Chapter 56: Insect Eggs
e sure to die. There was absolutely no chance of survival.>To use the Lei Zhu was tantamount to mutual destruction. Countless thoughts flashed through Lu Xia Tian's mind, but for this almost unsolvabl...The gigantic moon-viewing city wall, constructed of azure stones, once again came into view. The hooves of the spirit beasts riding upon it clicked against the surface with a crisp sound.
"How did so many soldiers appear" Lu Xia Tian was taken aback seeing hundreds of soldiers in spirit armor, standing in battle formation at the city gate.
"Lu brother, you might not know that the few days before the Xianmen recruits disciples, Wan Yue City is the busiest time, but it's also the most mixed with good and bad. Thieves and troublemakers are more numerous than usual. Therefore, guards have been increased at every city gate, and the number of patrol teams in the city has tripled." Luo Yuan explained with a smile.
After passing through the guards' inspection, Lu Xia Tian stepped into the city gate. He found that the crowds on the streets were several times denser than usual, and the vendors were even more crowded, with shouts of hawkers everywhere.
After entering the city, Zhang Guang and Zheng Shiqi's weapons were damaged, so they planned to go to the blacksmith's shop for repair. They bid farewell first.
"Lu Ge, I have a lot of spiritual objects, and I'm just about to set up a stall. Why don't we do it together" Luo Qing looked at Lu Xiaodao expectantly.
“No, I’m still missing a few spirit materials to join the sect. I might as well go look for them.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head. Setting up a stall was too inefficient; he could find them faster himself.
Luo Qing watched Lu Xiaoteng shuttle through the crowd, her face couldn't hide a hint of disappointment.
"Sister, don't think too much. Brother Lu has a meticulous mind and is devoted to the path of cultivation. He is definitely not an ordinary person. It's estimated that he will join a sect in one or two years. By then, the distance between you two will be greater, and he probably won't think that way."
Luo Yuan sighed and said, towards Luo Qing's thoughts, he understood them all too well.
"Big brother, where are you going Me neither. I didn't think much about it. Besides, you're already at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and I'm about to enter the middle stage of Qi Refining. Joining a sect isn't entirely hopeless."
Luo Qing first blushed, turning her head away, but her eyes held a firm expression. One day, she would also complete the task of the cultivating immortal sect, and perhaps by then the distance between them wouldn't be so far.
"I have Fire Crystals here. They are only being exchanged for Star Jade. If you have any Star Jade, come and exchange them quickly, once they're gone, they're gone!"
"Qingyucarass, the spirit grass needed for Lingxiao Palace's mission, exchange it for juvenile crow ore!" A white-haired, young-looking round-faced old man shouted loudly, his selling effort not inferior to the young man beside him.
"I do have some Chiwu ore here, but this piece is rather large. Perhaps we could find a blacksmith's forge later and have a portion cut off." Lu Xia Tian took out a black, shimmering ore and said.
"This, this young brother, could you show me the ore in your hand" Seeing Lu Xiaoteng's black crystal ore, the old man with crane hair spoke in a trembling voice, sounding abnormally excited.
“Of course.” Lu Xia Tian nodded.
“Genuine, it's truly a piece of jadeite!” The old man with crane-like hair let out a sigh and used his worn sleeves to gently wipe the surface a few times. His aged face flushed red, as if he had grown younger in an instant.
“Can you buy the extra parts with Spirit Stones Or can you also exchange them for other spiritual objects”
A crane-haired elder emptied his storage pouch in a flurry, revealing a motley assortment of spirit herbs and hundreds of spirit stones of various types.
Lu Xiaitian was surprised. This old man was only at the sixth level of Qi refinement, yet he had so many spirit stones. However, since they were in Wangyue City, he wasn't afraid of others taking them. Otherwise, in the Wangyue Mountains, this old man with white hair would probably not survive a few days.
“Joining the Luo Sha Men only requires a small piece of Chi Wu Stone. What do you need so many for” Lu Xiao Tian asked curiously.
The old man with white hair chuckled and said, "Let me tell you, my family are all cultivators. I'm an old man nearing the end of my life. I've been unable to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime. But my two sons, if they can both enter Luosha Gate together, having each other to look after will naturally be better. If you don't mind, come with me to my son's stall and see if there's anything you need."
Lu Xia tian nodded, it seems this family is quite determined. It's not easy for others to gather a set of spiritual objects to join the sect, but this elder wants to gather two sets. It seems that this family not only has good luck, but their strength is probably also extremely powerful.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Friend, would you sell this Huoxixi Demon Pill How many spirit stones"
After walking down two streets, in front of a blacksmith shop called Lianbao Pavilion, a person wearing a conical hat asked a middle-aged cultivator with a horse face dressed in black.
"Get lost! This Fire Rhinoceros Demon Pill is one of the Taichung sect's mission items. It can't be bought with spirit stones now, it's only exchanged for spiritual objects." The middle-aged man with a horse face dismissed the other person.
“Well, this is my son.” The old man with crane-hair awkwardly rubbed his nose.
“Dad, you're not at the market stall, what brings you here” After sending the other person away, Ma Lian’s middle-aged man saw Lu Xiaitian and the two of them.
The old man with white hair explained the situation, and the middle-aged man with a horse face immediately said enthusiastically, "So you have juvenile crow ore in your hands. Come on, take a look at these things. If you want to exchange any of them, just speak up."

"There's nothing I want to exchange. What are these, spiritual insect eggs" Lu Xia Tian fluttered among the many spiritual creatures, but didn't find what he wanted. However, he did see a few orange-yellow eggs with a few light gray lines on them. They were exactly like the description of the Qichu Pojie Insect eggs in the Spiritual Insect True Solution. The Pojie Insect itself wasn't very aggressive, but it could break some strange restrictions."
“No, no. These eggs are something I found accidentally in the Moonlit Mountains. They seemed rather peculiar, so I brought them back to hatch and see what was inside. However, these things are impervious to both water and fire, and they still haven't hatched. If you were to trade some Jade Stones for these spiritual artifacts, I wouldn’t mind giving you these eggs as well.” The middle-aged man with a horse face shrugged and said.
“As for your spirit beast, I don't really want anything specific. Just use spirit stones to trade, two-thirds of the juvenile Wu Stone in exchange for Qingyu Grass, eight hundred spirit stones, and these few insect eggs.” Lu Xia Tian pondered for a moment before giving his price.
“Okay, then let’s do it that way.”
Before the middle-aged man with a horse face could even speak, the white-haired old man readily agreed. A piece of juvenile sparrow stone itself is quite expensive. In normal times, one-third of a piece would cost about two or three hundred lower grade spirit stones. But as it was a mission item for the Luo Sha Gate and also the main material for refining the Juvenile Sparrow Sword, its price being several times higher than usual was perfectly normal. The problem wasn't just the high price; there was nowhere to buy it. If they got their hands on it, they could easily turn around and make over a hundred spirit stones. Ordinary loose cultivators couldn't afford it, but the cultivating families of望月 city had the means.clutches by using my teleportation technique.” Lu Xia Tian sent a voice transmission to Xiang Kuang. “Let’s separate and flee. Perhaps one of us can survive.”"What the hell are you talking about" Xian...
