After saying this, the little one transmitted a simple thod for controlling stray thoughts to Xiao Shou.
Then it fiddled with its fingers, blinked shyly, and said, "Master, I don’t like being called ’little guy.’ Can you give a nicer na? Look at , I’m so delicate and cute. I should have a na that matches ."
Xiao Shou had just learned to control his thoughts and hearing this almost made him lose focus.
This little thing had actually taken his casual nickna as a real na.
While suppressing his laughter, he teased, "You don’t like that na? Then how about Xiaohua?"
"Master, can we pick another one? I don’t really like ’Xiaohua’..." The tiny spirit blinked expectantly at him.
Xiao Shou nodded, barely holding back his amusent, and said with a mischievous tone, "Then how about Xiaobai?"
"I’m not white at all! I’m crystal clear and transparent..."
The little one seriously showed off its wings.
"Master, look..."
Xiao Shou saw its teary expression and, even knowing it was acting, he could not bear to tease it further.
With a hint of regret, he said, "Then let’s call you Yao Heng. It’s ant a beautiful flower of eternity. How about that?"
The little spirit imdiately let out a huge sigh of relief and patted its tiny chest.
"Thank you, Master, for giving a na. From now on, I’m Yao Heng! Master can call Yaoyao. It sounds even nicer that way."
Xiao Shou chuckled.
What a strange little creature, a flower so obsessed with nas.
He could not help but laugh.
Las he lfting it gently, he said, "Since we’ve ford a contract, let’s introduce ourselves properly. My na is Xiao Shou. I’m just a Qi Refining stage cultivator."
"I... I’m Yao Heng, a Tier 5 Flower of Eternity. I like all beautiful things and only eat things that contain spatial power. Right now, my favorite food is Ice Heart Tree... but none of that is more important than Master. I like Master the most!"
Yao Heng’s tiny wings trembled as it spoke nervously and excitedly.
After finishing, it turned around shyly, too embarrassed to look at him.
Hearing this, Xiao Shou paused for a mont, then felt a warmth in his heart.
This little one was just like Young’er, always saying sweet and comforting things.
But he would not be fooled that easily.
While straightening his expression, he took a deep breath and said seriously, "Only eating things with spatial power... is that what you ant by being a little picky?"
"Uh..."
Yao Heng hesitated while fiddling with its fingers shyly as it said, "It’s just my nature. I can’t help it! Master, Master, you’re the best. You definitely won’t let your beautiful, cute, tiny, and delicate spirit pet go hungry, right?"
Xiao Shou smiled faintly and said in a gentle tone that was clearly forced, "Sigh, I also want to be a good master. Unfortunately, my ability is lacking. I can’t cut down Ice Heart Tree, so I can’t prepare food for you."
He raised his hand helplessly and looked at Yao Heng.
"Can’t you eat normal food? Like als or fertilizer?"
"Why wouldn’t I be able to cut it?" Yao Heng blinked in confusion. "Ice Heart Tree is soft and fluffy. There is nothing softer than it. Even soone as delicate as can eat it. It’s such a gentle existence!"
Then it suddenly clapped its hands.
"Oh! I forgot to share my lifespan inheritance and knowledge with Master!"
"Look, my inheritance clearly says Ice Heart Tree is very soft and very sweet, right?"
Before Xiao Shou could react, Yao Heng directly transmitted a massive amount of inheritance information into his mind.
His head imdiately buzzed.
It felt like it was about to explode.
Countless pieces of information erupted in his consciousness, giving him the illusion that his head might split open the next second.
Perhaps sensing the danger, or perhaps as an instinct, the seal within his Sea of Consciousness from the Hidden Spirit Returning Soul Art activated on its own.
It automatically absorbed most of the incoming information, relieving the pressure.
Only a small portion remained, which Xiao Shou was able to process normally.
This remaining information was all related to Flower of Eternity and the laws of ti.
It turned out that all things in the world coexisted in mutual opposition and support.
Where there was light, there was darkness.
Where there was black, there was white.
Where there was righteousness, there was evil.
They all existed in balance and opposition.
The sa applied to space and ti, which were domains beyond the reach of most cultivators.
Neither space nor ti seed to have clear counterasures.
But in reality, space and ti were deeply intertwined and mutually restraining.
Just like Flower of Eternity, which contained ti laws, and Ice Heart Tree, which contained spatial laws.
They absorbed and depended on each other.
Flower of Eternity had roots and seeds, but they were invisible to the naked eye.
Only when Flower of Eternity and Ice Heart Tree seeds were planted together would ti and space intertwine, allowing them to sprout.
Flower of Eternity would absorb spatial power from Ice Heart Tree and grow within its trunk, eventually breaking through the bark and blooming delicate flowers.
anwhile, Ice Heart Tree would absorb the ti power from Flower of Eternity in order to grow properly.
Both were long-lived spiritual plants with extrely slow growth cycles.
Typically, it took ten thousand years to take root, ten thousand years to sprout, ten thousand years to grow, ten thousand years to bloom, ten thousand years to bear fruit, and ten thousand years to mature.
Each Ice Heart Tree could only produce a single fruit.
The flesh of the fruit could nourish and purify spatial spiritual roots.
The seed inside, after the fruit was consud was the Ice Heart Tree’s own seed.
Flower of Eternity were the sa.
However, after consuming their fruit flesh, they would nourish the ti spiritual root.
