#1258 - Ghost Car Remnant
"Once the eighth-grade Supreme Saint Demon Fruit is ripened, a generous light orb reward can be obtained."
"The mature spiritual fruit can be used to feed spirit beasts. An eighth-grade treasure, at the very least, should allow the Flowing Light Spirit Crane and the Wind Listener Beast to advance to the seventh grade without issue."
"And then, there will be two more generous light orb rewards."
"So, ripening the eighth-grade Supreme Saint Demon Fruit is within my capabilities and extremely cost-effective."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
He accepted the demon core and invited the Wood Family Head into a secluded courtyard.
"Friend Wood, the price of this demon core..."
"Friend Lu, the spirit stones needed for the demon core will be directly deducted from your share of the profits. You will receive a corresponding bill at that time."
The Wood Family Head said with a smile.
"That's for the best, it saves some trouble."
Lu Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
After the relationship with the Sea Tower Commerce Guild changed from employment to cooperation, they valued him even more, trying their best to satisfy his various demanding requests.
After chatting for a while, Lu Xuan suddenly remembered something, and his expression became serious.
"Friend Wood, I'll be so bold as to ask, what is the relationship between the Commerce Guild and the Taiyi Alliance?"
"The Taiyi Alliance? Why do you suddenly bring it up?"
The old man looked puzzled.
"Some time ago, Wen Wuchen of the Taiyi Alliance came to visit, wanting to cooperate with me, but I politely declined."
"During that time, he mentioned the Commerce Guild and Senior Artifact Spirit, and his tone seemed to have a bit of contempt, so I paid extra attention."
Lu Xuan confessed frankly.
"I see, you are very thoughtful, Friend Lu."
"Although the Sea Tower Commerce Guild has a large influence, compared to the Taiyi Alliance, it is like the starlight to the moon, not on the same level at all."
"However, the Commerce Guild is not so easy to bully. In some realms, it can still compete with the Taiyi Alliance, and there are occasional small frictions."
The old man said slowly, his expression as usual.
"I see, then I can rest assured."
Lu Xuan nodded.
The Wood Family Head did not stay long and bid farewell to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan took the demon core and entered his personal space.
As soon as he arrived in front of the eighth-grade Supreme Saint Demon Fruit tree, a breeze blew, and the always mysterious Wind Listener Beast quietly revealed its figure.
"I will have to trouble you during this time."
"I will use various spiritual objects to ripen this eighth-grade spiritual plant."
"What you need to do is to do your best to refine this seventh-grade demon core and use the demon power inside to meet the needs of the spiritual plant's growth."
Lu Xuan solemnly instructed.
The Wind Listener Beast nodded lightly, looking as if it was facing a formidable enemy.
With a thought, two blue-green small jars immediately appeared in front of him. The mouths of the jars opened, and two extremely pure wood spiritual energies poured out, seeping into the Supreme Saint Demon Fruit next to it.
When applied to the eighth-grade spiritual plant, whether it was the Divine Wood Green Jar or the Wood Elf Juice, the ripening effect was weakened a lot. Therefore, the key to the Supreme Saint Demon Fruit's maturity was still in the remaining five drops of Taiyi Green Spirit Liquid.
Lu Xuan was very patient, waiting for the Wind Listener Beast to control the demon power inside the demon core, fully nourishing the Supreme Saint Demon Fruit.
In the blink of an eye, five months passed. The wood spiritual energy inside the two Divine Wood Green Jars was completely exhausted. The Supreme Saint Demon Fruit was significantly larger compared to the beginning, and a rich demon power filled the spiritual field, lasting for a long time.
During this period, all seventy-five Yuan Spirit Ginseng planted matured.
"Keep thirty to condense seeds, and harvest the rest."
He carefully picked more than forty pure white spiritual ginsengs and put them all into the Square Inch Book.
Looking at the faint white light orbs in the spiritual field, he chuckled and sped past.
More than forty light orbs shattered at the same time, and a rain of light poured down, illuminating the sky above the spiritual field.
Then, they turned into slender rivers of light and disappeared into Lu Xuan's body.
At the same time, thoughts flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
Light orb rewards either appeared out of thin air in front of him or poured into his mind.
"I didn't expect that after breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the light orb rewards from low-grade spiritual plants would also be weakened."
Lu Xuan stood in place, sighing in his heart.
In the past, similar situations would only occur when crossing a major realm. He didn't expect that this time, just breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the light orb rewards would change significantly.
The forty-five white light orbs yielded the most fifth-grade Yuan Spirit Pills, a full eighteen, but the only pity was that five were defective products, with significantly lower medicinal effects than ordinary Yuan Spirit Pills.
In addition, the cultivation rewards also decreased, with some light orbs yielding ten years of cultivation.
The remaining ten or so light orb rewards were Yuan Spirit Pill recipe experience packs, giving him a massive amount of alchemy experience out of thin air.
After harvesting a batch of Yuan Spirit Ginseng, another half a year passed, and all thirty remaining plants successfully condensed seeds, yielding a total of ninety-eight Yuan Spirit Ginseng seeds.
The ripening of the Supreme Saint Demon Fruit was also nearing completion.
A drop of faint green spiritual liquid exuding an incredibly rich vitality quietly appeared in front of him, and then silently fell into the Supreme Saint Demon Fruit.
In an instant, layers of light green ripples swept across the spiritual plant, seeping into the plant's branches and leaves like a silent rain.
Then, the second drop, the third drop.
Lu Xuan looked closely, and the translucent progress bar below the Supreme Saint Demon Fruit was completely full.
"A seventh-grade demon core, two jars of wood spiritual energy, more than ten drops of Wood Elf Juice, and the crucial three drops of Taiyi Green Spirit Liquid, finally successfully ripened this eighth-grade Supreme Saint Demon Fruit."
Lu Xuan reached into the thick demon power and picked the spiritual fruit that exuded amazing demon energy.
Then, without bothering to check the spiritual fruit's information, his eyes were completely attracted by the quietly emerging white light orb.
He gently touched the surface of the light orb, and in an instant, the light orb shattered silently, turning into countless tiny specks of light that soared into the sky, instantly condensing into a slender river of light that disappeared into Lu Xuan's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvested eighth-grade Supreme Saint Demon Fruit, obtained ninth-grade treasure, remnant soul of the Ghost Car.]
As soon as the thought disappeared, a terrifying remnant soul immediately appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
The remnant soul was a huge, nine-headed bird, with a ferocious form, fierce appearance, rolling demon power, and an extremely terrifying aura.
Lu Xuan focused his mind on it and immediately understood its detailed information.
[Remnant Soul of the Ghost Car, ninth-grade treasure, a wisp of remnant soul left by the ancient demon god Ghost Car, can be used to refine high-level magic weapons, become the artifact spirit of the magic weapon, and after years of nurturing, has a certain chance of growing into a Houtian spiritual treasure.]
[If it is refined by a demon beast with the bloodline of the Ghost Car, then its bloodline will be greatly purified, instantly possessing supreme potential, and can easily grow into a demon clan supreme saint.]
