Chapter 261.1. The zing Delicate Apricot''s Test


    Wang Qiuer was taken aback, and her eyes immediately grew sharp. She understood now, the Delicate Silk Immortal had made thing very clear. If Huo Yuhao hadnt chosen to risk his life to ingest that herb, they would probably have faced an all-out assault from the nt-type soul beasts around the Icefire Yin Yang Well. There was no need to discuss the other nts around them, as the hundred-thousand year Delicate Silk Immortal herself wasnt a force that they could deal with. In other words, Huo Yuhaos impulsiveness had actually saved their lives!


    Huo Yuhaos expression was calm. His spiritual sea had been boosted once more, and his mind had be more transparent and clearer than before. That oue was something that he had guessed would happen, so it didnte as a surprise to him.


    Huo Yuhao heaved a sigh and said, It seems like Ive been blessed with a fortuitous opportunity among all the dangers and perils. That means, You You, I dont have to thank you. What I want to know is, what test will I have to go through after this? What test will I have toplete to obtain that book?


    The Delicate Silk Immortal puffed indignantly and said, You should still thank me. Look, the Fullmoon Piercing Autumn Dew I chose for you is sopatible with you. Even though the Fullmoon Piercing Autumn Dew cant be considered the best magical herb around here, its still ranked amongst the immortal herbs, and its also one of the most appropriate herbs for you in this ce. Furthermore, its the easiest to absorb. I didnt let you feel any pain or suffering at all!


    Huo Yuhao forced augh and said, But Ive sustained a lot of emotional pain. Alright, thank you, then. You can tell me about the test I have to go through now.


    The Delicate Silk Immortal was satisfied as she said, Thats better. The test before this has proven that your personality is trustworthy. That means, the subsequent test will be about your abilities. You cant protect this book even if you have it if youre not strong enough, yes? Therefore, ording to what that person said, you have to disy sufficient ability before you can take this book. You will have to fight against a soul beast suitable for your level to prove that you have sufficient strength. Thisbat


    Wait, can you get to the point? Huo Yuhao had no choice but to interrupt the Delicate Silk Immortal, as she was just too long-winded. If he were to let her continue like this, he would probably start feeling dizzy by the time there was a conclusion.


    The Delicate Silk Immortal grunted and said, It hasnt been easy for me to find someone to talk to, and youre not going to let me talk more? Do you have any courtesy left in you? Hmph, I will choose a strong one for you, then. Ah Jiao, Ah Jiao, are you there? Please answer me if you are!


    Ah Jiao? Huo Yuhaos eyes focused, and a strange event urred. The four pupils in his eyes flickered at the same time, and his dual pupils fused together, with the purple pupil behind and his ck pupil in front. The purple pupil was slightlyrger, and it appeared as if his ck pupil had a purple light around it.


    Huo Yuhao released his Spirit Eyes, and purple and ck light sparkled at the same time. If one didnt inspect them closely, one would only be able to see that his eyes had be entirely purple-golden. He hadnt released his Purple Demon Eyes, and yet his eyes were already purple-gold.


    Ah Jiao, Ah Jiao, please answer me! Otherwise, Im going to disturb you. The Delicate Silk Immortals petals began to p around as she spoke, and a white streak of light appeared from the white part of theke before condensing in the air as ice crystals. The crystals instantly lined up in a formation as they pushed towards the center of the shore on the red side.


    Youre so irritating, You You, you garrulous thing. Youre interrupting my pleasant dreams again! an intensely displeased voice was finally heard. It was also a female voice. However, her voice was a lot brighter and crisper, and she didnt have You Yous tenderness. Her voice sounded a little more... valiant?


    A red sphere lit up on the redkes shore in the distance, and Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiuer could finally see where this other enormous talking flower was located.


    This nt waspletely fiery-red. It didnt really look like a flower, and was instead extremely tall. It was almost ten feet tall, while the open flower was slightly smaller than the Delicate Silk Immortal in diameter, and in the shape of a cabbage. Its entire body seemed like it had been sculpted from red rubies. It glowed once more, and the temperature of the air inside the valley rose a little bit.


    Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiuer were both highly resistant to heat, but they could still feel heatwaves smacking them in the face, and they instinctively channeled their soul power to fight against them.


    The Delicate Silk Immortal said, Ah Jiao, cant you see that we have visitors? You shall conduct this assessment. I can lift a burden off my chest if he can pass this test.


    The nt referred to as Ah Jiao answered, What burden do you have to lift? Isnt it just about the crystals that we have cultivated for many years? I sincerely hope that nobodyes to visit us.


    The Delicate Silk Immortal giggled and said, Whats wrong with that? We dont have any use for the crystals even if we keep them. Furthermore, he may not even pass your test. Without that persons help all those years ago, we would have ceased to exist. Why do you have to be so petty? If you are that unwilling, then I will let Aniseed do it. This will prove that Aniseed is more powerful than you are.


