I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 357: Chapter 355 Vajra Bodhi l

“So, friend, you have two more Foundation Establishment Pills in your possession?”

Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the short and stout old man couldn’t suppress the joy in his heart and blurted out.

The ordinary-looking cultivator standing in front of him had far exceeded his expectations. Originally, he had thought that obtaining two Foundation Establishment Pills was already a huge surprise. He didn’t expect, under the influence of the fifth-order spiritual species, to accidentally learn that there were two more Foundation Establishment Pills!

“That’s correct.”

Lu Xuan nodded and said impassively.

“These last two Foundation Establishment Pills were originally for me to keep and give to a close junior to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

“However, now that I’ve encountered this fifth-order spiritual species, I’ve changed my mind temporarily. When he is about to break through, I’ll find another way.”

The short and stout old man quickly assessed the feasibility of this trade.

The fifth-order spiritual species belongs to the Jindan Category, so its preciousness is self-evident. However, spiritual species, among various treasures, have relatively low value. This one is extremely special and has great limitations in terms of applicability. Add to that the fact that very few people know the cultivation method, so it has been staying in Wanbao Building for a considerable amount of time.

Lu Xuan proposed to exchange the four-level Soul Leading Lantern artifact and two Foundation Establishment Pills for it. Though its value might be slightly inferior to that of the fifth-grade spiritual species, it was more marketable and had stronger liquidity.

“Alright, I advocate agreement then.”

As the host of a branch of Wanbao Building near the Sky Sword sect, the short and stout old man standing before him might only have an average cultivation level, but he obviously held a high position within the Wanbao Building.

“The Heavenly Blue Pill Fire and the fifth-grade spiritual species are not in this branch. However, a Wanbao Building cultivator who excels in speed will deliver them specially. They should arrive by tomorrow. What do you think, my friend?”

“I have no objections.”

Lu Xuan nodded slightly. He couldn’t help but remember when he had just come from Linyang Market to join the Sky Sword Sect. He rode on the Myriad Treasures Ship from Wanbao Building, which was used to transport goods and cultivators.

At that time, it took roughly half a month with many stops along the way to reach Sword Gate Town.

But now, to obtain those two treasures, it only took one day.

The difference is, back then, he was just a small Loose Repair cultivator, harboring the idea of farming peacefully under the protection of a sect, whereas now, he has become a Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivator and owns treasures that Wanbao Building urgently needs, so of course the degree of importance given to him is quite different.

He can clearly perceive the dramatic changes accompanying the elevation of his power and status.

As this idea flashed in his mind, Lu Xuan was even more determined to pursue his cultivation in farming.

The two looked at each other and laughed, both thinking they had made a tremendous profit.

Wanbao Building has obtained four rare Foundation Establishment Pills and a powerful fourth-level artifact.

While Lu Xuan has acquired a fifth-order spiritual species and a fourth-level Strange Fire.

“The Foundation Establishment Pills come from the Light Cluster of the Primordial Essence Herb, which was entrusted by the Dan Palace to cultivate. The Sword Mark was received as a reward for the cultivation. It could be said that it was done at no cost. So, twelve Foundation Establishment Pills, subtract four, and eight remain.”

“The Soul Lantern came from the Underworld Spiritual Plant, the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom. I have a better one at hand, so exchanging this one can be considered as clearing out inventory.”

“I don’t even know how much I’ve actually earned…”

Lu Xuan said to himself with a silent sigh.

He left Wanbao Building, walking on Qing Shi Street in Sword Gate Town.

During his walk, he occasionally placed his palm horizontally on his chest, revealing the scene behind him in his palm.

High in the sky, a gray eye appeared from a tiny crack, observing Lu Xuan’s back with no emotional color.

The Void Nightmare Eye shuttled in the high sky, alternately disappearing and reappearing, surveilling whether any cultivators were following Lu Xuan.

“Wanbao Building really lives up to its reputation as a first-rate commercial organization in the Cultivation World. The credibility is indeed good, without any signs of someone tracking me.”

