However, this palm-sized cauldron can only plant three spiritual herbs at most, but it's still better than nothing.
He hid it in a secret compartment of his cave dwelling, so that even if a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator came, he might not be able to find it, let alone himself.
"A magical artifact!" After calming down, Lu Xuan realized that what he needed most right now was a magical artifact.
Without a single magical artifact, even the notorious black-handed demon Xu Yifan could easily subdue him.
However, even a low-grade magic weapon costs at least several dozen spirit stones.
Lu Xuan had no choice but to temporarily abandon his idea of going out and continue to hone his Qi Refining Level 3 cultivation.
Another month or so has passed.
That day, Lu Xuan stopped cultivating and, feeling utterly bored, took out the palm-sized bronze cauldron.
To everyone's surprise, the green rust on the bronze tripod had disappeared.
The three spiritual herbs planted inside matured completely in just one month!
"How could this be? Could this bronze cauldron have the effect of accelerating the ripening of spiritual herbs?"
What does this mean? The three Cloud Spirit Grasses that were planted would take ten years to fully mature and would also require a specific place with abundant spiritual energy. Yet, this bronze cauldron suddenly achieved a growth rate of almost a hundred times.
Unfortunately, only three trees can be planted at a time.
However, this mature Cloud Spirit Grass is worth at least five spirit stones, and Lu Xuan was overjoyed.
Three spirit stones equal fifteen spirit stones! That might be enough to buy a low-grade magic weapon.
Tsk tsk.
Lu Xuan had previously planned to plant spiritual herbs to exchange for spirit stones, but cultivating spiritual herbs was too difficult. It required excellent spiritual fields and protection against spiritual insects. In particular, the growth time of spiritual herbs was too slow, often taking several years or even decades.
Lu Xuan simply couldn't afford the expense, so the original owner's attempts to cultivate spiritual herbs all ended in failure.
Now that he had this precious cauldron, although he could only plant three at a time, the mature herbs would still yield a large sum of spirit stones. As for planting higher-grade spirit herbs, Lu Xuan had considered it, but the cauldron's spiritual power was clearly limited, and it was no longer producing black soil. For now, ripening three low-grade spirit herbs was the limit; perhaps he could improve the cauldron's abilities in the future.
the next day.
Lu Xuan carefully hid the treasure cauldron, activated the restriction token, and closed the cave door. Then, he used the Wind Control Technique to greatly increase his speed and head towards the Red Leaf Market five miles away.
The Wind Control Technique is a spell that comes with the third level of Qi Refining. After it is cast, the cultivator is as if he is being swept up by a gale, and his speed is extremely fast. Although it is not as good as a low-grade flying magic weapon, it is still a peerless lightness skill that far surpasses that of ordinary martial artists.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lu Xuan had already arrived at Red Leaf Market.
After turning through several alleys and finding no one following him, Lu Xuan arrived at a [Spirit Herb Pavilion].
"Mature Cloud Spirit Grass, not bad, not bad, the quality is excellent. Fellow Daoist is really lucky, you must have found it in Cloud Dream Mountain!"
Lu Xuan nodded calmly.
Seeing this, the other party wisely took out twenty spirit stones and handed them to Lu Xuan.
Twenty? Lu Xuan didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
A moment later, after inquiring, I learned that, as expected, the supply of Cloud Spirit Grass had recently fallen short of demand, and the price had risen considerably.
No wonder three Cloud Spirit Grasses can be exchanged for twenty spirit stones.
Lu Xuan, disregarding his joy, arrived at the Wanbao Pavilion, which he had longed for.
It was the old shopkeeper who came to greet them again.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on breaking through to the third level of Qi Refining. It seems you can join the Loose Cultivator Alliance and achieve great success."
"Hehe, it's not that easy. Going to the Loose Cultivator Alliance is just a helpless and risky path." Lu Xuan was very clear-headed and shook his head lightly. He currently had twenty-two spirit stones, which might be enough to buy a low-grade magic weapon.
Upon learning of Lu Xuan's purpose, the old shopkeeper, who was at the third level of Qi Refining, was overjoyed and quickly invited Lu Xuan upstairs!
"Open the treasure pavilion for low-grade magic artifacts," the old shopkeeper instructed a beautiful female cultivator in purple robes standing nearby.
"Yes." The purple-clad female cultivator opened the low-grade magic artifact treasure pavilion she was in charge of.
Inside, there were more than a dozen dazzling low-grade magical artifacts.
The old shopkeeper was now enthusiastically introducing the products:
"A low-grade magic weapon, the Golden Light Spear, and twenty-eight spirit stones."
"A low-grade magical artifact, an ancient bronze halberd, costing fifty-seven spirit stones!"
"A low-grade magic artifact, the Bewitching Banner, worth eighty spirit stones."
"Low-grade magic weapon, the Sea-Suppressing Cudgel, thirty spirit stones."
"The low-grade magic weapon, the Five Poisons Blood-Transforming Blade, costs twenty spirit stones..."
"Wait, could this be a demonic cultivator's magical artifact?" Lu Xuan asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, the old shopkeeper explained:
"That's right, it's a low-grade magic artifact that my good-for-nothing eldest disciple obtained by chance after killing one of that evil monk's disciples a few days ago."
"I see."
Lu Xuan nodded. He knew that Wanbaoge was the property of the Red Leaf Ancestor, and the old manager was also a disciple of the Red Leaf Ancestor, so he wasn't afraid of the evil monk's revenge.
"It's really good to have a big tree to lean on!" Lu Xuan thought to himself.
"May I ask if I may? Your esteemed master, Ancestor Red Leaf, has been in seclusion for many years. Surely he has already successfully established his foundation?" Lu Xuan asked tentatively with a calm expression.
The old shopkeeper didn't think much of it; people often asked him about this, so he answered without hesitation:
"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I am merely a nominal disciple of Ancestor Hongye, managing this business on his behalf. How would I know anything about Ancestor Hongye's situation? Furthermore, the Ancestor has been in seclusion for many years, and very few cultivators know the true situation. As far as I know, Foundation Establishment is very difficult, not so easy. You must also know that our Hongye Market has not produced a Foundation Establishment cultivator for fifty years, otherwise those evil sects wouldn't be able to run rampant outside the market."
"Yes, thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist."
After careful consideration, Lu Xuan selected a defensive magic artifact.
The low-grade magic weapon, the [Mystic Yuan Shield], is priced at twenty-three spirit stones. Crafted from the shell of a thousand-year-old Black Water Mystic Turtle, it can even withstand attacks from mid-grade magic weapons.
Immediately afterward, Lu Xuan pleaded with the other party to give him another low-grade attack talisman, the same [Golden Light Talisman].
Put away your ritual implements and leave Red Leaf Market.
Soon, Lu Xuan returned to the front of the cave and sneered:
"Xu Yifan, the Black Hand Demon, are you still not giving up? Since you're here, then come out!"
Now that Lu Xuan has the Xuan Yuan Shield, he is naturally not afraid of Xu Yifan, who is also a third-level Qi Refining evil cultivator.
"Hahaha!"
As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, the evil cultivator Black Hand Mo Xu Yifan appeared. He had intended to take advantage of the moment when Lu Xuan opened the cave to launch a sneak attack, but Lu Xuan saw through his plan with ease.
