Chapter 153 Underworld Package Hidden Winged Cicada
"Junior Brother Lu asked for your concern. Overall, it went smoothly."
"It's just that there was a little accident in the middle. There is an evil sect behind the evil spirits in the city. However, the evil cultivators that were attracted were solved by me and several senior brothers and sisters."
"Two people were injured. Fortunately, it was not serious. In addition to the mission reward, we also gained a lot. The minor injuries were worth it."
Xu Shaoze replied with a smile on his resolute face.
"Is there an evil cultivator behind the evil spirit? That is indeed dangerous. Fortunately, you are all fine."
Lu Xuan sighed with emotion.
"Danger and opportunity often coexist, and it is their appearance that gives us extra gains."
"In addition, this kind of experience of fighting for a chance of survival in a life-and-death struggle can also further improve one's cultivation."
A hint of envy appeared in Lu Xuan's eyes at the right time.
"I really envy you, Senior Brother Xu. You can have such rich and colorful experiences, cleanse evil spirits, kill evil cultivators, and thus obtain various cultivation resources."
"Unlike me, I am cautious by nature. I only dare to stay in the sect, grow spiritual plants, and raise spiritual beasts."
"Get various treasure rewards."
Of course, the last sentence was what Lu Xuan added in his heart, and what appeared in front of Xu Shaoze was full of his envy.
The two chatted for a while, and then Xu Shaoze said goodbye and left.
Lu Xuan returned to the house, had dinner, practiced the exercises for a while, and slept in his clothes.
The next day, after taking care of the spiritual plants in the spiritual field, Lu Xuan came to Jianmen Town.
Under the giant sword that is a hundred feet high, there is a wide bluestone square.
The square was very lively, with many monks setting up stalls on it.
Among these monks, there were outer disciples of the Tianjian Sect, as well as vassals of disciples within the sect with extraordinary backgrounds, and most of them were casual cultivators who came here because of their fame or who had entered by chance.
Lu Xuan walked slowly among the many stalls, carefully searching for the target.
He came out this time mainly to inspect and plant the three kinds of evil spirit plants in the rented courtyard, and to see if there were any nutrients they needed, including the eggs needed by the black insect vine. Of course, he could encounter one. An unknown high-level spiritual species would be the best.
The three types of underworld spiritual plants require resentful souls, bones, and vivid eyes respectively.
Skeletons and live eyes are relatively easy to solve and can be obtained from the body of the monster.
The resentful soul is the most difficult. After all, Jianmen Town is not far from Tianjian Sect. No evil cultivator dares to come here to take a look. Everyone who comes and goes is upright, at least on the surface.
"Excuse me, friend, where does this monster come from?"
Lu Xuan pointed at a complete monster corpse on the stall and said.
The corpse was relatively well preserved, and the rudimentary shape of the leopard could be seen. There were purple lines on the hide, and the blood on the wound had just solidified not long ago, which showed how fresh the corpse was.
"This is a purple clouded leopard, a first-class demonic beast. It is extremely fast. I set a trap with fellow monks to catch one. It's a pity that it was already seriously injured and dying when I caught it."
The stall owner was a slightly fat young man. When he saw the attire of an outer disciple of Lu Xuantian Sword Sect, his expression became serious and he hurriedly replied.
"First-grade monster purple clouded leopard."
Lu Xuan nodded lightly. As the Hundred-Eyed Tree grows, its need for pupils is getting higher and higher. Fortunately, it is still in the early stages of growth, and the pupils of a first-grade monster are enough.
"I want the whole body of the Purple Clouded Leopard, as well as its pair of eyes. Fellow Taoist, please give me a price."
Lu Xuan said calmly.
"Full body bones and eye pupils?"
The slightly fat young man was stunned at first, then became happy.
Lu Xuan's request made him feel strange at first, but it immediately turned into a surprise.
After all, among the purple clouded leopard corpses, the most valuable ones are the hide, blood and monster meat. The bones are slightly less valuable, not to mention the eyes.
Only for some special and rare monsters, the eyes would be the most valuable material on their body.
"If fellow Taoist want it, twenty spirit stones can take away the bones and eyes of the Purple Cloud Leopard."
He tentatively told Lu Xuan that in previous contacts, the Tianjian Sect monks had always been generous with their actions, so he slightly raised the price, but he did not dare to make it too obvious. After all, the gap in status was too big, and he was afraid of causing trouble.
"Twenty spirit stones?" Lu Xuan's expression turned cold.
"Do you think I don't know the market price of materials?"
"This Purple Clouded Leopard is just a first-grade monster. It has a maximum of sixty spirit stones when its entire body is full of materials. The bones are the less valuable part."
"As for the eyeballs, they don't have much use at all. I just have a hobby of collecting them."
"Ten spirit stones."
Although he currently has more than 1,800 spiritual stones, Lu Xuan cut off half of them in order to save a little bit.
After some haggling, Lu Xuan finally got the bones and eyes of the Purple Clouded Leopard for the price of twelve spirit stones.
After taking it, he continued to browse the stalls. During this period, he also found the skeleton of a second-grade monster with most of its body, and finally bought it for thirty spirit stones.
"Last time, the third-grade armored cow skeleton was enough for the thorn bone to absorb for a long time. Now I bought two fresh skeletons, which can be regarded as a side dish for it."
"It's a pity that the spiritual plants in the yard only need resentful souls, bones, and pupils. When can we get some other spiritual plants from the underworld?"
"At that time, all the blood, animal meat, bones, souls, hair, etc. will be used, and no one will be left behind to put together a set meal for the underworld."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but think deep in his heart. He did not continue to buy monster bones and concentrated on searching for fresh eyes.
It is relatively rare to bring complete monster corpses to Jianmen Town. In addition, Lu Xuan's luck was average and he was unable to find fresh eyeballs. Fortunately, he found a special stall.
The stall owner is a young man with a sinister face. There are some strange things on the stall, including strange insect corpses soaked in various liquids, strange materials obtained from demonic insects, and some strange-shaped insect eggs.
"Fellow Taoist, I wonder how to sell these hidden-winged cicada eggs?"
Lu Xuan pointed to a branch and said. Between the branches, you can find seven or eight insect eggs the size of the tip of your little finger. The eggs are elongated and pale white. At first glance, they look like grains of spiritual rice.
He had seen this type of insect eggs in the "Insect Classic", which could hatch into a first-class demon insect, the Hidden-winged Cicada, which is a molting demon insect and meets the needs of the Black Insect Vine.
"Twenty spirit stones."
The sinister-looking stall owner looked up at Lu Xuan, a little surprised at how well he understood the eggs of the hidden-winged cicada, and replied coldly.
"Fifteen spiritual stones, take this branch away, fellow Taoist, what do you think?"
The sinister young man said nothing, shook his head and closed his eyes.
"Eighteen spirit stones, this price is already very fair. If fellow Taoist don't agree, then I have no choice but to give up. Anyway, it's only seven or eight first-grade demon insect eggs."
Lu Xuan kept testing the young man's bottom line.
"good."
The sinister young man opened his eyes and nodded in agreement.
