Chapter 219 Wholesale of Immortal Herbs.
Liehuo Xingjiaoshu may seem assertive, but she is also able to discern the situation clearly.
She was no match for the other party now, so naturally she wouldn't force herself to fight against Xue Di.
She quickly said, "I won't do it again! I won't do it again!"
Youyou, standing to the side, was also somewhat dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that these people who came would have such strength. Even if they had advanced to the level of 100,000 years, they would still be no match for them.
The eight-cornered ice grass by the ice spring remained silent, knowing that it was no match for the Snow Emperor after witnessing her attack.
For a moment, the three 100,000-year-old immortal herbs beside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire fell silent.
Faced with such a formidable foe, if the opponent were to forcibly pluck the immortal herb, they would have no way to resist.
Xue Di did not continue to make a move, but looked at Kong Xuan behind her, clearly handing over the right to speak to him.
Before Kong Xuan could even speak, Youyou hurriedly said, "There are specific methods for picking and consuming these immortal herbs. If you don't use the right method, even if you steal them, they won't be effective."
Kong Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and swallowed the words he was about to say, because he knew that Youyou was right.
Although Kong Xuan was familiar with the plot of the original work, he could not possibly remember some details so clearly, such as the methods of consuming and preserving these immortal herbs.
Kong Xuan squinted at Youyou and said, "Are you trying to threaten me by saying all this?"
"It's not exactly a threat!"
The voice trembled slightly as it said, "You are too powerful; we are no match for you."
"However, if you want to forcibly take the immortal herbs, even if you take them all from us, they will just be a pile of useless herbs without any way to consume them."
Kong Xuan never expected that Youyou, who had previously seemed to have a gentle personality, would say such things. No wonder Tang San entrusted the Xuan Tian Bao Lu to her for safekeeping.
However, her saying this clearly indicates that there's more to discuss.
Kong Xuan chuckled: "I know that the medicine section of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu is on you. Once I get it, I'll know how to consume these immortal herbs."
The enormous, pale pink petals trembled slightly; no one had expected that Kong Xuan would even know about this.
"You...you...what exactly do you want?!"
Youyou's tone was far from calm; at this moment, she even had the idea of destroying the Xuan Tian Treasure Record.
"Oh!"
Kong Xuan chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, I won't take all the immortal herbs here, I'll only take a portion."
This wasn't because Kong Xuan was kind-hearted, but because there weren't many people worthy of his help in plotting to obtain immortal herbs, so naturally there was no need to seize all of them.
Moreover, once the soul system matures, he still hopes that these three 100,000-year-old immortal herbs will become the souls of his sister and Meng Hongchen.
Hearing Kong Xuan's words, Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously probed, "If that person's successor comes and can take away seven immortal herbs after passing the test, how about we give you seven as well?"
"Not very good!"
Kong Xuan refused without hesitation. Even though his needs were limited, seven plants were still not enough.
He looked at the large pink flower in front of him and said, "Don't try to bargain with me, or I'll steal the Xuan Tian Treasure Record and take you all with me!"
Kong Xuan's threat made Youyou's flower-like body tremble slightly, and then she asked softly, "Then what kind of immortal herb do you need?"
Before coming, Kong Xuan had already thought of some things, and now he spoke directly: "Qiluo Tulip, Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone, Longing for Autumn Water Dew, Extraordinary Treasure Sky Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petal Fairy Orchid, Starry Spirit Pearl, Primordial Immortal Herb, Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, Earth Dragon Golden Melon."
"Hmm...that's all for now."
These are all immortal herbs from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire in Kong Xuan's memory. Since they were selected in the original work, they must be extraordinary.
Every time Kong Xuan read out a name, Youyou's mood grew heavier.
Because the immortal herbs that Kong Xuan mentioned are indeed all around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and these are the most precious immortal herbs!
Youyou wanted to refuse, but thinking of Xue Di's terrifying palm strike and Kong Xuan's serious tone, she really didn't dare.
"Could you please not use so much?"
Her tone was somewhat aggrieved, and even carried a hint of pleading.
"I told you, don't try to bargain with me!" Kong Xuan's heart was as hard as iron, but then his tone softened a bit as he said, "We can let these immortal herbs leave seeds, and with this precious land, they will soon be able to grow again."
Having said all that, Youyou knew there was no going back, and this was perhaps the best outcome.
"Why!"
She sighed, and the petals fluttered. Not far away, a large, golden chrysanthemum detached from the soil and floated in front of her.
"This is an 8,000-year-old rare chrysanthemum. It must not come into contact with any metal, otherwise its medicinal effects will be completely lost. When consuming it, you can simply eat the petals one by one."
These immortal herbs are different from other plant-type soul beasts; even after 100,000 years, only a few can develop sentience.
Take this 8,000-year-old Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum for example; it simply doesn't possess the imposing presence that an 8,000-year-old soul beast should have.
Kong Xuan was prepared for this. With a wave of his hand, a huge jade box appeared in front of him.
After putting the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum into the jade box, Kong Xuan continued to look at Youyou in front of him.
Just like before, the delicate petals trembled slightly, and with a flash of light, a fairy herb floated to her side again from afar.
This herb looks unremarkable, all green, with three snow-white leaves in the center, and a few drops of water in the center of the leaves.
The soft voice rang out again: "The Dewdrops, which are like autumn water, need to be frozen after leaving the soil. Only a few drops of dew in the middle of the herb are edible."
...
Next, the faint voice seemed to gradually lose its strength, and delivered the immortal herbs that Kong Xuan had mentioned to him one by one.
"Alright, now that you've received the immortal herbs you wanted, you can leave."
Her soft voice carried a hint of pleading; she was genuinely hoping that Kong Xuan and the others would leave soon.
"What's the rush!"
Kong Xuan spoke slowly and deliberately, then turned his gaze to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye and the other two auras that were ten thousand years old.
Upon seeing Kong Xuan's gaze, both the fiery apricot and the eight-cornered ice grass trembled, a sense of foreboding welling up in their hearts.
Kong Xuan didn't waste any words and said directly, "I also need blazing glue and octagonal mystic ice crystals!"
"impossible!"
Two voices rang out simultaneously, one from Fiery Apricot and the other from Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.
Both the scorching glue and the octagonal ice crystal are treasures that they spent a lot of time condensing. If they lose them, the cultivation of these two immortal herbs will also be damaged.
Since it concerned their own spiritual cultivation, the two of them naturally wouldn't compromise easily.
Kong Xuan's voice immediately turned cold: "I'm not discussing this with you, nor do I need your consent."
"If you don't hand over the blazing glue and the octagonal ice crystal, then I'll take matters into my own hands!"
As soon as Kong Xuan finished speaking, Xue Di's aura surged again, making her look like she might make a move at any moment.
"Don't do it! Don't do it!"
A soft voice then came out and comforted, "Ajiao, Bingbing, don't be impulsive. You can quickly condense those origins if you lose them here."
Upon hearing this, Liehuo Xingjiao fell into deep thought. She had already compromised before, so compromising again wouldn't hurt.
However, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass on the other side was much more assertive. Her icy voice rang out: "Unless I die, you will never get the Eight-Cornered Ice Crystal!"
