The two entered the pharmacy.

Lu Xuan finally spoke, voicing his confusion, "Steward He, you've got me all puzzled. What's really going on?"

"It's mainly because we ran into that young miss here, so I got a bit anxious," the lean old man gestured toward the inner room, pulling Lu Xuan into a corner.

"Do you know the master behind the Hundred Herbs Hall? One of the most renowned alchemists in the Lin Yangfang Market," he said.

"The one we just met is his granddaughter, exceptionally talented. She's already at the mid-level of Qi cultivation at your age, greatly favored by the master and authorized to handle most affairs within the Hall."

"I see," Lu Xuan nodded upon hearing Steward He's explanation.

"But what about this Blood Jade Ginseng?" he asked.

"You're just a freelance cultivator of average spirit plants. The young miss doesn't fully trust you, so she can only entrust average-quality spirit species for you to cultivate."

"However, I believe in your abilities. You'll soon be no less than those skilled spirit planters in the Hall."

"As for the Blood Jade Ginseng I mentioned earlier, I was afraid you might not be familiar with those types of spirit plants and make the wrong choices. So, I took the liberty of deciding for you. I hope you don't mind."

Lu Xuan quickly shook his head, "I'm grateful, why would I mind?"

Having dealt with Steward He on numerous occasions, he could sense the goodwill directed towards him.

"Among the first-grade spirit species, the Blood Jade Ginseng has the lowest requirements for spiritual fields and qi. Its cultivation conditions are simple," Steward He explained. "When the Hall recovers them, they fetch a reasonable price. It's considered the most cost-effective among these spirit plants."

"The only downside is that its cultivation method is a bit intricate. But seeing your dedication to planting spirit species rather than focusing on cultivation, it's the most suitable for you."

Lu Xuan's progress in cultivating spirit plants was rapid. Plus, he had previously mentioned to the old man that his main focus was on planting, so, weighing the options, Steward He chose the first-grade Blood Jade Ginseng for him.

Lu Xuan didn't confirm or refute the thin old man's perception of him as an ordinary second-level cultivator.

"Thank you, Old He, I can't thank you enough!" he grinned, flashing a set of white teeth.

"Then how about I make these spirit plants cheaper for you?" Steward He squinted, a sly smile appearing on his wrinkled face.

"No, the relationship between us is not something mere spirit stones can measure," Lu Xuan politely declined.

"I knew you'd value spirit stones more than life. Can I take a look at them?" Steward He joked.

He felt like he had hit the jackpot instantly!

"In that case, I'll take a hundred Spirit Firefly Grass spirit species and twenty Blood Jade Ginseng spirit species."

Among the two matured spirit plants, only the Spirit Firefly Grass could grant him cultivation rewards, so he planned to plant more of it.

He projected an image of himself as a planter who had given up on cultivation, but in reality, he still had a strong desire for power.

After all, in a realm where strength reigned supreme, having solid personal power provided more security and freedom.

The spirit stones he had just earned were spent in an instant.

Lu Xuan held the acquired spirit species, feeling amazed inside.

Returning to the new courtyard, Lu Xuan activated the array disk to open the formation and arrived at the spiritual field in the backyard.

From Steward He's instructions, he knew that Blood Jade Ginseng spirit species had to be kept in a special way, and once taken out, they had to be planted quickly, or their vitality would rapidly diminish.

Without delay, he took out a flat jade box and removed a small, intricate talisman attached to it.

Opening the box, twenty red seeds resembling jade stones caught his eye

, emitting a faint red mist with a slight chill on their surface.

This was a method to slow down the vitality loss of the Blood Jade Ginseng spirit species.

Lu Xuan quickly took the spirit species out of the box, activating his spiritual power.

Under the guidance of the Earth Attraction Technique, the spiritual field in front of him immediately cracked open in tiny fissures.

"The Blood Jade Ginseng, a first-grade spirit plant. When matured, it can be used as the main ingredient for most low-grade Qi and blood type elixirs."

"Once planted, both the spirit species and the plants themselves are restless in the spiritual soil. If they sense the same species, they will attract each other. After a long time together, they will plunder each other's vitality until one withers away."

Gathering his spiritual consciousness, Lu Xuan understood the detailed information about the Blood Jade Ginseng.

"This Blood Jade Ginseng seems to be a bit rebellious," he couldn't help but remark.
