You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 742: Soul Insect Fungi, Great Gift from an Evil Cultivator

Since there was a way to avoid the risks brought by this Sixth Grade Weird Spiritual Plant, Lu Xuan naturally would not miss out on such a high-grade Spirit Seed.

He gently placed the strange branch back on the stall and looked up at the mysterious figure in the black fog.

“Fellow daoist, I intend to purchase this Spirit Seed, please quote me a price,” Lu Xuan said.

The surging black fog paused for a moment as if pondering what price to offer.

Soon after, a hoarse voice reached Lu Xuan’s ears.

“Eighty thousand Spirit Stones.”

“My friend, that is somewhat unreasonable,” Lu Xuan responded.

Though Lu Xuan was now quite wealthy, he still adhered to the principle of saving where possible and began to haggle.

“It’s a Sixth Grade Spirit Seed indeed, but even with your strength and discernment, you can’t know the origins of the Spirit Seed. As a Junior Cultivator at the Early Core Formation stage, it’s even less likely for me to understand,” he argued.

“Under the premise of complete ignorance, cultivating this Sixth Grade Spirit Seed entails significant risk.”

“Moreover, at first glance, this Spirit Seed is extremely weird; cultivating it might harm the Spirit Plant Master. In this case, such a high price is inappropriate.”

Lu Xuan spoke confidently.

“You make an offer.”

“In my view, it’s probably worth fifty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.”

Lu Xuan directly halved the initial price.

“Too low.”

“Fifty-one thousand?”

After several rounds of bargaining, the Fragrant Flesh Branch Spirit Seed was finally sold for sixty thousand Spirit Stones.

Lu Xuan handed over six hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones and left contentedly with the strange branch.

After exploring the entire Ghost Market, he finally found three Fifth Rank Spirit Seeds at the stall of a Golden Core Intermediate Cultivator.

The name of the Spirit Seeds was Soul Insect Fungi, which grew into a state of being half insect and half fungi when matured, and had a great attraction to monsters and demons.

That cultivator even mentioned that Primordial Infant True Monarchs often used Soul Insect Fungi as bait to fish for Outer Realm Demons in the Void.

Lu Xuan also secretly obtained detailed information about this strange spiritual plant.

[Soul Insect Fungi, a Fifth-Quality Spirit Plant, of bizarre form, cultivated with the flesh and blood of Monster Tribe members. Mature plants have an irresistible attraction to various monsters and demons and can lure them from a certain range.]

[Often used as bait for fishing for Monster Tribe members, there are Primordial Infant Great Powers who are adept at this method and use Soul Insect Fungi processed into bait to fish for specific Outerworld Sky Demon species in the Void.]

[The bait is me, are you the fisherman or the fish?]

“Using a Fifth-Quality Spirit Plant as bait to fish for demons…”

“Truly, the world of Fishing Enthusiasts is beyond the imagination of us Ordinary Spirit Plant Masters,” Lu Xuan mused with a shake of his head.

He ultimately purchased those three Soul Insect Fungi Spirit Seeds for eighteen thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones each.

“I didn’t expect such a significant haul from coming to the Abyss Star Cave this time,” Lu Xuan reflected contentedly after having browsed the entire Ghost Market.

This trip to the Ghost Market had been fruitful: he acquired the Sixth Grade Fragrant Flesh Branch, the Fifth-Quality Soul Insect Fungi, as well as a Five-Quality Evil Object, the Blood Spring Clam Mother.

In addition, he got the Thousand Soul Banner, filled with countless Yin Souls, and several Evil Path Magical Instruments that would greatly assist him in cultivating weird spiritual plants.

“Besides these, there might be more that will quite literally fall into my lap soon.”

Lu Xuan cast a surreptitious glance at the palm of his hand, where a grey-white pupil emerged from a crack, projecting the surrounding scenery before his eyes.

As he observed along the way, he noted a few people appearing around him quite often.

“Early Core Formation cultivation level… with a preemptive mind against the unguarded, it’s a sure bet.”

“Who would refuse such readily delivered top-notch flesh and blood?”

Lu Xuan’s smile was enigmatic as he concealed his aura and left the Ghost Market, heading for the fifth layer of the Abyss Star Cave.

