I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 356 - 354 Heavenly Blue Pill Fire_l
Chapter 356: Chapter 354 Heavenly Blue Pill Fire_l
“I obtained this Soul Lantern from an evil cultivator I dealt with. It doesn’t have much use to me, so I was hoping to exchange it for some necessary treasures.” Lu Xuan fabricated a story, skillfully blaming it all on the ‘evil cultivator’. Previously, he had planted a Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom which, upon maturation, yielded two Fourth Grade Soul Lanterns within the light group. Furthermore, one of the lanterns had absorbed the soul of a Foundation Establishment Mid-term body cultivator as well as the soul of a Foundation Establishment Late-term Blood Robe Cultivator in the Secret Land, which makes it extraordinarily precious.
Having this lantern in hand now, but no particular use for it, he was planning to exchange it for other treasures.
“Soul Lantern?”
The short, plump old man carefully examined the eerie lantern in Lu Xuan’s hand.
He had heard of this Soul Lantern before. Its production method is extremely cruel and it can in an instant cause havoc in a cultivator’s or demon beast’s mind, leading to their loss of direction. It can also attract the Yin Souls in a certain radius.
As a Four-level Magical Tool, it is extremely precious, and holds a great allure for evil cultivators who are practicing related cultivation techniques. “You want high-rank Spirit Seeds, demon beast eggs, or special Spirit Soil, Spiritual Liquid, Strange Fire, and other treasures… let me think about it.” The short, plump cultivator mumbled to himself, various thoughts rapidly crossing his mind as he tried to recall if there were any treasures suitable for Lu Xuan in the Wanbao Building.
“To be honest, the treasures you are asking for are not common, and if you consider the ranks, they become even more rare.”
“To my knowledge, the only items in the Wanbao Building branch in Sword Gate Town that can meet your demands are a third-grade Pill Furnace and a Rank-Three Strange Fire named Qian Yang Separation Fire. What do you think friend?”
He paused for a moment before tentatively asking Lu Xuan.
“A third-grade Pill Furnace, a Rank-Three Strange Fire…”
A hint of hesitation appeared in Lu Xuan’s eyes.
After obtaining the Medicinal Pangolin and the Foundation Building Pill Recipe, he had thought about trying pill refining. Although the third-grade Pill Furnace was sufficient, he was keen to obtain a higher-ranking Pill Furnace.
As for the Rank-Three Strange Fire, he could consistently obtain a Rank-Three Red Lotus Flame from the Flame Fruit Light Group, which was more than enough to cultivate a Phoenix Wood in its early stages. Therefore, he didn’t feel a strong need for it.
“Are there any better treasures available?”
Hearing the disappointment in his tone, the short, plump old man quickly responded,
“The Wanbao Building in Sword Gate Town is just one of the branches. The headquarters and other branches must have the treasures you’re looking for.” Please wait here for a moment, have some tea and taste some Spirit Fruits. I will contact the other branches and the headquarters of Wanbao Building and ensure a satisfying answer for you.”
“Alright.”
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.
About half an hour later, the short, plump old man rushed back in, a look of eager excitement on his face.
My friend, after contacting the other branches and headquarters, I quickly located several treasures that match your requirements.”
“Among them, there are three types of Spiritual Liquid and Strange Fire; all of which are of the fourth grade. They are Qian Yang Separation Fire, Xuan Ming True Liquid, and Heavenly Blue Pill Fire.”
“Qian Yang Separation Fire is aggressive and domineering. After refining, it carries immense destructive powers. Xuan Ming True Liquid can enhance’the cultivation speed of ice-related cultivation techniques and formula methods, and even for Foundation Establishment Mid and Late-term cultivators, it has great utility.”
“As for the Heavenly Blue Pill Fire, it originates from the Douluo Sect known for their pill cultivation, and is extremely suitable for refining elixirs, mildly increasing the likelihood of pill formation and improving the quality of elixirs.” Short, plump old man briefly introduced to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan nodded and immediately excluded the Qian Yang Separation Fire. He had a Fifth Rank Treasure, the “Pure Yang True Fire Talisman”, which could allow him to cultivate a better Pure Yang True Fire. Therefore, he no longer needed the Qian Yang Separation Fire.
