The Kongming Flower and the Spirit-Treasure Golden Cicada

After finishing his own business, Wu Tong informed the group and then left the Dimensional Chat Group. After all, he hadn't forgotten that he had more important things to do today.

"Young Master, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

Just as Wu Tong exited the Dimensional Chat Group, he heard the voice of his maid, Xiao Yun.

After hearing Xiao Yun's words clearly, Wu Tong's eyes lit up, and he looked somewhat impatient.

The Spirit Beast I wanted has finally arrived.

Thinking of this, Wu Tong immediately flipped off the recliner and looked at Xiao Yun beside him, "Where is Brother Xue now?"

Xiao Yun was startled by Wu Tong's actions, but quickly recovered and replied, "Young Master, His Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you at the Training Ground."

Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Wu Tong didn't hesitate and walked straight towards the Training Ground on the right side of the front yard.

Before long, Wu Tong arrived at his Training Ground.

Seeing the two doors slightly ajar, Wu Tong was not surprised and simply pushed them open and went inside.

As soon as I entered, I saw the back of a blond young man wandering around his fitness equipment.

He even made clicking sounds of praise.

Wu Tong watched Xue Qinghe's retreating figure and the way he wandered around the fitness equipment.

His thoughts began to wander, and in a daze, Xue Qinghe's back view transformed into his original form.

Hiss~

Wu Tong quickly shook his head, trying to shake the images out of his mind.

Coming to his senses, Wu Tong saw that Xue Qinghe hadn't noticed his arrival, so he stepped forward and called out, "Brother Xue."

"Brother Wu Tong, you've arrived."

Upon hearing the address "Brother Xue," Xue Qinghe knew it was Wu Tong. He turned around and, sure enough, it was just as he had guessed.

"Brother Xue, could you please use a different form of address? I feel really awkward every time I hear this."

Wu Tong's face darkened. Every time he heard this title, he felt awkward. He had no choice before, but now that he had the confidence, he naturally had to say it.

"Alright." Hearing Wu Tong's words, Xue Qinghe did not refuse.

As for why Xue Qinghe addressed Wu Tong as "Brother Wu Tong," there is, of course, a reason for it.

Three years ago, Wu Tong angered him because of something, so Xue Qinghe used this method to try to annoy Wu Tong.

At that time, Wu Tong's influence and strength determined that he had no right to resist, so he could only accept this title.

After that, Xue Qinghe continued to call Wu Tong by that name, and over the years it seemed to have become a habit.

After Wu Tong became God Trial Candidate, Xue Qinghe remembered this incident and planned to find an opportunity to change the way he was addressed.

However, since there hadn't been a suitable opportunity, Wu Tong's suggestion provided a perfect chance to change the way they addressed each other.

"Phew, that's good."

Hearing that Xue Qinghe agreed to his suggestion, Wu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Wu Tong breathe a sigh of relief, a smile flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes, which then disappeared.

"Brother Xue, what do you think of my Training Ground?"

Seeing that Xue Qinghe was standing next to the exercise equipment without moving, Wu Tong realized that he wanted her to introduce it and asked with some amusement.

"Tongdi's Wisdom is indeed extraordinary. If I'm not mistaken, these exercise tools all have their own functions. When combined, they can probably exercise various parts of the body."

Xue Qinghe's status was naturally extraordinary. Having held a high position for a long time, his vision had also improved. He could easily judge the effects of these devices on the exercise of various parts of the body just from their appearance.

This also gave Xue Qinghe a deeper understanding of Wu Tong's Wisdom.

Brother Tong?

This...

Well, at least he's better than Wu Tong.

Wu Tong stiffened for a moment upon hearing Xue Qinghe's address, but then relaxed.

After listening, Wu Tong gave him a look that said, "You have great taste."

He began by saying, "Brother Xue is right. These fitness equipment all have their own uses and can exercise every part of the body."

This barbell is for working out your upper body; this horizontal bar is for strengthening your forearms; this treadmill is for working out your leg muscles..."

As Wu Tong introduced the story, Xue Qinghe nodded from time to time, listening attentively to Wu Tong's explanation.

For a moment, the two of them together felt a beautiful harmony.

After the explanation, Wu Tong finally remembered the purpose of his visit.

Seeing that Xue Qinghe didn't seem inclined to speak, he had no choice but to speak first, "Brother Xue, the Spirit Beast you prepared..."

Upon hearing Wu Tong's words, Xue Qinghe realized that he had been so excited by the sight of the fitness equipment that he had forgotten the main purpose of his visit.

He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was so distracted by this exercise equipment that I completely forgot why I came here."

"Tongdi, I naturally carry the two Spirit Beast you requested with me."

After speaking, Xue Qinghe waved his hand, and the Storage Soul Tool in his hand flashed, and two Spirit Beast appeared on the vast field.

Wu Tong looked closely and saw a flower and a cicada lying half-dead on the ground.

The flower is pure black; everything—petals, stamens, sepals, stems, roots, and even the sap flowing from wounds—is black.

But the black was strange, because upon closer inspection, Wu Tong seemed to be able to see other colors in that black, a variety of colors, clearly distinct.

There's no mistake, this is the Void Bloom, exactly as described in ancient books, its entire body displaying a multicolored black.

Such distinctive features left a deep impression on Wu Tong at the time.

"A multicolored black, that's right... five marks inside the petals. Void Bloom that's fifty thousand years old."

After confirming that the flower was indeed the Void Bloom, Wu Tong's gaze then shifted to the cicada beside it.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear how pitiful this cicada was.

The sharp mouthparts were severed at the root, disrupting the path of attack.

The broken horn on the head was fresh, and pale golden blood was gushing out from the wound.

The cicada's wings, shimmering with seven colors and as exquisite as a work of art, were now covered with several sword marks, ruining its beauty and rendering it unable to fly.

Its lower body limbs were all severed, making it unable to stand.

Nine penetrating wounds remained on his body, gruesome and terrifying.

Even so, the cicada did not die, relying on its own vitality to live tenaciously.

Wu Tong saw the cicada's injuries but remained unmoved. After all, it was just a Spirit Beast and couldn't evoke any empathy from him.

Wu Tong ignored the cicada's injuries and instead carefully identified its identity.

"It has six pupils, and its whole body is golden... Its wings are seven-colored, thin and transparent, and it moves at the fastest speed in the world... It has a horn on its head, which is as warm and smooth as jade... Its tail is six feet long and it has lived for 60,000 years."

After careful examination, Wu Tong confirmed that the cicada was indeed the Spirit Treasure Cicada he needed, and it was even Spirit Treasure Cicada that was 60,000 years old.

"Haha, not bad, it really is the Void Bloom and the Spirit Treasure Cicada. Thank you, Brother Xue, for helping me find these two Spirit Beasts."

After everything was confirmed, Wu Tong could no longer contain his joy and thanked Xue Qinghe.

"There's no need for that. After all, I'm only doing this for your reward, Tongdi."

Seeing Wu Tong's ecstatic expression, Xue Qinghe replied humbly.
