214 Phoenix Reborn Flower

Ryuu was sitting on a chair with his new left hand placed on top of a table, he was moving his fingers, opening and closing the palm of his hand under Veena's intense observation.

Ryuu spoke in amazement, "It is amazing, it feels exactly like my own hand there is no difference at all, Ouch, what was that 1st mistress."

Veena did not say anything as she continued checking his hand as she mumbled to herself, "Hmmm, it seems the nerve are working properly.", as she prodded and probed his left hand.

Veena gave a small smile as she spoke, "Well it seems that everything went perfectly well, now Ryuu gather your KI and release it from your left hand."

Ryuu followed her instruction as he focused his KI before he smiled at his teacher as he spoke, "It feels fine."

Veena nodded with a smile, as Ryuu spoke, "I have to thank big sister Antariskh for the 'Phoenix Reborn Flower', but I have never seen that flower here in Ayindril's Herbarium before."

Veena: "Well it is an incredibly rare flower it takes over 1000 years to bloom, not only that it is very difficult to grow as it withers away very quickly if a person steps within 100 meters of it let alone touch it as such growing and harvesting is difficult not only that, the flower with healing properties as soon as it withers it releases its spores which is not only parasitic in nature but the host itself is unaware, until it is too late, as the host's life energy is completely drained off. Then using the life energy it gives birth to a new seed the host then completely moves from civilization and using the corpse as a fertilizer as a new plant grows.", she then became busy with her work.

Ryuu suddenly turned green at the thought of such flower existing, as he spoke with disgust laced in her voice, "The flower you used was it the same…"

Veena spoke without looking back towards him as she spoke, "Of course it is."

Ryuu spoke with equal amount of disgust, "You used such a vile flower on me."

Only for Ryuu to face plant on the ground hard as Veena stood with her hand outstretched and her face scowling hard as she spoke with anger palpable in her tone, "Ryuu, this flower is just an ingredient nothing more nothing less. Did you think most of the ingredients you use just grow up like that, don't you eat meat, Ryuu?"

Ryuu, "Yes I do."

Veena:" Then why is it anything different. There are creatures you have eaten who feed on another."

Ryuu: "But but this plant is it not evil."

Veena sighed as she spoke, "Ryuu this plant does not consumes anyone's soul as such it is not classified as an Evil plant but rather chaotic. Moreover it mainly feeds on lower level beasts with rather low intelligence, not some human as such you do not have to worry too much about it. Do not confuse with some plants you have learned before those even feed on the souls compare to it, this flower is really tame. If it helps you then let me tell you something, the seed cannot grow inside any beast that has fully functional KI system in it, as such it grows using common animals as their hosts not even a spirit beast."

Ryuu sighed at that, "There is so much to learn."

Veena smiled at that as she spoke, "Child you are feeling frustrated already when you are still so young even us who have been alive for millions of years learn something new every day, so you can imagine how beautiful this Universe is."

Ryuu nodded at that as Veena continued, "Also about this flower you should be grateful as it reduced your recovery period from 6 months to only a couple of months, a few days rest and you could be ready for heavy exercise as usual. Now run along."

With that Ryuu under Veena's permission left, as he made his way to the library, since he had nothing else to do he decided he should spent time reading something.

It has been an arduous period for him, his near death experience gave him some nightmarish dreams for a few days it was so scary that even thinking about them makes him shiver out of fear.

As Ryuu was moving towards the library suddenly he remembered something causing him to curse inwardly, 'Damn it has been a couple of months since that day and I have completely forgotten about it.'

He changed his destination as she made his way to the private garden of his teachers where he found Maheswara sitting with his 2nd and 3rd wives as well as all his daughters were present there speaking amongst themselves.

As Ryuu stepped inside the garden everything stopped as he received undivided attention, he greeted them.

Maheswara spoke in surprise, "When did you wake up? And you have been released already?"

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, "Yes 1st mistress said I am healthy and after a few days rest I can begin training."

Maheswara spoke in a jovial tone, "Good Good."

Ryuu turned towards Antariskh as he spoke, "Thank you big sister for getting the flower for me I was able to heal fast enough because of it."

Antariskh just waved her hand as she spoke with a smile, "This was nothing you are my baby brother after all."

Ryuu then turned towards Maheswara as he spoke, "Master there is something I need help with."

At that everyone got a bit curious as Maheswara asked Ryuu, "Yes child what do you need help with."

Ryuu: "Well during the expedition my teammates and I have gathered a few good amounts of various items, most of them are still in my space ring, but because of the incident I was unable to give them their share of the loot."

Celestia: "Do not worry, if there is something you want to keep with yourself you may keep it others we will send them."

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, "There are various technique and skills present here I do not know if they are suitable for the Ayindril's Library."

Nuwa beckoned Ryuu to come closer as she gestured him to seat near her as she spoke, "Well why don't you show us what you have and since we have time we can easily check them out."

As Ryuu was bringing out the items from his space ring he suddenly remembered something as he asked, "Ah I remember teachers what about the stone slab that big sisters got me in the auction all those years ago."

Nuwa frowned thinking about the item as she spoke, "About that...."
