Hundred-Year Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum

Li Xuan had now gotten all the seeds distributed this time into his own hands.

This could also be considered one of Li Xuan's foundations.

However, growing medicinal herbs was only a side business, something that would only prove useful in the future. Right now, Li Xuan's most important task was to find a suitable Soul Ring and break through his Soul Power Level.

After all, Li Xuan had possessed Innate Full Soul Power for some time. It was time for a breakthrough.

"After my Martial Soul underwent its second awakening, it mutated. I still haven't properly studied what Soul Ring I should choose. Strength—I still need to improve my strength." Sitting on the bed, Li Xuan began considering his Soul Ring options.

Li Xuan first summoned his Martial Soul. He extended his right hand, palm upward, then slowly poured the Soul Power within his body into the Soul Seal in his palm.

As Soul Power flowed in, the Soul Seal gradually emitted a cyan glow. Faintly, it rose from Li Xuan's palm like cyan flames.

Immediately afterward, a translucent cyan lotus seed slowly rose from the flames.

The lotus seed gradually collided within the flames, then instantly burst apart, condensing into a cyan lotus that radiated a dim glow.

The lotus was entirely dark cyan and gave off a faint cyan radiance. It had nine petals, each soft and delicate.

"What a beautiful lotus. And it possesses both fire and wood attributes at once. That's so Alchemist-like." Li Xuan blinked and spoke to the system.

This was also Li Xuan's first time seeing his Nine Hearts Nine Flames Lotus. After his second Martial Soul awakening, all his attention had gone to the Little Green Bottle. He had not cared at all what his lotus Martial Soul had evolved into.

Only now that Li Xuan wanted to raise his Soul Power Level did he remember his lotus Martial Soul.

If the lotus Martial Soul could come alive, it would probably curse him as a heartless scumbag. When he needed it, it was his little darling; when he did not, it was yesterday's woman.

Still, the Nine Hearts Nine Flames Lotus was of exceptionally high quality, and it possessed both fire and wood attributes. Li Xuan thought that he should focus on the fire attribute in the future, but he could not completely waste his talent for the wood attribute either.

Although Li Xuan was currently in the Flower Sea, where hunting Soul Beasts was basically impossible, he could use the Little Green Bottle to cultivate a four-hundred-year-old plant Soul Beast as his Soul Ring.

And a spirit plant with a fire attribute was Li Xuan's best choice.

"First, an Immortal-Grade one." Li Xuan muttered, taking out the sole Immortal Grade Spirit Plant seed from his clothes.

Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum!

As a fire-attributed Immortal Grade Spirit Plant, if it could produce a Soul Ring, it would be the most suitable Soul Ring for him.

Of course, this was not Li Xuan's only plan. Apart from the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum, he had two more Heavenly Treasures with fire attributes and ten rare-quality plants. All of them were backup options.

Li Xuan recalled the plot from the original novel. Immortal Grade Spirit Plants could not transform into Soul Rings!

So he was worried that if he really killed an Immortal Grade Spirit Plant and it did not produce a Soul Ring, he would suffer a devastating loss!

Thinking of this, Li Xuan began to hesitate.

Li Xuan was debating whether to gamble on the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum being able to produce a Soul Ring.

If the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum could really produce a Soul Ring, Li Xuan would gain an extremely powerful first Soul Ring!

Risk and reward...

"Immortal-Grade plants may be rare, but they haven't gone extinct. I should be able to obtain more Immortal Grade Spirit Plants in the future. The Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum... is worth one gamble!" After hesitating for a while, Li Xuan finally made up his mind!

He immediately got to work!

Li Xuan went to the courtyard, found a flowerpot in the corner, filled it with soil, watered it, and carried it back into the room.

Li Xuan buried the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum seed in the soil, then summoned the Little Green Bottle and carefully dripped the Green Spirit Liquid from within onto the seed.

The Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum buried in the soil rapidly absorbed the Green Spirit Liquid.

After a brief pause, an intense golden-red light suddenly exploded from the flowerpot.

The powerful flash made Li Xuan instinctively raise a hand to shield his eyes.

The light vanished in an instant. Then, two pure golden sprouts emerged from the soil and rapidly began to grow.

A young chrysanthemum plant, entirely golden and thirty centimeters tall, appeared in the flowerpot. Its branches and leaves were upright and resilient, noble and elegant, breathtakingly beautiful.

It truly deserved to be called an Immortal Grade Spirit Plant!

Next, the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum began growing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had reached around thirty centimeters in height. It had more than ten golden leaves and emitted golden light.

Another Soul Power vortex formed around it, and this one was enormous. Li Xuan's thatched hut swayed violently in the wind, as though it could collapse at any moment.

The Soul Power vortex lasted for more than ten minutes before finally stopping.

A layer of golden-red flames had also appeared over the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum's surface, making it seem even more noble.

Li Xuan stared fixedly at the layer of golden-red flames, and his gaze gradually became unfocused.

The next second, Li Xuan felt comfort spread throughout his body, as if he were soaking in a hot spring. It felt so wonderful that he wanted to moan aloud.

Li Xuan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm!

The Soul Seal of the Nine Hearts Nine Flames Lotus had suddenly released cyan flames, scorching Li Xuan's palm.

When he came back to his senses, Li Xuan suddenly realized that a great deal of time had already passed.

"This Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame can actually bewitch people's hearts. It seems these flames have an enormous effect on the soul. Fortunately, the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum only has a hundred years of cultivation. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to wake so easily from the Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame's control." Li Xuan spoke with lingering fear.

But now that Li Xuan had fallen for it once, the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum would not be able to affect him next time.

After resting for a while, Li Xuan checked the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum's attributes.

[Plant: Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum]

[Quality: Immortal-Grade]

[Cultivation: 100 years]

[Description: One of the top Immortal Grade Spirit Plants. Its innate talent is the Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame. It can burn souls and scorch the mind. It cannot be used as medicine or consumed. It must grow near a volcano and absorb the power of flames.]

"With a hundred years of cultivation, the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum will reach four hundred years in three days. Then I can use it to absorb my first Soul Ring." Li Xuan nodded and placed the flowerpot containing the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum beneath the corner of the wall by the window opposite him.

After settling the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum, Li Xuan relaxed and opened the System Mall.

[System Mall]

[One meat, two vegetable boxed meal *1... 1 point]

[Wahehe mineral water *1... 1 point]

[Three-Eyed Golden Lion External Soul Bone *1... 100000 points]

[Barrier-Breaking Pill (Special Price)... 1000 points (Original Price: 2000000 points)]

"Damn! System, you're getting a little full of yourself. I can't afford a single thing here." Li Xuan muttered irritably.

He only had ten points of fortune left. After buying water and a boxed meal, he would not be able to buy anything else.

With a helpless sigh, Li Xuan bought the boxed meal and water, then ate beneath the moonlight.

To be honest, Li Xuan really was hungry. He quickly finished the large boxed meal.

After settling accounts with the system again, he still received ten points from today's settlement.

Not long after lying down on the bed, Li Xuan drifted off to sleep.

The weekend is almost here, dear readers. Please recommend and comment.
