Chapter 39: This batch is of good quality
Chapter 39 – This batch of goods is of good quality
The two of them reached an agreement, Lu Xuan waited for the stall owner to make an oath and handed him eight spirit stones and fifty broken spirits to get the spirit seed with the slightest hint of smoke.
With the money and goods cleared, he was in a happy mood and made his way to the Hundred Herb Hall.
Steward He saw him from afar and jogged out.
“You brat, why did you come over today?”
“I heard that an alienated cultivator just appeared in the scattered cultivator bazaar, causing several casualties, you didn’t run into it, did you?”
He grabbed Lu Xuan and walked into the Hundred Herb Hall before relaxing a little.
“Unfortunately ran into it, but escaped in time and wasn’t affected.”
Lu Xuan said.
“I don’t know whether to say you’re lucky or not, it’s rare to come out and run into this kind of dangerous thing happening, but fortunately it didn’t hurt anywhere.”
The thin old man lamented.
“In a short period of time, the marketplace has become extremely unstable, with cultivators dying everywhere, and evil spirits appearing from time to time.”
“I see ah, you might as well become a full-time Spirit Planter in the Hall, and when you come in, you will not have to worry about similar things happening again if you are protected by high level Qi Practicing Cultivators.”
Steward He once again extended an invitation to Lu Xuan, wanting him to enter the Hundred Herb Hall and be sheltered by the high ranked cultivators in the hall.
Lu Xuan knew in his heart that he was well-intentioned and worried about his own safety to make this suggestion, but the Spiritual Fields and Spiritual Plants involved too much, and he didn’t want to be under a fence and be restricted in every way.
“Steward He, I appreciate your old man’s good intentions, it’s just that I’m a person who’s really used to being lazy and free, and can’t be subjected to all sorts of restrictions, so I’ll just stay in my own yard.”
“Anyway, I usually don’t go out basically, I just want to stay at home and plant spiritual plants properly, so I should be able to avoid most of the vicious things.”
“Good, then as you wish, this time when you came over, is there a Spirit Glow Grass entering the maturity stage?”
Seeing that Lu Xuan’s mind was made up, the thin old man stopped persuading him and changed the topic, asking him.
“That’s right, there are already thirteen Spirit Glow Grasses that have matured in the first stage, why don’t you, your old man, come and palm your eyes and see how the quality is?”
Lu Xuan said with a light smile.
“Seeing your smug look, I guess the quality is good, take it out and show it to old man.”
When Steward He saw Lu Xuan’s demeanor, his heart became a little more curious.
Lu Xuan’s mind moved, and thirteen Spirit Glow Grasses moved out of the storage bag and landed in front of Steward He.
“Top quality Spirit Glow Grass.”
“Still of superior quality.”
“Huh? This is …… perfect quality?”
The thin old man couldn’t help but raise his head and look at Lu Xuan, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.
He calmed his mind and once again focused on the Spirit Glow Grass in front of him.
“This strain is of good quality.”
“Superior quality.”
“Perfect quality again?”
The next four Perfect Quality Spirit Glow Grasses that appeared one after another caused Steward He to shift from shocked at first to numb calmness later on.
“This batch is of good quality.”
“I didn’t expect that you would be able to grow perfect quality Spirit Glow Grass, it really surprised me a bit.”
Thirteen Spirit Glow Grass plants, with four perfect quality plants in it, the thin old man couldn’t help but think back for a moment, it seemed that in the Hundred Herb Hall, those few experienced and senior Spirit Planters couldn’t ensure that kind of probability either.
What’s more, this was under the premise that the spiritual qi of the spiritual field belonging to the Hundred Herb Hall was even more dense and pure. If Lu Xuan was allowed to use the hall’s spiritual fields to plant it, wouldn’t the possibility of a perfect quality Spirit Glow Grass appearing be even greater?
