Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Seeds!
Li Xuan's eyes went wide, his mind completely blank. He did not even know what to say.
First, Chrysanthemum Douluo had arrived early and caught him off guard. Then, he acted as though he had no interest in Li Xuan's abilities and immediately began treating him well.
It was all too sudden. Li Xuan could hardly bear it.
However, Li Xuan bit the tip of his tongue and swiftly calmed himself. This was not the time to be confused.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, for your immense kindness! I am willing to brave fire and water for you!" Li Xuan dropped to his knees without hesitation.
He had no better option now. He could only respond to every change by remaining unchanged.
And wait for Chrysanthemum Douluo's next words.
Moreover, he had knelt too hard, smashing his knees against the ground. The pain was so intense that tears had already filled his eyes, though not a single tear had been there before.
"Good child, get up. From now on, I have already avenged you and your parents." Chrysanthemum Douluo slowly walked over, helped Li Xuan up from the ground, and revealed a pained expression when he saw his tear-streaked face.
Only then did Li Xuan clearly see Chrysanthemum Douluo's face.
It was the face of a middle-aged man, frighteningly pale. He even seemed to have applied powder, making him look bizarre and unsettling.
Seeing that the mood had been properly set, Chrysanthemum Douluo took something from his robes and slowly opened his palm before Li Xuan.
"This..." Li Xuan's eyes abruptly widened when he saw what was in Chrysanthemum Douluo's hand.
In Chrysanthemum Douluo's palm was a golden bead.
It was as large as the tip of a thumb, pale yellow throughout, crystal-clear as though carved from yellow crystal. It also emitted a faint yellow glow.
Li Xuan instinctively used his Appraisal of Herbs.
The next moment, a light screen appeared above the bead.
[Plant: Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum] [Quality: Immortal-Grade] [Cultivation: 0 years] [Description: One of the finest Immortal Grade Spirit Plants. Its nature is like the sun, radiant and brilliant. Its medicinal properties are warm, its flavor sweet, and it enters the liver and kidney meridians. Consuming it sends qi through the limbs and blood through the eight channels, allowing one to cultivate an indestructible body. It may be consumed after ten thousand years.]
Li Xuan's eyes widened as he stared at the light screen. This was actually a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum seed!
"You recognized it?" Chrysanthemum Douluo raised his head, saw Li Xuan's expression, and gave him a deep look.
"If I am not mistaken, this should be..."
"A Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!"
Li Xuan also raised his head. He looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo cautiously yet spoke with complete certainty.
Li Xuan's life was now in Chrysanthemum Douluo's hands. Only by proving that he was useful enough could he ensure that Chrysanthemum Douluo would not turn him into flower fertilizer.
"Ha... Ha!" Chrysanthemum Douluo laughed heartily after hearing Li Xuan's words, as though he had heard something amusing.
"There is only one Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum seed, and I have now given it to you. If you cannot cultivate a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, I will let you experience every torture in Spirit Hall's dungeons. But if you succeed, I can give you anything you want. I can let you join Spirit Hall, become a deacon, enter Spirit Hall Academy, and become a true member of Spirit Hall! I can also give you a huge sum of money, enough for you to live in comfort for the rest of your life!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes were filled with madness. His voice was no longer as calm and unhurried as before, but crazed like that of a lunatic.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's mad demeanor gave Li Xuan quite a fright. He was afraid this man might tear him apart.
However, Chrysanthemum Douluo was a Title Douluo who had weathered countless storms. He quickly calmed down, looked seriously at Li Xuan again, and asked,
"Can you do it?"
"Um... In reply to Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, I can try. However, to ensure this seed's germination rate, before cultivating it, I would like to observe the growth of chrysanthemums and familiarize myself with their growing environment, as well as the frequency of fertilizing and watering them," Li Xuan said after considering it.
Li Xuan could not simply agree to this outright. If he did, Chrysanthemum Douluo would instead be reluctant to entrust the seed to him.
So Li Xuan made the request to cultivate more chrysanthemums first.
"Fine. There is an entire field of chrysanthemums in my Flower Sea. From today onward, you will be the supervisor of the West District. Lin Mo will serve as your assistant, and everything in the West District will be under your authority!" Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded without hesitation and agreed to Li Xuan's request.
Hearing Li Xuan make such a professional request, Chrysanthemum Douluo relaxed. It seemed that Li Xuan truly had some skill.
"Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, I would also like one person," Li Xuan suddenly said, as though recalling something, before bowing to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Who?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked, showing no impatience.
"One of my friends. He is also a Flower Slave, and his name is Bai Wen." Li Xuan respectfully saluted Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"He is yours. Do you have any other requests? Say them all at once." Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hand and spoke without hesitation.
"In reply to Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, no. I will do everything in my power to cultivate a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum for you!" Li Xuan knelt once more and prostrated himself before Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Ha ha, good child, good child! Lin Mo, later, take my writ and go with Li Xuan to the West District. The chrysanthemum field in the West District will be yours to use as you please. I will arrange the best lodging and servants for you. Just focus on cultivating the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum for me!" Chrysanthemum Douluo had come in high spirits and left in high spirits!
Then, Chrysanthemum Douluo moved and vanished from Li Xuan's courtyard.
Li Xuan remained kneeling on the ground, prostrated, not even daring to lift his head.
After a while, Lin Mo came over to Li Xuan's side and quietly reminded him,
"Xuan Ge'er, His Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo has already left. We can get up now." Lin Mo spoke to Li Xuan in a somewhat flattering tone.
After hearing Lin Mo's voice, Li Xuan slowly raised his head. Only after confirming that Chrysanthemum Douluo was gone did he climb to his feet.
Then all strength left him, and he sat back down on the ground.
Over the past ten-odd minutes, Li Xuan's heart had felt as though it were riding a roller coaster, plunging and rising, swaying left and right!
One thunderbolt after another!
"Xuan Ge'er, when are we going to the West District?" Lin Mo asked Li Xuan with a chuckle.
Originally, Lin Mo had thought Li Xuan was just a child. Believing it was best to pick on the weak, he had wanted to assert himself by frequently bullying Li Xuan.
But now Chrysanthemum Douluo valued Li Xuan, and Li Xuan had even become Lin Mo's superior!
Lin Mo immediately put on a fawning smile and began pledging his loyalty to Li Xuan.
"Lin Mo, take His Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo's writ to the West District now and help me complete the handover. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the West District and study the chrysanthemum field." Li Xuan rose from the ground, brushed the dust from his clothes, and smiled at Lin Mo.
"Got it, Xuan Ge'er. I'll handle it right away!" Lin Mo turned and left after saying that.
Li Xuan watched Lin Mo's retreating back and revealed a cold smile.
