Chapter 198 A Spirit Leaf_2
Now there are two options: one is to directly take the White Jade Bottle and drink the water from it, the consequences unknown, and there's no way to explain it to the Eighth Lord.
The Eighth Lord being angry is secondary; if the water cannot be taken back to him, the Suihou Bead cannot be exchanged.
The second option is to pour out another bowl from the White Jade Bottle, the consequences unknown.
Wan Chaocun is now full of surprise and seems to have noticed Li Xiu's hesitation. He said, "You don't need to worry about that little Eight. With me here, he won't dare to harm a single hair of yours."
Li Xiu shook his head, reached out to grasp the White Jade Bottle, and slowly lifted it up. The three flowers within the bottle were becoming increasingly radiant, nurtured by the water in the three bowls; the petals appeared as crystal-clear as jade.
Without hesitation, Li Xiu tilted the bottle, and the water quickly filled the red jade bowl.
Li Xiu raised the White Jade Bottle, brought his mouth to the bottle's mouth, and drank the flowing water in gulps.
As soon as the water hit his stomach, he immediately felt a warm current flowing into his belly, quickly expanding throughout his body. In no time, he felt extremely hot, as if he had just entered a hot pool from a cold one, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Li Xiu was drenched in sweat, feeling increasingly warmer inside, but the heat wasn't scorching.
Somehow, Li Xiu just felt increasingly drowsy, and before long, he closed his eyes, and his body fell down.
He didn't know how much time passed before Li Xiu woke up, feeling incredibly refreshed, as if he had worked for three days and nights and then had a good sleep. His body felt indescribably comfortable, as if every cell had come alive.
Opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was Wan Chaocun's beautiful face, both furious and joyful.
Only then did Li Xiu realize that he was actually lying on Wan Chaocun's embroidered couch, with Wan Chaocun lying beside him, one arm supporting her cheek, and the other hand holding a small round fan of light gauze, gently fanning Li Xiu.
"Brother, you finally woke up." Seeing Li Xiu awake, Wan Chaocun said with a smile on her lips.
"How long did I sleep?" Li Xiu stretched lazily, sitting up from the bed, and asked.
"Only about two or three hours." Wan Chaocun said.
"That short?" Li Xiu frowned slightly; it felt much shorter than he had imagined.
He got off the bed, glanced at the low table in front, and saw that the three bowls and the White Jade Bottle were still there, but the black, red, and white flowers were gone.
Of the three bowls, two were still empty, and only the red jade bowl was filled with a bowl of water.
"Where are the flowers?" Li Xiu looked at Wan Chaocun and asked.
"They're gone. After you finished drinking the water from the White Jade Bottle, the three flowers withered and decomposed into nothing." Wan Chaocun replied.
Li Xiu quickly checked his own body, surprised to find that he had somehow already been promoted to a C-level Trial Taker.
Li Xiu: Trial Taker.
Level: C-level.
Quality: Aurora.
Primordial Embryo Quality: 4.1.
Symbiotic Contract: Evil Spirit Token (C-level), Forbidden Spear (C-level).
Talent Skill: Twin Souls (Evil Spirit Transformation), The Seventh Great Taboo No Killing, The Seventh Great Taboo Immortality, The Seventh Great Taboo Unknown, Ultimate Light.
The talent of Ultimate Light has not changed; the skill suffix of the Evil Spirit Token has changed from Twin Souls to Evil Spirit Transformation, and only the Forbidden Spear has acquired an additional talent skill.
After seeing this, Li Xiu picked up the red jade bowl on the low table and said to Wan Chaocun, "Sister Chun, I'll take this water to Eighth Lord first."
"You are now my brother, Wan Chaocun's, so you are not allowed to call him Eighth Lord anymore; just call him Little Eight." Wan Chaocun said.
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Li Xiu said.
"Tell him I've acknowledged you as my brother and see if he dares to accept being called Eighth Lord." Wan Chaocun said indifferently.
"Then I'll call him Old Eight from now on." Li Xiu thought for a moment and said.
"That works too." Wan Chaocun laughed and said, "I still don't know, brother, what's your name?"
"My name is Li Xiu, wood and child Li, cultivation and self-cultivation Xiu." Li Xiu replied.
"Little Xiu, you go first. When I'm out of trouble, we will swear a blood pact; you, as my brother, I, Wan Chaocun, acknowledge." Wan Chaocun said.
"Okay." Li Xiu replied, holding the red jade bowl as he left the red wooden house.
The wooden door, which previously couldn't be opened no matter how hard it was pushed, now opened easily, and after Li Xiu walked out, it closed by itself.
Chu Jun saw Li Xiu coming out and hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Li Xiu shook his head and walked towards the wooden house door of Eighth Lord with the red jade bowl.
"You managed to trade the water back!" Eighth Lord exclaimed, delighted and surprised, seeing Li Xiu coming in with a bowl of water.
"Eighth Lord, do you know who's in that red wooden house?" Li Xiu didn't put down the water but asked with the bowl in hand.
"I don't know. When I arrived here, that person was already in the red wooden house, and I had never seen them. The things in the red and blue wooden houses were all told to me by the owner here." Eighth Lord shook his head and said.
Li Xiu nodded his head, said nothing else, set the red jade bowl in front of Old Eight, and then turned to walk out of the wooden house: "I'm going to the blue wooden house to exchange the leaves you wanted."
Li Xiu said, picking up another box of blue gemstones and heading towards the blue wooden house.
"Be careful." Eighth Lord admonished from inside the house.
Li Xiu pushed open the door of the blue wooden house, and saw the inside was completely different from that of the red wooden house.
