Chapter 421: Acquiring the Mountain Soul Pearl, Stone Evolves [Subscribe Please]_3
Luo Qingni's eyes flashed with curiosity and she agreed immediately.
So, Zhou Chun patted the storage pouch on his waist, took out a jade box containing seven blue Spirit Fruits, and set it in front of Luo Qingni after opening the lid.
"These are the Spirit Fruits; I would like Taoist Friend Luo to take a look, please."
He knew as an Alchemy Master, Luo Qingni had a better understanding of Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruits than he did, so he held quite the expectation at that moment.
Luo Qingni did not disappoint him; she merely picked up a Spirit Fruit, scrutinized it carefully, and then looked at him with a surprised expression, asking, "Is this truly obtained by a junior in Taoist Friend Zhang's family?"
Hearing this, Zhou Chun's heart tightened, but he immediately nodded without showing any emotion on his face, "Indeed it is, Taoist Friend Luo, have you recognized this item?"
"That junior of yours is really lucky then!"
Luo Qingni sighed with emotion and then said, "If Qingni is not mistaken, this should be a Bodhi Spirit Fruit from a Fourth-Order Spirit Wood Green Bodhi Tree. It's said that the Green Bodhi Tree only produces this kind of Bodhi Spirit Fruit once in its lifetime, making it extremely rare and precious!"
Fourth-Order Spirit Wood Green Bodhi Tree?
A thought struck Zhou Chun, and he suddenly remembered the Spirit Wood Core he planned to give to Luo Qingni.
Could it be that this Spirit Wood Core was condensed from this Green Bodhi Tree?
As the thoughts whirled in his mind, he looked at Luo Qingni and inquired, "May I ask, Taoist Friend Luo, what is the use of this Green Bodhi Fruit?"
"The uses of the Green Bodhi Fruit are quite significant. Not only can it be used to refine some special Spirit Pills, but consuming it raw can also enhance a cultivator's Divine Sense and even repair damage to the Divine Soul!"
Having said this, Luo Qingni hesitated for a moment then looked at Zhou Chun and spoke, "Qingni is also very interested in this Green Bodhi Fruit. If it's convenient for you, Taoist Friend Zhang, would you be willing to part with a few Spirit Fruits? Qingni is willing to exchange other rare Spiritual Objects or Elixirs!"
Hearing her words, Zhou Chun immediately nodded in response without any hesitation, "Of course, how many do you want?"
It was rare for Luo Qingni to initiate such a request, and Zhou Chun naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to curry favor.
After all, this was an Alchemy Master with a Golden Core Stage Cultivation Level. Given Luo Qingni's status at the moment, simply mentioning her need would have many eagerly offering her gifts.
Other than those forces with Nascent Soul Stage Cultivists, there were few who would not want to maintain a good relationship with an Alchemy Master at the Golden Core stage.
The Green Bodhi Fruit might be very useful, but Zhou Chun had a full seven of them in his possession. Parting with a few to exchange with Luo Qingni was not an issue at all.
Seeing his straightforward answer, Luo Qingni was slightly surprised, and then, understanding his intention, she smiled and said, "Three fruits will be sufficient. The effect diminishes if used consecutively, and consuming too many would serve no purpose."
She finished speaking and looked meaningfully at Zhou Chun, saying, "I just don't know if Taoist Friend Zhang would like to use Elixirs for the exchange, or some other Spiritual Objects?"
Zhou Chun, hearing this, immediately replied, "Could Zhang use a different way to exchange?"
"Oh? What method of exchanging does Taoist Friend Zhang wish?"
Luo Qingni's expression shifted, looking at him with a curious gaze.
"To be honest, when Zhang participated in a past exchange meeting, I actually fell for a treasure held by the Tianzhi Hermit, but fearing too much activity might attract trouble, I dared not trade for it. Therefore, I would like to ask Taoist Friend Luo for help in facilitating an exchange with him!"
"Additionally, Zhang currently possesses three inner cores of a Dragon Descendant Demon Beast. I would like to request Taoist Friend Luo to introduce me to Master Ge Yun, to ask if Master Ge Yun could help refine them into 'Dragon Spirit Pills.'"
Zhou Chun made eye contact with Luo Qingni and spoke his requests in a calm tone.
Regarding asking Luo Qingni for help with exchanging the Mountain Soul Pearl from Tianzhi Hermit, it was an idea he had during the exchange meeting.
And he was sure, given Luo Qingni's post-Core Formation status, that Tianzhi Hermit would be willing to give him the face value.
As for seeking Master Ge Yun to refine the "Dragon Spirit Pill," it was also a necessity.
Over the past few years, inquiries confirmed Master Ge Yun's alchemy tasks were truly packed; taking the regular route, booking was impossible.
This was understandable, especially since the emergence of a multitude of millennial spiritual medicines from the ancient ruins kept these Alchemy Masters incredibly busy.
Luo Qingni probably had received a lot of alchemy requests as well.
Now, as a fellow Loose Cultivator and a successful Core Formation Alchemy Master, if Luo Qingni were willing to speak up, Master Ge Yun would most likely concede and allow him to jump the queue.
What Zhou Chun did not expect, however, was Luo Qingni's immediate response after hearing his request: "The matter of exchanging treasures with Tianzhi Hermit is easy to handle, provided the treasure you offer is indeed what Tianzhi Hermit needs. Qingni can definitely take care of this for you."
"But seeking Master Ge Yun for alchemy might not be possible for now. To my knowledge, he is currently busy refining advanced Spirit Pills suitable for Golden Core Stage Cultivators and simply cannot spare the time to refine 'Dragon Spirit Pills' for you."
Upon saying this, she shifted her tone and added, "Actually, if Taoist Friend Zhang can wait, perhaps in a few years Qingni could refine 'Dragon Spirit Pills' herself. If at that time, you're willing to provide the materials for Qingni to practice with, I would not charge you for the refining costs, and if the yield of the pills is low, I could even compensate you for the material costs!"
