"The Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment is gentle and can help a living being understand the Dao."
The information provided by the Essence of Herbalism flashed across his brain. The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. It really was this item.
The reason why he was strolling in this bamboo forest was for two reasons. One, he wanted to admire the scenery here. Two, he felt something similar to the Petal of Enlightenment.
The crystal-like bamboo leaf before his eyes proved that his intuition was correct.
The Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment had the same effect as the Petal of Enlightenment. Its value was similar as well. It was a valuable spiritual medicine.
"This is …"
Looking at the green bamboo leaf in Ling Xian's hand, Lu Chao Xian frowned and asked in an uncertain tone, "Could it be … this is the Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment?"
"That's right." Ling Xian nodded with a smile.
"It really is!" Lu Chao Xian's eyes flashed with shock. He didn't think he would run into such a heavenly treasure.
Fang Yun was also shocked. Looking at the handsome young man before him, he said with envy, "Brother, you are not the Son of God are you? To be able to find the Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment while taking a walk, your luck is far too good."
"The Son of God?"
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. Remembering the four inhibition spells inside his body, he thought to himself, What kind of Son of God am I? More like an enemy of God.
"Just taking a walk and I found the Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment. I am so jealous." Fang Yun's face was full of envy. His eyes flashed with desire.
However, he knew very well that such a valuable spiritual medicine was found by Ling Xian alone. There was no way he could get his hands on it.
Lu Chao Xian was the same. Though he really wanted it, he suppressed the urge in his heart. He tried his best to look elsewhere and not look at the crystal-clear bamboo leaf.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself.
After all, anything that could assist living beings in comprehending the Dao could be said to be priceless. Even with his and Fang Yun's backgrounds, they had no right to own such a treasure.
"You really want it?"
Seeing the desire in Lu Chao Xian's and Fang Yun's eyes, Ling Xian grinned. Then, before their shocked gazes, he split the Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment in half, "Each of you, take it."
Then, he waved his hand and the halves of the Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment flew into their hands.
"This …"
Lu Chao Xian was in awe. He gulped and rejected, "Ling Xian, this item is far too valuable. I cannot accept it."
"Take it. This item is not very useful to me." Ling Xian's expression was calm. He didn't think much of the Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment.
Lu Chao Xian shook his head and said in a low voice, "Ling Xian, there is no need to lie. This item can help people understand the Dao. It is very useful to any cultivator. Why would it be useless to you?"
"I know you said that out of goodwill because you wanted me to accept the Dao Comprehension Bamboo Leaf. But I, Lu Chao Xian, already owe you a favor. I cannot accept this. Please take it back. "Lu Chao Xian's face was full of gratitude. Holding onto the bamboo leaf, he respectfully handed it over.
Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile. Though the Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment was valuable, it was worth an entire city. However, it was of no use to him. Of course, this statement was not accurate. To be precise, he did not care at all.
Don't forget, Ling Xian had the Purple Dwarf, which meant he had an endless supply of Petals of Enlightenment. Why would he care about a Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment?
"Take it. This item is really nothing to me." Ling Xian brandished his hand.
Lu Chao Xian's expression was firm as he said in a low voice, "No. If it was anything else, I would accept it. But this item is far too valuable. I cannot accept it."
"Yeah, brother, you are already at the peak of the foundational level. When you break through to the completion level, you can use this to understand the Dao." Fang Yun appeared reluctant. But he gritted his teeth and handed over the bamboo leaf to Ling Xian.
"You guys …"
Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was too lazy to explain.
He flapped around his sleeve. Instantly, hundreds of purple petals floated in midair. Dancing with the bamboo leaf, they exuded a mysterious atmosphere.
The petals danced in the air and intertwined with the bamboo leaf. It was an intoxicating scene. The mysterious rhythm made everyone feel refreshed. It was as if they could ascend to immortality in the next moment.
"This is …"
Lu Chao Xian and Fang Yun were stunned.
The two of them stared at the hundreds of petals in the sky. Their faces were full of disbelief.
Without a doubt, to have so many Petals of Enlightenment appear at the same time, the impact would be unimaginable. Even an original leveled cultivator would be stunned for a long time, let alone the two of them!
What could they do? The Petals of Enlightenment were far too valuable. Plus, there were hundreds of them. It was hard not to be shocked!
"Oh my god, so many Petals of Enlightenment. Am I seeing things?" Fang Yun rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Lu Chao Xian was the same. Staring at the purple petals in midair, he said in a trembling voice, "Unbelievable. So many Petals of Enlightenment. I'm afraid even my father has never seen this before."
The two of them were dumbfounded. Only after a long while did they manage to suppress the shock in their chests.
"Phew … Ling Xian, where did you come from? So many Petals of Enlightenment … even the top forces cannot produce so many. "Lu Chao Xian exhaled a mouthful of murky air, as if he was trying to exhale all the shock in his chest.
