AST 1762 - Sacred Moon Stallion, Her Name Was Sheng Jun (1/2)
Her question was straightforward and surprised Qing Shui. Still, it was faster this way. He regained his composure and replied, “I need the Sacred Mudra Flower to save a life.”
The woman frowned after listening to Qing Shui, she continued softly, “How much do you know about the Sacred Mudra Flower ?”
Qing Shui answered after taking a second to think, “The Sacred Mudra Flower is the divine-grade medicinal herb. It can heal some irreversible injuries but it cannot ensure a full recovery.”
Qing Shui didn’t say much. Although the medicinal herbs in Main Continents were magical, some revival medicinal herbs could only keep one’s life without healing the injuries. For example, even some divine-grade revival medicinal herbs could only let Luo Qingcheng’s live longer as an ordinary person.
For this reason, ingredients like the Sacred Mudra Flower became divine-grade medicinal herbs. Furthermore, they were by no means less valuable than some revival medicine.
“Since you already knew that, you should know that this kind of item is extremely scarce.” Said the woman to Qing Shui while staring at him.
In Qing Shui’s mind, he couldn’t figure out how this woman could hold such a calm conversation with him, even after knowing that he arbitrarily took the Sacred Earth Demonic Fruit from the Sacred Ocean Sound Cave.”
“The Sacred Ocean Sound Cave is the backyard of the Sacred Mountain. After all these years, I reckoned that your Majesty would have it. Of course, we wouldn’t take it without giving anything in return. We’d like to offer an item of similar or even greater value than the Sacred Mudra Flower. What do you think?” Qing Shui looked straight into her clear, majestic and beautiful eyes seriously.
“You came at the wrong time. We don’t have an existing stock of such medicinal herbs in Sacred Mountain for its short shelf life. The maximum shelf life is ten years. It is usually used at its most effective upon collection since the effect will decrease, or even deplete along with its storage time. Moreover, if it is left to grow, it will wilt over the years, following nutritional deficiency from the air and earth.”
The woman said calmly. Qing Shui also knew this well. That was also the reason why the Sacred Mudra Flower was absolutely precious. It had only ten years of storage time after its collection. Ten years was not a brief period.
Thus, Qing Shui knew she did not lie. Even the great sects couldn’t preserve such medicinal herbs unless there was a special way to extend the storage time.
As Qing Shui was immersed in his thoughts, the woman continued, “I know there’s still one somewhere. It should be time for collection now. However, there’s a powerful beast guarding it. A very deadly beast.”
“Danger doesn’t matter. I wish your Majesty can tell me its location. I would repay in great amount.” Qing Shui replied hastily.
“At the deepest area of the Sacred Ocean Sound Cave, the one guarding the Sacred Mudra Flower is a matured Sacred Moon Stallion. The Sacred Moon Stallion was really dreadful. I couldn’t find the necessity to fight for a medicinal herb which was not applicable at that time and could only be stored for ten years.” The woman provided the information.
“I’ll visit you again when I’m back. I’m determined to obtain this Sacred Mudra Flower.” Qing Shui was pleased that there was hope within his sight.
“In the legend, the Sacred Moon Stallion mutated from the Dragon Horse. Instead of the ordinary Dragon Horse, they were stronger than many of the actual Dragons. They formed the Sacred Moon Stallions after absorbing the essence of Moon. They were the rides of the Ancient Sacred Fairies.”
The woman spoke gently without regards to Qing Shui’s words.
A sudden thought came to Qing Shui as he spoke to the Mistress, “You are the Sacred Fairy Inheritor! This Sacred Moon Stallion must be more precious than the Sacred Mudra Flower itself.”
The woman’s eyes suddenly became full of light. That lustrous moment and her sense of sacred purity made Qing Shui's heart skip a beat. He shook his head. Beauty was a woman’s most powerful weapon.
“The Battle God Inheritor!” the woman’s lips curled upwards.
