Hearing Hua Wan Yue's apologetic tone, Ling Xian's expression softened and his gaze was no longer as cold.
He knew very well that if Hua Wan Yue chose to help the flower, then he would be in danger. Perhaps, he would lose his life here, let alone the Essence of Herbalism.
Therefore, he glared at Hua Wan Yue, "I will let it go this time. But if there is a next time, I will destroy this flower."
As soon as he said that, the Nine-Colored Divine Flower actually let out a human-like cry, as if it had felt fear.
This made Hua Wan Yue frown. She couldn't understand why the flower would continue to absorb and she couldn't understand why the flower would make a sound.
This was something that has never happened before.
"What a beautiful nine-colored flower. It has spirituality."
Ling Xian's eyes flickered. He knew why the flower continued to absorb. It was for his Essence of Herbalism.
He just couldn't understand why a flower would want the Essence of Herbalism.
"What happened today is unprecedented. I don't understand it either."
Hua Wan Yue bitterly chuckled and placed the dimmed flower back into her storage pouch, "You have been frightened. I apologize on behalf of this flower."
"Whatever. I wasn't really hurt." Ling Xian brandished his hand, "You are a trustworthy person. You didn't join hands with this flower to harm me."
"You are joking. You are the God of Flowers of the City of Flowers. Even though we are mutually beneficial, we still owe each other. "Hua Wan Yue smiled warmly.
Hearing this, Ling Xian's expression softened, "Since the nine-colored flower has absorbed 50 years of my lifespan, then give me the Holy Spirit Water."
Hua Wan Yue nodded. Though her heart was dripping blood, she still sent the two drops of Holy Spirit Water to Ling Xian.
"I finally got you."
Looking at the two jade bottles that were exuding shocking vitality, Ling Xian revealed a happy smile.
Even though he gave up 50 years of his lifespan for this item. It was easy to replenish his lifespan, but the Holy Spirit Water was not that easy to get.
Perhaps to others, lifespan was more important than the Holy Spirit Water. But to him, this trade was far too worth it. Not to mention 50 years of lifespan, even 100 years of it was worth it!
"Now I can awaken Ling Tian Xiang's consciousness, and I can show her the power of the sword."
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction and placed the two jade bottles into his storage pouch. Then, he shifted his gaze towards Hua Wan Yue, "The deal is over. Can you provide me with a quiet room?"
"You are the Goddess of Flowers of the City of Flowers. Your position is just below mine. What do you think?" Hua Wan Yue softly smiled. Her eyes flickered with a strange light.
After that exchange just now, she had fully recognized Ling Xian's capabilities. Compared to her, he was merely slightly weaker.
What kind of bright future would a monster like him, who was so young yet had such shocking battle prowess?
How could she not want to rope him in?
She wasn't the only one, any force would try their best to recruit Ling Xian!
"If that's the case, then thank you, City Leader Hua." Ling Xian looked at Hua Wan Yue meaningfully and guessed what this woman was planning.
"There's no need to thank me. You're the Flower God of my Flower City."
Hua Wan Yue once again emphasized the fact that he was the God of Flowers and smiled, "Follow me."
Then, she turned around and walked out the door.
At this, Ling Xian marched forward to catch up.
The two of them, one after the other, walked through two corridors and arrived before an independent courtyard.
"It's a small and humble home. I hope you don't mind." Hua Wan Yue smiled warmly.
"City Leader Hua, you are joking. This place is quiet and elegant. It suits my personality." Ling Xian brandished his hand.
Hua Wan Yue played with her bangs and smiled, "As long as you are satisfied. Then, I won't disturb you any longer."
Then, in a flash, she disappeared from where she stood.
"This woman is someone worth befriending."
Mumbling, Ling Xian pushed open the door and entered the courtyard. He carefully scanned around with his Qi. After finding nothing out of the ordinary, he no longer worried.
Then, he flapped around his sleeve and set up a few defensive arrays to prevent others from spying on him.
After all, this was his first time here, so he had to be careful. Plus, that heavy sword was priceless. If others find out about it, there will be a lot of trouble.
"Everything is set up. Next, it's time for that sword to shine."
Ling Xian's eyes flickered with anticipation. Since he had acquired the Holy Spirit Water, of course he was going to use a drop. He was going to wash away the filth and curse on the heavenly sword and let it regain its heavenly power!
"Let's go. I hope the rumors are true and the Holy Spirit Water can cleanse all impurities."
Ling Xian softly grinned and marched into the room. Then, with a thought, he took out the heavy sword.
This sword was wide and heavy. It was rusty and looked like a normal sword. There was nothing special about it. However, he knew very well that this sword was made from the legendary Purple Immortal Gold. No matter how weak it was, it couldn't be too weak.
Remember that any type of immortal gold is extremely powerful and has an astonishing value. Even the most powerful cultivators would break their heads for this kind of peerless divine material!
"I sure can't wait to see how much light this sword will shine after I remove the curse."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He took out the jade bottle from his storage pouch and poured a drop of the Holy Spirit Water onto the tip of the sword.
Immediately, liveliness emerged and filled the entire room. If he didn't set up an array before this, this would've instantly spread throughout the entire palace.
After all, this was the legendary Holy Spirit Water. Even though there was only one drop, it possessed a shocking amount of vitality!
When the Holy Spirit Water landed on the tip of the sword, it flowed down the sword's body. Though it was only one drop, the light it emitted engulfed the entire sword.
However, this heavy sword did not undergo any changes. It was still covered in rust and looked ordinary.
Ling Xian wasn't surprised by this. Even though the Holy Spirit Water could cleanse all curses and impurities, it still needed some time.
Therefore, he wasn't impatient and waited patiently.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
After a day, the heavy sword finally changed. The rust on the sword's body began to peel off at an extremely fast speed. Waves of black air began to pour out.
In an instant, a sinister and strange aura spread out, causing the temperature of the entire room to drop to freezing point. Even Ling Xian felt some coldness.
Without a doubt, this black air was the sword's curse and impurities. Now, it was being cleansed by the Holy Spirit Water.
"It is the legendary Holy Spirit Water after all. It sure is effective!"
Ling Xian's eyes brightened and he mumbled to himself, "If this continues, then it will be done in two more days."
Then, he manipulated the Golden Dan inside him to dissolve the black air that was pouring out of him. He waited for the heavenly sword to shine.
Time passed by little by little.
The heavy sword was suspended in midair. Under the nourishment of the Holy Spirit Water, the rust was peeling off and its original appearance was revealed. The curse and impurities on the sword were also being cleansed by the Holy Spirit Water. Slowly, it revealed its sharpness.
This sword was made from the legendary Purple Immortal Gold. It wasn't hard to imagine how powerful it would be once it recovers!
