“Give you a little to play with?”
Everyone started to look nervous as they heard what Xu Que had said.
“What does this guy mean?”
“That’s the Starry Sky Flaming Blossom. Does he think he can just casually give it away for people to play with?”
“How much is a little?”
SWISH!
The next moment, everyone present was dumbstruck, glued to where they’d been standing, looking stupefied.
Xu Que had taken something that was glowing from his pocket and actually turned it into a bunch of Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms. At a quick glance, there appeared to be at least a dozen blossoms, which he casually clutched in his hands, some of which had been squeezed into a ball.
“Stop it, you animal!” The crowd was so angry that they started to shout out.
The Starry Sky Flaming Blossom was so rare and precious. Each blossom was valuable enough to make all the major forces fight to the death for it. “And you actually clutch them in your hands like you’re grappling at weeds?”
“How is that possible? Where’d he get so many Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms?” Someone asked in a shocked voice. They all found it unbelievable.
The Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, Ming Yixuan, was even more appalled than anyone else and extremely angry. He felt completely insulted.
His Sage Sect had only collected two Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms. He’d taken one out to give to Jiang Hongyan this time and thought that he’d already done her a huge favor. But at the same time, he’d also wanted to impress the whole of the Heaven Continent and show off the Sage Sect’s might.
But now, Xu Que had nonchalantly taken out more than a dozen Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms. The overall value was more than a dozen times what his gift had been worth.
The point was that these dozen Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms were a small gift for Jiang Hongyan. When both sides were contrasted, the Sage Sect was obviously completely defeated. It was an absolute loss of face.
At the same time, the looks that many people were giving Xu Que also were changing. As well as shock, there was also greed.
The eyes of the Heaven Palace Academy’s Dean Li and the others shone as they fixed their eyes on the Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms in Xu Que’s hands.
The reason that a Starry Sky Flaming Blossom was so precious was because it could be refined into a Star Elixir, in addition to the fact that it was rare because of the low quantity available.
It was a kind of medicinal item that could attract the power of the stars into boundless Celestial Core Power once it was taken. If someone at the Golden Celestial Stage took it, that person could instantaneously break through to the Taiyi Celestial Stage. If someone at the Taiyi Celestial Stage took two doses, that person would immediately step into the Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven.
But once that person reached the Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, the additional effects on the Celestial Core Power from this kind of elixir would be greatly reduced. The power it brought could be used to temper the physical body, as long as it wasn’t converted into Celestial Core Power.
So right now, the emergence of a dozen Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms had made everyone present feel very tempted.
In particular, Dean Li’s hands were already trembling uncontrollably in his sleeves, and he was finding it very hard to control.
If he could get these Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms and find someone to refine them into Star Elixirs to be distributed to and taken by the Taiyi Celestials at the Heaven Palace Academy, the Heaven Palace Academy could produce at least a few more Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven and its overall strength would be substantially upgraded.
Even if they weren’t given to the Taiyi Celestials, he could swallow them himself and temper his physical body. Then he could become a famous figure among the Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. He could even become first among his peers!
Who wouldn’t be enticed by such a great temptation in front of their eyes?
“Where did you manage to get these?” Jiang Hongyan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh as she looked at Xu Que.
Although she’d already guessed that Xu Que would have these things, she didn’t expect him to take out a dozen Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms. He’d really surprised her.
“Ah, what are you talking about? Each blossom has been very carefully selected and plucked by me to bring here to you. A few of them didn’t look very good, so I threw them right away.” Xu Que said with a face full of pride, like a little devil getting ready to take credit for his achievement and be commended for it.
The crowd at the scene almost went crazy.
“Son of a b*tch, what did this guy say?”
“A few Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms didn’t look too good, so he threw them away?”
“D*mn, where did the b*stard throw them away?”
“Are these all for me?” Jiang Hongyan was still smiling calmly as she looked at Xu Que.
“Why, of course.” Xu Que smiled, walked toward the front, and handed the Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms to her.
Jiang Hongyan took the pile of Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms and briefly admired them with a hint of little-girl-like curiosity in her eyes as she picked out one blossom from among them.
WHOOSH!
Soon after, her delicate hand gave a wave and a spark of eerie blue flame materialized. She leaned toward that particular Starry Sky Flaming Blossom.
“What does she want to do?”
