Chapter 356: Diamond Bodhi Seed

"Friend, do you still have two Foundation Establishment Pills?" 

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, the stout old man couldn't contain his inner joy and blurted out.

The ordinary-looking cultivator in front of him exceeded his expectations. He initially thought that obtaining two Foundation Establishment Pills was already a great surprise. However, unexpectedly, under the attraction of the fifth-grade spiritual seed, he learned that there were two more Foundation Establishment Pills!

"That's correct."

Lu Xuan nodded without changing his expression.

"These last two Foundation Establishment Pills were originally kept for myself, to be used by a close disciple to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"However, encountering that fifth-grade spiritual seed has made me change my mind temporarily. When he's close to a breakthrough, I'll find another way for him."

The stout old man quickly assessed the feasibility of this transaction.

The fifth-grade spiritual seed belonged to the realm of Jiedan. Its preciousness was self-evident. However, the spiritual seed was relatively low in value among various treasures, and that particular seed was extremely rare, with very limited applicability. Moreover, few people knew its cultivation method, so it had been left in Myriad Treasures Tower for quite some time.

Lu Xuan proposed to exchange four Soul-Inducing Lamps, a fourth-grade artifact, for two Foundation Establishment Pills. Although the value might be slightly inferior to that of the fifth-grade spiritual seed, it was easier to handle and had higher liquidity.

"Alright, then I'll agree to this."

As the branch master of Myriad Treasures Tower located near the Sky Sword Sect, although the stout old man's cultivation level was average, he obviously held a high position in Myriad Treasures Tower.

"The Celestial Azure Dan Fire and that fifth-grade spiritual seed are not here in this branch, but a powerful cultivator from Myriad Treasures Tower specializing in speed will be sent specially. They should arrive tomorrow. How do you feel about that, friend?"

"I have no objections."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly, recalling the Wanbao Ship that he had taken when he came from Linyin Fang Market to join the Sky Sword Sect.

At that time, it took about half a month to arrive at Jianmen Town with several stops along the way.

Now, to obtain those two items, it would only take a day.

The difference was that back then, he was just a casual cultivator with the idea of settling down and farming under the protection of the sect. But now, he was already a mid-level Foundation Establishment cultivator with urgently needed treasures from Myriad Treasures Tower, which naturally made a world of difference in the level of attention he received.

He keenly felt the enormous changes in his status and strength.

With a flicker of thought, Lu Xuan became even more determined in his farming endeavors.

The two exchanged smiles, each feeling they had made a great profit.

Myriad Treasures Tower obtained four rare Foundation Establishment Pills and a powerful fourth-grade artifact.

Lu Xuan obtained a fifth-grade spiritual seed and a strand of fourth-grade rare flame.

"The Foundation Establishment Pills come from the hidden essence grass essence cultivated by the Alchemy Hall. As a reward, there will be a Sword Seal. It can be considered a freebie."

"Hmm, with twelve Foundation Establishment Pills, using four leaves me with eight remaining."

"The Soul-Inducing Lamp comes from the Ghost-Faced Stone Mushroom, and I have a better one in hand. Exchanging it out can be considered clearing inventory."

"I don't even know how much profit I've made..."

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.

Exiting Myriad Treasures Tower, Lu Xuan walked along the bluestone streets of Jianmen Town.

Occasionally, he placed his palm horizontally in front of his chest, projecting the scene behind him onto his palm.

In the high sky, a grayish-white pupil emerged from a small crack, coldly staring at Lu Xuan without any emotional color.

The Void Nightmare Eye shuttled back and forth in the sky, appearing and disappearing, scouting to see if there were any cultivators following Lu Xuan.

"Myriad Treasures Tower truly lives up to its reputation as a top-notch commercial organization in the cultivation world. Their credibility is indeed excellent; there hasn't been any sign of someone tracking me."

Lu Xuan's lips curled upwards, unsure whether to feel joy or disappointment.

He concealed his aura and casually browsed various shops and stalls.

According to the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pills, in addition to several third-grade spiritual plants, many second-grade spiritual plants were needed as auxiliary medicines.

As Lu Xuan casually procured the corresponding spiritual seeds or mature spiritual plants, he made a few observations about their cultivation value. Most second-grade spiritual plants held little worth for him currently, except for the Firefly Grass. Due to the high demand for Flame Fruits and Ice Gourd Fruits, coupled with his proficiency in the method of condensation, he continued their extensive cultivation. His purchase of some spiritual seeds was merely an experimental venture to ascertain if they could yield anything akin to Foundation Establishment Pills from the luminous orbs and to evaluate their cultivation potential.

The following day swiftly arrived, and Lu Xuan promptly made his way to the Treasure Pavilion. Upon his arrival at the gate, the stout old man was already waiting there.

"Friend Lu, thank you for your return visit," the stout old man greeted.

"No trouble at all, Friend Li. You must have waited long," Lu Xuan replied.

Guided by the stout old man, Lu Xuan entered an elegantly appointed room. Surveying the surroundings with ease, he noted the intricate array formations meticulously arranged in all directions. A faint aura permeated the air, hinting at the presence of an individual with a mid to late Foundation Establishment cultivation.

"It concerns fifth-grade spiritual seeds. Even I cannot bear the responsibility of any losses. Therefore, to avoid any mishaps, various formations and restrictions are in place throughout the Treasure Pavilion. Additionally, a guest elder with mid to late Foundation Establishment is stationed to guard the area where the fifth-grade spiritual seeds are kept. I hope you understand, Friend Lu," the stout old man explained preemptively, fearing any potential misunderstanding.

Lu Xuan's slight unease dissipated upon hearing the old man's proactive explanation. With a clearer understanding of his own abilities gained from the Boundless Sea expedition, and given the proximity to the sect, he paid little heed to such precautions.

"If you have no objections, my friend, let us proceed with the exchange of our treasures," the stout old man suggested.

Presenting a transparent jade bottle containing a faint blue flame and an exquisite jade box adorned with several talismans, the stout old man offered his treasures for inspection. Lu Xuan discerned that the talismans likely served to prevent the passage of life force.

Upon opening the jade box, Lu Xuan beheld a peculiar spiritual seed. Oval-shaped and resembling a Bodhi seed, it exuded an air of impenetrable resilience. As he examined it, a serene Buddhist chant filled his ears, accompanied by the emergence of an ethereal figure resembling a wrathful deity, casting an intimidating presence over all malevolent forces.

"This is the fifth-grade spiritual seed retrieved from the main building. Although I possess only basic information about it, lacking the cultivation method, it seems to be closely related to Buddhism. You will need to explore the specifics of its cultivation on your own, my friend," the stout old man explained.

"Very well. With little hope of a breakthrough, I have ample time to delve into these matters," Lu Xuan responded with a smile, accepting the Diamond Bodhi seed.

Inspecting the Foundation Establishment Pills and Soul-Inducing Lamp presented by Lu Xuan, the stout old man nodded in approval. "If there are no issues, my friend, I shall take my leave," he concluded, accepting the treasures offered.
