Bab couldn’t resist it anymore. It kept jumping up and down in front of Ye Xiao, pointing at Ye Xiao with its two wings.
“You just showed me the pure purple qi, yet you don’t allow me to have it! What the hell are you doing?”
“I have worked so hard to have my pure spiritual qi! Why should I give it to you?” Ye Xiao said, “You are not my bird anyway!”
When he said so, it reminded him Fang Wudi, and he felt embarrassed.
‘You are not my bird…’
‘Holy hell…’
‘Why am I talking like Fang Wudi now?’
“You know how precious my pure spiritual qi is, don’t you?” Ye Xiao said.
Bab showed a complicated facial expression with its two small eyes rolling up and down.
‘Of course, I know it well! That is why I just lost my elegance! I am the best spiritual plant in the world. I am at the top of the system. None of the dan beads, medicinal materials, or spiritual qi in the world means anything to me. However, your purple qi is actually purer than the first sunray purple qi and the ancient times’ purple qi… When it healed my wounds, I saw how splendid it was… This is something I want the most… You saw how it helps me! Why didn’t you show this to me earlier? I would have rushed over to you long ago! Why go through those dan beads and medicinal materials things? Do you really have to?’
It kept making facial expressions to Ye Xiao, which made it look really like a man, and it slightly scared Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao knew that the bird was giving in, and he was excited, but he held it down and said, “If you promise you will follow me with loyalty, I can provide this spiritual qi to you from time to time.”
The bird was silent.
‘I absolutely should agree with this, but I must pretend to hesitate, so he may offer me more good things!’
“Relax. I am not Fang Wudi. He wanted to eat you. If he knew who you were, he would have eaten you already. I am different. You don’t mean that much to me. My martial art is good enough to prove me right.”
Ye Xiao took the chance to condemn Fang Wudi again. He said, “I knew what you were, but I never wanted to eat you. I don’t want you to eat you, and I won’t eat you. Is that enough respect for you?”
The bird was still silent.
‘What is wrong with this man? Why can’t he see the real problem here? I decided to say yes when you showed me the purple qi… I just want more of the purple qi… Why waste time saying all these useless words? Just make a clear offer and I will say yes. Stop the useless words because they bring me hope! What do you think I should say now?’
“Come on, Bab. You know, spiritual plants and human beings all want to become stronger.” Ye Xiao said, “Especially you. You have become a living creature, and you can cultivate yourself… I can help you.”
The bird’s eyes were shining, and it still didn’t say a word!
‘Just cut the nonsense and do it! Burst the purple qi out, and I will make a vow! Why don’t you just decide? Why don’t you make the final offer now? Why?’
Ye Xiao said, “I think you can understand. You are the world’s best spiritual plant. I know that. However, you don’t have a good energy source. It isn’t pure. It is not the original energy of the world. You do understand, don’t you?”
“Chirp, chirp, chirp…” The bird raised up its head. “Of course I do. If I have the original energy of the world, do you think you could catch me?”
‘Stop showing off… Your purple qi is the purest energy source in the world!’
“So, even if I eat you, I can get no more than hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation.” Ye Xiao said, “However, it seems to be a lot, but it also brings me setbacks in the future. I will have to pay for every bit of the energy I get from you since the first day of decades in the future…
“Nobody can reach the top of the sky with one step. There is always a limit to the length between two legs… Reaching the top with one step means breaking the two legs apart…
“If I get the outer energy to boost myself up, I would have to go through life and death for decades and torture myself for decades to find the balance of my power. What do you think?” Ye Xiao said.
The bird nodded, but it didn’t understand why Ye Xiao kept talking about these big inspirations.
‘Can’t you just show me the purple qi again and let me get myself down to you? I only care about how much you can offer me! I know you don’t want to eat me. I know you won’t boil me, or stew me, or chew me… I understand… Why waste time?’
“I know that you understand why people make dan beads in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. The art of dan making is to combine two materials together, to create a new efficacy. The best way to create efficacy of cultivation increase was to purify the efficacy to make it as much close to the original energy source as possible… That would make the best efficacy!”
‘Holy hell… What the hell is wrong with this man? Why does he talk about dan making? I… This is unbelievable!’
The bird was so upset, and it really didn’t know what to say now!
“Okay, now. Let’s talk about my offer. First, if you follow me, I will give you as many dan beads as you want. Because you are with me, the dan beads will become better, so I will make some dan beads that are one hundred times better than those I just showed you.”
The bird’s heart was beating even faster now. The supreme dan bead Ye Xiao gave the bird didn’t work well, but it still had made a bit of difference. Supreme dan beads still meant something to the bird, unlike the ordinary dan beads. If Ye Xiao could give it some dan beads that were one hundred times better, the bird would happily take them. Ye Xiao said it was the first, which meant there was at least a second. The bird wanted to say yes, but it decided to wait!
“Second, if you follow me, I will give you a lot of chances to become stronger. You will have a lot of companions who will protect you and stay with you… You know who they are.”
The bird’s eyes were rolling. It remembered the cat and the hawk.
‘Well, those are two powerful companions… If they don’t want to eat me and just play with me, it should be fun…’
