Chapter 24: Failure to observe the Way of the Samsara
Chapter 24 Not Guarding the Way of the Samsara
The two entered the pharmacy.
Only then did Lu Xuan open his mouth and ask about the doubts in his heart.
“I say Steward He, you’re making me confused, what’s going on?”
“It’s mainly because I happened to run into that great lady here, so I was in a bit of a hurry.”
The thin old man nudged towards the inner room and pulled Lu Xuan to the corner.
“You know the owner behind the Hundred Herb Hall, right? One of the most famous alchemy masters in the Lin Yang Market.”
“The one just now is his granddaughter, with outstanding talent, already at the middle stage of Qi Practicing cultivation at the same age as you, extremely favored by the Master, and has the right to handle most of the affairs within the Hundred Herb Hall.”
“I see.”
Hearing Steward He explain, he nodded.
“But what about that Blood Jade Ginseng?”
“You are, after all, only a casual spiritual planter, and Miss doesn’t trust you enough to only give those average quality spirit seeds to you to help plant.”
“However, I believe that your strength will soon be no weaker than those powerful spiritual planters in the Hundred Herb Hall.”
“As for the Blood Jade Ginseng I just mentioned, I was afraid that you wouldn’t be clear about those types of spirit plants and make a wrong choice, so I took the liberty of deciding for you, so don’t mind.”
Lu Xuan hastily shook his head.
“I can’t thank you enough, how could I mind?”
He had dealt with Steward He many times and could clearly feel his goodwill towards him.
“Of those several first-grade spirit species, the Blood Jade Ginseng has relatively the lowest requirements for the spiritual field’s aura, and the cultivation conditions are simple, “When the hall recycles it, the price is quite considerable, and it’s considered to be the most cost-effective of those several species of spirit plants.”
“The only drawback is that the cultivation is relatively trivial, but I see that you’re preoccupied with growing spiritual plants and don’t put much stock in cultivation, it’s most suitable for you.”
Lu Xuan had made rapid progress in cultivating spiritual plants, plus he had also revealed to the old man that his energy was mainly focused on cultivating spiritual plants, so Steward He weighed his options and helped him choose the First Grade Blood Jade Ginseng.
Lu Xuan did not dispute the fact that the thin old man viewed himself as an ordinary second level Qi Practicing Spirit Plant Master.
“Many thanks to you, Old Steward He, I’m unable to repay you, Little Lu!!!”
He smiled and revealed a mouthful of large white teeth.
“How about these spirit plants are cheaper?”
Steward He narrowed his eyes and squeezed out a promising smile on his wrinkled face.
“That won’t do, the feelings between the two of us, is it not something that can be measured by a mere spirit stone?”
Lu Xuan righteously refused.
“I knew that you brats value spirit stones more important than your life, take them out and take a look?”
Lu Xuan took out the ripe Eclipse Fruit as well as the Spirit Glow Grass from his cloth bag.
The storage bag was hidden away and he didn’t bring it out.
“A total of fourteen Eclipse Moon Fruits, twelve of which are of good quality and two of superior quality.”
“The number of Spirit Glow Grasses is not large, only ten, but within the ten, three are of superior quality and the rest are of good quality, Steward He, calculate the price!”
“I really wasn’t wrong about you, you have a good talent in cultivating spirit plants.”
Regarding the mature spirit plants that Lu Xuan had pulled out that were at least of good quality, the thin old man no longer felt surprised and sighed, checking the quality of the spirit plants as he said.
“A good quality Eclipse Fruit is one Spirit Stone and ten Shattered Spirits a piece, add twenty Shattered Spirits for the top quality, for a total of fifteen Spirit Stones and eighty Shattered Spirits.”
“Good quality Spirit Glow Grass is three spirit stones and fifty shattered spirits per plant, add twenty shattered spirits for superior quality, totaling thirty-five spirit stones and sixty shattered spirits.”
“Two types of Spirit Plants, the final total is fifty-one Spirit Stones and forty broken Spirits.”
Steward He took out a small pile of spirit stones from his storage bag and handed it to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan received it with satisfaction, although the spirit stones earned from planting the spirit plants were far less than helping the scattered cultivators clean up the pest infestation and the entire fortune that Qin Ming had brought with him, he preferred to choose the former. For no other reason, he wanted peace of mind.
