I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 733: Chapter 392: Treasure City Treasure Hunt (Part 2)

"Such formidable thunder power." Li Mu exclaimed in awe, the frenzy thunder power contained in this Immortal Ancient Rong Wood was far more powerful than he imagined. If a regular Divinity Transformation Cultivator were to come across it, they might not be able to withstand the invasion of this thunder power.

Wang Wenbao and Xue’Er were stunned, although they knew any Spirit Wood chosen by Li Mu would be extraordinary, they didn’t expect the thunder power contained within it to be so terrifying.

"Lord Li, are you alright?" Xue’Er asked with concern.

"I’m fine!" Li Mu shook his head slightly, indicating he was not harmed, and looked excitedly at the Immortal Ancient Rong Wood, contemplating how to eliminate the thunder power within this Spirit Wood.

Seeing Li Mu was fine, the old man let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "Our customer has an extraordinary cultivation, able to easily resist the thunder power within this Ancient Rong Wood. This Spirit Wood has been stored with me for hundreds of years, yet no one could utilize it. Today, meeting this customer, perhaps this Spirit Wood will finally find its destined owner."

Li Mu’s heart stirred upon hearing this and asked, "Boss, are you planning to sell this Ancient Rong Wood?"

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "This Spirit Wood is of quite a high tier and has considerable age, a top-grade material for refining high-tier Spirit Swords and Spirit Staffs. If the frenzy thunder power within can be utilized, it would be even better. I originally intended to keep it as the store’s treasure, but since the customer is interested, I’m willing to sell it, though I hope the price could be reasonable."

Li Mu nodded in understanding. Since he had set his sights on this Spirit Wood, although it seemed like he might be picking up an undervalued item, he wouldn’t be stingy.

"Old man, just name your price. Master Li would never short-change you." Wang Wenbao took out the Shopkeeper’s Token and showed it to the old man.

Seeing this, the old man glimpsed a flash of surprise but quickly regained composure and smiled, "Since the shopkeeper is here personally, I’m relieved. I originally intended to sell this Ancient Rong Wood for three hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, but since the shopkeeper spoke, I’ll give a discount, how about two hundred fifty thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones?"

"Alright, but can you answer a doubt of mine, boss?" Li Mu nodded gladly; this price made it seem like the boss was selling it as a Tier Five or Six Spirit Wood! He really found a great deal.

"Oh? Please, ask your question." The old man curiously said.

Li Mu quickly asked, "I hope to know the origin of this Ancient Rong Wood, its growth environment, and its harvesting process."

"Uh" The old man showed a hint of different emotion upon hearing this, evidently not expecting Li Mu to be so interested in the Spirit Wood’s background. After some thought, he said with difficulty, "I’m afraid I can’t. This Ancient Rong Wood was bought by my father from a fallen cultivator, and since my father passed away, I know nothing of its growth environment or harvesting process. As you know, the origins of such Spiritual Objects often involve secrets that aren’t disclosed by all sellers."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu felt somewhat disappointed; he was hoping to acquire the Immortal Ancient Rong’s Spirit Seed.

"Since the boss has difficulties, I won’t insist." Li Mu said with a smile, "I’ll take this Ancient Rong Wood for twenty-five hundred top-grade Spirit Stones."

Saying that, Li Mu took a small pile of top-grade Spirit Stones from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl and paid the bill.

After completing the transaction, Li Mu stored the Immortal Ancient Rong Wood into the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl and left the store, closely followed by Wang Wenbao and Xue’Er as they continued to roam the Spiritual Plant transaction area.

The three continued strolling, Li Mu’s sharp eyes scanning through various Spirit Plant Stores. His knowledge of Spirit Plants’ grades and effects was profound, and most Spirit Plants did not impress him. However, Wang Wenbao and Xue’Er were like treasure hunters, enthusiastically picking out Spirit Medicines and Spirit Grasses suitable for their cultivation.

Li Mu seemed to gain nothing, but he had actually purchased many rare Spirit Seeds as reserves. These seeds were from high-tier Spirit Plants, and once successfully planted in the future, they would greatly boost his cultivation.

Having roamed the Spirit Plant transaction area for a long time, Wang Wenbao and Xue’Er returned with loads of goods, while Li Mu was equally satisfied with the bulk purchase of Spirit Seeds. Seeking rare Spirit Plants was never easy; it required a mix of luck and patience, but here, being able to acquire various high-tier Spirit Plants and Spirit Seeds in bulk left Li Mu content.