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh, if he had just been worried about Lu Xuan’s safety before inviting him to become the hall’s full-time Spiritual Planter, now he was completely regretting that Hundred Herb Hall couldn’t have a Spiritual Planter of Lu Xuan’s exceptional talent.
“Luck luck luck, to be able to achieve such an accomplishment, it’s just that I’ve spent the time that others use to cultivate on cultivating spirit plants.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“Haha, giving always pays off.”
Steward He laughed brightly.
“Come, settle the accounts! The purchase price is still the same as before, three spirit stones and fifty broken spirits per plant for good quality, plus twenty broken spirits per plant for top quality, and four spirit stones per plant for perfect quality.”
“Total …… forty-eight spirit stones seventy broken spirits.”
Lu Xuan did some mental math to confirm that there was no mistake and accepted the spirit stones handed over by the thin old man.
In this way, his fortune once again broke one hundred, reaching over one hundred and twenty Spirit Stones in his hand.
Although when the Hundred Herb Hall provided Lu Xuan with the Spirit Glow Grass seeds, the price was one or two percent lower than the spirit seeds on the market, according to the agreement between the two parties, the purchase price of the mature spirit plants was still according to the normal price.
The reason why the Hundred Herb Hall had disposed of the Spirit Seeds at a low price to Lu Xuan and the other Spirit Plantsmiths was in order to obtain the priority of the Spirit Plants after they had matured.
In other words, sacrificing a portion of the benefits of the spirit seeds in exchange for a directed, stable, and better quality source of spirit medicines.
“If the Spirit Glow Grass you send behind you still has this kind of quality, then I can help you put in a good word in front of Missy, and apply for the rest of the first or even second-grade spirit seeds for you.”
Steward He looked at Lu Xuan and said solemnly.
“Second grade spirit species?”
Lu Xuan’s tone was a bit surprised, the last time he came over, the young girl cultivator in charge of the Hundred Herb Hall didn’t trust him too much due to the fact that the two sides had just established a cooperative relationship and because he didn’t have any accomplishments to show for himself, so he only provided a hundred Spirit Glow Grass Seeds as well as twenty Blood Jade Ginseng Spirit Seeds.
“The quality is definitely guaranteed, as for the rest, that’s more trouble for your old man, I’ll bring you a pack of Spirit Tea Leaves some other day.”
He gratefully said to the thin old man.
“That’s not necessary, if you grow high-quality spirit medicines for the hall, I, as a recommender, will naturally benefit a lot as well.”
Steward He said with a smile.
After Lu Xuan sold the Spirit Glow Grass, he didn’t make much of a stop and flew back home with careful vigilance along the way.
When he returned home, he closed the courtyard door and turned on the formation, and he pulled out another Evil Dispelling Talisman from his storage bag.
Under his spiritual energy, a pure white light appeared, sweeping around Lu Xuan without any movement.
Only then did Lu Xuan completely relax and put down the Cloud Treading Lynx that had been staying quietly on his shoulder.
“Thanks to you little fellow for reminding me today, well done, I’ll reward you with two more spiny dolphin jerky later.”
In the scattered cultivator bazaar, if it wasn’t for the Treading Cloud Lynx’s turquoise eye pupils discovering the anomaly beforehand, even if Lu Xuan had a magic weapon and numerous talismans in his possession, there would still be the possibility of being injured.
Thinking of this, he gently touched the two small tufts of hair on the tips of the Treading Cloud Lynx’s ears and said gently.
Treading clouds lynx turquoise pupils faintly looked at Lu Xuan, let him caress on his head.
“Ow~~ jerky jerky, my favorite jerky~”
Lu Xuan seemed to see that in its cold and lonely body, a lively and cute soul was stomping its four white cloud paws and jumping for joy.
But the moment he thought of the Treading Cloud Lynx’s rough roar, that little figure in his body immediately disappeared.
“Ow~”
Feeling the movement of the paws on his head stop, the Biyou Treading Cloud Lynx struggled to clamp down on a low growl.
