Chapter 2174
by“Everyone is too flattering to me. I just happen to know something about it.” Lan Xun responded modestly, without the slightest pride or complacency after being flattered. Her tone was neither fast nor slow. Having said this, her beautiful eyes were fixed on the Supreme Wonderful Treasure Lotus, and her expression was solemn. She said in a deep voice, “This spirit medicine is… the Supreme Wonderful Treasure Lotus！”
Upon hearing this, Yang Kai raised his brows and couldn’t help but secretly praise that Lan Xun really had an extraordinary background and had seen a lot.
If it weren’t for the jade slip he obtained from Gong Sunmu, he wouldn’t have been able to recognize the Tai Miao Treasure Lotus either. Under the heavens, there aren’t many people who can recognize this kind of spiritual herb and know its uses.
“Sure enough！” Zhuang Bufan gently nodded beside him. It seemed that before this, he had also guessed this way, but wasn’t sure. Now that he heard Lan Xun’s words, he immediately knew that his previous guess was correct.
Among the onlookers, after hearing the words Tai Miao Treasure Lotus, most people still had a blank expression on their faces and didn’t have much change in their expressions. Only a few of them had a solemn expression on their faces, obviously knowing something.
“Princess, what is the Tai Miao Treasure Lotus? Can it be eaten?” Xia Sheng suddenly asked with a playful smile.
“You idiot！” Beside him, Xiao Baiyi supported his forehead and shook his head, looking like he was ashamed to be with Xia Sheng. He muttered in his mouth, “If you don’t know anything, don’t speak. The face of the Divine Palace has been completely lost by you.”
Murong Xiaoxiao also blushed beside him and nodded vigorously, looking at Xia Sheng with a disgusted look.
The performance of Xia Sheng, the eldest senior brother of the Divine Palace, really made the two of them feel extremely embarrassed.
“Do you know, Xiao Bai？” Xia Sheng immediately turned his head and looked at Xiao Baiyi. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said, “That’s right. Among the Divine Palace, only you have read a lot of books. Maybe you really know something. Quickly tell me, what are the… magical uses of this Tai Miao Treasure Lotus？”
With a sullen face, Xiao Baiyi glared at him and took a deep breath to calm his mood. Then he slowly said, “The Taomiao Precious Lotus is born in response to the luck of heaven and earth and formed by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. It is a peerless treasure. It is an excellent medicine. Its growth environment and conditions cannot be inferred, and the places where it appears are also very strange. Any place in this world, whether there is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or not, may have its figure. However… the Taomiao Precious Lotus is unique in the world. Under the premise that there is one Taomiao Precious Lotus in the world, it is impossible for a second one to appear…”
Hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn’t help whistling and said in surprise, “This is really extremely precious…”
Xiao Baiyi ignored him and continued, “And its effect, for warriors like us, is no less than a great blessing – it can increase the probability of us advancing to the Emperor Venerable Realm. And it is an absolute increase！ In other words, if people like you, or Wu Chang, or Brother Zhuang take this Taomiao Precious Lotus, within five years, you will surely achieve the status of Emperor！ If it were me… it might take ten years or more！”
“And what about me！” Xiao Chen was ignored by Xiao Baiyi and immediately shouted with an unhappy face.
Xia Sheng grinned and said, “Even without this thing, I can still advance to the Emperor Venerable Realm. So it seems that it’s not too precious！”
“What do you know.” Xiao Baiyi coldly glanced at him. “Throughout the ages. Countless geniuses like you think that promoting to the Emperor Venerable Realm is effortless. But in the end, aren’t they still stuck in front of that final checkpoint. Unable to advance even an inch for a lifetime！ In this world, no one dares to claim that they can absolutely promote to the Emperor Venerable Realm. Those who dare to think so often end in failure. Instead, there are some guys whose qualifications are not the best, but their hearts are firm and they succeed in reaching the Emperor Realm… The Taimiao Treasure Lotus is a kind of guarantee. A guarantee for promoting to the Emperor Venerable Realm！”
After being said by Xiao Baiyi like this, Xia Sheng also didn’t say a word and stood there frowning and thinking.
On the contrary, those onlookers, after hearing Xiao Baiyi’s explanation, all showed eager expressions. Looking at the Taimiao Treasure Lotus, what they saw was not just an elixir, but a broad road leading to the palace of the Emperor Venerable Realm.
The martial artists who entered the Four Seasons Land are all at the Dao Source Realm, and there are those at the third level. These martial artists are only one step or a few steps away from the Emperor Youdaoplaceholder0 Realm. Now that there is such a great opportunity in the front of them, how can they not be tempted?
If it weren’t for the strong people of those top sects sitting here, I’m afraid someone would have been unable to hold back and make a move to snatch it. At that time, on the top of this high mountain, there would surely be a bloody storm and a flash of swords and shadows！
In the face of such a spiritual herb, I’m afraid no one will remain rational. Once people go berserk with bloodlust, even if their fellow disciples stand in front of them, they will still fight their way out！
“I already understand the preciousness and uses of the Taimiao Treasure Lotus, but… what does this have to do with Her Highness the Princess obstructing me from picking the herb just now？” Wuchang suddenly said coldly. It seems that he still cared very much about the matter of Lan Xun stopping him from seizing the herb just now and insisted on getting an explanation from Lan Xun.
Lan Xun smiled slightly and said, “Little White has already said a lot, so let me continue to talk next.”