Lu Xuan’s mouth curled up, not knowing whether he should be delighted or disappointed.

He concealed his energy and strolled leisurely among the various shops and stalls.

For the Foundation Establishment Pill formula, besides a few third-grade spiritual plants, a considerable amount of second-grade spiritual plants were also needed as auxiliary medicines.

Lu Xuan casually bought the corresponding spiritual seeds or mature spiritual plants.

Most second-grade spiritual plants didn’t have much cultivar for him at present, except for the Water Glow Grass.

Due to the large demand for Flaming Fruits and Ice Luo Fruits, and the mastery of the Method of Seed Condensation, he temporarily planted them in large quantities.

He bought some spiritual seeds, just to see if he could open the corresponding elements of the Foundation Establishment Pill from the light cluster, as part of an experiment to test their cultivar worthiness.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

As agreed, Lu Xuan arrived at Wanbao Building.

As soon as he arrived outside the gate, a short, fat old man was already waiting there.

“Friend Lu, thank you for coming again.”

“No problem, Friend Li has been waiting a long time.”

Lu Xuan, guided by the old man, entered an elegant and ancient room.

He scanned the room with a calm expression.

The elegant room was set up with Formation restrictions in all directions, and outside, there was a faint aura which suggested the owner of the aura was in the Foundation Establishment Mid-term to Late-term stage.

“Since this involves fifth-order spiritual species, even I cannot bear the responsibility for any losses, therefore, to prevent any mishaps, Formation restrictions have been setup throughout Wanbao Building, and there’s a guest elder in Late-term Foundation Establishment stage guarding who brought the fifth-grade spiritual seeds over. I hope Friend Lu can understand.”

The short, fat old man, afraid that Lu Xuan might perceive something and cause a misunderstanding, took the initiative to explain.

He was just in the First-term Foundation Establishment stage and was not good at fighting. To avoid any accidents, he had held lots of arrangements in place.

“There’s nothing wrong with that, I understand.”

Seeing the old man actively explaining himself, a slight displeasure in Lu Xuan’s heart immediately dissipated.

After the experience of the Boundless Sea Secret Realm, he had a clearer understanding of his own strength and, as he was near his sect, he didn’t pay too much attention.

“If Friend Lu has no objections, then we can simultaneously exchange the treasures in our hands,” said the old man.

A transparent jade bottle appeared in the hand of the short, fat old man. A light blue flame inside the jade bottle was quietly burning, the flame fluctuating, and Lu Xuan smelled a faint smell of elixir medicine coming from his mouth and nose.

Moreover, there was also a delicate jade box with several charms affixed to its surface. From Lu Xuan’s superficial knowledge of charms, it seemed that the function of the patterns on the charms was to prevent the loss of life force.

Opening the jade box, a peculiar spiritual seed was kept inside.

The spiritual seed was oval-shaped and shaped like a bodhi, its surface deep black and seemed very hard to the eye.

Upon taking a closer look, a clear chant seemed to sound in his ears, and a phantom figure emerged from the Bodhi seeds, looking like a furious vajra, intimidating all demon envoys in the world.

“This is the fifth-order spiritual seed brought from the headquarters, I just learned from the guest elder who brought the spiritual seed that this seed is called Vajra Bodhi.”

“However, only simple related information is known, and the method to cultivate it is not accessible. It’s only known that it might be closely related to the Buddhist gate. The specific cultivation method still needs you, Friend Lu, to research.”

“Fine, I have no hope of making a breakthrough anymore, and have plenty of time to research these things.”

Lu Xuan said with a laugh, taking the Vajra Bodhi spirit seed from the short, fat old man.

Holding the spirit seed in his hand, rotating it slightly changed the phantom image of the furious vajra on the surface, showing various demon subduing poses.

“Friend Li, here are four Foundation Establishment Pills and the Soul Lantern. Please take a careful look, and if there’s no problem, I will take my leave.”

He properly stored the Vajra Bodhi Spirit Seed and Heavenly Blue Pill Fire, and handed over the Foundation Establishment Pills and the Soul Lantern to the short, fat old man.
