Chapter 77

Entering the adjacent restroom, Yang Wudi and Gu Xuan sat together, Yang Wudi asked doubtfully: "Come on, tell me? What gift requires you, this brat, to personally bring it back?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan's smile widened; he deliberately sold a pause, saying: "How about you, old man, guess?"

Hearing this, Yang Wudi's vision went dark: "How am I supposed to guess? Who knows what you brat actually brought?"

"How about this? I'll give you a hint, student." Gu Xuan gave a slight smile and said: "This thing counts as what you've most desired in your lifetime."

Hearing this, Yang Wudi gave Gu Xuan a strange look, wondering: "What is it? My most desired thing?"

"What is it? Do I even have something I most desire?"

"Nowadays I'm quite satisfied with my life; one could say there's nothing I crave. The only thing I might crave is to get revenge on the Clear Sky Sect."

"After all, back then the Clear Sky Sect disregarded affection and directly abandoned their four single-attribute clans, leading to being hunted by the Spirit Hall. If it weren't for the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's intervention, his Po Clan, even if not exterminated, would probably have only a few survivors left."

"However, Gu Xuan certainly lacks the ability to kill anyone from the Clear Sky Sect now; never mind his strength, the Clear Sky Sect has sealed its mountains and doesn't emerge, so few can even find their whereabouts."

"But seeing Gu Xuan's inexplicable smile, Yang Wudi knew the gift he brought this time was certainly not trivial; otherwise he wouldn't have had Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong tag along as well."

"Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Yang Wudi's mind: 'What I most desire?' Having spent a lifetime refining medicines, if I had to say what I most desire, there really is one—though it's only recorded in ancient texts, truly a thing that exists only in heaven, scarce for mortals to find."

"He's searched for most of his life with not a clue; it's impossible that Gu Xuan, after just going out for over a month, found it, right?"

"But when he showed that thoughtful expression, he happened to see Gu Xuan's smile grow even wider, as if confirming his inner thought."

"As soon as that thought arose, Yang Wudi sat up straight, staring at Gu Xuan in disbelief, and asked incredulously: 'Xiao Xuan… could it be… could you really have found it?'"

"Upon hearing that, Gu Xuan merely nodded calmly, his smile undiminished."

This sight left Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong stunned, one after another—had they found him/her? Could it be that Gu Xuan's gift to Yang Wudi wasn't a heavenly-grade medicinal herb, but an illegitimate child (daughter) lost outside?

But that doesn't make sense either? Yang Wudi has been at the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect for so many years, yet I've never heard him mention having an illegitimate child (daughter) lost outside.

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong looked puzzled at the master and disciple's conversation, as various melodramatic scenes began to surface in their minds.

Only seeing Gu Xuan, to verify Yang Wudi's guess, his right-hand Soul Tool flashed with treasure light, and a brocade box appeared in his hand.

Only seeing Gu Xuan slowly open the brocade box, revealing the true appearance of the item inside. It was a pale pink large flower, leafless, stem three feet long, the flower extremely large, diameter a full foot, each petal looking as clear and translucent as crystal.

The moment this flower appeared, a faint fragrant aroma instantly filled the entire lounge, a refreshing scent that permeated every corner of the lounge, making people unable to help but feel invigorated.

Looking at this flower, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong finally realized that Gu Xuan, besides bringing back a heavenly-grade medicinal herb, seemed to have brought back nothing else.

But neither of them recognized this flower; they could only vaguely sense that it was extraordinary.

But unlike Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong's composure, Yang Wudi's gaze remained fixed on the large flower in Gu Xuan's hand inside the brocade box; only seeing him slowly rise to his feet and slowly say, "Xiao Xuan, are you really willing to give this to me?"

Yang Wudi's voice gave the feeling of trembling, an uncontrollable trembling born of excitement and joy.

Gu Xuan no longer wore a frivolous smile, but earnestly said, "Teacher, spiritual objects choose their masters; with you, it should be able to exert greater effect."

Saying this, Gu Xuan proactively handed the brocade box to Yang Wudi.

Yang Wudi carefully received the brocade box, his eyes somewhat intoxicated as he stared at the large flower inside.

Yang Wudi brought his nose to the flower and inhaled deeply; his whole body suddenly began to flail about like a madman.

"Hahaha, hahahaha, I've searched for it my whole life, never expecting to obtain it like this. Fragrant Gorgeous Heavenly-grade Herb, ah, with you, what poison would I dare not make in the future?"

"With you, there will never be another tragedy. Hahaha, great!!"

Seeing the usually steady and experienced Yang Wudi suddenly act so wildly, Gu Rong couldn't help but glance, saying, "I say, what exactly is the use of this thing? It even makes a dignified Soul Duelist like you go crazy."

Yang Wudi laughed hahaha, his face no longer showing any sternness, only uncontainable joy and excitement.

"This heavenly-grade medicinal herb is called Fragrant Gorgeous Heavenly-grade Herb. With it, I need not fear being poisoned by the herbs when concocting any medicine."

"With it, many medicines I previously dared not attempt to concoct can now be made. Moreover, its fragrance can cause many medicines to undergo variation, exerting greater efficacy."

Saying this, Yang Wudi's gaze toward Gu Xuan became somewhat different, as if he were looking at a lifesaver who had given him a second life.

"For our Po clan, this thing is a priceless treasure. I would even exchange my life for it."

Hearing this, Gu Rong perhaps still didn't take it to heart, after all he already had the Strange Fur Heaven-Reaching Chrysanthemum, but he hadn't consumed it yet, so he didn't know its true effect.

However, Ning Fengzhi is different; although he hasn't witnessed the effect of Gorgeous Turmeric Fragrance, simply the fact that it can cause the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda to evolve is enough to drive him crazy as well,

However, as the sect leader, he naturally would not show these emotions on his face.

Looking at Yang Wudi's appearance, Ning Fengzhi truly felt empathy.

However, Gu Xuan didn't give Yang Wudi much time to be excited, only hearing him continue to say, "Teacher, besides this Fragrant Gorgeous Heavenly-grade Herb, I have one more favor to ask of you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi immediately composed his expression, reluctantly covering the brocade box, and then carefully stored it inside his Soul Tool.

"You say, whether it's one matter or ten, a hundred, a thousand matters, I will handle them all for you." Yang Wudi said solemnly.

Heaven knows how significant this gift Gu Xuan gave him truly is!

"It's not as difficult as you imagine." Gu Xuan smiled wryly, saying, "This time the student went out and found a treasure land named Binghuo Liangyi Yan; there are not only countless medicinal herbs and many heavenly-grade medicinal herbs, but it is also a treasure land for cultivating medicinal materials. I hope the teacher can manage it there, making it the medicinal material supply base for our Seven Treasure Glazed Sect."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi stared blankly for a moment, took a while to come back to his senses, and then said with some doubt about life: "Ice... Ice Fire... Ice Fire Liangyi Yan?"

This information was far more shocking and astonishing to him than just obtaining the Fragrant Gorgeous Heavenly-grade Herb.

The Fragrant Gorgeous Heavenly-grade Herb is indeed of extraordinary significance to him, but the Ice Fire Liangyi Yan is one of the three great treasure basins, after all; this Fragrant Gorgeous Heavenly-grade Herb, if not unexpected, must have been nurtured within the Ice Fire Liangyi Yan, right?

At this moment, Yang Wudi even felt somewhat unreal; the thing he had searched for his whole life, Gu Xuan found it all within just over a month of going out? And he even stored it away?

What the hell kind of luck is this?!
