Chapter 329: Young’er’s Gift

At that moment, Xiao Shou gained a much deeper understanding of his Absolute Fusion ability.

After thinking for a moment, he gently patted Yao Heng to comfort it, "But I like you very much, Yao Heng. I don’t want to lose you. At the same time, I know you want to advance quickly, and I don’t want to lose you either. So actually... There is a way to achieve both goals at once."

"What method?" Yao Heng asked expectantly.

Xiao Shou smiled. "Didn’t you say that both the Ice Heart Tree and the Flower of Eternity are food for your race? I imagine it’s the same principle as how cultivators absorb spiritual energy and spirit stones to cultivate and increase their cultivation. So if I prepare enough high grade Ice Heart Trees and Flowers of Eternity for you, then you can absorb them and advance naturally. It will be a little slower than the method I used just now, but it will be much safer."

"Eh? You’re right!" Yao Heng’s eyes immediately sparkled. "If I eat that guy, I’ll be able to advance very quickly!"

It then tossed aside its little handkerchief and stared greedily at the nearby male flower, looking as though it would pounce on it and take a bite at any moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Shou could not help laughing.

Yao Heng always managed to surprise him in the most unexpected ways.

He hurriedly put the Tier 6 Flower of Eternity into a jade box while saying, "Not that one. It’s a gift for Young’er. If you still have enough Flowers of Eternity, I can make another Tier 6 one for you without intelligence."

After safely storing away the Tier 6 Flower of Eternity that had almost become Yao Heng’s meal, Xiao Shou began thinking.

Since the intentions he had infused into his Absolute Fusion ability could determine the flower’s spirituality and even allow it to recognize its future master before awakening, then perhaps if he directly wished for a Tier 6 Flower of Eternity without intelligence, he should be able to create one successfully.

If that worked, it would be wonderful.

As his Absolute Fusion ability continued to evolve, the rank of the items he could fusion would naturally continue increasing.

In the cultivation world, the higher the grade of a material, the stronger its spirituality became, and the greater the possibility that it would develop intelligence.

He certainly did not want a situation where, every time he fusion high grade materials, a group of intelligent spirits looked at him with expressions saying We are willing to sacrifice ourselves for Master before disappearing within the light of his ability.

The guilt alone would crush him.

It was much better if they simply never possessed intelligence in the first place.

That would make things easier for everyone.

"I do!" Yao Heng nodded repeatedly. "I still have the ones we gathered before, and all the newly planted ones have bloomed too! Master, hurry and create a high grade Flower of Eternity for me!"

As it spoke, it took out a huge pile of Flowers of Eternity and burying Xiao Shou beneath them.

After crawling out from underneath the mountain of flowers, Xiao Shou waved his hand and stored them all away before saying, "Not yet. I need some time to recover before I can make another high grade Flower of Eternity."

Why did Yao Heng always say he was creating things?

Could the true nature of his Absolute Fusion ability really be creation?

No.

Not yet...

He shook his head and pushed that thought aside.

"Oh..."

Yao Heng dejectedly flopped back down.

It seemed that seeing the Tier 6 Flower of Eternity had stimulated Yao Heng greatly.

Thinking about that flower reminded Xiao Shou of something important that he had almost forgotten.

He quickly placed a large quantity of Nullspace Gems into the low grade storage ring he intended to give Fu Young. Then he smiled. "My adorable Yao Heng, I’ll have to trouble you once more. Prepare some food and seeds for your new companion. We can’t let it go hungry in the future."

"I know..." Yao Heng replied weakly. It then dragged its feet for quite a while.

Only after Xiao Shou had finished organizing everything did it reluctantly take out a small number of Ice Heart Tree seeds, Ice Silk Worm eggs, and Flower of Eternity seeds from its internal space and hand them over.

Xiao Shou gently patted Yao Heng’s head to comfort it.

He placed all three items into the jade box containing the Tier 6 Flower of Eternity before sending a message for Fu Young to come over.

Fu Young had just finished arranging the internal sect competition and other matters.

The moment he received Xiao Shou’s message, he hurried over.

As soon as he entered, he saw his master handing him a silver storage ring and a jade box about the size of a palm.

Nearby, Yao Heng was pouting while glaring resentfully at the jade box.

Although Fu Young found the scene rather strange, he still accepted both items. While examining them with his spiritual sense, he asked, "Master, what are these?"

"Aside from the two Time Pavilion, everything else is a gift for you." Xiao Shou smiled proudly. "See if you like them."

Secretly, he thought that he was probably the most generous master in the entire Heaven Origin Realm.

Fu Young had not even finished examining the contents of the storage ring before happily nodding. "As long as they’re gifts from Master, I’ll like them."

"Hehe... I’m glad you like them." Hearing those words made Xiao Shou extremely happy.

He laughed foolishly for a few moments before remembering the important matter at hand. He quickly asked, "By the way, what exactly is the Heaven Origin Grand Competition? Did you find out all the details?"

Fu Young nodded.

Seeing how much his master cared about the matter, he temporarily set aside the inspection of the storage ring and jade box.