    Nonsense! How is that scoundrel stronger than me? Its obvious that Im stronger, so you shut up! Come here, little boy, and let me teach you a lesson. Please bugger off from this ce as soon as you lose.


    The fiery-red nt trembled, and a red beam of light soared from her body into the sky. A strange scene appeared  the dense vegetation in the valley suddenly opened a path as the nts on the ground separated to either side, and a path was created all the way from the Delicate Silk Immortal to where the fiery-red nt was located.


    The Delicate Silk Immortal said to Huo Yuhao, Go, go! Ah Jiaos temper isnt so good, and she is known as the zing Delicate Apricot. Shes a fire-type immortal herb, and shes extremely hot. Furthermore, you will be affected by the zing Sunspring when youre fighting over there.


    Huo Yuhaoughed bitterly and said, She is a hundred-thousand year soul beast, and I only have five soul rings. She has every advantage possible, doesnt that mean Im just throwing my life away if I carry on with this test?


    The Delicate Silk Immortal said, Are you stupid? I never said that you have to defeat her. All you have to do is pass the test. Quickly, now! You cannot ask me how you can pass this test, as everyone does it differently. Its all up to you now!


    Huo Yuhao knew that he couldnt back down at a time like this. Furthermore, for some reason, his other senses had risen to another level after his Spirit Eyes evolved, and he could even detect a little bit of another persons thoughts and feelings. For instance, he could feel intense worry and anxiety from Wang Qiuer beside him, while he didnt feel any hostility or evil intentions from the Delicate Silk Immortal. It felt like thisrge flower and the nts around them no longer harbored any hostility or aggression towards them after he had passed the first test.


    Huo Yuhao was naturally a lot more confident than before with this realization. He nodded in Wang Qiuers direction before he widened his stride and stepped onto the path that the nts had opened.


    Wang Qiuer hurriedly attempted to follow him, but the nts before her immediately closed up and sealed off her path. Voluminous vines swept into the sky and transformed into a barricade that prevented her from moving forward.


    You cant go. This is a test that he has to face by himself! the Delicate Silk Immortals voice rang out.


    Wang Qiuer shot a cold re at her and said, Have you forgotten what I said before this?


    Uh dont be like that. Okay, okay, Ill just tell you secretly. No danger wille to him even if he fails the test, as everybody is now treating him like a friend after he passed the personality test. Come, chat with me. The two of you can leave in peace even if he doesnt pass this test.


    Wang Qiuer nced at her. She wasnt afraid that the flower was lying to her, and so she decided to sit down on the spot. However, she didnt utter a single sound, let alone chat with the Delicate Silk Immortal.


    The Delicate Silk Immortal was bing a little bored and dejected. Herrge pink flower began to droop as she muttered under her breath, Youre not interesting at all. You think you possess


    Shut up! Wang Qiuer fired off another fiery re as golden light erupted and an intimidating look flowed from her pinkish-blue eyes. The nts around her arched backward conspicuously, as if they had been blown back by a gust of strong wind.


    The Delicate Silk Immortal said hurriedly, Alright, alright! Calm down, calm down! Ill just stop talking...


    Huo Yuhao didnt hear their conversation, as his attention had been locked entirely onto the zing Delicate Apricot ever since he stepped onto the path created by those nts.


    There was no question that she was a formidable fire-type nt soul beast, and she was a hundred-thousand year soul beast as well. He knew that he was no match for her, but ording to what the Delicate Silk Immortal had said, he didnt have to defeat her. Since that was the case, then all he could do was give everything he had.


    The Icefire Yin Yang Wellprised twokes, but its surface area wasnt that big. Huo Yuhao stepped forward steadily and quickly followed the path to where the zing Delicate Apricot was located.


    The zing Delicate Apricot was clearly a lot fiercer than the Delicate Silk Immortal was. Not a single nt grew within two hundred feet around her, and the nts that lived beyond two hundred feet were mostly red, or close to red. There was no question that they were all fire-type nts.


    Huo Yuhao didnt know much about this mystical ce, but he had been observing everything around him ever since he had arrived. He had discovered through his observations that the nts in this mystical cornucopia had their own hierarchy. The nts that were located closer to the Icefire Yin Yang Well were either highly resistant to intense chill or intense heat, or they were extremelypatible with these temperatures. That also meant the nts closer to theke were stronger than the others. The Delicate Silk Immortal and the zing Delicate Apricot grew by thekeshore, and there was no doubt that these two flowers were some of the strongest entities in this ce.


    The Delicate Silk Immortal grew at a location near thekes intersection, meaning her element was rtively neutral, and she didnt lean towards ice or fire. However, the zing Delicate Apricot before him was undoubtedly the dominant one among all the fire-type nts, as she took up the central spot on the zing Sunsprings shore.
