“Oh, by the way, Old He, could you please fetch me two hundred Spirit Firefly Grass Seeds?”

After Manager He passed on the message, Lu Xuan continued.

“Alright, please wait here.”

Perhaps out of guilt for the near calamity that Lu Xuan narrowly avoided due to Bai Cao Tang's recommendations, the old man didn't even inquire about the whereabouts of the previous batch of Spirit Firefly Grass and went straight into Bai Cao Tang.

Still going by the previous discount price, each Spirit Firefly Grass Seed costs Thirty Broken Spirits. Lu Xuan pays with sixty Spirit Stones and receives two hundred dried seeds from the old man, which look like tea leaves.

He plans to plant these Spiritual Seeds after he is admitted to the sect. He will harvest them for cultivation level advancement, while the remaining seeds will be condensed by him for cyclic planting.

Back at the courtyard, Lu Xuan looks at the four diseased grade-two spiritual plants, and noticing that the progress bar at the bottom has already filled up more than half way.

The plants have been seriously damaged in the disease process and further detailed cultivation won't have much effect on their quality, so he picks all of them.

Instead of selling them to Bai Cao Tang, he brings them to Wanbao Building. The interior of Wanbao Building is filled with dazzling treasures.

As soon as Lu Xuan steps into the hall, a beautiful female cultivator greets him with a smiling face.

Fellow Daoist, let me know if there is anything you need.”

“I want to sell four grade-two spiritual plants, could you get someone in charge over here?”

The beautiful young woman gently nods.

In a while, a white-haired old man comes over and greets Lu Xuan with a fist cup.

Lu Xuan takes out the four grade-two diseased spiritual plants and places them on a flat empty ground.

The old man squints his eyes and carefully examines each part of the spiritual plants.

“Fellow Daoist, the quality of these four plants is rather mediocre. Three of them are of inferior quality and one of ordinary quality. How about this: I'll pay eighty spirit stones for each of the inferior quality and one hundred spirit stones for the ordinary one, what do you think?”

“That's fine.”

Lu Xuan nods.

After receiving three hundred and forty Spirit Stones, he asks the beautiful young woman.

“I heard that Wanbao Building has several branches in the Cultivation World. They can transport and trade cultivation resources between the branches, and also transport cultivators to designated areas, is that true?”

“Yes, Wanbao Building owns several third-grade large flying artifacts, the 'AU Things Ship', which can transport a large amount of cultivation resources. Cultivators can also take them for a certain number of Spirit Stones.”

The beautiful young woman says proudly.

“How many Spirit Stones would it take to get to the closest place to Sky Sword Sect?”

“Fellow Daoist wants to join the Sky Sword Sect? I've heard that unless you have exceptional talent, the lowest threshold for joining the Sky Sword Sect is a high-level Qi cultivation.”

The young woman looks at Lu Xuan, curiosity in her eyes. When she senses that Lu Xuan has only a mid-level Qi cultivation, she can't help but ask.

“That's none of your business, as long as I can earn enough Spirit Stones.”

Naturally, Lu Xuan wouldn't reveal his high-level Qi cultivation to anyone, nor would he mention his Azure Cloud Order. He responds indifferently.

“I'm sorry, that was unnecessary of me.”

The young woman says with due solemnity.

“There are four levels of rooms available in the All Things Ship, classified as A, B, C and D respectively. The D level is the lowest and merely consists of a small, independently available room at the bottom of the ship. The A level, on the other hand, is as spacious as a separate courtyard and can accommodate up to ten people. It also comes with soundproof formations, served by female cultivators, and offers the freshest Spiritual Fruit and Spiritual Tea on a daily basis.”

“How many Spirit Stones does it cost to book the closest D-level room to the

Sky Sword Sect?”

Lu Xuan directly asked. He was certain that he, as a small loose cultivator, wouldn't need a room as luxurious as the A level one. For him, the D level ' room, featuring its own space, would be more than sufficient.

“If you're departing from Linyang Market, it would cost you two hundred Spirit Stones to reach the Sword Gate Town, the closest location to the Sky Sword Sect, in a D-level room.”

