Fairy Extreme King had his own refining cave in Hundred Flower Palace, but he spent most of the time at the penthouse in Pill Palace to check everyday accounts. He also needed to receive the major clients himself to show respect.
All the accounts books in the past five days were put on a bronze desk, showing the booming business Hundred Flower Palace had.
Since the girls came to Hundred Flower Palace, we have twice as many clients as before. Time to ask Thousand Pistil Field to send some more help here, otherwise, I won't even have time to refine.
Fairy Extreme King thought, sat beside the desk, and checked the accounts books. Suddenly, he looked around, alerted and fierce.
He noticed that the inkstone on the desk had been moved by someone else before.
It was a tiny trace, yet it couldn't be hidden from Fairy Extreme King.
Someone came here before.
This room was a confidential place of Hundred Flower Palace, with an eighth-grade formation protecting it. Who could trespass without people noticing him?
Fairy Extreme King moved away the inkstone after making sure that there were no other creatures around in the room. He saw a note under the inkstone.
He opened the note. "Shangfeng King is a monk from Black Demon Field."
Fairy Extreme King was shocked and angry after reading the note. He was also confused and said, "Who sent the note? Is it reliable?"
All seven senior great beings in Hundred Flower Pavilion were from Thousand Pistil Field, but they came from seven different powers, representing their own interests.
Shangfeng King came from Shang Butterfly Ancient Clan.
There was only a medium-sized astral domain between Black Demon Field and Thousand Pistil Field, making them almost adjacent to each other.
There were lots of planets with creatures living on them in the astral domain, Void World Lands, and ore stars.
There were many conflicting interests between the two fields, and killing emerged because the grudges against each other got worse, mutually reinforcing one another.
Thousand Pistil Field was much more powerful than Black Demon Field, so Black Demon Field sent some spies to Thousand Pistil Field for revenge.
Shangfeng King was one of the best spies, who managed to become a fifth-step saint king and become a senior in Hundred Flower Pavilion.
"If Shang Feng really is a spy from Black Demon Field, we need to get rid of him now so that he won't ascend to a more important position, causing more trouble for Thousand Pistil Field."
Fairy Extreme King stopped thinking about where the note came from. He walked out of the room and sent a message back to Thousand Pistil Field to have people investigate Shang Feng.
If Shang Feng really was a spy from Black Demon Field, he must've left some traces.
…
It was best to have Fairy Extreme King deal with Shang Feng.
"Hahaha, it is you indeed. Can you still remember me? It was I who brought you to Hundred Flower Palace." A Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterfly flew out of the saint flowers, showing up in front of Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen had detected Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterfly's forces, so he wasn't surprised at all. He smiled. "Of course, I do."
"I'm Ling Ling, what your name? I heard that you're a major client with lots of saint stones. You must have an incredible background."
Before Zhang Ruochen knew how to answer that question, the other Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterflies all flew out and introduced themselves.
"I'm Xiu Xiu."
"I'm Feng Feng."
"I'm Jing Jing."
…
All the Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterflies except the princess flew out and gathered around Zhang Ruochen.
The Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterfly named Xiu Xiu blinked her eyes and said, "Why're you here by yourself?"
All the other Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterflies also stared at Zhang Ruochen as if there was a flower on his face.
Zhang Ruochen answered calmly, "I was meant to comprehend the pictures of the Way of Truth left by Datura Flower Goddess, but there're so many saint flowers and formations around, so I lost my way."
"Haha."
All the Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterflies smiled and tried to bring Zhang Ruochen there. None of them bothered to ask Zhang Ruochen's name.
Zhang Ruochen had read about Datura Flower Goddess in the Book Garden Cave before, and he knew she was the strongest God from Thousand Pistil Field. Zhang Ruochen certainly wanted to go comprehend the pictures left by such an amazing God.
The eight Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterflies went through one formation after another.
The longer Zhang Ruochen walked, the more Zhang Ruochen was thrilled by how many saint flowers there were. Once they aged ten thousand years, each of them would be worth a ten-thousand-year-old saint medicine.
There were more than a hundred thousand saint flowers around.
Where did they get so many seeds of saint flowers?
Who nurtured all of them so well that every one of them was blossoming? It was very expensive to get a seed of saint flower, and only less than ten percent of them could sprout. It was very tricky to cultivate them.
