Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 185: Divine Grass


Subsequently, Chu Mo jumped to the top of the dragon nest and looked down. The inside of the dragon nest, resembling a deep valley, was very clean. In the middle of the dragon nest lay a lot of soft grass, and a few lush green plants sprouted from within.

The divine mirror of heaven, in Chu Mo's possession, emitted continuous heat as if to remind him.

In fact, even without the jade's reminder, Chu Mo could sense that the few green plants growing in the middle of the dragon nest were definitely valuable treasures!

Not just because they were growing in the dragon nest.

Rather they were able to grow peacefully under the terrifying aura of the dragon nest and alongside the aggressive divine vines that constituted the nest. Who would believe these were ordinary plants?

The rooster noticed Chu Mo's gaze landing on the few green plants, and with a twinkle in its eye, he said, "So, are you interested in those sacred grasses? Hey, those are seeds from the Heavenly Realm. They attached themselves to the Azure Dragon and were brought into this world. Now they have rooted and sprouting, once they fully grow... they will be unparalleled sacred grasses! How about ten fishes for a sacred grass?"

"Is the grass yours?" Chu Mo glanced at the rooster.

The rooster glared at Chu Mo: "Young man, be decent! Don't be so heartless! Whether or not this sacred grass is mine, remember, I just helped you, right?"

Chu Mo nodded: "That's right."

"Then do you still have the audacity to haggle terms with me?" The rooster said in aggrieved tone. "After that bastard Azure Dragon ran off, I have guarded this place for countless years and carefully cultivated them…"

"..." Chu Mo looked at the rooster with an expression of speechlessness, and then asked, "Rooster, tell me the truth, what is so good about these fishes?"

After some hesitation, the rooster reluctantly said, "These fish, in your Four Symbols Continent world, are known as Heavenly Pond Dragon Fish, are top-quality ingredients. They have the power to cure all illnesses and detoxify, and more importantly, each one of them can add fifty years to one's life expectancy, virtually without any limit."

"That's amazing!" exclaimed Chu Mo in surprise. He had not expected these grimy, unimpressive, scaleless fish to possess such magical life-extending properties.

Moreover, a single fish could add fifty years to one's life. Ten of them... wouldn't that be five hundred years? If he could keep eating them, wouldn't that mean he could achieve immortality?

This is not an ordinary fish... this is, in fact, a divine panacea!

"Of course, it's not that exaggerated, according to my research, these fish should enable people to extend their life expectancy by about 1,500 years in the Four Symbols Continent. That is to say, after thirty fish, consuming more will no longer have an effect," the rooster explained.

"1,500 years… that's still quite exaggerated, isn't it?" Chu Mo looked at the rooster, "Do you realize, the Great Xia Empire where I live... has only been established for around a thousand years!"

The rooster disdainfully turned its head away: "The mundane world... what's the point of comparing it to your world?"

"One fish adds fifty years, thirty fishes add 1,500 years..." Chu Mo muttered to himself with a smirk, counting the fish that he had adopted. Then, he happily declared, "There are seventy-eight of them! Haha, I'm rich!"

"More than seventy fishes!" The rooster's eyes turned red, and it hollered, "Quickly share half with me! I'll give you all the sacred grasses! Boy, you're so lucky, the dragon fishes you adopted are virtually the entirety of the mountain's population! I, the rooster, have been painstakingly tracking these creatures for countless years, and I've only managed to eat just over a thousand…"

Chu Mo's mouth twitched, his eyes widened, and he looked at the rooster, "Over a thousand…?"

The rooster laughed awkwardly, "Haha... it's just a small snack for the rooster. I've been able to feed on these over the past several thousand years; it's really very little."

"You still haven't told me, what were these fish like… when they were in the Heavenly Realm?" Chu Mo stared at the rooster and probed.

"In the Heavenly Realm… actually, it was nothing special, they were just a bit stronger and hardy. Seriously!" The rooster tried hard to keep a serious and honest face, but the rolling of its eyes gave away its true thoughts.

"If you want to eat fish, think about how you will negotiate with me!" Chu Mo said, and then jumped towards the depths of the dragon nest.

Then he walked to the sacred grass. But before he could even act, the few sacred grasses actually flew up by themselves and flew into the jade in Chu Mo's chest.

The rooster who jumped down right after was stunned. It stared hard at Chu Mo's chest, took a deep breath, and said with narrowed eyes, "Young man, your storage space... is quite impressive! Even the divine grass from the Heavenly Realm...can't wait to jump in. Can you let me have a look?"

Chu Mo looked vigilantly at the rooster, "Don't even think about it!"

"The divine mirror of heaven..." The rooster extended a wing, pointing at Chu Mo, "Young man... you are really dishonest! The rooster's judgment is never wrong. That thing must be on you!"

Chu Mo rolled his eyes in denial, "What divine mirror of heaven, I don't know what you're talking about. Rooster, are you planning to murder and rob?"

The rooster candidly nodded, "The rooster indeed has such plans!"

"..." Chu Mo was left speechless.

The rooster's eyes showed a struggling expression. It said, "You simply do not understand what the divine mirror of heaven means to the living creatures of this world! You humans have inherent advantages and stand at the apex of all beings in the practice of cultivation! But for us to practice cultivation, it's full of difficulties, and whenever we reach a major boundary, we encounter great calamities. Hence, some shelters and top-class medicinal materials are especially important to us! But where are the genuine refuges and top-class medicinal materials... so easy to find? But if the divine mirror of heaven is at hand... all this would become much easier!"

Chu Mo didn't say anything, he just watched the rooster calmly.

The rooster's eyes rolled around, seemingly thinking about a scheme. After a long time, it dropped its head dejectedly and said, "The rooster's realm, in this world, is also suppressed too severely. I can only rely on these fishes to sustain my life. But these fish have lost their effect from the Heavenly realm, the rooster's strength... has been diminishing year after year. Now, even though I still have the realm of the grandmaster. But it's completely suppressed by the Heaven Slaying in your hand... it's damn frustrating. Now I really envy the people of your world, at least... because they are so ordinary, they don't feel the murderous intent from this blade, and they are not as afraid of it."

"So what?" Chu Mo gazed calmly at the rooster.

"You have the fishes that the rooster needs, and you have the divine mirror of heaven..." The rooster said sadly, "Since I can't rob you... other than following you, it seems the rooster doesn't have a second choice."

"You didn't even ask me if I am willing to have you follow me?" Chu Mo looked at the rooster with a frown, "If you were in my shoes, would you be willing to have someone eyeing your belongings follow you around every day?"

"Is the rooster the kind of chicken who doesn't keep his word?" The rooster immediately jumped up, but then it lowered its head and said dejectedly, "It seems… to keep my word regarding the divine mirror of heaven, is really quite difficult." (To be continued.
