Chapter 25 - 24 Breaking the Way of Worship_1



The two entered the pharmacy.

It was only after entering that Lu Xuan finally spoke, asking the question that had been bothering him.

“Manager He, what on earth is going on? You’ve got me all confused.”

“The main issue was that the young miss happened to be here, so things got a little rushed.”

The skinny old man gestured towards the inner room with his mouth and pulled Lu Xuan into a corner.

“You know who’s behind ‘Bai Cao Tang’, right? One of the most famous alchemists in Linyang Market.”

“The young lady you just saw is his granddaughter. She’s extraordinarily gifted, and at your age, she has already reached the mid-stage of Qi cultivation. She is greatly favored by the master and has the authority to handle most of the affairs within ‘Bai Cao Tang’.”

“I see.”

Lu Xuan nodded his head in understanding after Manager He’s explanation.

“But what’s the deal with that Blood Jade Ginseng?”

“After all, you’re just a no-organization Spirit Plant Master. Miss doesn’t trust you enough, so she could only give you some average-quality spiritual seeds to help plant.”

“However, I believe in your strength, and soon, you’ll be as strong as the powerful Spirit Plant Masters in ‘Bai Cao Tang’.”

“As for that Blood Jade Ginseng I mentioned earlier, I was worried that you wouldn’t know which spiritual plants to choose and make a wrong decision, so I took it upon myself to help you decide. I hope you don’t mind.”

Lu Xuan quickly shook his head.

“I should be thanking you, why would I mind?”

He had had many interactions with Manager He and could clearly sense his kindness towards him.

“Of all the First Grade spirit seeds, the Blood Jade Ginseng has the lowest requirements for the spiritual energy of the spirit field, and it’s easy to cultivate. Moreover, when Baicaotang recycles them, the price is fairly good. It’s considered the most cost-effective among those spiritual plants.”

“The only downside is that the cultivation process is a bit tedious. But I know you focus on planting spiritual plants and don’t put much thought into cultivation, so it’s just perfect for you.”

Given Lu Xuan’s rapid progress in cultivating spiritual plants and his confession to the old man about focusing on planting spiritual plants, Manager He decided to choose Blood Jade Ginseng for him from the First Grade spiritual plants after weighing the options.

Lu Xuan remained indifferent to the skinny old man treating him as an ordinary Qi Cultivation Second Layer Spirit Plant Master.

“Thank you, Old Mr. He! I don’t know how I can repay you!”

He grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

“How about providing these spiritual plants for a lower price?”

Manager He squinted his eyes, with a cunning smile appearing on his wrinkled face.

“No way. The bond between us can’t be measured by mere spirit stones.”

Lu Xuan flatly rejected him with a righteous tone.

“I knew you value spirit stones more than life. Now, take them out and let’s see.”

Lu Xuan took out the mature Moon Erosion Fruits and Spirit Firefly Grass from his cloth bag.

He had hidden his storage bag and didn’t bring it out.

“In total, there are fourteen Moon Erosion Fruits, among which twelve are of good quality and two of superior quality.”

“The quantity of Spirit Firefly Grass is not much, only ten stalks, but among them three stalks are superior quality, and the rest are good quality. Manager He, please calculate the price.”

“Indeed, I didn’t misjudge you. You have a natural talent for cultivating spiritual plants.”

Upon seeing the mature spiritual plants that Lu Xuan had pulled out, all of which were at least of good quality, the skinny old man was no longer surprised. While he was inspecting the quality of the spiritual plants, he sighed and said.

“Moon Erosion Fruits of good quality cost one spirit stone and ten broken spirits each. Superior quality adds twenty broken spirits, totaling fifteen spirit stones and eighty broken spirits.”

“Spirit Firefly Grass of good quality cost three spirit stones and fifty broken spirits per stalk. Superior quality adds twenty broken spirits, totaling thirty-five spirit stones and sixty broken spirits.”

“The combined value of the two types of spiritual plants is fifty-one spirit stones and forty broken spirits.”

