In Baicao Hall.
Lu Xuan walked around the market and found nothing. He was not disappointed and took the opportunity to visit He Guanshi.
“Boy Lu, are you here?!”
The thin old man was looking at the account book. He glanced at Lu Xuan and ignored him.
Lu Xuan found a place to sit at random and watched several thirteen or fourteen-year-old medicine boys in Baicao Hall busy coming and going.
The collected spiritual plants need to go through several processes, and what the medicine boy did was the most superficial processing.
This does not have much technical content, so Baicaotang handles it generously in the hall without fear of people seeing it.
“Come, have a cup of hot tea.”
Not long after, Manager He came to Lu Xuan and handed him a cup of tea with green tea floating in it.
A sip of spiritual tea went into his throat, and the refreshing fragrance floated into his mouth and nose, making Lu Xuan think about it for a long time.
“How is it? Are the spiritual plants growing well? If they are not up to standard, then your interests will suffer a lot!”
The thin old man asked with concern.
“Not bad, better quality than the last batch.”
Lu Xuan smiled and replied, he knew that the spiritual planting in the spiritual field was not only related to his own income, but also represented the face of He Guanshi to a certain extent. After all, he was the one who introduced him to Baicao Hall.
Hearing Lu Xuan’s reply, Manager He was a little relieved, and the two chatted casually.
Suddenly, a woman and her child hurried into the Baicao Hall.
The woman looked like she was crying, and her eyes were swollen, showing that she had been crying for a long time.
The child had a look of confusion on his face, his mouth opened, and he allowed the woman to hold him tightly.
The woman asked a few questions and entered the Baicao Hall. Guanshi He was worried that something would happen, so he followed her in.
After a while, he returned to the hall with a heavy face.
“A spiritual planter who has established a cooperative relationship in the hall accidentally had an accident. His family members came to ask about the follow-up treatment of the spiritual planter.”
“What’s going on?”
“It is said that several people were invited to go to a secret place to pick elixirs. As a result, they were unlucky and encountered an injured second-level monster. Two of the four people died on the spot, and the other two were also seriously injured. Life hangs on a thread.”
“What is the name of the spiritual planter who has established a cooperative relationship with the church?”
When Lu Xuan heard what Guanshi He said, he couldn’t help but think of Lei Fei who invited him to enter the secret realm with him some time ago.
“My name is Lei Fei, one of the two people who died. What, do you know him?”
Sure enough, Lu Xuan got confirmation from Manager He that it was Lei Fei, the spiritual planter who invited him at that time.
“At that time, they tried to invite me to explore the secret realm with them. I was worried about the spiritual plants in the spiritual field and was afraid that I would be in danger, so I didn’t agree.”
Lu Xuan sighed.
“Fortunately you didn’t agree, otherwise…you might be the one who suffered the unexpected.”
Guanshi He couldn’t help but said.
“It can only be said that they have such a catastrophe. They have entered countless monks’ secret realms, and they can actually encounter a second-grade monster.”
“Then what should we do with the spiritual plants he took over?”
“The spiritual plant master dies, and his family members are not very good at cultivating first-grade spiritual plants. According to the regulations, the hall should take over, transplant the spiritual plants, and provide certain compensation to the family members.”
“It’s just that it’s much cheaper than mature spiritual plants. The family members came here just to beg for mercy and let the hall give her the remaining spiritual plants to plant.”
Guanshi He didn’t explain clearly how to deal with it, but Lu Xuan guessed it by looking at his expression.
Baicaotang is definitely focused on interests. In the face of interests, a little affection is dispensable.
He became more determined not to put himself in danger. After all, if he went out and couldn’t come back, wouldn’t the Lingzhi in the courtyard have to take advantage of others in vain?
After this episode, he had no intention of drinking the spiritual tea. After swallowing it, he stood up and left.
……
“You want forty spirit stones for such a small cloud-walking lynx? Are you crazy?”
