Chapter 162 - The Contact With The Forbidden Item

Le Fang ling was immediately surrounded by a strong field of spiritual energy. If the feeling when entering the cave can be compared to the feeling of eating fresh mint leaves, the experience when entering this underground chamber could be compared to the feeling of being exposed to a strong magnetic field.

She could feel her spiritual energy fluctuating. The seal that Elder Lin had drawn on her stomach glowed a bright red, making her feel a bit hot and painful in that area.

The pain she was feeling now was much more extreme than the one she had felt last time.

"Is the seal coming off?" she worried as she touched the points in her belly to calm down the pain.

It had already been around a week after placing the seal. She wondered if the seal was getting weaker…and she was correct. The seal was indeed getting weaker with each passing day, with each amount of qi she absorbed in her body.

The more her body grew and developed physically and internally, the seal had been slowly weakening, trying to break free. It was a subconscious response of her body to the forceful blockage.

Now that she had come face to face with this again, she was feeling it even more than before. She had not seen what lay in the center of the chamber surrounded by that thorny barrier. All she knew was its just entire existence hurt her.

"Feng Po Po!" Ignoring the burning hot sensation, she called out the young goddess who was floating in midair. She was looking at something in the center of the chamber. Le fang Ling was relieved when she saw that she was still holding Nagina.

However, with her back facing Le Fang ling, it was hard for her to see or read the expression on her face.

"Can you not hear me?" she called out again while making her way towards her, towards the center where the centuries-old secret of Eternal blossom Sect was. The more she approached near her, the sicker she felt.

Yet she reached to where Feng Po Po was with sheer will. "Why are you here? You know this place is forbidden…" she said in anger. It was a secret place shown by senior sister An Cheng and now someone else was here without her permission. She felt worse with the fact that it was her who sent Feng Po Po to the cave.

Feng Po Po descended right next to where Le Fang Ling was and sighed. But the way she looked at her was completely different from what she normally got from her.

"This place is off-limits, I know that," Feng Po Po said with a tired face. "But only for those who don't know." A merry chuckle plastered on her face as she walked backward. She was constantly staring at Le Fang Ling.

Le Fang Ling was weirded out by the creepy smile she had on her face. That was not how she usually acted around her. There was something odd about it and she was going to get to the bottom of it by hook or crook.

"Have you ever seen what is inside there?" She asked Le Fang Ling with a tempting smile. "Have you ever seen what it looks like ever?" She repeated the question. Le Fang ling shook her head in denial. She still had not seen or touched the thing inside the big crystal there.

Under the probing of Feng Po Po and her curious mind, she reached the center where the Big crystal container was holding the secret of the Vermillion bird peak was holding for her.

"This…" A surprised gasp left her mouth when she saw it. This *IT* however, was nothing impressive. It was just a dead rose flower whose petals were pitch black. At a glance, it looked like a normal thing, but it was extremely important material.

She was not sure but she was sure this dead flower had something to d with the spiritual energy flow in the vermillion bird peak. After seeing this withered flower with her own eyes, she also realized the name of the sect had to come from here.

"A black flower that blooms for eternity; the life-giving flower," she mumbled as she collected herself after a bit of the shock. "This flower…it's a pure Yin rose flower, the flower that is only one of its kind in the world."

"Ahh, how did you know?" Feng Po Po asked when she heard the mumbling of Le Fang Ling. "As you said, it's a pure yin essence flower."

"I never thought after all these years, this existed." She smiled with a deep longing and a bit of greed evident in her eyes.

"I never thought I will come face to face with this again." She chuckled as she continued looking inside the box. She seemed to be in a trance, for she tried to touch it.

Whoosh~~

Before she could touch it, Le Fang Ling acted before. She grabbed the yin flower from the container and immediately increased the distance between them. She was not going to let Feng Po Po take the flower, not when she looked as abnormal as she did.

"Give it to me," Feng Po Po stared at Le Fang ling in anger. She gnashed her teeth. "Can't you see I am asking you?"

Le Fang Ling looked back and forth between the flower and Feng po po's face. With Nagina not by her side at the moment, she felt a bit lost but, she quickly threw it to the back of her head.

"You cannot have it," she said sternly. "This belongs to the entire northern province."

"Hah, what has that got to do with me?" Feng Po Po said as she stepped towards Le Fang Ling. "I showed, didn't I?" she stopped and lifted her skirts.

"If there is one thing that can help me right now, then it's that thing you are holding." Feng Po Po said no more as she showed the corruption of her skin and veins in her thigh. The black lines were throbbing in a motion to human eyes.

(Alright, WN messed up and the ch that was supposed to be 157 got published as 131 and things happened.. So, after rearranging, this chapter is supposed to be here. Sorry about this inconvenience)
