Chapter 924: Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiqi glanced at Chen Mo a couple of times, then said lightly, “Ice and Snow Poison-Eating Grass, Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower, Spirit Immortal Mushroom.”

“Is Zhou junior sister poisoned?” After hearing Zhou Qiqi mention the three top-grade treasure medicines, Chen Mo asked in astonishment.

This is because Ice and Snow Poison-Eating Grass and Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower are detoxifying herbs, whereas Spirit Immortal Mushroom, while being a kind of youth-preserving herb, is excellent for promoting blood circulation and improving recovery from injuries.

Zhou Qiqi remained silent.

Seeing this, Chen Mo knew it involved privacy, so he did not inquire further and said, “I have Spirit Immortal Mushroom and Ice and Snow Poison-Eating Grass, but I don’t have Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower at the moment, though I will find a way to obtain it.”

“How long will it take?” Zhou Qiqi asked.

“I’m not sure about that, but I keep my word, there’s no need to deceive you. Once I find it, I will give it to you,” Chen Mo said.

“Okay, but you must give me Ice and Snow Poison-Eating Grass and Spirit Immortal Mushroom first,” Zhou Qiqi said.

“No problem.”

Chen Mo waved his hand, and two exquisite Jade Boxes instantly floated in front of Zhou Qiqi, along with a red Jade Ruyi.

“This Initial Grade Dao Artifact, Blood Ruyi, is also for you,” Chen Mo said.

He was not worried about Zhou Qiqi taking his things and not doing what she promised.

Given his current position, if he wanted to cause trouble for Zhou Qiqi, it would be very easy.

Zhou Qiqi stared at the three items floating before her, somewhat dazed, seemingly not expecting Chen Mo to give them so readily. After verifying that the Jade Boxes contained Ice and Snow Poison-Eating Grass and Spirit Immortal Mushroom, Zhou Qiqi’s eyes showed some excitement. She raised her hand and absorbed the items, then solemnly said, “If I pass the assessment, they will too; and vice versa.”

Chen Mo nodded, knowing this was Zhou Qiqi’s promise, then chuckled lightly, “Thanks in advance, Zhou junior sister.”

“Can I leave now?”

“Of course,” Chen Mo replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiqi showed no hesitation, turned and left, without even drinking tea.

“Really a bit aloof,” Chen Mo shook his head with a smile.

After parting ways with Zhou Qiqi, Chen Mo returned to the Daoist Alliance and found Zuoqiu Yiren to ask if she had any Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flowers.

“Are you poisoned?” Upon hearing this, Zuoqiu Yiren grabbed Chen Mo’s hand to check his pulse, eyes filled with deep concern.

Chen Mo felt a warmth in his heart and shook his head, explaining why he needed the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower to Zuoqiu Yiren.

After listening to Chen Mo, Zuoqiu Yiren breathed a sigh of relief, but her tone was slightly sour, “Do you care quite a bit about your women?”

Chen Mo naturally noticed the sourness in Zuoqiu Yiren’s tone, and seized the opportunity to hold her delicate hand, leaning closer, “Yiren sister, you’re jealous.”

“Who is jealous? Stop with the hands,” Zuoqiu Yiren slapped away Chen Mo’s playful hand and moved back a bit.

“Wasn’t it you who initiated the hands first?” Chen Mo asked.

Zuoqiu Yiren glared at him before saying, “I don’t have Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower here, but the Daoist Alliance’s Medicine Hall does. With your status, you can ask the elder in charge for it; your annual quota includes two top-grade treasure medicines.”

After hearing Zuoqiu Yiren, Chen Mo went to the Medicine Hall.

Upon arriving, the elder told him there was no Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower left.

If he wanted it, he would have to wait fifty years for it to grow again in the medicine fields.

Chen Mo asked why and learned that Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower is a necessary detoxifying herb and in high demand. The Daoist Alliance has more than thirty core disciples who have not graduated, but there are less than ten portions of Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower, all claimed by other core disciples already.

Although Chen Mo appeared disappointed, he understood.

As a core disciple of the Daoist Alliance, one cannot always stay in the alliance and often needs to venture out and explore ruins and such.

During such ventures, injuries and poisoning are inevitable, and having Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower on hand is essential as a top-grade detoxifying treasure medicine.

Chen Mo, having no other recourse, asked who had taken the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower to see if he could trade for it.

The elder told him.

Among them, Chen Mo only knew Mu Qianqian.

He rushed to Mu Qianqian’s residence.

But learned that Mu Qianqian was in seclusion.

Chen Mo then sought other core disciples.

He found out they had all taken the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower to have it refined by the elder.

Although Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower can detoxify on its own, its effect is enhanced when refined into elixirs.

As core disciples of the Daoist Alliance, one of the privileges is that every five years, they can request their sect elders to refine arrays, talisman paper, or elixirs for them, though the materials must be provided by themselves.

Seeing this, Chen Mo could only wait for the refining of elixirs or Mu Qianqian to come out of seclusion, and then trade with them.

…

For now, Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower yielded no results, so Chen Mo went to Array Island. Lacking materials, he spent Spirit Stones to purchase three arrays that were permitted by Daoist Alliance’s assessment rules, intending to use them for the three women later.

Then he went to Ice Spirit senior sister to ask for some talisman paper.

When Ice Spirit found out Chen Mo wanted talisman paper to give to other women, she became furious and refused to give him any.

From her perspective, this was too much.

To take her possessions and give them to other women was the equivalent of “greening” herself indirectly.

Although she had long accepted Chen Mo having multiple women, she was still bothered by such behavior.

After much coaxing from Chen Mo, and at the cost of a few billion Life Value, Ice Spirit was finally appeased, and gave him a stack of talisman paper.

In the room.

Chen Mo took off his robe and lay on the bed, as Ice Spirit sat on his back, giving him a massage while saying, “I…I want to meet them.”

“What do you want to do?” Chen Mo enjoyed the moment with his eyes closed. Although Ice Spirit couldn’t compare to Ji Xi’Er or Xu Miaozhen in terms of bust, she had her unique flair during massage.

“The talisman paper is from me; they should remember me, remember my kindness, or else it would be in vain,” Ice Spirit replied.

Chen Mo: “…”

“That’s fine. This way it would be easier for you to get along with them in the future,” Chen Mo patted Ice Spirit’s thigh.

“What?” Ice Spirit was taken aback.

“It’s my turn to massage you.”

“You…you’re at it again.”

…

Before nightfall, Chen Mo brought Ice Spirit to meet the three women.

Before meeting them, Ice Spirit appeared carefree. Upon seeing the three women, she became nervous and was at a loss for words.

The Nangong sisters knew Ice Spirit, and were the first to greet her.

“Hello, Ice Spirit senior sister,” Nangong Yue said.

“Hello,” Ice Spirit realized she didn’t know how to address Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue was her junior sister.

But Nangong Yue had become Chen Mo’s woman before her.

According to the order of priority, she should call Nangong Yue an elder sister.

She chuckled a couple of times and pinched Chen Mo, asking him to ease the awkwardness for her.

Chen Mo kissed Ice Spirit, then quickly kissed the three women in succession, and took out the stack of talisman paper given by Ice Spirit, saying, “Ruoqing, Little Yue, Xue’Er, this talisman paper is given to you by Ice Spirit.”
