Cultivation begins with the Druid panel

Chapter 168 Purchasing Spirit Seeds

After leaving the medicine shop, the two did not immediately leave the city with the map the old man had given them. Instead, they followed the street to a shop selling spiritual plant seeds.

Compared to the sparsely populated pill shops, this shop was much more crowded. After all, most of the cultivators who settled in Fengcheng had their own land outside the city, where they needed to grow spirit wheat.

Lu Lin arrived at the shop, and soon someone came up to ask him what he wanted.

Lu Lin said, "Get me some seeds of spiritual materials, fifty in total."

Fifty pieces?

Spiritual seed material.

The servant who was serving Lu Lin was taken aback. With this quantity and this way of addressing it, the servant did not think that Lu Lin had come here to buy ordinary spirit wheat seeds.

"Sir, fifty spirit material seeds. Do you want the same kind or different kinds? Also, please tell me the types of spirit materials you want to use so I can help you buy things." The servant rubbed his hands together, and considering Lu Lin's demeanor, he dared not be negligent and respectfully requested.

"Give me ten of each of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. I will check the quality of the seeds myself, and you don't need to exaggerate the price. I'm not an outsider," Lu Lin said, taking out his token.

The servant's pupils constricted upon seeing Lu Lin's Spirit Plant Master token, and his attitude became even more respectful. However, he didn't think Lu Lin was...

He was a spirit plant master and assumed that Lu Lin was a disciple of a spirit plant master who lived in seclusion here. After all, with the servant's limited knowledge, he had no idea that such a young spirit plant master had appeared at the Cliff Academy.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't think that such a person would come to a small place like Fengcheng.

However, this did not prevent him from being respectful to Lu Lin: "Please come with me, sir. Fifty spirit material seeds are no small amount. I need to inform the shopkeeper. Please wait a moment, sir."

Looking at the servant's attitude, Shen Luo felt even worse, which strengthened his resolve to go to the Cliff Academy to take the exam.

Although Fengcheng is a small place, people there handle interpersonal relationships very well.

The maid poured tea for the two of them. The tea was still warm when the servant returned, bringing with him a middle-aged man with a large belly. The man was clearly the shopkeeper.

The middle-aged man was carrying a plate filled with a large number of spiritual plant seeds. The shopkeeper was very respectful to Lu Lin. He placed the plate on the table and said, "Young master, please choose for yourself. These are the best quality seeds in our shop."

Lu Lin looked down and saw that the seeds in the plate were covered with soil, and there was still some residual spiritual energy in the soil. It seemed that the shopkeeper had taken these seeds from the spiritual soil in a hurry.

With his druid's natural senses combined with Lu Lin's own understanding of spiritual plants, he was able to discern the quality of these spiritual plant seeds with just a glance.

The quality is above average.

However, these seeds are generally not very rare, so the spiritual plants grown from them will likely be quite common. This made Lu Lin somewhat dissatisfied.

The middle-aged man, who had been running the shop for over ten years, was adept at reading people. He immediately discerned Lu Lin's emotions from his expression and explained, "Young master, please don't be offended. Fengcheng is a small place, and my shop isn't very big either. Although we have access to the black market and a supply of goods, we can't possibly handle all the high-grade spiritual plant seeds here. If you're truly not satisfied, give me a deposit, and I'll personally make a trip to the big city. Within half a month, I'll definitely find you some top-quality seeds."

Lu Lin shook his head upon hearing this, "No need, these will do. I'll just pick out a few and buy them directly, so there's no need to trouble the shopkeeper to make the trip himself."

Lu Lin could ripen all the seeds in half a month; he didn't have time to waste waiting.

The shopkeeper smiled and gave the servant beside him a wink. The servant immediately ran off and returned with an abacus in his hand.

Lu Lin was selecting seeds while the servant was calculating.

These spiritual material seeds are different from spiritual wheat seeds. Spiritual wheat seeds are priced by weight, while these spiritual material seeds are priced by number. Right now, the price of these fifty seeds is already an astronomical figure for ordinary cultivators.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lu Lin finished selecting the seeds. Almost simultaneously, the servant finished his calculations and said, "Fifty spirit material seeds, priced according to their attributes and quality, total two hundred and thirty-two low-grade spirit stones. Earth and metal attribute seeds are the most expensive, each costing approximately seven spirit stones. Sir, would you mind if this price is acceptable?"

More than two hundred ones?

Lu Lin stroked his chin and nodded slightly. The price was reasonable, even cheaper than he had expected.

It should be known that once these kinds of spiritual materials are planted, even if they are not very old, each plant can be sold for around fifteen low-grade spirit stones. In addition, some spiritual materials can be harvested twice from a single plant, or even flower and bear fruit repeatedly.

The yield from these fifty spirit plant seeds after they mature should be around one thousand low-grade spirit stones.

"Okay." Lu Lin estimated the amount in his mind, took out the corresponding spirit stones from his Qiankun bag, and was about to pay.

But then the shopkeeper said, "Young master, don't worry. My subordinate is a bit naive and acts impulsively. Since you've bought so many spirit plant seeds, I'll just charge you 220 low-grade spirit stones to cover the shipping costs."

The servant remained calm upon hearing this, as if he had expected his manager to say such a thing.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin naturally didn't stand on ceremony and took out two hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones, handing them to the shopkeeper in front of him.

"If you need anything else, young master, please come back to me anytime." The shopkeeper smiled broadly after receiving the spirit stones and personally went downstairs to see Lu Lin and Shen Luo off.

After Lu Lin and Shen Luo disappeared into the crowd, the shopkeeper's smile faded. He turned and tossed a low-grade spirit stone to the servant behind him, saying, "This is your reward. Also, hurry up and replant the remaining seeds he selected in the soil to prevent them from losing their vitality."

The servant quickly took the spirit stone in his hand, his eyes shining.

You should know that his monthly wage in this shop is only two low-grade spirit stones, but today's order is worth half a month's work for him.

After the servant left, the shopkeeper looked again in the direction Lu Lin had gone, secretly making plans in his mind.

Could it be that a spiritual plant master has come to Fengcheng to live in seclusion? Perhaps I should find an opportunity to pay him a visit.

He was a businessman after all; he almost instinctively had such thoughts.
