Chapter 436: Mysterious Seed
Upon hearing these words, Sect Master Han couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The Qingxu Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a top-notch Alchemy Sect. Even a Foundation Building Disciple from their sect can create their Pill Recipe at will."
However, he doesn't seem confident in this Pill created by a Foundation Building Disciple.
Then he continued, "Wang, my young friend, you are truly exceptional. You've already managed to create your own Pill Recipe. I assume the effects of this Pill are quite impressive. Would it be possible for me to examine one?"
Wang Hong anticipated the request and replied, "Of course, that can be arranged." He understood that a new, untested Pill would naturally raise curiosity.
Without hesitation, he took out a translucent Hanyu Pill and handed it to Sect Master Han.
Sect Master Han, as a seasoned Golden Core cultivator, had broad knowledge, and though he was not an alchemist, his ability to discern the quality of items was decent. After examining the Pill for a while, he was confident in its effectiveness and asked, "I wonder, Wang, how do you intend to make the trade?"
Wang Hong pondered for a moment before responding, "I would like to exchange three Jade Marrow Pills for two Golden Dewspirit fruits. Additionally, I'd request five other Spiritual Objects of equal value, such as spirit fruits, spirit wood, or refining tool materials."
"Very well! I can agree to that. However, can the Golden Dewspirit fruits be substituted with other Spiritual Objects? Our sect had to retreat in haste and didn't have time to gather them," Sect Master Han inquired.
"I currently have a great need for Golden Dewspirit fruits. If they are not included, I'm afraid I won't be able to proceed with the exchange," Wang Hong replied firmly. He simply couldn't believe that Sect Master Han's sect didn't possess any Golden Dewspirit fruits.
Golden Dewspirit fruits were a specialty of the Taihao Sect, with effects similar to the Qingxu Sect's Five-Color Spirit Jujube. Both could assist in Core cultivation and increase the success rate. It was inconceivable that they would leave such a valuable resource behind during their retreat.
While Golden Dewspirit fruits had their uses, Wang Hong's Jade Marrow Pill could directly save the life of a Golden Core cultivator. Considering their relative value, the Jade Marrow Pill was naturally more precious.
"Perhaps some of the other elders in our sect have Golden Dewspirit fruits. I will inquire and get back to you," Sect Master Han conceded, recognizing Wang Hong's determination.
"Very well, I will await Sect Master Han's response," Wang Hong replied, confident that the trade would eventually be accepted since his offer was reasonable considering the value of the Jade Marrow Pill.
As Sect Master Han mentioned this, he surreptitiously observed Wang Yi, who appeared to be growing increasingly excited.
Wang Hong, as a refining tool master, was well aware of the value of these materials and nodded in agreement.
"This Spirit Herb is Rainbow Light Grass, another rare third-tier Spiritual Herb. As an Alchemist, I believe you understand its worth without further explanation. As for this seed, it was obtained by a senior Nascent Soul cultivator from our sect within an ancient relic. However, we haven't found the right planting method for it. Rest assured, this item is far from ordinary, and you'll see for yourself," Sect Master Han explained.
Wang Hong accepted the seed with mixed feelings. To his surprise, it felt surprisingly heavy for its small size. When he probed it with his Divine Sense, he sensed a vast vitality within.
Although he couldn't identify the seed's species from various examinations, he could still sense its extraordinary nature.
"Sect Master Han, although this item appears remarkable, if it cannot sprout, it may not be of much use to me, right?" Wang Hong pretended to be somewhat dissatisfied, though he was already quite intrigued. He believed that with the mystical capabilities of his Space, it should be possible to make it sprout, making it worth a try.
"Wang, my young friend, you are mistaken. This item is not incapable of sprouting; we simply haven't discovered the correct planting method yet. If Taihao Sect succeeds in planting it, its value will far exceed what you currently see," Sect Master Han assured him.
Ultimately, Wang Hong reluctantly agreed to this trade condition, and both parties were satisfied with the deal.
After Sect Master Han's departure, Wang Hong asked Wang Yi, "You seemed a bit unusual earlier. Is there anything wrong with these items?"
Wang Yi scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "There's nothing wrong with these items themselves, but these three refining tool materials are more suitable for sword cultivators. If they are incorporated into a sword embryo, it would greatly enhance the power of a Flying Sword."
"In that case, you can have these three refining tool materials; I don't need them at the moment," Wang Hong said. He realized that Sect Master Han had likely planned this from the beginning. He had traded the items to Wang Hong, only to have them return to the hands of his Taihao Sect disciple, ensuring that no benefits would flow to outsiders.
