Chapter 579: Acceptance
Translator:?_Tat_??Editor:?Rundi
Hong Yan Xin kneeled onto the ground and her eyes tightly locked onto Ling Xian. There was hope there, as well as desperation.
Since she was born until now, she had only ever kneeled in front of her parents. Not even to Gods, did she ever kneel. Now, however, there was no other way out for her. Ling Xian was the last straw of hope for her.
If this wasn’t the case, with her identity, there was no way she would ever kneel in front of anyone. Definitely not in front of a completion leveled cultivator.
This moved Ling Xian greatly. He didn’t think this woman would kneel in front of him.
With his abilities, he could tell that Hong Yan Xin was anything but ordinary. Don’t forget, he tried to seek out her cultivation level with his QI, yet it was useless like dragging a bull in deep mud. They couldn’t be moved even an inch.
This alone was enough to prove how this woman’s cultivation level far surpassed hers. Especially since he was now a completion leveled cultivator of the advanced stage, the answer to her background was clear. Other than those of the original level, who else could fool his Qi?
Yet at this mont, a powerhouse of the original level was kneeling in front of him and begging him. How could he not be moved?
“Miss Hong, there’s really no need for this.”
Ling Xian sighed deeply. From what she had said and how she knelt down, he could tell that Hong Yan Xin actually had no other solutions. Or else, this original leveled cultivator wouldn’t be begging like this!
This placed him between a rock and a hard place. If he help, he would have to take a great risk. If he didn’t, he felt sowhat bad.
It was just that Ling Xian was no longer the innocent and kind young man he was years ago. The person he is today had endured far too much and his personality had cooled down. Though nothing fundantal had changed, he was now thinking more for himself.
Using what was happening now for example, he was first thinking about whether or not his life was threatened. Then, he thought about what he could get out of agreeing to help. Finally, he thought about what others were feeling.
“I have no other options. Only soone with the Fla of Purity and the Essence of Herbalism can do this. In other words, you are the only one who can help .”
Hong Yan Xin was completely genuine. Since she even paid her respect, she might as well do everything she can to beg, “Please, I am begging you, as long as you help with this, I will do anything for you.”
“Honestly speaking, it’s not like it’s completely not doable,” Ling Xian said in a low voice. He believed that with the special properties of the Fla of Purity, he should be able to protect himself.
Even if it could not completely stop all the poison found in the Forest of a Thousand Poison, he should at least be able to pull away when things got bad and he wouldn’t die.
“Please, I am begging you. If you agree, you can pick any spiritual dicine you want.” Hong Yan Xin’s beautiful eyes were exuding with heavenly light. She called out silently and over a hundred different rare spiritual dicines erged in midair.
Every single one of them was emitting a ray of soft light. All of them knitted together into a sea of light that was dream-like and dizzying.
Then, these spiritual dicines began to vibrate with spiritual energy that were extrely astonishing – similar to the spiritual dicines from inside the stone room. However, there was an exception to that. There was a tri-colored lotus. The Qi it gave off was only of the third realm.
However, it garnered Ling Xian’s attention right away.
“Lotus of the Three Released Souls!” Ling Xian’s eyes flickered. He didn’t think he would encounter this dicine that he had been longing for here.
Of course, saying that he has been longing for it was an exaggeration. It was just that he had never forgotten the na of this dicine.
A long ti ago at the City of Qing, he acquired a lotus with three miraculous affects. If he could get to the Lake of the Resting Soul, he could transform the lotus into the Lotus of the Three Released Souls. This dicine had the miraculous affect of the Lake of the Resting Soul and was perfect to nourish cultivator’s souls.
Therefore, the mont he saw the Lotus of the Three Released Souls, he thought of the immortals inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals.
“This sure is a coincidence that will take no effort of mine. I cannot believe I would encounter this spiritual dicine here.”
Ling Xian silently grinned and his eyes flickered expectantly, “Now that I have the Lotus of the Three Released Souls, the four immortals will be able to wake up soon.”
As he thought about it, he seed to have made a decision to agree to Hong Yan Xin’s request. After all, he had the ability to protect himself enough to ensure he didn’t die there. So why not try it?
“Okay, I will agree to your request.”
Ling Xian softly chuckled, “However, I cannot promise that I will definitely get the item from the Forest of a Thousand Poisons. So don’t have high hopes.”
Hearing that he had accepted, Hong Yan Xin fell into a deep excitent and nodded aggressively, “I understand, I understand. It is already extrely lucky of to have you agree to try it. Why would I be greedy enough to ask you to succeed.”
“That’s good. The first request however, I have the confidence to promise you that as long as the spiritual dicine you ntioned is there, I can get it.” Ling Xian softly smiled. He was very confident about this.
“I trust you,” Hong Yan Xin’s smile widened and her expression was ecstatic.
To her, those items were as important as her life and they were things she must acquire. Therefore, despite the lack of guarantee, as long as Ling Xian agreed to try, it would an there was hope.
Therefore, how could she not be ecstatic?
What Ling Xian said next, however, made her clench her teeth helplessly.
To get what you want, you must also give. Plus, what she requested was a trade after all. It was completely reasonable and expected.
“Then let us talk about the compensation,” Ling Xian grinned and pointed at the tri-colored lotus, “I want this.”
