Chapter 29: Testing the Medicinal Properties of the Longevity Flower

A few minutes later, Zhao Ling’er opened the door and led Zhao Qingzhi and Zhao Wuji into the villa.

“Greetings, Mr. Ye,” Zhao Qingzhi and Zhao Wuji said respectfully as they stood before Ye Yang.

“You’ve come to exchange this spiritual medicine for points, correct?” Ye Yang waved his hand to dismiss the formalities and pointed at the crystal box containing the Longevity Flower in Zhao Qingzhi’s hands.

“Yes, please, Mr. Ye, assess the value of this spiritual medicine in Kunlun points,” Zhao Qingzhi nodded, then handed the crystal box with the Longevity Flower to Ye Yang.

With a casual wave of his hand, Ye Yang summoned a surge of spiritual energy that swept the crystal box from Zhao Qingzhi’s hands into his own.

“Like Wisdom Roots, heavenly and earthly spiritual medicines are divided into four grades: low, medium, high, and top-tier,” Ye Yang explained. “Low-grade spiritual medicines are worth 500 points. Medium-grade ones are worth 1,000 points. High-grade ones are worth 1,500 points. Top-tier spiritual medicines are worth 3,000 points. This spiritual medicine is of excellent quality, belonging to the top-tier grade, and is worth 3,000 points.”

Pretending to examine the Longevity Flower in the crystal box, Ye Yang spoke calmly to Zhao Qingzhi.

Upon hearing that the Longevity Flower was worth 3,000 points, Zhao Qingzhi’s face lit up with joy. The Medicine family had casually given him a top-tier spiritual medicine. As the saying goes, the best things are kept for oneself.

If they were willing to part with this, it must mean the Medicine family had even better treasures. If the Longevity Flower was a top-tier spiritual medicine, did that mean the Medicine family’s hidden stockpile consisted of medicines of this caliber? If so, wouldn’t he soon possess tens of thousands of Kunlun points? With that, he could easily upgrade his Kunlun point level and purchase higher-grade items.

Zhao Qingzhi’s thoughts were naturally transparent to Ye Yang, who possessed the Soul-Capturing Spell.

To this, Ye Yang could only think that Zhao was overestimating things. A small family like the Medicine family could hardly distinguish the quality of heavenly and earthly spiritual medicines.

At best, they relied on medicinal potency to judge their grade. But on Earth, where spiritual energy was absent, the difference between a top-tier and a low-grade spiritual medicine was negligible.

In fact, some low-grade spiritual medicines with special effects might even surpass top-tier ones in potency. The rarity of top-tier spiritual medicines was universal—they were extremely scarce in the cultivation world and undoubtedly rare on Earth as well. If the Medicine family had even one more spiritual medicine comparable to the Longevity Flower, Ye Yang would thank the heavens.

…

“Mr. Ye, may I ask if Kunlun points can be transferred to others?” Zhao Qingzhi, still excited, glanced at Zhao Ling’er standing beside Ye Yang and asked respectfully.

“As long as they are Kunlun members, points can be freely transferred. Simply use your mind to communicate with your identity jade token and silently specify how many points to transfer to another person,” Ye Yang replied calmly.

“Yes,” Zhao Qingzhi nodded, indicating he understood.

“Anything else?” Ye Yang asked. “If not, you may leave.”

Having obtained the Longevity Flower, Ye Yang was eager to study its medicinal properties and promptly issued a dismissal to Zhao Qingzhi.

“There is one more matter. I’ve met someone with a Wisdom Root whose status and influence could greatly benefit Kunlun’s development. Tomorrow, I’d like to trouble Mr. Ye again to allow me to introduce him to join Kunlun,” Zhao Qingzhi said respectfully.

“Bring him tomorrow. If he meets Kunlun’s membership requirements, he may join,” Ye Yang replied, looking at Zhao Qingzhi.

“Yes, I won’t disturb you further,” Zhao Qingzhi said respectfully.

With that, he left the villa under Zhao Ling’er’s escort.

A few minutes later, Zhao Ling’er closed the villa door and returned to Ye Yang.

“Mr. Ye, my grandfather just transferred 2,000 Kunlun points to me. Last time, you graciously gave me a Bone-Strengthening Pill, and I felt unworthy. Now that I have points, please deduct them,” Zhao Ling’er said respectfully.

“Items I give you don’t require points,” Ye Yang said, his tone sharpening as he looked at her. “Or perhaps you want to keep things strictly transactional and avoid any connection with me?”

Of course, Ye Yang was merely teasing Zhao Ling’er. Her true intention wasn’t to distance herself from him.

On the contrary, she wanted to show him that she was principled by offering to pay points, hoping to earn his respect and deepen their connection.

“No, Mr. Ye, that’s not it,” Zhao Ling’er’s face paled instantly at his words. “I …”

“You don’t need to overthink things around me,” Ye Yang said, shaking his head. “Sometimes, overthinking can lead to the opposite outcome. That’s all I’ll say. Reflect on it.”

With that, Ye Yang flipped his hand, storing the Longevity Flower in his storage ring, then leaped to the second floor and returned to his room.

“Don’t overthink? Sometimes overthinking leads to the opposite outcome?” Zhao Ling’er furrowed her brows, pondering Ye Yang’s words. After a long moment, she finally understood what she needed to do.

“I see. Mr. Ye, with his boundless lifespan, must have seen countless human schemes. If I act calculative in front of him, it’s as if my intentions are written on my face, plain for him to see. If I scheme, he’ll surely dislike it. From now on, I just need to be myself and stop overthinking. That might lead to the outcome I truly want.”

…

“The top-tier spiritual medicine, the Longevity Flower, truly lives up to its legendary reputation. Even without spiritual energy, it possesses such remarkable vitality,” Ye Yang thought as he returned to his room.

The moment he took out the Longevity Flower to study it, he sensed a trace of divine aura. This aura was imperceptible to ordinary people, but to a cultivator like Ye Yang, it was clear. The Longevity Flower seemed to radiate joy, as if it was delighted to finally be in the hands of someone worthy, no longer a pearl covered in dust.

After marveling at the flower’s vitality, Ye Yang prepared to test its medicinal potency. With a flip of his hand, he took a pill from his storage ring and crushed it over the Longevity Flower. The moment the spiritually infused pill powder touched the flower, it began to glow. The light corresponded to the flower’s ninety-nine leaves, flashing exactly ninety-nine times. After the flashes, an overwhelmingly potent medicinal fragrance emanated from the flower. The moment Ye Yang inhaled it, he felt his lifespan increase by several years.