Xuan Ming True Liquid is highly suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators who practice ice technique-based divine skills. For Lu Xuan, it could seemingly serve better in cultivating and nourishing the Dragon Bone Herb.
However, he now had Profound Origin Heavy Water and Spirit Gathering True Liquid in his hands, so his demand for this fourth-grade spiritual liquid was not that strong.
What naturally remained was the Heavenly Blue Pill Fire.
Being able to further increase the probability of forming a pill and the quality of the elixir, was the most suitable thing for Lu Xuan who aimed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
“I choose the Heavenly Blue Pill Fire, how about exchanging it for two Foundation Establishment Pills?”
Lu Xuan said.
“Okay!”
The short, chubby old man promptly agreed. Although the Heavenly Blue Pill Fire was one rank higher than the Foundation Establishment Pill, the latter was often priceless, with an actual value well beyond its rank. For the Wanbao Building, exchanging two Foundation Establishment Pills for one Heavenly Blue Pill Fire was acceptable.
The two men reached a preliminary agreement.
“Also, regarding the spirit seeds and demon beast eggs you need, we have a few spirit seeds and demon beast eggs available in Wanbao Building. The rank of the spirit seeds is either third-grade or fourth-grade. There is one fourth-grade demon beast egg, the rest are third-grade.”
The short, chubby old man introduced the detailed information about the spirit seeds and demon beast eggs to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan’s expression remained the same, but he was somewhat disappointed in his heart.
The spirit seeds the old man mentioned, as far as he knew, were relatively common third and fourth-grade spirit seeds in the Cultivation World, and there was nothing that caught his eye. Their rarity was far inferior to those in the sect’s Spirit Field.
“That’s all you have?”
He became more and more impatient as he listened, and he couldn’t help but interrupt the old man. He asked in an indifferent tone.
The short, chubby old man was a bit surprised and made a higher assessment of Lu Xuan’s strength and background.
Despite a string of third-grade and fourth-grade spirit seeds, none of them caught his attention which revealed that in his eyes, fourth-grade spirit seeds were not exactly rare treasures.
“Fellow Daoist, please calm down. Apart from these third and fourth-grade spirit seeds and demon beast eggs, there is also a fifth-rank spirit seed in the main building of the Wanbao Building,” he said mysteriously to Lu Xuan.
“Oh? Please do tell more, Li Dao You.”
Lu Xuan instantly became intensely interested. Even the most common variety of fifth-rank spirit seeds was extremely rare in the Cultivation World.
In the Agricultural Department Hall, although there are not many fourth-grade spirit seeds, as long as there are enough Sword Marks, it was possible to get them stably on a long term basis. That was not the case with fifth-ranking spirit seeds.

In his spirit field, there were several fifth-quality spirit plants, but all of them were obtained by sheer luck.
The Blood Scourge Flower was picked up by using a loophole, the Dragon Bone Herb from the bottom of Thousand Dragon Lake, and the Holy Infant Fruit Plant were considered as bait by the hidden evil cultivators whereas the Strange Longevity Peach, Phoenix Wood, and Demonic Vine came from the Secret Land.
In particular, the sixth-rank Phoenix Tree and Demonic Vine were part of the sect s welfare and wouldn’t have been normally acquired.
From this, one could see the rareness of fifth-grade spirit seeds, and naturally, he wouldn’t miss them if he came across them.
“That fifth-grade spirit seed was obtained from a Buddhist Blessed Place after enduring many hardships by a powerful guest elder of Wanbao Building,” “However, I must warn you beforehand that even though your soul leading lantern is a fourth-grade magical tool with special dark magic powers, it may still be a bit inadequate to exchange for that fifth-grade spirit seed,” the chubby old man stated diplomatically.
“Of course.”
How about this, I have the last two Foundation Establishment Pills left, so if I add the fourth-grade Soul Leading Lantern, would it be enough to exchange for that fifth-grade spirit seed?”
Lu Xuan pretended to think for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said, with an expression of extreme pain on his face.
