I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Lu Xuan was not very trusting of this unknown way of obtaining treasures.

On the surface, the rank of the treasures obtained seemed entirely subject to luck, but in reality, the decisive power rested in the hands of the Seventh Grade Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad.

If he rashly chose to offer a treasure in exchange for another, although the success rate of obtaining a high-rank treasure might increase somewhat, that was only relative.

If the treasure he offered was inferior to what the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad spit out, then it would be a loss-making deal.

Lu Xuan even went so far as to suspect the Lord of Thunderfire Star with the utmost malice.

Exchange of treasures might just be to satisfy the special predilection of this high-rank strange beast, to collect treasures for Thunder Fire Asterism Cave.

Thinking this over, Lu Xuan chose to watch from the sidelines for the time being.

But the thoughts of others were not the same as his.

Especially the numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators present, upon hearing that they could obtain unknown treasures from the mouth of a Seventh Grade Spirit Beast, their expectations soared to the highest level.

This was the famous Nascent Soul True Monarch’s Seventh Grade Spirit Beast from the Heavenly Star Cave, where even a trifle spat out was of great value to Foundation Establishment Cultivators. @@novelbin@@

If by chance they were lucky enough to obtain a low-rank magical treasure or a Fifth-Rank Cultivation Method, they might change their fate and henceforth have an unobstructed path in their cultivation, soaring straight up to high skies.

At this thought, many Foundation Establishment Cultivators present felt a surge of excitement.

"The barefoot are not afraid of those with shoes. Although the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad is Seventh Grade, it is now in the Thunder Fire Asterism Cave, under the watchful eyes of all, and it definitely won’t make things difficult for cultivators from other forces."

"Having finally such an opportunity to seize a great chance, if it’s not grasped, there will be restless nights to come."

A Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivator took a deep breath, overcoming the fear in his heart for the Seventh Grade Monster Beast, and approached the toad as large as a hill.

"Please, Senior Shen Chan, bestow a treasure!"

The Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad looked indifferently with its silver-white pupils at the Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who was almost about to kneel down when a pill covered with spirit patterns was spat out from its mouth.

"A Fourth Grade Rearing Yuan Pill!"

The cultivator exclaimed in surprise, his expression one of wild joy.

He didn’t expect to obtain such a rare elixir so easily.

The Rearing Yuan Pill was of fourth grade, and taking it could enhance the spiritual power within the body, being not of little use for his current stage, and its value was no less than eight thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

"Many thanks, Senior Shen Chan!"

He continuously expressed his gratitude to the great toad, still feeling unsatisfied as he withdrew.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators only had one chance, and out of necessity, had to give the opportunity to obtain treasures to others.

"Senior Shen Chan, I have here a fourth-grade Flying Sword of good quality, and I hope senior will like it."

Following, a Foundation Establishment Late-term cultivator stepped forward after seeing the previous person so easily obtain a rare fourth-grade elixir; he decided to take a big gamble, using the fourth-grade Flying Sword he held in exchange for the chance to obtain an even higher-rank treasure.

The Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad snuffled with its nose, and the Flying Sword circulating with spiritual light was suddenly swallowed by the toad, with a cluster of bright light flying out of its mouth.

The Foundation Establishment Late-term cultivator looked expectantly at the cluster of light.

As the radiance faded, an ordinary Spiritual Medicine appeared in front of him.

"Spiritual Medicine... Second Grade?"

The cultivator’s tone was full of disbelief.

He mumbled with his lips a few times, seemingly wanting to ask the great toad if there was a mistake, but in the end, he chose to retire despondently.

Then, one after another, cultivators took the stage, some brimming with emotion and earnestly begging, while others gambling heavily, offering Magical Talismans and Strange Treasures of varying ranks, exchanging items for items.

The outcomes were different for each one, some rejoiced, and some were dismayed.

There were those who without paying any price obtained high-rank rare treasures, and there were also those who offered Fifth Rank Treasures and received treasures whose values were far lower than the former’s.

One of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with just one opportunity, obtained a Sixth Grade Technique, inciting a huge commotion throughout the venue.

Lu Xuan maintained his composure, silently watching.

He noted down all the categories and ranks of the treasures, and observed that although there were some cultivators getting high-grade rare treasures, most people ended up with common ones.

After offering their own treasures, the probability of obtaining a high-grade treasure did indeed increase somewhat, but compared to the total value of the offered treasures, there was no significant disparity.

"Everyone has a similar mindset, always wanting to obtain the highest value with the least cost, or even for nothing. Unfortunately, only a few manage to do so, while the rest merely serve to fill the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad’s coffers."

Looking at the myriad behaviors of the creatures around him, Lu Xuan silently sighed to himself.

"A single strange beast that devours treasures can cause such obsession and madness among them—what if these cultivators learned of the existence of the Light Cluster? Wouldn’t they shatter their cultivation hearts and transform on the spot?"

He made a silent jest to himself.

He still intended to use those three chances he had.

However, whether to freeload three times, securing the guaranteed treasures, or to spend more for a better chance at the lottery, Lu Xuan still needed to weigh his options.

"Perhaps I can start with the giant toad itself."

Lu Xuan did believe that the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad had many Strange Treasures on it, but the probability of drawing them was simply too low.

But he was different; possessing a special ability to thoroughly understand the preferences and disposition of the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad, he might be able to prescribe the right remedy and obtain rare treasures from it.

With this thought, he decided to make good use of those three opportunities.

"Such a pity, such a pity. With three chances, I only got a Fourth Grade Talisman, and the other two items were quite ordinary."

A Jindan Cultivator stepped down with a face full of disappointment, and with a light leap, Lu Xuan came before the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad.

"I pay my respects to Senior Shen Chan."

He respectfully offered his salutation.

The Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad lazily sprawled on the ground, showing no reaction.

Lu Xuan didn’t mind and took out a plump, fresh pink white Spirit Peach from his storage bag.

It was a Third-Rank Bewitching Fairy Peach he had cultivated himself, with an extremely delightful taste and long-term effects of preserving one’s appearance.

"Please bestow a treasure, Senior."

He presented the Mystical Immortal Peach Spirit Fruit in front of the Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad.

A surge of Thunder Qi swept up, swallowing the peach into the giant toad’s mouth.

Simultaneously, a dull glow stealthily shot out, stopping in front of Lu Xuan.

"A Third-grade Charm, not bad, its value is slightly higher than that of the Bewitching Fairy Peach."

Lu Xuan took a quick glance, discreetly pocketing the charm into his storage bag, using the action as a cover while his spirit imperceptibly concentrated on the giant toad before him.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his Sea of Consciousness.

[Treasure Devouring Thunder Toad, a Seventh Grade Monster Beast, proficient in Thunder Method secret techniques, commonly travels through the Void and Realms, fond of collecting various rare treasures from the world, possesses a Spatial Divine Ability, and has created a small world within its belly.]

[Favors consuming Thunder Attribute Spirit Fruits and Flowers.]

[These trinkets in exchange for my collection of treasures! Despicable! Utterly despicable!]

"..."

He hadn’t expected such thoughts from this Seventh Grade Monster Beast.

Lu Xuan thought to himself; nevertheless, he could understand. Being constantly disturbed by ant-like beings hoping to freeload his collection of treasures, it was unavoidable to have a bad mood.

"Excellent, now I know how to conquer this Seventh Grade Strange Beast, whose strength is equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator."

His lips slightly curved upward.

"No one understands Spirit Beasts better than I do."
