"As a reward, I'll give this to you, brother." The honest-looking young man from Moonless City, Pika, flipped his palm and took out something from the animal skin pouch at his waist. He held it in front of Ye Kong.
"This is …" Ye Kong did not take it. Instead, he looked curiously at the thing in Pika's big hand.
It was a plant. To be precise, it was a small flower! The shape of the flower was very strange. The flower was purplish red and had three petals. Each petal was like a fan, with a small center and a large periphery. The three petals formed a shape that was neither round nor square.
On the purplish red petals, there was a pattern. The pattern was even more strange. The top two petals each had a black dot, and the bottom one had a black line.
From afar, the pattern combined with the shape of the petals made it look like a skull. The strangest thing was that the skull seemed to be laughing sinisterly.
"A flower that looks like a skull? What is this? "Ye Kong blinked and asked.
"This is a plant from hell, a ghost-faced flower." Pika said, "Don't think that the most dangerous place in the Underworld is hell. In fact, hell is a good place. In addition to the dangers, it is also a huge treasure trove! There are all kinds of rare plants growing here, which are of great use to the cultivation of us Yakshas. It is said that this Dead Water Hell used to be lush and green. "
"Then why is it like this now?" Ye Kong looked back at the barren black soil world.
Pika sighed. "Too many people have come here. In the hundreds of millions of years of the Underworld, countless people have come here to dig for treasures. After a long time, the treasures have naturally been ruined. So it is difficult to find even a blade of grass now."
"It seems that the price of not paying attention to environmental protection is still very high." Ye Kong sighed and asked, "So this ghost-faced flower was picked by you? What is its use? "
"I was also lucky. I found this ghost-faced flower in a remote corner on the first floor. Someone from the Water Mist tribe also found it and wanted to snatch it from me, but I killed him. But before he died, he informed his tribe mates, so I was stopped. "Pika briefly explained the situation at that time. Then, he talked about the function of the ghost-faced flower.
"The most special aspect of my Netherworld is the soul, and the plants of my world are also very beneficial in this aspect! This Ghost-faced Flower was also very beneficial to the soul! Its greatest function is to open up the barrier of the Violet Palace and increase the activity of the Primordial Spirit! "
"Does that mean the primordial spirit can move freely within the body?" Ye Kong's eyes narrowed, and the way he looked at the Ghost-faced Flower changed.
After all, a person's Soul Core was restricted within the violet palace and couldn't easily leave. In the Lower Realm, the rules were more flexible, but in the Immortal Realm, the restrictions were even more rigid. Dharma spells such as out-of-body projection and possession were all prohibited by the rules. That was why the head was the most important part of an Immortal. Most Immortals could heal other parts of their bodies, including their Sea of Qi. Only their cultivation would be affected.
The only thing that couldn't be cured was his head. If the immortal's head exploded, only death awaited them. Because the primordial spirit was inside!
However, things were different with the Ghost-faced Flower! Your primordial spirit could move freely within your body! You could clamp your primordial spirit in your crotch, in your stomach, or even in your toes … Now you're amazing. Even if your head was destroyed, you'd still be fine! Even if your head was chopped off, you'd still be able to grow back!
Most importantly, no one knew you were still alive! This was a life-saving item!
"Then can Immortals also use this?" Ye Kong originally saved Pika because he had warned him that someone was blocking the door.
Although Pika's warning was useless, Ye Kong felt that he was a good person, so he saved him. He didn't think about the treasure. However, after hearing Pika's words, Ye Kong became interested.
"Of course it's useful!" Pika nodded. "We Yakshas die easily in Hell, but it's not so easy to die in the Netherworld outside of Hell … So in comparison, you Immortals need the Ghost-faced Flower more than Yakshas!"
"Then it would be impolite of me to refuse." Ye Kong didn't act pretentious and directly took the Ghost-faced Flower.
Pika smiled awkwardly, but he was still reluctant. Even when Ye Kong asked him if it was useful to Immortals, he wanted to lie … But in the end, he still told the truth.
But then he heard Ye Kong say, "Actually, Ye didn't save you because I coveted the treasure. But this treasure is useful to me, so I'll accept it … But it's not a gift from you. Just treat it as a transaction … "
With that, Ye Kong raised his hand, and an item appeared in his hand. He said, "I took the Ghost-faced Flower, so I'll give this to you. Although I don't know the prices in the Netherworld, I think it should be enough."
Seeing the item in Ye Kong's hand, Pika's eyes widened, and his breathing became rough. He hurriedly said, "Enough, it's more than enough! This-this-this is a Netherworld Ginseng. Look at its size … It's been formed for millions of years! Good stuff! "
Ye Kong took the smallest of the few Netherworld Ginseng he got from Dark King Hao Tian. He didn't expect Pika to be so shocked.
Pika's eyes were wild with joy. "Netherworld Ginseng is only produced below the 90th level of Hell, and it's extremely rare. Also, this thing can move! Without great opportunities, you won't even see one in ten thousand years! This kind of million-year-old ginseng is even rarer! It's only found below the 95th level! "
The Ghost-faced Flower was only a plant above the 60th level, while the Netherworld Ginseng was below the 95th level. It was obvious which of the two was more precious. Ye Kong faintly felt that he had suffered a great loss, but since he took it out, he could only reluctantly hand it over to Pika.
However, Pika was also an interesting person. He said, "I feel bad for taking your Netherworld Ginseng. I have an ancestral Qi Observation Technique here. It's good for treasure hunting. That's how I found the Ghost-faced Flower. I'll give it to you, Brother!"
"I'm here to fight for first place, not to hunt for treasure." Ye Kong smiled, but he still took the jade card and put it in his storage ring. He said, "I can't delay for too long. Brother Pika, let's bid farewell here."
Pika cupped his fists and said, "Take care." Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and shouted to Ye Kong's back, "I heard that several tribes have already informed their old demons who have been cultivating in the depths of Hell for a long time to intercept you. Be careful!"
"Got it." Ye Kong transformed into a streak of green light and disappeared from the small road that was like a field stem.
Not long after, in the square of Moonless City.
As the selection was about to end, the audience in the square began to increase again. It was the last few days, and everyone wanted to see the results. It felt like there were more people than on the first day of the selection.
And those Yakshas finally began to take Ye Kong, the human male seriously.
"Ye Kong's ranking jumped again! It jumped again! "
"On the 25th day of the selection, he only entered the top 1000 in the morning, and in the afternoon, he reached 573. What will his ranking be at night and tomorrow?"
"So he didn't show his prowess before because he wanted to amaze the world with a brilliant feat and catch up!"
"Don't worry, he will never surpass Liao Yi! There are still four and a half days, unless a miracle happens … "
