The gentiana seemed as if it were dead, not making a single move. But Chu Mo had plenty of patience and, squatting there, he said to himself, "Actually, senior should be aware of something. Since you were captured and brought here, it's unlikely you'll ever truly regain your freedom in this lifetime. It's easy to understand that cultivators want medicinal herbs; after all, they wish to extend their lives at critical moments. Although it won't truly harm the life of the medicinal herbs, it will definitely destroy your cultivation. After all, the loss of essence energy is the last thing you want to happen. But if... I have a chance to reach a higher level, like becoming a Saint or even... a Great Saint! Then, as a Quasi-Saint medicinal herb, you should still hope to truly transform within your lifetime, survive the epochal tribulation, and step into the realm of Saint herbs. By that time, with a life expectancy of thirty-six epochs... heh, even a Great Saint's lifespan wouldn't exceed thirty-six epochs at most. These are unimaginably grand epochs, don't you think so, senior?"

The knowledge about the lifespan one could possess depending on their cultivation level had just been passed to Chu Mo by the Sky Mirror. Chu Mo was shocked as well, quite overwhelmed by it. However, he did not show any of this in his communication with the gentiana. It was as if he had known all this for a long time.

From the supreme medicinal herb came the somewhat sullen voice of a bratty child, "You? Become a Saint? A Great Saint? What nonsense are you spouting? It's not that I'm laughing at you..."

"If you continue to speak to me with such disrespect, watch out—I might just refine you right now, bratty child. My patience is limited," Chu Mo coldly interrupted the bratty child's speech.

The bratty child fell silent at once, his heart pounding like thunder inside, but now that he was under someone else's control, there was no room for his arrogance.

The gentiana remained silent as well.

Chu Mo continued, "Perhaps senior is wondering if I'm boasting. A person like me who hasn't even reached the Emperor Realm is actually daring to talk about Saints and Great Saints... heh." Chu Mo chuckled lightly, then went on, "In fact, most cultivators in the Yanhuang domain haven't even heard of such realms as Saint or Great Saint. Oh, they probably don't even know that this world is called the Yanhuang domain. But I know."

At that moment, the gentiana that had so far remained silent finally showed a bit of reaction, saying coldly, "So what if you know?"

It was a woman's voice, sounding quite pleasant.

Chu Mo said, "The fact that I know these things naturally means I have my sources of information. I would ask senior gentiana to take a good look at everything in this world because this... is my world! Do you know what is raised in that Netherworld Lake? It's the Fish of Creation! See that tree over there? An Elemental Fruit Tree..."

From within the supreme medicinal herb came the weak rebuttal of the brat, "That's the Mini World Tree!"

The cold, mocking voice of the gentiana followed, "Ignorant."

Chu Mo was exasperated, his head full of black lines. These top-tier medicinal herbs were indeed difficult to handle, each with their own darn stubborn temper. It was a good thing that the golden ginseng always remained in a sealed state; otherwise, it would probably be no easier to talk to than these two herbs.

"Fine, Mini World Tree, whatever it is, it's a part of this world. And this flowerpot, with its rare treasure soil inside, you must all like it, right? I have no intention of taking your lives, nor am I necessarily going to use you to extend my own!" Chu Mo said earnestly.

At that point, the bratty child said, "Not for you, but surely for someone close to you to extend their life! When our essence energy is greatly depleted, our realms fall, what will you compensate us with? We live freely and without conflict in the world; what right do you have to imprison our freedom?"

The gentiana said nothing, which presumably meant she was thinking the same.

Chu Mo could not help but laugh, "Let's not talk about the issue of imprisoning your freedom for the moment. Let's talk about the issue of loss of essence energy... If I have a chance to ascend to the Saint Realm, can we still call this a loss?"

"Impossible! In this world today, not even a supreme can achieve that! Don't think that we are unaware of everything!" the bratty child retorted.

"But what if I can?" Chu Mo said calmly.

"Hahahaha, what a joke. If you really had that ability, I would..." The bratty child started speaking with the tone of an old man, then coughed, "I would go and call all my godfathers to follow you! But you can't! You're not even an Emperor!"

"Senior Gentiana, do you also think this way? As long as I can step into the Supreme Realm, there's a hope to break into the Saint Realm, and you will willingly follow by my side?" Chu Mo asked.

Gentiana fell silent for a moment. In truth, its heart had been deeply shaken by everything in this world. As a Quasi-Saint Medicine, it saw much more!

For instance, that alchemy furnace exerted an immense pressure on it!

Not just any furnace could refine supreme medicines or Quasi-Saint Medicines like itself—the ordinary furnaces couldn't even contain their aura, and would be outright obliterated!

But this furnace, Gentiana could clearly feel that, let alone a Quasi-Saint Medicine like itself, even if it were a true Sacred Medicine, refining it... would be effortless!

Then there was that knife, which often flew back by itself, silently hovering above the furnace. Although it didn't unleash a terrifying murderous intent, Gentiana had a feeling: the divine might of that knife... was perhaps even greater than the furnace!

And then there was... the world itself.

Small World—I have wandered through them, and there are many such places on the heavenly road. Sometimes, when lucky, one could find a Small World with independent laws. But this world right now, though it isn't as vast as those Small Worlds, is nonetheless a very complete world!

This is a real world that could evolve into a myriad worlds!

It isn't to say that worlds with vast and boundless lands are the complete worlds. Many Small Worlds are actually very sizable, like the heavenly road... it is even vaster than many complete worlds!

But it remains a Small World.

Because its laws are not complete, and few stars can even be seen in the sky.

In other words, like here, the area might not be large, but its laws are quite complete, and although it now doesn't have many suns, moons, and stars, given time, they will definitely appear!

And all of this, it even seems to be not much related to the World Tree. It's as if this place was originally a massive, complete universe space with perfected laws!

This was what truly shocked Gentiana the most.

And this world belongs to this young human cultivator. So, while the supreme medicine might think Chu Mo is boasting, telling lies, Gentiana does not think so.

But understanding is one thing, and if it were to submit so easily, it would feel somewhat unwilling.

It is a piece of Quasi-Saint Medicine, born as one! Not the kind that evolved through constant tribulations into a Quasi-Saint Medicine. Its life expectancy has just passed less than thirty thousand years. Compared to its life span that spans twelve epochs, it is still too young!

It doesn't want to easily tie itself to a human cultivator so early.

Unless he truly becomes a Saint.

"When you truly have a hope of becoming a Saint, we'll talk. Until then, I will not agree to anything," Gentiana finally spoke out after a long silence.
