Seeing Ye Lingling's somewhat delirious expression, Gu Xuan was actually quite surprised. He had only meant to tease her, but she reacted like this? Was there a chance?

Gu Xuan pondered inwardly. Ye Lingling was fifteen years old. Her figure and appearance were impeccable. Although she wasn't tall, this kind of little loli who looked like an older sister was very attractive.

Shaking his head slightly, Gu Xuan dismissed his negative thoughts and asked again, "Tell me, why do you want to know about this?"

Ye Lingling snapped out of her daze, trying to calm down any other pent-up emotions, and then said, "Because it's very important to me."

"Oh?"

Seeing Gu Xuan's puzzled expression, Ye Lingling thought for a while and then said, "There are at least two ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs in the Hunyuan Pill. The rarity of ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs is almost comparable to that of soul bones. Even though our family has inherited it for so many years, we only have five ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs."

"Imagine you have at least three ancient medicinal herbs and countless other thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to refine pills. What kind of resources must you have behind you?"

As Ye Lingling spoke, the shyness on her face faded, and she stared wisely at Gu Xuan.

"I don't believe you would be foolish enough to use this level of pills for us. Of course, we can't rule out your feelings for us, but what I want to say is that if it weren't for the large reserves of these medicinal herbs, even if you agreed, I believe Sect Master Ning wouldn't have agreed."

Listening to Ye Lingling's words, Gu Xuan realized that he had always underestimated this girl. Perhaps she was the wisest person in the entire Royal Fighting Team, who had seen through the whole picture just by using these things.

Of course, it's also possible that she knows best the value of these medicinal herbs, or rather, the value of the Hunyuan Pill.

As Ye Lingling spoke, she couldn't help but become more confident, believing that her guess was correct.

Suddenly, Gu Xuan looked up and gently tapped Ye Lingling's head: "I didn't realize that our cold-hearted Ye Lingling would think of this. I won't hide it from you, you're right, we have a treasure land with countless ancient medicinal herbs inside."

"As for higher-grade immortal herbs, they also exist, but these are beyond my control. Moreover, my teacher and the others are now managing this treasure land. Even if I want to take something from it, I need permission and to state my purpose."

As he spoke, Gu Xuan stared intently at Ye Lingling, his red and blue pupils giving him a unique charm when he looked at people.

Ye Lingling gave in less than ten seconds and turned her head away to avoid Gu Xuan's gaze.

A great man once said that if two people of the opposite sex can look at each other for more than ten seconds, they will surely spark a flame of love.

Ye Lingling's martial soul is the Nine-Heart Begonia, a classic top-tier plant-type martial soul, so she dares not play with fire, otherwise she would be engulfed by flames.

Seeing that Ye Lingling dared not look him in the eye, Gu Xuan continued, "Since you asked that question, I can roughly guess your intention. You probably guessed that I have a huge and resource-rich medicinal garden behind me, and you even want to take something from me. It's just a pity that I can't make that decision."

"I'm telling you this so you can weigh the pros and cons yourself. You can pass this message back to your family and have them contact Uncle He."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and after a long while, she asked, "Since you are able to refine the Hunyuan Pill, you must have studied medicinal herbs. I have just one question."

Ye Lingling held up one finger.

Gu Xuan nodded.

"Do you know about the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid? Or do you know if there are any Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchids in your precious land?" Ye Lingling asked this question, her whole body tense up, as if Gu Xuan's answer would determine her future.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan was taken aback. An eight-petaled fairy orchid? He had never heard of the Nine-Heart Begonia family having any connection with the eight-petaled fairy orchid.

Gu Xuan naturally knew about the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, but he didn't know why Ye Lingling was asking about it.

However, since Ye Lingling was so concerned and showed such a tense expression, Gu Xuan guessed that the eight-petaled fairy orchid must be of great significance to their Nine Heart Begonia family.

After thinking it over, Gu Xuan decided not to say anything for now and to see how things went.

