Chapter 102 Demon Transformation Grass
Chapter 102 Demon Transformation Grass
Once Han Mujiao brought this up, he went on and on, wanting to recount the origin of every single magical artifact.
Yun Zhao and Qi Yan exchanged a glance, one brewing tea and the other fetching snacks, diligently serving the palm-sized Cold Wood Dragon, allowing it to float around freely.
Let them learn more about its treasures, so that they can choose their reward after completing the task of finding the spiritual plant.
So, with Yun Zhao and Qi Yan exclaiming "Wow!" and "Oh my god!" repeatedly, Han Mujiao gradually lost himself and started talking with great enthusiasm.
It wasn't until dawn that Han Mujiao reluctantly stopped talking.
Why is the sun so uncooperative? Couldn't you have risen a little later?
Jiaojiao, I haven't had enough of the flattery from those two little kids!
But when it was time for breakfast, Hanmujiao realized that it had been tricked!
After breakfast, Yun Zhao took out a small notebook, which contained a list of many spiritual artifacts she admired. Han Mujiao glanced at it.
Good heavens, they're going to empty his pockets!
but……
Fortunately, he doesn't need many kinds of spiritual plants, so he shouldn't have to suffer a huge loss... right?
“Uncle Jiao,” Yun Zhao pushed up his non-existent glasses and said seriously, “I studied with the most skilled alchemist in our sect for several years. For your condition, you’ll need at least 9981 kinds of spiritual plants, including Moon-Drinking Flower, Deer Grass, and Scattered Ghost Seed…”
As she spoke, Qi Yan took notes in a small notebook, leaving the entire Hanmu Jiao dumbfounded.
Putting everything else aside, the Moonflower is for treating baldness, the Deer Grass is for treating infertility, and the Wild Chrysanthemum... his father's is for treating kidney deficiency, right?
This dragon is not afraid at all!
"We'll trade Moonflower for a Sky-Shielding Umbrella, Deer Grass for Golden Ring Stone, and Scattered Ghost Seed for Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Marrow... Don't worry, Uncle Jiao, we won't cheat you too much."
Hanmu Jiao: "..."
The Rainbow Grass guarded by the three Crimson Blood Wolves was also a spiritual plant needed by the Cold Wood Dragon. Yun Zhao discussed it with them and exchanged some pills and drawing books for a few plants.
The Crimson Blood Wolves are illiterate; Yun Zhao read to them yesterday, but they can understand those comic book-like books.
They happily agreed to the deal, and Yun Zhao even gave the injured Crimson Blood Wolf an extra bottle of hemostatic pills.
She didn't have much else, but she had a lot of pills. When he left the Qingyun Sect, Lu Mingdao gave her almost all the pills he had refined over the years.
Tell her not to be stingy with her food, and to eat when she should.
Thinking of Lu Mingdao's instructions to her before he left, Yun Zhao felt a warmth in her heart.
The Ten Thousand Year Fire Marrow was intended for Lu Mingdao; the more powerful the alchemist's fire, the better the pills they could refine.
Lu Mingdao had a cluster of thousand-year-old fire marrow in his hand. Yun Zhao originally wanted to find a better one in the secret realm, but unexpectedly encountered the Cold Wood Dragon.
Alright, she doesn't care about the thousand-year-old Fire Marrow anymore. If she's going to use something, she'll use the ten-thousand-year-old one!
Adding to the two spiritual plants that Hanmu Jiao had taken earlier, Yun Zhao exchanged them for the three treasures she had mentioned before: Fire Marrow for Lu Mingdao and Golden Sound Stone for Hanyue Zhenren to forge a sword. She really is an ordinary little genius at balancing things!
Hanmu Jiao: "..."
You think sacrificing myself will bring happiness to millions of families?!
However, hiring the two of them to find spiritual plants for it was really efficient. I don't know if Qi Yan has a keen sense of smell or just good luck, but he always finds the right ones.
In just a few days, he had found most of the spiritual plants he needed.
