Chapter 53: The Moment to Witness a Miracle
This person... is he crazy? Actually wanting to burn Starlight Grass?
Tang Xueru and others' faces changed drastically.
"Senior, don't!" Tang Xueru screamed. Such precious Starlight Grass, how can it be burned? It's simply wasting heaven's gifts!
This Starlight Grass is not only the key herb for the second stage trial, but also a wood-attribute spirit grass that is extremely scarce in the five kingdoms. Although only people from Heavenly Fragrance Valley know how to refine it, its value is undeniable.
It is said that one Starlight Grass, at an auction in the black market outside, must start at least at 500,000 spirit stones!
However, the fire in Xu Que's hand still rushed to the top of the Starlight Grass.
"Sizzle!"
Instantly, sparks burst out, like tiny, bright starlights, shining with golden light, rushing from his hand, and falling like a fountain!
Tang Xueru and others were stunned. On one hand, they were frightened by Xu Que's act of burning Starlight Grass, and on the other hand, after this Starlight Grass burned, it was really beautiful!
"Damn, isn't this the fireworks that children play with in their hands during the New Year?"
Xu Que looked at the brilliance in his hand and was instantly happy. There is such a magical herb in the cultivation world, and, indeed, it seems to be more beautiful than the "fireworks" on Earth in his previous life, and it's quite fun...
He waved his hand, and the golden "fireworks" drew an arc in the air. The arc stayed for a while before gradually dissipating and falling to the ground, leaving a faint light that couldn't be erased, but it stunned Tang Xueru and others present!
Until a moment later, the golden starlight finally dimmed completely.
A handful of extremely precious Starlight Grass just turned into ashes in Xu Que's hand and drifted away with the wind!
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 40 Acting Cool Points!"
The system prompt sound rang in his mind instantly.
"Wait!" Xu Que was suddenly stunned, then overjoyed in his heart, "This King of Acting Cool seems to have... found a fresher and more refined way to act cool!"
"Hahaha, this time I'm going to make a fortune!" Xu Que laughed loudly, his figure flashed, and without even greeting Tang Xueru and others, he rushed directly into the distance.
Zhang Danshan and others were also dull-faced. Until Xu Que's figure disappeared in front of them, several people looked at each other, then smiled bitterly.
That "Senior"... is really a strange person!
Only Tang Xueru had a hint of suspicion in her eyes, feeling that this black-robed person seemed really familiar, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
A moment later, far on the other side of the valley, several cultivators were searching for Starlight Grass in a state of anxiety.
"Why haven't we seen a shadow of Starlight Grass after searching for so long? Are we really not destined for Heavenly Fragrance Valley?"
"Only blame our luck for being too bad."
"No, it's ultimately because that Starlight Grass is too rare. Although this valley is very large, it's impossible for it to be full of Starlight Grass. I guess it was picked clean long ago."
"Sigh, let's take a break, we'll disperse to search later."
Several people sighed and complained, shaking their heads.
At this time, a black-robed figure suddenly rushed past not far from them.
When several people saw it, they were instantly happy!
"Yo, look quickly, isn't this the young man who said he wanted to enter the second stage alone?"
"Haha, look at how anxious he is running, I guess he's dumbfounded."
"We have at least five hours left, that kid probably has less than half an hour before he has to go out."
"Haha, laughed to death. He even dared to curse us at the valley entrance earlier. Let's go, let's go block him and waste his time."
"Interesting, I want to see what his expression will be like when he can't find Starlight Grass after entering and is kicked out for failing the stage!"
After speaking, several people turned into black shadows and quickly chased after Xu Que.
"Kid, are you in a hurry to find Starlight Grass? Beg us, even if you beg us, we won't give it to you, hahahaha!" Several people started mocking behind Xu Que.
As soon as Xu Que heard the movement, he was overjoyed, suddenly stopped his figure, turned to look at several people, and asked: "Do you believe that there is really starlight in Starlight Grass?"
"Uh?"
Several people were stunned, full of confusion.
Is there really starlight in Starlight Grass? What does this mean?
"Could this kid have gone crazy?"
"Looks like he couldn't find Starlight Grass, suffered a blow, and his spirit has become disordered, haha."
"Kid, hurry up and get out, this place doesn't suit you."
Several people laughed gloatingly.
Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth, shook his head and smiled: "Sorry, I really found Starlight Grass. Want to see? Come, come, come, let you see, one, eh, two, whoosh, three, four..."
Watching Xu Que take out Starlight Grass one by one from his arms, several cultivators were instantly dumbfounded, their faces dull, their chins nearly falling to the ground.
"This... how is this possible?"
"A full ten Starlight Grasses, my god!"
"What kind of luck does this kid have to be so lucky."
"But he has only been in for less than half an hour, how could he possibly get so many Starlight Grasses?"
Several people were incomparably suspicious.
Xu Que waved his hand and smiled indifferently: "Don't guess, with your IQ, even if you guess until you die, you won't be able to guess where my Starlight Grass came from. This matter has to start from when I went to the latrine, but these are not important. What's important is, today I want to prove one thing to you!"
"Wh... what thing?" Several cultivators were bewildered.
"That is... there really is starlight in Starlight Grass!"
"What the hell? What exactly do you want to say?" Several cultivators were impatient, staring fixedly at the Starlight Grass in Xu Que's hand, their eyes full of greed!
Xu Que had a smile on the corner of his mouth, waved his black robe, and snapped his fingers with a magician-like posture.
"Snap!"
A wisp of flame suddenly rushed from his fingertip.
"Next, is the moment to witness a miracle!"
As the words fell, the flame at Xu Que's fingertip suddenly rose and rushed toward the ten Starlight Grasses!
"No!"
"Damn, are you sick!"
"Stop quickly!"
Several cultivators were scared crazy, screamed, and rushed toward Xu Que at the same time.
However, the flame had already ignited all ten Starlight Grasses together!
With a "sizzle" sound, beautiful golden starlight bloomed from Xu Que's hand!
"..."
Several cultivators' legs went soft, and they sat paralyzed on the ground, their faces dull.
"Ten Starlight Grasses, a full ten Starlight Grasses..."
"Just like that, gone, actually burned in front of me like this!"
"Ah!"
Several people went from hope to instant despair, their spirits suffered a great blow, and their vicious gazes stared fixedly at Xu Que, nearly going crazy.
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 30 Acting Cool Points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 50 Acting Cool Points!"
Xu Que ignored the expressions of several people, listening to the system's prompt sound in his mind, he was full of joy, waving the burning Starlight Grass in his hand, as if celebrating the New Year.
He faced several cultivators, playing happily, drawing golden "fireworks" into arcs, forming various shapes.
Sometimes drawing an "S" shape, sometimes drawing a "B" shape.
Thus, very quickly, in front of several cultivators, golden shining "SB" characters were left behind. One "SB" dimmed and fell to the ground, and a new "SB" lit up.
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 20 Acting Cool Points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 30 Acting Cool Points!"
In Xu Que's mind, the system's prompt sounds continued to echo! ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
