As the dark green tree bark fell off, what appeared in Xiao Yan's and Jin Yao's eyes was a brand new face that was as green as a tender sprout.
The green branches were filled with life at a glance. In particular, the new sprouts that had sprouted from the branches made the Thousand Fan Tree glow with life.
If the Thousand Fan Tree from before was an old man in his twilight years, then the one that had appeared before Xiao Yan and Jin Yao was a robust young man in his prime.
The entire Thousand Fan Tree exuded a surging life force. The two of them felt the air around them become fresher, and the fragrance of grass wafted through the air, gradually filling the entire room.
On the Thousand Fan Tree, green sprouts that were the size of chopsticks swiftly grew. Moreover, they rapidly became thick and solid at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. In a short moment, they had already grown to the size of a person's pinky finger. On top of them, a fan-shaped leaf that was the size of a person's thumb had also grown.
All of this was due to Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flame, the Life Spirit Flames.
It was because of the Life Spirit Flames that the Thousand Fan Tree could revive and grow so quickly. It had taken close to a year to do so.
At this moment, Xiao Yan and Jin Yao's hearts were filled with joy. After a period of unbearable emotional turmoil, they had finally seen the outcome that they wanted to see.
However, the Thousand Fan Tree, which was swiftly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, once again came to a stop while Xiao Yan's duo were rejoicing in their hearts. The speed at which the leaves were spreading swiftly slowed until they came to a complete stop.
The two of them could not help but be slightly stunned when they saw this. Soon after, Xiao Yan hurriedly returned to his senses. With a wave of his hand, the jade-green Heavenly Flame immediately surged out of the Thousand Fan Tree, burning fiercely once again.
Without the Life Spirit Flames, even though the Thousand Fan Tree had been revived, it was far too unrealistic for it to grow at the same speed as before. Hence, Xiao Yan could only helplessly summon the Life Spirit Flames again and use the Heavenly Flame to stimulate the growth of the Thousand Fan Tree.
Seeing the leaves of the Thousand Fan Tree slowly wriggle under the heat of the Heavenly Flames, Jin Yao couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. She patted her chest with her jade-like hand before turning around and bowing slightly. Her red lips pursed into a gentle smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Yan!"
"Owner Jin, you are too kind. The Thousand Fan Tree can be considered a mysterious tree. Although I have heard of it, I have never seen the real thing. Today, I am fortunate enough to see it. If I can save it, I will do my best."
Xiao Yan did not dare to slight her when he heard this. He was really unable to endure being treated in such a manner by an elite Dou Di.
"Ha ha, no matter what, I still have to thank Mr. Xiao Yan for saving the Thousand Fan Tree. Of course, I will definitely not go back on what I said earlier. Today, as long as Mr. Xiao Yan takes a fancy to something in my Thousand Medicinal House, you can take three of them!"
Jin Yao smiled. She naturally half-believed Xiao Yan's words. After all, with the promise she had made, Xiao Yan would naturally do his best. Of course, she did not doubt the position of her Thousand Fan Tree in Xiao Yan's heart.
The value of the Thousand Fan Tree was enough to cause an Origin Transformation expert to be moved. As a Ban Di and an alchemist, how could Xiao Yan's heart not be moved?
Xiao Yan immediately let out a long sigh of relief when he heard Jin Yao's words. He had said so much, but the words he wanted to hear the most were from the woman in front of him.
"Ha ha, thank you very much, Owner Jin!"
Xiao Yan immediately laughed as he cupped his hands toward Jin Yao.
At the same time, a fiery hot expression gradually surfaced in Xiao Yan's eyes.
However, just as Jin Yao was about to lead Xiao Yan into the other room, the Heavenly Flame on the Thousand Fan Tree was extinguished once again. At the same time, the growing Thousand Fan Tree stopped once again.
"Ugh …"
The expressions on Xiao Yan's and Jin Yao's faces were involuntarily startled when they saw this scene. Immediately, the two of them exchanged glances with each other and quickly knit their brows together.
Everyone knew that the Thousand Fan Tree grew very slowly. Its leaves were extremely valuable medicinal ingredients, but only those that were over a hundred years old could be used. The Thousand Fan Tree produced leaves extremely slowly. It would only produce a single leaf every ten years, so the leaf could only be used after a hundred years of growth.
Now, she finally had the Life Spirit Flame to catalyze it. However, the scene that appeared in front of Xiao Yan and Jin Yao involuntarily caused Jin Yao to feel a sense of pity in her heart.
If she had the Life Spirit Flames to nurture it over a long period of time, she believed that she would be able to obtain at least ten hundred year old leaves in less than a month. However, without the Heavenly Flame, the Thousand Fan Tree would have to return to its normal growth speed.
Jin Yao sighed softly in her heart. It was a long while later before she once again lifted her pretty eyes and looked at Xiao Yan. Her long and narrow eyes that were filled with charm revealed a sigh. Her red lips were slightly pursed. In the next moment, a soft voice that caused one's entire body to feel numb was slowly spat out from Jin Yao's small cherry mouth.
"Mister Xiao Yan …"
Hearing this soft voice that was even more frightening than a female ghost, Xiao Yan could not help but shiver. He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He was really unable to accept being addressed in such a manner by an elite Dou Di.
Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly. The corner of his mouth twitched as he awkwardly asked.
"District Owner Jin, is there anything else?"
Seeing Xiao Yan's flattered manner, the expression on Jin Yao's pretty face could not help but be slightly startled. She immediately withdrew it and once again smiled at Xiao Yan.
"Mister Xiao Yan, you should also know that the growth of the Thousand Fan Tree's leaves requires an extremely long period of time. That kind of almost unlimited time is not something that we humans can compare with. Therefore, I hope that I can …"
"Don't tell me that District Owner Jin wants to borrow my Heavenly Flame?"
Before Jin Yao finished speaking, Xiao Yan could not help but raise his eyebrows and ask in a frivolous manner.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Jin Yao could not help but smile awkwardly. She immediately knit her eyebrows and clenched her silver teeth. She once again faced Xiao Yan and said,
"I have no choice but to do this. The growth of the Thousand Fan Leaves is really too slow. If Mister Xiao Yan can lend the Life Spirit Flame to me, I am willing to give you one-fifth of the Thousand Fan Leaves on the Thousand Fan Tree."
Xiao Yan's eyes hardened. He did not expect that Jin Yao would actually go to such an extent for the Thousand Fan Tree.
Soon after, Jin Yao once again opened her mouth and said,
"At the same time, I will also owe Mister Xiao Yan a favor … Mister Xiao Yan should be able to understand how important a favor from an elite Dou Di is."
Hearing Jin Yao's words, Xiao Yan's expression involuntarily changed. His heart also began to waver.
Currently, he and the four great sects were like fire and water. Sooner or later, they would meet. What he lacked was an elite Dou Di class expert. Even though Jin Yao could not always be by his side to protect him, if she could owe Xiao Yan a favor, it was likely that she would be of great help to Xiao Yan in the future.
No matter where she was, no one would dare to underestimate a Dou Di class expert.
After thinking for a while in his heart, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. He immediately nodded fiercely at Jin Yao in front of him and said,
"Alright!"
