Hong Yan Xin kneeled on the ground and stared at Ling Xian with hope and pleading.
Ever since she was born, she has only kneeled to her parents. She hasn't even kneeled to the heavens. Now, she really had no other choice. Ling Xian was her only and last hope.
Or else with her identity, there was no way she would kneel to anyone, let alone a completion leveled cultivator.
This moved Ling Xian. He didn't think this woman would kneel to him.
With his eyesight, he could tell that Hong Yan Xin was not an ordinary person. Don't forget, when he used his Qi to investigate, it was like a clay ox entering the ocean – not a single ripple was created.
This alone was enough to prove that this woman's cultivation level far surpassed his. He was now a completion leveled cultivator of the advanced stage. Therefore, the answer was obvious. Other than original leveled cultivators, who else could make his Qi sink into the ocean like a rock?
Yet at this moment, an original leveled cultivator was kneeling before him. Why wouldn't he be moved?
"Fairy Hong, why are you doing this?"
Ling Xian softly sighed. From what she said and how she kneeled down, he could tell that Hong Yan Xin had no other choice. Or else why would she, an original leveled cultivator, beg like this?
This put him in a difficult position. If he helped, he would have to take a great risk. If he didn't help, he wouldn't have the heart to.
However, Ling Xian was no longer the kind young man he used to be. He had experienced far too much and his mentality had turned cold. Even though his personality hadn't changed much, right now, he was thinking more about himself.
Using the situation before him as an example, the first thing he had to think about was whether or not his life was in danger. Then, he had to think about his own benefits. Finally, he had to think about compassion.
"I have no other choice. Only those with the Flame of Purity and the Omnipotence of Herbs can do it. In other words, only you can help me."
Hong Yan Xin's face was full of sincerity. Since she had already kneeled, she might as well throw caution to the wind. She begged, "Please, I am begging you. As long as you can help me with this, I will do anything you ask of me."
"To be honest, it's not impossible." Ling Xian thought about it and felt like with the Flame of Purity, he should be able to protect himself.
Even if he could not block the poison of the Forest of a Thousand Poison, he could still retreat and not die.
"Young Master, I'm begging you. As long as you promise me, you can choose any of these miraculous herbs." Hong Yan's beautiful eyes exploded with a dazzling light. Then, with a thought, hundreds of strange herbs appeared in midair.
Every single stalk emitted a gentle halo of light that interweaved together to form a hazy halo of light. It was dreamlike, illusory, and gorgeous like a rainbow.
Then, the spiritual energy vibrations from these spiritual medicines were shocking. They were similar to the spiritual medicines in the secret room. However, there was a tri-colored lotus that was an exception. The spiritual energy it emitted was only of the third grade.
However, it instantly attracted Ling Xian's attention.
"The Lotus of the Three Released Souls!" Ling Xian's eyes brightened. He didn't think he would see this strange medicine here.
Of course, it would be an exaggeration to say that he had been looking forward to it for a long time. However, he had never forgotten the name of this wondrous herb.
Back in the City of Qing, he obtained a Lotus of Three Wonders. As long as he finds the Lake of the Resting Soul in the future, he will be able to transform it into the Lotus of Three Wonders. This type of medicine had the ability to nourish the soul and was the most suitable for a cultivator's soul.
Therefore, the moment he saw the Lotus of the Three Released Souls, he thought of the immortals inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals.
"I can wear out iron shoes while searching for it, but by chance, I find it by chance. I cannot believe I would find such a miraculous medicine here."
Ling Xian silently smiled and his eyes flickered with anticipation, "With the nourishment of the Lotus of the Three Released Souls, the fourth immortal will wake up soon."
Thinking about it, he made up his mind to agree to Hong Yan Xin's request. After all, he had the ability to protect himself and wouldn't die. Why not give it a try?
"This matter, I promise you."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "But I cannot promise that I will get that item from the Forest of a Thousand Poison. So don't get your hopes up."
Hearing his promise, Hong Yan Xin fell into ecstasy and nodded, "I understand, I understand. I am already lucky that you are willing to try. Why would I ask for 100% certainty?"
"That's good. But the first time, I can promise. As long as the spiritual medicine you speak of is there, I will be able to find it. "Ling Xian softly grinned. He was 100% confident about this.
"I believe you." Hong Yan Xin smiled brightly and her expression was full of ecstasy.
To her, that flower and that item were like her life. They were things she had to get. Therefore, even though she wasn't certain, as long as Ling Xian agreed to try, then there was hope.
Therefore, why wouldn't she be ecstatic?
However, Ling Xian's next statement made her clench her teeth. She couldn't do anything about it.
To get something, one must first give something. Plus, this was a business transaction. It was the law of the land and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Then, let's talk about my reward." Ling Xian softly grinned and pointed at the three-colored lotus, "I want this."
"The Lotus of the Three Released Souls?" Hong Yan Xin followed Ling Xian's finger and couldn't help but be startled.
Because out of the hundreds of spiritual medicines here, this spiritual medicine wasn't the most valuable. In fact, it was the least valuable one. Therefore, she couldn't understand why Ling Xian would choose this spiritual medicine that was only of the third realm.
