Chapter 731: The Liquidity of Opportunities
While the fifth-grade Black Drake Scales were virtually useless to Lu Xuan at the moment, they were still a rare top-tier material for crafting defense magic artifacts and could fetch quite a few spirit stones if sold at the grocery store.
Lu Xuan placed them into the Gluttonous Insect Pouch and proceeded to the Underworld Spirit Field.
As soon as he entered, a dense Yin Qi rushed towards him.
Just as Lu Xuan was about to check the condition of various weird spiritual plants, a Gorgeous Skin Pouch fell from the sky, attaching itself to his body.
The Gorgeous Skin Pouch wriggled continuously as if it wanted to merge into Lu Xuan's flesh and blood.
A hazy mist appeared before his eyes, and a naked woman freely displayed her enchanting body, seemingly trying to lure him into an endless sea of desire.
Unmoved, Lu Xuan circulated a stream of pure Qi throughout his body, shaking off the Gorgeous Skin Pouch.
The Skin Pouch rapidly shrank and returned to its original place.
"This Colorful Corpse Skin's charming abilities have grown increasingly strong."
"If it weren't for my strong will and powerful spiritual sense, I might have really fallen for its trick, had my skin sucked dry, and been replaced."
Lu Xuan looked at the Colorful Corpse Skin beneath his feet, which had grown more vibrant and lively, and couldn't help but remark.
Compared to before, the Colorful Corpse Skin had grown significantly; more gorgeous patterns appeared on the skin pouch, and it seemed like it could suck away one's flesh and blood, even the divine soul, just by looking at it.
Lu Xuan took a demon beast corpse out of the Gluttonous Insect Pouch and adeptly separated the skin pouch from it, throwing it on the Colorful Corpse Skin.
Before the demon beast skin pouch even touched the Colorful Corpse Skin, it was sucked in with a slurping sound, leaving no trace behind.
After feeding the Colorful Corpse Skin, a big pink meaty ball bounced joyously towards Lu Xuan.
It was the Spirit of Flesh, drawn by the scent of flesh.
Its head's eyeballs stared fixedly at the large pile of flesh; its fur fluttered about, revealing several drooling mouths underneath.
Lu Xuan nodded lightly, took out fresh organs of a demon beast, and gestured for the Spirit of Flesh to start eating.
The big meaty ball jumped three meters high in excitement; with a light sound, half a thousand kilograms of flesh and blood disappeared instantly, transforming into a puff of blood mist and swiftly falling into its mouth.
"This disaster-level evil spirit is indeed growing astonishingly fast, already possessing the strength almost equivalent to that of a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment."
"However, its appetite has also grown larger, and the previously stored demon beast corpses are almost depleted; I need to find a stable source."
Lu Xuan silently remarked.
After the Colorful Corpse Skin and the Spirit of Flesh had their meal, the large demon beast was left with only some shriveled flesh and bones.
He placed that flesh into the Underworld Mud Flesh, adding a bit of richness to this weird spirit soil.
As for the bones, he placed them in front of the Sixth Grade Skeleton Demon Vision Spirit Plant, providing it with materials to build a bone viewing platform.
In a corner, the half-meter tall Evil Granny Tree Monster was frantically attacking something in front of it.
Branches shot out like long spears, and the ancient face that appeared on the trunk was gritting its teeth; the blurry eyes seemed to radiate intense combativeness and resentment.
"Looking at this attacking stance, it seems like it's simulating a battle with the Ghost Eating Evil Vine."
The Evil Granny Tree steadily changed its attack methods, as if facing an invisible enemy.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh and cry.
The Ghost Eating Evil Vine was currently lost in the pleasures of the Illusory Immortal Peach Gentle Land, while the Evil Granny Tree was still replaying their past fight.
"The gap between spiritual plants."
Lu Xuan shook his head, took out a Soul Lantern, and controlled several strong Yin Souls that flew out from the ghastly white candle, all used to nurture the Ghost Eating Evil Vine.
"These Yin Souls are too tame; after being absorbed by the Ghost Eating Evil Vine, their growth has been mediocre and they haven't formed any evil effects. If I want to fully enhance its characteristics, I need to nourish it with some evil ghosts."
