Chapter 271 The King of Immortal Herbs, the Beautiful Tulip

Chapter 271 The King of Immortal Herbs, the Beautiful Tulip

According to records passed down in the Tang Clan, the Qiluo Tulip, the king of immortal herbs, possesses the ability to distinguish all spiritual objects in heaven and earth and can command them.

Ye Nanxiao glanced at the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Herb. The two immortal herbs were bowing their flowers towards the direction of the Qiluo Tulip.

I hadn't seen this King of Immortal Herbs when I came here last time. I thought that the talkative flower, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb, was the one that managed the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

"Young human friend, there's no need to be nervous. I just want to ask you something. Last time you came, I was in a deep sleep, so I missed our meeting."

The tulip swayed slightly at the top of its petals.

A tiny, golden fruit flew out from the golden flower and landed in front of Ye Nanxiao.

"I have heard about what happened before from Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin. Since you are the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan, please accept this small token of my appreciation, descendant of the Tang Clan."

Ye Nanxiao looked at the tiny fruit floating in front of him and swallowed.

This is a fruit from the Kira tulip. Even a small fruit still carries the fragrance of the Kira tulip.

Shifting his gaze from the fruit, Ye Nanxiao looked at the Qiluo Tulip and asked, "Senior, I cannot accept a reward without merit. Please take this fruit back."

Although he held the title of Vice Sect Master of the Tang Clan, Ye Nanxiao believed that he had not made any significant contributions to the Tang Clan. Judging from his current achievements, he had only lent a helping hand to the Tang Clan because Bei Bei and Tang Ya were his friends. In terms of actual benefits, he had simply followed the trend and each of them had their own advantage.

Qiluo Tulip was surprised that Ye Nanxiao would refuse for this reason. She remembered that she was a priceless treasure in the eyes of the Tang Clan. How come this human in front of her had no interest in the gift she gave him?

If the Fragrant Fairy could conjure a face, then its expression towards Ye Nanxiao would definitely be rolling its eyes.

The last time this fox came here, it brought a sack, looking like it was going to plunder the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

In fact, the reason Ye Nanxiao refused the small fruit given by Qiluo Tulip was simply because Qiluo Tulip gave it to him because of the name of the Tang Sect.

The Snow Empress, who was sitting cross-legged above the Frozen Spring, slightly opened her eyes and glanced at Ye Nanxiao. Ye Nanxiao's calm and composed expression could fool Qi Luo Tulip and other immortal herbs, but it could not fool the Snow Empress.

Ye Nanxiao appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was already crying inside.

"That's the fruit of the King of Immortal Herbs! It's imbued with the essence of the Qiluo Tulip! If I could get my hands on it, I'd be much safer going to Xingdou next time! Ahhh, this is a treasure of the disguise world!"

In Ye Nanxiao's mind, there was a little fox-headed figure biting a handkerchief and shouting.

"No reward without merit? You little guy have quite a good personality, much better than your ancestors," Qiluo Tulip laughed.

"Since that's the case, I have a favor to ask of you. The reward is this fruit of mine. Are you willing?"

Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin and thought for two seconds before asking, "I wonder what Senior would like me to do? If it is within my power, I will do my best."

Although the reward is tempting, Ye Nanxiao is unwilling to spend too much time on tasks that are too difficult, especially if they are given by Qiluo Tulip.

"Then please take good care of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, okay?" said Qiluo Tulip.

Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao shook his head and said solemnly, "Senior, my relationship with Bajiao is symbiotic. Bajiao chose me and temporarily handed over its power to me. I am very grateful for Bajiao's choice. From the moment I became a soul spirit, Bajiao has been my family. No matter what, we will always advance and retreat together."

As soon as Ye Nanxiao finished speaking, the octagon emerged from between Ye Nanxiao's eyebrows, landed on the ground, and bowed to Ye Nanxiao.

Ye Nanxiao also bowed in greeting.

The mutual greeting between the fox and the immortal herb plunged the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye into silence for a moment.

"This human isn't as greedy as other humans!"

"This human is special! I've never seen a human treat a magical herb like family!"

"It seems like Bajiao has found a good home!"

The other immortal herbs, who had originally been just watching the show, started talking amongst themselves, all surprised by Ye Nanxiao's actions.

The Snow Emperor's lips curled up slightly as she compressed and gathered the cold air in her palm, transforming it into a small pill shaped like a medicinal elixir. She then pounced on Ye Nanxiao and hung on his back.

He felt a soft embrace behind him, and Ye Nanxiao quickly reached out a hand to support Xue Di, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Xue'er, there are so many immortal herbs to look at right now."

"Hmph~ I don't care, I want you to carry me!" Xue Di reached out and hooked her arm around Ye Nanxiao's neck, bringing the small pill to Ye Nanxiao's lips. "Ah, Xiao'er, open your mouth."

As soon as Ye Nanxiao opened his mouth, Xue Di put the small pill in his hand into Ye Nanxiao's mouth.

The small pill melted instantly in his mouth, turning into a cool sensation that spread throughout Ye Nanxiao's body.

Ye Nanxiao absorbed all the cold energy that Xue Di had just extracted from the Frozen Spring.

