You Cultivate, I Farm - Chapter 203 (Patreon)

Chapter 203: A Luminous Cluster Indicates a Good Spirit Plant

"Five-grade spirit species?"

Lu Xuan exclaimed softly upon hearing this.

A five-grade spirit plant corresponds to the realm of Nascent Soul, and even within the Sky Sword Sect, he had never come across such a grade of spirit plant.

Up to now, the highest-grade spirit plant he cultivated was of the fourth grade, namely the Mysterious Insect Vine and the Hundred-Eyed Ghostwood.

Among them, the Mysterious Insect Vine's spirit species was obtained by exchanging a large amount of spirit stones in the Thousand Dragon Lake at the Farmer's Hall.

As for the Hundred-Eyed Ghostwood, it was an unknown and peculiar spirit species acquired during a small gathering within the sect, using the exquisite Ling Tea. Only after planting it did he learn about its grade and characteristics.

Both were not obtained easily, and he paid a considerable price for them.

Therefore, upon hearing the words of the old man from the Wan Bao Tower, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Although it has a bit of an evil nature, it is indeed a five-grade spirit species."

The old man confirmed once again when he saw Lu Xuan's disbelief.

"Evil nature in spirit plants? Is there such a saying?"

Lu Xuan asked curiously. He had already planted many spirit species of the evil type, with grades not lower than the third, so his acceptance of such plants was relatively high.

Regardless of their characteristics, any spirit plant that could emit a white light cluster was considered a good spirit plant.

"The Holy Infant Fruit plant is extremely rare in the cultivation world. Its presence is sporadic, appearing only once every few years. Wan Bao Tower has gathered various information on treasures over the years, leading to some understanding of it."

"This time, a mid-level Foundation Establishment cultivator came to participate in the Wan Bao Tower's high-level organized treasure exchange. He unexpectedly obtained the spirit species of the Holy Infant Fruit plant with the intention of selling it."

"It is said that cultivators who plant the Holy Infant Fruit often find it difficult to preserve their lives. They either die tragically or disappear. Added to the inherently peculiar nature of the Holy Infant Fruit, many plant cultivators avoid it like a snake, fearing it will bring calamity upon themselves."

The rosy-faced old man didn't hide anything from Lu Xuan. After all, it involved the good reputation accumulated by Wan Bao Tower over hundreds of years. It wouldn't be wise to mislead customers.

Moreover, Lu Xuan, at a young age, had already reached the mid-level of Foundation Establishment, and as a disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, if any major loss occurred due to incorrect information, it would be difficult for him to end well.

"I see."

Lu Xuan nodded thoughtfully. He wasn't entirely convinced, as in his understanding, even for evil-type spirit plants, the extent of their harm to cultivators was limited.

The Hundred-Eyed Ghostwood, a fourth-grade plant, might cause mental confusion after prolonged eye contact, but with a little attention, this situation could be avoided.

Furthermore, he could monitor the real-time status of the spirit plants he personally cultivated. If he detected any harmful elements, he could eliminate them in the early stages.

"I am somewhat interested in the treasure exchange conference organized by your tower. Please help me with an introduction, friend."

Lu Xuan said in a low voice.

"The organizer is one of the high-level members of Wan Bao Tower, with a mid-level Foundation Establishment cultivation. The conference will be held in one of his caves."

"How far is the cave from Sword Gate Town?"

Upon hearing that the treasure exchange conference was not held within Sword Gate Town, Lu Xuan became a bit cautious.

"It's not very far from Sword Gate Town, about six or seven hundred miles."

Lu Xuan nodded upon hearing this. This distance was within his acceptable range and was in the power radius of the Sky Sword Sect. Many fellow disciples should be participating.

If any accidents occurred, he could use his inner disciple identity plate to seek help from nearby disciples or even the sect in time.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, his own strength had greatly improved. He possessed many third-grade treasures and martial techniques, which were considered top-notch among peers, especially in terms of defensive and escape-related treasures and techniques.

Finally, with Wan Bao Tower's reputation throughout the cultivation world, the safety of the conference should be guaranteed.

With this in mind, Lu Xuan no longer hesitated.

"Please inform me of the detailed time, location, and the method of participation in the treasure exchange conference, friend."

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's request, the old man's face lit up with a warm smile.

He took out a golden-lettered invitation from his storage bag and handed it to Lu Xuan.

"This is the invitation for the Treasure Exchange Conference. It is inscribed with corresponding runes. When the conference is about to begin, within a certain range, the runes will light up, guiding cultivators to the conference location."

"At that time, there will be cultivators to confirm and guide friends into the conference."

"You can also tell me in advance what you want to offer and what treasures you want to exchange. Be prepared."

The old man explained in detail. Introducing a young Foundation Establishment cultivator with an extraordinary background and talent to the conference was indeed a significant contribution.

"I want to offer a third-grade spirit plant, the Illusory Smoke Fruit, and the Dragonvine, both of excellent quality. In addition, there is a third-grade Purification Talisman."

Lu Xuan took out the Illusory Smoke Fruit and Dragonvine from his storage bag.

The pale-colored spiritual fruit emitted a misty smoke, creating illusions, making it dizzyingly enchanting.

A thick and long blood-red vine, winding and twisting like a hidden snake, contained flowing blood-red liquid, adding a touch of allure.

"Excellent-quality Illusory Smoke Fruit and Dragonvine. Such quality is quite rare among the same-grade spirit plants. It's truly commendable for a major disciple to cultivate such plants."

The rosy-faced old man exclaimed as he swept his eyes over the Illusory Smoke Fruit and Dragonvine.

"Third-grade talisman, Purification Talisman. It can detect evil spirits in a certain area. Even if facing tricky evil spirits, the Purification Talisman can still purify to a certain extent."

"Although it may not have much offensive power, when dealing with those unstoppable evil spirits, it is a great weapon."

After appraising them, the old man's spiritual energy surged, and a black-and-white paper bird flew out. Unfolding in the low air, it became a piece of white paper with plenty of ink, recording the information left by Lu Xuan. With a swift sound, it disappeared from their sight.

"Friend, I have some more spirit plants in my possession. I have second-grade Copper Bone Bamboo, Flowing Light Wood, and numerous Firefly Grass. Please evaluate their value and exchange them for spirit stones."

Lu Xuan turned to the old man.

The second-grade Copper Bone Bamboo was an excellent material for refining flying swords. However, with the second-grade Crimson Flame Sword that Lu Xuan had refined from the Sword Sheath, the Thunder Sword Pill in his dantian, and a total of twelve Sword Grass plants obtained in two batches, he was not in urgent need of refining flying

 swords.

As for the second-grade Flowing Light Wood, it could be used to make talisman paper. Although Lu Xuan had only a superficial understanding of talisman crafting, he had the idea of exchanging it for spirit stones for his daily needs.

As for the Firefly Grass, although it had no grade, quantity mattered. Accumulated over time, it could still be exchanged for a substantial amount of spirit stones.

"No problem, please here, friend."

The old man immediately agreed.

The quality of Copper Bone Bamboo and Flowing Light Wood was the lowest, so the price needed to be raised significantly. Coupled with numerous Firefly Grass, it totaled over 1,500 spirit stones, greatly enriching Lu Xuan's wealth.

Lu Xuan went to the blue stone square and quickly bought some meat of mythical beasts that Little Three liked, as well as three second-hand flying swords, preparing for the upcoming treasure exchange conference.
