Chapter 17 Cooperation
Chapter 17 Cooperation
“What opens up inside the white light cluster after each spirit plant matures is different.”
After the experience of harvesting two different Spirit Plants, Lu Xuan gradually discovered some of the patterns.
When the Spirit Glow Grass matured, there were cultivation levels ranging from several months, low-grade spells, and first-grade talismans inside the light cluster, while for the Eclipse Fruit, what opened out were mainly spell artifact remnants, pills, talismans, and Dan Formulas with a relatively low probability.
“Perhaps in the future, I can adjust the types of spiritual plants according to my needs.”
However, one of the most important issues that needed to be resolved right now was to change as early as possible to a spiritual field that was larger in size, richer in spiritual qi, and had a more complex environment that could be used for the growth of various types of spiritual plants.
Secondly, there is an urgent need for a storage bag, after all, one’s fortune is getting richer and richer, and there are more and more talismans and pills on one’s body, so one can’t carry them in one’s arms every time one travels.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan looked at the twenty-eight Eclipse Fruits piled up in the house and decided to sell them for spirit stones.
He packed them in a cloth bag, and without stopping on the road, rushed directly to his destination, the Hundred Herb Hall.
Inside the room with a strong medicinal fragrance, Steward He had sharp eyes and saw Lu Xuan and the bulging cloth bag he was carrying.
“Lu kid, haven’t seen you for a while, what spiritual plants have matured again?”
“There are two Eclipse Trees entering the maturity stage, and I picked some fruits to visit your old man.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“Visiting my old man is fake, visiting the spirit stones in the Hundred Herb Hall is real, right?”
The thin old man said with a smirk.
“Take out your treasure and show it to the old man.”
Lu Xuan placed the cloth bag on the wooden cabinet.
“Twenty-eight Eclipse Fruits, one of which is of superior quality, and the rest are of good quality.”
“Almost all of them are good quality? You kid got the hang of it?”
Steward He said in surprise, in the Spirit Glow Grass that Lu Xuan had brought over before, although there were good as well as superior quality plants, there were quite a few ordinary grade ones, but this time, they were all of good quality or above, how could he not be surprised?
“Indeed all of them are above good quality.”
One by one, he examined each Eclipse Fruit, judging how good its quality was by the size, roundness, and other aspects of the fruit.
“When a scholar is separated for three days, he should be impressed. ……”
The thin old man looked at Lu Xuan and sighed with emotion.
He still remembered that when this teenager entered the Hundred Herb Hall at the very beginning, he pulled out a few ordinary and unusual Spirit Glow Grasses and said that he wanted to sell them to the Hundred Herb Hall.
The Hundred Herb Hall has its own stable purchase channel, generally does not accept such a small scattered cultivator’s spiritual plants, but seeing the teenager’s resolute and stubborn face at that time, the old man was moved with compassion, and agreed to the teenager’s request to sell.
Now, the young man has become a spiritual plant master who can plant high-quality spirit medicine at any time.
The skinny old man had a lot of feelings for a moment, but the young man’s next sentence brought him back to reality.
“Steward He, what are you staring at? It’s not like you’re thinking of how to take advantage of me, is it?”
“You brat!”
Steward He cursed with a laugh.
“A good quality Eclipse Fruit is ten crushed Spirits per Spirit Stone, and that top quality one adds another twenty crushed Spirits.”
“Fine.”
Lu Xuan had already made a comparison with the other apothecary stalls and knew that this was a fairly fair price, agreeing with alacrity.
The price of the Eclipse Fruit was quite a bit lower than the Spirit Glow Grass, but a single Eclipse Tree could produce more than twenty fruits, so the value was still far higher than the Spirit Glow Grass if you did the math.
Steward He handed Lu Xuan a total of thirty-two Lower Grade Spirit Stones and asked curiously. “Lu kid, you honestly said, hasn’t your planting level improved a lot? So many good quality Spirit Fruits is not something that can be done by luck.”
“It has indeed improved.”
“However, this is also the consequence of a large number of sacrifices.”
“I’m just using the time that other cultivators spend cultivating and exploring the secret realm to grow spirit plants.”
“In order to be able to grow higher quality spirit plants, I’ve completely given up the naive idea of becoming a powerful cultivator, and now, if I do, I just want to grow spirit plants properly and live the mundane life of a spirit planter peacefully.”
Lu Xuan’s eyes emptied, trying to maintain his ordinary Spirit Plant Master persona.
“It’s good to have such an idea, at least it’s relatively safe, not having to fight with people over a sliver of chance, maybe living longer than them.”
“Moreover, if you maintain this kind of progress, you can also obtain a very high status with your identity as a Spirit Plant Master.”
The thin old man empathized and comforted Lu Xuan.
He paused and continued.
“As I told you earlier, if you keep having this level of planting skills, I’ll send you a chance.”
“As you know, there is an alchemist in the Hundred Herb Hall, and the level of alchemy is one of the top existences in the entire Lin Yang Marketplace, with many alchemy medicine children under his command.”
“Therefore, there is a great demand for all kinds of elixir materials, and there are also a few not-so-small spiritual fields that employ spiritual planters specializing in planting relevant elixirs.”
“Although my status is not high, I can still be considered to have a voice in the Hundred Herb Hall, and can recommend you to cooperate with the Hundred Herb Hall.”
“How do I cooperate?” Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“Generally there are two types, the first one, directly hiring spiritual planters to plant spiritual medicines for the Hundred Herb Hall, and the ownership of the planted spiritual medicines belongs to the Hundred Herb Hall, giving the spiritual planters a certain amount of honorarium.”
“The better the quality of the planted spirit medicine, the more rewards will be given.”
“This mode of cooperation can provide you with a more stable planting environment, allowing you to focus on cultivation without worrying about anything else.”
“The second one is much simpler, we will sell the spirit seeds at a low price to the spiritual planters who want to cooperate, and at the same time, we will agree that when the spirit plant matures, the Hundred Herb Hall has the right to prioritize the acquisition, and the risks and benefits will be borne by the spiritual planter alone.”
“Of course, this priority will not be abused, if the price is too different from other acquirers, the spiritual planter can make his own choice.”
Lu Xuan nodded, there were advantages and disadvantages to both types of cooperation.
The first one was more secure, both the safety of oneself and the Spiritual Plants of the Spiritual Fields were guaranteed, it was just that it was relatively less free.
The second was more risky, and the benefits generated could be greater, if he was really an ordinary Spirit Plant Master who was content with mediocrity, of course, the first was more secure.
However, Lu Xuan has always disliked being bound, coupled with the white light of the spiritual field, it is especially important for him to have free space.
“Steward He, I’m a person who’s used to being lazy and not used to being disciplined, so if we really want to cooperate, then we’ll go with the second one.”
Lu Xuan happened to be itching for someone to provide him with Spirit Seeds.
“Good, then I’ll go and react with the top, and after it’s finalized, I’ll inform you when you come over.”
“Good, then thank you, Steward He.”
Lu Xuan arched his hand towards the thin old man and said gratefully.
The old man’s kindness towards him was something he could clearly feel and had always kept deep inside his heart.
“In that case, the first order of business has to be a bigger and better Spirit Field.”
This idea in his heart became even more clear and urgent.