“Fellow Taoist, this is not an ordinary lynx that walks on the clouds. Look at its eyes. This is a different species of lynx. The price must not be the same as usual.”
While strolling around, a dispute at a stall not far away attracted Lu Xuan’s attention.
With a thought in mind, Lu Xuan came to the stall and his attention was attracted by an iron cage in the corner.
I don’t know what material the iron cage is made of. The slender railings have thin patterns and are filled with coldness. There are also talismans attached to the four corners of the cage to prevent the things inside from escaping.
Through the gap in the railing, Lu Xuan saw a young lynx in the cage.
The lynx’s fur is pitch-black, with only its four soles looking like white snow. When standing, it seems as if it is stepping on four white clouds. This is where the word “Cloud Stepping” probably comes from.
Two slender ears stand high, with two small tufts of white hair on the tips of the ears, growing straight like two antennas.
A pair of emerald-green eyes were extremely eye-catching, looking around coldly.
Seeing Lu Xuan’s gaze, the scarred Cloud-Stepping Lynx bared its teeth and leaned forward slightly, as if it was about to fight.
“Does having beautiful eyes mean that I am a mutant? Then does Diao Chan, who is my waist, count as a mutant monk?”
A qi-training monk in front of the stall couldn’t help but refute the stall owner.
No wonder he was angry. If the cloud-walking lynx cub was at the usual price, twenty spirit stones could easily be obtained. But this stall owner, with the cloud-walking lynx in front of him with strange pupils, could easily get it. In this situation, the lion opened his mouth and actually wanted forty spiritual stones.
“Forty spiritual stones, it can’t be any lower!”
The stall owner did not waver and kept sticking to the original price.
“Keep this so-called alien cloud-walking lynx for yourself! It’s so beautiful, you can’t get enough of it every day!”
The qi-training monk said nothing and walked away.
“I don’t know the goods.”
The stall owner laughed mercilessly.
“Fellow Taoist, how did you get this cloud-walking lynx, and what’s going on with its pupils?”
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded next to him, and the stall owner followed the sound. A clear and handsome young man was standing in front of the iron cage, looking at him with clear eyes.
“My companions and I worked hard to get this from the depths of a secret realm.”
“The cloud-walking lynx is a first-class spiritual beast. It moves quickly, silently and has good attack power. The cub in front of you is also different from the ordinary cloud-walking lynx. When you grow up, your eyes may look a little strange.”
“What do you think, fellow Taoist?”
“How about thirty spirit stones?”
Lu Xuan cut off a large section out of habit.
“Haha.”
The stall owner crossed his arms over his chest and was too lazy to pay attention to Lu Xuan.
“Fellow Taoist said it is a heterogeneous cloud-walking lynx. I don’t know what the basis is. Is it just based on its pair of green eyes?”
“You must know that heterogeneous monsters are very rare, and the appearance of heterogeneous monsters in first-class monsters is rare.”
“It is possible that these green eyes were only stimulated by some stimulation during the embryonic forming process, or affected by a special aura environment. Fellow Taoist directly designated them as alien species, which is too arbitrary.”
“Furthermore, I see that the cloud-walking lynx cub in your cage is not in very good condition. It may have suffered a lot of damage during the capture by fellow Taoists, and it has been trapped in the cage without receiving any good treatment. Treatment and recuperation. ”
“With its current state, it is still unclear whether it can be successfully fed.”
“Thirty-six spiritual stones, it can’t be lower. You have to know that we paid a lot to catch it.”
“I will take the thirty-two spirit stones directly.”
Lu Xuan knew that the stall owner had been convinced by his reasons, and he was particularly fond of the cloud-walking lynx with green eyes, so he relaxed the price a little more.
“Okay, then it will be easier for you, fellow Taoist.”
The stall owner gritted his teeth and finally agreed.
He also knew in his heart that the possibility of it being a different species was extremely low, and he was afraid that he would not be able to survive if he kept it in his hands. Being able to earn half as much as an ordinary cloud-walking lynx cub would be a pretty good result.
