Chapter 236
Nine Qi Soul Purifying Flower
Trails of blood stained the white field of snow. A new sensation coursed through Mu Yu’s body as he ran his hand along the wood spirit sword.
“Wait... the ‘nine qi soul purifying flower’ Shi Minghui took is actually a nine yin flower?”
“Correct. The two fools actually thought they procured the nine qi soul purifying flower. When the wood spirit and I fused, I received an influx of data on all plants in the world. That’s how I can tell.”
Nine yin flowers always accompanied nine qi soul purifying flowers in the latter’s vicinity. Additionally, the former was easy to mistake for the latter. The sole difference was nine yin flower’s leaves had a black line on them, while the latter was void of them. Shi Minghui pointed out the black line, also pointing out his ignorance in the process. Nine yin flowers existed to protect nine qi soul purifying flowers. Shi Minghui’s mix up displayed the decoy function nine yin flowers served. Nine yin flowers carried an undetectable poison that would ruin one’s meridians and numb their body once crushed. An hour later, the victim would perish.
“Where’s the nine qi soul purifying flower, then?” Xiaoshuai asked.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
“I wish I knew. We’ve already searched this entire mountain.” Mu Yu studied his map again. He clapped and said, “I know where we went wrong. This isn’t the tallest peak!”
“What do you mean? We confirmed this is the highest peak from below before we came up here. Look, we can see all the other peaks from here.”
The handwriting had been exposed to the ravages of time.
Mu Yu: Who in the world is Illusionary Clear Rain? They can’t be a fiend based on the timing of this. I’m guessing the mountain they crashed down was the tallest mountain. Crazy to think a human was here and crashed that gigantic mountain down. I can’t imagine any Primordial Infant Realm cultivator pulling that off. I’m really starting to question if this world is merely a desolate world where fiends roam.
“Hey, Xiaoshuai, do you know who Illusionary Clear Rain is? You claimed you could knock the mountain over, didn’t you?”
“Sounds familiar. Don’t you reckon their name resembles the white beard old man?”
“White beard old man? My Shifu? Sword Shadow Dust Gale and Illusionary Clear Rain. Oh, hey, they both have the character for shadow in their name and share some similar themes. Could they be associated somehow?”
“Beats me. I think he mentioned the name before, but I don’t remember now. Who cares? Anyway, let’s just take the flower and go. It’s freezing up here.”
“Good point.”
The moment Mu Yu pulled out the flower, small ripples shook the air. He stored it in a wooden container Ku Mu gave him. Ku Mu cast Mystic Ice Formation on the container so that it could preserve the flower. The bridge crumbled and returned to the atmosphere as air once it had fulfilled its duty.
Mu Yu’s next target was to find the dark herb. In respect to escaping Second Heaven, well, that was on the back burner for the meantime. There were still plenty of unexplainable things. Nevertheless, at least, he had finally obtained the nine qi soul purifying flower.
