Yun Ling lifted her left hand. In her hand appeared a seemingly common white flower, palm sized, a bit like a tree peony, without leaves, the stalk connecting to a big rock. That stone was completely pitch black with an astonishing weight.
"Yearning Heartbroken Red!" Yue Guan suddenly appeared in front of Yun Ling.
Slap
A crisp slap resounded in the hall. Yun Ling had slapped Yue Guan's face.
Yue Guan showed an embarrassed expression. He was a Super Douluo and naturally wouldn't be hurt by a child that had just awakened their spirit. But now on his left cheek, a red handprint began to appear.
"Sorry, I was too excited just now. Would you like to be my apprentice?"
"Huh?" Yun Ling hadn't expected Yue Guan to place so much importance to her.
"Your second martial spirit is special. It's almost like mine." A chrysanthemum appeared in Yue Guan's right hand. "This is my martial spirit, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."
It was a chrysanthemum with an enormous flower in an exceptionally beautiful violet. Each of the chrysanthemum's petals seemed to be adorably fluffy on the outside, making them blend into each other. It didn't release any fragrance, and the stamen rising from the center of the petals was more than half a chi tall, the tip of the stamen glittering with a faint golden radiance.
"My Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is considered an immortal herb. Herbs that are sufficiently nourished by their natural environment, able to leave imprints, or have been given wisdom, they can already be considered plant-type spirit beasts or Immortal Herbs, which are classified as top-grade rare plants. In a sense, they are able to produce the best fairy products and/or their essences provide the best effect to spirit masters or whoever will take them. When the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is eaten, the energy will spread through the four limbs, blood clearing the Eight Meridians. It will strengthen a person's limbs. But mine is a spirit and not the real thing. It doesn't have that kind of effect."
"But my flower spirit doesn't seem very special." Yun Ling scratched her head in confusion, pretending she didn't understand.
"It looks very similar to a legendary immortal herb called Yearning Heartbroken Red. Among immortal treasure herbs it's a divine treasure. It also has a legend."
"So amazing?"
"A very long time ago, a youth, quiet and contented, most liked gardening and planting trees, filling his garden with green and blue lotuses and bulbs, thousands of purples and reds. Ordinarily singing to flowers, toasting to the moon, when a flower fell, he would be boundlessly grieved, sweeping up the flower, burying it in the ground, shedding tears again and again. It's said his feelings moved Heaven, and his great love for flowers moved the Heavenly Flower Immortal, who personally descended to the world to marry him, happiness like fish in water need not be mentioned. But unexpectedly the good times didn't last, God learned about their matters, and was furious, saying immortals and the mundane didn't match, ordering Flower Immortal to return to the divine realm. That youth having lost his lover, moaned and groaned in pain all day, depressed, discarding matters of flowers, consequently the walls fell, and fences collapsed, flowers and trees withered, the land growing desolate.
One day a white-haired old man arrived, telling him that the white tree peony flower in his garden, was his wife's reincarnation, as long as he destroyed the flower, the Flower Immortal would lose her immortality, banishing her to the mundane world to be his wife again, but he couldn't by any means destroy a flower. The words turned into a pure wind and disappeared, and the youth suddenly came to himself, deeply regretting his mean treatment of the blossoms, he again carefully tended to the flowers and plants, even though he deeply loved his wife, he couldn't bear to burn down the tree peony, it was even more cherished than himself, day and night watering the flowers with his tears, the tears stemmed from deep sorrow, and yearning and heartbroken he died, in his final moments, he dripped some blood on the petals, and you see those dark red stains, that is the heart's blood of that youth."
"My flower spirit doesn't seem to have any blood stains." Yun Ling looked down at her second spirit.
"Yes. Many martial spirits evolve slightly when they add a spirit ring. It could make your second spirit truly become a Yearning Heartbroken Red. When that happens, no plant martial spirit could hurt you."
"But I still have another martial spirit." Yun Ling hesitated.
"That spear spirit can develop in the direction of an agility attack system. Gui Mei can teach you how for your first spirit."
"Teacher." Yun Ling shouted in excitement. Two Super Douluos for teachers, no one else had such good treatment right?