Manager He took out a small pile of spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan gladly accepted. Although the spiritual stones he earned from planting spiritual plants were much less than what he got from helping the loose cultivators clear away pests and the entirety of Qin Ming’s properties, he would rather choose the former.

Not for anything else, but for peace of mind.

After dealing with this batch of mature spiritual plants, there were only ten Spirit Firefly Grass left in the small courtyard.

Looking at the current state, Lu Xuan estimated that they would all mature in a few days, just before the switchover with the new loose cultivator tenant.

“Old Mr. He, didn’t you say before that you would sell spiritual seeds to me at a lower price after we established cooperation?”

Unable to suppress his desire for new spiritual seeds, he asked the slender old man.

“How much space can you free up in your small courtyard after planting Spirit Firefly Grass and Moon Erosion Tree?”

“I rented a new courtyard not long ago. There’s a Spirit Field in it, which is much bigger than before. I can plant quite a few spiritual plants!”

“I didn’t expect you to have saved so much spirit stones! No wonder you always fight for every penny when you come to Bai Cao Tang.”

Manager He thought that Lu Xuan had saved enough spiritual stones through thrift. He never thought Lu Xuan would rent a courtyard with a spiritual spring. After joking, He took Lu Xuan into a side room.

After greeting a middle-aged cultivator inside, he said to Lu Xuan.

“Bai Cao Tang has its own source of spiritual seeds, which are 10-20% cheaper than buying outside.”

“Spirit Firefly grass seeds cost thirty broken spirits each. Due to being a first-grade spiritual plant, Blood Jade Ginseng is much more expensive, four spiritual stones each.”

Lu Xuan compared the prices with those he had purchased spiritual seeds before.

Months ago, he had bought Spirit Firefly Grass seeds for forty broken spirits each. In Bai Cao Tang they were thirty each, more than 20% cheaper.

As for Blood Jade Ginseng seeds, he hadn’t bought them before, so he could only compare them with the price of Red Cloud Pine that he bought at that time.

Red Cloud Pine cost five spirit stones, while Blood Jade Ginseng seeds costs four, also much cheaper.

He immediately felt like he had made a huge profit!

“Then, I want a hundred Spirit Firefly Grass seeds and twenty Blood Jade Ginseng seeds.”

Of the two types of mature plants, only the Spirit Firefly Grass could reward him with cultivation level upgrades, so he planned to plant more of them.

On the surface, he seemed to have given up cultivation and became a spirit plant master dedicated to farming. His actual desire for power, however, was still strong.

After all, in such a cultivation world where strength was respected, being powerful would guarantee more security and freedom.

The spiritual stones he had just earned were spent in an instant.

With the spiritual seeds he had obtained in his hands, Lu Xuan sighed with emotion inside.

Back at his new yard, Lu Xuan controlled the array plate to open the formation, coming to the Spirit Field in the backyard.

From Manager He’s instructions, he understood that Blood Jade Ginseng spirit seed needed to be preserved in a special way, and they had to be planted as soon as they were taken out, otherwise their lifeforce would quickly fade away.

Without delay, he took out a flat and elongated jade box, and removed a small charm that was stuck on it.

Upon opening the jade box, twenty bright red seeds that looked like jade stones came into view. Each seed was surrounded by a light red mist and had a faint icy feeling.

This was also a method to slow down the loss of life force of the Blood Jade Ginseng spirit seed.

Lu Xuan quickly took the spirit seeds out of the jade box, activating his spiritual power.

Under the pull of the Earth Pulling Technique, fine cracks immediately formed in the Spirit Field in front of him.

“Blood Jade Ginseng, a first-grade spiritual plant. When mature, it can be used as the main ingredient for most low-grade Qi blood elixirs.”

“Whether it’s the seed or the grown Ginseng, they’re restless and fluid, slowly moving freely in the spirit soil. If they sense the presence of others of the same kind, they will attract each other. After staying together for a long time, they will vie for each other’s vitality until one of them withers.”

With his focused mind, Lu Xuan understood the details about Blood Jade Ginseng.

“This Blood Jade Ginseng is kind of unruly…”

He couldn’t help but remark.
