"Fellow Daoist, how about one hundred Spirit Stones for this strange Spirit Seed? That's already higher than the price of many common Second Grade Spirit Seeds. For a Spirit Seed whose species and grade are both unknown, this is a very fair price."
Although Lu Xuan was burning with impatience inside, his tone carried an air of ease and indifference.
"One hundred Spirit Stones is far too low! This Spirit Seed looks so peculiar—it's obviously a rare and precious variety. How about this: one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones, and you can take it away directly."
The One-Eyed Middle-Aged Cultivator backed down a great deal.
"Even if it is some rare and precious Spirit Plant, it'll be useless if we don't know how to cultivate it."
Lu Xuan pointed out the crux of the problem.
He haggled with the stall owner bit by bit, finally obtaining the Third Grade Thorn Bone Spirit Seed for one hundred and twenty Spirit Stones.
A short while later, Lu Xuan stood inside a Small Courtyard and looked around.
The Heaven Sword Sect stipulated that its disciples were forbidden to cultivate or raise evil and strange Spirit Plants or Spirit Beasts within the sect.
At present, he had five sleeping Ghost Face Stone Mushrooms in his possession, along with the Thorn Bone Spirit Seed he had just obtained. One fed on grudges, while the other needed to absorb the essence of bones. Neither could be considered a proper Spirit Plant.
But Lu Xuan couldn't bear to abandon them because of that. After all, whether it was the Ghost Face Stone Mushroom or the Thorn Bone, both were Third Grade Spirit Plants. Once they matured, they would mean generous Light Orb rewards.
Left with no choice, he came up with a countermeasure: rent a Small Courtyard
