"Clang clang!"
On Azure Peak of Moonflower Holy Land, Little Phoenix, Ten Leaves, and Hu Yifei, an odd trio, were gathered together.
Hu Yifei curiously gazed at Ten Leaves, who was only a foot tall, and couldn't resist poking Ten Leaves' leaves with his hand, only to be whipped by Ten Leaves' leaves.
"Ouch!"
Hu Yifei cried out in pain, staring wide-eyed at Ten Leaves. He hadn't expected that a mere blade of grass, with just a gentle touch, could cause him such intense pain.
In truth, Ten Leaves had already tried its best to control its power. After all, it wasn't just a celestial herb now, but possessed the body of one while essentially wielding the power of a True Immortal. A little force could have blasted Hu Yifei into pieces.
However, Ten Leaves knew that this young man had a close relationship with its mistress, so it didn't strike with full force.
"Boy, don't be so rude!" Ten Leaves warned.
In Ten Leaves' view, its leaves were part of its body, and Hu Yifei's touch was simply too impolite, which was why it lashed out.
"It can even talk? Goodness gracious, are you really a blade of grass?" Hu Yifei was seeing a talking blade of grass for the first time. He had never seen a talking blade of grass before, let alone spiritual herbs or sacred herbs, which usually didn't even have complete intelligence. Even divine herbs couldn't speak, only transmit thoughts.
The only ones that could talk were celestial herbs.
"I am a celestial grass, equivalent to what you know as a celestial herb, but I am much stronger than a celestial herb," Ten Leaves said proudly. Celestial herbs could only flee when facing a Supreme, but it possessed the cultivation of a True Immortal. Even when facing a True Immortal, it was confident it could kill them.
"Really? Then can your juice make someone become an immortal on the spot?" Hu Yifei's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.
"No," Ten Leaves replied.
"Then can you help me quickly comprehend the Great Dao?" Hu Yifei was still unwilling to give up. Celestial herbs had many effects: enhancing cultivation, prolonging life, saving lives, and assisting in enlightenment, they had everything.
"No," Ten Leaves replied again.
"Then can you prolong life?" Hu Yifei asked again.
"No. Why are you asking all these questions, kid?" Ten Leaves was getting annoyed by the boy's endless questions.
"Tch, you can't do this, you can't do that, yet you claim to be stronger than a celestial herb. I think you're just a talking weed," Hu Yifei said with a face full of disdain. He had thought Ten Leaves would be a celestial herb with powerful effects, but it had greatly disappointed him.
"My strength is greater than a celestial herb," Ten Leaves felt insulted. In the past, everyone who encountered it wanted to take it for themselves; it was a divine herb sought after by the world.
Hu Yifei, a kid with low cultivation, actually looked down on it, which it couldn't tolerate.
"Even if you're strong, are you stronger than my brother-in-law?" Hu Yifei directly brought up Gu Changsheng.
"..." Ten Leaves.
He directly brought up the master, what could it say?
"Anyway, I'm stronger than you," this was Ten Leaves' last bit of stubbornness.
Poor Ten Leaves, it had lived for who knows how long, but it was completely defeated by Hu Yifei in words.
This was not its fault, after all, Hu Yifei was only the third person it had ever communicated with.
"Clang clang!"
At this moment, Little Phoenix spoke, wondering what Hu Yifei wanted.
Hu Yifei knew what it meant, but he hesitated.
"No, no, if Big Sister Head finds out I'm giving you alcohol again, she will definitely kill me," Hu Yifei shook his head.
"Clang clang!"
Little Phoenix looked at Ten Leaves.
"Are you saying it wants to drink? It's a blade of grass, can it even drink?" Hu Yifei looked at Little Phoenix and Ten Leaves suspiciously, wondering if Little Phoenix was using Ten Leaves to trick him. If Ten Leaves could transform into a human and drink, he would believe it, but he knew Ten Leaves hadn't transformed, how could it drink?
Stick its roots into the wine to absorb it? Wouldn't that be wasting the wine!
And Ten Leaves was also a little confused. When did it say it wanted to drink? But when it saw Little Phoenix's eyes, it instantly understood what it meant.
So its leaves nodded up and down, saying, "It's none of your business how I drink it, just bring it out and I can drink it."
Hu Yifei still looked at the bird and the grass with suspicion. He still didn't believe that a blade of grass could drink alcohol. But he was also curious about how Ten Leaves would drink, so he took out his treasured century-old spiritual wine.
