39: Fire Spirit Grass

“Such a large ancient vine, it is qualified to be nurtured.”

Xia Fan meticulously examined the ancient vine for a while, realizing that in the entire Seven-Colored Valley, there seemed to be no other existence more suitable than it. He thought with great satisfaction, “If I cultivate this ancient vine to develop sentience and make it the guardian of the valley, it will be much safer in the future.”

“After all… that one locust tree alone is still a bit too weak.”

With this thought, he personally dug a pit next to the ancient vine, then ordered Hu Er to plant the blood spirit grass beside it, letting out a low growl, “Hu Er, this time you brought back a very good heavenly material and earthly treasure.”

“When the tian yuan fruit tree matures, you’ll get a share!”

“Roar—”

Immediately, Hu Er roared excitedly, wishing he could run around and spread the good news.

He saw that Xia Fan already had six late-stage first-tier fierce beasts gathered around him, and among the kin of Yuan Da Li and Centipede Qian Zu, there were also some with good bloodlines. The few tian yuan fruit trees would not be enough to go around.

Now with his boss’s guarantee, he knew he would not miss out on this opportunity after all.

Before long, a faint bloody mist emanated from the blood spirit grass, but before the bloody mist could dissipate, it was quickly absorbed by the ancient vine.

The blood spirit grass’s expediting of the ancient vine’s sentience had begun.

Seeing this, Xia Fan cut his tiger claw, let out a little blood, and dripped it onto the ancient vine. The latter indeed absorbed it at a visible speed.

“The spiritual energy here is dense, so it should take about half a month for this ancient vine to develop sentience.”

Xia Fan looked at the increasingly verdant ancient vine, thinking with full anticipation, “With it, the Seven-Colored Canyon will be our backyard from now on, and a hell for other fierce beasts!”

After finishing all this, he called out to Hu Er and then left.

With the blood spirit grass here, there was no need to take too much care of the ancient vine.

“Boss!”

That day, Yuan Da Li placed a crimson small grass in front of Xia Fan, showing a respectful expression, and shouted to report the situation, “This is a small grass I found by chance. Although I can’t see anything extraordinary about it, its spiritual energy is denser than other weeds.”

“This should also be a heavenly material and earthly treasure, right?”

Xia Fan did not answer the question immediately.

He paced slightly, leaned closer to the crimson small grass, almost touching it with his nose, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, “Could this be a Fire Spirit Grass?”

Just now, he felt the scorching aura emanating from this crimson small grass, and then relevant memories surged like a tide, “Its veins are like fire, its color crimson…”

Xia Fan carefully compared the descriptions related to the Fire Spirit Grass and finally confirmed that what Yuan Da Li brought back was indeed it.

For a moment, Xia Fan was overjoyed!

“You’re right!”

Xia Fan then let out a low growl towards Yuan Da Li, unable to hide his excitement, “Da Li, this time you really found a heavenly material and earthly treasure.”

Yuan Da Li immediately pounded himself a few times, looking even more excited than Xia Fan.

“Thanks to a previous life, when humans compiled information about heavenly materials and earthly treasures into books and distributed them to every human, otherwise I really wouldn’t recognize these heavenly materials and earthly treasures now.”

Xia Fan thought to himself, very emotional, “Back then, because humans were at a disadvantage in fighting fierce beasts, almost everyone was trying to find ways to deal with powerful fierce beasts, all wanting to do their part.”

“In my previous life, although I wasn’t very familiar with the ‘Illustrated Guide to Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures,’ I remembered the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that had a chance of being obtained, as well as some very famous ones, which is why I have some understanding of their information.”

“Indeed, learning is a very good thing. No matter when, learning is useful!”

“Boss, what is this small grass for?”

Seeing Xia Fan’s rather excited mood, Yuan Da Li immediately became curious and called out from the side, “Is it like the previous blood spirit grass, also for cultivating other plants?”

“If it were, I wouldn’t be so excited.”

Xia Fan shook his head, thinking about the future, and patiently explained to Yuan Da Li, his low growls continuously coming out, “The Fire Spirit Grass is one of the extremely rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures.”

“After consumption, the consumer can gain extremely strong fire resistance. When facing fire-attribute ability fierce beasts or fire-attribute ability users, he will naturally be in an invincible position!”

Yuan Da Li listened to these words, immediately feeling somewhat profound, with a confused expression.

Seeing this, Xia Fan sighed slightly and continued to explain with a roar, “To put it simply, after eating the Fire Spirit Grass, even if you are burned by fire, it will be harder for you to get injured than before.”

“The flames of ordinary fierce beasts of the same level will no longer pose much of a threat to you.”

Immediately, Yuan Da Li’s eyes widened, staring intently at the Fire Spirit Grass in front of him, not expecting it to have such a powerful effect.

As soon as he reacted, he was about to turn and leave, but Xia Fan stopped him, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Boss, I’m going to look for more Fire Spirit Grass. This is a good thing.”

“No need.”

Xia Fan shook his head, “When Fire Spirit Grass grows, it plunders the spiritual energy from its surroundings, so there is only one plant near them.”

“To find it, you can only rely on luck.”

“Then… are there any other similar heavenly materials and earthly treasures?”

Yuan Da Li suddenly turned into a curious baby, constantly shouting, “Boss, this mountain range is very large, and there are still some places we haven’t explored.”

“It would be great if we could find similar heavenly materials and earthly treasures.”

In an instant, Xia Fan’s eyes lit up.

Before, he had only let Yuan Da Li and other fierce beasts blindly search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but he had never told them relevant information.

Such spiritual items like the Fire Spirit Grass also include Ice Spirit Fruit and Thunder Spirit Marrow, but they are all extremely rare!

“If I can get all of them, then it would simply be… the natural bane of those elemental ability users!”

Xia Fan immediately became a little excited, but he also knew that getting one Fire Spirit Grass was already extremely lucky, so he didn’t ask for too much at the moment.

He stared at the Fire Spirit Grass for a while, then opened his mouth and swallowed it.

Boom—

Instantly, Xia Fan only felt as if there was a ball of flame in his mouth, burning fiercely, and his body temperature was rapidly rising, as if he had fallen into a furnace.

He subconsciously opened his mouth to exhale, which made Yuan Da Li dumbfounded.

Because the air in front of Xia Fan actually began to distort!

This was a sign of high temperature!

Xia Fan had no time to pay attention to these things at the moment. Before he could exert any effort, the Fire Spirit Grass transformed into a mass of scorching liquid and slid down his throat into his stomach.

Immediately, the blood in his body seemed to start boiling violently, rushing around at an extremely fast speed, causing his heart to beat even more intensely.

“What overbearing power!”

Xia Fan sighed slightly, then roared to the extremely concerned Yuan Da Li, “I’m fine, this is the effect of consuming the Fire Spirit Grass!”
