One-Month Agreement

Put away the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Wu Qingkong naturally noticed the newly sprouted flower at his feet.

"Eh, what is this?!"

Wu Qingkong guided his consciousness toward the newly born flower.

No aura of energy came from it.

Yet, nourished by Wu Qingkong's blood, the flower gently swayed, as though greeting him.

Wu Qingkong was drawn to it.

"What a beautiful little flower, but what kind of flower is it?!"

"Why doesn't it have even a trace of energy? Logically speaking, ordinary flowers shouldn't grow in the core region of a treasure land like the Icefire Yin Yang Well, should they?!"

"Forget it. I'll take it with me. It might prove useful someday..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qingkong put away the tiny flower seedling as well.

Afterward, he wandered around the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

In such a treasured place, countless immortal flowers and herbs grew.

However, Wu Qingkong was alone. He had already consumed two immortal herbs and taken one Nameless Flower.

Although he did not know what the Nameless Flower did, he could vaguely sense that it was extraordinary. It might be of great use in the future!

After giving it some thought.

Wu Qingkong decided to bring an immortal herb back for Qian Qinghe as well!

As his best brother, Wu Qingkong naturally would not treat her poorly.

Qian Qinghe's martial soul was the Twin-Winged White Bird. Among soul beasts, this white bird was merely a rather ordinary species.

Yet for some reason, his brother's white bird not only possessed formidable offensive power, but also wielded both light and fire attributes.

Its attacks were not only incredibly powerful, but also carried sacred purifying power.

In the past, Wu Qingkong had asked his brother why her White Bird martial soul was so powerful, its quality far surpassing others of its kind.

Qian Qinghe had merely smiled.

"Perhaps it's a martial soul mutation, which is why it gained two extra attributes."

Wu Qingkong had not pursued the matter further.

Martial soul mutations truly came in all sorts of strange forms.

For instance, the lightning attribute of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon could mutate into the fire-attributed Red Dragon.

It could even mutate into the Golden Sacred Dragon, then mutate once more into Sky-Shattering Earth-Splitting Luo Sanpao.

A White Bird martial soul having two additional attributes was nothing particularly strange.

"Still, these dual light-and-fire attributes... really are somewhat similar to the Six-Winged Angel of the Spirit Hall's Qian Clan."

After sighing in reflection, Wu Qingkong did not dwell on it any further.

In the past, he had also been curious about Qian Qinghe's surname. After all, the Qian Clan of Spirit Hall was far too famous.

When he was young, he had once asked Qian Qinghe curiously.

"Why is your surname Qian too? Don't tell me you're from Spirit Hall?!"

Upon hearing that, Qian Qinghe had hurriedly explained that she and the Qian Clan of Spirit Hall.

Had once shared the same origins ten thousand years ago.

It was simply that the Angelic Power within her Qian Clan's ancestors had been impure, and the clan had gradually declined.

Thus, their family had chosen to live in seclusion, while the Qian Clan of Spirit Hall continued to inherit the Angel lineage.

Therefore, in Wu Qingkong's eyes, his brother had most likely undergone an ancestral reversion through martial soul mutation.

After pondering it for a while.

Wu Qingkong ultimately decided to pluck a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum for Qian Qinghe.

After consuming this immortal herb, one would gain an indestructible body, while their physique would be strengthened in every aspect.

His brother's body was so soft. After taking this immortal herb, she would surely gain enormous benefits.

After plucking the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Wu Qingkong also casually picked a Daffodil Jade Muscles and Bones.

This immortal herb was most suitable for female soul masters. He planned to leave it for Dugu Bo tomorrow, so he could pass it on to Dugu Yan.

After all, this medicinal garden belonged to the Dugu Family.

Dugu Yan was also considered a close friend. By both sentiment and reason, he should leave an immortal herb for the Dugu Family.

The next day arrived quickly.

At daybreak.

Dugu Bo came to the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

At that moment, he was beaming with delight as he walked up to Wu Qingkong.

He stretched out an arm and slung it around Wu Qingkong's shoulder.

"Good lad, I never expected that pill of yours to actually work!"

"When my poison flared up last night, the pain throughout my body really did lessen considerably."

"I have a feeling that in half a year at most, the toxins in my body will be almost completely cleared."

"If you have nothing else to do, stay here with me for half a year!"

"You won't lose out cultivating in this treasured place of mine. If you get bored, I'll call Yanyan over to keep you company."

Wu Qingkong immediately shook his head upon hearing that.

"Senior, I have something to do in one month."

"I truly don't have the time to stay here and refine pills for you."

"At most, I can stay for one month before I leave."

Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically.

"What?!"

"You're only staying for one month? What will happen to the poison in my body after you leave?!"

"Over this month, I'll refine all the remaining pills for you. When the time comes, just take them on schedule!"

"That way, neither of us will hold the other up."

However, Dugu Bo was somewhat dissatisfied. If Wu Qingkong did not stay, how could he create opportunities for him and Yanyan to spend time alone together?!

Dugu Bo was unwilling to accept it. "Must you go?"

"Whatever it is, this old man can handle it for you."

Wu Qingkong nodded. "I have to go. I'm going on a blind date. Why would an old man like you go in my place?"

"If you go and bring back some Chao Tianxiang for me, I won't even have a place to cry."

Dugu Bo fell into thought upon hearing that, then slowly said:

"I understand. Since that's the case..."

"In one month, you may leave on your own."

"Mm."

Wu Qingkong nodded and casually tossed out a jade box.

Dugu Bo reached out and caught it.

After opening it, he saw a wholly jade-white immortal herb lying inside.

The herb was pure white and translucent to the bone, with a faint floral fragrance drifting from it.

"What is this?!"

"Daffodil Jade Muscles and Bones. It nourishes the tendons and strengthens the bones. After consuming it, the whole body will become like jade. It is especially suited to female soul masters. Let Yanyan eat it!"

"It will only benefit her, never harm her."

Hearing that it would benefit Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo immediately smiled. "Thanks, lad."

"I didn't expect you to think of my Yanyan too. If other soul masters saw this medicinal garden of mine covered in treasures, they would have long since eaten everything clean."

"Why would they ever think of me and Yanyan?!"

"You're a lad of good character. You're a good person."

Wu Qingkong did not think much of it.

After all, he had already taken three of their immortal herbs and consumed two of them.

Anyone with even a little conscience would leave something behind for the Dugu Family.

Over the following days, Wu Qingkong cultivated at the Icefire Yin Yang Well every day, then refined pills.

Whenever he had free time, he led Dugu Bo around and taught him to identify the various immortal herbs and their effects.

The more Dugu Bo listened, the more shocked he became.

He truly had not expected that his treasured land could nurture such supreme immortal herbs.

Every single one had effects so heaven-defying!

After identifying all the immortal herbs, Dugu Bo pointed at a lingzhi and asked, "Little friend Qingkong, what does this lingzhi do?!"

"What's it for?"

Wu Qingkong looked at the Ninth-Grade Purple Lingzhi and found himself at a loss. This one did not qualify as an immortal herb and could only be considered a tonic. After thinking for a while, he said somewhat awkwardly, "Ninth-Grade Purple Lingzhi, uh... as for its effect, it can help someone break through rank thirty, I suppose?!"

Dugu Bo was instantly stunned.

"What?!"

"This thing is only useful for that? Isn't it complete trash?!"

After saying that, he directly tossed the Ninth-Grade Purple Lingzhi aside and ignored it.

At the same time.

Compared with the tranquility of the Icefire Yin Yang Well, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was now like a storm about to break.