After disposing of this batch of mature spirit plants, only the last ten Spirit Glow Grasses remained in the small courtyard.
Judging from the immediate state, Lu Xuan estimated that they would all mature in the next few days, just before the handover with the new casual tenant.
“Old He, didn’t you say before that you would sell me the spirit plants at a low price after reaching a cooperation?”
He couldn’t hold back his desire for the new Spirit Seed and asked the thin old man.
“How big an area can you spare in that small courtyard of yours after planting the Spirit Glow Grass as well as the Eclipse Tree?”
“I changed to a new courtyard not long ago, and there’s a spiritual field inside that’s quite a bit larger than the previous one, capable of planting quite a few spiritual plants!”
“It’s hard to tell, you kid has saved quite a few spirit stones! No wonder every time you come to the Hundred Herb Hall a crushed spirit has to be fought over.”
Steward He only thought that Lu Xuan had saved enough Spirit Stones by saving, and didn’t think that he would rent a compound containing a Spirit Spring, flirting with him, he brought Lu Xuan into a side room.
After greeting a middle-aged cultivator inside, he said to Lu Xuan.
“The Hundred Herb Hall has its own channels for the spirit seeds, it’s going to be one or two percent cheaper than if you buy them outside.”
“For the Spirit Glow Grass Spirit Seed, it costs thirty broken Spirits a piece, and the Blood Jade Ginseng, due to it being a First Grade Spirit Plant, is priced much higher at four Spirit Stones a piece.”
Lu Xuan compared the price with the price he had paid when he had purchased the Spirit Seed earlier.
The Spirit Glow Grass Spirit Seed he bought a few months ago was forty broken Spirits a piece, and the one in the Hundred Herb Hall was thirty, which was cheaper by more than twenty percent.
As for the Blood Jade Ginseng Spirit Seed, he hadn’t bought it before, so he could only compare it to the Red Cloud Pine he had bought at that time.
The Red Cloud Pine was five spirit stones, while the Blood Jade Ginseng Spirit Seed was four spirit stones, also much cheaper.
He instantly felt that he had made a huge profit!
“Then I’ll take a hundred Spirit Glow Grass Spirit Seeds, as well as twenty Blood Jade Ginseng Spirit Seeds.”
Within the two spirit plants that had already matured, only the Spirit Glow Grass could bring him cultivation rewards, so he was prepared to plant more.
On the surface, he created the appearance of a spiritual planter who had given up cultivation and was dedicated to planting, but in actuality, he still had a strong thirst for power.
After all, in such a cultivation world where strength was honored, one’s own strength was hard enough to have more protection and freedom.
The spirit stones that had just not been warmed up were doubled and spent all at once.
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly as he held the Spirit Seeds he had obtained.
Returning to his new courtyard, Lu Xuan controlled the array disk to open the formation and went to the spirit field in the backyard.
From Steward He’s explanation, he learned that the Blood Jade Ginseng Spirit Seed was normally preserved with special means, and that it had to be planted as soon as possible after it was taken out, or else the chance of life would be rapidly lost.
Without delay, he took out a flat long jade box and removed a tiny talisman affixed to it.
Opened the jade box, twenty bright red seeds like jade came into view, each spirit seed surface rose up light red mist, with a slight cold feeling.
This is also a means to slow down the loss of vitality of the Blood Jade Ginseng Spirit Seed.
Lu Xuan hurriedly took the spirit seeds out of the jade box carefully, and ran his spirit power.
Under the pull of the Earth Drawing Technique, a tiny crack instantly opened up in the spirit field in front of him.
“Blood Jade Ginseng, a first-grade spirit plant that can be used as the main ingredient for most low-grade grade qi and blood type pills when mature.”
“After planting both the spirit seed and the spirit ginseng are restless, moving freely and slowly in the spirit soil, if they perceive the same class, they will attract each other, and after clinging together for a long time, they will plunder each other’s vitality until one side withers.”
Lu Xuan’s mind pooled down to learn the details of the Blood Jade Ginseng.
“This Blood Jade Ginseng is a bit unguarded by the ginseng path ah ……”
He couldn’t help but sigh.
