Chapter 453 – Seeds before the Mother
Chapter 453 – Pre-Mother Seed
Jianmen Town.
Lu Xuan looked up at the Wanbao Lou plaque and stepped
into the hall.
At the moment, his face was cloaked in a layer of light gray face as thin as cicada wings, transforming into a middle-aged cultivator with an ordinary appearance.
The face was none other than the fourth-grade artifact obtained from the Ghost Face Stone Mushroom’s light mass, the Thousand Devouring Guile Face, which could change a cultivator’s face and aura.
“Fellow Daoist, this way please.”
Just as he entered the hall, a kindly short and fat old man, the owner of the Sword Gate Town’s Wanbao Building Sub-Floor, sensed the surging spiritual energy within Lu Xuan’s body and took the initiative to welcome him over.
Lu Xuan followed behind the old man to the third floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Building.
“I wonder what the old man can do to help fellow Daoist.”
After the beautiful maidservant brought up the Spirit Fruit and Spirit Tea, the short and fat old man asked Lu Xuan with a smile.
“I have quite a few pills in my hand that I want to offer, I don’t know if Wan Bao Lou accepts them.”
Lu Xuan said with a hoarse voice.
Since both the Peiyuan Dan and the Yunling Dan alchemy levels had reached the Grandmaster realm, Lu Xuan, in order to not draw too much attention to himself, had only taken out less than 30% of them when he was in the Dan Palace earlier, and had decided to sneak out the rest.
“Oh? Is it possible to show it to the old immortal?”
Lu Xuan nodded his head, reaching out and flicking his hand, the last ten bottles of pills appeared in front of the short and fat old man.
The number of pills was somewhat unexpected by the old man, he couldn’t help but be stunned as he removed two bottles and scrutinized them.
“First grade Peiyuan Dan, second grade Yunling Dan, both extremely good quality.”
Lu Xuan had purposely picked out the pills of good quality when he was refining the pills, so the ones placed in front of the old man were the ones of the most superior quality.
After the short and fat old man appraised all the pills, he offered a price slightly higher than the Dan Palace, and naturally, Lu Xuan didn’t have any problem with it.
In the end, the pills were sold for a total of over eight thousand spirit stones.
With the money and goods paid for, the short and fat old man personally sent Lu Xuan out the door of the Ten Thousand Treasures Building.
“If you, Daoist friend, have similar just-quality pills, you are welcome to come to the Ten Thousand Treasures Building to sell or exchange them.”
He reluctantly said to Lu Xuan.
There was such an alchemist in front of him with notable skills, so naturally, he had to flatter him.
“Good, I’ll prioritize Wan Bao Lou if there are any more pills.”
Lu Xuan said blandly.
He hadn’t expected the alchemy level of the Patriarch realm to be so lucrative, and the two pills, minus the cost of the elixir, totaled to bring him a large few thousand Spirit Stones.
It was enough to buy a few Fourth Grade Spirit Seeds.
“It’s a pity that the elixir grades are still a bit lower, it’s more time consuming if you refine low grade elixirs, somewhat delaying the planting.”
“If there are enough high grade elixir experience packs opened, then it would be completely possible to realize spirit stone freedom, and even elevate alchemy above cultivation.”
He secretly lamented.
The profit margins for pills were enormous, but unfortunately, he only had a high level of proficiency in two low-grade Dan Formulas, and since the level of alchemy came entirely from the Light Cluster Reward, cultivation was still the number one priority.
He found a remote corner, and his face’s Thousand Devouring Creepy Face underwent a subtle change under the priming of spiritual power, instantly becoming a simple-looking youth.
Coming into the new netherworld courtyard.
Lu Xuan walked around the Fourth Grade Thousand Illusory Cloud Smoke Formation, took away the array disk array flag, and then took out the Illusory Five Elements Formation Flag Array Disk and arranged it around the small courtyard.
Faint five elemental spiritual energy flowed, and countless five elemental spiritual beasts’ silhouettes flickered and disappeared into the formation.
“The fourth grade formation is updated and iterated to a fifth grade formation, the protective power of the formation, the lethality has qualitatively improved, coupled with the Void Nightmare Eye that comes over at any time, the safety of the many netherworld spirit plants in the small courtyard has improved a lot.” Lu Xuan passed through the large formation and entered the small courtyard.
