"What nonsense! Let me tell you, I'm an educated person. Don't try to fool me. Even your Immortal-grade Linglan Youruo can only help improve other people's aptitude!"
Xie Zhou looked at the exquisite lily of the valley with annoyance.
"Everyone knows that consuming our inner core can improve one's cultivation aptitude. However, they do not know that if one cultivates while enjoying the fragrance of the immortal-grade lily of the valley, although it is not as fast as directly consuming the inner core, one can improve one's aptitude day by day and year by year."
The fairy-grade lily of the valley, You Ruo, leaned closer to Xie Zhou.
Outside, Lingfeng frowned as she watched Xie Zhou talking to herself inside the barrier, wondering what she was doing.
"System, system! You were playing dead when I made the changes! Come out and show yourself!"
Xie Zhou was somewhat uncertain. Although this immortal-grade lily of the valley, You Ruo, was a flower, judging from her appearance, if she continued to cultivate for a few more years, she might become the first flower to cultivate into a demon.
"What she said is true, but the improvement of your aptitude mainly depends on yourself. If you cultivate day and night without stopping, you can improve very quickly. If you only cultivate for two or three hours a day, then..."
"Okay, I promise you."
Without a second thought, Xie Zhou readily agreed to the offer of the celestial-grade lily of the valley, You Ruo.
"You...you agreed so readily, there's no ulterior motive involved, is there?"
The exquisite lily of the valley covered its body with two leaves and quickly moved aside.
"?"
Xie Zhou looked puzzled again.
"Isn't this the question you raised! Now that I don't doubt you anymore, you're starting to doubt me?"
Xie Zhou directly countered with a question.
"You...you agreed too quickly, I'm afraid there's something fishy going on!"
Xie Zhou rolled his eyes. It's really tough being a person these days!
"Hurry up, or my master will get impatient and might just rip your inner core out."
Xie Zhou stretched out his hand.
Only then did You Ruo, the celestial lily of the valley, timidly place a leaf in Xie Zhou's hand.
The next second, the fairy-grade lily of the valley, which was originally the same size as Xie Zhou, turned into a small, ordinary flower and jumped onto Xie Zhou's bald head.
"See, now you don't have to worry about not having any hair. I'll be your hair."
The exquisite lily of the valley swayed happily, but the next second, Xie Zhou pulled the flower down with his large hands.
"What the hell are you doing here?!"
Xie Zhou felt a little embarrassed.
"Master! Master! You can open the barrier now."
Xie Zhou patted the barrier, but Ling Feng could hardly believe his eyes.
"You didn't eat it?"
Lingfeng's expression immediately turned sour.
“Master, if we consume this immortal-grade lily of the valley, You Ruo, it will only improve her aptitude by two levels. However, by forming a contract and keeping her by our side, we can benefit much more.”
Xie Zhou told Ling Feng everything that happened within the barrier.
"this……"
"If you don't believe me, Master, you can see for yourself."
As he spoke, Xie Zhou released the flowers from his hand.
"You Ruo, grow bigger, hurry up!"
"oh."
You Ruo was very unwilling, but to avoid being eaten, she obediently grew bigger.
"Such a strange thing has happened."
Lingfeng was somewhat surprised.
Although this celestial flower is close to being a demon, it has an extremely unruly temperament. Most of the time, it would rather commit suicide than be controlled by humans. How could this celestial flower be so peculiar, choosing his little apprentice who knows nothing?
Lingfeng felt even more strongly that taking Xie Zhou as his disciple was the right decision.
“Master, cultivation is a personal matter. Thank you for the generous gift you have prepared for me! I will certainly live up to your teachings in the future.”
Xie Zhou bowed to Ling Feng, but Ling Feng did not ask any further questions.
"Go back and study."
Watching Xie Zhou's departing figure, Ling Feng felt a mix of emotions.
"You ugly flower, how dare you call me ugly? If you come with me, I'll make you cry with my ugliness!"
Xie Zhou naturally remembered what the flower had told her.
"Heh, you're quite vengeful. I only said that because I figured not many humans could understand me."
Youruo said something with a resentful tone, sounding very aggrieved.
"So you think you're absolutely right!"
Xie Zhou was quite angry.
"No, no, no, you're kind-hearted, and kind-hearted people are the most beautiful!"
You Ruo immediately admitted defeat.
At this moment, Xiao Huan was the one with the most objections.
The six-winged illusory python's mouth watered as it looked at the immortal-grade lily of the valley, You Ruo. For spirit beasts, the immortal-grade lily of the valley is a great tonic. If one could eat even one, one's cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
Later, under Xie Zhou's strong opposition, Xiao Huan had no choice but to obediently give in and let the immortal-grade lily of the valley, You Ruo, go.
"By the way, could you please tone down that ethereal aura around you a bit? Otherwise, I'm afraid it might attract even more trouble."
Xie Zhou was somewhat speechless. Ever since the immortal-grade lily of the valley You Ruo came to her side, butterflies and bees would come to visit Xie Zhou all the time.
The butterflies were alright, but the bees would sting Xie Zhou every now and then, making it impossible for him to memorize his lessons properly.
"Alright, alright, I know, I was just trying to show off my charm! You tasteless guy!"
The fairy-like lily of the valley, You Ruo, said something pitiful before withdrawing her fairy aura.
"Oh, and don't forget to let me out in the sun for an hour every day, or I won't be pretty!"
After saying this, You Ruo went to sleep.
"Wow, this is way too much trouble..."
Xie Zhou sighed. There was nothing he could do; after all, these were the plants he was meant to grow!
"Alright, alright, time to recite!"
In the following days, Xie Zhou became completely absorbed in memorizing texts.
Two days later.
"Holy crap! Thirty books, and I've memorized them all? This...this is unbelievable!"
"Of course, it's just a talent for memorizing. With me by your side, you'll be able to memorize anything in just two days."
You Ruo said something.
"My God, Flower Goddess, you're my lifeline! But if you're so amazing, why are you clinging to my leg?"
Xie Zhou excitedly praised You Ruo a couple of times, but immediately came to his senses. This contract was proposed by You Ruo herself, the immortal-grade lily of the valley.
"Well... I'm just afraid of dying! I don't want to be eaten! And since you can hear me, it just goes with the flow, doesn't it?"
You Ruo stuttered a little when she spoke.
"Master! I think this flower is lying! I'll eat it for you!"
After saying that, Xiao Huan took a bite out of You Ruo.
"You dead snake! Get out of here!"
"Xiao Huan!"
Xie Zhou glared at Xiao Huan in annoyance, and the snake slumped down, its head drooping and tail between its legs.
"Actually, I just wanted to experience human life..."
"Master, I think you're lying. I'll eat it for you!"
"Get down on your knees!"
