Chapter 502 – Sarcophagus Grieving Infant
Chapter 502 – Sarcophagus Grieving Infant
“Coming to the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Fair this time is indeed a worthwhile trip, I was able to find two rare treasures at a low price on the first day.”
“A piece of Scourge level evil spirit flesh and blood, whether it’s used to raise a Flesh Spirit God or transformed into a Phantom Mud Flesh, it’s quite good.”
“An unknown spirit seed shaped like five viscera, exchanged for only one Xuan Yin Dan plus a thousand spirit stones, a big profit.”
Although the species, grade, and cultivation method of that Spirit Seed were all unknown, with Lu Xuan’s special ability, he could learn about spirit plants at any time.
If he didn’t still want to stroll under the Duo Bao floor, he would have already planted it at the first opportunity to get specific information about the spirit seed.
Lu Xuan was in a good mood as he leisurely wandered among the stalls, looking for unknown spiritual seeds or materials suitable for the growth of spiritual plants.
After walking for a few moments, he was attracted by a sarcophagus on one of the stalls.
The sarcophagus was covered with mottled traces of age, grayish-black in color, with green-faced fangs and evil ghosts engraved on all four sides, and through the lid of the sarcophagus, one could see a greenish-black resentful baby sealed inside the sarcophagus.
The baby’s head and limbs were engraved with a dense and obscure runes of bronze nails deep, unable to move, filled with sinister gas, there are constantly baby shadow floating out of its body, crawling along the inner wall of the coffin.
Sensing Lu Xuan’s seeping spiritual sense, the green and black resentful baby violently opened its eyes, a pair of empty pupils looked at the direction where Lu Xuan was.
“Look at me again, look at me again and I’ll eat you.”
Lu Xuan thought in his mind and asked the stall owner:
“Fellow Daoist, what is the origin of this sarcophagus? Does the grievous baby inside have any origin?”
“Acquired in a mysterious secret realm, this grievous infant inside is extremely rich in grievances, its mind can easily be affected by it, and the sealing spells inside are slightly loosened, resulting in the breeding of many infant grievous souls.”
The stall owner was a female cultivator with high raised cheekbones, her expression was stern and her voice cold.
“I have a few interests in this sarcophagus, I wonder how many spirit stones are needed?”
Lu Xuan asked casually, the Sacred Infant Fruit in the Netherworld Courtyard needed to be raised with the grievous souls of babies who had died in vain, the previous Wooden Infant had already been drained by him almost to the point of exhaustion, and the grievous infants in the sarcophagus in front of him were just right to be used as a substitute.
“Four thousand eight hundred spirit stones.”
“This is too expensive, the most valuable ones inside the sarcophagus, the long bronze nails, are still unknown to have a few efficacies, and the sarcophagus material is also unknown.”
“The spiteful babies inside may have a not insignificant use for evil cultivators, but for me I have to spend extra energy to purify them, how about this, how about letting me have four thousand spirit stones?”
Lu Xuan followed his usual practice and started with a vicious cut.
The two of them bargained several times, and it was only then that he was able to feel out the female cultivator’s bottom line, and finally negotiated a price of four thousand two hundred lower grade spirit stones.
“Fellow Daoist, here is the number of spirit stones, please also take a look.”
Lu Xuan took out the spirit stones and handed them to the female cultivator.
“Wait!”
Just as the two were about to close the deal, a sorrowful voice rang out.
Lu Xuan looked at the voice and saw a dry, thin old man with a pale face and a gloomy aura walking over.
“Old Ghost Xuan Yin!”
The female cultivator let out a soft cry, her tone somewhat fearful of the dry and thin old man.
“Fellow Daoist, this sarcophagus has a destiny with me, why don’t you give me face and let me have it?”
The dry and thin old man’s eyes narrowed as he looked towards Lu Xuan, the skin where his sight fell felt a chilling aura and involuntarily gave birth to dense chicken skin.
