After receiving the information, Xiao Shou noticed that aside from being labeled as an exceptional material, there was an additional description.
What did that an?
He looked at the flower in his hand.
It was about the size of his palm, crystal clear, with mysterious white patterns flowing across its surface.
Just staring at those patterns gave him a faint sense of insight as if he were about to comprehend sothing.
He found himself unable to look away, he turning it over and examining it carefully again and again.
"Haha, Master, stop... that tickles!"
At that mont, the bud trembled slightly.
A strand of consciousness gently touched Xiao Shou’s mind and transmitting that ssage.
He imdiately froze.
After two months of complete silence, the sudden voice startled him so much that his hand instinctively shook and he threw the Tier 5 Flower of Eternity away.
"Who’s there? What are you?"
"Ah, that hurts!"
After being tossed aside, the Flower of Eternity landed on the ground and trembled a few tis, it then slowly floated back up and hovered in front of Xiao Shou.
Its consciousness spoke again, sounding aggrieved.
"Master, I’m very delicate. Please handle gently."
"The Flower of Eternity... you can talk?"
So it had gained sentience?
Now he understood what "possessing strong spirituality" ant.
Aside from that initial shock, Xiao Shou quickly cald down.
After all, in his previous life, he had lived in an era flooded with information.
Movies, television, ani, novels... he had seen all kinds of strange creatures before.
At this point, it was hard for him to feel genuine fear.
Besides, the Flower of Eternity was extrely beautiful and its voice sounded like that of a child, neither clearly male nor female.
And it kept calling him "Master," which made it feel even less threatening.
"Why do you call Master?" Xiao Shou asked.
"I could talk as soon as I beca aware!" the childlike voice replied, sounding confused. "You are my Master. Do I need a reason?"
As it spoke, the Flower of Eternity floated down and landed in Xiao Shou’s hand.
"Master, don’t throw away again. Flying by myself is really tiring."
No reason?
Xiao Shou thought about it.
The Tier 5 Flower of Eternity had been created through his ability.
In a sense, he really was its creator.
So it was only natural for it to regard him as its master.
Understanding this, he stopped dwelling on the question and instead asked curiously, "Fine, I won’t throw you away. Tell what you can do. Don’t tell I’m supposed to use you for refining and turn you into an artifact spirit?"
"Master, you’re so an! How could you scare such a delicate flower like that? Boohoo..."
The Flower of Eternity made a few exaggerated sobbing sounds before continuing.
"I’m very useful! As long as you feed enough spiritual energy, my bud will absorb it and bloom into a beautiful flower filled with the power of ti."
"Inside my flower space, you can freely control the flow of ti."
"For example, Master, you can cultivate inside . I can adjust the ti flow up to ten thousand tis faster."
"I can also swallow your enemies into my space and accelerate or reverse their ti."
"And once I absorb enough nutrients and advance to Tier 6, I’ll beco even more powerful!"
"Enough spiritual energy? Roughly what kind of ratio... like how much energy is needed to sustain how much outside ti? And what effect does spending ti inside your internal space have on the human body?"
Hearing this, Xiao Shou suppressed his excitent and asked several questions in a row.
He wanted to clearly understand any drawbacks first.
Otherwise, rushing in recklessly and suffering heavy losses because of hidden side effects would not be worth it.
"Uh... inside my space, either I control it, or after Master forms a contract with , you can control the ti linkage between inside and outside yourself."
The Flower of Eternity sounded a bit embarrassed and guilty as it explained.
"If the connection is maintained, then the ti you spend inside is real in the outside world as well. That ans you are consuming your own lifespan."
"But if the connection is cut off, then when you enter my internal space... your own ti will be temporarily frozen by my innate ti laws."
It hesitated slightly before continuing.
"However, that mode consus a lot of spiritual energy. At the highest ratio of one to ten thousand, it costs about one top-grade spirit stone per day. That’s what my inherited knowledge says."
"One top-grade spirit stone per day?"
Xiao Shou thought about it.
That was actually acceptable.
Now that his ability had reached Tier 5, he should be able to fuse top-grade spirit stones.
He even began wondering what would happen if those were further upgraded.
Could they beco spirit jades that was used in higher realms?
That seed very likely.
His thoughts imdiately drifted off in that direction.
The Flower of Eternity, unaware of his tendency to zone out, thought he was dissatisfied with its high energy consumption.
The bud trembled, then suddenly transford into a tiny humanoid figure the size of a butterfly, with four translucent wings.
It crawled over and hugged Xiao Shou’s finger.
Its delicate little face blinked rapidly and tears welling up in its eyes but not quite falling.
While looking utterly pitiful, it said, "Master, please don’t dislike . Even though I’m a bit delicate and a little picky with what I eat, I’m actually very easy to take care of."
"Using may seem to consu a lot of energy, but compared to the benefits, it’s definitely worth it."
"Master, Master, Master... please don’t abandon ."
After he snapped out of his thoughts, Xiao Shou twitched at the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the Flower of Eternity, which seed to co with its own cuteness skill, he could not help but marvel at how it managed to keep its tears perfectly on the verge of falling.
