Chapter 505: You Don’t Want to Be Known for Selling Fake Seeds, Do You?

After learning that this Dark Green Spirit Seed in his hand was just a waste seed, Lu Xuan planned to make a trip to the middle level area to find the stall owner who sold the fake seed and ask him to refund the compensation.

“The stall owner violated the rules of the Multi-Treasure Building, if we let a few powers of the Multi-Treasure Building intervene, it would be fine to make him double the compensation.”

Lu Xuan thought in his heart, and suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind.

“Perhaps there is a way to get more compensation in spirit stones?”

“Since that stall owner chose to sell the fake seed, he must have more than one in his hands, and the number of spirit stones he cheated is not small.

His lifeblood has already been pinched by me, so I can pull his wool in turn.”

The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that this method was extremely feasible.

The stall owner had definitely gotten a lot of ill-gotten gains from his pitfalls, and if he approached him now, the amount of spirit stones he could compensate for would be limited, but if he waited for him to earn more and more and fall deeper into the hole, he could ruthlessly knock him off his feet.

Thinking of this, a smirk surfaced at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth.

He didn’t rush to find the stall owner who sold the fake seeds for compensation, but decided to observe him properly for a few days, searching to collect evidence that the stall owner had cheated the cultivator.

In the next few days, he only took the time to look around the lower region, and after realizing that he didn’t have any unknown spirit seeds that he wanted, he immediately returned to the middle region and stayed near the stall of the kind-faced stall owner.

Every time he came over, he would activate his Thousand Devouring Guile Face as well as his Clear May Feathered Clothes magic weapon to change his appearance and scent.

After practicing the Divine Diffraction Sutra for many years and being warmed up by the treasure in his mind, the Yun Shen Post, his spiritual sense was already far stronger than that of an ordinary late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, so he was able to observe the stall owner as well as the customers without the slightest abnormality being detected.

During these few days, that stall owner had offered no less than ten Dark Green Spirit Seeds, earning more than 20,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

Lu Xuan had already secretly memorized the purchaser’s time, appearance, cultivation and other information, and when he felt the time was right, he disguised himself as the person he was when he purchased the waste seeds and came to the stall.

“Fellow Taoist, you’re here? Do you want to buy another Ink Bone Tree Spirit Seed?”

The stall owner still had an impression of Lu Xuan, and at the first sight, a warm smile immediately surfaced.

“No, there is another matter to find you, Fellow Daoist.”

Lu Xuan was irritated by the stall owner, his forehead veins couldn’t help but throb a little, but his expression maintained a hint of a smile.

“Oh? Please speak.”

The stall owner seemed to have great confidence in the fake seeds he was selling, completely ignoring the scenario that he would be discovered, and said with a relaxed expression.

Lu Xuan looked around and took two steps forward, transmitting his voice to the stall owner:
“Fellow Daoist, that Ink Bone Tree Spirit Seed you’re selling is a fake, right?”

The voice transmission was as thin as a mosquito’s nag, but it was like a thunderous explosion in the stall owner’s ears!

His expression changed drastically, and panic flashed in his eyes.

“Dao …… Dao friend this kind of joke can not be casually opened.”

He struggled to maintain his facial expression, barely squeezing out a stiff smile as he said to Lu Xuan.

“Whether it’s a joke or not, fellow Daoist you should know exactly.”

Lu Xuan said indifferently.

“Is it?”

After the initial panic, the stall owner quickly adjusted his mind and his expression became grim.

“The Spirit Seed is rich in vitality and complete in character, you only need to probe with your Spiritual Sense to know if it’s real or fake.”

“Fellow Daoist hasn’t even planted it yet, so to flatly assert that there is something wrong with my spirit seed, isn’t that slandering my innocence out of thin air?”

Thoughts flew through his mind, he had absolute confidence in the matter of using the thousand year Xuan Sheng Spirit Milk to forge the waste seed into a normal Spirit Seed, it was simply impossible to see the abnormality of the Spirit Seed from the outside.

