Chapter 91 The Ancient Lotus Under the Moon (Part 2)

For now, I'll put it into my Qiankun Bag.

After that, the activities of exploring the valley, chasing butterflies, and admiring flowers were relatively more free.

Moreover, because there were no "rewards," many independent cultivators who were focused on cultivation left without participating.

Tomorrow is the grand event, and Senior Brother Lu followed Senior Cong Yuzhen to the main hall of Linghua Valley early in the morning to discuss matters.

The members of Dongyuan Sect and the two disciples of Sheyang Sect followed Yan Xun and played together.

Flowers and beautiful women should be a relaxing and leisurely occasion, but unfortunately, Cheng Yu is the spoilsport.

He always tries to be overly attentive to Sheng Yun and Gu Qingqing, and makes silly jokes.

Beneath the flower waterfall, beside the vine bridge.

Xiao He was wrapped around Song Yan's wrist, her snake tail coiled around a cluster of spirit flowers, swaying gently.

A swarm of butterflies emerged from among the wisteria, and several of them hovered above Gu Qingqing's head.

The valley is home to many flower fairies and mythical beasts.

However, they are all gentle and peaceful monsters.

Li Qingfeng sinisterly pulled out a black pot from behind his back, pretending to shovel Lingdie, which startled Gu Qingqing so much that she almost dropped the memory bead in her hand off the bridge.

Everyone burst into laughter.

As the sun set, everyone dispersed.

Inside the bamboo grove courtyard.

Song Yan had an ancient sword lying across his lap.

The sword's blade is mottled with bluish-gray, and its blade pattern is winding, resembling two plum branches growing side by side.

At the junction of the guard and the blade, the ancient characters "连理" (meaning "connected branches") are engraved.

Now that he has actually obtained the flying sword, he has become hesitant and helpless.

Naturally, he could not ascertain whether there were any mysteries within this ancient sword; he had to rely on the wondrous power of the Yin-Yang Pearl.

The Unmoored Boat of the past was originally intended to become the sword body of his future natal flying sword, so there was no problem with refining its sword energy.

But a sword cultivator can only have one natal flying sword. So how should he refine this flying sword "Lianli"?
At this moment, the ancient sword was placed right in front of him.

The Yin-Yang Pearls then ceased exhibiting any unusual behavior and remained quiet.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, I decided to refine it with spiritual power first.

Slowly infuse spiritual energy into it, and it will be completed in about a quarter of an hour.

Under its control, it is as easy as using one's own arm or fingers.

only……

The Yin-Yang Beads remained unchanged...

"Does it really have to be done with sword energy?"

He shook his head, rejecting the guess.

The inner demons, before they could even act, were absorbed into the Yin-Yang Pearl.

Only after the demonic flames dissipated did he begin the refining process.

That's probably not the reason.

But he still gave it a try.

Song Yan dispersed his spiritual power and divine consciousness imprint, and then refined it again with sword energy.

The Yin-Yang Beads remained silent.

"It seems that not just any ancient sword can be 'invited' into the realm by the Yin-Yang Pearl..."

He felt it was a pity, but he couldn't understand why the Yin-Yang Pearl had shown slight unusual activity at the beginning.

After playing with it for a while, he stored the flying sword in his Qiankun bag.

It's a bit of a shame that we didn't achieve our original goal.

But after all, it's my prize.

The description says this is a flying sword forged by an ancient cultivator who died for love, before his self-destruction...

At the very least, it's very memorable.

It's a pity that Xiao Song doesn't have any romantic feelings at the moment, otherwise it would be a great gift to his ideal partner.

For now, I can only temporarily store it in my Qiankun Bag.

Suddenly, Yan Xun's voice came from outside the door.

"Fellow Daoist Song..."

Song Yan opened the door and welcomed him in.

After touring the valley, Song Yan asked him to obtain a jade slip containing information on the types and descriptions of the spiritual flowers and plants found there.

Unexpectedly, he came right to my door, and even brought some flower tea with him.

He scanned it with his divine sense.

A Compendium of Flowers.

The jade slip contained a lot of information, with very detailed descriptions of various spiritual plants.

Instead of rushing him away, Song Yan invited Yan Xun to stay for a cup of flower tea and a few words of conversation.

Once the topic of the Hundred Flowers Compendium came up, Yan Xun started talking non-stop again.

"This flower pattern has always existed."

"In Linghua Valley, among generations of cultivators, there will always be those who love flowers and study the art of flower arrangement."

