Chapter 204: Obtaining Seeds

Lu Xuan's figure floated like a phantom, drifting towards a massive stone mountain.

He lowered his head to glance at the invitation cards in his hand, adorned with numerous runes. All the runes lit up, with the center, near the stone mountain, shining the brightest.

Additionally, there was an arrow pointing towards the stone mountain, indicating it as the final location of the Treasure Exchange Conference.

The surface of the stone mountain appeared desolate, but when explored with divine sense, one could sense hidden mysteries inside.

Lu Xuan observed from all sides and slowly approached the stone mountain.

At this moment, he looked different from usual, wearing a bronze mask obtained from a casual vendor, allowing him to disguise his appearance and resist certain levels of divine sense probing.

In front of the vertical stone wall of the mountain, there was a tall stone door guarded by two Qi Cultivators with smiles, welcoming the participants of the Treasure Exchange.

Lu Xuan observed silently and approached the two. After confirming the authenticity of his invitation and his cultivation level, they respectfully ushered him inside the stone door.

Moments later, he reached the base of the stone mountain.

Inside was a spacious hall hidden deep within the mountain, equipped with powerful formations.

At this moment, there were already over a hundred cultivators inside, as estimated by Lu Xuan with a quick glance.

Among the cultivators, most were in the later stages of Qi Cultivation or at the Qi Cultivation completion stage. There were around thirty with Foundation Establishment cultivation, and among them, two radiated profound energy, possibly having cultivation at the later stages of Foundation Establishment.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that some cultivators intentionally hid their cultivation, just like Lu Xuan, who possessed a third-grade Concealing Spirit Robe capable of concealing his form and divine energy.

However, due to his plan to exchange for a fifth-grade Holy Infant Fruit spirit seed, he didn't conceal his cultivation. After all, if a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation stage were to obtain a fifth-grade spirit seed, it might invite trouble and create complications.

Lu Xuan found a stone chair and sat down, closing his eyes to rest, patiently waiting for the conference to begin.

On the way, he used his updated identity token as an inner disciple to sense his surroundings. He vaguely sensed the familiar aura of five individuals among the cultivators present, easing his initial wariness.

"The upgraded identity token is indeed remarkable. It can detect the presence of fellow disciples nearby. While it can't pinpoint their exact locations, having this many fellow disciples around is already quite good."

"If anything unexpected happens, I can call upon them, and with five fellow disciples, let's see who would dare to harbor ill intentions towards us."

Lu Xuan once again experienced the strength of the sect and sighed inwardly.

After about half an hour, all the cultivators had gathered.

A plump cultivator stepped onto the stage in the hall.

He cleared his throat, and the audience quickly quieted down.

"Welcome, fellow cultivators who have traveled from afar to participate in this Treasure Exchange Conference."

"Allow me to briefly explain the rules to avoid unnecessary conflicts."

"Each cultivator can go on stage, showcase the treasures in their possession, state the grade, type, and what they are looking for in exchange. This will be done in a round-robin fashion, and then we will enter the free exchange phase. You can communicate privately, invite third-party cultivators, and exchange treasures as you wish."

"Of course, the most important rule is that there should be no forced transactions. Both parties must willingly agree."

"If someone attempts to coerce others into exchanging treasures, it not only disrespects our Wondrous Treasures Tower but also risks facing our strong array and the assistance of my Foundation Establishment friends. So, I suggest you weigh your own capabilities before causing trouble."

After introducing the rules, the plump cultivator descended from the stage, leaving the floor to the cultivators below.

Soon, someone rushed to the stage, marking the beginning of the Treasure Exchange Conference.

Lu Xuan sat in the corner, silently observing the proceedings on and off the stage.

As more cultivators took the stage, a variety of treasures were showcased, including some of third and fourth-grade quality that caught Lu Xuan's interest.

The treasures mainly consisted of magical tools, elixirs, talismans, and a significant number of materials from spiritual plants and demonic beasts. Additionally, there were many peculiar and strange items.

