I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 677: Chapter 675: Stillborn of the Green Mountain Scale

“Congratulations, Friend Lu, for obtaining the high-grade Spirit Seed you desired,”

As the two had exchanged, Lu Xuan was immersed in joy when the gentle voice of Hermit Yu Lin reached his ears.

He turned his head and nodded to Hermit Yu Lin.

“The cost was slightly high, but as a Spirit Plant Master, having the opportunity to acquire such a rare Spirit Seed is naturally something I wouldn’t miss,”

Lu Xuan transmitted his voice to Hermit Yu Lin.

“I didn’t expect Friend Lu to be so incredibly reserved, actually offering a Low Rank Divine Ability in exchange for the Spirit Seed, Huang Mou admires this,”

The lean old cultivator also transmitted his voice, speaking to Lu Xuan.

“I apologize for causing you to miss out on this Spirit Seed, Huang Mou. I was too eager for this Colorful Corpse Skin Spirit Seed, even willing to take out my family heirloom,”

Lu Xuan showed a hint of pain on his face.

“No worries, Friend Lu, you’ve earned it with your own ability and there’s nothing to apologize for. But indeed, I’ve seen your determination when it comes to Spirit Plants, just as the rumors suggested, you cherish Spirit Plants as if they are your life,”

The lean old man replied indifferently.

The other Golden Core Real People present shook their heads in secret, feeling it was a pity for Lu Xuan’s actions, using a Low Rank Divine Ability to trade for a Spirit Seed whose cultivation method was not yet known. They deemed it unwise and even equated Lu Xuan to a prodigal.

The small meeting continued, with cultivators presenting various treasures and making requests. However, reaching a mutually satisfactory exchange still posed some difficulties.

Lu Xuan felt the timing was almost right and walked into the middle of the wooden house.

Instantly, all eyes were drawn to him, curious about what treasures Lu Xuan, who had just traded away a Low Rank Divine Ability, would produce.

Suddenly, five clumps of deep yellow soil appeared, seemingly possessing a special resonance, slowly moving toward each other, quickly forming a small earth-colored puppet.

“This treasure is called Earth Spirit Doll, made from a large amount of earthen materials. It possesses rich and pure earthen Spiritual Power and has extremely strong protective capabilities. When the owner faces an attack, it will automatically transform into a giant puppet and protect them,”

Lu Xuan introduced solemnly.

“If any Fellow Daoist is interested, I am willing to trade it for a piece of Origin Magnetism Spirit Stone, even a smaller piece,”

“Or for Fifth Rank or higher Spirit Seeds, Spirit Beasts, and corresponding Spirit Plant treasures.”

He had obtained that Sixth Grade Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood Seed for too long, and even if it meant a loss now, he was willing to exchange for a piece of Origin Magnetism Spirit Stone or mineral.

Although the Earth Spirit Doll had decent protective power, with the current strength of his flesh body, what the puppet could block, he could handle himself. Additionally, having a Multi-armed Corpse Slave whose function slightly overlapped made the puppet feel somewhat redundant, hence he decided to trade it for something he could use.

“A Fifth Rank protective puppet that can transform its shape according to the owner’s thoughts is indeed not bad,”

“Unfortunately, Origin Magnetism Spirit Stone is extremely rare. Once found, it is always in the form of a Spirit Mountain Spirit Mill, making it difficult to split, and getting a small piece is really too unlikely,”

Seeing the Earth Spirit Doll attracted some interest, but none could meet Lu Xuan’s requirements.

As for Spirit Seeds, since they cannot be stored long-term, Jindan Cultivators who obtain them typically need to deal with them quickly or cultivate them personally, hence coming across high-grade Spirit Seeds is difficult at the moment.

A few people, not giving up, attempted to exchange Magical talisman for Lu Xuan’s Earth Spirit Doll. Lu Xuan, after inspection, was not quite satisfied and had to politely refuse.

