Chapter 5: Agitation
Chapter 5 Agitation
“The Gengjin Sword Technique, a first grade technique that uses a special method to cultivate gold-based sword qi in the orifices, and is as swift as the wind when it is activated, killing and injuring extremely strongly.”
First Grade Art Technique, I didn’t expect such a good treasure to open up in the light cluster ……
Lu Xuan’s mind had a momentary trance.
He currently mastered three arts, the Fireball Art, the Spirit Rain Art, and the Earth Drawing Art that had opened out of the white light cluster not long ago, all three of which were of an unimpressive level, strictly speaking only some crude use of spiritual energy.
As for the Gengjin Sword Technique, although it was only the lowest grade of the first grade, Lu Xuan was already satisfied.
One must know that even amongst Qi Practitioner Middle Stage or even High Stage cultivators, a first-ranked artifact was not something that everyone had as a big deal.
He stayed where he was, following the route that appeared in his mind as his spiritual energy slowly gathered.
Immediately, a light golden-colored stream about three inches long and a finger’s width flourished out from his body and swept towards the stone wall, cutting a black thorn in two.
Lu Xuan walked over and picked up the section of thorns with a smooth break, secretly shocked at the killing power of the light golden sword qi.
Although the black thorn was not a spiritual plant, it was very tough, and Lu Xuan had once experimented with the Fireball Technique and burned it for half a moment before it snapped.
Comparing the two techniques, the Gengjin Sword Technique was much cleaner and the killing power was obviously more than double.
“It’s just that I’ve just practiced it, and the sword skill took too long to make out, and its power was greatly reduced.”
“With such a powerful technique, it’s inevitable that I’ll have to cultivate it diligently in the future.”
“Of course, it would be the best if we could open up additional Gengjin Sword Technique as an experience bar.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but think as he looked at the remaining fifteen Spirit Glow Grasses.
He placed the picked Spirit Glow Grasses into the jade box with the intention of going out again.
He currently had nine mature Spirit Glow Grass plants, six of which were of ordinary quality and three of good quality.
The jade box was limited in quantity, and there was no more space to put down extra spirit plants, in order to avoid losing the spirit power of the Spirit Fluorescent Grass in the back, he had to sell these nine Spirit Fluorescent Grasses as soon as possible.
At the same time, the spirit fields were emptying out quite a bit, plus the Spirit Glow Grass in the remaining area was about to mature, Lu Xuan planned to use the exchanged spirit stones to buy some spirit seeds.
If there were enough Spirit Stones, he would see if he could find a low-grade protective formation in the bazaar.
The white mass of light that had appeared in the courtyard’s spirit field had made it much more important all of a sudden, and Lu Xuan was afraid that some cultivators or demonic beasts would sneak in, taking along and harming the spirit plants inside the field, affecting the abundance of the white mass of light.
He instructed the Grass Puppet to keep an eye on the house for a few sentences, and then left the compound with the jade box containing the Spirit Glow Grass.
As soon as he left the house, he happened to run into Zhang Hong, who had returned from the bazaar.
“Little brother Lu, where are you going?”
Zhang Hong saw Lu Xuan’s figure from afar and laughed brightly.
“Good day, big brother Zhang, I’m planning to go to the bazaar.”
Lu Xuan greeted Zhang Hong.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and he learned that Zhang Hong had just returned from the bazaar and bought several talismans of protection to prepare himself for the upcoming reclamation of the secret realm.
“Does little brother Lu really not want to go together to reclaim that new secret realm in the wilderness?”
Zhang Hong’s words changed, and he asked Lu Xuan undeterred.
“I appreciate big brother Zhang’s kindness, I don’t aspire to this, I just want to be an ordinary and peaceful Spirit Plant Master.”
Lu Xuan waved his hand and firmly refused.
“That can’t be helped, I was thinking that if I could be your companion, by virtue of knowing each other for such a long period of time, I would be able to take care of each other.”
Zhang Hong regretfully said.
“I wish that Big Brother Zhang will be able to have many strange encounters on this trip and return safely.”
Lu Xuan cupped his fists and sincerely wished.
The two of them bid farewell.
Lu Xuan walked to the bazaar and realized that there were a lot more cultivators appearing in the bazaar than usual.
