"Of course! If Senior Uncle Gu Yuan asks, there's no issue at all. We're all working hard to fight against the Demon Clan," Wang Hong readily agreed. It wasn't a big deal, and even the Golden Core Elders had offered their help. Refusing would be impolite.
"Rest assured, we won't let you be at a loss. If you have any requests, feel free to ask," Gu Yuan said.
Wang Hong pondered for a moment before speaking, "Disciple happens to have a request. Disciple needs a large quantity of Demonic Beast materials. If the two Senior Uncles have any to spare, I hope we can trade."
"That's not a problem. We happen to have an abundance of Demonic Beast materials piled up, and we've been wondering how to deal with them," they both replied.
As Golden Core Elders stationed here, they had amassed a considerable amount of loot, and most of it was of high quality.
"Later, you can bring people to my temporary cave mansion for the trade. There's too much stuff here, and it's a good opportunity to clear it out," Gu Yuan ordered after taking a sip of wine.
At this moment, Sloppy Old Daoist seemed to suddenly think of something and asked Wang Hong, "By the way, Wang, I suddenly have a question. I noticed you've collected so many Demonic Beast corpses, but not all of them can be used to make Spirit Meals, right? Some of the Demonic Beast corpses you've collected are inedible. What's your purpose for them?"
Sloppy Old Daoist, being a seasoned food lover, was naturally well-acquainted with which Demonic Beasts were edible and which were not. This had puzzled him because Wang Hong's East Zhou trading company had practically taken all the Demonic Beast corpses they encountered.
Wang Hong didn't find Sloppy Old Daoist's question strange. This matter was bound to attract attention sooner or later.
"Disciple picks up Demonic Beast corpses for a different purpose. Senior Uncles, please take a look at this," Wang Hong said. He then retrieved a bottle of pills from his storage bag and poured out two pills for them to examine.
They each took a pill, inspected it closely, and even scraped off some powder to taste.
"If you trust Disciple, you can try one pill each, and you'll understand its effects," Wang Hong suggested.
Most cultivators were cautious when it came to pills they didn't recognize, as consuming them without care could be deadly. However, these two were both experienced and daring. After Wang Hong's suggestion, they directly swallowed the pills.
Wang Hong reached into a Spirit Beast bag and took out a large spirit wood. The roots of the spirit wood were planted in a huge flowerpot, and it had several large cocoons wrapped around its branches.
After taking out the spirit wood, it swung the remaining branches towards the three of them. In the presence of the two Golden Core cultivators, the spirit wood naturally couldn't display hostility.
"I vaguely remember this item. It's said to grow in a secret realm, but I've never had the chance to see it with my own eyes. Is this what you mean by 'Spiritual Objects'?" Sloppy Old Daoist, relying on his Golden Core stage vision, could naturally see what was wrapped in the cocoons on the tree.
"I don't know the exact name of this kind of spirit wood, so I call it the 'demon-hunting tree.' I obtained it from a secret place years ago and carefully cultivated it. If you feed it with Demonic Beast corpses, it grows quite rapidly. After absorbing the Demonic Beast flesh, it can produce golden seeds. I used the seeds from this tree as the main ingredient to refine the Essence Core Pill," Wang Hong explained.
At this moment, Gu Yuan had already thrown a Demonic Beast corpse towards the spirit tree. While the beast's corpse was still in the air, it was entangled by countless branches and wrapped up into a cocoon within moments.
"Do you have more of this spirit wood? And how do you cultivate it?" Gu Yuan inquired.
"I do have a few of these spirit trees left. As for cultivation, you just need to plant the seeds directly. They can thrive as long as the location has sufficient Spiritual Energy," Wang Hong replied. He had tried planting the seeds outside previously, and they did indeed sprout and grow, although the growth rate was slower when there were no Demonic Beasts to hunt.
"Wang nephew, can you sell one of these spirit trees to me?" Gu Yuan now urgently wanted to acquire one of these trees for observation and research.
"Of course! How about this one? What would you like in exchange?" Wang Hong asked, not having a specific item in mind.
"That's excellent! Wang nephew, what would you like in exchange?" Gu Yuan asked enthusiastically. He hadn't expected Wang Hong to agree so readily. These trees were almost like money trees.
At this point, Wang Hong hadn't decided what he wanted in exchange, so he said, "Senior Uncle Gu, you can decide what to give in return."