"This version is the most detailed in recent years." "It was written by Brother Liang Feng."

Song Yan was taken aback: "Liang Feng?"

In fact, Sheng Nian had warned himself to be careful of Liang Feng.

However, to this day, this person has remained law-abiding and has not done anything outrageous.

At least in the places Song Yan could see, that was the case.

Yan Xun nodded: "Yes, Brother Liang Feng and his lover are most fond of flower arrangement."

"That's why everyone feels most at ease handing over the position of Chief Steward of Linghua Valley to him."

Liang Feng is currently at the tenth level of Qi Refining, and he is not too old, around forty years old.

If resources are available to support the foundation, there is still a good chance of success.

He's capable, has good interpersonal relationships and connections, so there's nothing wrong with him being this butler.

"Brother Liang's wife?"

It seems they haven't shown their face.

Yan Xun sighed softly: "Brother Liang Feng's beloved wife was seriously injured more than 20 years ago and has been sleeping ever since."

"Huh?" Song Yan was taken aback: "What's going on?"

Yan Xun pondered for a moment and recalled, "I'm not entirely clear on the specifics. I only heard from the old man in the valley that more than twenty years ago, several demonic cultivators were chased here."

"During the struggle, Brother Liang Feng's wife was caught in the crossfire. Although she is still alive, she is unconscious and unable to regain consciousness."

"Such a thing is true..."

"Later, Brother Liang Feng kept searching for a way to save his beloved wife. Over the years, he has traveled all over the country and visited many places."

"Unfortunately, nothing has come of it yet."

"Fortunately, Brother Liang Feng wasn't too discouraged. He had previously worked with several seniors from the Sheyang Sect to explore the Moon-Supporting Ancient Lotus Spirit Seed and made some progress..."

Song Yan nodded slightly. He had heard the cultivators of Linghua Valley mention it during his tour of the valley.

I've heard that while there are methods available, the investment required is too large, and preservation is difficult.

Forget about lotus seeds; the flowers aren't even fully blooming.

After enjoying some flower tea together, Yan Xun took his leave.

I sat alone in the courtyard.

His consciousness sank into the jade slip.

After a quick glance, I found my real target.

"The Ancient Lotus Supporting the Moon".

There is a lotus flower painting on the side.

"When the flower buds first emerge, they are like frozen ice crystals; when they bloom, the petals are as translucent as moonlight."

"A single lotus flower that holds the moon can only produce one lotus seed."

"When mature, the lotus seeds are lifted by the moonlight, and they are completely white."

"Lotus petals can be used to refine 'Purifying Moon Talismans' to suppress evil spirits, inner demons, and illusions."

"The moonlight spiritual energy released when the ancient lotus is in full bloom can slightly improve a cultivator's physical constitution."

"The lotus seeds of the Moon-Supporting Lotus can be used to refine many ancient elixirs..."

"Furthermore, lotus seeds are full of vitality and are rumored to be able to help cultivators reshape their physical bodies."

"..."

Song Yan felt a pang of sympathy.

He recalled that when the lotus flowers were in full bloom, there was indeed a ray of moonlight that lifted the lotus seeds.

Unexpectedly, the moonlight could actually improve one's physical constitution.

My attention was completely focused on the lotus seeds, and I didn't realize when the moonlight had faded away.

"However, if that wasn't luck, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future to exchange a few withered seeds with the cultivators in the valley."

It now seems that this withered ancient lotus seed is not considered particularly precious to the cultivators of Linghua Valley.

Having previously studied alchemy, Song Yan knew a little about it.

Many precious spiritual plants and herbs in the cultivation world have been gradually becoming scarce since long ago, and are now almost extinct.

It can probably only be found in ancient ruins and lost secret realms.

It seems that the Moon-Holding Ancient Lotus is one of them.

Even the spirit seeds were withered and decayed, making them difficult to cultivate.

At the end of the section introducing the ancient lotus of the moon, there seems to be some experience regarding the ripening of withered seeds.

"The ancient lotus spirit seed of Tuoyue, passed down through generations in the valley, has withered and decayed in this filthy place."

"If it is infused with the spiritual power of pure Yang thunder magic, its vitality may be restored."

"However, the Thunder Spirit Method is good at removing impurities but lacks sharpness. It can only urge the flowers to bloom, but cannot produce lotus seeds."

"..."

I see……

He remained silent, but his mind began to wander.
