Chapter 2030
In the Celestial Dipper Palace, the First Elder looked at Pavilion Master Kui Xiao and said, "Even though the Sevenstar Immortal Grass is the treasure of our sect, it has quite an eccentric temperament . It doesn't even pay much heed to you even though you are the head of our Sevenstar Pavilion . Is it possible that it will make a move on Elder Liu?"
The Sevenstar Immortal Grass had been around since the founding of the sect, and it had lived for several thousand years since then . Its long life had resulted in its haughty personality, such that it would not show much respect even toward the sect leader of each generation .
Considering how young Eldear Liu was, as well as the fact that his cultivation was only at the Heavenly True Immortal realm, would the immortal grass make things difficult for him?
"It's not as if you have never interacted with the immortal grass before . It's just a little playful . After it's had its fun, it will release its soul-nurturing energy . " Pavilion Master Kui chuckled softly . "Considering Elder Liu's achievements despite his young age, it's inevitable that he might get a little complacent . Facing a small hiccup here and there will be good for building his character, and it will be helpful for tempering his soul . "
"I see . " the First Elder nodded slowly in agreement .
However, Elder Hong Wu was still a little worried about the matter . "I don't think that there's too much of a problem for the immortal grass to tease Elder Liu . What I am afraid of is that Elder Liu might destroy the immortal grass out of rage . That would really be a catastrophe!"
Even though it had not been long since he met this young man, he knew that the other party was not an easy character to deal with .
Otherwise, the other party would not have defeated all of them so easily back in the Ethereal Hall .
"Rest assured . The Sevenstar Immortal Grass has lived for several thousand years, and it resides in the area where the energies in the Sevenstar Pavilion converge . Even I would be unable to capture it, let alone the Heavenly True Immortal realm Elder Liu . In the entire Forsaken Continent, other than Hall Master Kong, I can think of no other person who possesses the capability to harm the immortal grass!" Pavilion Master Kui stroked his beard as he spoke .
The Sevenstar Pavilion consisted of seven major palaces, and these palaces occupied corresponded to the positions of the seven stars . The center of the seven stars was the Polaris, which corresponded to the courtyard where the immortal grass resided .
While the immortal grass had been nourishing everyone in the Sevenstar Palace, at the same time, the spirit, mind, and psyche of everyone in the Sevenstar Palace were nourishing it as well . This was also how a mere plant like itself was able to reach Heavenly High Immortal-tier .
Hearing those words, Elder Hong Wu heaved a sigh of relief .
If even a Semi-Divinity realm expert like the pavilion master was unable to capture the Sevenstar Immortal Grass, the others would stand even less of a chance .
"Nevertheless, just to be safe, I discreetly left a Communication Jade Token that's directly connected to a Record Crystal inside the courtyard . It will allow me to view what's going on in there in the form of a recording, so if anything does happen, we'll be able to intervene right away," Pavilion Master Kui said with a chuckle .
With a flick of his wrist, he took out a Record Crystal and infused his zhenqi into it . Brilliance immediately glowed before a scene rose from the Record Crystal, revealing the bare outline of the courtyard .
However, the scenery was completely cloaked with mist, leaving them still unable to discern what was happening within .
"This is . . . an Isolation Formation?" Pavilion Master Kui Xiao was stunned .
He had done this before in the past, and such a situation had never happened before . For the connection to be abruptly terminated . . . could this be Liu Yang's doing?
But this should not be! There were many formations cast over the courtyard, such that overlapping an Isolation Formation on top of it was no easy feat . Even he would have to take a long time studying the existing formations in order to figure out a feasible way to set up another Isolation Formation there! How did the other party manage to do it?
Furthermore, it had not been long since they had left the courtyard .
This was way too fast!
"We won't be able to see what's happening inside with the Isolation Formation around the area . Most likely, Elder Liu doesn't want us to see him embarrassing himself inside . . . " Pavilion Master Kui Xiao sighed deeply as he moved to keep the Record Crystal back into his storage ring .
However, the First Elder suddenly exclaimed with a grave expression at that moment .
"Look, the mist is moving!"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao glanced over to the recording once more, and indeed, the mist was drifting around . It was apparent that there was some kind of fight occurring behind the veil of mist .
Vaguely, they could see cracks appearing on the ground, and the crisp chirping of a young chick could be heard as well . Surges of energy were gushing around the area . It was apparent with a look that it was an extremely intense battle .
"This . . . "
The First Elder and Elder Hong Wu glanced at one another in bewilderment .
They knew that the immortal grass was playful; they had gone through that themselves . But . . . what was with the chirping of the young chick?
Did Elder Liu bring a chick in as well?
Seeing the facial expressions of the other two, Pavilion Master Kui Xiao chuckled softly, "Don't worry, the immortal grass won't go so far as to harm Elder Liu . . . "
But before he could finish his words, the mist suddenly parted slightly, revealing the scene within to them . . .
With a napkin placed neatly before his chest, a young man was seated on the ground with a pair of chopsticks in his hands . There was a campfire and a metal pot in front of him . The water in the metal pot was already boiling, and within the water, they could see a stalk of Sevenstar Immortal Grass turning completely red due to the high heat .
It was being cooked .
The Sevenstar Immortal Grass struggled with all its might, trying to escape from the pot, but a little yellow chick floating amid the boiling water as well would peck it down every time it tried something .
Eventually, the immortal grass simply stopped struggling at all . As if cooked seaweed, it drifted around the pot lifelessly . It was a surprisingly sad sight .
The young man flicked his wrist and took out a small bowl . In there, he added sesame oil, salt, chili paste, peanuts, vinegar, and a few other seasonings before mixing them well . After that, he plucked out a leaf from the immortal grass, dipped it into his specially crafted homemade sauce, and swallowed it with gusto .
A moment of silence lingered among Pavilion Master Kui and the others as their eyes slowly widened into bulging circles .
"No, this won’t do…Quick, we need to save the immortal grass!"
It took a while before they finally recovered from their shock, and they quickly rushed out of the hall .
In the blink of an eye, they arrived back at the courtyard . There, they saw the furiously sweating Zhang Xuan .
"You came just in time . Come, join me! It doesn't taste too bad . " Zhang Xuan stood up and passed them a pair of chopsticks warmly .
