zhenren.

  "Oh, I almost forgot, there are still 500 spirit stones."

  "The little Qi training cultivator who used to be entangled for a broken spirit, now actually doesn't care about such a huge amount of 500 spirit stones."

  Lu Xuan, who realized all this, couldn't help but sigh.

  After the white light ball appeared from the small spirit field in the market, his life in the cultivation world has changed dramatically.

  When he was a little Qi training cultivator, he could never have imagined that 500 spirit stones would be nothing to him now.

  He gathered his mind and continued to think.

  "I have quite a few duplicate treasures on hand. I have four pieces of red jade left, two of the three sword-raising gourds I picked, three hundred-year-old ice souls, and some explosive flame beads, burning essence pills, and some other odds and ends."

  "It looks like I have to find a chance to sell some of them."

  The blood ball spirit seed was not a proper spirit plant at first glance, and since it might be possible to use the wood infant to cultivate the Holy Infant Fruit, Lu Xuan decided to go to the courtyard in Jianmen Town in the near future to take a look at the underworld spirit plants that had been ignored for a long time.

  After the show, Lu Xuan called a tall spirit crane and quickly returned to his mountain.

  He couldn't wait to check out the two new spirit seeds.

  Lu Xuan came to an empty spirit field and performed the earth-drawing technique, and the structure under the spirit soil changed naturally.

  A circular hole appeared in the middle of the spirit field.

  He took out the section of the magic bamboo root with countless cracks from the storage bag and buried it in the hole.

  The noisy sound in his ears made Lu Xuan's movements seem to stop for a moment. Only when his spiritual power isolated the sound did he become smooth and natural again.

  After the spiritual soil completely covered all the root nodes, the strange sound in his ears stopped abruptly.

  Lu Xuan's mind was focused on the glazed jade bamboo under the spiritual soil, and a piece of information flashed through his mind.

  [Phantom bamboo, a fourth-grade spiritual plant, is good at simulating the sounds of all things in the world. When mature, it can stimulate various strange sounds with various effects, such as attack, bewitching, healing, etc. It is a natural material for refining bamboo flute-like instruments, and can also be used to refine other special instruments. ]

  [When a sound source stays near the fantasy bamboo for a long time, the plant can make sounds of the same quality, exactly the same. ]

  [There are people who are good at ventriloquism in the bamboo. ]

  "From now on, spiritual plant masters will not enter the fields?"

  Lu Xuan muttered.

  "Mature Magic Sound Bamboo can stimulate various types of strange sounds. Well... it can do everything, which means it is not proficient in anything."

  "However, the advantage is that the species is extremely rare, so this deal is worth it."

  His spiritual power surged, and strands of spiritual rain fell, seeping into the cracks on the root nodes of the Magic Sound Bamboo.

  Stimulated by the spiritual rain, countless cracks of varying thickness and length on the roots opened up at the same time. Lu Xuan heard a noisy and strange sound, which made him a little upset for a while.

  At this time, a thin gray vine crawled out from nowhere, and many tentacle-like vines spread out from the gray and penetrated into the spiritual soil.

  The demon ghost vine sensed the appearance of a new high-grade spiritual plant on the mountain, so it rushed over as soon as possible, leaving a mark first to see if it would be eaten in the future.

  The demon ghost vine is a fifth-grade, and it feeds on spiritual plants. The roots of the Magic Sound Bamboo feel like a natural enemy has arrived. The countless cracks on it are tightly closed, allowing the small vines to gently fiddle with it up and down, left and right.   

  "I'm sorry, I was too loud just now!"

  Lu Xuan sensed such an instant state from the roots of the Magic Sound Bamboo. The

  Demon Ghost Vine secreted a little gray mucus, which remained on the roots, and then withdrew from the spiritual soil, rubbing against Lu Xuan's feet a little embarrassedly.

  "You're playing with my spiritual plant in front of me, right?"

  The spiritual plant was played with by the evil villain who sneaked in, and the weak and helpless spiritual plant master could only watch helplessly...

  Lu Xuan dispelled this familiar picture from his mind and kicked the Demon Ghost Vine away.

  The countless cracks on the roots of the Magic Sound Bamboo sensed the demon ghost vine going away, and opened together. Suddenly, the familiar noisy and strange sound came into Lu Xuan's ears.

  "I seem to be a little used to it after listening for a long time."

  Lu Xuan resisted the urge to summon the demon ghost vine and reached out to dig in his ears.

  The spiritual power automatically blocked those noisy sounds, and he took out the evil blood ball spirit seed from the storage bag.

  The appearance of the spirit seed seemed to be woven from countless thin blood vessels. It sensed the tiny blood vessels in Lu Xuan's palm, which were slightly wriggling, as if they were about to reach into his flesh and blood.

  Inside the hollow blood ball, the spirit sense probed into it and could sense an endless sea of ​​blood. A blood-colored flower was constantly switching between blooming and withering in the midst of blood.

  The spirit power surged, and a hole slightly larger than the blood ball appeared in the blank space of the spirit field.

  He put the blood ball spirit seed into it, and with his mind concentrated, he immediately perceived its detailed state.

  [Blood evil flower, a fifth-grade spiritual plant, is an evil flower condensed from a sea of ​​blood and corpses. It uses the essence and blood of various monsters as nutrients. When mature, it is an excellent material for practicing blood-path exercises, and it is also the main material for refining some fifth-grade elixirs. ]

  [When a cultivator or monster approaches the blood evil flower, the blood in their body will be involuntarily absorbed by it. Over time, they will become weak in blood and withered. ]

  [Give me a sip! Please! Just one sip! ]

  "Fifth-grade spiritual plant!"

  "A great treasure has been opened!"

  After seeing the blood ball spiritual seed, Lu Xuan immediately realized the extraordinary nature of the spiritual seed, but before planting, everything was unknown.

  Now the spiritual seed blind box is opened, and it is actually a fifth-grade spiritual plant!

  "It's okay if you can't find unknown spiritual seeds in the sect, but once you find them, they are not ordinary spiritual plants."

  "The thorn bones, the hundred-eyed strange wood, and the blood evil flower that I got before are all like this."

  "But there is also a common point, they are all evil spiritual plants, which are rare in the famous and orthodox sects. It is understandable that they have not been discovered by other cultivators."

  Lu Xuan dug the blood evil flower spiritual seed out of the spiritual soil.

  This kind of underworld spiritual plant is naturally best planted in the small courtyard of Jianmen Town.

  After all, he is an ordinary spiritual plant master who does not fight with the world in the orthodox sect. If other fellows see him cultivating such an evil spiritual plant, it will have a bad influence.

  "There are already three fifth-grade spiritual plants, but they don't seem to be decent stuff."

  "One feeds on spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, one is used as bait by someone to catch me, and the newly acquired blood evil flower wants to suck my essence and blood, and even wants to suck my blood."

  Thinking of the three non-decent spiritual plants, the demon ghost vine, the holy infant fruit plant, and the blood evil flower, Lu Xuan looked a little helpless.