A ghastly wind hit his face, and his breath instantly became cold.
He felt a strange sensation coming from under his feet, and when he looked down, a huge blood-red palm that had drilled out of the spiritual soil was wrapping around his calf, drawing on it crazily, causing the blood qi in his body to surge.
Perhaps it was due to starvation for a long time, the Blood Spirit Palm Ginseng’s huge palm looked a bit dried out.
“Poor waif, it’s all skinny and out of shape.”
Lu Xuan hurriedly took out three bottles of Jiao Long Essence Blood from his storage bag and poured as much as he could on the blood red palm that was growing in size.
The blood palm’s finger-like branches were instantly energized, constantly twisting and changing as it greedily drew on the Jiao Dragon’s Essence Blood.
Lu Xuan arrived in front of another blood-sucking blood sin flower.
The Blood Sinful Flower sensed the bloody aura in the small courtyard, and the countless entwined slender veins on the skeletonized blood sphere slowly wriggled and grew faster and faster, as if it would shoot out at any time, enveloping the entire small courtyard.
Lu Xuan took out five bottles of Jiao Long Essence Blood and sprinkled them on the slender veins.
Spiritual Sense passed through the layers of blood vessels, and one could see that there was a boundless sea of blood within the blood sphere.
Inside the sea of blood, a blood-colored flower stood proudly, blossoming and withering in an instant, using the sea of blood as its base, as if it would break through the countless veins at any time and show its demonic evilness to the world to its heart’s content.
“The fifth grade blood sinful flower has entered its maturity stage, it seems that we have to make a trip to the Thousand Dragon Lake to give the augur pups a checkup.”
“I also don’t know if I’ll have the chance to give that old dragon turtle a checkup and inspection.”
Lu Xuan felt his mind expanding a bit and hurriedly took a deep breath to adjust, shaking out this unrealistic thought from his mind.
He took out the demonic beast meat that he had searched for at various stall stores from his storage bag again and buried it around the roots of the Different Life Peach.
The peach tree had already produced small peach spirit fruits that were milky and fragrant, like a new life that had just been birthed, filled with a tantalizing fragrance.
The Filthy Insect Grass can no longer be seen in its specific form, forming a collection of a bunch of filthy things, growing like a fish in the small courtyard of the netherworld.
Eighteen strains of mutated Thousand Gnarled Hands also took root and sprouted, like eighteen slender arms hooked and entangled together, and there was no horror of what was seen in the secret realm at the beginning.
When sucking blood and flesh, the eighteen arms seemed to share the same mind, evenly dividing the blood and flesh and devouring it to their heart’s content.
After he finished feeding the Thousand Gnarled Hands, he came in front of the Sacred Infant Fruit mother plant buried in the flesh of the ghostly mud.
Due to the previous mature daughter plant not being fed to the mother in time, in instinctive demand, on the dry gray-black body of the Holy Infant Fruit mother plant, two gray-black flesh tumors contracted and swelled, and two tiny gray-black baby embryos could be seen inside.
“Not bad, giving birth to two new Holy Infant Fruit sub-strain spirit seeds.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but applaud his decision earlier.
As long as the Sacred Infant Fruit mother plant was not satisfied, it would then proceed to give birth to a new daughter strain spirit seed so that it could wait for the daughter strain to mature and then go harvest it.
Unexpectedly, it was ruthlessly harvested by Lu Xuan in turn.
The matured Holy Infant Fruit sub-strain had remained in the Taolu Sac, and the mother plant was not satisfied, and proceeded to spawn two new sub-strain Spirit Seeds.
Lu Xuan carefully cut off the two fleshy tumors, and in a split second, it seemed that he saw two black and gray shadows flashing past with a sharp whistle.
The embryo-like spirit seeds inside the flesh tumors slowly revealed themselves.
Lu Xuan looked around the small courtyard, the spirit field was limited in size, so he directly planted it near the Holy Infant Fruit mother plant.
“This is a bit cruel.”
“The mother plant quietly waits for the daughter plant to grow, and after it matures, there is nothing it can do but watch the daughter plant being harvested by others.”
“Hmm, the plot is a bit familiar ……”
