Yu Qing Qian also felt that Gu Yan’s words made sense. After all, when she formed a contract with the Demon Emperor Herb back then, they felt that they were both fated for the other.
“Your Demon Emperor Herb was really randomly contracted in the Royal Academy?” Gu Yan felt incredulous when he remembered that that poor Royal Academy actually hid an emperor-level spiritual plant.
Yu Qing Qian smiled: “Master, you’ve already asked this question seven or eight times. I really did find it in the spiritual plant garden of the Royal Academy.”
“Hasn’t anyone coveted it before? Or are all the Spirit Emperors in your Royal Academy blind?” Gu Yan sat his chin on his fist and said lazily.
Yu Qing Qian said with a chuckle: “Many people had coveted it, but it’s said that no one has been able to resonate with it and form a contract with it for a thousand years. As for whether the Spirit Emperors of the Royal Academy are blind or not, I don’t know, but the Demon Emperor Herb doesn’t look much different from other advanced-level spiritual plants before advancing to Spirit Marshal.”
“True, your Demon Emperor Herb is just too intelligent. It must’ve concealed its emperor-level bloodline aura before. If it hadn’t been for your duel with the Leng Clan’s Spirit Emperor that other day, and it derived an emperor-level skill, I would’ve almost missed it too and been fooled.” Gu Yan said after some thought.
Yu Qing Qian’s lips twitched—was Show-off Master implying that he had been blind before too…
“The strongest talent of the Demon Emperor Herb isn’t healing either, while everyone in the Royal Academy previously classified it as a spiritual plant of the healing-class.” Remembering this incident, Yu Qing Qian also discovered that the Demon Emperor Herb was very cunning—so young but it actually knew how to hide.
Gu Yan picked up the wine jug and poured a glass, “Then what’s its strongest talent? I feel that its healing talent is also ranked high among emperor-level spiritual plants.”
“The Demon Emperor Herb already had the healing talent and combat talent. This time, after advancing to Spirit King with me, it also derived another talent, which is similar to poison attack.”
There was a helpless smile in Yu Qing Qian’s eyes. The Demon Emperor Herb would actively absorb the poison residues from the moment it formed a contract with her and often competed with her, its Owner, for food—truly ‘if not already family, then they wouldn’t enter this family’s door’.
Although the talent of the Demon Emperor Herb was only derived recently, but Yu Qing Qian constantly felt that this was the most powerful talent of the Demon Emperor Herb.
Gu Yan was dazed, “You really need to raise this Demon Emperor Herb well, I didn’t expect it to be that kind of emperor-level spiritual plant with an ancient bloodline. Your luck is heaven-defying.”
“What do you mean? Master, how do you know it’s some kind of ancient bloodline?” Yu Qing Qian asked curiously.“The emperor-level spiritual plants of an ancient bloodline have spiritual intelligence the moment it’s born, and can derive different talents as their level of cultivation increases. It’s said that
there was once a powerhouse whose ancient bloodline emperor-level spiritual plant had derived ten kinds of talents—one spiritual plant is worth thousands.”
Gu Yan paused, then continued: “Your Demon Emperor Herb now has three talents already, maybe it can attain that kind of achievement in the future.”
Yu Qing Qian remembered that when she first formed a contract with the Demon Emperor Herb, the little thing would swallow up human’s mental energy. So it turned out that it already had spiritual intelligence since birth, which was the reason for its strong bloodline.
“Mm, it’s enough to contract the Demon Spiritual Plant, this one spiritual plant for me.”
Yu Qing Qian won the comprehensive test of the major Academies and was rewarded with the opportunity to enter the spiritual plant garden, but after entering, even though there were several advanced-level spiritual plants with good bloodlines, she wasn’t tempted.
Now that she thought about it, it really was because the temperament of the Demon Emperor Herb was very similar to her own, and other spiritual plants just weren’t suitable for her.
Meanwhile the Nine-Coloured Magic Lotus was of the auxiliary-class. It not only had a nourishing effect, but also had a purifying function, and was also very useful.
