C18 Soul Spirit Grass

Due to the second main Profound Vein containing an unknown poison, it was unable to continue opening the Minor Profound Vein. Lu Jun wanted to find out the origin of this poison, so he chatted with Uncle Fu and found out about a part of his experience in the Void.

It turned out that sixteen years ago, when South Marquis led his troops and fought with Miaoyi... He was suddenly attacked and was separated from his pregnant wife while fleeing. Later, South Marquis changed the situation and turned defeat into victory. He sent people to look for his wife everywhere. After searching for nearly a month, he finally found his dying wife in a mysterious mountain.

After many days of recuperation, South Marquis's wife finally recovered a little. However, she was delirious and often spoke nonsense. Her body and bones were also very weak. After giving birth to Lu Jun, she closed her eyes forever. After Lu Jun was born, he had always been weak and sickly. South Marquis had hired countless famous doctors. He had finally grown so big safely after using so many medicines.

After listening to this part of the past, Lu Jun came to a conclusion. This poison was infected when he was still a child.

It seemed that if he wanted to find out the type of poison, he would have to personally go to the mysterious mountain to find out. [However, it is said that the mysterious mountain is extremely dangerous, and it is thousands of miles away. It is impossible to go there now.]

He had not been idle these past few days. He had been researching and experimenting.

During this time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that even though the poison couldn't be cured, he could still forcefully push the poison forward. Finally, he forced the poison into the first Minor Profound Vein. After waiting for a long time, he realized that there were no negative consequences. Thus, he forced it to the second, third...

Although this method was difficult, he could at least continue cultivating.

However, when he opened the fifth Minor Profound Vein, his speed clearly decreased by a lot.

He knew that it was because the poison in the Purple Wood King Cauldron was lacking. The reason why he could increase his speed was because the Purple Wood King Cauldron refined the poison into a unique medicine, shortening the time needed to settle down.

The Purple Wood King Cauldron itself would not produce any medicine, so it had to absorb the poison to refine it.

Originally, it had devoured a large amount of poison from the poisonous insects, and later on, it had absorbed the poison from three poison pills. As his cultivation increased, the amount of medicine he needed increased, and soon, all of the poison was used up.

The urgent matter at hand was to think of a way to replenish the poison.

However, as his cultivation base increased, the level of the poison required for the Purple Wood King Cauldron also increased. The poison in the bodies of the ordinary scorpions were no longer effective. Even if he caught these poisonous creatures and placed them in front of him, the Purple Wood King Cauldron wasn't interested in them at all. Just like a person who was used to eating delicacies, he did not care about the pickled vegetables.

After pondering for a while, Lu Jun decided to personally refine the poison pill.

It was not easy to become a poison maker. First of all, one must possess a powerful psychic force.

A powerful psychic force could see things that others couldn't, hear things that others couldn't, touch places that others couldn't, and feel things that others couldn't.

Any extraordinary master, such as alchemists, artificers, and beast tamers, were all experts of the psychic force.

An ordinary person's psychic force was around half a star. If it was above one star... It could be said to be a powerful psychic force. Such a person could be said to be one in ten thousand in the Ming Empire. Generally speaking, a person's psychic force was born from the Xiantian realm, and it would be fixed after birth. Although it could also be improved by nourishing food or medicine, there was a very limited amount of room for improvement.

Lu Jun's reborn body had changed. Fortunately, his psychic force was still there with his Spiritual Sense.

His psychic force had reached two stars.

If it wasn't for the psychic force, he wouldn't have been able to detect the Purple Wood King Cauldron in his dantian.

It was impossible for an ordinary human to reach such a high level. However, if he reached the Spirit Dao, he could use his own cultivation and the nourishment of the herbs to improve his cultivation.

In fact, this was also the reason why Lu Jun had such a powerful psychic force.

When the psychic force reached one star, he would have the qualification to become a poison maker.

However, just the psychic force alone was not enough to become a poison maker, and he still needed a Light Soul Lamp.

The main purpose of the Light Soul Lamp was to gather the psychic force.

One had to know that whether it was concocting pills, crafting weapons, beast tamers, or concocting poison, it required a great amount of mental energy and was also extremely dangerous. Once the psychic force could not be concentrated, it was very likely that one's life would be in danger.

If one was unable to gather the Light Soul Lamp, then it was absolutely impossible for one to become an extraordinary master.

If one wanted to obtain the Light Soul Lamp, then one would need to rely on the Soul Spirit Grass.

The Soul Spirit Grass was an extremely rare spiritual herb, and it mainly grew on islands with harsh environments. Moreover, it would be protected by the sea tribe's fierce beasts. Due to the miraculous effects of the Soul Spirit Grass, its price was extremely expensive, and it attracted many adventurers who were seeking wealth to risk their lives to pick it.

Lu Jun knew that the Soul Spirit Grass was extremely rare. He originally wanted to come out and try his luck, but he didn't expect that there would be one in the Black Tortoise Trading Company. He was rather overjoyed. As for the price that the steward reported, it was also within his expectations.

Although ten thousand taels of silver was a lot, the steward didn't ask for an exorbitant price.

Lu Jun nodded and said, "This price is not expensive. I wonder if you can take out the Soul Spirit Grass and let me take a look."

