"If I am not wrong, you have the Essence of Herbalism and the Flame of Purity."
These words were spoken with certainty and sarcasm.
Ling Xian frowned, but he wasn't surprised. He knew very well that his behavior today was far too obvious. Any knowledgeable person would be able to guess it.
The 43 spiritual medicines were extremely rare. Even alchemists may not be able to recognize them all. Yet he was able to recognize them as if they were his family heirlooms. How unbelievable was this?
Just look at Cao Feng. Though he wasn't a great person, the Cao Clan was a giant in the alchemy world. Despite this, he, a talented descendant, couldn't recognize a single one of them. Other than showing off how insane Ling Xian was, it also showed off how mysterious he was.
Think about it. The spiritual medicines that even the most knowledgeable alchemists couldn't recognize were described in detail by a young man. Didn't this prove something?
Other than the legendary Essence of Herbalism, what else could be so heaven-defying?
Then, Ling Xian was calm and collected. He didn't think much of the poisons. Every single one of them was dissolved within three breaths of time. Plus, he didn't consume any antidotes.
Remember that those spiritual medicines were extremely poisonous. Even those of the original level cannot defend against them with their own cultivation!
Yet Ling Xian did it as if it was as easy as eating or drinking. He merely used a short period of time to dissolve more than 20 different poisons. How insane was this?
Why wouldn't Hong Yan Xin be suspicious?
After searching through her memory, she found out that only two spiritual medicines could ignore all poisons. One was the legendary Holy Spirit Water. The other was the Godly Fire, the Flame of Purity.
She could expel the former because if Ling Xian secretly consumed the Holy Spirit Water, then with her cultivation level, there was no way she wouldn't notice. In this way, the answer was obvious.
Only the legendary Flame of Purity could treat all poisons as if they were nothing and swallow them as if they were drinking water!
"I wonder if I am right?" Hong Yan Xin smiled brightly. Her beautiful face was full of confidence.
Ling Xian's expression was calm as he said, "You are already certain. Why ask me?"
"I asked you because I wanted to see your shocked expression, but you don't seem to be surprised." Hong Yan Xin teased and stared at Ling Xian, as if she was trying to determine if he was truly calm or if he was faking it.
Then, her beautiful eyes revealed a trace of disappointment. She finally realized that Ling Xian was truly calm. Not only was he not surprised, he seemed to have predicted this.
"Why would it be an accident?" The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he grinned, "The moment I decided to reveal all the information about the spiritual medicines, I knew that someone would be able to guess the two treasures I have."
"Then why did you expose yourself? Aren't you afraid that someone will plot against you?" Hong Yan Xin frowned.
"In the past, I would have been afraid. I would have hidden myself carefully."
Ling Xian appeared to be reminiscing. After a moment of silence, he exclaimed, "But, I am no longer who I used to be. The me now has the ability to protect myself."
Yes, he was no longer who he was in the past. In a short span of ten years, he had undergone a tremendous change.
Back then, Ling Xian was merely a young cultivator without any ability to protect himself. Therefore, he had to carefully hide himself. But now, he had become a completion leveled powerhouse. He was also one of the best in this realm.
Even if an original leveled cultivator made a move, they may not be able to stop him.
Therefore, he no longer needed to hide himself like before. He could openly reveal the Essence of Herbalism and the Godly Fire. On top of that, these two treasures have become one with him and cannot be taken away.
The reason why he didn't reveal them before was because he was afraid that people wouldn't know about them and would get into trouble. For two, he didn't have the opportunity to reveal them. Today, he had the ability to solve problems and the two treasures cannot be taken away. What was there to be afraid of?
"It seems like you are very confident."
Hong Yan Xin's eyes flashed with strangeness, "I just want to know, if an original leveled cultivator attacks, how will you, a completion leveled cultivator, defend?"
The moment her voice trailed off, this beautiful woman became enraged. Because she realized that Ling Xian was looking at her like she was an idiot.
"To be able to guess that I have the Essence of Herbalism and the Godly Fire, it is obvious that you are very knowledgeable. Don't you know that the Essence of Herbalism is something nobody can take away?"
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile, "Plus, I can clearly tell you that the moment the Flame of Purity entered my body, it has already become one with the Essence of Herbalism. In other words, it cannot be taken away. "
"Then why did you say there is no need to hide anymore? Aren't you contradicting yourself?" Hong Yan Xin frowned. She knew that the Essence of Herbalism cannot be taken away. But she has never heard of the Godly Fire that cannot be taken away.
"I didn't reveal it before."
Ling Xian chuckled and teased, "Because I was afraid of people like you who don't understand me and think I can take it away, then you will come and cause me trouble."
"Hmmph, are you trying to insult me?"
Hong Yan Xin hissed. The way Ling Xian looked at her like she was looking at an idiot made her angry. If she didn't have a favor to ask of him, she would've slapped him away a long time ago.
"That's what you said, I didn't." Ling Xian softly grinned, "Okay, I can tell. What do you want? Just say it."
"You sure are smart." Hong Yan Xin spoke softly, "Come with me. Let's have a good talk. It will definitely be good for you."
Then, she turned around and walked forward.
Seeing this, Ling Xian stayed silent for a while and then marched forward.
Just like that, the two of them, one in front and one behind, turned left and right and arrived at another stone room.
This place wasn't large. In the four corners, there were four luminous pearls that were emitting soft and bright light. In the middle of the room, there was a stone table, two stone chairs, and a set of cups.
"Sit."
Hong Yan Xin spoke softly and flapped around her sleeve. Two pure white tea leaves fell into the teacup, exuding a refreshing aroma.
Ling Xian's eyes brightened and he complimented, "Snow from the Heaven Mountain, a spiritual tea of the highest quality. It has the ability to clear the mind and clear the heart. One leaf is worth more than ten thousand gold. In terms of value, it is no lesser than the Tea of Enlightenment. "
"You know your stuff."
Hong Yan Xin smiled brightly and sipped on her tea, "I won't beat around the bush. I called you here because I have something I hope you can help me with." "That's right. That's right.
"Why me?" Ling Xian softly grinned. He didn't ask what it was like like a normal person would. Instead, he asked this question.
Hong Yan Xin erased her smile and said in a low voice, "Because I have been waiting for you for more than a hundred years."
"That is a scary statement. If I didn't know better, I would've thought you predicted my arrival." Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. He knew very well that the person Hong Yan Xin was waiting for wasn't him.
"Of course I don't know how to predict your arrival. If I did, I wouldn't have waited here for more than a hundred years." Hong Yan Xin spoke softly, "To put it more accurately, I am waiting for the Essence of Herbalism and the Godly Flame."
"And you are the person I have been waiting for."