"This is my century-old treasured Firestorm Wine, the taste is definitely spicy enough, you mustn't waste it."
Hu Yifei included Little Phoenix in his warning. He could naturally see through Little Phoenix's little thoughts, which were to use Ten Leaves as a shield.
"There's wine but no cups, how are we supposed to drink?"
If Ten Leaves had eyes, Hu Yifei didn't know how many eye rolls he would have received.
"A blade of grass actually needs a cup to drink, it's truly a sight to behold," Hu Yifei babbled on, but he still took out three wine cups, one for himself, one for Little Phoenix, and one for Ten Leaves.
Not only that, but he also filled the cups with wine, wanting to see how a blade of grass would drink.
But the next moment, he was dumbfounded.
He saw Ten Leaves gently wave a leaf, and the wine in the cup instantly turned into heaven and earth spiritual energy, which was then absorbed by Ten Leaves.
"This heaven and earth spiritual energy is a bit spicy!"
Ten Leaves said.
"I... is that what you call drinking? You're refining the wine, aren't you?"
Hu Yifei's eyes widened like copper bells. Turning wine into heaven and earth spiritual energy was a very common method; even a newbie who had just started cultivating could do it.
But was this drinking? Absolutely not!
"It's none of your business!" Ten Leaves said in a very proud tone. "It feels pretty good, no wonder Little Phoenix likes it too. Come on, kid, pour me another cup."
"Clang clang!"
Little Phoenix's tone was also full of pride.
And Hu Yifei reluctantly poured another cup of wine for Ten Leaves, sighing inwardly. He had actually hoped that a blade of grass could drink normally; he was wrong. No matter how strong this blade of grass was, it was not human and had no mouth or nose.
"Have you guys been in Brightmoon Immortal Domain all these years?"
Hu Yifei asked.
At this moment, Little Phoenix, transformed into a sparrow, stood on the table, constantly pecking at the wine in the cup like a chick pecking at rice. Hearing Hu Yifei's words, it didn't make a sound, but the pecking motion sped up, as if nodding.
"Things haven't been peaceful outside recently, and even our Moonflower Holy Land has forbidden disciples from going out. You guys have to be careful."
Although he knew Gu Changsheng was strong, Hu Yifei couldn't help but remind them.
Little did he know that the chaos in Brightmoon Immortal Domain had a great relationship with Little Phoenix and Ten Leaves. However, after Little Phoenix and Ten Leaves returned from Mang Mountain, they had been staying in the Holy Land of Vegetables. This time, Little Phoenix begged Gu Changsheng to let it out to play, which was why it was able to leave the Holy Land of Vegetables, so they didn't know anything about the chaos outside.
Naturally, they didn't know that they had become the primary targets of the Sun Moon Sect.
"Let me tell you, in the years that Big Sister Head has been gone, I have been cultivating very hard. I must say, the pills that Brother-in-law gave me are really magical. After refining them, I even awakened some Wood Virtue Spiritual Body. The old man said it was a special physique and told me to just cultivate by taking pills, that there would be no side effects. But who am I? I am Big Sister Head's little brother, how can I become a pill-popping waste? Don't look at the old man becoming an Immortal King, I think he's still misleading people, I won't listen to him, I want to cultivate hard and become a strong person on my own. Popping pills? What's that..."
Hu Yifei didn't care whether Little Phoenix and Ten Leaves were annoyed or not, he just said whatever he wanted to say. He talked for half an hour without stopping, and when he was thirsty, he took a sip of wine and continued.
Little did he know that Little Phoenix was also drinking cup after cup. At this moment, it stood on the table, shaking its head. It saw many Hu Yifeis and many Ten Leaves.
"Clang clang?"
Little Phoenix's eyes were confused, and then its consciousness gradually faded, but its body was slowly growing larger, and phoenix true flames ignited on its body.
"Why is it suddenly so hot?" Hu Yifei looked at Little Phoenix, his pupils shrinking.
"Crap, it's drunk again..."
Hu Yifei's expression changed slightly. This wasn't the first time Little Phoenix had been like this. The last time it got drunk, it burned down an ancient sacred mountain. That was still the result of Big Sister Head waking it up in time, but now that Big Sister Head wasn't here, Azure Peak was going to suffer.
That day, a fire broke out on Azure Peak. The fire wasn't big, it just burned down Hu Yifei's courtyard.
