Chapter 9: Companion's Gift

After arriving on the first floor of the pavilion, Jiang Surou sat down on a cushion in front of a tea table.

She extended her hand and pointed to the cushion opposite the tea table, saying,

"Junior Brother, please have a seat."

Han Feng sat down opposite her. Jiang Surou picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Han Feng.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Han Feng maintained his politeness. Then, he took out his cold ice dagger and said,

"Senior Sister, Junior Brother received a dagger from a friend last night. I don't know if it's good or not, and I'd like to ask Senior Sister to help appraise it."

Han Feng did this because he wanted to see if his cold ice dagger could still be used after it was in someone else's hands.

After all, that Marriage Blessing had said that anything given by the blessing could not be transferred to anyone.

Han Feng wanted to see if this inability to transfer meant he couldn't give it to others, or if he could give it to others but they couldn't use it.

If it was the former, then his plan to exchange a thirty-year Three-Needle Flower for a three-hundred-year Three-Needle Flower to sell for money would be ruined.

After all, something that couldn't be given to others couldn't be sold for money either.

If it was the latter, then he could find a way to disguise the operation and sell it for Spirit Stones.

Seeing this, Jiang Surou took the dagger and then tried to input spirit energy into it. A moment later, the dagger showed no change at all.

She shook her head and said,

"It's just ordinary iron. It can't even hold spirit energy. It's completely useless, not even as good as that rusty Low Grade spirit artifact you had yesterday.

However, the gift is light but the sentiment is heavy. Since it was given by your friend, you should keep it."

After speaking, she returned the dagger to Han Feng.

Han Feng took the dagger and put it away.

In other words, his things couldn't be used by others even when they held them.

This way, even if others snatched his things in the future, they shouldn't even think about using them.

Although spirit artifacts and Spirit Treasures could be used by anyone, Magic Treasures required recognizing a master before they could be used. Without recognizing a master, they couldn't be used, but there were still powerful people who could forcibly erase the original master's mark on a Magic Treasure and then recognize it as their own.

With this ability, no one would be able to take and use the things he obtained from the blessing in the future.

This blessing is really a good thing.

Actually, it would have been best and safest to test it on Wang Mian, but he only thought of this after arriving here, so he could only ask Jiang Surou to test it.

Since the item could be given away, he could exchange for a Three-Needle Flower with a three-hundred-year medicinal age.

Han Feng took out his storage bag, then gently patted it, and a Three-Needle Flower as tall as a house appeared in his hand.

"Hmm? What's that smell? It's so fragrant, so fragrant."

The Little Fox, who was sleeping on Han Feng's neck, immediately widened her eyes after smelling the fragrance of the Three-Needle Flower, her eyes shining as she looked at the Three-Needle Flower.

Jiang Surou glanced at the Little Fox. Just now, she thought it was a scarf wrapped around Han Feng's neck. She didn't expect it to be a Spirit Beast.

"What a cute Spirit Beast! Can I hold her?"

No matter how cold Jiang Surou was, she was still a teenage girl. She had no resistance to creatures as cute as the Little Fox.

Han Feng smiled awkwardly, placed the Three-Needle Flower horizontally on the table, and said,

"Senior Sister, what do you think of this Three-Needle Flower?"

Hearing this, Jiang Surou looked at it and said indifferently,

"This Three-Needle Flower is the main ingredient for refining Rejuvenation Pills, right? Looking at its size, it should have a medicinal age of several decades and can be exchanged for a few hundred Spirit Stones."

A few hundred Spirit Stones were nothing to Jiang Surou; she didn't care much about them.

If it were a Three-Needle Flower with a medicinal age of over a hundred years, it might make her look twice.

"Since that's the case, then I'll give this flower to Senior Sister."

"Give it to me?"

Jiang Surou looked at Han Feng in surprise, then said,

"A Three-Needle Flower with a medicinal age of several decades is still relatively rare. It's worth a few hundred Spirit Stones, which isn't a small amount for you. Why are you giving it to me?"

"Junior Brother's Aptitude is shallow, and using this flower would be a waste. Senior Sister is naturally intelligent and skilled in Alchemy. Giving this Three-Needle Flower to Senior Sister is making the best use of it.

Junior Brother is just an odd-job worker who grows medicinal herbs and doesn't have anything presentable. I am grateful for Senior Sister's kindness and hope Senior Sister will accept it."

Jiang Surou was not someone who liked to take advantage of others, but she felt somewhat indebted to Han Feng. If she refused his good intentions, it would make her seem unfeeling as a Dao Companion.

After all, she had caused Han Feng to be resented and targeted by Ye Longyuan.

"Alright then, I do need this medicinal herb for Alchemy, so I'll accept it. However, I can't take your things for free. I can buy your Three-Needle Flower at 120% of the market price.

It's worth three hundred Spirit Stones, so I'll give you three hundred and sixty."

"No, no, between Dao Companions, talking about money is being too distant. Besides, Junior Brother really doesn't need Spirit Stones."

Did Han Feng not need Spirit Stones? He needed them very much.

But he couldn't sell it to Jiang Surou.

Because the items returned by the blessing would only be returned if they were "given" to a Dao Companion.

Han Feng didn't dare to gamble whether they would be returned if sold to a Dao Companion.

Jiang Surou looked at Han Feng strangely. Could this guy really be treating me as his Dao Companion?

"Hmm... alright then, talking about buying and selling is indeed a bit inappropriate. How about this, I'll also give you a treasure in return."

Jiang Surou took out a jade pendant from her storage bag, handed it to Han Feng, and said,

"You are now being targeted by Ye Longyuan, which is my fault. I will negotiate this matter through my Family as soon as possible.

During this time, you must protect your own safety. This is a protective jade pendant. It contains the power and magic array stored by my elders and is for defense. It can withstand three attacks below Foundation Establishment.

You just need to input spirit energy to activate it. Oh, right, do you have spirit energy now? I see you can open your storage bag."

"Yes, I can. I ate the Ningqi Pill Senior Sister gave me last night, and I've already gathered spirit energy and can Cultivate."

Han Feng was lying; he was still a useless person who couldn't Cultivate.

"That's good. However, if you are willing to give me that little Spirit Beast, I can give you an even better Spirit Treasure."

Jiang Surou's gaze fell on the Little Fox.

Her eyes held a hint of fondness and affection.

Hearing this, the Little Fox's fur stood on end, and she stared at Han Feng, saying,

"You said you didn't come here to sell me?"

"I really didn't come to sell you."

"Then are you going to give me away?"

"I won't give you away either."

"If you dare, I'll scratch your face and show you how powerful I am."

The Little Fox waved her little paws imposingly, proving how powerful she was, but her childish voice and serious tone created a sense of contrast that made her appear even cuter and more adorable.

This made Jiang Surou like her even more.

"Senior Sister, I'm sorry, I've raised this Little Fox for many years, and we have a deep bond. I really can't give her away, I apologize."

"It's okay, I was being abrupt. It's quiet here, and it would be nice to have a little spirit pet to talk to, but it's fine if I don't."
