"The flowers here all have very potent medicinal properties, making them extremely effective for concocting medicines, especially for the Yaoguai King and Yaoguai General levels. Pick quickly, you’ll benefit no matter what."
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King released that basket of water flowers to float in midair.
Creating another basket, she continued to pick.
"Pick only one flower at a time, don’t grab a handful. Greed and haste will anger Silvacanis."
"Each flower reveals its true form only when picked. So you can't use your eyes to choose the one you want."
No One was sweating.
Then why are you continuously picking all these baskets of flowers the whole time ?
Following her lead, he bent down and began to pick as well.
Just a flower, how potent is the medicine—
【Memory Of Past】
【Epic】
【Ingredient for concocting medicine. Requires Master level in the profession to understand fully.】
Ah... Forgive me father for I has sinned.
He picked another flower.
【Morning Winter】
【Epic】
【Ingredient for concocting medicine. Requires Master level in the profession to understand fully.】
And another one.
【Striped Flower】
【Epic】
【Ingredient for concocting medicine. Requires Master level in the profession to understand fully.】
One more...
【Snow Demon】
【Epic】
【Ingredient for concocting medicine. Requires Master level in the profession to understand fully.】
"Just randomly picking a flower, and it's guaranteed to be of Epic quality?"
As No One recalled, the Epic-grade ingredients in the game are mainly dropped randomly from Boss fights.
Each potion was estimated to be worth thousands of Gold.
Doesn't that mean striking it rich?
Following the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King... What a blessing!
"Stop entertaining that idea." Snow Moon was picking flowers alongside him.
"Huh?" No One was taken aback, and his budding dream of wealth momentarily halted.
"All the flowers here are of Epic quality, but they don't come with recipes."
"Which means they are useless."
What?
What!?
No One was utterly dejected.
Even as Snow Moon continued picking, her true intention was to take them back for DMG to analyze.
Fortunately, she had chosen the Alchemist profession at the start of the game. She was close to reaching the Master level required to read the recipes, but she guessed there wouldn't be any.
These flowers... it would likely be a long time before they appear in the First World.
Picking them now was just for keepsakes.
"Recipes?" The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King turned to look.
"I cooperated with Foreigners, selling quite a few recipes using the herbs from here already."
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King glanced at the two.
The two just looked at each other.
"My dream of getting rich is back." No One's eyes lit up.
He kept picking flowers continuously.
Snow Moon was stunned.
"So... Master picking them is to..."
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King nodded.
"Sell."
"Monopoly trading is incredibly profitable."
"I still have a stack of recipes, let me show you."
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King pulled out a bundle of tied recipes and tossed it to Snow Moon.
Snow Moon looked at the list of recipe names and was startled.
【Elixir of Immortality】
【Elixir】
【Ten Thousand Fragrances Poison】
【Divine Dew】
These recipes... are sold at a very high price in the market.
Yet in the hands of the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King, they were treated like nothing more than a pile of scrap paper.
And the ingredients for the concoctions, they could only be found here.
Truly, the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King could charge whatever he wanted.
"If you've learned the craft of potion-making, pick as many as you can. Opportunities to enter this place aren't frequent."
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King created nearly ten water baskets and sent them floating over to Snow Moon.
No One and Snow Moon diligently picked the flowers.
"So... Master brought me and No One here just to pick flowers?"
"Not exactly, it’s also for you to meet the Forest Wolf Yaoguai." The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King happily explained while picking flowers.
"He and I are sworn siblings, you still have to call him uncle."
"Then why am I here?" No One pointed at himself with his finger.
"For you to learn." The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King smiled.
"Learn?" No One was puzzled.
"Yes, once you finish picking, you'll understand."
Whoosh.The wind continued to blow, becoming somewhat stronger.
Countless petals swirled up into the air.
But unlike usual, the petals didn't get carried away. Instead, they gathered together.
Then they circled around the three of them and gradually formed a shape.
A wolf.
"Sam Sam, which flower is the Divine one? Quickly, show me."
The wolf looked at the three of them, then seemed to bow.
"If it's meant to be, you'll naturally find it."
Seeing the Forest Wolf Yaoguai, Snow Moon immediately stood up and bowed.
"Hello, Uncle."
The wolf nodded in response.
Then it turned to look at the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King.
"You have taken a disciple?"
"What do you think? Isn't she beautiful?" The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King grinned brightly.
"Beautiful." The wolf nodded.
"You know, can't you keep the flowers in their original shapes so I can easily pick the ones I need?"
"If it's meant to be, you'll naturally find it."
"Oh, just be quiet already."
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King teased affectionately while continuing to pick flowers.
"Amethyst, you know I'm willing to give you a new pair of eyes."
Snow Moon and No One were taken aback, especially Snow Moon.
She knew of the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King's impending death in a few days.
At that time, the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King's eyes would be blind.
Having a pair of eyes that could see the future would undoubtedly be useful in that battle.
"No." Meanwhile, the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King just shook his head.
Indeed, the Forest Wolf Yaoguai still had two flowers over its eyes.If desired, it could be given entirely to the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King.
"It's just a bit of cultivation. As long as I'm alive, I can regain it. Those flowers will surely bloom again."
"Taking them to help you will be more meaningful."
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King had lost the smile he had earlier.
"Sam Sam, I don't allow you to speak of this matter anymore."
"You are a Forest Wolf Yaoguai; who gave you the right to easily give up your flower like that?"
"Strive to cultivate; the future generations of Yaoguais will certainly be led by you as the Yaoguai God."
The wolf's face seemed filled with many thoughts.
Utterly somber.
"Exchanging your life for peace and prosperity, I'm sorry, I can't bear it."
"You little brat! Who told you to predict my death?" The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King threw a flower at him.
The Forest Wolf Yaoguai plucked a flower with its mouth and placed it in the hand of the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King.
"Both of us know. You must continue to see the future to be able to change it."
The Forest Wolf Yaoguai released a cup of water with a large petal inside.
It was a petal of the Right Eye Flower.
When blended with water, it will reveal the future.
In the cup, there was a reflection of the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King in its true fox form, lying dead amidst the ruins of the City of Thousand Tails.
"Your death is very likely to occur. Using my eyes to exchange for your life, I would do it countless times."
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King silently smiled.
"I don't want that."
"You just focus on cultivation."
Then she placed the flower given by the Forest Wolf Yaoguai on her head.
"You make sure to live long enough to see me conquer the world."
Snow Moon suddenly recognized what that flower was.
【Heavenly Path Flower】
【Divine】
【A flower believed to have fallen from paradise.】
【Medicinal ingredient for crafting potions.】【Requires Master-level crafting skill to fully understand the usage of the potion.】
【Grants one chance of immunity from death when worn.】
"I accept your kindness," the Thousand Tails Yaoguai King replied with a wry smile.
The wolf gently rested its head on her shoulder, nuzzling affectionately.
"If you die, I'll devour this whole world."
The Thousand Tails Yaoguai King patted the wolf's head.
"Ridiculous. I am immortal."
The wolf playfully nipped at her head, teasing.
"Then who was it years ago, every time they foresaw their own death, came whining to me, saying they didn’t want to die?"
"I never did that!"
"Liar!"
No One and Snow Moon watched them with smiles on their faces.
Ah... They seemed more like siblings arguing.
