Chapter 469: Servant

Nian Tu never took back his spiritual body. Its branches were wrapped around several leaves of the purple soul grass, and he could hear it shouting with joy in the formation.

Much cooler, but not enough?

She thought about it and made a slight change to the formation. The air that was originally cold condensed into white mist and formed frost on the leaves.

Although it was the cold weather that most plants could not avoid, the withered and yellow leaves of the Purple Soul Grass gradually turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming full again, and the stems straightened up little by little. Nian Tu took the opportunity to take out the Jade Dew Bottle and infuse it with spiritual energy. The withered Purple Soul Grass swayed happily, and the leaves stretched and shook open, revealing the small flower buds wrapped inside.

"…It's actually going to bloom?" The elders were all amazed, not wanting to blink.

They had never seen the purple soul grass in bloom and thought it would not bloom. Today they finally learned something new.

I think it is precisely because of this special habit that once the flower buds grow, it cannot adapt to the previous environment, which makes it extremely rare.

If it weren't for Nian Tu, this plant would have died.

"Qingwu, you have a great disciple!!" The elders' eyes lit up as they congratulated Qingwu, "Where did you find this great talent?"

Faced with the reality, they didn't mind being slapped in the face. As long as the Purple Soul Grass was still alive and such a talented disciple belonged to their Linggang Sect, everyone would be happy.

Even in Yaowang Valley there may not be such a powerful disciple!

Being able to communicate with spiritual plants is truly a rare talent. Everyone was curious and asked Nian Tu questions, wanting to know if this was her natural ability and whether there was any reason behind it.

"Go away, go away. Why are you asking so many questions? Are you jealous of others' talents?" Elder Qingyan's words were as unpleasant as ever, but he did not hide his protective attitude.

He rescued the little rabbit from the encirclement, and turned to the elder who secretly collected the spiritual herbs, "Where is the beautiful Yuehui? Hand her over! I will admit defeat."

“……”, the elder’s face turned red in embarrassment.

After hesitating for a long time, he took out the spiritual herb emitting a soft glow from the storage bag again and pushed it towards Nian Tu, "Here, here you go."

Although he was reluctant, he had said it himself and he couldn't go back on his word.

He had indeed misunderstood the little rabbit demon just now and almost got into a fight with her, so it was only right that he should give her some compensation.

But this compensation really hurts him...

The elder stared at the precious spiritual plant reluctantly, hoping that it would have a little affection for him.

Don't spiritual plants have emotions? He wanted to know what this Moonlight Beauty was thinking right now. If it couldn't bear to part with him, he would pay any other price to redeem it.

The beautiful Yuehui had no attachment to him at all. Instead, she showed a fawning look to Nian Tu, whom she had just met.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it put its leaves into the palm of its hand and they fell off automatically.

Nian Tu heard its joyful voice, "For you! For you!"

She pinched the thick and flexible leaves, feeling sorry for this spiritual plant that had already developed wisdom, and asked through her spirit body, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt!" said the beautiful Yuehui in a nonchalant tone.

It has no concept of pain, only the difference between comfort and discomfort. Picking leaves is naturally uncomfortable, but it is not too uncomfortable. After all, it is just an insignificant leaf. As long as it is not plucked out all at once, it does not matter.

It even added to Nian Tu in a serious manner, "Don't worry, this leaf is clean and has not been touched by him!"

Nian Tu: “…”

She glanced at its original owner, a little embarrassed.

The original owner didn't know that he was being rejected by the spiritual grass again, and his eyes turned green with jealousy, "..."

How come he never gets this kind of treatment???

On the side, the Purple Soul Grass also became anxious, twisting its leaves to pester Nian Tu, saying in a thin voice, "I'll give it to you too! I have something for you too!"

It held it in for a long time, and after shaking its leaves hard, the bud suddenly opened, and a small pink and purple flower bloomed.

In an instant, an indescribable fragrance spread in all directions.

Even Qing Yan and Qing Wu, who have such high levels of cultivation, could not avoid looking dazed.

When natural treasures appear in the world, they are often accompanied by strange phenomena. Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound is heard from the sky, which is the sound of thunder.

With the formation set up by the Treasure Pavilion blocking them, nothing could go wrong for a while. Everyone was reluctant to leave, and they took a deep breath, smelling the rare fragrance, and felt that all the pain in their bodies was healed.

Only Nian Tu faced the impact head-on and sneezed because of the fragrance.