As for what Lu Xuan was most concerned about – spiritual seeds, young spiritual plants, demonic beast embryos, and young beasts – they occasionally appeared but failed to meet his satisfaction.

Third-grade spiritual seeds appeared twice, but they were merely ordinary seeds commonly found in the cultivation world, which Lu Xuan remembered from the records in the Alchemy Pavilion, accessible for a few spirit stones.

Demonic beast embryos and young beasts were even rarer to come by. Only one cultivator at the Qi Cultivation completion stage displayed a second-grade young demonic beast, but there were a few complete third-grade demonic beast bodies that piqued his interest.

As more cultivators went on stage, soon, only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators were left to showcase their treasures.

A lean cultivator flew to the stage, taking out a peculiar spiritual seed from his storage bag.

The seed resembled an embryo, and inside it seemed to curl a baby, with a gray-black, shriveled, and small figure motionless within.

When Lu Xuan tried to take a closer look, the scene within the seed changed. The infant inside gradually blurred, as if the previous sight was illusory.

"Holy Infant Fruit spiritual seed, a fifth-grade spiritual plant. It is rumored that the fruit it bears resembles a baby and can be used as a top-grade material for refining an external avatar."

"As this spiritual seed has the lowest value among treasures of the same grade, it can be exchanged for a fourth-grade treasure. Rare third-grade treasures may also be considered."

The lean cultivator's voice just fell, and there was a commotion among the Qi Cultivators below. For those still in the Qi Cultivation realm, the fifth grade corresponded to the unattainable Foundation Establishment realm. Thus, the perceived value of the Holy Infant Fruit skyrocketed in their minds.

Unfortunately, at their weakest stage, encountering the most desired treasure, they could only sigh softly due to their lack of power.

"Fellow cultivator, you're a bit unscrupulous."

"The Holy Infant Fruit is indeed a fifth-grade spiritual seed, but you concealed the sinister nature of this spiritual plant. If it's obtained by a cultivator who doesn't understand its true nature, it might lead to significant losses."

A light, ethereal voice echoed from below.

"Who?!"

The lean cultivator's face changed drastically, and he scanned the area below with his divine sense.

However, the person who spoke had cultivation no weaker than his own, making it impossible to find them easily. He had to give up.

"I indeed didn't explain it clearly. According to rumors, the Holy Infant Fruit has some evil characteristics. Many cultivators who planted it ended up disappearing or meeting tragic ends. Of course, this is just hearsay with low credibility."

The exposed lean cultivator found it challenging to come down from the stage, took a deep breath, and tried to justify himself.

He waited quietly on the stage. Among the many Qi Cultiv

ators below, there weren't many with a habit of cultivating spiritual plants; most focused on alchemy and refining tools.

The few Foundation Establishment cultivators interested in bidding didn't have the confidence to cultivate it, coupled with the sinister rumors surrounding the Holy Infant Fruit. Therefore, although it was a fifth-grade spiritual seed, there weren't many cultivators willing to bid.

Only three to five individuals made offers, with the highest being a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator attempting to exchange it for an intact fourth-grade demonic beast skeleton.

The lean cultivator hesitated, and at this moment, a voice reached his ears.

"Fellow cultivator, I have a long piece of third-grade Dragonvine and a high-quality third-grade Purification Talisman. How about exchanging them for your Holy Infant Fruit spiritual seed?"

"A fifth-grade spiritual seed in exchange for two third-grade treasures, I am at a loss."

The lean old man compared them and directly refused.

"The value of the Holy Infant Fruit spiritual seed is clear to you. What you can get in exchange is already quite good."

"Alright, let me add a third-grade Purification Talisman. If fellow cultivator still disagrees, then we'll call it off."

Lu Xuan smiled and transmitted his voice from below.

"Good, it's a deal."

Hearing the response from the lean cultivator, he revealed a satisfied expression.
