You Cultivate, I Farm-Chapter 127

Lu Xuan left the Treasure Pavilion, content with acquiring a second-grade Resentful Soul Bell from the old man. This trip proved lucrative, selling Firefly Grass for nearly six hundred spirit stones, exchanging two hundred spirit stones for two pieces of exquisite Clear Spirit Tea, and securing a rare Yin Spirit-class artifact, the Resentful Soul Bell, for two hundred and thirty spirit stones.

With this and his previous savings, his stash now totaled over two thousand two hundred spirit stones, an unprecedented fortune for him. He wasn't keen on purchasing monster meat or a first-grade flying sword from the Treasure Pavilion. Those were readily available in Sword Gate Town, especially at the wandering merchants' stalls, and often priced more affordably than at the Pavilion.

Lu Xuan headed to the cobblestone square and found the stalls of the wandering merchants. Hundreds of stalls jostled together, reminiscent of his days wandering the markets in Linyang District. He swiftly bargained at one stall for a first-grade flying sword.

"How much for this first-grade flying sword?" he asked the ordinary-looking young vendor.

The vendor glanced at Lu Xuan's attire and promptly gauged his origin. "This sword, forged from scarlet iron ore, is priced at forty spirit stones."

"Too steep. How about thirty spirit stones?"

Navigating the stalls came naturally to Lu Xuan; he haggled skillfully, reducing the price significantly. "Friend, that's quite a low offer. This sword is in perfect condition, incredibly sharp. Thirty spirit stones won't suffice," the young vendor remarked, somewhat resigned.

"For a secondhand flying sword, that's the right price. Plus, your sword, while looking fine, shows signs of wear and tear," Lu Xuan pointed out the sword's weaknesses keenly.

"Thirty-five spirit stones then."

Gritting his teeth, the young vendor reluctantly agreed. "Thirty-two spirit stones, and that's final."

"Deal!"

Lu Xuan secured the sword and continued perusing the stalls. As he only needed these swords buried around his sword-nurturing gourd, he sought out secondhand ones at discounted rates. Swiftly, he collected about ten worn first-grade flying swords, spending roughly three hundred spirit stones.

After settling the nourishment for the sword-nurturing gourd, he resumed browsing for suitable monster meat. Cloud-Stepping Lynx and Red Whiskered Carp, the beasts from the caves, had substantial appetites. Hence, Lu Xuan made a special effort, buying nearly fifty catties of monster meat, costing over a hundred spirit stones.

Even after these purchases, he still had around eighteen hundred spirit stones left.

"Is this bone considered a spirit plant? That's absurd!"

As he contemplated leaving the cobblestone square, a voice caught his attention. Intrigued by the mention of a peculiar spirit plant, Lu Xuan approached the sourcea one-eyed middle-aged cultivator displaying an unusual item on his stall: a bundle resembling intertwined slender white bones with razor-sharp protrusions.

"Please, do not get agitated," the middle-aged cultivator said as Lu Xuan approached.

"Friend, in the vastness of this world, there are countless wonders. This bone-like spirit plant is from a special hidden realm. Judging by the scene where I discovered it, I'm about seventy to eighty percent sure it is indeed a spirit plant."

However, another advanced Qi cultivator, similarly dressed in Sky Sword Sect robes like Lu Xuan, vehemently disputed this claim, asserting he had never heard of such a bone-like spirit plant.

Lu Xuan, intrigued, asked about the specific rank and type of the alleged spirit plant. Unfortunately, the middle-aged cultivator could not provide more details, apart from speculating it was likely an extremely rare variant.

"I stumbled upon this peculiar spirit plant while exploring a peculiar hidden realm. As for its exact type and rank, I'm uncertain, but it should be of considerable rarity, judging by the reactions earlier," the one-eyed cultivator explained.

Curious and interested, Lu Xuan attempted to negotiate a price but balked when the cultivator demanded two hundred spirit stones, citing the price being almost equivalent to a second-grade artifact. Faking indignation, Lu Xuan prepared to leave.

"Wait, we can discuss the price."

The middle-aged cultivator stopped Lu Xuan, sensing his hesitancy. He permitted Lu Xuan to examine the bone-like spirit plant. Intrigued, Lu Xuan requested permission to simulate planting it to understand its cultivation process.

After a brief excavation and planting of the peculiar bone, Lu Xuan delved into its essence, discovering its name and gradea third-grade Thorny Bones. The plant, when mature, could be used to craft high-tier puppets and certain esoteric artifacts. It required absorbing bone essence during cultivation.

Satisfied with his assessment, Lu Xuan subtly returned the Thorny Bones to the vendor. His unique ability to perceive the state of planted spirit plants granted him a clear understanding of the rare third-grade Thorny Bones, intensifying his interest in it.