“I’m sorry, I’ve already bought this sarcophagus, it’s better for you to look for other treasures separately.”
Lu Xuan said coldly.
“Really? The sarcophagus is in this stall, that still means it doesn’t belong to you, Daoist, it’s perfectly fair to compete.”
The dry and thin old man said with a grim smile.
“We’ve already negotiated the price, do you Taoist friends want to take it across the board?” Lu Xuan’s face gradually turned gloomy.
“What, does Your Excellency have an opinion?”
“The JieDan real people in the Multi Treasure Building and the others won’t let go of this kind of forceful buying and selling behavior from you, Daoist.”
Lu Xuan took a deep look at the old man, imprinting his appearance in his mind.
“Naturally, I won’t violate the rules of the Multi Treasure Building, but going out of this building is not necessarily the same.”
“There’s still no problem trying to keep up with two cultivators whose cultivation levels are quite a bit lower than mine.”
The old man swept a glance at Lu Xuan and the female cultivator with a few threats in his tone.
A trace of helplessness flashed in the female cultivator’s eyes as she glanced at Lu Xuan.
“Fellow Daoist, I’m really sorry, this old ghost is really too big, for the sake of my own safety, I still decided to sell this sarcophagus to him.”
“As for fellow Daoist, how about I compensate you another two hundred spirit stones?”
“This Xuan Yin old ghost comes from the Extreme Yin Sect, only a hair’s breadth away from conjugation, acting viciously and venomously, loves to refine cultivators’ souls into artifacts for his use, and I don’t know how many cultivators have already died in his hands.”
Just when Lu Xuan wanted to continue to fight for the sarcophagus, an urgent and slight voice came into his sea of consciousness, it was the female cultivator who secretly transmitted her voice over.
“Then it can only be decided by you, Fellow Daoist, as for the spirit stones, that’s better.”
The soon-to-be cooked duck flew away, and a nameless fire rose in Lu Xuan’s heart as he transmitted his voice to the female cultivator.
A cold smile surfaced on the dry and thin old man’s face as he took over the sarcophagus and looked at the resentful baby inside, extremely fond of it in his heart.
“Many thanks to you for letting me have the treasure, when the treasure meeting is over, if I bump into you outside, I will be sure to thank you properly.”
Before leaving, he purposely came to Lu Xuan, and there was another deep meaning in his tone.
“Good, I would welcome it.”
Lu Xuan coldly returned.
A layer of misty spiritual light appeared in his eyes, sweeping over the dry and thin old man’s entire body.
He didn’t know whether the old man was overconfident or not, but he didn’t have any cover on his body and directly appeared in the building with his real face.
“Xiao Teng, memorize this person’s scent, when the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting ends, I want you to help me find him.”
Lu Xuan said towards the Demon Ghost Vine that had shrunk in size and was hiding in his sleeve.
The Demonic Ghost Vine was extremely sensitive to all types of scents, so when he went out then, he could go directly to this dry and thin old man.
In addition, there was also the Void Nightmare Eye that constantly wandered outside of the Duo Bao Building, which could also detect and track the old man.
Lu Xuan had been practicing for many years, and for the first time, he had been forcefully intercepted by someone who had taken a fancy to a treasure, and although he had always been cautious, it was difficult to swallow this breath.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
Since this dry and skinny old man liked to refine grudging souls, there must be quite a few corresponding magic weapons on his body, so he could obtain them in passing at that time, and it was just the right time to save a large amount of Spirit Stones.
As for the old man foundation consummation realm, he did not put more on the heart, active sneak attack coupled with the body of many fifth-grade magic weapon treasure, Lu Xuan consciously be able to take nine.
“Since you want to meet me outside the building so badly, then I’ll fulfill this small request of meeting you for the first and last time.”
“I hope you can gain some more during this time, lest you disappoint me then.”
He made a scathing note of the dry and thin old man in his small book, and continued to loiter, his mind of picking up more faded for a few moments as he returned directly to his house.