“Is it necessary to refine that Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms in such a hurry?”
“That’s not right. Now is not the time to refine the elixir. Even though the Starry Sky Flaming Blossom is the main material of the Star Elixir, the other materials are also not so easy to find. Don’t tell me she already has the other materials on her?”
“No, that’s incorrect. The heat control from the flame is too big. It can easily burn the Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms to ashes!”
“Stop right away!” Immediately, a lot of people with experience in refining elixirs started shouting out.
However, the eerie blue flame that Jiang Hongyan had created had already engulfed the entire Starry Sky Flaming Blossom. The blazing hot temperature instantly melted the Starry Sky Flaming Blossom, which burned into a cloud of ash in the blink of an eye.
SWISH!
A beam of light rushed forth from the ashes the next moment and directly streamed into the air. It created a plate-sized Starry Sky tableau. Several stars were shining brightly with a resplendent glow, flowing with power.
“Is this…a Starry Star Vision?” Someone looked at the plate-sized Starry Sky tableau in the air and asked in astonishment.
“Just as expected, these are really Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms. Only after a Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms is burned can it manifest into a Starry Star Vision,” some wise man said.
But many people looked agonized.
Such a precious Starry Sky Flaming Blossom had actually been wasted just like that and burned into a cloud of ash.
“What a beautiful Starry Sky,” Jiang Hongyan said in a whisper with a smile on her face.
It was as if she’d done this simply to relive the scene of Xu Que burning the Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms when they’d been together in the past.
“Do you like it?” Xu Que asked with a smile.
“Yes.” Jiang Hongyan nodded.
“Then shall I give you another piece?”
“Really?”
“Of course, how can such a small starry sky be enough to look at? You must see a big one if you want to see more.”
“Great.”
Xu Que’s conversation with Jiang Hongyan made the hearts of everyone present seize up with shock. They had a bad feeling about it.
“What is this kid going to do?”
WHOOSH!
The next moment, Xu Que gave another wave of his hand and pulled out another glowing piece that was bigger than the previous one.
As soon as the crowd saw what he had, their faces changed dramatically.
He was holding more than 100 Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms!
“How…how can this be?”
“How could he have so many Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms? Even if all the Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms in the Heaven Continent were gathered together, they wouldn’t be as many as he has.”
“Hang on a second, what’s this guy going to do?” Someone screamed with his face full of horror.
Xu Que took out more than 100 Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms and actually gathered them into a ball. Next, a blue flame sprang up from the palm of his hand and instantly engulfed more than 100 Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms.
“No!”
“Stop, you animal!” Someone yelled at the top of his lungs.
Dean Li of the Heaven Palace Academy and the others also rushed forward, wanting to stop Xu Que and save those more than 100 Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms.
However, they were ultimately too late. The blue flame that Xu Que had released was unusually powerful. It completely devoured all the Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms and completely burned them up in the blink of an eye.
Immediately after, hundreds of tiny beams of light refracted from the ashes of the Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms and shone up into the air as many pieces of the Starry Sky Vision all came together.
What had originally been a clear sky suddenly darkened at this moment, as if night had fallen. And the individual huge stars glittered and shone. The power of the stars had formed a river of light up in the sky.
It could be said that this was a perfect picture of a starry sky. At night in the Heaven Continent, one could never see such a bright starry sky, not to mention such a spectacular river of stars.
All the people present watched in a daze. It was the first time they had ever seen such a staggering Starry Star Vision.
But what followed closely was a violent convulsion of their hearts, as if their hearts were bleeding.
Although these Starry Sky Flaming Blossom sparks didn’t belong to any of them, in the minds of Dean Li and the others, they should have been fully capable of snatching these things from Xu Que’s hands, which meant that sooner or later these things would have belonged to them.
But now, they were all gone.
Just to see this tableau of a Starry Star Vision, this guy had actually burned more than 100 Starry Sky Flaming Blossoms.
“B*stard, I am going to kill you.” Dean Li became furious and roared at Xu Que. He made a move to kill Xu Que to vent his anger.
“An announcement!” Suddenly, an ear-piercing cry came from far away.
The person hadn’t yet arrived, but the voice had already been transmitted to everyone in the Heaven Palace Academy. He said, “An urgent announcement to report to the dean. Your disciple has rushed back from Tian Sha City to bring the latest news…”
