Chapter 207 Let go
The atmosphere at the scene became incredibly eerie.
Ye Danqing remained bowed, his face full of pleading. Qin Xiu and Ning Wanshuang looked extremely grim, but they said nothing.
After all, saving Master is the most important thing right now; everything else can wait until later!
Gu Changhuai and the others simply stood by and watched; they did not plead for Ye Danqing and the others.
The conflict between the Tianyi Sect and the Lingxiao Sect has always been deep, and with Su Luo's involvement, the relationship between the two sides is now extremely poor. Whether or not the Lingxiao Sect has found the Seven-Colored Lotus, and whether or not they are willing to give it away, is entirely up to the Lingxiao Sect members; no one else has the right to interfere.
This was the first time Feng Xiyue and the others had ever seen Ye Danqing beg for help in such a humble manner, and they were momentarily taken aback.
After regaining her senses, Feng Xiyue subconsciously glanced at Su Luo. Seeing that the girl's expression was indifferent and showed no other emotion, she couldn't help but purse her lips.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Xiyue decided to deny it to the bitter end: "Fellow Daoist Ye, your admirable affection is truly admirable. But I'm so sorry, we..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Luo suddenly interrupted him.
"We have indeed found the Seven-Colored Lotus, but can you afford it?"
Ye Danqing was taken aback.
When he heard Feng Xiyue's words, his heart sank. He thought there was no hope at all, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better!
Feng Xiyue was also taken aback.
She was about to deny it, so why did Su Luo suddenly admit it?
Chu Wenqing and the others were also stunned, not understanding why Su Luo would suddenly say such a thing.
The others looked shocked, then couldn't hide their excitement.
Unexpectedly, these people actually managed to pick a Seven-Colored Lotus! They actually had the chance to see a real Seven-Colored Lotus!
Under the intense gazes of everyone, Su Luo took out a magnificent Seven-Colored Lotus from her storage bag. At that moment, everyone except Su Luo and her few companions erupted in excitement.
Qin Zheng exclaimed, "It really is the Seven-Colored Lotus! It's exactly the same as the picture in the ancient book!"
Bai Jinyan couldn't help but sigh, "A single stem draws out the green, while two shadows share the red; it truly has a unique kind of beauty."
Even Gu Changhuai couldn't help but stare intently at the Seven-Colored Lotus in Su Luo's hand, his eyes gleaming.
Ning Wanshuang couldn't take her eyes off the Seven-Colored Lotus the moment she saw it.
What a beautiful spiritual plant... and it's brimming with vibrant spiritual energy. If she eats it, she might be able to break through her current cultivation level!
Unfortunately, she didn't find this spiritual plant...
Thinking of this, Ning Wanshuang felt a pang of jealousy and couldn't help but look at Su Luo with envy.
Su Luo is so lucky! She always manages to snatch all sorts of precious spiritual plants or treasures before she does, even though she's the female lead!
Qin Xiu didn't notice Ning Wanshuang's unusual behavior at all. Instead, he excitedly tugged at Ye Danqing's sleeve, his voice brimming with excitement, "Senior Brother, it really is the Seven-Colored Lotus! It really is! Master is saved now! That's wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"
Ye Danqing was also very happy, but he suddenly remembered what Su Luo had just said and became somewhat uneasy.
The first time he looked directly into Su Luo's eyes, he felt a pang of sadness when he met the girl's indifferent, emotionless gaze.
But he still shamelessly spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Su... we really need this Seven-Colored Lotus, so we'd like to ask how much you plan to sell it for?"
"It's not that I can't sell to you, but..."
Su Luo curled her lips, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes, "It depends on how sincere you are."
Originally, she didn't intend to let Qingya Zi have it so easily. Even if that former master's cultivation had declined, it was his own fault! But when she saw Ning Wanshuang, she suddenly thought of the near future, when the mad Demon Lord would lead the Demon Realm to attack the cultivation world, causing widespread suffering. At that time, relying solely on the patriarchs of the four major sects would clearly not be enough; the elders of the various sects would also need to step in.
