I'll Trade You a Carrot for It

Ma Feifei chose to go to the Guanghan Palace because of a plot in "The Lotus Lantern" where Erlang Shen secretly loves Chang'e and accidentally breaks Jade Tree next to the Guanghan Palace while eavesdropping on a conversation between the Third Holy Mother and Chang'e. Chang'e then uses this incident to blackmail Erlang Shen into helping Chenxiang, and Erlang Shen, fearing Punishment from the Jade Emperor, has no choice but to comply.

The so-called Jade Tree is actually the Osmanthus Tree. According to Huaxia mythology, after Pangu Creation of Heaven and Earth, his hair became grasslands and forests, and his eyelashes became the Osmanthus Tree Guanghan Palace.

As the eyelash of the ancient god Pangu, the value of the Osmanthus Tree is self-evident. If you could get a few branches and leaves from the Osmanthus Tree, Jidu accumulate 500 points.

Moreover, the Osmanthus Tree is not a magical artifact and has no use to those immortals. Exchanging for it wouldn't cost much; just a little effort and you might get it for a Spirit Crystal.

As Ma Feifei happily pondered this, he led Azi to the Guanghan Palace.

"Wow! What a beautiful palace!" Azi exclaimed, gazing at the Guanghan Palace before her.

This time, Ma Feifei didn't refute it. Standing outside the Guanghan Palace, she watched this scene with a hint of excitement.

A light mist hung in the air, drifting and ethereal, a blanket of white, the majestic palace stretching as far as the eye could see.

A small bridge, built of jade, spans a clear, transparent stream, its surface shimmering with blue and white light. Standing before the gate, a plaque hangs above the pale blue door, inscribed with the words "Guanghan Palace," the calligraphy both delicate and sharp, radiating a soft blue glow.

This was the Guanghan Palace, passed down orally from Ma Feifei's generation, one of the beautiful ancient myths. Ma Feifei's heart was stirred, and he could not calm down for a long time.

Outside the Guanghan Palace, exotic flowers and rare herbs can be seen everywhere. Unlike the colorful flowers of the human world, their pure whiteness and flawless appearance can instill a sense of coldness and awe in people.

The pavilion is simple and elegant, with a jade platform and crystal pavilion. Jade Rabbit holds a pestle and grinds medicine. Beneath the pavilion, the cassia branches are beautiful and reflect the light.

Osmanthus Tree!

"Who are you?" Suddenly, the jade Jade Rabbit holding a pestle inside the pavilion noticed their presence, stepped out, and looked at the two with a puzzled expression.

Before Ma Feifei could even speak, Azi Me First, "This fairy sister, you're so beautiful!"

His tone was sincere and envious.

The Jade Rabbit had never heard anyone praise her so directly before. A slight ripple stirred within her. Looking at Azi and Ma Feifei, she asked in a kind tone, "You are guests invited to the Heavenly Court by the Jade Emperor, aren't you?"

Ma Feifei couldn't help but roll her eyes. Just a moment ago she was asking who they were, and now she immediately knows their identities after a compliment? What a drama queen.

The reason the Jade Rabbit knew Ma Feifei and the others' identities was probably because of the system. Although this was the Lotus Lantern World, it was still a book, and living under the system's rules, it was extremely easy for the system to let them know the identities of Ma Feifei and the others.

"That's right! Fairy sister, you're so smart!" Azi became a die-hard fan, praising the Jade Rabbit non-stop until the Jade Rabbit's fair face turned red.

Ma Feifei watched Azi silently from the side, and couldn't help but give Azi a thumbs up in his heart.

This girl is trying to sweet-talk them, constantly stuffing sugar into their mouths to make the Jade Rabbit's favor towards them rise, so that they can get some unexpected surprises when they exchange items later.

After a minute of flattery, Azi revealed their purpose: they hoped to have a barter transaction with the Jade Rabbit.

The Jade Rabbit was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, you can show me anything you have. If I like something, I'll trade it with you."

"Yay!" Seeing that the Jade Rabbit had agreed, Azi immediately grabbed Ma Feifei's sleeve and jumped up, urging, "Shopkeeper, hurry up, get the treasure!"

Ma Feifei was taken aback and asked, "What treasure?"

"Isn't this bartering for something? Don't you want to exchange it, owner?" Azi asked doubtfully.

Ma Feifei nodded and said, "I'll switch, but I won't switch with her. If you want to switch, hurry up and switch."

"If I don't trade with her, who else can I trade with? I haven't seen anyone else in this Guanghan Palace!" Azi glanced at the vast Guanghan Palace, which was quiet and deserted, with no one in sight except for the Jade Rabbit.

"You don't need to worry about this, hurry up and change it," Ma Feifei said, waving her hand.

Ma Feifei wants to exchange the Osmanthus Tree, but the owner of the Guanghan Palace is not the Jade Rabbit, but Chang'e. According to the jurisdiction, only Chang'e can exchange the Osmanthus Tree with Ma Feifei. The Jade Rabbit is just a rabbit beside Chang'e and certainly does not have this right.

Azi didn't know who the owner of the Guanghan Palace was, but since the shopkeeper wouldn't change it, she had no choice but to change it herself. Tilting her head and thinking for a moment, Azi took out a seventh-tier rainbow dress from her spatial bag. This was a dress given to her by her Second Mother, and it had now become her favorite dress. Azi had really gone all out to get points.

"Fairy sister, can we swap clothes?" Azi asked expectantly.

The Jade Rabbit glanced at the rainbow-colored clothes, frowned, and said, "The colors are too bright; I don't really like them."

Everything in the Guanghan Palace is simple and elegant, even the exotic flowers and plants are all the same color. The Jade Rabbit lives here all year round, so naturally it wouldn't like such bright colors.

"I see..." Azi bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then took out a pure white jade hairpin from her spatial bag, saying, "What about this one? This will definitely look beautiful on the fairy sister."

When Ma Feifei saw the jade hairpin in Azi's hand, he raised an eyebrow slightly. It was actually an eighth-grade spiritual artifact! It seemed that Azi had gone all out.

The rewards haven't been announced yet, so nobody knows how much they can redeem with the final points. If the effort put in doesn't match the reward, then we'll really be losing out big time.

Unlike the rainbow dress she had shown earlier, the Jade Rabbit didn't express dislike for the jade hairpin, nor did she seem delighted. She simply nodded slightly and said, "This is fine. How about I trade you a carrot for it?"

"Huh?" Azi was a little confused.

An eighth-tier spiritual weapon, traded for a carrot?

"Pfft!" Ma Feifei, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What? You don't want to?" the Jade Rabbit asked curiously.

Azi bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then turned and tugged at Ma Feifei's sleeve, looking pitiful.

Clearly, this is to get advice from Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei, suppressing a laugh, said, "It's alright, I feel like we didn't lose out this time."

Upon hearing this, Azi became even more anxious.

Ma Feifei had no choice but to suppress her smile and Analytic seriously, "It should be possible to exchange them. Carrots are a favorite food of this fairy sister, so their value shouldn't be low. If you're worried about losing out, give me this jade hairpin, and I'll exchange it. I'll return an eighth-grade jade hairpin to you later."

This mission does not restrict the scope of item exchange, so what is of high value may not necessarily be a magical treasure in the hands of immortals, but may be something they consider valuable.

It varies from person to person; this is Ma Feifei's understanding.

Just like the local earth god in the Peach Garden, his most valuable possession should be the Peach of Immortality; for example, Taishang Laojun in the Tushita Palace, his most valuable possession should be elixirs; and the Jade Rabbit in the Guanghan Palace, her most valuable possession is naturally the carrot.
