Chapter 35: Wind Spirit Seed

Inside the quiet and comfortable little house.

Gunie and the tree clan elder sat down facing each other.

"You possess such a rare treasure as the Sunflower Fruit, so you must have collected quite a few plant seeds as well, right?"

Gunie smiled noncommittally.

"In that case, I believe you won't refuse this precious overlord-level plant seed."

As he spoke, the tree clan elder turned his hand and produced a wooden box sealed with runic spells.

After reciting a series of incantations, the wooden box slowly opened.

Immediately, Gunie felt a peculiar power of wind spirit bloom before him.

At the same time, Gunie's gaze fell upon the unusual seed.

It was a thumb-sized, peculiar seed that continuously radiated the power of wind spirit.

If not for the restraints within the wooden box holding it in place, it would likely have flown away on its own.

"This is the seed of the Hurricane Mother God Tree from the Source Explosion Windstorm," the tree clan elder said softly.

"It possesses a remarkably high adaptive vitality, as you can see. If you ignore it, it will vanish in the blink of an eye."

"If you can cultivate it, then many years later, you will possess a Hurricane Mother God Tree."

"A fine treasure indeed." Gunie nodded slightly.

"Do you have any other fine items?"

Some things were hard to discuss outside, but here, the tree clan elder did not hold back much.

"Of course."

The tree clan elder brought out two more peculiar plant seeds, both rare overlord-level plants.

But these overlord-level plants had no practical value.

Gunie could only shake his head at this.

Seeing this, the tree clan elder showed no unusual expression.

He himself probably knew that these relatively obscure overlord-level plants were indeed of little value.

"What is the price of the Hurricane Mother God Tree seed?"

Gunie looked at the tree clan elder and asked.

"Twelve hundred Sacred Source Coins." The tree clan elder quoted the price bluntly.

Gunie shook his head.

"The price is too high. I only want it for collection."

For Gunie, the Hurricane Mother God Tree seed was indeed quite good, but only that—merely good.

It was far from indispensable.

If the other party thought he could use this seed to extort Gunie, he was clearly overthinking.

"This is already a very reasonable price," the tree clan elder said softly.

"Senior doesn't really think I can cultivate this seed into a Hurricane Mother God Tree, does he?" Gunie spread his hands.

"If I had that ability, I wouldn't be lacking these seeds."

"This seed is only for collection, nothing more."

"Besides, the Hurricane Mother God Tree in the source power storm high in the sky often drops these seeds."

"If senior doesn't want to sell, that's fine. I might come across one elsewhere."

What Gunie said was true.

Although the seeds of the Hurricane Mother God Tree were somewhat rare, they could still be encountered.

"Then what price do you suggest?"

Gunie pondered for a moment and said softly, "Five hundred Sacred Source Coins."

"That's too little!" The tree clan elder shook his head gently.

"Since senior is unwilling, let's forget it. Let's proceed with the Sunflower Fruit transaction."

"Young man, you must understand that the seeds of the Hurricane Mother God Tree are rare and hard to come by!" the tree clan elder admonished earnestly.

"Senior, my family is poor; I cannot afford such a high price." Gunie also shook his head slightly.

"Six hundred!" Gritting his teeth, the tree clan elder said.

"This is the lowest price. If you are unwilling, then let's proceed with the Sunflower Fruit transaction."

"Six hundred?" Gunie fell into a brief contemplation.

After a moment, Gunie nodded lightly.

"Six hundred Sacred Source Coins, agreed."

If merely for collection, spending six hundred Sacred Source Coins on this Hurricane Mother God Tree seed was indeed quite expensive.

But if it could be cultivated, that would be a different story.

Compared to the value of cultivation, the price of the seed was indeed a drop in the bucket.

"Then, how many Sunflower Fruits do you have?"

"Twenty, with two extra that I have other uses for." After thinking it over, Gunie replied.

"Twenty fruits, priced at two thousand six hundred Sacred Source Coins. Deducting six hundred for the Hurricane Mother God Tree seed, the total is two thousand Sacred Source Coins."

"Then please bring out the Sunflower Fruits," the tree clan elder said.

Gunie took out the Sunflower Fruits he had prepared earlier and began the transaction with the tree clan elder.

About ten minutes later.

Having completed the transaction, Gunie left the Tree Heart Cottage with two thousand Sacred Source Coins and the Hurricane Mother God Tree seed.

Walking along the street, Gunie's demonic sub-soul was already immersed in the system interface.

First, he removed the elite Sea Demon Tree seed, then opened the box sealing the Hurricane Mother God Tree seed in the transcendent storage space.

Then, Gunie directly placed the "Hurricane Mother God Tree seed," imbued with powerful wind spirit power, into the fifth planting slot.

As soon as it was planted, the seed flashed and instantly sank into the soil.

At the same time, the entire planting space was filled with an intense aura of wind spirit power, creating a perfect environment for nurturing the Hurricane Mother God Tree seed.

A smile curled at the corner of Gunie's mouth.

"Once the Hurricane Mother God Tree grows and produces Wind Spirit Fruits, by continuously digesting them, my physical body will naturally generate the power of wind spirit, gradually becoming a favored child of the wind."

"While the Holy Shadow Rune strengthens the body and internally enhances physical speed, the Wind Spirit Fruit improves the harmony between the body and the natural world—an external enhancement."

"Combined, they will make my speed incredibly fast."

"More importantly, the Wind Spirit Fruit is extremely valuable. A single fruit is worth tens of thousands of Sacred Source Coins, and it's in short supply."

"In the future, when I no longer need them, selling them off will also be quite profitable."

"This transaction was a huge win."

"Currently, I have seven thousand five hundred Sacred Source Coins on hand."

"I don't have many Sunflower Fruits left. For now, the plan is to sell Life Spring Water. Although its price isn't high, the problem is that I have a very large quantity."

"By selling gradually, I can eventually gather ten thousand Sacred Source Coins."

"With ten thousand Sacred Source Coins, I can reliably purchase a decent mid-grade spell staff."

"With a mid-grade spell staff, my strength will increase further, and entering the Divine Arena will be much safer."

Then, Gunie began visiting various subsequent trade associations to sell Life Spring Water.

Each time, Gunie sold only a small amount, but it still brought in two to three hundred Sacred Source Coins.

While selling, Gunie was also very cautious to avoid being targeted.

After all, in this ancient city filled with many transcendent masters and numerous divine envoys and ancestral spirits,

Although Gunie's wealth was not great, being targeted would still cause trouble.

Fortunately, Gunie was careful enough.

Along the way, nothing went wrong.
