Cheng Xiaofan listened to Ye Shisan's explanation of the origins of these two flowers and couldn't help but smile faintly. He asked, "Old Ye, do you know the names of these two flowers?"
Ye Shisan shook his head and said, "Reporting to Mr. Cheng, I don't know the names of these two flowers. I just saw that they looked so beautiful, so I collected some seeds and carried them with me."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Let me tell you, one of these flowers is called Fengwei Flower, and the other is called Yeyue Flower, also known as Douyue Flower."
Actually, the main reason Cheng Xiaofan recognized these two flowers at a glance was because he had seen them in the "Shennong Jing."
Flowers that could appear in the "Shennong Jing" must have originated from ancient times.
He introduced to Ye Shisan, "In the records left from ancient times, Fengwei Flower and Yeyue Flower are very special. For example, Fengwei Flower only blooms in the morning when the sun rises, after absorbing enough sunlight."
"As for Yeyue Flower, it only blossoms beautifully on the full moon nights of the fifteenth and sixteenth, after absorbing sufficient moonlight."
"The sun is yang, and the moon is yin. The properties of these two flowers perfectly fuse the extremes of yin and yang. They are not only flowers of great ornamental value but also very special medicinal herbs."
"If these two flowers are combined and refined into a pill, and someone takes it, even if their heart is pierced by a knife, after the knife is pulled out, not a single drop of blood will be lost, nor will there be any pain. The wound on the heart will heal rapidly as if it were never injured, and the person will be completely fine!"
"Heavens, it's that magical! Doesn't that make it an elixir of immortality?" Ye Shisan exclaimed in amazement.
"Calling it an elixir of immortality is too exaggerated. Everyone in this world has a destined end."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "However, throughout history, many ancient martial arts practitioners have tried every possible means to find these two flowers and refine them into pills to use for protection in duels."
"But due to the special nature of these two flowers, under normal circumstances, those who can find Fengwei Flower cannot find Yeyue Flower; and those who can see Yeyue Flower cannot find Fengwei Flower!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Old Ye, I truly never expected you to find both these flowers at the same time. Isn't that astonishing?"
"In the ancient texts, the pill made from these two flowers was named Tianyi Dan, meaning that anyone who can encounter both these flowers is purely a matter of destiny!"
"Those who are favored by heaven are bound to walk a path of good fortune!"
Ye Shisan's face was full of a wry smile. He said, "Mr. Cheng, look at me, a two-headed monster born to be considered an ominous being. How could I possibly be destined for good fortune!"
"Alright, don't say such disheartening things,"
Cheng Xiaofan patted Ye Shisan's shoulder. "Come on, let's go inside!"
Upon entering the house, Ye Shisan quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, please have a seat for a moment. I'll go boil some water to make tea!"
"Alright, go ahead!"
While Ye Shisan went to boil water, Cheng Xiaofan moved several empty vats from his space and placed them aside.
At the same time, he moved more than ten dishes and dozens of bottles of Qianri Zui wine from his space and placed them on the table.
This wine was not meant to be consumed all at once, but rather left here for Ye Shisan to drink in the future.
When Ye Shisan came in with a pot of boiling water, he saw the table full of wine and dishes. He said, "Mr. Cheng, why did you bring so many dishes here?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Old Ye, to be honest, yesterday was the grand occasion of my engagement to Bai Yiling. The entire village, along with friends and relatives, all came to celebrate.
"Originally, I wanted my Goddess Bai to arrange a helicopter to pick you up for the celebration. But I got busy and forgot about it.
"Today, I brought wine and dishes as an apology!"
"Ah, Mr. Cheng, this is not right, not right. How could I possibly deserve Mr. Cheng to come all the way here to apologize!"
Ye Shisan was completely flustered. He said, "Mr. Cheng, a person like me is not worthy of showing my face to the world. Currently, Mr. Cheng has arranged for me to stay in this immortal-like blessed land. I don't even know how to express my gratitude!"
"Mr. Cheng, I know my place. It's one thing to be born with a terrifying appearance, but if I were to go out and frighten people, that would truly be my sin!"
"Originally, I thought that after coming here, I would make a breakthrough in earth element cultivation before long. However, several days have passed, and there are no signs of it!"
"Mr. Cheng, am I destined to be a failure in this life?"
"..." Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan felt a pang of sadness.
Facing Ye Shisan, whose eyes were red, he didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
No one would feel good living like this.
Cheng Xiaofan poured a cup of wine for himself and Ye Shisan and said, "Don't say such things. The reason you haven't broken through temporarily is entirely due to psychological barriers."
"Once you overcome this hurdle, you'll be fine!"
"As I said before, stop saying such discouraging words. Come, let's finish this glass of wine!"
"Alright, I'll listen to Mr. Cheng. Bottoms up!" Ye Shisan raised his cup, clinked it with Cheng Xiaofan's, and gulped it down.
The smooth, mellow strength flowed down his throat in a straight line.
"Good wine, truly good wine!" After a cup of wine, Ye Shisan couldn't help but shout.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "If you like it, Old Ye, drink more. This Qianri Zui wine, friends have given me a lot. I'll give you more some other day!"
As he spoke, he replaced the small cups with large bowls and filled each person's bowl with wine.
Ye Shisan did not refuse. He picked up a large bowl of baijiu and drank it down in gulps as if it were water.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaofan was slightly surprised. This Old Ye has quite a tolerance for alcohol.
However, he also knew that most ancient martial arts practitioners had a good capacity for drink.
To join in the fun, Cheng Xiaofan also drank a large bowl of wine.
"Mr. Cheng has a great capacity for drink!" Ye Shisan praised heartily.
"..." Am I considered to have a great capacity for drink?
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but chuckle to himself. If I were to drink freely, all the wine I brought today wouldn't be enough for me alone.
I might scare you to death then!
"Let's not just drink, but eat some food as well!" Cheng Xiaofan said.
After a large bowl of strong baijiu, Ye Shisan no longer felt constrained and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Cheng and eat!"
He picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a large five-spice meatball from the plate, and stuffed it into his mouth.
While chewing, he praised repeatedly, "This meatball is delicious, so delicious! It's unbelievably good. I've never tasted anything so wonderful in my life!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "If you like it, eat more!"
The two of them drank eight large bowls of wine, and more than half of the dishes on the table were swept clean.
At this point, Cheng Xiaofan narrowed his eyes and said to Ye Shisan, "Old Ye, I came here mainly to see you today. Now I have another idea."
"Mr. Cheng, whatever idea you have, just say it. I'll do whatever you say!" Ye Shisan, already feeling the effects of the wine, swayed and asked.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "I want to remove one of your heads!"
"You can only keep one head!"
