Chapter 122
"Raising a Sword Gourd, a third-grade spirit plant focused on offense and defense, is really rare," Lu Xuan exclaimed.
Spirit plants usually served as primary materials for alchemy, some could be ingested directly to enhance a cultivator's spiritual power, expel evil, or heal injuries. A few could also be used in making talismans and artifacts.
Plants like the Sword Gourd, strong in both attack and defense, were extremely scarce.
"Excuse me, Senior Brother, how many Sword Seals are needed to exchange for a Sword Gourd seed?" Lu Xuan asked an elderly farmer cultivator.
"Ninety Sword Seals," the farmer replied.
Lu Xuan nodded lightly. In the Linyang District market, there were a few third-grade seeds available at the Wan Bao Tower, none priced lower than two to three hundred spirit stones. If a Sword Gourd seed were for sale, Lu Xuan figured it would be hard to get it for less than five hundred spirit stones.
That was the benefit of backing a major sectthe availability of rare and high-grade spirit plants as long as you had enough Sword Seals.
Lu Xuan handed ninety Sword Seals to the farmer cultivator.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
Shortly after, the cultivator emerged from the inner hall and handed Lu Xuan a Sword Gourd seed.
The seed was light blue, elongated, about an inch and a half long, resembling a miniature sword at first glance.
"Thank you, Senior Brother," Lu Xuan carefully took the seed and placed it into his storage pouch.
"By the way, Senior Brother, I heard before entering the sect about a highly mysterious and powerful spirit plant called Sword Grass. Why isn't it listed in these jade scrolls?" Lu Xuan inquired.
"Sword Grass... that's not something you can obtain just with Sword Seals; it also requires a certain status. Only inner disciples have the qualifications to cultivate it," the farmer cultivator explained.
"With your abilities, you'll surely catch the attention of the senior members within the sect and be entrusted with important tasks. When that happens, Junior Brother, don't forget about me," the farmer jested with admiration.
"Senior Brother is too kind; I just got lucky," Lu Xuan modestly replied.
"Junior Brother, I'll report about your successful cultivation of Sword Grass. However, the sect master is currently in seclusion, so it might take some days before there's any news. Could you tell me where your residence is, so I can inform you once I have news?" The farmer cultivator offered enthusiastically.
Lu Xuan, being able to cultivate rare spirit plants like Sword Grass, saw a bright future ahead. He shared his residence's location with the farmer before leaving the Agricultural Hall with the Sword Gourd seed.
Outside, he chose a large-sized spirit crane, letting it carry him to his residence.
The spirit crane was incredibly fast and landed above his residence in no time.
Lu Xuan jumped down, paid the spirit crane with a spirit stone, opened the formation, and entered the courtyard.
"I'm back."
The Cloud-Stepping Lynx pretended as if it just heard those words, elegantly sauntering out of the house, its emerald eyes indifferent as it gazed at Lu Xuan.
"Ah"
A rough low growl tinged with seven parts playfulness signaled its understanding.
Lu Xuan tugged at the gray-white fur on the lynx's ear tips and took out a Wind Falcon egg from his storage pouch, carefully placing it on the ground.
"This is our new companion at home. Remember, don't bully the newcomer," Lu Xuan instructed the lynx, anticipating the lynx's predatory nature from his experiences watching wild cats catching birds in his previous life.
