Chapter 692: Mysterious Spiritual Seeds
“Sixth Grade Spirit Seed...”
Upon hearing the female cultivator’s words, Lu Xuan’s eyes instantly brightened.
Though he had cultivated many Fifth-Rank and higher spiritual plants in his cave abode, each plant was hard to come by, making him all the more aware of the rarity of the Sixth Grade Spirit Seed.
Of course, he wouldn’t miss such a rare opportunity.
“Please introduce me to some specifics about that family, Taoist friend Wen,” he said, his tone gentle.
“The cultivator interested in selling the family’s spiritual seeds comes from the Qing Yuan Bai Family, a vast family within thousands of miles, purportedly established by a Primordial Infant True Monarch, with a heritage spanning many years,” she explained.
“However, after the longevity of the ancestors in the family was exhausted, the clan gradually showed signs of decline. This generation, including the patriarch, only has two Golden Core cultivators.”
“Though their power is still not to be underestimated, compared to their most prosperous period, there is a significant gap.”
As the branch tower master of the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, the female cultivator was naturally familiar with every major and minor power within Liyang Region, and she detailed this to Lu Xuan.
“A declining family? With two Golden Core cultivators?”
Lu Xuan’s expression remained calm, but a question mark surfaced in his mind.
He could never associate decline with Golden Core cultivators. Recalling his own time at the Qi Practicing Stage in Linyang Market, where the Wang Family, which managed the market and had several Foundation Establishment cultivators, seemed like a colossal entity. He had not expected that within the Liyang Region, a family with Golden Core Real People would be described as declining.
“I am somewhat interested in the spiritual seeds of the Bai family; when the opportunity arises, please lead me there, Taoist friend Wen,” he requested.
“No problem, Senior,” the female cultivator replied, bowing her head.
Days passed, and aside from going out to purchase some cultivation materials and visiting the grocery store, Lu Xuan spent the rest of his time in the branch, dealing with miscellaneous duties and cultivating.
Taoist friend Wen led him to a secluded courtyard.
“Senior Lu, this is Patriarch Bai Yushan of the Bai Family,” she introduced.
“Patriarch Bai, this is Senior Lu Xuan, a guest elder of our Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, skilled in the path of spiritual plants,” she announced.
No sooner had they entered the courtyard than two enthusiastic Golden Core cultivators approached them.
“It is indeed a Sixth-Grade Spirit Seed, but one of a variety never seen before,” a few Golden Core Real People commented after a brief inspection, sensing the rich vitality within the seed.
“This is no ordinary Sixth-Grade Spiritual Plant. As for the specific variety, please allow me some secrecy for now. I will disclose more details once I have exchanged it with one of you,” the elder said slowly.
Hearing his words, everyone’s curiosity intensified.
Soon, a Golden Core Cultivator spoke up to inquire about the price.
“Fellow Bai, I have a rare bronze mirror, ranked Fifth Grade, named the Dazzling Light Mirror, which possesses many marvelous uses and can be refined into a Low-grade Magical Treasure. Would it be possible to exchange it for your Spirit Seed?”
With this Golden Core Real Person breaking the balance, others began to bring out their rare treasures sequentially.
“Patriarch Bai, how about this Starlight Twin Swords? A complete set of Fifth-Rank Magic Instruments, forged from extraordinary meteorites. When used, they have far greater power than ordinary Five-Grade Flying Swords and can significantly enhance your power, potentially raising our chances of reaching the Nascent Soul stage,” said a Golden Core Intermediate Cultivator, as a long and a short sword burst forth, their blades dazzling with starlight. They seemed to be attracted by some special force, maintaining a constant distance from each other.
“Patriarch Bai...”
Various treasures made a dazzling display, and one Golden Core Intermediate Cultivator even brought out a Fifth-Rank Cultivation Method, profoundly stirring the elder’s heart.
“Uncle Yushan, why not choose the Dazzling Light Mirror or the Starlight Twin Swords?”
“With such Strange Treasures, our power could increase significantly in a short time, perhaps enough to bring the Nascent Soul within reach,” a young cultivator from the Bai Family whispered to the elder in a corner.
“Foolish!”
The stern elder secretly glared at the young man.
“Is our family lacking in magical artifacts? Even if you obtained those rare magical instruments, any increase in power would be extremely limited.”
“Our family is failing to bridge generations. While numerous talented disciples have emerged, only a few have the potential to reach the Core Formation stage.”
“If an accident happens or when our time comes, the entire Bai Family will either disperse or be swallowed by other forces. Therefore, we cannot focus merely on ourselves but must consider how to ensure the continuity of our family.”
“That Fifth-Rank Cultivation Method, albeit ordinary in quality, could provide many Bai Family disciples with an additional option and a greater chance. Let’s consider it for now,” the elder communicated privately to the young man.
“Patriarch Bai, would you allow me a closer look at the extraordinary Spirit Seed? If it is satisfactory, I do have a fine Treasure Item on hand,” said an unexpected gentle voice from the Commerce Association’s Guest Elder.
