This man … Is he crazy? He actually wants to burn the Star Miscanthus?
Tang Xue Rou and the rest's expressions changed.
"Senior, please don't!" Tang Xue Rou screamed. How could he burn such a precious Star Miscanthus? It was a complete waste of resources!
Not only was the Star Miscanthus a crucial herb for the second stage of the Contest, it was also an extremely rare Wood attribute herb in the five nations. Although only the Sky Incense Valley knew how to cultivate it, its value was undeniable.
It was rumored that a single Star Miscanthus would fetch at least 500,000 spirit stones in the black market!
...
However, the fire in Xu Que's hand still managed to reach the top of the Star Miscanthus.
"Chi!"
In an instant, a series of sparks flew out. It was as if there were many tiny bright stars, shining with golden light. The sparks flew out from his hand and fell down like a fountain!
Tang Xue Rou and the rest were stunned. On one hand, Xu Que's action of burning the Star Miscanthus had shocked them. On the other hand, the Star Miscanthus looked really beautiful after it was burned!
"Damn, isn't this the fireworks that kids play with during the New Year?"
Xu Que looked at the glow in his hand and was elated. He didn't know that there was such a magical herb in the Cultivation World. Furthermore, it was indeed much more beautiful than the "fireworks" on Earth. It was quite fun …
He waved his hand and the golden "fireworks" drew an arc in the air. The arc stayed for a while before it gradually dissipated and landed on the ground. It left behind a faint light that couldn't be erased. However, it stunned Tang Xue Rou and the rest who were present!
After a while, the golden starlight finally dimmed completely.
The extremely precious Star Miscanthus had turned into ashes in Xu Que's hands and was blown away by the wind!
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 40 act tough points!"
The system beep rang out in his head.
"Wait a minute!" Xu Que paused for a moment and was overjoyed. "I, the Act Tough King, seems like … I've found a new way to act tough!"
"Hahaha, I'm going to earn big this time!" Xu Que laughed out loud. His figure flashed, and without even greeting Tang Xue Rou and the others, he immediately fled into the distance.
Zhang Su Liang and the others were also stunned. Only when Xu Que's figure disappeared in front of them did they look at each other and smile bitterly.
That "senior" … was really a strange person!
Only Tang Xue Rou's eyes flashed with a trace of suspicion. She felt that this black-robed man seemed very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
…
After a while, on the other side of the valley, a few cultivators were searching for the Star Miscanthus anxiously.
"After searching for so long, why can't we even see the shadow of the Star Miscanthus? Could it be that we really have no fate with the Sky Incense Valley?"
"We can only blame our bad luck."
"No, it's because the Star Miscanthus is too rare. Even though this valley is huge, it's impossible for it to be filled with Star Miscanthus. I reckon that it's long been plucked clean."
"Sigh, let's take a break. We'll split up later."
The few of them sighed, shaking their heads and complaining.
At this moment, a black-robed figure suddenly dashed past them.
When the few of them saw who it was, they were elated!
"Hey, guys, look. Isn't that the young man who said he wanted to go through the second stage alone?"
"Haha, look at how anxious he is. I bet he's dumbfounded."
"We have at least 10 hours left. I'm afraid that kid will be out in less than an hour."
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. He even dared to scold us at the entrance of the valley. Let's go and stop him and waste his time."
"Interesting. I want to see if he can still be so arrogant now!"
As soon as they finished talking, the few of them immediately turned into black shadows and chased after Xu Que.
"Kid, are you in a hurry to find the Star Miscanthus? Beg us. Even if you beg us, we won't give it to you. Hahahaha!" The few of them started to mock Xu Que.
When Xu Que heard the commotion, he was elated. He stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at the few of them. He opened his mouth and asked, "Do you guys believe that the Star Miscanthus really contains starlight?"
"Huh?"
The few of them were stunned and confused.
The Star Miscanthus really contains starlight? What does that mean?
"Could it be that this kid has gone crazy?"
"Seems like he's suffering from a mental blow from not being able to find the Star Miscanthus. Haha."
"Kid, you better get out of here. This place isn't suitable for you."
The few of them started to laugh at his misfortune.
Xu Que smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry. I've really found the Star Miscanthus. Do you want to see? Come, come, come. I'll show you. One stalk, eh, two stalks, hua, three stalks, four stalks … "
Looking at Xu Que taking out stalks after stalks of Star Miscanthus, the few of them were dumbfounded. Their faces were lifeless and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
"This … How is this possible?"
"A total of 10 stalks of Star Miscanthus. Oh my god!"
"What kind of luck does this kid have? He's actually so lucky."
"But he's only been here for an hour. How could he possibly get so many Star Miscanthus?"
The few of them were bewildered.
Xu Que waved his hand and smiled, "Stop guessing. With your IQ, you won't be able to guess where I got the Star Miscanthus from. I'll have to start from the time I went to the toilet. But that's not important. What's important is that I'm going to prove something to you today!"
"What … What is it?" The few of them were dumbfounded.
"That is … The Star Miscanthus really contains Star Miscanthus!"
"What the hell? What are you trying to say? "The few of them were impatient. They stared at the Star Miscanthus in Xu Que's hand, their eyes were filled with greed!
Xu Que's lips curled into a smile. He waved his black robe and snapped his fingers like a magician.
"Pa da!"
A flame suddenly appeared on his fingertip.
"Next, it's time to witness a miracle!"
As soon as he finished his sentence, the flame on Xu Que's fingertip soared and flew towards the 10 stalks of Star Miscanthus!
"No!"
"Damn, are you crazy?"
"Stop it!"
The few Cultivators were scared out of their wits. They screamed and rushed towards Xu Que.
However, the flame had already ignited all 10 stalks of Star Miscanthus!
With a "chi" sound, a beautiful golden Star Miscanthus blossomed from Xu Que's hand!
"..."
The few Cultivators' legs went soft and they sat on the ground, their faces lifeless.
"Ten stalks of Star Miscanthus, a whole ten stalks of Star Miscanthus …"
"They're gone just like that. They were actually burned right in front of me!"
"Ah!"
The few of them went from being filled with hope to despair. Their spirits suffered a huge blow. They stared at Xu Que viciously and were on the verge of going crazy.
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 30 act tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 50 act tough points!"
...
Xu Que didn't care about their expressions. Listening to the system beep in his head, his face was filled with joy. He waved the burning Star Miscanthus in his hands as if he was celebrating the New Year.
Facing the few cultivators, he was having a lot of fun. He drew arcs of golden "fireworks" and formed all kinds of different shapes.
Sometimes, he drew an "S" shape, and sometimes he drew a "B" shape.
Very quickly, in front of the few Cultivators, there were golden, shining "SB" words. A "SB" word dimmed and fell to the ground. A new "SB" word lit up.
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 20 act tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 30 act tough points!"