Although she disliked Qingya Zi, he was indeed very powerful and could be of great use in the great battle. In the novel, although Qingya Zi was eventually killed by the Demon Lord, he still fought against the Demon Lord single-handedly until the Ancestor arrived, ultimately protecting hundreds of thousands of people.
Among those hundreds of thousands of people were not only members of the Tianyi Sect, but also members of other sects, and countless ordinary people!
She didn't intend to save the world, nor did she have the ability, but she couldn't bear to watch hundreds of thousands of people die because of her selfishness. Therefore, Qingya Zi was still useful, and his cultivation level couldn't be allowed to drop any further.
Feng Xiyue and the others looked at Su Luo with great surprise, not understanding why Su Luo would agree.
Chu Wenqing couldn't help but lean closer and whisper, "Su Luo, when did you become such a saint? Have you forgotten what those people from the Tianyi Sect did to you? Why should you give them the Seven-Colored Lotus?!"
Because they were standing close together, they could hear Chu Wenqing even if he spoke very softly. Feng Xiyue and the others nodded repeatedly, completely agreeing with Chu Wenqing's words.
Lin Ji looked at Ye Danqing and the others with displeasure.
These people are so annoying, they keep bothering Su Luo, they deserve to die!
Su Luo merely curled her lips slightly, winked at the group, and then transmitted her voice, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I know what I'm doing. Trust me, this Seven-Colored Lotus is the lowest quality among the others, I won't feel bad selling it to Ye Danqing and the others. Anyway, we have so many Seven-Colored Lotuses, it doesn't matter who we sell it to. They need it, so we can take this opportunity to rip them off!"
Su Luo was not lying.
The Seven-Colored Lotus she took out was in full bloom and looked truly beautiful. However, no one knew that the Seven-Colored Lotus in bud was actually the one with the best medicinal effects, compared to the fully bloomed variety.
The Seven-Colored Lotus is so rare that only one in a thousand years can be found, so naturally no one could tell the difference between the two. This conclusion was reached by Su Luo after she planted other Seven-Colored Lotuses on the island and conducted comparative experiments.
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, the expressions of the group changed slightly, and Lin Ji also raised an eyebrow.
Feng Xiyue looked at the Seven-Colored Lotus again, and couldn't believe that the Seven-Colored Lotus that was blooming so beautifully was actually the worst quality one!
So she secretly asked, "Su Luo, is this Seven-Colored Lotus really the worst kind?"
“That’s right, that’s true. You and Chu Wenqing both know that I planted Seven-Colored Lotus on the island. Later, I used a growth-inducing talisman to make the Seven-Colored Lotus grow quickly, and then compared the budding ones with the fully bloomed ones. I found that the medicinal value of the unopened Seven-Colored Lotus was about ten times that of the bloomed ones.”
As soon as he said that, everyone's eyes widened even more.
If there hadn't been outsiders present, Chu Wenqing would have gasped in shock.
Holy crap! The quality of the two types of Seven-Colored Lotus differs by tens of times! Ordinary Seven-Colored Lotus can revive the dead and heal the wounded, helping cultivators break through their cultivation levels. I can't even imagine how powerful the high-quality Seven-Colored Lotus must be!
They picked so many Seven-Colored Lotuses, almost half of which were still buds! My God! They've struck it rich! They've all struck it rich!
Su Luo looked at Ye Danqing and the others and transmitted her voice secretly, "So, it's not a loss to exchange a low-quality Seven-Colored Lotus for something better! Besides, they are the ones who need our help now, so even if we ask for an exorbitant amount, they will have no choice but to swallow this loss!"
She holds grudges. If you want what's hers, you'd better be prepared to pay the price!
Upon hearing this, the group's eyes lit up in unison, and they turned to Ye Danqing and the others, giving them meaningful smiles.
Su Luo is right! Since the Tianyi Sect needs their help now, it would be unreasonable not to fleece them!
Ye Danqing and the other two suddenly shivered.
For some reason, being stared at so intently by Chu Wenqing and the others made them feel a chill down their spines!