Fifth Layer Passage.

Two cultivators rapidly flew out from the dense Yin Qi.

“Where did that person go? He’s quite fast.”

One of the old crones transmitted her voice to another person beside her.

“With my fierce ghost on his trail, he shouldn’t be able to run far.”

In the other person’s hand appeared an Evil Ghost Talisman; a wisp of green aura lingered on the talisman, indicating the whereabouts of the evil ghost.

“Right, your old ghost is proficient in controlling spirits and excels at tracking. Once you’re on someone’s tail, it’s tough for them to escape.”

The ugly old crone said with a sinister chuckle.

The two of them happened to notice a loose cultivator of the early Core Formation stage in the Ghost Market. He didn’t even blink while taking out a bunch of Middle Grade Spiritual Stones to purchase rare treasures, indicating considerable wealth, which instantly aroused their greed, leading to their attempt to ambush him mid-way.

“That kid, I don’t know where he’s from. Ordinary cultivation level, but quite the wealthy background; daring to show off in the Ghost Market, it’s no wonder we both set our sights on him.”

The old crone transmitted to her companion who resembled a fierce ghost.

Not only did the two set up stalls to sell goods in the Ghost Market, but they also occasionally engaged in robbery and treasure looting, instantly transforming into Tribulation Cultivators to carry out a big heist if they spotted an easy target.

Her companion’s commanded ghost creature was endowed with broad divine skills and deep unpredictability, making it extremely difficult to detect, and their several robberies were all exceedingly successful.

“It’s still better to be cautious.”

The Ghost Cultivator stared fixedly at the Evil Ghost Talisman in his hand, transmitting a reminder to the old crone.

“Hmm? Something seems off.”

The Ghost Cultivator let out a soft exclamation as the pattern of the evil ghost on the talisman appeared to be getting closer and closer to him.

“Are the two esteemed friends looking for this?”

Just then, a clear and melodious voice reached their ears, the tone was gentle, yet it struck them like thunder out of a clear sky.

Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw a sullen-looking young man slowly emerging from the dense Yin Qi.

The young man held a tiny black ghost in his hand, enveloped in a net made of clear qi.

As the two of them looked over, the net continuously contracted; black smoke wafted from the tiny black ghost, whose ferocious facial features twisted in pain, clearly suffering immensely.

“This is bad!”

The two of them exclaimed in unison.

“Very good!”

A few breaths later, Lu Xuan took two storage bags from the two corpses and casually tossed a thigh to the Big Meaty Ball beside him.

Feeling the vigorous vitality emanating from the Core Formation cultivators’ flesh and blood, the Big Meaty Ball happily jumped three feet in the air.

Its pinkish-white pupils rotated slightly, and the thigh instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, which it sucked into its belly in a single gulp.

“The Evil Cultivators from the Abyss Cave are really generous, delivering such a great gift to a newcomer like me.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.

He had noticed in the Ghost Market that someone was watching him. As soon as he had come out, an elusive little ghost closely followed him.

If it wasn’t for his possession of the Void Nightmare Eye and his own practice of the Breaking Illusion Eye Technique, he might not have detected the presence of the little ghost at all.

Once confirming that the two posed no threat to him, Lu Xuan decided to turn their plan against them and led them to the fifth layer.

The fifth layer was without Sky Star Cave Cultivators stationed to guard it, and the management was relatively lax, making it suitable for murdering and looting treasures.

Both of them were a realm lower than him, and under the relentless attacks of his “Ghost Sorrow Strange Diagram”, the Incarnation of Vajra in Hell, and the Peacock King Sword, along with the restriction against Monster Demon and Evil Haunted Will from “Mysterious Sky Clear Subtle Method”, they were quickly slain by Lu Xuan.

“Such a generous gift must not be wasted.”

Lu Xuan performed a Soul-Seizing Secret Technique, trapping the souls of the two cultivators.

The souls of the two Evil Cultivators watched their flesh being devoured and their treasures taken, each revealing a look of deep resentment.

Before they could speak, their souls were sucked away by a Mysterious Lantern, leaving no trace behind.