She rubbed her nose, and before she could recover, she heard the shy voice of the Purple Soul Grass, "...Can you pollinate me? I will breed our seeds."

It has fallen in love with this big tree that makes it feel extremely safe and has fallen deeply in love.

“Cough, cough, cough!!” Nian Tu was horrified and started to cough violently. He shook his head vigorously, “Not good.”

Xie Jili didn't know what was wrong with her, so he patted her back hurriedly, his eyes full of anxiety, and smoothed her chest to help her calm down.

Nian Tu grabbed his hand and introduced Zi Po Cao to him in his spirit form, "Look, this is my Taoist partner."

Putting reproductive isolation aside, she and her partner have a stable relationship and would not give birth to an illegitimate child outside!

With thousands of years of age, the Purple Soul Grass had seen and heard countless things. Although it was not very smart, it also understood some of the rules of the monks. Hearing this, it drooped its small flower unhappily, "Okay then."

It looked at Xie Jili and was extremely unwilling.

How is this thing better than it? It has no leaves on its body, can't even bloom, and has no fragrance at all...

For some unclear purpose, half to compete and half to seduce, it shook off the petals and pollen together with a few leaves, and blew them into Nian Tu's palm with the wind.

Now, not only the original owner of the beautiful Yuehui, but also the eyes of other elders also glowed green.

Nian Tu seemed to be holding a hot potato, not knowing whether to accept it or return it. He didn't know what to do.

"Since it's a gift from it, you should accept it," Elder Qingyan wiped the non-existent saliva from his mouth and gave instructions, "You saved its life, so it's reasonable to take some compensation from it."

This was such a natural thing that the managing elder of Baibao Pavilion could not say a word to deny it. He just stared at Nian Tu's palm with eager eyes, hoping that she would name a price so that Baibao Pavilion could purchase these hard-to-find treasures.

The other elders also looked intently, unable to hide their greed.

“Sell me some too!”

"You can pick whatever you want from my hand. You can exchange it for anything you want!"

"Can I buy on credit first? I don't have that many spirit stones at the moment..."

Compared to the wealthy Baibao Pavilion, they naturally have no competitiveness, but they still can't help but ask for help.

It's not their fault that they are useless. It's just that the petals and pollen of the Purple Soul Grass are too rare. They have never seen it before, and no one knows when it will bloom next time. What if it's ten thousand years later?

Nian Tu stood there stiffly for a while, poked the purple soul grass and asked it if he could give these gifts to others. After getting a positive answer, he turned to Qing Wu and Qing Yan and split the treasure in his palm into two.

“…This, this is?!” Elder Qingwu was shocked, and Elder Qingyan couldn’t believe it.

Is it meant to be given to them???

Nian Tu nodded in affirmation.

If she kept the things in her hands, she wouldn't know what to do with them, and she would just be harassed endlessly. It would be better to give them to her master and Elder Qingyan so that they could make the best use of them.

All eyes from all directions were fixed on Qingwu and Qingyan, with envy mixed with jealousy, and jealousy mixed with hidden hatred.

Why did good things happen to these two?

“Hahahahahahahahaha!!!” Elder Qing Yan was stunned for a long while, and suddenly burst into laughter. Being stared at by so many people, he was not worried or afraid. Instead, he held his head high and enjoyed their envy and jealousy.

"Niannian, this storage bag is for you," Elder Qingwu shook his head and smiled, took out a storage bag that could hold living things, which contained many rare spiritual plants, and gave them all to Nian Tu.

As a master, how can I let my little apprentice suffer?

Upon seeing this, Elder Qingyan followed suit and stuffed a bunch of pills into Nian Tu's hands.

He didn't have much in his hands, mostly pills.

Nian Tu could not refuse and reaped a huge harvest.

She put the things away safely, thinking that the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, several dozen days later, Elder Qingwu suddenly came to her cave again and brought her a plump purple seed. "The purple soul grass has two seeds. We have discussed giving one to you, and the other one will be cultivated by several of us elders."

Nian Tu: “…”

She subconsciously recalled the subtle voice of the Purple Soul Grass, clamoring to produce seeds with her.

But she didn't even bloom, rejecting it completely. So... these are the grass seeds from self-pollination?

…So does that mean she adopted someone else’s child?

Nian Tu had a subtle expression, trying hard to suppress the strange feeling. He set up a spirit gathering array, buried the seeds in the soil at the center of the array, and sent down spiritual rain to keep the soil slightly moist.

