Chapter 78: Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus

Upon recalling how Zhou Jiaxin had been hesitant to say something, Lin Yuan understood. After this trade, Zhou Jiaxin wouldn’t probably say what she wanted to say.

Lin Yuan looked at Zhou Jiaxin and realized that she was looking at him too. Lin Yuan smiled and said, “Alright.”

When Zhou Jiaxin saw Lin Yuan’s expression, she was delighted too. Her actions were already very obvious, and a clever person could vaguely guess the meaning within her words. Since Lin Yuan didn’t refuse, it meant it was possible for her to make the conversation later.

After dealing with the Sword Horn Speed Antelope, Zhou Jiaxin pointed at a charred tree trunk at the side and said, “The next fey is this.”

Lin Yuan could see that the pitch-black trunk was filled with scorched marks. Lin Yuan walked over and used his hand to touch on the scorched marks. He realized the spot he touched immediately withered upon contact. Lin Yuan was astonished.

This tree trunk should have been burned by the flames of a demon from the Abyss Dimensional Rift. The marks on the trunk and the withering effects were very similar to the abyss flames.

The trunk was bare, and there was nothing left. The roots under the trunk were only about half a meter long, and the rest were severed. There was also an opening on the tree trunk, and it was obvious that the tree core had been dug out. However, Lin Yuan could still feel faint traces of vitality within the tree.

Only a high-grade wood-type spirit plant would be able to grow a tree core. Spirit plants with tree cores were silver-grade at worst. In other words, the pitiful tree that had been burned by the abyss flames was at least a Silver fey.

Lin Yuan felt that if this tree could survive for so long and retain a trace of vitality after losing its core, it proved that this spirit plant wasn’t normal. It might be a Gold spirit plant.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the tree, and he got a shock after seeing the information.

[Fey Name]: Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus

[Fey Species]: Osmanthus genus/Osmanthus Fragrans species

[Fey Grade]: Gold (4/10)

[Fey Type]: Wood

[Fey Quality]: Flawless

Abilities:

[Osmanthus Fragrance]: The osmanthus fragrance could lift the mind’s attention and eliminate fatigue.

[Falling Flower]: Flowers bloom and wither to fall in four seasons. The fallen flowers can rapidly eliminate the poison within the target’s body.

[Clarity Flower Bud]: The flower buds that didn’t manage to bloom contain nectar that could recover spiritual injuries.

[Spirit of Osmanthus]: The osmanthus contains a fortuitous aura that could resist and eliminate damage from curses and also curse marks.

Exclusive Skill:

[Poison and Curse Removal]: Effectively remove all sorts of poisons that are hard to cure and break curse- and incantation-type spiritual poisons.

At that moment, Zhou Jiaxin’s voice echoed again. “This fey went through an appraisal and is a Gold spirit plant. It should be an osmanthus species.”

Zhou Jiaxin didn’t know much about this spirit plant either. She had only been able to find out that it was gold-grade and of the osmanthus species when she imported it.

It had already been reduced to this state. If it weren’t a Gold fey of the osmanthus species, Zhou Jiaxin wouldn’t have kept it. Of course, even if this Gold osmanthus was in this state, if the core was still around, Zhou Jiaxin wouldn’t have been able to afford it.

Since ancient times, the osmanthus was one of the ten famous flowers. After the Spirit Qi Awakening, all ten of the famous flowers remained at the top, and the osmanthus was a luxurious and fortuitous flower too. Therefore, the osmanthus’ price had remained at the top among the plant-type feys. In addition, the petals of the osmanthus were high-grade spiritual ingredients and also food. It made the price of the osmanthus even more ridiculous.

Humans were always mindful of auspicious signs, and when it was combined with beauty, the price would definitely rise up many times more. As for existences that were auspicious, beautiful, and also had powerful effects, people would treat them as treasures. The osmanthus was such an existence.

However, Zhou Jiaxin had brought back an osmanthus that was almost like charcoal, and the only thing that was worth some value was the thin layer of wood that wrapped around the core. It could be used as spiritual ingredients for gold-grade plants. However, it was only an ordinary spiritual ingredient, as most of the effective parts on the osmanthus plant were on the flower and leaves and not on the tree trunk.

At that moment, Zhou Jiaxin didn’t know that Lin Yuan was having completely different thoughts from her. This wasn’t an ordinary osmanthus but a Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus, and it was one with the best combination of abilities and exclusive skill. The exclusive skill was able to enhance all four of the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus’ abilities.

This Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus was simply the nemesis of poison-type and curse-type feys. It wasn’t just able to remove all sorts of poison. It could even cure and remove spiritual-type poisons. Even the curse-type poisons and curse marks that were hardest to remove could also be dealt with by this Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus.

It was truly a cardinal treasure and could be known as the classic and pure healing-type fey. Apart from its abilities and exclusive skill, the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus was also a famed species among the osmanthus species. The flowers that bloomed would number in thousands as they hung on the branches and were even more radiant than the clouds during sunset.

It was such a fey with a great auspicious aura, but the current state was truly miserable. If this Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus was placed in front of others, it might be useless and could only be used as a spiritual ingredient. However, when placed in front of Lin Yuan, if he planted it in the Pure Land of Bliss within the Spirit Lock spatial zone, the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus would certainly obtain new life in just a matter of time. It would bloom with numerous flowers that would cover the branches.

This Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus was something that Lin Yuan must get. He might not be able to form a contract with the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus, but if it was planted within the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan could use the flowers from the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus to remove poisons.

The Jasmine Lily might be able to heal injuries, but it couldn’t remove poisons.

Lin Yuan might not be able to use the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus’ ability during combat, but he could make use of it daily when he was nurturing and healing feys.

If he missed out on this Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus, he would need to spend a price that was hundreds or thousand times more to get another one.

Take the Gold dragon-species feys’ blood, for example. One drop of their blood would cost 80 Radiance dollars, but the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus’ transaction price was even higher than Gold dragon-species feys.

“Big Sister Xin, how much are you selling this charred fey?”

When Lin Yuan was looking at the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus, he was tempted to release his spiritual power toward it. He held back, nonetheless. It was impossible that no Creation Masters had seen this fey before him. For a Gold fey like the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus, it was probable that Class 4 Creation Masters had also viewed it to see if it was worth healing. Presently, Lin Yuan was only a Class 2 Creation Master, and if he healed the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus here in front of Zhou Jiaxin, it wouldn’t be a good thing for him.

“Lin Yuan, don’t be in a hurry. Another fey was delivered together with the osmanthus. Take a look at this fey first, and we will calculate the price together. To be honest, I was only able to obtain this osmanthus fey by chance. Osmanthus feys might be precious, but its current state isn’t really helping. Furthermore, the other fey is said to have grown on this osmanthus tree previously. When they were transported over, it was cut down and placed in this box.”
