You Cultivate, I Farm

Chapter 455: The Seven Emotions Bean

A middle-aged cultivator’s Cold Bone Sword of the fourth rank sparked considerable interest among the cultivators present.

The Sky Sword Sect, renowned for its swordsmanship, had numerous sword artifacts, yet fourth-rank flying swords were not common. The Sword Hall provided Sword Grass of the fourth rank only to a limited number of sect cultivators.

Given the exceptional quality of this Cold Bone Sword, it triggered a fierce bidding war among several attendees.

Eventually, it was exchanged by a female cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment for a fourth-rank defensive artifact.

This fourth-rank flying sword set a lively pace, and the exchange of treasures proceeded with great enthusiasm, the scene buzzing with activity.

Lu Xuan sat quietly in a corner, watching the dazzling array of treasures on stage that left one mesmerized.

Despite the abundance of treasures, only a few piqued his interest.

His main purpose for attending was to acquire spiritual seeds, saplings of spiritual plants, and young demonic beasts or their eggs, as each represented a reward-rich luminous orb.

Of course, methods of condensing seeds were also on his list, but he did not expect such a gathering to offer anything particularly rare in that regard, preferring instead to directly exchange for them at the Sword Hall or the Agricultural Hall.

Additionally, his wishlist included various rare spiritual soils with different effects, high-grade demonic beast carcasses that could be fully utilized, fourth-rank or higher strange fires capable of nurturing Phoenix Wood, and Buddhist artifacts suitable for cultivating Diamond Bodhi.

Other treasures only mildly interested him.

The rewards from the luminous orbs had already left him quite satisfied.

While deep in thought, his attention was captured by an artifact held by a burly cultivator on stage.

The artifact, seemingly forged from bronze, featured a sharp blade on one end, radiating a chilling brilliance, and Buddha statues on the other end, some serene and peaceful, others ferocious and wrathful.

“This object, named the Demon-Subduing Stake, is a fourth-rank Buddhist artifact I stumbled upon. It contains pure and powerful Buddhist forces, highly effective against demons and evil spirits.”

“I wish to exchange it for an offensive artifact or talisman.”

The burly cultivator spoke with a deep voice.

“Buddhist artifacts are indeed rare.”

“It’s uncertain what specific uses it might have.”

Some cultivators murmured among themselves below the stage.

When Lu Xuan saw the Demon-Subduing Stake, his eyes lit up; this fourth-rank Buddhist artifact seemed tailor-made for his Diamond Bodhi!

Having acquired the fifth-rank Diamond Bodhi seed two or three years ago, its cultivation conditions were exceedingly special, requiring various Buddhist powers for nourishment. He had barely maintained the seed’s vitality using Soul-Inducing Zen Incense and the Thunderous Sword Scripture.

If he obtained this fourth-rank pure Buddhist artifact, it would satisfy the early to mid-stage growth needs of the Diamond Bodhi.

“This brother, I have a fourth-rank Sword Talisman in my possession, capable of unleashing endless Great Sun Sword Qi when fully activated, which can easily severely injure or even kill cultivators at the middle or late stages of Foundation Establishment.”

“The Great Sun Sword Qi within the talisman can be used multiple times.”

Lu Xuan communicated with the burly cultivator through a voice transmission, holding a red talisman that radiated countless fine sword qi, like light emanating from a blazing sun.

“A fourth-rank Sword Talisman?”

Upon hearing this, the burly cultivator’s spiritual sense swept over the Great Sun Sword Talisman in Lu Xuan’s hand, his eyes brightening.

After a moment's hesitation, he replied to Lu Xuan through a voice transmission.

“Brother, I have a complete fourth-rank artifact here, and your talisman has limited uses. Don’t they differ in value?”

“While that’s true, the talisman I offer excels in offensive power among artifacts and talismans of the same rank. Few can surpass its strength. Plus, the infinite sword qi stored within allows for multiple activations, making their values not too disparate.”

Lu Xuan spoke calmly, not revealing his true intent.

The burly cultivator fell silent for a moment, considering Lu Xuan’s logical argument and the allure of the fourth-rank Sword Talisman too great to resist, he nodded in agreement.

After stepping down from the stage, the two exchanged their desired items.

Lu Xuan felt satisfied. He had more than a dozen fourth-rank Sword Talismans, with new Sword-Nurturing Gourds maturing soon, which would rapidly increase the number of talismans. Exchanging a readily available talisman for a fourth-rank Buddhist artifact felt like a small profit.

Whether he could use the fourth-rank Demon-Subduing Stake normally was not a significant concern; using it to cultivate the fifth-rank Diamond Bodhi would be quite beneficial.

He continued to sit quietly

, watching as various cultivators presented their treasures on stage.

Occasionally, spiritual seeds appeared, but whether due to their low grade or commonality, obtainable from the Agricultural Hall, Lu Xuan did not engage in exchanges.

Before long, a graceful and gentle female cultivator slowly took the stage.

“Fellow sect members, I possess a rare spiritual seed named the Seven Emotions Bean, which, upon maturation, can assist in certain heartless and emotion-eliminating cultivation methods, quickly enabling cultivators to enter a focused state, undisturbed by external factors.”

“I wish to exchange this seed for pills, treasures, or spiritual medicines that can purify turbid spiritual energy and reduce the risk of mutation.”

The response from the audience was lukewarm.

Most Sky Sword Sect cultivators present spent their time on cultivation and seeking opportunities, even if they learned a cultivation skill, it was usually in alchemy, artifact crafting, or talisman making.

Some might attempt to cultivate obtained spiritual seeds, but specializing in spiritual plants was not their focus, making interest in such rare plant species even scarcer.

Moreover, the items the female cultivator sought to reduce mutation were too valuable to exchange for a peculiar and rare spiritual seed.

As the gentle female cultivator looked around and saw no offers, she sighed softly, about to leave the stage when a soft and gentle voice reached her ears.

“Senior sister, I have a Heart Fire Lotus seed that, upon consumption, can purify turbid auras, rendering one’s spiritual energy pure and flawless, greatly reducing the risk of demonic mutation. Would senior sister be interested in an exchange?”

The voice belonged to Lu Xuan, who sat quietly in the corner.

Hearing of the Seven Emotions Bean spiritual seed, he felt an irresistible urge to acquire it.

“Seems I’ve developed a collecting obsession for spiritual seeds; the rarer and higher-grade they are, the more I want to possess them.”

“Even though my spiritual field is already full, I can’t suppress this desire.”

Lu Xuan mused to himself.

“Heart Fire Lotus seed?”

The female cultivator’s expression was one of surprise, her eyes lighting up considerably. Acquiring such an item far exceeded her expectations.

“With it, I can attempt to explore that demon-infested secret realm.”

She smiled softly, replying to Lu Xuan through a voice transmission.

“I would be delighted to.”
