Chapter 123: Flower of Youth

Chu Xuan saw that Ding Yue was the first to pick the spirit herbs, and that his luck was extremely good. He was the first to discover the largest, oldest, and most valuable herb garden.

Ding Yue did not lack cultivation techniques or secret techniques, and Emperor-level weapons were not even worth his attention.

Spirit herbs were naturally his first choice.

No matter how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures there were in the pocket dimensions, they would grow slower than the rate at which they were consumed. Replenishing them would take a long time.

Therefore, since he now had the opportunity to replenish the pocket dimension’s resources here, he naturally would not miss this opportunity.

Ding Yue picked about half of them before someone else finally arrived.

A graceful figure floated over.

Han Yingmeng!

Ding Yue drew his longsword and drew a circle around the edge of the medicinal garden. He said, “These are mine. If you dare to take a step past that line, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Wang Hao consumed a lot of spirit herbs to refine pills. The Emperor-level pills he had with him had all been refined by Wang Hao.

It was not easy to find a ruin like this either, especially one of such a high level.

If he did not bring back a pile of ingredients for pill refinement, how could he make up for all of the pills he ate?

“This is not your family’s territory. Anyone who finds it will have a share!”

Han Yingmeng became angry when she saw Ding Yue.

He was actually so overbearing!

She took a step forward and was about to step into the medicinal garden.

Ding Yue brandished his sword and was about to make a move. However, on second thought, what if he destroyed the spirit herbs while fighting?

He activated his sword technique and shouted in a low voice, “Divide!”

The treasured sword swayed and instantly transformed into densely packed sword gleam. Each sword gleam was like a real treasured sword.

All of the sword gleams instantly formed a sealing formation around the medicinal garden.

Boom!

Han Yingmeng waved her delicate hand and a flower petal flew out and smashed onto the sword gleam formation.

However, such a powerful attack was actually unable to break through the sword gleams.

Han Yingmeng’s expression changed slightly. Ding Yue’s was actually so strong!

“If you continue to cause destruction here, I will kill you after I finish picking the spirit herbs!” Ding Yue said fiercely.

Han Yingmeng was so angry that her pretty face turned red. She cursed Ding Yue a thousand times in her heart.

However, in the end, she did not dare to continue to attack.

She finally understood that this b*stard Ding Yue did not have a soft spot for women at all.

After Ding Yue finished picking the spirit herbs in the garden, he sheathed his sword and was about to leave when Han Yingmeng hurriedly said, “Ding Yue, I want a flower of eternal youth.”

Ding Yue did not even look at her after picking the herbs. He completely ignored her. Han Yingmeng was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Could it be that she was not attractive at all?

She could not understand why Ding Yue ignored her beauty.

“Why should I give it to you?”

Ding Yue took out a flower of eternal youth and looked at her from the corner of his eyes.

Han Yingmeng took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.

She gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll give you something in exchange!”

Had it been any other young male cultivator who had obtained the flower of eternal youth, not only would she not have to ask, the cultivator would probably have run over and offered it to her immediately!

However, Ding Yue, that b*stard, had completely ignored her.

“What do you want to exchange for it?”

If it was something good, Ding Yue would not mind exchanging the flower for it.

The flower was precious, but also useless. If it was not something that most cultivators could use.

Its main function was to make its user feel young and beautiful, never aging.

It was very attractive to women.

After all, no matter how high one’s cultivation level was, once they were stuck at a certain realm for a long time, their lifespan would be greatly depleted, and they would age.

In fact, even under other certain special circumstances, they would age.

The flower of youth could make its user look youthful and beautiful, and it could also resist those special circumstances that would make one’s face age.

Its effect on men was average, but it would have a miraculous effect on women.

Therefore, it was both precious and somewhat useless at the same time.

A pained expression flashed across Han Yingmeng’s face. She took out a jade bottle and poured out a medicinal pill into her tender white palm.

“I’ll trade it for this medicinal pill.”

