Chapter 495: 493 Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting_1
Regarding essence blood, he had a significant stockpile. Although the Blood Scourge Flower required much more than before, there were plenty of Jiaolong and Chilong in Thousand Dragon Lake to draw from, which could last quite a while.
However, given the rate of consumption, Lu Xuan began to feel a sense of crisis.
“When I get a chance, I’ll have to give those Jiaolong juveniles a health check.”
“This time, I can try to target some high-level users and extract essence blood from third-grade and higher Jiaolong and Chilong.”
He decided in his heart.
The most severe shortage was in the flesh and blood of demon beasts.
Mainly due to the loss of access to the Forbidden Area of Ten Thousand Demons.
After completing the task of taking control of the blessed land, he had not had a good opportunity to return to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, so he could not obtain sufficient flesh and blood scraps from the demon beasts.
Lu Xuan had considered enlisting the help of the Little White Ape and Luan Bird to bring some out. However, he eventually decided not to.
Firstly, those creatures struggled to enter the forbidden area and could not take the flesh and blood scraps for themselves like Lu Xuan could at the right opportunities. Also, bringing out large quantities of demon beast flesh would arouse the suspicion of True Man Cang Wu.
If he were to collect it himself, that would be equally challenging.
The stalls and some shops in Sword Gate Town did sell demon beast flesh, but in limited quantities. Most of them were from first or second-grade beasts, which was barely scratching the surface for the Spirit of Flesh.
Additionally, the Thousand Worm Hands and the Strange Longevity Peach were also big consumers of meat. The amount of flesh required by these three strange spirit plants was substantial.
As for the Yin Souls and Resentful Will, the Yin Cry Wood was fine. It was recently planted, and the Soul Lantern was full of resentful spirits of demon beasts absorbed from the Forbidden Area of Ten Thousand Demons.
However, the Holy Baby Fruit was different. During its growth, it needed to absorb the souls and resentful willed of unjustly killed infants. The Wood Infant obtained earlier had almost been drained dry.
“It’s pitiful for me, a righteous path cultivator, to be worried about getting large amounts of flesh, souls, and essence blood…”
Lu Xuan gave a bitter smile and left the Underworld Court.
Walking down the Qing Shi Street in Sword Gate Town, he carefully observed the goods on both sides, especially those involving the flesh of demon beasts.
Unfortunately, he saw no satisfactory results.
“In the future, when cultivating Blood Scourge Flowers and Spirit of Flesh and the like, I should focus on obtaining quality over quantity. The essence blood and beast flesh of a single fourth-grade demon beast could produce results surpassing those of the flesh of hundreds of second-grade beasts.”
As his thoughts wandered, he found himself unintentionally at the Wanbao Building.
“There should be more high-grade demon beast flesh in the Wanbao Building.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself, letting loose a subtle aura of a foundation establishment mid-term cultivator and entered the Wanbao Building with a poker face.
“Sir, this way, please.”
Upon entering the hall, a friendly-looking, short, chubby elderly man appeared in front of Lu Xuan, being hospitable.
The elder was the owner of the Wanbao Building branch in Sword Gate Town. His surname was Li, and Lu Xuan had dealt with him on several occasions.
However, with his new appearance, Li naturally did not recognize him.
“May I ask what you require from the Wanbao Building?”
The short, chubby elder guided Lu Xuan to an elegant room upstairs. As soon as they settled down, a charming woman cultivator brought in the spiritual fruit spiritual tea in order.
“I need some demon beast flesh; the higher grade, the better.”
Lu Xuan said coldly, keeping his expression neutral.
“High-grade demon beast flesh? Please wait.”
Upon hearing this, the chubby elder saluted Lu Xuan with a fist and hand salute, then left the room.
Soon after, he came before Lu Xuan holding a beautifully crafted jade plate.
On the jade plate, various shapes of demon beast’s flesh and blood were displayed, rich in spiritual power, clearly not ordinary items at first glance.
“Dear friend, this is an essence blood from a fourth-grade Cold Dragon. It can be used for cultivation of body refinement techniques and can also be used to create fourth-grade talismans.”
“And this, is a piece of Feiyun Scorpion Demon Bug’s flesh and blood, extremely rare, an excellent supplement for cultivators.”
“This is…”
The stocky old man went on and on, introducing the sources and uses of the beast materials on the jade plate to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan sighed in his heart without choice.
Although the demon beast’s flesh and blood presented by the old man met his requirements, the amount was simply too little. It was estimated that it would not even be enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of the Spirit of Flesh or the Blood Scourge Flower.
“Head Li, not only do I need the demonic beast’s flesh and blood to be of high grade, but I need a large quantity as well. This is still far from enough,” he interrupted the old man’s words.
“A large quantity of demon beast’s flesh and blood?”
The old man found Lu Xuan’s request somewhat strange.
The demon beast materials presented before Lu Xuan were those gathered from the most valuable parts of the beast’s body. They can be considered the essence of the beast and could usually be used to refine magic artifacts, elixirs, and charms.
Most cultivators valued these special parts more and often overlooked the relatively mundane flesh and blood parts. However, Lu Xuan was different, he needed those comparatively ordinary parts even more.
“Although we have the demon beast’s flesh and blood that you require, it will be tough to satisfy your large demand,” the old man said wistfully.
“Does Wanbao Building currently carry any high-ranked or extremely rare and unusual spirit seeds?” Lu Xuan asked, out of options.
“There are two fourth-grade spirit seeds in our branches, but they are quite common in the cultivation world, I assume they would have difficulty satisfying you.”
“However, there is a place that might provide the rare and unusual spirit seeds you need.”
Just as Lu Xuan began to look disappointed, the stocky old man hastily spoke up.
“Recently, there has been rampant demonic cultivation, and even foreign demons have invaded, causing many strange things to appear.”
“Because of this, the Wanbao Building, in cooperation with several major forces, has jointly organized the Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting.”
“Heavenly Abyss Treasure Meeting?”
Lu Xuan was slightly curious.
“A few major forces will hold an exchange meeting that lasts for half a month. Cultivators will freely exchange resources and treasures for leisure and enjoyment. At least those who have reached the foundation establishment stage structure are eligible to participate.”
“At that time, a large number of high-grade treasures will appear, including strange treasures of unknown origin and rare eluseness. To my knowledge, there are some peculiar and unknown spirit seeds.”
“If you are interested, you can get an invitation from me that will guide you to the location of the treasure meeting in about a month.”
“Strange unknown spirit seeds?”
Lu Xuan’s itch was instantly scratched.
In his previous farming history, he had obtained many rare spirit seeds by chance, which led to his rapid progress.
After joining Sky Sword Sect, with more and more knowledge of spiritual plants and a long-term stay inside the sect, less and less of such situations occurred. But still, he managed to acquire several varieties of high-grade underworld spiritual plants relying on his luck.
Now that he had learned from the short and fat old man that there was such a good opportunity to seize rare spiritual seeds at will, he was instantly interested.