"Brother, don't tell me your home specializes in growing Petals of Enlightenment." Fang Yun's voice was shaking, his saliva was about to drip out.
"You don't need to worry about that." Ling Xian grinned, "Now, can you accept the Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment?"
"Of course I can. I have to." Fang Yun nodded and chuckled, "Wouldn't it be a shame to leave such a rich man like you alone?"
"I will accept it as well." Lu Chao Xian bitterly smiled, "Now I know you weren't lying. You really don't need the Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment."
"I told you a long time ago. You just didn't believe me and forced me to reveal my wealth." Ling Xian flapped around his sleeve and stored the petals into his storage pouch.
"Hehe, if you had shown us the Petals of Enlightenment earlier, we would've accepted them a long time ago." Fang Yun chuckled and continued, "Brother, brother, I will follow you from now on."
"Stop, I never said I would accept you as my follower. Shut up." Ling Xian waved his hand. Back when they were climbing the 3,000 steps, he already knew one thing. Once Fang Yun smiled and called him brother, it meant he was about to suck up to Ling Xian.
Therefore, he quickly signaled for Fang Yun to stop.
"Hehe, brother, I didn't say anything else." Fang Yun chuckled.
Ling Xian glared at Fang Yun, "It's to prevent you from saying anything else. So shut up."
"Eh …"
Fang Yun paused and mumbled, "It's rare to find someone who doesn't like to listen to flattery."
"You … get the f * ck out of my way," Ling Xian scolded.
"Psh, I'll get the f * ck out of my way." Fang Yun muttered, then walked to the side, looking at the green bamboo leaf in his hand, from time to time a silly smile appeared on his face.
"Ling Xian, I owe you another favor." Lu Chao Xian's expression was serious. He didn't say anything about repaying Ling Xian in the future, but he had made up his mind.
If Ling Xian is in trouble in the future, he will stand up for him even if he has to sacrifice his life.
"You are being too polite. Everyone who saw it has a share. It's nothing." Ling Xian smiled.
"But without you, Fang Yun and I wouldn't have discovered it. It's all because of you." Lu Chao Xian bitterly chuckled. The more time he spent with Ling Xian, the more he doubted whether or not he deserved the title of Heaven's Favorite.
"I just happened to sense an aura similar to that of the Petal of Enlightenment."
Ling Xian brandished his hand and glanced at Fang Yun, who was still grinning, "Let's go. This is merely a normal bamboo forest, yet it contains such a rare medicine. I am getting more and more excited about the Palace of Fortune."
Then, he strode forward.
Fang Yun and Lu Chao Xian followed closely behind.
This time, the two of them didn't show any signs of annoyance or complain.
They had already determined that as long as they follow Ling Xian, even if they just stroll around and enjoy the scenery, they will find fortunes that come knocking on their door.
The Bamboo Leaf of Enlightenment was a good proof.
Just like that, Ling Xian and the two of them continued their journey. Just like before, they were at ease, aimless, and simply enjoying the scenery of the Palace of Fortune.
This leisurely lifestyle lasted for 10 days.
During this time, a lot of news came. For example, a cultivator found a technique left behind by the ancestors. Or another cultivator found a spiritual medicine.
To sum it up, many cultivators who entered the Palace of Fortune gained something.
Ling Xian and the two of them were the same. Though they didn't purposely go looking for fortunes, every time Ling Xian went to a place, he would find something unexpected.
This made Fang Yun and Lu Chao Xian ecstatic. They were even more determined to follow Ling Xian.
Using Fang Yun's words, "Follow me, and you will have everything!"
The "brother" here was naturally referring to Ling Xian.
However, whether it was what others got or what Ling Xian got, they weren't too valuable.
After all, only the treasures in the seven manors and three gardens could be considered treasures!
Sadly, these 10 miraculous places never opened. Not even a rumor was made.
This made Ling Xian very disappointed.
However, on this day, a loud rumble shook the earth and startled all the cultivators inside the Palace of Fortune.
Then, a medicinal garden surrounded by murky air rose from the ground. It emitted five different colored light that engulfed the entire Palace of Fortune.
The dazzling divine light projected the mysterious herb garden's silhouette into the sky, creating a colorful scene that was illusory and dreamy.
It was one of the three gardens, the Medicinal Garden of Immortality!
It was a mysterious place that was known to contain countless spiritual medicines and even a Medicine of Immortality!
Instantly, all the cultivators inside the Palace stopped what they were doing and dashed towards the medicinal garden like crazy.
"So it finally appeared …"
Looking at the rainbow like dreamy scenery in the sky, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, revealing a faint smile.
Then, a trace of anticipation climbed up his delicate face.
