The First Immortal of Destiny-Chapter 500 Fairy Flower Valley_1
Shen Mo hadn’t forgotten that these exquisitely beautiful beings from the Outer Zone had been continuously collecting rare flowers, peculiar grasses, sacred trees, and other spiritual plants since their arrival, transplanting them into the Fairy Flower Valley.
He estimated that, presently, the variety of spiritual medicine in the Fairy Flower Valley was comparable to that in the Jade Pool Dungeon!
Before setting off to the Dragon Fall Abyss, Shen Mo wanted to attempt a trade with these neighbors.
「Fifty li southeast of the Fairy Flower Valley.」
Shen Mo hovered in the air above a hill, quietly waiting for the Flower Fairies he had dealt with before to enter or exit the forbidden land.
He didn’t dare get too close. Judging from past experiences, once he approached within forty to fifty li of Fairy Flower Valley, he would feel waves of heart palpitations and panic, yet his [Chanjue] Destiny gave no immediate warning. It was clearly a warning from the powerful experts within Fairy Flower Valley, urging him to keep his distance.
Moreover, with Shen Mo’s current cultivation, anyone capable of striking fear into his heart merely with an elusive aura and presence had to be at least an entire major Realm above him. This meant they were at the peak of Class IV or even Class V.
It wasn’t that Shen Mo couldn’t afford to offend them; even if the four patriarchs of the Riverside Sect were gathered, they would have to retreat respectfully, giving them a wide berth!
Fortunately, Flower Fairies, being creatures from the Outer Zone, were inherently gentle and kind. Even if the top experts of their clan were displeased by his proximity, they initially only warned him with their aura and didn’t immediately try to eliminate him. This earned Shen Mo’s goodwill...
Currently, the forbidden lands scattered throughout the Red Flame Zone weren’t as overtly destructive as the Foreign Realm Demons. However, any unwary cultivators who drew too close would immediately face mortal peril.
For Shen Mo, staying a little farther away posed no significant problem.
Given the coverage of his **sense**, he could detect any Flower Fairies he recognized, whether they were leaving Fairy Flower Valley or returning with transplanted spiritual plants. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
He waited for half a day, during which more than a dozen Flower Fairies entered and exited the forbidden land of Fairy Flower Valley.
However, their Realms were only around the early to middle-stages of Class III. Upon sensing Shen Mo’s presence, they would immediately flap their three pairs of transparent wings and hurriedly flit away in panic, preferring to take a detour rather than make contact with him. Shen Mo had pondered this and suspected it was related to the difference in their strength and Realm.
Although Flower Fairies were gentle and kind, they were not without a sense of caution. When encountering beings stronger than themselves, they would naturally become somewhat alert and defensive. However, when facing weaker creatures, they would display a much warmer and friendlier attitude!
The Flower Fairies who weren’t particularly afraid of Shen Mo were those he had interacted with before. Most of them were powerful individuals at the late-stage or peak of Class III. Being stronger, they were less averse to contact with him. This was quite understandable!
Never mind the Flower Fairies; if Shen Mo himself encountered an unknown, stronger individual, he too would be extremely wary.
After waiting another two Shichen, as the sky began to darken, Shen Mo’s five senses and **sense** finally detected a small, familiar figure flapping her wings and flying out from Fairy Flower Valley.
It seemed she was heading to another region to search for rare flowers and peculiar grasses.
Instantly, Shen Mo’s **sense** flickered, conveying his thoughts to her.
FLUTTER! FLUTTER!
This Flower Fairy flapped her wings and flew towards Shen Mo.
When such creatures flew at full speed, they would stimulate a unique kind of Mana within their bodies, similar to a cultivator’s True Yuan. This Mana would form bright patterns on their wings, resembling a radiant streak of light, like a firefly, as it swept towards him. Their flight speed was also slightly faster than that of cultivators at the same Realm!
The Flower Fairy before him was merely at the late-stage of Class III, yet she reached Shen Mo’s side in only twelve or thirteen breaths.
"Moro Shen, what do you need from me?"
The Flower Fairy’s voice was as crisp and pleasant as wind chimes.
Although it was a language from the Outer Zone, augmented by her Divine Sense, Shen Mo could precisely understand the meaning of her words.
Moro, in the Flower Fairy language system, meant friend, good friend, or even sibling. It was similar to how humans might use terms like ’Shen,’ ’Brother [Name],’ or ’Sister [Name].’
Hearing the Flower Fairy’s question, Shen Mo smiled and greeted her, his voice carrying a wisp of Divine Sense, "Miss Mi, long time no see! I’ve come this time not only to greet you and the other Flower Fairies I haven’t seen in a while, but also to ask about something... Is your Flower Fairy clan interested in a trade with me concerning rare flowers and peculiar grasses?"
Mi was the name of the Flower Fairy before Shen Mo, meaning ’as beautiful as a flower.’ Although it was a bit of a tongue-twister for Shen Mo to pronounce, it didn’t hinder Flower Fairy Mi’s understanding! However, addressing her as "Miss" was, strictly speaking, somewhat inappropriate.
According to Mi and a few other Flower Fairies, their clan had no gender distinction. Every Flower Fairy was born from the Mother Tree. Each year, the Mother Tree would blossom and bear fruit. When a fruit ripened and split open, a Flower Fairy would fly out!
Because of this, the meaning of "Moro" in their language system was rather peculiar. It meant friend as well as sibling. Judging from the term’s meaning, it didn’t differentiate between male and female, so one couldn’t determine if it implied ’brother’ or ’sister.’ However, because the Flower Fairies’ physical appearance leaned towards that of exceptionally beautiful human women, Shen Mo had subconsciously perceived them as female when he first interacted with them, hence his use of "Miss." Whether it was Mi or other Flower Fairies Shen Mo had dealt with, they understood the meaning of "Miss" through Divine Sense. Far from being displeased, they were actually exceptionally fond of this address. Thus, Shen Mo had never changed how he addressed them!
"What kind of rare flowers and peculiar grasses are they? Can I take a look?" Flower Fairy Mi, clearly intrigued, continuously flitted around Shen Mo, flapping her wings.
Immediately, Shen Mo handed the jade slip recording the list of spiritual plants to Mi.
This was something he had organized and prepared in advance. The jade slip contained information about all the spiritual plants within the Jade Pool Dungeon, including their local names, appearances, detailed seasonal changes, scents, colors, medicinal properties, growing environments, and so on. All of them were extraordinary spiritual plants, not the common weeds or ordinary trees found everywhere, thus meeting the Flower Fairies’ collection criteria.
Shen Mo knew that these beings from the Outer Zone, the Flower Fairies, were exceptionally obsessed with collecting rare flowers, peculiar grasses, and sacred trees. They showed little interest in other things, including Spirit Stones, magic, cultivation methods, magic treasures, and many other spiritual items. During past interactions, they had inadvertently revealed some information.
Combining these pieces of information, Shen Mo speculated... The abundance of extraordinary spiritual plants might be directly related to the proliferation and survival of the Flower Fairy clan, as well as the growth of an individual’s strength!
Therefore, he had no intention of trying to use other items to trade with the Flower Fairies for spiritual grass or spiritual medicine.
Only the spiritual medicine from the Jade Pool Dungeon could truly tempt them. Perhaps he could trade for other types of spiritual plants from the Fairy Flower Valley, or even rare flowers and peculiar grasses from the Outer Zone!
