Chapter 597: Getting a Job is Impossible
"Elder, you’re over-praising me. I wouldn’t dare to agree.”
Lu Xuan quickly got up and responded.
"After starting my cultivation, I developed a deep interest in cultivating Spirit Plants and raising Spirit Beasts, which even led me to neglect my training.”
"To gain more knowledge about Spirit Plants, I tried various means to gather different rare books. Through cultivating many Spirit Plants and raising numerous Spirit Beasts, combining theory and practice, I was able to figure out a great deal of experience.”
Lu Xuan said, half-truthfully and half-falsely.
"Haha, with such effort, it’s no wonder you possess such exceptional skills in the realm of Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts.”
Qi Wuheng burst out laughing. Beside him, Lei Zheng’s gaze towards Lu Xuan also held a few traces of admiration.
Most cultivators cultivate with the aim of increasing their own power, to catch a glimpse of the potential path to enlightenment.
During the process of cultivation, they might learn one or several cultivation techniques, but it is seldom that a cultivator does so out of love.
"By the way, little friend Lu, today you solved a big problem for me, and I should express my gratitude.”
"What would you like as a reward? Spirit Stones? Elixirs? Magic Artifacts? Feel free to ask. I do have some treasures suitable for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Late-term.”
Lu Xuan remained silent, wearing a faint smile.
"If we’re comparing treasures, you might find that I have more fifth and sixth-grade treasures than you.”
He sneered inwardly, but held back his true thoughts.
"Elder, there’s no need to be so polite. It was a mere matter of lifting a finger.”
"It’s only right. If other cultivators help me and I show no gratitude, it would damage my reputation if word got out.”
Qi Wuheng’s expression turned serious as he spoke.
"How about this, I’ll delay the acceptance of the reward for now. If Elder happens to come across any high-grade Spirit Seeds, I hope you will consider selling them to me first, or at least inform me in advance.”
Lu Xuan figured that the Star Envoy in front of him wouldn’t reward him a fifth-rank treasure for such a small favor. As he had no interest in the Elixirs or Magic Artifacts suitable for his cultivation stage, he proposed a compromise.
He believed that obtaining information about high-grade Spirit Seeds wouldn’t be difficult for Qi Wuheng, at his Mid-term of Nascent Soul stage and with his status as a Star Envoy from the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave.
"High-grade Spirit Seeds, I don’t have any currently. But if I do, I will surely consider you, little friend Lu.
"If I get news about Spirit Seeds, I will inform you first as well.”
Qi Wuheng promised Lu Xuan.
"If Elder or any other Star Envoy comes across any strange high-grade Spirit Seeds and doesn’t know how to cultivate them, you can bring them to me to attempt.”
Lu Xuan spoke with full confidence.
He wasn’t afraid to reveal his talent for Spirit Plants in the Liyang Region. After all, this talent posed no threat to most cultivators and couldn’t harm their interests – on the contrary, it would bring him substantial benefits.
"Alright, I’ll keep an eye out for you,” promised Elder Qi.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Xuan and Lei Zheng both stood to take their leave.
"Friend Lu, your talent for Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts impresses me.”
On the way back to the cave, Lei Zheng and the Fat Bird flew side by side in the sky, and he transmitted his voice to Lu Xuan.
"They’re side pursuits that distract from cultivation, despite your diligent cultivation,” replied Lu Xuan, standing on the robustly-built Fat Bird, his robes flapping in the wind, looking very free and easy.
"Being so highly valued by a Mid-term Jindan Star Envoy is worth years of rigorous cultivation.”
A hint of subtle envy flashed in Lei Zheng’s eyes.
"Friend Lu, based on what you said earlier, it seems you can help others cultivate their Spirit Plants?”
He continued.
"That’s correct. If you have any high-grade Spirit Seeds on hand, don’t rush to dispose of them. Let me cultivate them for you.”
"The higher the rank and the rarer it is, the better. It satisfies my curiosity.”
"Given our relationship, I can give you a discount after successful cultivation.”
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan’s face as he transmitted his voice to Lei Zheng.
"Alright. If I get the chance, I’ll come to you for help.”
"Friend Lu, let’s part ways for now. Until we meet again.”
Lei Zheng’s eyes flickered, he gave Lu Xuan a salute, and with his Thunder Wings flapping, creating a series of afterimages, he disappeared with a bang.
"Seems like he has something.”
"Just obediently bring it over. With such a high-quality Spirit Plant Master who charges less and renders superior quality service, where else could you find one?”
Looking in the direction where he disappeared, an ambiguous smile surfaced on Lu Xuan’s face.