Even if a breakage was found, it would be years after cultivating the spirit seed, and by that time, he would have long since brought a huge amount of spirit stones with him and gotten away overseas.

“If you are not confident enough in your own spiritual planting level, you can return the spirit seed to me, and I will return part of the spirit stones to you.”

Just in case, he still left Lu Xuan a way back, fearing that Lu Xuan would really see something.

“Forget about the spirit stones.”

Lu Xuan said expressionlessly. “As for what you said about not having the right to determine the authenticity of spirit seeds without planting them, I wonder if you’ve ever heard of a special grass and tree aura in the cultivation world that can catalyze spirit plants?”

“Not coincidentally, I have one of those in my hands, and I only need to use that grass and tree aura to catalyze the spirit plant to learn whether the spirit seed is true or false.”

“Do you want to go and try it out?”

Lu Xuan stood straight, but his spiritual sense locked the stall owner in case he escaped.

“No need, how about I triple refund the spirit stones to you, fellow Daoist?”

The stall owner’s expression was cloudy, and in the end, he did not have the courage to gamble on the truth of what Lu Xuan said.

Seeing that the stall owner had acquiesced, the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth rose.

“You want to get rid of me by tripling the compensation?”

“Fellow Daoist, you don’t want to be known by other cultivators as selling fake seeds, do you?”

He said in a leisurely tone.

“Then what do you want?”

“I’ll split 70% of the spirit stones you’ve earned from selling fake seeds lately.”

His expression was firm and unquestionable.

“Impossible! You’re too black!”

The stall owner’s face changed and he blurted out.

“It’s just a matter of breaking the bank.”

“I wonder if you, my friend, have ever thought that if the Multiple Treasure Building knew that you sold fake goods and cheated many cultivators who came to the Treasure Fair, how would they treat you?”

“And the cultivators who bought your Spirit Seeds, several of them have cultivation levels in the late Foundation Establishment stage as well as the Perfection realm, right? How would they deal with you, fellow Daoist, if they knew that the spirit seeds they spent a lot of money on were all fake?”

“At that time, the payment will not just be these spirit stones, if you are not careful, you will be paying with your own life.”

Lu Xuan transmitted his voice to the stall owner, casually stating the appearance, cultivation level, and trading hours of the several cultivators who had traded with the stall owner.

The stall owner’s expression was no longer as kind and enthusiastic as before, and was as gloomy as water, standing in place, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Seventy percent is just too much, I forged the spirit seed and spent a considerable amount of money, if you take seventy percent, the loss is just too great.”

He sighed, a helpless look on his face.

Lu Xuan knew that it was extremely difficult to disguise the means, and didn’t want to push the stall owner too far, lest he fish out of water, so he said:
“Sixty percent then, but you have to give me a copy of the method of forging the Spirit Seed.”

“Don’t play any mind games, since I can find out that the spirit seed is fake, I can naturally tell whether your method is effective or not.”

“Also, I know everything about the number of spirit seeds you sold, so don’t try to fake the spirit stones either.”

The stall owner took a deep breath.

“Fine, I’ll admit it.”

“In recent times, I’ve sold fifteen of them at prices ranging from over two thousand spirit stones each, earning about thirty thousand lower-grade spirit stones, going for a whole split of sixty percent from you, fellow Daoist.”

“Here are one hundred and eighty middle grade spirit stones, take a look.”

“In addition, the spirit milk in the bottle is the key to forging a fake spirit seed, putting it into it and nourishing it for a period of time will make the spirit seed contain rich vitality, no different from a normal spirit seed.”

“The spirit power inside the spirit milk has already been consumed, it won’t take long for it to return to mediocrity.”

The stall owner took out a light green vial from his storage bag and threw it to Lu Xuan.

“Well said, I swear that I won’t let a third person know about the sale of the seed by fellow Daoist.”

“You do well.”