"An eight-petaled fairy orchid?" Gu Xuan asked in confusion. "This is also a fairy-grade medicinal herb. It must be extracted with gold and placed in jade. As long as it is placed in a jade container, it will not wither for a thousand years and will not fade for a hundred generations."

"Among all the miraculous medicinal herbs, it is the mildest yet most mellow. It is easily absorbed but takes a long time to be absorbed. Its main functions are to strengthen the body's foundation and eliminate impurities."

"If you consume the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, it can compensate for your slow cultivation speed as a support-type Soul Master. The effects of the medicine can last until you reach level 70."

Listening to Gu Xuan speak word by word, Ye Lingling was already certain that Gu Xuan's knowledge of pharmacology was not low. After all, he not only knew the effects of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, but also knew the effects of taking it.

"You're right, so you really do have an eight-petaled fairy orchid?" Ye Lingling couldn't help but get excited after hearing Gu Xuan's words. She stepped forward and grabbed Gu Xuan's big hand, her tone somewhat urgent.

However, she was quickly confused because she saw Gu Xuan shake his head.

"I'm sorry, although I know the effects of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, we don't have this rare herb where we live." Gu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't believe that Ye Lingling would be so excited about something like this, so he wanted to test her.

"No...no?!" Upon hearing this answer, Ye Lingling seemed to have all her energy drained away instantly, and even the light in her pupils dimmed.

Looking at Ye Lingling's expression, Gu Xuan took her small hand, which was gripping his large one, and said softly, "Lingling, even without the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, you don't have to be like this, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's expression turned somewhat sorrowful, a feeling that could be clearly felt even through her veil.

"What do you know? There has always been a curse on the Nine Heart Begonia. There can only be two Nine Heart Begonia heirs in the world at the same time. Because of this curse, I lost my dearest person, and I will lose my dearest person again in the future because of this curse." Ye Lingling suddenly cried for some reason, as if she was overwhelmed by the despair of this world.

Looking at Ye Lingling's sudden emotional breakdown, could this be the result of seeing only despair amidst hope?

"The Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid has the same effect as you described for ordinary Soul Masters, but if the owner of our Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul takes it, then the curse can be broken. It's just that my family has never found the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid." Ye Lingling said with a sob, venting her sorrow.

"Sigh." Gu Xuan sighed and gently patted Ye Lingling's back. "I see."

"If that's the case, then wouldn't you be willing to trade your lives for this eight-petaled fairy orchid?" Gu Xuan said softly.

Hearing this, Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at Gu Xuan: "If possible, any member of the family would be willing."

"Can you imagine the Nine-Heart Begonia multiplying infinitely across the continent like the Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? If that were the case, even the status of the Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would be shaken."

As Ye Lingling spoke, she released Gu Xuan's hand. She had lost control of her emotions for a moment and hadn't grasped the proper distance between herself and Gu Xuan. Now that she had come to her senses, a blush appeared on her face again.

"I'm not teasing you anymore." Gu Xuan grabbed Ye Lingling's hand again and held it in his hand, feeling its soft warmth.

Ye Lingling forgot to pull her hand back for a moment when she heard Gu Xuan's words.

"What do you mean?" Ye Lingling looked up and stared at Gu Xuan.

"Literally, the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid is still here, but it's not being used yet. If you're still not lying to me, then giving the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid to the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul owner is indeed the best solution." Gu Xuan held Ye Lingling's hand, with one arm around her waist, making them look like a young couple.

At this moment, Ye Lingling seemed to have forgotten that Gu Xuan was taking advantage of her. She only had one thought in her mind: the eight-petaled fairy orchid. He has an eight-petaled fairy orchid.

"Are you kidding me?" Ye Lingling's eyes regained their sparkle as she gazed at Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan smiled slightly: "I have no reason to lie to you, even if you are very good-looking and can touch my heart."

Gu Xuan continued to tease Ye Lingling. Only then did Ye Lingling realize that Gu Xuan had one arm around her slender waist and the other hand playing with her small hand.

"!" Ye Lingling raised an eyebrow, and an idea instantly popped into her mind.

"You pervert! Aren't you already dating Sister Yan? You're actually planning to seduce me?"
