Xun Shu stood up very quickly. His expression had changed. He bounced up and removed his robes, tearing it into shreds. He threw it onto the ground and stomping on it angrily. With a wave of his hand, a set of blue robes appeared and he quickly put it on. This time, the robes did not reach the floor.

"Heh, what are you here for... Ah yes, my Winter Spirit Leaf is not meant for just any person," he coughed. He had now recovered his high and mighty posture, as if he had not just tripped and fallen just seconds ago. If not for the mud on his face, they would have thought they imagined him falling down.

Lonemoon: "..."

Shen Ying: "..."

"Well... Young Emperor Xun Shu!" Father Niu was extremely experienced in negotiation afterall – he was the first to recover from shock. With a controlled expression, he said, "We know that this treasure is extremely valuable. We only heard that Young Emperor Xun has always been generous and that only you have the Winter Spirit Leaf. That's why..." Seeing that Xun Shu still looked disdainful, Lonemoon immediately held up an indignant Radish and handed him over to Xun Shu. "I heard that Young Emperor Xun is the most elegant immortal in the whole of the immortal realm. We were fortunate enough to come across a vegetation spirit. It is well-versed in plant life. If you let it stay with you for just three months, I promise that this beautiful garden of yours will become more spectacular."

"Ji ji ji..." Just as Lonemoon finished speaking, Radish began to struggle for his life. No way was it going to stay there for three months

"A vegetation spirit?" Young Emperor Xun Shu was indeed intrigued enough to glance over at the Radish in Lonemoon's hands, but his face twisted in disgust almost immediately. "How would such a hideous weed fit into my beautiful garden?"

"Ji ji ji..." You are the hideous one. Your entire family is hideous!

The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. This Xun Shu was not just a show-off, he was also extremely vain. He thought for a moment. Then, he shook Radish and said, "Radish, co-operate with me: turn back into your large human form."

"Hmph!" Radish did become large, but it did not turn into a human. With a bright flash, it turned from a small radish into an enormous one. Lonemoon could hardly bear the weight with his hands and almost fell to his knees.

"Shit!" This stupid radish only has to stay here for three months, why is it kicking up a fuss? "Don't make me throw you to Yi Qing to be brewed tonight."

But the radish was not to be threatened. It puffed up its chest and retorted, "pfft!" Then, it slowly shrunk back to its original size.

"..." We're going to have additional dishes tonight!

"Enough!" Xun Shu was not at all interested in this vegetation spirit. From out of nowhere, he pulled out a fan. His face still covered in mud, he began to fan himself with an air of self-perceived importance. "You don't have to try so hard to impress me. If you want the Winter Spirit Leaf, you just have to follow my rules."

He paused to ponder something. With a twist of his hand, a white box appeared. He waved his hand and a silver dagger appeared inside the box. The dagger flew toward Shen Ying and Lonemoon, circling around them and back to the box that Xun Shu was holding.

"You think you can enter the Immortal Territory because you're a sword cultivator and have been enlightened on the techniques of the sword." He lifted up the box and said, "Inside this box lays a treasure – my weapon, the tenth-grade immortal sword. This box is made up of spirit-absorbing stones. If you have what it takes to break open this box and retrieve the dagger from inside of it, I will give you the Winter Spirit Leaf. Otherwise, going into the Immortal Territory with your lack of skill would just be courting death."
