Infernal Delicate Apricot may seem assertive, but she is also able to assess situations clearly.
She was no match for the other party now, so naturally she wouldn't force herself to fight against Snow Empress.
She quickly said, "I won't! I won't!"
Youyou, standing to the side, was also somewhat dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that these people who came would have such strength. Even if they had advanced to the level of 100,000 years, they would not be a match for them.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass by the ice spring remained silent, knowing it was no match for the Snow Empress after witnessing her attack.
For a moment, the three 100,000-year-old Immortal Herb beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well fell silent.
Faced with such a formidable foe, if they were to forcibly seize the Immortal Herb, they would have no way to resist.
Snow Empress did not continue to make a move, but instead looked at Kong Xuan behind her, clearly handing over the right to speak to him.
Before Kong Xuan could even speak, Youyou hurriedly said, "There are specific methods for picking and consuming these Immortal Herb. If you don't use the right method, even if you steal them, they won't be effective."
Kong Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and swallowed the words he was about to say, because he knew that Youyou was right.
Although Kong Xuan was familiar with the plot of the original work, he couldn't possibly remember some details so clearly, such as the methods for consuming and storing these Immortal Herb.
Kong Xuan squinted at Youyou and said, "Are you trying to threaten me by saying all this?"
"It's not even a threat!"
A Youyou voice trembled slightly as it said, "You are too powerful; we are no match for you."
"However, if you want to forcibly take the Immortal Herb, even if you steal them all from us, without knowing how to consume them, they'll just be a pile of useless herbs in the end."
Kong Xuan never expected that Youyou had previously seemed so gentle, would say such things. No wonder Tang San entrusted the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record to her for safekeeping.
However, her saying this clearly indicates that there's more to discuss.
Kong Xuan chuckled, "I know the medicinal section of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record is on you. Once I get it, I'll know how to consume these Immortal Herb."
The Youyou, pale pink petals trembled slightly; no one had expected that Kong Xuan would even know about this.
"What... what... what do you want?!"
Youyou's tone was anything but calm; at this moment, she even had the idea of destroying the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
"Oh!"
Kong Xuan chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, I won't take all the Immortal Herb here; I'll only take a portion."
This wasn't because Kong Xuan, but because there weren't many people worthy of his help in plotting to obtain Immortal Herb, so naturally there was no need to seize all of Immortal Herb.
Moreover, once his Soul Spirit System matures, he still hopes that these three 100,000-year-old Immortal Herb will become the Soul Spirit of his sister and Meng Hongchen.
Hearing Kong Xuan's words, Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously probed, "If that person's successor comes and passes the test to take away seven Immortal Herb, how about we give you seven as well?"
"Not very good!"
Kong Xuan refused without hesitation. Even though his needs were limited, seven plants were still not enough.
He looked at the large pink flower in front of him and said, "Don't try to bargain with me, or I'll steal the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and take you all with me!"
Kong Xuan's threat made Youyou's flower-like body tremble slightly, and then she asked softly, "What kind of Immortal Herb do you need?"
Before coming, Kong Xuan had already thought things through, and now he spoke directly, " Aromatic Silk Beauty, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew Waters, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Star Luo Spirit Pearl, Primordial Immortal Primordial Immortal Herb, Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, Earth Dragon Golden Melon."
"Um... that's all for now."
These are all immortal Immortal Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Kong Xuan's memory. Since they were selected in the original work, they must be extraordinary.
Each time Kong Xuan read out a name, Youyou's mood grew heavier.
Because the Immortal Herb that Kong Xuan mentioned are indeed all around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and these are the most precious Immortal Herb!
Youyou wanted to refuse, but thinking of Snow Empress's terrifying palm strike and Kong Xuan's serious tone, she really didn't dare.
"Could you please not use so much?"
Youyou tone was somewhat aggrieved, and even carried a hint of pleading.
"I told you, don't try to bargain with me!" Kong Xuan's heart was as hard as iron, but then his tone softened a bit as he said, "We can let these Immortal Herb leave seeds, and with this precious land, they will soon be able to grow again."
Having said all that, Youyou knew there was no going back, and perhaps this was the best outcome.
"Why!"
She sighed, and the petals fluttered. Not far away, a large, golden chrysanthemum detached from the soil and floated in front of her.
"This is an 8,000-year -Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. It must not come into contact with any metal, otherwise its medicinal effects will be completely lost. When consuming it, simply eat the petals one by one."
These Immortal Herb are different from other Plant-type Soul Beast; even after 100,000 years, only a few can develop sentience.
Take this 8,000-year-old Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum for example; it simply doesn't possess the imposing presence expected of an 8,000-year-old Soul Beast.
Kong Xuan was prepared for this; with a wave of his hand, a huge jade box appeared before him.
After putting the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum into the jade box, Kong Xuan continued to look at Youyou in front of him.
Just like before, the Youyou petals trembled slightly, and with a flash of light, a Immortal Herb floated to her side once more.
This herb looks unremarkable, all green, with three snow-white leaves in the center, and a few drops of water in the center of each leaf.
The Youyou voice rang out again. " The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, needs to be Ice Seal after it leaves the soil. Only a few drops of dew in the center of the herb are edible."
Next, the Youyou voice seemed to gradually lose its strength, and presented the Immortal Herb that Kong Xuan had mentioned earlier to him one by one.
"Alright, now that you've received the Immortal Herb you requested, you can leave."
Her Youyou voice carried a hint of pleading; she genuinely hoped that Kong Xuan and the others would leave soon.
"What's the rush!"
Kong Xuan spoke slowly and deliberately, then turned his gaze to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the other two auras that were ten thousand years old.
Upon seeing Kong Xuan's gaze, both the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass trembled, a sense of foreboding welling up in their hearts.
Kong Xuan didn't waste any words and said directly, "I also need Blazing Gum and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal!"
"Impossible!"
Two voices rang out simultaneously, one from Infernal Delicate Apricot and the other from Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
Both the Blazing Gum and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal are treasures that they spent a lot of time condensing. If they lose them, the cultivation of these two Immortal Herb will also be damaged.
Since it concerned their own cultivation, the two of them naturally wouldn't compromise easily.
Kong Xuan's voice immediately turned cold. "I'm not discussing this with you, nor do I need your consent."
"If you don't hand over the Blazing Gum and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal, then I'll take matters into my own hands!"
As soon as Kong Xuan finished speaking, Snow Empress's aura surged again, making her look like she might make a move at any moment.
"Don't do it! Don't do it!"
A Youyou voice then rang out, offering words of comfort, " A Jiao, Bingbing, don't be impulsive. Losing those essences here will allow you to quickly regain them."
Upon hearing Infernal Delicate Apricot fell into deep thought. She had already compromised before, so compromising again wouldn't be a big deal.
However, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass on the other side was much more assertive. Her icy voice rang out. "Unless I die, you won't get the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal!"