On the other side, Xiao Baiyi’s mouth twitched, and he was extremely grief-stricken in his heart. He only felt that his nickname of Little White was probably impossible to erase in this lifetime. Even a person like Lan Xun had called him like this more than once. Suddenly, he showed a grief-stricken expression of being speechless and asking the sky, with tears streaming down both sides of his cheeks…
Over there, Lan Xun had already continued to speak, “Although the Taimiao Treasure Lotus is extremely precious, it is after all just a spiritual herb and is inherently fragile. And when it is not mature its medicinal properties are naturally not full. If Brother Wuchang had rashly picked it just now, its medicinal properties would definitely be greatly damaged, and then it would not have that effect. I think Brother Wuchang also doesn’t want to see that kind of situation happen, right?
The last sentence, she asked with a smile while looking at Wuchang.
Upon hearing this, Wu Chang let out a cold snort and said, “Since Her Highness the Princess has said so, then I might as well wait a little longer… However, I don’t know exactly how long it will take for this Taimiao Treasure Lotus to fully mature？”
Lan Xun was silent for a while, observed the Taimiao Treasure Lotus for a moment, and said, “About a day or so！”
“Just in time before the exit closes…” Wu Chang muttered to himself, and then shouted, “Alright, then I’ll wait until that time. Before that, if anyone dares to have ideas about this Taimiao Treasure Lotus, don’t blame me for being merciless！”
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked around, and the two red and white pupils emitted a strange light, making people shudder.
Hearing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief…
Although Wu Chang had the posture of taking over the Taimiao Treasure Lotus completely, in this way, there would definitely be no more waves before the panacea matured. When the panacea matured it would be up to everyone’s means to fight for it.
“Little sister also wants to ask everyone to wait for a while and make plans after this Taimiao Treasure Lotus matures.” Lan Xun said seriously, “But to be honest… after the Taimiao Treasure Lotus matures, if it is not taken or refined into a pill within three hours, its medicinal effect will be completely lost！”
“There is such a thing？” Wu Chang frowned.
After all, the Taimiao Treasure Lotus is an amazing thing with amazing effects. Naturally the laws of heaven and earth will produce some shackles to restrain it! Lan Xun smiled slightly.
“Then it’s simple. When it matures, just eat it directly！” Xia Sheng grinned and said.
Xiao Baiyi turned his head and looked at him coldly, saying, “Why do you only know about eating today？”
Xia Sheng hehe, scratching his cheek.
Lan Xun suddenly sighed again and said, “If possible, it would be best to refine it into Taimiao Pill. There is only one such spiritual herb. When the time comes for the scramble, the sword and saber have no eyes, and fists and feet are ruthless…”
After all, she is the daughter of the Bright Moon Great Emperor. In many cases, when considering things, she does not start from herself but from the interests of the entire Southern Region. Just as she only took away the pseudo-emperor treasure in the Time Temple, at this moment, although she is delighted that a Taimiao Treasure Lotus has appeared in this Four Seasons Land, she also shows sufficient worry about the possible scramble battle that may occur next.
The people present are all the elites in the Dao Origin Realm of the Southern Region. If they suffer heavy casualties because of scrambling for a spiritual herb, it will definitely be a loss for the Southern Region…
“The princess is joking. To refine such a heaven and earth spiritual herb into a pill, I’m afraid only an emperor-level alchemist can do it！ According to what the princess said, this spiritual herb must be taken or refined into a pill within three hours after it matures. In this little time, where can we find an emperor-level alchemist？” Wu Chang snorted coldly.
Lan Xun shook her head and said, “It doesn’t necessarily require an Emperor-level alchemist. A Dao Source-level one will do… However, all of us here are focused on martial arts. Where would we have the time to study alchemy？ Dao Source-level alchemists aren’t so easy to find either…”
She shook her head and smiled bitterly, secretly feeling a headache. She felt that the current crisis couldn’t be resolved, and also that they had missed an extremely great opportunity. There was only one such spiritual herb. If it was taken directly, only one person could benefit from it. But if it was refined into a pill, the situation would be different.
Just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, “If Her Highness the Princess trusts me, how about letting me give it a try！”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions froze, and they turned their heads to look in the direction of the voice.
Lan Xun also hurriedly looked over. After seeing clearly who the speaker was, an odd expression couldn’t help but appear on her face, and she murmured, “Brother Yang…”
“You？” Xiao Chen also sized up Yang Kai with an extremely wonderful expression. After a moment, he couldn’t help but sneer and said, “Do you know what you’re talking about？ Didn’t you hear clearly what Her Highness the Princess just said？”
“Naturally, I heard clearly.” Yang Kai smiled faintly. Even under the gaze of everyone, he still had a calm and composed expression, as if nothing could faze him.
Zhuang Bufan, who was sitting cross-legged over there recuperating, was also looking at Yang Kai at this moment, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Xia Sheng suddenly reached out and tugged at the corner of Yang Kai’s clothes, whispering, “Brother Yang, I don’t think this is a good idea… If you really want to monopolize that Taomiao Lotus, it’s better to think of another way. Pretending to be a Source Stage alchemist or something will be exposed soon…”
He clearly thought that Yang Kai had some ulterior motives for saying this, so he quietly persuaded him, lest he lose face and become the target of public criticism. If that really happened, I’m afraid no one could save him.
