I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 523: Chapter 521: Mysterious Gold Rock_1

“A treasure infused with Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Power? As far as I am aware, such treasures are extremely rare, and due to the special nature of their spiritual power, their rank usually isn’t below Fifth Rank and only occasionally, a Fourth-Grade Treasure would appear.”

The short, plump elder looked at Lu Xuan, apparently reminding him, a cultivator at Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivation base, that it would be quite difficult to acquire a treasure infused with Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Power.

“As for the Gold Spirit Soil, although these treasures are also rare, they are slightly more common in comparison.”

“However, our building doesn’t have such treasures.”

“Please wait a moment, I’ll go inquire with the other departments to see if they have them.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan nodded his approval.

More than a quarter of an hour after leaving, the short plump elder returned hastily and gulped down the spiritual tea in his cup.

“Daoist friend, I used a secret treasure of Wanbao Building to thoroughly inquire about the other departments, and I have some good news regarding the two types of treasures that you need.”

“We couldn’t find a treasure possessed with Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Power, but in the treasury of the Wanbao Building Headquarters, there is a Fifth-Rank Cultivation Method which can cultivate a small amount of Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Power. Would you be interested, my fellow Daoist?”

“Fifth-Rank Cultivation Method?”

Lu Xuan slightly frowned. He was looking for treasures carrying Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Power to satisfy the needs of the Sixth Grade Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood during its initial growth phase. If he were to switch to a Fifth-Rank Cultivation Method, it would require a big detour.

“Seems like I’ll have to look for those Secret Lands and Blessed Lands that might contain Primordial Magnetic Spiritual Power.”

He thought to himself and shook his head, rejecting the Fifth-Rank Cultivation Method mentioned by the short, plump elder.

“As for the Gold Spirit Soil, a subsidiary department more than three thousand miles away happens to have a Mysterious Gold Rock. Previously, a cultivator found a Mysterious Gold Ore Mine and dug out many Fourth-Grade Mysterious Gold Crystal Stones from it.”

“There are still quite a few fragments of Mysterious Gold Crystal Stones in that piece of Mysterious Gold Rock. Their extraction, however, is not easy, so they’ve all been left in the rock.”

Seeing that Lu Xuan was not interested in the Fifth-Rank Cultivation Method, the short, plump elder changed the subject.

“Mysterious Gold Rock? I am interested in purchasing it. Could Li Dao You manage to have it transferred from the subsidiary department?”

A thought struck Lu Xuan, and he asked the short, plump elder.

“Your request will naturally be fulfilled, my fellow Daoist. However, the transfer schedule between the subsidiary departments is fixed. The next one is due to arrive in five days, so I would ask for your patience.”

Although three thousand miles isn’t a long distance, the treasure ship of Wanbao Building, which transports cultivators and goods, won’t cater to a single person and won’t easily change its operating routine.

“I have no problem with that.”

“Will there be an additional fee in spirit stones for the transportation?”

He asked the elder.

“Since we are utilizing the treasure ship for delivery, there’s no need for you to pay extra spirit stones.”

The short, plump elder responded with a smile.

Although the cultivator standing before him was plain in appearance, he was able to produce five Foundation Establishment Pills in one go, indicating his profound background. The elder had the intention to befriend Lu Xuan.

“Then I’ll come back to collect the Mysterious Gold Rock at the designated time.”

Without lingering any longer, Lu Xuan left a statement and departed gracefully.

A few breaths after his departure, a slender woman wrapped in a mask entered the room silently.

“Senior Brother, should we follow and probe that cultivator who had Foundation Establishment Pills? We might be able to get the formula for Foundation Establishment Pill from him.”

The woman moved her lips, transmitting her voice to the short, plump elder.

The elder shook his head, his tone firm.

“There’s no need to resort to that kind of underhanded tactic.”

“Moreover, being able to break through the restrictions of the sect and take out as many as five Foundation Establishment Pills at once, he must have a significant background.”

“He is likely an Alchemy Master from the Sky Sword Sect, fattening his private purse by swallowing the Foundation Establishment Pills he produced.”