“Two hundred Spirit Stones! That's so expensive!”

Lu Xuan couldn't help but exclaim. Two hundred Spirit Stones could very well buy a second-grade magical artifact, and this was just the one-way fare.

Traveler, the straight-line distance between the market and Sword Gate Town is thousands of miles. Accounting for detours around several dangerous territories, the journey amounts to no less than 10,000 miles.”

“Moreover, the All Things Ship being a third-grade flying artifact, is equipped with third-rank formations. There will also be Foundation Establishment Cultivators for protection throughout the journey. Thus, there is no need to worry about encountering demon beasts or demon envoys, let alone tribulation or evil cultivators.”

The young girl said with a smile.

Lu Xuan nodded. The female cultivator indeed had a point. If he were to tread the mountains and cross the rivers alone to reach the Sky Sword Sect, he wouldn't have a very good chance of reaching his destination safely.

Given the great distance and the uncertainty of the route, he could end up stepping into dangerous territories and becoming prey to demon beasts or demon envoys, or even become a target for lurking evil cultivators or tribulation cultivators in the forests.

“Alright then, I will pay the two hundred Spirit Stones.”

After a period of haggling, Lu Xuan finally conceded. Thankfully, he had made quite a fortune from his recent journey to the secret land, otherwise, he might have been reluctant to part with such a large sum of Spirit Stones.

Guided by the young girl, he exchanged two hundred Spirit Stones for a special talisman paper from the Wanbao Building, which would grant him access to the All Things Ship.

He learned that the nearest All Things Ship departing from the market to

Sword Gate Town would set sail in about ten days.

Lu Xuan returned to his courtyard. Time was tight, so he had to finish up all the work within this period.

His first task was to get rid of the massive amounts of demon beast materials, Spirit Grass, and Spiritual Medicine in his possession. He sold all of them at a relative discount at various stores and markets where he set up his own stalls.

The magical artifacts and storage bags he had acquired by irregular means were sold off at the black market, including the second-grade magical artifacts obtained from Li Jianfeng, along with several storage bags.

Consequently, the income from the diseased second-grade spiritual plants, a large quantity of low-rank demon beast materials, Spirit Grass, Spiritual Medicine, storage bags, magical artifacts, etc. helped Lu Xuan round up over a thousand Spirit Stones. He now possessed unprecedented wealth, amassing up to two thousand Spirit Stones.

In the meantime, he visited the home of Yu Jie, the snake-catching boy, and purchased all the Azure Water Python Blood they had. This would be enough for the Flood Dragon Vine to absorb for a considerable period.

He also paid visits to Zhang Xiu Yuan and Manager He to bid them farewell.

In his courtyard, the Pure Snow Lotus Seeds had reached maturity. Lu Xuan harvested them the day before he was set to leave.

He acquired sixteen jade-like white lotus seeds. These seeds were a significant ingredient for the Grade Two Elixir, Spirit Bearing Elixir. They could also be directly consumed to keep one's mind clear over a certain period.

After harvesting the Pure Snow Lotus, a white light group floated on the surface of the Spiritual Spring Pool, flickering mildly.

Lu Xuan gently picked it up and the light group transformed into countless light spots that rushed into his body. Subsequently, a thought flashed past and a small bottle of ointment appeared in his hand.

The ointment was light green and emitted a refreshing fragrance that cleared one's head when inhaled.

“[Sweet Rain Ointment, Second Class Elixir, can stop bleeding, generate flesh,

and promote wound healing.]”

“For a regular quality Grade One Pure Snow Lotus to yield a second-grade healing ointment is quite satisfactory.”

Lu Xuan sighed and stored the ointment in his storage bag.

Just before leaving, he collected the remaining second-grade Qingmiao Spirit Tea, Copper Bone Bamboo, third-grade Fantasy Smoke Fruit, Flood Dragon Vine, first-grade demon beast Iron Claw Crab, Spirit Pet Cloud Leopard, and Spirit Grass Puppet from the Spirit Field and stored them in the Life Bag.

He also collected the Hidden Fog Maze Array into his storage bag, his gaze firm as he looked towards the sky, seemingly piercing through mountains and rivers..