The seeds of Purple Soul Grass are not as easy to germinate as ordinary spiritual plants, but judging from its vitality and activity, its condition is currently good.

In the evening, Nian Tu rode a crane to Danding Peak and mentioned this to Elder Qingyan, "If I succeed in growing the purple soul grass, I will give it to you."

"Hmm?" Elder Qing Yan was startled and pointed at himself. "Give it to me?"

"Yes," Nian Tu nodded, "Didn't you say before that you wanted it very much?"

She couldn't make such a boast at that time, but now she has seen the dawn of hope.

Elder Qingyan was stunned for a long time before he recalled what he had said before. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That was just a casual remark. You have already given me pollen and petals. You don't need to give me anything else."

The pollen and petals of the Purple Soul Grass really made those old guys dizzy with greed. Even the people in Medicine King Valley were drooling over it, and they only regretted that they came a step too late and got nothing.

As one of the only two people who got the treasure, Elder Qingyan has been in high spirits and walks with a lightness in recent times.

Nian Tu raised his claws and scratched his face, "But didn't you give me the elixir you made?"

The stamens were used as medicine, and the resulting pills could repair spiritual consciousness. The petals were used as medicine, and the resulting pills could repair spiritual roots. With Elder Qing Yan's talent for alchemy, he devoted himself to research for several months, but only got two pills, all of which he gave to her.

Seeing that it was exactly what he needed, Nian Tu didn't hesitate and immediately accepted Elder Qing Yan's gift and gave Xie Jili the pill made from the flower petals.

Now that the medicinal properties have been almost absorbed, his health has improved greatly.

“I’ve only used a portion of the elixir, there’s still a lot left.” Elder Qing Yan waved his hand, pretending to be disgusted. “Okay, take this guy away quickly, he’s about to chop down all my puppets!”

Perhaps due to his strong endurance, Xie Jili's meridians became extremely wide and tough during this long process of medicinal bathing and spiritual energy drainage. Once his spiritual roots were repaired, he absorbed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth like a whale.

Elder Qing Yan had never seen such a scene before, and was afraid that he would be struck to death by the continuous thunder, so he kept him for some time to protect him.

At this moment, the noise finally subsided, but he couldn't tell what level Xie Jili's cultivation was at, and couldn't feel any fluctuations in spiritual power.

...Is it because his spiritual awareness is too powerful, concealing his cultivation?

Elder Qingyan tried several methods but failed to figure it out. Out of curiosity, he used a puppet to test his strength.

So much so that now his cave is littered with the broken corpses of puppets.

The weakest of these puppets is at the Jindan stage... and they can't even withstand the power of Xie Jili's sword.

In combat mode, he exuded a fierce sense of oppression that even made Elder Qingyan feel terrified.

He sheathed his sword, hugged the soft little rabbit, and returned to his non-aggressive self, no different from usual.

The contrast is so great that it's like they are two completely different people.

Nian Tu stepped on his partner's chest muscles with his paws, "Now that you can practice normally, do you want to go to Yu Jian Peak to become my disciple?"

Having just had intense exercise, Xie Jili's muscles were still congested. The more she stepped on them, the tighter they became, and they felt hard to the touch.

His ears turned red as he gently pinched the rabbit's paw and shook his head, "I'll go with you to Baicao Peak."

He had planned this a long time ago.

When he was recovering at Danding Peak, he could only listen to Nian Tu talk about the trivial things that happened every day. But now, no matter where she goes or what she does, he can accompany her.

The senior brothers and sisters at Baicao Peak had seen Xie Jili a little more often. They were familiar with this junior sister's fiancé and had a good impression of him. They even prepared gifts to celebrate his recovery and express their welcome.

However, apart from them, no one else knew Xie Jili very well.

When disciples from various peaks met Nian Tu on the road and saw the chubby little rabbit, they couldn't help but take a few more glances and came forward to say hello.

"Junior Sister Nian Tu, long time no see!"

"This is a new gadget I got when I went down the mountain to kill demons. Let me give it to you to play with."

"I made you a little cape..."

Both men and women came, and their eyes seemed to be glued to the little rabbit. Even though Xie Jili was mentally prepared, he still underestimated how popular Nian Tu was.

After just one year of training, she has become the sect's favorite.

There are always people who can't resist the temptation and are eager to try to touch her hair, but they are all stopped by Xie Jili's strict defense.

"What is this...?" The person who was stopped withdrew his hand in dismay, frowned and looked at the strange man, "Junior sister has accepted a new servant?"
