"This Soul-Inducing Lamp was obtained from a demonic cultivator I dealt with. It's of little use to me, so I'm looking to exchange it for some needed treasures," Lu Xuan fabricated effortlessly, smoothly shifting the blame onto the nonexistent "demonic cultivator."
Earlier, from the ghost-faced stone mushrooms he cultivated, two fourth-grade Soul-Inducing Lamps emerged within the luminous orbs. Among them, the other lamp absorbed the soul of a mid-level Foundation Establishment cultivator and a late-stage cultivator wearing a blood robe in the secret realm, making it exceedingly valuable.
The lamp he currently held was of little use to him, so he intended to exchange it for other treasures.
"A Soul-Inducing Lamp?" The stout old man carefully examined the sinister lantern in Lu Xuan's hand.
He had heard of the Soul-Inducing Lamp; its refinement method was extremely vicious. It could instantly confuse the minds of cultivators and demonic beasts, causing them to lose their way, while also attracting and gathering Yin spirits in the surrounding area. As a fourth-grade spiritual artifact, it was extremely precious, especially for demonic cultivators practicing relevant techniques, making it highly attractive to them.
"Friend desires high-grade spiritual plants, demonic beast eggs, or special items like spiritual soil, spiritual liquid, or rare fires... Let me think," the stout cultivator muttered to himself, his mind racing as he recalled whether there were suitable treasures in the Myriad Treasures Tower for Lu Xuan.
"To be frank, friend, the items you seek are not common. If you also require high grades, they are even rarer. As far as I know, among the items in the Sword Gate Town sub-tower, there is only one third-grade pill furnace and a third-grade rare fire called 'Sunfire.' I wonder if this would meet your requirements?" he tentatively proposed to Lu Xuan after pondering for a moment.
"Third-grade pill furnace, third-grade rare fire..." A hint of hesitation flickered in Lu Xuan's eyes.
After obtaining the Medicine Bug and the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe, he had contemplated trying alchemy. Although a third-grade pill furnace would suffice, he still wanted to acquire a higher-grade one. As for the third-grade rare fire, the Flame Fruit luminous orb could already produce stable third-grade Crimson Lotus Flames, more than enough for cultivating Phoenix Wood at its early stages, so his demand for it wasn't very strong.
"Are there any other better treasures?" The stout old man sensed the disappointment in Lu Xuan's tone and hurriedly responded, "This Myriad Treasures Tower in Sword Gate Town is just a branch tower. The main tower and other branch towers surely have treasures that would meet your requirements."
"Please wait here for a moment, have some tea, taste some spiritual fruits. I will contact the owners of the towers in other regions to ensure a satisfactory response for you," he added.
"Alright," Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.
After about half an hour, the stout old man returned hastily, wearing an eager smile on his face.
"Friend, after contacting the owners of other branch towers and the main tower, we quickly found several items that meet your requirements."
"Among them, there are three kinds of fourth-grade spiritual liquids and rare fires. They are Thousand Sunfire, Profound Abyss True Liquid, and Azure Flame of Heaven."
"Thousand Sunfire is fierce and domineering. After refining, it possesses tremendous killing power. Profound Abyss True Liquid can enhance the cultivation speed of ice-based techniques and arts, even for mid to late Foundation Establishment cultivators, it is extremely beneficial."
"As for Azure Flame of Heaven, it comes from the Lotus Sect, renowned for alchemy. It's an extremely suitable rare fire for refining pills, slightly increasing the probability of pill formation and the quality of pills," the stout old man explained briefly.
Lu Xuan nodded, first excluding Thousand Sunfire. He already possessed a fifth-grade treasure, the Pure Yang True Fire Scroll, from which he could cultivate even better Pure Yang True Fire. Therefore, he no longer needed Thousand Sunfire.
The Xuanming True Liquid is extremely suitable for foundation cultivators who practice ice-based techniques and abilities. However, for Lu Xuan, it seemed somewhat redundant. It would be better used to nurture the Dragon Bone Grass.
However, with the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water and the Gathering Spirit Essence in his hands, his demand for this fourth-grade spiritual liquid wasn't very strong.
What remained was the Celestial Azure Dan Fire.
Being able to further increase the probability of pill formation and the quality of the pills, it was most suitable for Lu Xuan, who aimed to refine foundation establishment pills.
"I'll take the Celestial Azure Dan Fire. How about exchanging it for two foundation establishment pills?" Lu Xuan spoke up.
"Deal!" The stout old man immediately agreed. Although the Celestial Azure Dan Fire was a grade higher than the foundation establishment pills, foundation establishment pills were often priceless. Their actual value far exceeded their grade, so exchanging two foundation establishment pills for one Celestial Azure Dan Fire was completely acceptable for the Treasure Pavilion.
The two reached a preliminary agreement.
"Additionally, regarding the spiritual species and demonic beast embryos that the dao friend needs, in the Treasure Pavilion, there are several spiritual species and demonic beast embryos, all of which are of third or fourth grade. There's one fourth-grade demonic beast embryo, while the rest are third grade," the stout old man introduced Lu Xuan to the details of the spiritual species and demonic beast embryos.
Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged, but he felt somewhat disappointed inside.
From what he understood, the spiritual species mentioned by the old man were relatively common third and fourth-grade species in the cultivation world. There was nothing particularly eye-catching about them, and their rarity and value were far inferior to those found in the sect's spiritual fields.
"Is there nothing else?" He grew increasingly impatient, unable to refrain from interrupting the old man, and asked calmly.
The stout old man couldn't help but be taken aback, forming a higher assessment of Lu Xuan's strength and background.
Even after mentioning several types of third and fourth-grade spiritual species, none of them had caught the other party's attention. It was evident that in his eyes, fourth-grade spiritual species were not particularly rare treasures.
"Please don't be hasty, dao friend. In addition to these third and fourth-grade spiritual species and demonic beast embryos, there is also a fifth-grade spiritual species in the main building of the Treasure Pavilion," he said mysteriously to Lu Xuan.
"Oh? Please elaborate, Brother Li," Lu Xuan instantly became intensely interested. Fifth-grade spiritual species, even the most common variety, were extremely rare in the cultivation world.
In the Pill Palace, although there weren't many fourth-grade spiritual species, as long as he had enough sword imprints, he could acquire them stably for a long time. However, this wouldn't be possible with fifth-grade spiritual species.
He had acquired several fifth-grade spiritual plants by chance in his spiritual field. However, the Bloodthirsty Flower was obtained by picking up leftovers, the Dragon Bone Grass at the bottom of the Thousand Dragon Lake was also the same, and the Sacred Infant Fruit was used as bait by the hidden evil cultivator. The Phoenix Wood, Demon Ghost Vine, and other items were obtained from secret realms.
Among them, the sixth-grade Phoenix Wood and Demon Ghost Vine even had the nature of sect benefits; otherwise, it would be difficult to obtain them normally.
This showed the rarity of fifth-grade spiritual species. Encountering one naturally meant he couldn't let it slip away.
"That fifth-grade spiritual species is said to have been obtained by a powerful guest from a Buddhist sanctuary after undergoing many trials and tribulations," the stout old man said tactfully.
"However, I must be upfront. Although your Soul-Inducing Lamp is a fourth-grade spiritual weapon with a special ability, if you were to exchange it for that fifth-grade spiritual species, it would still be somewhat difficult," the stout old man said.
"Naturally," Lu Xuan pretended to ponder for a moment, gritting his teeth and saying with an extremely pained expression.