"I'm very happy with your answer. Thank you, little one." The Qiluo Tulip swayed its flowers toward Ye Nanxiao.

"So, if possible, could you help the other immortal herbs that are willing to be like the eight-starch stalk to find a good owner? In your current form and the eight-starch stalk's form," the Kira Tulip made a genuine request.

What are my current forms and those of the Eight Trigrams?

Ye Nanxiao instantly understood that the Qiluo Tulip refers to the form of a soul spirit. In Huo Yuhao's later studies, Electrolux would teach him the incantation for soul spirits, so that Huo Yuhao could establish a sect like the Spirit Pagoda in the future.

After thinking it over for a moment, Ye Nanxiao nodded. "I accept this task from you, senior!"

With a wave of his hand, he collected the tiny fruits of the Qiluo tulip into his palm.

The moment the tiny fruit landed in Ye Nanxiao's hand, it lost its golden light and lay in his palm like an ordinary fruit.

He took out a jade box and carefully placed the tiny fruit inside.

"Hehehe, little one, don't be nervous. My fruit isn't that delicate; any bamboo box will do," said Tulip of Qiluo with a smile.

As the king of immortal herbs, the Qiluo Tulip has no strict requirements for the environment. It can take root and grow even in ordinary wild areas. However, it needs a lot of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to sprout and bloom.

"Thank you, senior!" Ye Nanxiao bowed deeply to Qiluo Tulip.

"With the fruit of the Qiluo Tulip and the Frozen Flower, if I get recognized by Biji again next time I go to Xingdou, I'll do a handstand while washing my hair!" Ye Nanxiao was overjoyed and made a bold statement without any concern.

"It seems one of the Ten Thousand Demon Kings is a plant-transformed being among the Ten Thousand Demon Beasts? Wouldn't the fruit of the Qiluo Tulip weaken its fighting power? What a treasure!"

Huo Yuhao, who possessed multiple cheat codes, suddenly became adorable in Ye Nanxiao's mind.

Sure enough, I'm a hidden lucky charm!

I'm a nine-tailed fox! How could I possibly be the unlucky one that Beibei talks about!

With great joy, Ye Nanxiao accepted the tiny fruit given to him by Qiluo Tulip, then turned to examine the Fiery Apricot, which resembled a large cabbage.

She walked up to Liehuo Xingjiaoshu, turned left and looked right.

The fiery apricot blossoms unfurled their petals, releasing a wave of intense heat that distorted even the surrounding space.

The shockwave made Ye Nanxiao feel a wave of heat. Since obtaining the ultimate ice, Ye Nanxiao had only ever felt heat on Ma Xiaotao.

The Fiery Apricot Blossom itself carries intense fire poison, and with its cultivation spanning 100,000 years, the air currents it emits naturally carry a trace of fire poison.

"Big Red Flower, do you also want to be like Star Anise?" Ye Nanxiao placed his hands on ice crystals and gently tapped the delicate petals of the Fiery Apricot.

The fiery apricot blossoms swayed and nodded, saying, "I also want to leave this place. Also, my name isn't Big Red Flower; you can call me Ah Jiao!"

Ye Nanxiao stroked the delicate fingers that had just tapped the fiery apricot. The ice crystals on them showed signs of melting, and the texture was... well, much softer than a regular cabbage.

"I have a wife who can form a soul contract with you. She is a martial soul of the Evil Fire Phoenix, and also has the attribute of extreme fire. Her cultivation is much higher than mine. Are you willing?" Ye Nanxiao asked.

The Fiery Apricot Blossom is a supreme immortal herb of the fire element, and I already have a wife, so I can't let this precious immortal herb slip away.

The delicate petals of the fiery apricot blossom lay overlapping, its stamen swaying slightly, as if pondering Ye Nanxiao's words. After a moment, it asked, "Am I better than you?"

Ye Nanxiao clearly hadn't expected Lie Huoxing to ask this question. He stroked his chin and thought about it carefully. It seemed that he couldn't even beat Ma Xiaotao when climbing the mountain. Then he nodded.

Seeing Ye Nanxiao nod, Liehuo Xingjiao immediately said, "I agree! I want to become the soul of the wife you mentioned! That way, I'll have Bajiao outdone!"

Ice and fire are incompatible, as are the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass; these two immortal herbs are mortal enemies.

Bajiao clicked his tongue in displeasure.

Ye Nanxiao didn't care about Liehuo Xingjiao's thoughts at all. In time, this flower would understand that you should never do business with a fox, especially when it comes to business involving freedom.

The Fragrant Fairy didn't have that idea. It thought that staying here and daydreaming all day would increase its cultivation level. What a wonderful thing!

As Ye Nanxiao turned his head to look around at the other immortal herbs and sized up the next victim—no, the next business partner—a clear bell rang out!

The azure bell above Lan Yuning's head emitted a soft halo and made a crisp sound.

Lan Yuning also opened her eyes, her eyes filled with surprise.

The Azure Bell emitted rings of light, which landed on Lan Yuning and visibly expanded.

Lu Zi shamelessly begs for a recommendation vote!