Zhang Ruochen then asked the eight Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterflies from whom he got the answer.
"More than eighty percent of them were planted by Sister Fairy."
"Sister Fairy follows the Way of Life, so she can make all the flowers blossom with just one thought. As long as she's here, all the saint flowers can grow ten times faster than normal."
This wasn't the first time Zhang Ruochen heard of Ji Fanxin, Hundred Flower Fairy. He couldn't help wondering, but those Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterflies told him everything before he even asked.
"Sister Fairy is a Divine Ancient Pluto Reflection Lotus born in the astral sky in the universe. She flowed in the universe without any attachments for tens of millions of years before being discovered by Datura Flower Goddess who admitted her as a disciple and taught her the techniques. She's the leader of our generation in Thousand Pistil Field."
Creatures of the plant type didn't all have eternal lives. Many of them could only live for one year. Only those special ones could live for longer.
A Reflection Lotus that was born ages ago, flowing in the universe and coming to have intelligence, that didn't practice any techniques but comprehended the ways from the heaven and earth all by itself...
It managed to survive for tens of millions of years, showing how special it was. It was definitely one of the unique flowers in the universe.
The eight Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterflies brought Zhang Ruochen to the depths of the flowers, in front of a white stone cliff.
There was a jade square that was a thousand square feet under the cliff, and there were different areas on the square where more than a hundred creatures sat. Most of them were absolute saints and half-step saint kings.
This was one of the dojos that belonged to Thousand Pistil Field, which had other dojos in Truth Heavenly Domain.
Zhang Ruochen wasn't surprised, as he'd read in the books that large fields ranked from one hundredth to one thousandth could obtain an opportunity to refine in Truth Godly Palace every day, and after one year, it would have more than three hundred.
And besides, a strong field like Thousand Pistil Field had other methods to get extra opportunities.
Which was why it was normal for Thousand Pistil Field to have hundreds of talents refining in Truth Godly Domain.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen sensed a couple of people glaring at him from the left side of the square.
A half-step saint king wearing Flying Roc Saint Armor said, "Another pursuer here, but his cultivation is subpar. Can't believe he wants to pursue her."
A tall and built man was sitting beside, also wearing Flying Rock Saint Armor, moved his fingers and made cracking sounds. He said, "Your highness, I'll throw that reckless human boy out of Hundred Flower Palace."
The Golden Roc Prince opened his golden eyes, looked at Zhang Ruochen, and felt strange. He had never seen him before, so he reckoned Zhang Ruochen wasn't a descendant of a God.
"Go. Break his legs and throw him out." The Golden Roc Prince looked disdainful.
Two half-step saint kings, one tall and one small, stood up and walked to Zhang Ruochen.
Eternity Deity was sitting beside Golden Roc Prince. He was dashing, dressed perfectly with tidy hair. He chuckled, "The monks who can come here to comprehend the pictures of Way of Truth must be the special guests of Hundred Flower Palace. He at least has trades worth ten million saint stones with Hundred Flower Palace. That human boy is definitely someone exceptional."
Golden Roc Prince looked overbearing. He sneered, "Ten million saint stones are nothing. Anyone who's lucky can get that much fortune. Besides, I've seen the pictures of the talents on the 'Saints Merits Rank.' That human kid isn't one of them."
"He's just a half-step saint king who can't even make it onto the 'Saints Merits Rank.' What background can he have?"
"Not everyone has the right to pursue Hundred Flower Fairy. That kind of mediocre man needs getting rid of. We can't let him bother the fairy like a bug."
Aside from Eternity Deity and Golden Roc Prince, there were a couple of other royal members. They were either descendants of Gods, or the princes and princesses from the ancient civilization.
The large fields which the people were from set up dojos and saint shops in Heavenly Saint Market, yet they spent lots of saint stones buying stuff in Hundred Flower Palace to become its special guests so that they could live in Hundred Flower Palace temporarily.
Their true purpose was not to comprehend the pictures of the Way of Truth left by Datura Flower Goddess, but to pursue Ji Fanxin, Hundred Flower Fairy.
Zhang Ruochen's coming here made them feel that there was another monk trying to approach and pursue Ji Fanxin, so they were all hostile toward him.