Defense talismans had become a hot commodity, and healing pills were even more of a curiosity, with many cultivators snatching them up as soon as they appeared, and even though the prices were much higher than usual, they were still in a state where demand exceeded supply. “It seems that the news of the Wang Family’s upcoming reclamation of the new secret realm has already spread in the Lin Yang Marketplace.”
“With so many Qi Practicing Cultivators of the lower and middle ranks wanting to go and get a piece of the pie, I don’t know how many cultivators will gain the opportunity and how many cultivators will become stepping stones for others.”
Lu Xuan felt the restless aura in the marketplace and watched quietly without being moved.
He lingered in the bazaar for two or three moments, paying attention to every message around him, asking the scattered cultivators who set up stalls from time to time, and eventually, after turning around a few intersections, he arrived in front of a medicinal store called ‘Hundred Herb Hall’.
The owner of the medicine store was an alchemist, and the demand for all kinds of alchemy materials was relatively large, Lu Xuan’s previously planted spirit medicines were all sold to this medicine store, and the price was quite fair.
Entering the medicine store, a rich medicinal fragrance came from it, and Lu Xuan familiarly entered a wooden house.
The wooden house was stacked with all sorts of spirit medicines, large and small, and a few medicine boys were busy handling them.
“Lu kid, coming over to sell Spirit Glow Herbs again?”
A thin old man caught a glimpse of Lu Xuan, skimmed his bulging chest and greeted him.
“Yes, Steward He, some Spirit Glow Grasses are ripe, and I came over to sell them to your store.”
The thin old man was a relative of the pill store’s alchemist, he usually helped manage some chores in the pill store, Lu Xuan would have to deal with him if he wanted to sell the Spirit Glow Grass, and the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
“How many?”
“Nine plants, how many spirit stones per plant for Spirit Glow Grass now?”
Lu Xuan took out the jade box from his chest and asked.
“It’s still the same old price, three lower grade spirit stones per plant.”
“Steward He, that’s not very generous of you, is it?”
Upon hearing the skinny old man’s reply, Lu Xuan’s hand that was grasping the jade box and reaching forward retracted.
“According to my understanding, quite a few of the Spirit Glow Grasses planted by quite a few Spiritual Planters inside the Northern District have suffered from insect pests recently, and their yields are lower than usual.”
“Rumors are circulating everywhere inside the marketplace that the Wang Family in the central region is going to reclaim a new secret realm, causing the price of healing elixirs to rise tremendously.”
“Spirit Glow Grass, as the main material for refining healing pills, is still according to the previous market, that’s too much of a bully for us honest casual cultivators.”
“You ghost boy, your cultivation is not high, but your nose is very spiritual.”
Steward He cursed with a laugh and said with a straight face.
“One Spirit Glow Grass three spirit stones plus twenty broken spirits, no second price.”
Lu Xuan bowed his head and pondered for a moment, knowing that this was already quite a fair price.
“Good quality Spirit Glow Grass is also this price?”
“Oh?”
The thin old man raised his head, his eyes surprised.
“You this kid also planted out a good quality Spirit Glow Grass? Let me see.”
High-quality raw materials, when refining pills, could slightly increase the rate of pills as well as the effect of the pills, and were very popular with various alchemists.
“That’s right, it is indeed a good quality Spirit Glow Grass.”
“You are young and occupy a spiritual field with a meager amount of spiritual qi, to be able to grow a spiritual plant of this quality is not easy.”
“In this case, these three good quality Spirit Glow Grasses, I’ll purchase them at a price of three spirit stones and fifty broken spirits per plant, what do you think?”
Lu Xuan quickly nodded his head, after all, it was only slightly better than ordinary, not a top grade or even perfect grade Spirit Glow Grass, to be able to raise thirty broken Spirits per plant was already quite good.
He handed the nine Spirit Glow Grasses over to the thin old man, who examined them in detail without blowing off steam, counted out the Spirit Stones and handed them over to Lu Xuan.
Six ordinary Spirit Glow Grasses and three good Spirit Glow Grasses were exchanged for a total of twenty-nine lower-grade Spirit Stones, as well as seventy broken Spirits.
Lu Xuan carefully put it into his waistband, feeling the tinge of coldness coming from the Spirit Stones through his clothes, his heart was on fire.
