Chapter 255: Another Fierce General Added to the Underworld Courtyard
Chapter 255 – Another Fierce General Added to the Netherworld Courtyard
As the cultivator spoke, he took out a translucent jade box from his storage bag.
The surface of the jade box was labeled with talismans, and inside it held a short section of jade bamboo root section.
The body of the jade bamboo was like glass, and the roots were dense, squeezing the bottom of the jade box to the brim, and there were cracks of varying thicknesses and lengths on top of each of the roots.
“Fellow disciples beware, this Illusory Sound Bamboo root section is a bit noisy.”
The cultivator warned and opened the jade box.
The moment he opened it, the fissure on the root node seemed to enlarge violently, and then, a cacophony of strange noises came from Lu Xuan’s ears, as if there were thousands of demonic beasts roaring in unison in his ears, giving him a sense of dizziness.
With a thought, his gurgling spiritual energy stroked through his ear orifices and left a layer of spiritual energy film at the ear holes, isolating that noisy and strange sound.
“It’s really noisy, no wonder it grows so many cracks.”
He sighed and scrutinized the glazed jade bamboo root section in the cultivator’s hand.
Disliking it as much as he did, he still wanted to take possession of this type of rare and uncommon spirit plant.
He was just hesitant about what to exchange for.
There were not many treasures that he could use to exchange, two fourth-grade Cloud Mountain Jade talismans, five pieces of fourth-grade Spirit Ore Red Dipper Jade, third-grade Explosive Inflammation Beads, a number of Incinerating Yuan Dan, three clusters of hundred-year Ice Spirit, as well as three personally cultivated Sword Raising Gourds.
The rest of the third-grade magic weapons on his body, the fourth-grade Tsunami Sword Talisman and the Great Sun Sword Talisman, he kept them to be useful.
Thinking about it, the only thing suitable for exchanging with cultivators was the fourth-grade Red Gang Jade Spirit Mine and the third-grade Sword Nurturing Gourd.
“The Illusory Sound Bamboo is a fourth-grade spiritual plant, rumored to be able to simulate human speech, animal speech, and even all kinds of strange and bizarre sounds in the world, and is the preferred material for refining bamboo flutes with powerful sonic attacks, as well as for refining other special magical artifacts.”
After the cultivator’s introduction, the thirty or so Foundation Establishment cultivators underneath fell into silence.
The limitations of the magic weapons that could be refined by the Phantom Sound Bamboo were larger and more eccentric, if it was a mature jade bamboo, one could consider it, but just a root section, then there wasn’t much to think about.
A fourth-grade spiritual plant, the cultivation cycle would take several years, and it was not known if it was possible to cultivate this type of rare spiritual plant successfully, so most of the cultivators on the scene were out of the idea of exchanging it.
After half a moment, when the cultivators on the stage were about to get impatient and were about to leave the stage, only then did a pre-foundation cultivator make a bid.
“Senior brother, I have a third-grade artifact in my hand, the Cold Jiao Gun, refined from the skeleton of a third-grade aquatic jiao dragon, how about exchanging it for the Illusory Sound Bamboo Root Sections in your hand?”
A ten foot long spear appeared in his hand, its body snow white and filled with coldness.
A hint of interest appeared on the cultivator’s face on the stage, the third-grade magic weapon Cold Jiao Gun, although its value was slightly inferior to the fourth-grade Phantom Sound Bamboo Root Sections, but it was extremely suitable for him at the moment.
“This senior brother, I have a fourth-grade Red Gang Jade Spirit Mine in my hand, how about exchanging it with your Phantom Sound Bamboo Root Sections?”
When he was about to agree, suddenly, a clear voice came from a remote corner of the stage.
Looking at the voice, he saw a handsome cultivator with clear eyes looking at him, holding an uneven piece of reddish red ore, which had a chalcedony-like substance slowly flowing inside.
“Fourth-grade Red Gang Jade?”
The cultivator exclaimed in shock, spirit ores were generally worth more than spirit species of the same grade, and the Red Gang Jade was capable of refining flying swords and other magical weapons, and compared to the Illusory Bamboo Root Sections, it was at a significant premium.
“Senior brother are you sure you want to exchange with me?”
The cultivator asked Lu Xuan with some disbelief.
“With pleasure.”
Lu Xuan smiled back.
The small premium was nothing to him, as long as he cultivated this Illusory Sound Bamboo to a good quality, he would be able to make up for it, and with the ability to keep track of the state of the spirit plant at all times, it would not be difficult to do that.
What’s more, after cultivating the mature, there is still a light group reward, plus the light group opened by the fourth grade spirit plant, it must be a big profit.