Ding Yue looked at the medicinal pill in her palm. It was a low-grade Emperor-level pill. Moreover, it was not a particularly high-quality pill.

Wang Luo had long stopped refining pills of this level, so Ding Yue had been spoiled rotten. He did not even bother taking a second look.

He silently took out a bottle of pills and poured them into his palm. There were nine middle-grade Emperor-level pills in total there, and they were high-quality middle-grade Emperor-level pills.

“Your pill isn’t worth anything. Are you going to use something else in exchange instead?”

Han Yingmeng’s beautiful eyes widened, and her face was filled with shock.

She finally understood that the red-bearded old man’s exclamation about the Emperor-level pills was not because he had discovered Emperor-level pills in the ancient ruin.

He was simply shouting because of the pills that were in Ding Yue’s hand earlier.

This was too extravagant!

Han Yingmeng’s eyes were red. Were it not for the fact that she could not beat Ding Yue, she would not have been able to resist the urge to beat the living daylights out of him and snatch those pills!

She had originally thought that one Emperor-level pill could be exchanged for the flower of youth.

In the end, she found out that she had been made to look like a clown!

Shamefaced, she stored the pill away.

“So, what do you want to offer in exchange instead?”

Ding Yue did not even fancy the Emperor-level pill, so what else could she offer?

Had this been another man, there were still some other methods she could employ. However, those methods would not work on Ding Yue, this b*stard.

Ding Yue stored the pills back into the bottle and said, “You are Floating Flower Pavilion’s Holy Maiden, so you should have quite a few spirit herbs, right? Take them out. If there’s anything I like, I’ll exchange those for this flower.”

Han Yingmeng took out all of the spirit herbs she had on her. Each of them was precious, but a little inferior in terms of age.

Ding Yue had just picked a bunch of ancient spirit herbs, so how could he take a fancy to these little medicinal herbs of hers?

It looked like she was going to lose the opportunity to preserve her youth.

Han Yingmeng’s heart ached.

“Barely enough.”

Ding Yue took a look. As the Holy Maiden of the Floating Flower Pavilion, Han Yingmeng still had some treasures.

There were a few unique and relatively rare spirit herbs.

He stretched out his hand and took all of Han Yingmeng’s spirit herbs. He then threw a flower of youth over to her.

“Forget it. I’m making a loss here, so count it as my gift to you.”

From Ding Yue’s perspective, the flower of youth was not as valuable as these rare spirit herbs.

After all, the effect of the flower of youth was very simple and straightforward. It was only valued by women.

Han Yingmeng was overjoyed and hurriedly stored the flower of youth into a jade box carefully.

“As the Holy Maiden of the Floating Flower Pavilion, you’re too poor. You’re really poor!”

Ding Yue looked at her with disdain and left in a flash.

He continued to explore the ancient ruin.

Han Yingmeng was so angry that her face turned green. This was too disgraceful. She wanted nothing more than to kill him with one punch!

Inside the ancient ruin, battles were constantly taking place because of treasures.

Even two experts at the ninth level of the truth realm had fallen.

Chu Xuan was observing the action through the Heaven-spying Mirror. So far, no treasures that were worth a second look had appeared.

Ding Yue’s harvest was not bad though.

As a son of fate, his luck was indeed extraordinary. He was very successful in his exploration of the ancient ruin.

Treasures that others could not find seemed to just be waiting for Ding Yue to appear.

After watching for half a day, Chu Xuan deactivated the Heaven-spying Mirror and turned his attention to something else.

The exploration of the ancient ruin was not something that could be completed in a day or two.

Some places still had remnants of the killing intent and destruction of the great battle, and there were even powerful restrictions around those places.

There were still some dangers in the ruin.

The inheritance left behind by the Bai Sheng Mountain sect was most likely a body tempering technique. To others, this might be extremely precious.

However, to Ding Yue, it was completely unattractive. No matter how strong Bai Sheng Mountain’s body- tempering technique was, it was far cry from the Firmament Sword Body.