The Cold Wood Dragon had already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. It coiled itself on Yun Zhao's head and said majestically, "Let's go, the last stop, the Demon Transformation Grass!"
Qi Yan paused, "You also need the Demon Transformation Grass?"
Han Mujiao tilted his head. "Also? Nephew, you want some too?"
Qi Yan nodded, and Han Mujiao was immediately in a dilemma.
"As far as I know, the Demon Transformation Grass cannot be found in one place; where there is a Demon Transformation Grass, there will be no other one within a radius of ten thousand miles, then..."
Han Mujiao tried to negotiate, saying, "How about I trade two spiritual artifacts for it?"
“No,” Yun Zhao said immediately. “Uncle Jiao, think about whether you can use something else to replace the Demon Transformation Grass, and we’ll go find it for you.”
In the original story, Qi Yan is a half-demon who cannot change his form at will. Only after eating the Demon Transformation Grass can Qi Yan change his form at will like other demons.
If its effects were limited to this, Yun Zhao wouldn't have been so resolute. Besides, the book also says that Qi Yan wouldn't eat the Demon Transformation Grass, because once his cultivation reached the Nascent Soul stage, he would be unable to make any further progress.
In the original book, Qi Yan only learned about this matter after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, and it took a great deal of effort to obtain the Demon Transformation Grass.
Now that the Demon Transformation Grass can be found so easily, Yun Zhao certainly cannot let the Cold Wood Dragon take it away.
Qi Yan asked in surprise, "Zhao Zhao, do you know about the Demon Transformation Grass?"
Yun Zhao shook his head. "I don't know, but you must have your reasons for needing it."
Qi Yan looked at Yun Zhao's serious face and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Zhao Zhao..."
Han Mujiao, who was racking his brains for a substitute: "..."
Hey, hey, hey, there's a single dragon here too!
After thinking for a long time, Han Mujiao shook his head regretfully, "No."
Yun Zhao frowned. "Then what should we do? Why don't you maintain your current cultivation level for now, and we'll figure out a way to find one for you once we leave the secret realm?"
The more she talked, the more sense it made. "Think about it," she said, "you're also an alien beast. This secret realm only allows people from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage to enter. What if you regain your previous cultivation level and get reported out of the secret realm?"
Han Mujiao hurriedly replied, "Isn't that perfect? I can go home right now."
Yun Zhao said seriously, "But you should think about the worst. What if you are teleported to some desolate place, a dangerous ancient battlefield, or a spatial turbulence? Wouldn't you be in danger?"
"Besides, the Lingxu Secret Realm is full of rare and precious treasures, as well as the mysterious Lingxu Palace inheritance. Don't you want a piece of the pie?"
Yun Zhao tempted him.
The Cold Wood Dragon has a weakness: it can't resist temptation. After Yun Zhao said that, it instantly didn't want to leave.
It loves collecting all sorts of treasures, and this Spirit Void Secret Realm is simply its paradise!
“Zhao Zhao, you’re right. Let’s give the Demon Transformation Grass to our nephew. I, as his uncle, will let him have it.”
The Cold Wood Dragon's Great Dao.
"But we have a deal: you have to take me with you on this journey, and if you find any good treasures, you have to give me half... a third."
Yun Zhao readily agreed.
Hanmu Jiao and Qi Yan were of similar cultivation levels, and she was overjoyed to have such a companion. It was only right that they share the spiritual treasures they found.
Since Qi Yan did not know the location of the Demon Transformation Grass, they set off in the direction of the Lingxu Palace ruins.
The Demon-Transforming Grass thrives in places with abundant spiritual energy, and the area near the ruins of Lingxu Palace is rich in spiritual energy due to the presence of Lingxu Palace's legacy, making the spiritual plants grow better than in other places.
With the exception of a very few who did not want to participate in the competition, all the cultivators who entered the Spirit Void Secret Realm were there for the inheritance.
Therefore, during their journey, Yun Zhao encountered several groups of cultivators traveling in the same direction as them.