The cultivator with the third-grade artifact Cold Jiao Gun saw Lu Xuan’s hand, and with self-awareness, he sat down resentfully.
The Red Gang Jade in Lu Xuan’s hand floated in midair and flew in front of the cultivator.
The Phantom Sound Bamboo root section also fell back into his hands, and was tightly closed by him in a jade box to prevent the strange sound from leaking out.
After exchanging the Phantom Sound Bamboo root section, it was soon Lu Xuan’s turn to go on stage. With a firm gait, he arrived on the stage.
“Hello senior brothers and sisters, the treasure I brought to exchange this time is a special talisman.
The talisman is called the Cloud Mountain Jade Talisman, grade four, refined from Cloud Mountain Jade Essence, and can be used directly as a protective talisman to ward off evil and avoid misfortune, or you can draw runes on it and use it to kill evil spirits.”
“It is mainly used to exchange for spirit seeds of the corresponding grade, or spirit beast fetus eggs or young beasts, and can also be exchanged for the same grade of foreign fire want.”
He said slowly.
The appearance of the Cloud Mountain Jade Talisman caused a slight agitation among the cultivators at the scene.
Magic weapons that could act on evil spirits were extremely rare, and this Cloud Mountain Jade Talisman itself had the function of driving away evil spirits and avoiding disasters, so it had a miraculous effect when it was directly carried on the body, plus it could draw runes to kill evil spirits, which was considered quite good amongst similar treasures.
“Master Lu, how about I use a fourth-grade magic weapon to exchange with you?”
Under the field, a mid Foundation Establishment cultivator shouted at him.
“I’m sorry, senior brother, I only need spirit seeds, spirit beast fetal eggs and the like.”
Lu Xuan firmly shook his head, a fourth-grade magic weapon was naturally not weaker in value than a Cloud Mountain Jade Talisman of the same grade, but if it could be exchanged for a fourth-grade Spirit Seed, it would be a world of difference in value for Lu Xuan.
After he refused, a few more people spoke out, wanting to use magic weapons or pill talismans to exchange with him, and ended up with the same result.
For most cultivators, the most common things on their bodies were magic weapons, pills, talismans, spiritual medicines and minerals, and very few people carried spiritual plants with them.
After getting the spirit seed, either directly planted, or quickly out of the spirit seed to avoid the vitality of the spirit seed to pass away, coupled with Lu Xuan heart only want to exchange the spirit plant varieties outside of the Si Nong Hall jade book, so for a long time no one to meet his requirements.
Lu Xuan had no choice but to step down from the stage with the Cloud Mountain Jade Talisman.
“Senior Brother Lu, I have a rather evil spirit seed in my hand, the variety grade is unknown, I wonder if Senior Brother is interested?”
As soon as he sat down, a short and fat old man came over with a kind smile on his face.
“Oh? Can senior brother take it out and let me see it?”
Hearing about the unknown variety of Evil Spirit Seed, Lu Xuan was instantly intensely interested.
The short and fat old man looked around and laid down a film of spiritual energy to isolate other prying spiritual senses and lines of sight.
“That Spirit Seed is a bit special, it’s not convenient for other fellow disciples to see it, please forgive me, Senior Brother.”
Seeing that Lu Xuan did not have any comments, he took out an object from his storage bag.
A hollowed out blood sphere, the surface of the sphere looked like it was woven from countless slender blood vessels, inside it seemed to be trapped in an infinite sea of blood, and there was a blood-colored flower that was rooted in the sea of blood, its petals blossomed layer by layer, and then quickly withered, transforming into countless blood dots that fell into the sea of blood.
Has been week after week, repeating the process of blooming and withering and blooming again.
“This Blood Orb Spirit Seed is a trophy I seized after finishing off an evil cultivator, neither the variety nor the grade is clear, I can only roughly tell that it is a Spirit Seed.
And it’s somewhat evil, taking it out and holding it in your hand for a long time, you can’t help but have a bloodthirsty impulse.”
The short and fat old man said with a serious expression.
Lu Xuan was calm on the surface, but his heart was ecstatic.
The Spirit Seed Evilness wasn’t considered scary to him, and he couldn’t wait for it to happen.
There were already several types of Netherworld Spirit Plants in the small courtyard of Sword Gate Town, quite a few of the Blood Orb Spirit Seed type.
He looked at the blood-colored flowers in the skeleton blood sphere and felt a slight agitation in the blood in his body, as if he wanted to merge into the spirit seed.
A cool breath came from the Immaculate Jade on his chest, calming him down.
“It looks like another fierce general will be added to the netherworld courtyard of Sword Gate Town.”
He secretly sighed.
