Chapter 39 The quality of this batch of goods is not good
The two reached an agreement, and Lu Xuan and other stall owners made an oath to give him eight spirit stones and fifty broken spirits to get the spirit seed with a trace of smoke.
With his money and goods clear, he was in a happy mood and went all the way to Baicao Hall.
Guanshi He saw him from a distance and trotted out.
“You kid, why are you here today?”
“I heard that an alienated monk just appeared in the casual cultivator market, causing several casualties. Didn’t you encounter him?”
After he grabbed Lu Xuan and walked into Baicaotang, he relaxed a little.
“Unfortunately, we encountered him, but we escaped in time and were not affected.”
Lu Xuan said.
“I don’t know whether you should be lucky or not. It’s a rare occasion that something dangerous like this happens when you go out. Fortunately, you didn’t get hurt anywhere.”
The thin old man sighed.
“In a short period of time, the city has become extremely unstable. Monks are dying everywhere, and evil figures appear from time to time.”
“I think you might as well become a full-time spiritual planter in the hall. Once you come in, you will be protected by a high-level Qi practitioner, so you don’t have to worry about something like this happening again.”
Manager He once again extended an invitation to Lu Xuan, hoping that he would enter the Baicao Hall and be protected by the senior monks there.
Lu Xuan knew that he had good intentions and was worried about his own safety before making this suggestion. However, Lingtian Lingzhi involved too much, and he did not want to rely on others and be restricted everywhere.
“He Guanshi, I appreciate your kindness, but I am really used to being lazy and free. I can’t stand all kinds of restrictions, so I just stay in my own yard.”
“Anyway, I usually don’t go out. I just want to stay at home and plant spiritual plants. This should avoid most dangerous things.”
“Okay, that’s up to you. Will the Firefly Grass enter the mature stage this time?”
Seeing that Lu Xuan had made up his mind, the thin old man stopped trying to persuade him, changed the subject, and asked him.
“That’s right. Thirteen fireflies have already matured. How about you come and take a look at the quality?”
Lu Xuan said with a chuckle.
“Looking at how smug you are, I guess it’s of good quality. Take it out and show me.”
When Guanshi He saw Lu Xuan’s expression, he felt a little more curious.
With a thought in Lu Xuan’s mind, thirteen fireflies were taken out of the storage bag and landed in front of Guanshi He.
“High-quality firefly grass.”
“It’s still top quality.”
“Huh? Is this…perfect quality?”
The thin old man couldn’t help but raise his head and look at Lu Xuan, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
He calmed down and focused on the firefly grass in front of him again.
“This strain is of good quality.”
“Excellent quality.”
“Perfect quality again?”
Next, four perfect quality fireflies appeared one after another, which shocked He Guanshi at first, but later turned into numbness and calmness.
“The quality of this batch is very good.”
“I didn’t expect you to be able to grow fireflies of perfect quality. It really surprises me.”
Among the thirteen spiritual fireflies, four were of perfect quality. The lean old man couldn’t help but think about it. It seemed that even the experienced spiritual planters in Baicao Hall could not guarantee this probability.
What’s more, this is under the premise that the spiritual energy of Baicaotang’s spiritual field is richer and purer.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply. If he was worried about Lu Xuan’s safety just now and invited him to become the full-time spiritual planter in the hall, now it is completely regrettable that Baicao Hall cannot have a talented spiritual planter like Lu Xuan. Master.
“It’s just luck. I was able to achieve such an achievement because I spent the time that others use to cultivate on cultivating spiritual plants.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“Haha, hard work will always pay off.”
Guanshi He had a hearty laugh.
“Come, let’s settle the accounts! The purchase price is still the same as before. For each good quality plant with three spiritual stones, fifty spiritual fragments will be added. For each superior quality plant, twenty additional spiritual fragments will be added. For each perfect quality plant, four spiritual stones will be added.”
“Total…forty-eight spiritual stones and seventy broken spirits.”
Lu Xuan did a mental calculation, confirmed it was correct, and took the spirit stone handed over by the thin old man.
In this way, his net worth once again exceeded 100, and he had more than 120 spiritual stones in his hand.
Although Baicaotang provided Lu Xuan with firefly seeds at a price that was one to two percent lower than the fireweed seeds on the market, according to the agreement between the two parties, the purchase price for mature fireweed plants was still the normal price.
The reason why Baicaotang gave the spiritual seeds to Lu Xuan and other spiritual planters at a low price was to gain priority when the spiritual medicine matured.
That is, sacrificing some of the benefits of spiritual seeds in exchange for a directional, stable, and better-quality source of spiritual medicine.
“If the firefly grass you send later still has this kind of quality, then I can help you put in a few nice words in front of the eldest lady and apply for other first- or even second-grade spiritual seeds for you.”
Manager He looked at Lu Xuan and said solemnly.
“Second-grade spiritual species?”
Lu Xuan’s tone was a little surprised. The last time he came here, because the two parties had just established a cooperative relationship and he had no outstanding results, the young monk in charge of Baicao Hall didn’t trust him very much, so he only provided a hundred souls. Fireweed seeds and twenty blood jade ginseng spiritual seeds.
“The quality is definitely guaranteed. As for the rest, I’ll trouble you more. I’ll bring you Baoling tea another day.”
He said gratefully to the lean old man.
“That’s not necessary. If you grow high-quality elixirs for the hall, I, as a recommender, will naturally benefit a lot.”
Manager He said with a smile.
After Lu Xuan sold the Firefly Grass, he didn’t stay much. He was careful along the way and returned home quickly.
After returning home, he closed the courtyard door, turned on the formation, and took out an evil-dispelling talisman from his storage bag.
Under the stimulation of spiritual power, a pure white light appeared and swept around Lu Xuan without any movement.
Lu Xuan finally relaxed completely and put down the cloud-walking lynx that had been resting quietly on his shoulder.
“Thanks to you little guy for reminding me, I did a good job today. I will reward you with two more pieces of agouti jerky later.”
At the casual cultivator market, if the green eyes of the Cloud-Stepping Lynx hadn’t been discovered in advance, even if Lu Xuan had a magic weapon and many talismans nearby, he would still be injured.
Thinking of this, he gently touched the two small tufts of hair on the tips of the cloud-walking lynx’s ears and said gently.
The cloud-walking lynx looked at Lu Xuan with its green eyes and let him stroke his head.
“Ouch~~Dried meat jerky, my favorite jerky~”
Lu Xuan seemed to see a lively and lovely soul in its cold and aloof body, stamping its feet on four white clouds and jumping for joy.
But when he thought of the rough roar of the Cloud-Stepping Lynx, the small figure in his body immediately disappeared.
“Ouch~”
Feeling the movement of the palm on his head stop, the blue-eyed lynx tried his best to hold it in place and let out a low voice.