The three continued wandering around the vast Spirit Plant transaction area, filled with countless Spirit Plant Cultivators, Alchemists, and Spirit Plant traders. Occasionally, one could hear debates and shared insights from them regarding Spirit Plants.

"Lord Li, the Spirit Plant transaction area is huge, but the items seem similar. Why don’t we check out the Exotic Items Trading Area?" Xue’Er blinked her sparkling eyes and suggested to Li Mu, a bit tired of the Spirit Plant transaction area, seeking new excitement and surprises.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu felt somewhat reluctant to leave, still wanting to buy more Spirit Seeds, however,

"Alright, let’s go check out the Exotic Items Trading Area."

Reluctantly, Li Mu withdrew his gaze, still hoping to buy more Spirit Seeds, but seeing Xue’Er’s expectant eyes, he finally nodded.

Soon, the three changed direction, preparing to leave the Spirit Plant transaction area, heading towards the Exotic Items Trading Area.

Just as they were about to leave the Spirit Plant transaction area, Li Mu suddenly stopped his stride again.

"What’s the matter, Lord Li?" Xue’Er, puzzled, looked at Li Mu and followed his gaze. They saw a Spirit Plant Store crowded with people, layers of them as if drawn by some mysterious attraction.

Li Mu’s eyes focused on that Spirit Plant Store, showing a hint of doubt and curiosity. He could sense an unusual aura emanating from there, seemingly drawing everyone’s attention towards some special Spirit Plant or treasure.

"What’s the matter, Lord Li?" Xue’Er curiously asked upon seeing Li Mu halt his steps.

Li Mu withdrew his gaze, looked at Xue’Er and Wang Wenbao, and quickly motioned, "That Spirit Plant Store has something good; let’s go check it out."

Upon saying this, Li Mu led Xue’Er and Wang Wenbao towards the Spirit Plant Store. As they got closer, the surrounding discussions gradually entered their ears.

"So lively! What’s the Celestial Spirit Pavilion showing today?"

"Celestial Spirit Pavilion is presenting a seven-thousand-year medicinal age Medicine King Ginseng, attracting numerous Spirit Plant Cultivators and Alchemists."

"Indeed, if one could consume this Medicine King Ginseng, it could reverse one’s talent, break through the Nascent Soul, and even promote to Divinity Transformation!"

"Don’t underestimate the Medicine King Ginseng’s effects; it’s seven-thousand-year medicinal age! It’s about to transform, truly a sight not often seen in a millennium."

...

Before approaching, various lively discussions continually broadcast around them.

Li Mu’s eyes flashed with a glint; his sensitivity to rare Spirit Plants allowed him to feel the scent emitted by the Medicine King Ginseng, confirming it as an untransformed Spirit Plant.

Using the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s Shopkeeper Token from Wang Wenbao, the three easily passed through the lively crowd in front of the Spirit Plant Store.

Inside, a uniquely shaped Spirit Ginseng was displayed. It rooted in Nine Void Spirit Soil, emitting a faint golden glow shrouded in a layer of Spirit Mist. Its nine leaves were a vibrant green, as if freshly nurtured by the spring rain, each leaf appeared brimming with vitality, and its roots coiled like dragon whiskers in the Nine Void Spirit Soil, suspended before a young man.

The Spirit Ginseng exuded a strong medicinal fragrance, unlike the typical clear scent of Spirit Plants, it carried an oddly enchanting aroma leaving one invigorated as if all ailments were healed.

Many Divinity Transformation Cultivators and Void Refining Cultivators surrounded it, either marveling or discussing, with all their focus on the Medicine King Ginseng, while the outer layers of Nascent Soul Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators could only watch from afar, filled with envy and desire.

The owner of the Medicine King Ginseng did not seem eager to sell, smiling at the crowd as if awaiting something.

Li Mu stood among the crowd, carefully observing the Medicine King Ginseng. His Innate Divine Techniques—Recognize Ten Thousand Spirits was already activated, displaying the attributes of the Medicine King Ginseng clearly on his panel, readily apparent.

Upon seeing the attribute information of the Medicine King Ginseng, Li Mu’s eyes flashed, originally indifferent, he instantly changed his mind. The Medicine King Ginseng’s value was far beyond his expectations, and if possible, he wanted to acquire it.
