Chapter 196 - Steadily Rising (1/2)
On Ye Xiao's side, after a whole morning of viewing, he quickly identified a few types of flowers.
Using ordinary flowers would definitely not work. Ye Xiao wanted honey that had good taste and could provide a lot of spiritual energy to help him advance.
Just like when online friends met, they could not make an appointment just for the sake of an appointment. That would be too inappropriate. They had to do it for the sublimation of the soul.
He first confirmed that it was a flower called the violet orchid. That was a flower that bloomed at night. It was different from other flowers. What it absorbed was not sunlight, but moonlight, gathering the essence of heaven and earth... It sounded strange and zombie-like.
What was so good about that flower?
It bloomed at dawn, and at that time, almost the vast majority of people were in a state of rest. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was at its fullest.
Hence, the spiritual energy it condensed was extremely dense.
There were also quite a number of martial artists who would breed that kind of flower at home. It could be used as an ornamental flower and could also absorb spiritual energy.
There was another very important reason why Ye Xiao chose it. It was easy to buy as it was planted in large quantities.
Another type of flower was the blazing sunflower. The properties of the blazing sunflower and the violet orchid were exactly the opposite. The violet orchid liked the moon while it preferred the sun.
Its existence was more common. Although its effects were not as good as the violet orchid's, it could not withstand its large quantity, low price, and low maintenance.
Other than those two types of flowers, there were also the exquisite jade flower, the rock-climbing flower, and the flower king, the myriad of purple and red leaves.
They were all flowers that were extremely spiritual. Some of them even had to be auctioned off at the auction house to be used to refine some top-grade medicinal herbs!
However, Ye Xiao estimated that the last few types of flowers would not be easy to obtain.
Ye Xiao dialed the night market stall owner, Wang Dalong's number.
That guy was very resourceful in just about everything. If Ye Xiao could not find anything, it was basically no problem as long as Wang Dalong was looking for it.
"Hello, Mr. Ye, why are you suddenly calling me? Do you have any orders?"
"I want to buy a few types of flowers from you."
"Flowers? Are they for alchemy?"
"Yes."
"Alright, what kind of flowers do you want?"
Ye Xiao said the few types of flowers that he wanted, and Wang Dalong explained,
"Mr. Ye, I can easily get you the violet orchid and blazing sunflower, but the last few types aren't easy to get. They're all rare goods, and their prices are high. A single flower costs tens of thousands, or even more than a hundred thousand. It's not suitable for you to buy that kind of flower for alchemy.
"If you fail, how much will you lose?"
"Where can I buy the next few types of flowers? Buy them cheaper?"
"It's impossible to buy them cheap unless you go to the mountains to pick them yourself. If I remember correctly, you can find them in the Southwest Forest, but it's very dangerous there. There will be some extremely powerful star beasts hidden there. If you're not careful, you'll die."
"Is that so? I got it. Then collect the violet orchid and the blazing sunflower for me first. 200,000 yuan each."
Ye Xiao had previously sold several million using Ji Feng's hair in the black market. Now, he did not need to care about the money.
"Alright. I'll definitely get it for you before tonight."
"I'll wait for your good news."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiao began to plan in his heart.
First, he would try out the effects of the violet orchid and the blazing sunflower to see what kind of level they could reach.
If the honey was very good and had a great amount of spiritual energy, then he would go to the forest to look for other types of flowers.
If the honey was too bad and the spiritual energy contained in it was not good, then he would instantly get rid of Susan, wrap her in bread chaff, and make fried bees.
Ye Xiao did not know how to keep idle things that could not provide him with anything of value. Even if it was a Xiantian eighth-grade star beast, it was worthless to him.
That night, Wang Dalong prepared two types of flowers for Ye Xiao as promised, two carts of each type.
Ye Xiao paid the money and threw the flowers into the seal. He got Susan to start making honey and then went home to rest.
The next morning, he personally came to the farm to collect things and did not ask Huan Liuli to come over.
He wanted to see the results himself.
When Ye Xiao arrived, all the star beasts had already prepared the offerings for today.
Norfis' octopus tentacles, Earth Immortal Weng's ginseng beard, deer blood, deer antler, egg, turtle egg...
However, what Ye Xiao valued the most was the offerings from Susan and Mo Yu, these two eighth-grade star beasts.
Mo Yu had just finished making them and was currently fastening the buttons.
That made ye Xiao very puzzled.
Could it be that she did not need to transform back into her star beast form?
No way?
Was it that powerful?
The fresh milk was still steaming.
Ye Xiao flicked his finger and used spiritual energy to take a bit out of the bucket. The taste was very good. It was warm, slightly sweet, and very appetizing.
An extremely dense but very gentle spiritual energy spread from his stomach to Ye Xiao's four limbs.
Good heavens, it was the jackpot!
The effect of drinking it was close to that of eating a transcendent-grade medicinal pill. After drinking such a bucket, it would be worth several grandmaster-grade medicinal pills at the very least.
