"My lord!"
"Wonderful news! Wonderful news!"
Yue Guan bowed and addressed Xia Mu.
"Oh?"
"What wonderful news?"
Thoroughly puzzled, Xia Mu questioned Yue Guan.
"A Soul Master recently found a seventy-eight-thousand-year-old thunderclap hellvine in Thunder Canyon!"
"The thunderclap hellvine has already been delivered to the Holy Spirit Chamber of Commerce, so I came to report it to you!"
Yue Guan knew perfectly well that a thunderclap hellvine was a peerless spiritual plant. This was an opportunity as vast as the heavens.
"A thunderclap hellvine?"
"Spiritual plants like that are quite rare!"
Xia Mu murmured, pleasantly surprised.
"Do you have any way to cultivate this thunderclap hellvine until it reaches the hundred-thousand-year threshold?"
A seventy-thousand-year-old thunderclap hellvine was a little too young, so Xia Mu began turning over another little scheme.
A hundred-thousand-year-old thunderclap hellvine could yield a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Anyone could see the profit in that deal.
"My lord!"
"A thunderclap hellvine grows in a very unusual way. It needs to draw down heavenly lightning to temper itself!"
"I don't have that kind of ability!"
Yue Guan spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless to help.
"A lightning-summoning technique?"
"Within the Holy Spirit Cult, only Mother is skilled at summoning lightning, but she's still training in Slaughter City."
"Although I absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring, I failed to inherit its Dark Demon Evil Thunder."
Xia Mu found himself in a bind, but he soon made his decision. He would secure the spiritual plant first.
"Buy that spiritual plant at auction first!"
"There aren't many people in the Holy Spirit Cult suited to it. Let's set it aside as Zhi Lin's Ninth Soul Ring!"
Zhi Lin's martial soul was the azure sky vine, which possessed the life attribute.