After waiting for a moment, just as Lu Xuan, somewhat disappointed, was about to step back, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

“Friend Lu, I have a Spirit Beast Embryo in my possession for many years. I’ve tried everything possible but cannot bring it to birth, mostly it has already become a dead embryo,”

“It’s just that the origin of that embryo is quite extraordinary, so I hadn’t given up on it. I wonder if it could be used to trade for your Spirit Doll?”

Lu Xuan turned toward the voice and saw Wang Suihai, skilled in Beast Taming, gently nodding at him.

“Fellow Wang, what is the origin of that Spirit Beast Embryo? Could you tell me more?”

“The embryo is a Tier 6 Demon Beast, Green Mountain Scale, rumored to have a trace of the ancient exotic beast Kylin’s bloodline, though it has become extremely diluted,”

“Now, there isn’t the slightest sign of life within the embryo, and I suspect that the life inside has already perished. However, it can still be used to refine elixirs and nurture spirit beasts, so its value is still considerable,”

“Friend Lu, if you’re interested, you can come find me after the trading event is over,”

Wang Suihuai conveyed through voice transmission.

Lu Xuan nodded imperceptibly.

“A Tier 6 Spirit Beast dead embryo? If it really is dead, I might be able to exchange it for that Earth Spirit Doll; if it’s not dead, then I’ve hit the jackpot!”

The value of spirit beasts was generally higher than that of spirit plants of the same rank, and based on Lu Xuan’s previous experience with nurturing spirit beasts, the light clusters harvested were likewise richer.

With his special ability, as long as it wasn’t a stillbirth, he would know the detailed information and had a certain possibility of restoring it to normal, thus nurturing it and harvesting light clusters.

Half a time system later, the trading event ended, and Lu Xuan arrived at Wang Suihuai’s residence as agreed.

“Fellow Wang,”

“Friend Lu, you’ve come, this is the embryo of the Green Mountain Scale Spirit Beast, please have a look,”

While speaking, Wang Suihuai took out an azure-green embryo the size of a washbasin from his storage bag.

The embryo, resembling a perfectly round jade sphere, securely protected the pale green beastling inside, which seemed to fall into a deep slumber without showing any signs of vitality.

On careful observation, the beastling’s shape was odd, bearing some resemblance to the rumored Kylin, exuding a certain regal and mystical aura even before its birth.

“Indeed, I can’t feel any signs of life,”

Lu Xuan examined with his spiritual sense and said gravely.

“How long has the embryo been in this state?”

“It should be no less than twenty years. I’ve only had it for a few years, but according to the previous owner, it had been like this long before, with no signs of revival,”

“A Tier 6 Spirit Beast and one with a special bloodline, it’s a pity it wasn’t born in time,”

Lu Xuan nodded, a trace of regret in his tone.

“Indeed,”

As a Beast Taming Cultivator, Wang Suihuai felt this more deeply, looking at the lifeless Green Mountain Scale cub inside the embryo, his eyes full of regret.

“However, after all, it’s a Tier 6 Spirit Beast embryo, it can be used to refine some high-rank elixirs or nurture special spirit beasts, its value is still higher than ordinary Fifth Rank treasure items,”

“Fellow Wang, I need to inspect it further before making a decision,”

Lu Xuan suddenly spoke up.

“Friend Lu, please go ahead,”

Seeing Lu Xuan still hopeful, Wang Suihuai displayed no impatience, having been a Beast Tamer for many years, he had seen no issues with the embryo and naturally did not believe that a Spirit Plant Master like Lu Xuan could discover anything.

Lu Xuan approached the azure-green embryo, injected a slight amount of spiritual power within, and focused his mind on it, yet there was no response.

He pondered for a moment, feeling the characteristic of the jade sphere, the pale green light cluster within his Dantian spun faster, and a wisp of Qingmu Origin Energy as thin as a hair infiltrated the embryo.

“Hmm?”

His expression calm, he uttered a soft huh in his mind, as a thought flashed through when he infused the Qingmu Origin Energy and concentrated his mind!