"Of course this is what I should do."

The steward immediately went to retrieve an exquisite and long sandalwood wooden box. He opened it and took a look. First, he smelled the fishy smell of seawater mixed with the intoxicating fragrance. After smelling it, he immediately felt refreshed. Then, he saw that there was a jadeite spiritual grass in the wooden box. The spiritual grass faintly flickered with ripples of light. One look and one could tell that it was an extraordinary thing.

Lu Jun was secretly delighted when he saw that it was a Soul Spirit Grass, and it was one of the high quality ones.

In order to prevent the loss of medicinal qi, the manager quickly closed the box.

"What does this young master think?"

Lu Jun said, "The quality is not bad. It is considered a treasure in the Soul Spirit Grass. I want this Soul Spirit Grass for sure. However, I came out in a hurry and did not prepare so much silver taels. Why don't we pay the deposit first and come back tomorrow to collect it? How about it?"

The steward smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem."

Although the Soul Spirit Grass was precious, not everyone could use it. And it was so expensive, to be able to meet a buyer so quickly. The manager naturally hoped to complete this business. Furthermore, 10,000 taels of silver was not a small amount. No one would casually put so much money on them.

Lu Jun did not have any silver taels on him. He only had four useless Profound Spar on him.

Profound Spar might not be useful in the ordinary market, but in the martial market, it was the same as silver taels.

Just as he was about to take out the Profound Spar as a deposit, suddenly... "With a bang, a hand pressed down on a silver taels and placed it on the counter. A crisp voice sounded, "Manager, this is a silver note worth ten thousand taels. I want this Soul Spirit Grass."

There was actually someone who casually took out ten thousand taels of silver.

This person looked extremely young, no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. He was petite, with red lips, white teeth, and delicate skin. Although he was dressed in men's clothing, it was easy to tell that he was dressed in a woman's attire.

That steward was also considered a person of his own character. He smiled and said, "Young Master, you're a step late. This Soul Spirit Grass has already been decided by this Young Master."

“ Oh?"

The girl glanced at Lu Jun and said, "What's the use of lying? I paid the full amount. This Soul Spirit Grass should naturally be mine. " After saying that, she stretched out her slender hand and took the wooden box containing the Soul Spirit Grass.

Pah!

Her hand was fast enough, but her other hand was even faster, pressing down on her hand.

Immediately, her handsome and fair face flushed red. Her body trembled, and she used all her strength to pull her hand away. However, she was pressed very tightly, and was unable to pull it out for a moment. She was so angry that her face became even redder.

She angrily said, "Take your dirty hand away, or else don't blame this young master for being impolite."

Lu Jun held her hand down mainly to test her cultivation. One should know that he might encounter danger at any time when he went out this time. Just as the Black Tortoise Trading Company was about to close its business, this girl who was disguised as a man suddenly appeared. She came to compete with him for the Soul Spirit Grass, causing him to have no choice but to become suspicious. It was very likely that this was a trap.

When the young girl saw Lu Jun obediently take his hand away, she was delighted in her heart. When she was about to take the wooden box away, she didn't expect Lu Jun to grab the other side of the wooden box. In her anger, she forcefully struck out her palm toward Lu Jun's chest. She wanted to force him to let go. Who knew that before the palm hit him, his wrist was tightly gripped. Immediately following that, a powerful Genuine Qi struck her, knocking her onto the ground.

If Lu Jun did not see that her cultivation was still shallow and could not pose a threat to him, he would have killed her long ago.

The young girl sat on the ground with her butt on the ground. She was so angry that her cheeks were bulging.

"You evil thief! Not only did you steal my things, you even dared to hit me! Hmph!" After saying that, she stood up and pointed at Lu Jun. "Just you wait. Someone will come and teach you a lesson." Then, she threw her face away and left.

Lu Jun frowned and thought, This girl is really unruly.

He returned the sandalwood box to the Manager and said, "Manager, I hope you can keep the Soul Spirit Grass well. I will definitely come and get it tomorrow morning." As he spoke, he placed the four Profound Spar on the counter as a deposit.

The Manager had a worried look on his face as he said, "Young Master, you have caused a huge disaster. I advise you not to think about the Soul Spirit Grass anymore. You should hurry up and escape."

"Escape?" Lu Jun asked curiously, "Why?"

The steward stammered, "This... Actually, I wanted to advise you just now, but... Sigh! Anyway, young master, listen to my advice and leave quickly. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of people walking in from outside the door.

The girl who was dressed as a man just now was walking in front. She was very aggrieved as she pointed and pointed at a white clothed man beside her, telling him something.

Seeing this group of people come in aggressively, the employees in the store were so scared that they moved aside one after another. They were afraid that they would cause trouble. The steward originally only suspected the girl's identity, but when he saw the white clothed man clearly, he confirmed it without a doubt. He looked at Lu Jun with sympathy, then went up to greet him.

He walked up to the girl, first cupped his hands and bowed to her, then said with a smile, "I have eyes but failed to see. I didn't know that the princess was here. I was really rude just now."

The girl snorted and did not respond.

The steward smiled awkwardly and bowed to the man in white. He said, "First Prince, you have come. I apologize for not welcoming you. Please forgive me."
