Chapter 300: Chapter 140: Heaven-Reaching Vine, Star Source Spirit Fruit (Part 3)
However, this enhancement is an improvement in the cultivation realm, his aptitude has not changed in the slightest.
No matter how much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi he can absorb, the ’amount’ of Spiritual Qi he converts into Spiritual Power is still related to his Spiritual Root Talent.
The weaker the talent, the lower the efficiency, and a lot of Spiritual Qi will be utterly wasted.
If he could improve his Spiritual Root Talent...
"No matter what, I have to give it a try.
I currently have a total of 19,000 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones on me, deducting the purchase of the Third Grade High-Tier First Grade Spirit Pill Jade Flower Pill from before, I can only use 16,000 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones..."
Zhou Changwang silently calculated, feeling somewhat helpless.
This time, he got a total of 15,000 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones from selling talismans and various treasured materials, adding to what he already had, it was a total of 19,000.
Although the amount is not small, considering the preciousness of the Star Source Spirit Fruit, he truly didn’t have much confidence.
"It seems fellow Daoists already know the effect of the Star Source Spirit Fruit.
However, this time, what we are selling is not the Star Source Spirit Fruit, but the Star Source Spirit Fruit Seed Core."
Chen Xiao’Er didn’t expect such a big reaction from everyone, so he had to bite the bullet and say it.
Indeed, soon a cultivator was dissatisfied.
The Foundation Establishment Realm True Cultivator sitting at the front had a serious look and coldly said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, are you perhaps entertaining us?"
"Just a seed, do you want us to cultivate the Spirit Seed ourselves and grow the Spirit Fruit?"
Below, another Foundation Establishment Realm True Cultivator also spoke, with a somewhat ill tone.
"I dare not, I dare not."
Chen Xiao’Er waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "As everyone knows, the Star Source Spirit Fruit has fruit without a kernel.
So even if you’re lucky enough to encounter this Earth Treasure in the wild, it’s almost impossible to get the Star Source Spirit Fruit Seed.
Naturally, there’s no possibility of planting it yourself and cultivating it.
It’s said that only when the Star Source Spirit Fruit Seed Core matures and hasn’t been picked and eaten for a hundred days will the Heaven and Earth essence inside the fruit automatically shrink and condense into a new Spirit Seed.
In other words, only a mature Star Source Spirit Fruit can give birth to a Star Source Spirit Fruit Seed.
This is somewhat regrettable, but it also proves the preciousness of this Spirit Seed.
This time I am auctioning a Star Source Spirit Fruit Seed that matured and was not picked.
This is a Third-Grade Spirit Plant Seed.
The starting price is 3,000 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
After saying this, the scene became a bit quiet.
The difference between Spirit Fruit and Spirit Seed is enormous.
As such, many people felt a little dissatisfied.
After all, not everyone is a Spirit Plant Master capable of cultivating such Spiritual Material Seeds.
Third-Grade Spiritual Material Seeds are also not something an average Spirit Plant Master can cultivate.
The key is that even if cultivated, it often takes a century to let the Spirit Seed continue to bloom and bear fruit.
Even if a Spirit Plant Master has the Annual Ring Skill, which can constantly increase the Ring Time of the Spirit Plant, the effort and resources spent are not minor.
Not everyone is willing to put in such effort for this.
Of course, there were still some on the scene who were tempted.
So after a slight silence, someone bid, "3,100 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
Then another person spoke up.
"3,200 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
...
The enthusiasm compared to before Chen Xiao’Er proposed the ’Star Source Spirit Fruit’ was a world of difference.
However, there were bids anyway, which already satisfied her.
In fact, this Spirit Fruit was precisely placed by her in this small auction.
This Spirit Fruit Seed was something she unexpectedly obtained half a year ago during an outing.
Unfortunately, when she got this Spirit Fruit Seed, the fruit had long passed its picking time, the spirit fruit condensed and transformed into a Spirit Seed.
Even two of the Spirit Seeds inside had already sprouted, with traces of being gnawed by certain bird-like Demon Beasts, and she guessed there were Spirit Fruit Seeds that were even swallowed by a bird-like Demon Beast.
Only this one was kept intact and had not sprouted.
Hearing there was to be a Heaven-Reaching Vine auction this time, she put this Star Source Spirit Fruit Seed up, hoping it would sell for a high price.
It must be said, although many at the scene were disappointed that this Spirit Fruit Seed was not the Spirit Fruit itself.
But after all, it’s a Spirit Fruit Seed that can enhance a cultivator’s talent, the price continued to rise, quickly reaching over 5,000 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
"6,000 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones!"
Zhou Changwang remained silent for a while and then spoke up.
He still had some confidence in his Spirit Plant skills.
Although it wasn’t the Star Source Spirit Fruit itself, he was a bit disappointed, but turning the thought around, it might just be an opportunity.
After all, if he obtains this Seed, what he gains could be not just one Star Source Spirit Fruit, but even many, dozens of them... a continuous stream of Star Source Spirit Fruits.
"6,500 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"6,700 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"6,800 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones!"
...
On site, like Zhou Changwang, there were a few cultivators with the same idea.
Thus, the price of this Star Source Spirit Fruit Seed was also soaring.
Until it rose to 7,000 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, then someone withdrew from the competition.
In the end, only Zhou Changwang and an old-looking elder remained in the competition.
"7,500 pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
Fellow Daoist, I am Lin Beisheng, the Spirit Plant Tributor of the Gu Family.
I hope Fellow Daoist will consider the Gu Family and let me have this Spirit Seed."
After quoting his price, the old man’s eyes narrowed slightly as he suddenly spoke these words.