Lu Xuan silently remarked.
"It looks like I need to visit the Abyss Star Cave and find some evil ghost spirits, and then see if I can find a suitable cave abode to relocate these weird spiritual plants."
"Besides, some of the weird spirit fruits and treasures I collected earlier can be more conveniently handled there."
The Cave Mansion was being filled with more and more Spirit Plants, and the area of the Spirit Field was becoming cramped, especially since the Weird Spiritual Plants conflicted with the environment required for Ordinary Spirit Plants.
After Lu Xuan achieved the Mid-term of Nascent Soul stage, he thought about finding another Cave Mansion.
The environment of the Huanxi Star cave was monotonous, more suited for leisure and enjoyment. Lu Xuan had already ruled it out.
As for the remaining Abyss Star Cave, it required careful inspection, and it was an opportunity to replenish materials like Yin Qi Flesh and Blood needed for Cultivating Spiritual Plants.
Several days later, before he could leave, his Cave Mansion welcomed an unexpected visitor.
"Is this Friend Lu's Cave Mansion? I am Si Tuyuan, here to pay a visit,"
Lu Xuan's Spiritual Sense swept over and detected a tall cultivator standing outside. The cultivator, who was at the Mid-term of Nascent Soul stage Cultivation, was carefully inspecting the Illusion and Disappearance Five Elements Array.
"It turns out to be Fellow Si Tu. I apologize for not being able to meet you from afar. I hope you understand," said Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan's Spiritual Sense swept again and detected no other abnormalities in the vicinity.
With a flash, he moved to the edge of the Cave Mansion, opened the Formation, and welcomed the Tall Daoren inside.
"I have a slight interest in Formations. The two Arrays outside your Mansion are indeed unique and splendid," the Tall Daoren praised.
It was his first visit to Lu Xuan's Cave Mansion, and he didn't expect the Nascent Soul Mid-term Spirit Plant Master to have set up two Fifth Grade Defense Arrays outside the Mansion.
"Fellow Si Tu is too kind,"
Lu Xuan said with a bright laugh.
"I have been staying in this Cave Mansion for many years. With numerous Spirit Plants inside, it practically constitutes all my possessions. So, I spared no expense to enhance the Cave Mansion's defensive capabilities as much as possible," he half-seriously said.
The two entered the courtyard.
"This should be our first meeting, Fellow Si Tu. May I know the purpose of your visit?" Lu Xuan asked curiously after serving Spiritual Fruit Spiritual Tea.
"While exploring the Thunder Jetty Cave Secret Realm in the Thunder Sea, I heard other cultivators mention that Friend Lu is willing to pay a high price for Spiritual Seeds. Is that true?"
The Tall Daoren set down his tea cup and spoke earnestly.
"Yes, I am extremely fascinated by various Spirit Plants, particularly the rarer ones,"
"Unfortunately, my own strength is insufficient, I possess no powerful treasures, and I am not adept at fighting, so I had to come up with this method, hoping I could acquire some desirable Spiritual Seeds," he explained.
Hearing the Tall Daoren's words, a wave of joy surged in Lu Xuan's heart.
As expected, Si Tuyuan's next words immediately confirmed his guess.
"I was fortunate to obtain a Bizarre Spiritual Plant from a Demon Envoy's nest. I have no idea of its origin, but hearing that Friend Lu loves to collect various strange Spiritual Plants, I decided to try my luck," Si Tuyuan said.
"Is that so? Please bring out that Spiritual Plant, let me take a look," Lu Xuan said with a smile.

The Secret Realm in the depths of the Thunder Sea attracted many Nascent Soul Stage and even some Primordial Infant True Monarchs. Cautious about venturing there himself, he thought of this method instead.
He specifically informed a few Nascent Soul True People he knew, saying he was willing to pay a high price for high-grade Spiritual Seeds obtained from the Secret Realm.
Initially, it was just a word of mouth, but unexpectedly, cultivators with Spiritual Seeds really came looking for him.
"Although I cannot compete for opportunities myself, opportunities can be transferred,"
"Here it comes!"
He was ecstatic in his heart.
