Chapter 271 Gentle Breeze and Lotus Mist.
"Worth it, worth it, of course it's worth it!" The Fragrant Qiluo Immortal nodded repeatedly.
As the saying goes, those who know when to yield are the heroes; only those who can bend and stretch can live long. None of the three of them had much fighting power; if they didn't back down now, when would they? If they kept hiding and angered that human, they would die unjustly.
After much hesitation, a ball of purple light slowly rose from the stamen of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal's flower.
This purple light looked very gentle, without any domineering aura. It was just a cherry-sized purple bead, looking very much like amethyst, but inside that crystal-clear bead, one could faintly see a layer of light, like mist, gently pulsating, which was quite strange.
"This is the Qiluo Heart I have condensed over ten thousand years; please accept it, sir!" After the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal took out the Qiluo Heart, the entire flower instantly dimmed considerably.
Wu Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and put it away, then looked at the Qiluo Tulip and the Snow-White Swan Kiss.
The two herbs understood each other. A burst of platinum-gold light trembled around the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, and when the light completely subsided, a teardrop-shaped, snow-white pearl appeared before it.
The Swan Snow Pearl.
Having lost its essence, the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss's originally radiant body dimmed by half.
The Qiluo Tulip trembled, releasing specks of golden pollen that gathered before it. When this pollen appeared, its rich, opulent fragrance even overpowered the delicate floral scent of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb.
Tulip pollen!
Without the pollen, the Qiluo Tulip's aura weakened considerably, but its overall condition was still much stronger than the two flowers of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb.
Wu Xuan took out two jade boxes and collected the pollen released by the Qiluo Tulip and the essence of the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, respectively.
"Alright, these are enough for me to put one more. Who do you choose?" Wu Xuan released his grip on Liehuo Xingjiaoshu and Shuixian Yujigu, throwing the question to the three immortal herbs.
"Ah~! Can't we put them all? Ajiao and Ashui also have the essence of immortal herbs that have been condensed for ten thousand years. Can't these be used as ransom?" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin asked weakly.
"You need to understand one thing. These two are already prisoners in my hands. Do you have the habit of using spoils of war as ransom?" Wu Xuan was surrounded by black wind. Feeling the soul power in his body flowing away wildly again, the three immortal herbs fell silent again.
"Who do you choose? If you don't choose, then don't choose any of them!" Wu Xuan continued to press.
"Choose Ashui! As the ultimate fire, I, Ajiao, am not afraid of death!" Liehuo Xingjiaoshu said proudly, her body as white as a cabbage.
"Choose Ajiao! She is the strongest among us. You need her protection." Shuixian Yujigu said softly.
The three immortal herbs huddled together and whispered for a while. Finally, the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb looked at Wu Xuan and said, "We choose the Fiery Apricot and Jiao Shu."
"Are you sure?" Wu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"No, no, Youyou didn't finish speaking. We chose Ajiao, but you took her away!" The Qiluo Tulip poked its head out and objected.
"Take Ajiao away! Ajiao attacked you first. We were all instigated by her. This has nothing to do with us. Please let Ashui go!" The Snow-Colored Swan Kiss shrank back.
Hearing this, the Fragrant Jade Orchid remained silent, seemingly agreeing with their suggestion.
Seeing this, the Fiery Apricot Blossom, still under Wu Xuan's control, immediately spewed out a burst of dazzling flames, cursing, "You ungrateful, cowardly bastards! I was blind to consider you friends!"
"Shut up." Wu Xuan pressed down on the Fiery Apricot Blossom's cabbage-like form with his left hand, giving it a powerful blow.
Then, with a single pinch, he forcibly opened the Narcissus Jade Bone's flower bud, prying out a piece of ice-blue rhomboid crystal, before throwing it back. The Narcissus Jade Bone's once radiant petals instantly lost their luster, becoming extremely weak.
Before the Narcissus Jade Bone could even display its resentment on its flower, it was horrified to see the human pull out a strange wooden tray, and then the cursing Fiery Apricot Blossom was sucked inside.
This scene completely terrified the several immortal herbs.
"Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Beast, come here. Do you remember what you promised me?" Wu Xuan turned around and used his spiritual power to carefully observe all the plant-type soul beasts within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"I remember, I remember! Whatever you need, sir, I can introduce it to you!" Seeing that Wu Xuan was no longer looking at them, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Beast breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.
Wu Xuan roughly scanned the numerous herbs and found that, apart from Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Beast and the other five 100,000-year-old plant soul beasts, many of the other immortal herbs possessed tens of thousands of years of cultivation, some even approaching 100,000 years.
Take the Autumn Water Dew alone, for example; there was more than one, with the oldest being 80,000 years old.
"Sir, you are of the wind attribute, right? Then there's something here that will definitely suit you!" Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Beast presented a bundle that looked like a weed, as if it were a treasure.
"What is this?" Wu Xuan asked in surprise.
"This plant is called Tumbleweed! It's not actually among the immortal herbs, but its true value lies in the seed it nurtures, the Whirlpool Wind Core. That's an extremely rare treasure. That seed can greatly reduce the difficulty of condensing a soul core for wind-attribute soul masters or soul beasts," explained the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb.
"Reduce the difficulty of constructing a soul core? That's certainly a good thing." Wu Xuan took the bundle of weeds and looked at the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb with some appreciation. Sure enough, these immortal herbs still needed to be properly tested, otherwise, how could they respect him and bring out their best items?
Subsequently, the Extraordinary Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, Star Luo Spirit Pearl, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Wind Moon Orchid, Purple Jade Vermilion Fruit... and so on! All of them were immortal herbs over 80,000 years old. With the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb's introduction, Wu Xuan added them to his collection one by one.
However, under the pleading gaze of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb, Wu Xuan left the roots and seeds of the various immortal herbs behind. Since the other party was so sensible, it would be thousands of years before the next batch of immortal herbs matured, so he let them remain.
As the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb continued its introduction, what surprised Wu Xuan most was that the three immortal herbs—Gentle Breeze Lotus Mist, Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and Primordial Chaos Immortal Herb—had a cultivation of 100,000 years, truly astonishing Wu Xuan.
The Gentle Breeze Lotus Mist was very compatible with the wind element, possessing the effects of avoiding, attracting, and gathering wind. It seemed useless to wind-attribute soul masters, even potentially hindering them. But after hearing the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb's explanation, Wu Xuan suddenly had many novel ideas, so he felt that perhaps the Gentle Breeze Lotus Mist was very suitable for him.
The Earth Dragon Golden Melon possessed the ability of an earth dragon to turn over, making it most suitable for soul masters with earth-attribute martial souls, especially those with earth-attribute dragon-type martial souls.
