"Inside, isn't it stewing the flesh and blood of that Peak Realm Flood Dragon?"

Chen Zhixing remembered very clearly that the flesh and blood of the Flood Dragon were toxic. If one wanted to consume it, a large amount of Spirit Medicine was needed to neutralize the poison contained within the flesh and blood. The problem was that using a pot of random herbs to stew a piece of meat made it truly difficult to create a delicious dish!

But this willow tree now...

Without waiting for Chen Zhixing to speculate, the willow tree, which had been motionless, directly provided an answer.

"Let Little One come over, the stewing Cyan Wood Horn inside the cauldron is prepared for him."

A haunting female voice sounded in Chen Zhixing's ear, accompanied by the swaying of the trunk, making the skin and shed of the Flood Dragon on the tree appear even more hideous.

As soon as Chen Zhixing released Little Stone, he saw the fellow dart towards the bronze cauldron. With his disproportionately small hands, he lifted the lid that was three zhang wide and jumped into the cauldron to grab some meat...

"Ah woo, fragrant, delicious!"

While eating the meat, Little Stone waved at Chen Zhixing, seemingly hoping for him to come over and eat with him.

Chen Zhixing shook his head in refusal.

The Flood Dragon meat inside the cauldron might be highly invigorating, but considering his status, he didn't lack such nourishment. Compared to that, Chen Zhixing was more interested in how Divine Liu had managed to stew this Peak Realm Flood Dragon into the cauldron!

Even before Chen Zhixing could speak, Little Stone, who had been gesturing for him to come over for a while, suddenly dived headfirst into the cauldron. He then emerged carrying a giant tiger head, almost ten times his size, and bounced over to Chen Zhixing's side.

"Liger, eat, woo... big-brain tiger! Fragrant!"

Another Peak Realm White Tiger Great Demon's head!

Vaguely, Chen Zhixing felt something amiss. He recalled mentioning to the willow tree during his last visit that the tree couldn't defeat him, so it had to listen to him, didn't he?

Could it be that the tables were turning today?

Oh, he had brought the Profound Celestial Immortal Mirror with him, so there was nothing to worry about!

...

Chen Zhixing naturally would not partake in the tonic that Divine Liu had specifically prepared for Little Stone.

Watching his apprentice eat with such gusto.

To be honest, Chen Zhixing felt a bit envious.

But not much.

While Little Stone was eating, Chen Zhixing conversed with Divine Liu.

"I wonder if there's something you wish to instruct me, having summoned me from afar to Stone Village, Senior."

"This time, I won't threaten you, right?" Divine Liu's speech seemed somewhat hesitant.

"Senior must be joking; it was all for Little Stone's benefit. I apologize for any offense I may have caused before. I hope you can forgive me, Senior."

"Oh... don't say it... I can't beat... you... anymore... cunning... human..."

Why was this grand willow tree acting so erratically? Couldn't it speak normally!

After two attempts to reason politely, completely ignored by the willow tree, Chen Zhixing was somewhat annoyed.

Trying to be sincere with someone who responds indifferently... if given an opportunity, one should take it!!!

Snow Demon King's mark on the forehead emitted a radiant divine glow. At the same time, a mystical mirror with yin and yang hues slowly emerged behind Chen Zhixing, making him look like a Celestial Venerable deity.

At this moment, the front of the Profound Celestial Immortal Mirror was aimed directly at Divine Liu's main trunk.

Cold, aloof, eyes emitting divine light,

converting continuously between Yin Yang Life and Death!

"I don't quite understand what Senior is saying. Could Senior reorganize your words?"

Divine Liu: "..."

What to do if it suddenly doesn't want to speak anymore!

.....

"You mean, there's turmoil in the depths of the Northern Domain Ice Ocean, so these two demonic beasts ran ashore to hide, and you stewed them in the cauldron after they arrived at Stone Village?"

Divine Liu made a rustling sound as the leaves swayed.

"You say that more Great Demons are being driven to the shore?"

Rustling....

"You suspect that a Longevity Great Demon is awakening in the depths of the Ice Ocean?"

Rustling....

"Speak in human!"

"Mm...."

"Then, what do you intend to do?" Chen Zhixing frowned. He didn't believe the emergence of a Great Demon from the depths of the Ice Ocean would have any connection to him as the Master of the Southern Domain's Noble Family.

No matter how much chaos a Longevity Great Demon in the ice fields caused, once on shore, it was primarily the concern of other Noble Families. Moreover, the Three Great Sacred Lands were positioned between them, so the chaos shouldn't affect the Purple Gold Mountain in Jiangzhou, Southern Domain!

"I... wish to make a trade with you." The haunting female voice seemed somewhat lacking in confidence.

"What kind of trade."

"I... need some Plant Essence. You help me find it, and I'll exchange it with the demonic beasts crawling out of the Ice Ocean...."

Divine Liu felt its offer was somewhat thin. With the strength Chen Zhixing demonstrated, if he needed demonic beasts, he could hunt at the shores of the Arctic Ocean himself, without bothering to trade with it.

And then...

"What level of demonic beasts, the kind you stew in the cauldron?"

"This kind is few, lower level, many."

"How much Plant Essence do you need, and how is the exchange ratio calculated?"

"The more the better, it's up to you."

"Up to me? Are you saying I can give any amount?"

"Mm."

"Is there such a good deal?"

"..."

"Deal!"

Divine Liu: "???"

"I'll have someone transport Plant Essence over immediately. You prepare the demonic beasts for exchange, preferably alive. If not, dead ones will do, though the price will naturally be much lower, so aim to capture them alive as much as possible.... No problem, right?"

"No problem."

"Then it's settled!"

Chen Zhixing was extremely pleased with this kind of trade. Even if a Peak Realm demonic beast was dead, its remaining scales and skin could still be used to forge battle armor and Divine Weapons.

In comparison, Plant Essence might be scarce near the ice plains in the north, but in the south, it could be extracted from any big tree that had grown for centuries. Just have someone make a few trips to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, wander around more, and bring back a heap of it!

And the cost to the Chen Family for this was negligible, aside from being cautious of dissatisfaction from the Demon Race and Ancient Race living in the Hundred Thousand Mountains....