"That's right." Ling Xian nodded with a smile. He wasn't related to Hong Yan Xin and there was no way he was going to take such a big risk for her.
Therefore, a reward was a must. He wasn't a kind person who didn't ask for anything in return.
"Master, I told you. If you agree, you can pick any spiritual medicine you want."
Hong Yan Xin hesitated, thinking that Ling Xian was merely asking for a token reward. Therefore, she smiled brightly, "My family is rich. There is no need to be thrifty."
Ling Xian chuckled, realizing that Hong Yan Xin had misunderstood. The Lotus of the Three Released Souls truly wasn't the most valuable spiritual medicine here, but it was the one he needed the most.
However, he was too lazy to explain. Since Hong Yan Xin had spoken, if he didn't pick a few more, then wouldn't he be letting down her good intentions?
Smiling teasingly, Ling Xian manipulated his Qi and Essence of Herbalism to scan the spiritual medicines in midair. Then, his eyes brightened as he made a new discovery.
It was a black, sawtooth shaped medicinal herb that was swirling with dark light. It gave off a mysterious vibe.
The Grass of the Recovering Soul.
A spiritual medicine of the first realm that could be used to heal the wounds inflicted on the soul. It was similar to the Lotus of the Three Released Souls.
"That's right. This will greatly reduce the time it takes for the fourth immortal to wake up." Ling Xian silently grinned and continued to inspect the spiritual medicines.
Slowly, he made another discovery. It was a rare and rare spiritual medicine.
The Flower of the Awakening Soul.
One of the spiritual medicines that could wake up cultivators who were in a coma due to their soul being damaged. In other words, this spiritual medicine was the most suitable medicine for the sleeping immortals inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals!
Therefore, the moment Ling Xian saw it, his eyes turned heated.
"The Flower of the Awakening Soul. With this spiritual medicine, even the fifth immortal can wake up faster." Ling Xian's eyes shone brightly. As much as he was happy, he also exclaimed at the wonders of the world.
If he didn't coincidentally come to the City of Dan and was attracted by this strange shop, how could he find the spiritual medicine that was suitable for the immortals inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals?
"The Flower of the Awakening Soul, the Grass of the Resting Soul, and the Lotus of the Three Released Souls. I want all three of these spiritual medicines." Ling Xian softly grinned and retracted his Qi. He didn't continue his search.
He wasn't a greedy person. Plus the two spiritual medicines he acquired, his gains were shocking enough. Plus, among spiritual medicines of the same level, spiritual medicines that are related to the soul are the most valuable and far more valuable than spiritual medicines of the same level.
For example, the Flower of the Awakening Soul. Its value was equivalent to two different spiritual medicines. Therefore, if he continued to ask for more, it would be a little unreasonable.
"Three spiritual medicines that are related to the soul."
Hong Yan Xin's brows were slightly raised, but she quickly relaxed. To make Ling Xian do his best, she was willing to give up the hundreds of spiritual medicines before her, let alone three spiritual medicines.
"No problem. If you need anything else, just ask."
Ling Xian brandished his hand and smiled, "That's enough. Please tell me the name of the spiritual medicine."
"The Flower of Three Lives on Opposite Shores."
Hong Yan Xin's expression was serious as she said in a low voice, "Please find this flower and give it to me."
"No wonder you didn't hesitate to bow to me. It turns out that you wanted this strange flower."
Ling Xian stared at Hong Yan Xin. Naturally, he knew about the Flower of Three Lives on Opposite Shores. However, he was too lazy to investigate, "I know. When does the gathering of the alchemists begin?"
"In two months. Then, you can register as a nomadic cultivator and enter the Realm of Alchemy." Hong Yan Xin stared at Ling Xian with high expectations.
"In two months? I cannot believe I will be able to make it to the gathering of the alchemists."
Ling Xian mumbled and exclaimed, "You and I are both very lucky. The gathering of the alchemists only happens once every 10 years. Coincidentally, I have appeared before you at this time."
"Yes. You are the last hope God has given me. Therefore, I firmly believe that you will not disappoint me." Hong Yan Xin smiled brightly, full of confidence towards Ling Xian.
"Nobody can guarantee that. I can help you get the Flower of Other Shores, but as for the Forest of a Thousand Poison, I cannot be sure." Ling Xian shook his head, "Alright, arrange a place for me. I will stay here and wait for the gathering of the alchemists to begin."
"Okay, Xiao Cui, take this young man to rest," Hong Yan Xin said softly.
Just then, Xiao Cui's muscular silhouette appeared before the door. She extended her right hand and said in a low voice, "Please."
Ling Xian nodded softly and marched forward.
However, just as he reached the stone room, he stopped. After a moment of silence, he said something that startled Hong Yan Xin.
"The world is big and full of strange things. But I do not believe that people can be revived."
As soon as his voice trailed off, Ling Xian marched forward in giant steps and disappeared from the corridor.
"Can people really not be revived after they die?"
Hong Yan Xin mumbled to herself as tears rolled down her cheeks.