“The Lotus of the Three Released Souls?” Hong Yan Xin followed Ling Xian’s finger and looked a little startled.
Why would he did pick this one out of the hundreds of spiritual dicine? This one did not have the highest value; on the contrary, it was the cheapest one. Therefore, she couldn’t figure out why Ling Xian would pick this spiritual dicine that was of the third realm.
“That’s right,” Ling Xian nodded with a smile. He didn’t know Hong Yan Xin would never take such a big risk for him.
Therefore, compensation was a must. He was not a saint who gave without taking.
“I have already promised that, if you accept, you can take any spiritual dicine you want.”
Hong Yan Xin hesitated, thinking that Ling Xian was rely picking one at random for purposes of just going through the process. Therefore, she bead more widely, “I have a relatively strong bank account and you do not need to save on my behalf.”
Ling Xian laughed at this, knowing that Hong Yan Xin had misunderstood. The Lotus of the Three Released Souls was not the most expensive dicine here, but it was the one he needed the most.
However, he was far too lazy to explain. Since Hong Yan Xin already offered, if he didn’t pick a few more, then he would be wasting her good intentions.
Chuckling, Ling Xian summoned his Qi and his Essence of Herbalism. He started to scan over all the spiritual dicines. Then, his eyes brightened at his new discovery.
It was a spiritual dicine with jagged edges and was completely black in color. It gave off a mysterious vibe.
The Grass of the Resting Soul.
A spiritual dicine of the first realm that could be used to heal all wounds related to the Qi. It could complent the effect of the Lotus of the Three Released Souls.
“That’s right. With this, the ti it takes for the four immortals to awaken will greatly reduce.” Ling Xian silently smiled and continued to search through the dicines with his Qi.
Slowly, he had another discovery. It was a miraculous dicine that was extrely rare.
The Flower Stem of the Waking Soul.
It was one of the miraculous dicines that could awaken the souls who sustained major trauma and were in comas. In other words, this miraculous dicine was the most suitable for the immortals inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals, who were still deeply asleep!
Therefore, the mont Ling Xian caught a glimpse of it, his gaze beca heated.
“The Flower Stem of the Waking Soul. If I got that miraculous dicine, I could even awaken the fifth immortals alongside the four others.” Ling Xian’s gaze revealed how happy he was. As happy as he was, he also exclaid how coincidences could work in this world.
If he didn’t by chance ca to the City of Dan, and by chance was attracted by this strange shop, would he have found such suitable spiritual dicines for the immortals inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals?
“The Flower Stem of the Waking Soul, the Grass of the Resting Soul, and the Lotus of the Three Released Souls. I will have them all,” Ling Xian softly chuckled. Then, he retracted his soul and stopped his investigation.
He was not a greedy person. This, with the two other spiritual dicines before, was enough shocking gains for him. Plus, out of all spiritual dicines of the sa realm, those that could heal the soul were the most valuable. Its value far surpassed the spiritual dicines of the sa realm.
Using the Flower Stem of the Waking Soul, for example, its value would equal to the value of two other miraculous dicines. Therefore, if he continued to try and take more, it would be a little unreasonable.
“All three dicines are related to the soul.”
Hong Yan Xin frowned slightly but quickly relaxed. In order to get Ling Xian to do his utter best, she was willing to give all of these spiritual dicines to him.
“Not a problem. If you have other wants, please speak of them.”
Ling Xian brandished his hand and grinned, “It is enough. Please tell the na of the spiritual dicine you are looking for.”
“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 get it to .”
“It is no wonder you went as far as kneeling in front of . You wanted this strange flower.”
Ling Xian gawked at Hong Yan Xin. The prominent and well-known na of that flower was sothing he was aware of. However, he was too lazy to look into it, “Alright, when will the gathering of the alchemists begin?”
“In two months. When it begins, you can sign up as a nomad and enter the Realm of Alchemy.” Yan Hong Xin fixated on Ling Xian with hope in her stare.
“In two months… I cannot believe I get to attend the eting again.”
Ling Xian mumbled and exclaid, “You and I are both very lucky. The gathering of the alchemists happens once every 10 years. Yet I appeared in front of you at this very mont.”
“Yes, it is God giving the last ray of hope. This is why I firmly believe that you will not disappoint .” Hong Yan Xin smiled and was extrely confident about Ling Xian.
“Nobody can promise that. The Flower of Three Lives on Opposite Shores is sothing I can get for you though. I am just not certain about the Forest of a Thousand Poison.” Ling Xian shook his head softly, “Okay, please find a place to stay. I will live here until the gathering.”
“Okay, Xiao Cui, lead him downstairs to rest,” Hong Yan Xin said softly.
Just then, Xiao Cui and her sturdy silhouette appeared before the door. She extended her right hand and said, “Please, this way.”
Ling Xian nodded before he marched forward and followed.
However, by the ti he reached the stone room’s entrance, he slowed down his footsteps. After a mont of silence, he said sothing that completely astounded Hong Yan Xin.
“There are miracles happening every day and unbelievable people are born every day. However, I do not believe that those who are dead can be brought back.”
Then, Ling Xian moved on and very quickly disappeared from the hallway.
“Those who are dead really cannot be brought back?”
Hong Yan Xin mumbled to herself, with two streams of tears rolling down her cheeks.