“Or he’s a cultivator from another sect, intentionally creating confusion by running to Sword Gate Town to distract others.”

“But no matter what, five Foundation Establishment Pills are not something an ordinary cultivator can put his hands on. It’s better to avoid petty tricks.”

“If we offend him because of this, we are likely to lose a major customer.”

The short plump elder spoke solemnly.

“Senior Brother speaks wisely.”

The slender woman gently nodded and disappeared into the shadows.

Lu Xuan paced down Qing Shi Street of Sword Gate Town, occasionally looking at the palm of his hand.

Curled up in the center of his palm was an extremely hidden pale pupil, scenes of various landscapes were floating in the eye, which was none other than the view around Lu Xuan.

In the sky, the Void Nightmare Eye appeared and disappeared occasionally, hovering around Lu Xuan.

After confirming nothing out of the ordinary, Lu Xuan recalled his Void Nightmare Eye and returned to the Underworld Courtyard.

Here in the courtyard, he never left the place, and he spent each day cultivating the numerous Underworld Spiritual Plants.

As five days passed in the blink of an eye, he once again arrived near the Wanbao Building.

The short, plump elder was waiting eagerly at the front door. Seeing Lu Xuan, a big smile crossed his face and he warmly greeted him from afar.

“Fellow Daoist, we haven’t seen each other for several days, yet you remain as impressive as ever.”

He greeted Lu Xuan courteously and the two of them entered the third floor of the Wanbao Building.

“Thankfully, I was able to accomplish the task and have transported the Mysterious Gold Rock from the other departments.”

Once Lu Xuan settled down, the short, plump elder told him with a smile.

“Please, Li Dao You, bring it out for me to have a look.”

Lu Xuan was deeply interested in the Gold Spirit Rock.

“Alright.”

With a wave of the short, plump elder’s hand, a piece of enormous rock fell into the middle of the room, causing the house to tremble slightly.

The rock was roughly twenty feet long and about ten feet wide, with a thickness of about two feet. The dull-yellow rock sparkled with gold, resembling numerous dazzling gems embedded.

Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense seeped into it, immediately sensing a thick wave of Gold Spirit Power.

“It indeed is Gold Spirit Soil.”

A smile crept up on his face.

With this piece of Mysterious Gold Rock, the soil needed for the Class 5 White Bone Killing Sword Grass at least has been resolved, enough for it to take root and sprout.

“Li Dao You, how many spirit stones is this piece of Mysterious Gold Rock going to cost?”

“Since there are still quite a few little Mysterious Gold Crystal Stones in the rock, and if they are carefully sifted out, they can definitely be used to refine a Four-level Magical Tool. If you would like to buy it, fellow Daoist, then it would cost three thousand five hundred spirit stones.”

The elder thought for a moment, then said.

“Li Dao You, this is not very fair of you. There truly are quite a few Mysterious Gold Crystal Stones in this rock, but if it were easy to sift them out, they wouldn’t have ended up in my hands.”

Lu Xuan spoke at ease.

“Regarding the possible refinement of a magic tool, depending on the spirit ores, perhaps it could only be used to forge a dagger or some golden needles.”

“Three thousand spirit stones, considering that Li Dao You has gone through the trouble to bring it here.”

The short, plump elder sighed in frustration upon hearing these words.

“Your eye for detail is indeed extraordinary, fellow Daoist. Three thousand spirit stones it is, consider it an investment in our friendship.”

“In the future, if there are any good treasures available, feel free to come to Wanbao Building for trading. Our prices are fair, with neither deceit nor discrimination.”

He handed over the gigantic dull-yellow rock to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan was quite satisfied with this price. He immediately took out thirty middle-grade spirit stones and, after the elder confirmed them, he took possession of the heavily weighed Mysterious Gold Rock.

He left the Wanbao Building and returned to the Underworld Courtyard once again.

After several days of attentive cultivation, the Spirit of Flesh, which had eaten enough Demon Beast Meat, was about to gestate.
