Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms: Sunflower Lord

The two halves of mist, which had been sizzling and burned by the blazing flames of the Blazing Blade, ceased their struggle completely within a few breaths, turning into two small puddles of charred, foul-smelling ashes, devoid of any life.

Almost at the moment the core of the fog was completely annihilated, a faint, yet incredibly pure, pale blue energy stream, imbued with the yin-cold properties of water and the characteristics of shattered soul power, emerged from the ashes as if drawn by an invisible force. At a speed that was difficult for the naked eye and ordinary divine sense to detect, it instantly entered Ji Ruchang's body.

This energy flow is not a physical entity, but rather a gift of some kind of rule, directly affecting his contractual connection with the Golden Sunflower in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Only Ji Ruchang could clearly feel that this power flowed directly into the bottom of the dry well through the mysterious passage, merging into the first Golden Sunflower, whose growth rate had reached 93 points.

The flower plate seemed to pause slightly, and then the light it emitted seemed to become even more solid.

Information is constantly being updated in my mind:

[Tier 1 Sunflower: Golden Sunflower (Growth: 99/100)]

[Status: Recognized as Lord (Extremely Satisfied)]

[Daily Semen Reserves: 0 units]

"Six points of growth!" Ji Ruchang's heart skipped a beat, followed by a surge of immense joy.

This Yinhe Water Ghost actually provides six points of growth, which is twice as much as a normal beginner zombie (3 points)!

Clearly, the "nutrients" brought by its level of strength are also much richer.

The fact that his daily energy reserves were 0 puzzled him slightly.

Based on previous patterns, killing an evil spirit of this level should require at least 0.6 units of daily essence.

But the next moment, he understood why.

Just as the pale blue energy flow merged into the sunflower and its growth rate increased, he vaguely sensed that the Holy Sunflower seed placed between the two Golden Sunflowers seemed to "tremble" very slightly, and the milky white halo on its surface seemed to brighten by an insignificant amount.

And the 0.6 units of daily essence that should have been generated... seemed to have been "silently absorbed" by this greedy seed as soon as it appeared!

They didn't even get a chance to be featured in the Daily Essence Reserves section!

"This sacred seed... it doesn't even spare this little bit of mosquito leg?" Ji Ruchang was speechless, but then she thought about it and realized that this confirmed what the information said—it needs continuous nourishment from the source of yang.

The amount of sunflower essence and this small amount of sunflower essence may be a drop in the ocean for it, but little by little, it will have some effect.

His attention was quickly drawn to the number 99/100.

So close!

With just a little more growth point needed, the first Golden Sunflower will reach the first stage of perfection!

At that time, will it be directly "upgraded" to the second tier?

Will the "split" option reappear?

Or are there other changes?

Regardless of the type, it will inevitably bring a significant boost to strength, and may even unlock new assistance for exploring the courtyard!

The eerie fog left behind by the dead Yinhe water ghost was slowly dissipating, but the air was still filled with coldness and unease.

In the distant night sky, the lights of distress fireworks rising from other directions had not yet completely died down, and one could still faintly hear shouts and the clash of weapons coming from further away, muffled by distance and buildings.

Clearly, Qinglan County is currently experiencing a large-scale, multi-point attack by evil spirits.

If it were an ordinary night patrolman, he would surely be filled with solemnity, vigilance, and even a trace of fear at this moment.

After all, such organized or widespread outbreaks of evil spirits often mean greater danger and uncertainty.

However, Ji Ruchang's feelings at this moment had nothing to do with the word "fear".

Looking at the number 99/100 in his mind, feeling the surging starlight true essence within his body, and the blazing blade at his waist, the ancient bronze mirror and the bronze lamp in his storage bag, an irrepressible excitement and eagerness ignited in his chest like wildfire!

crisis?

No, this is an opportunity!

It's a "gift package of experience" delivered right to your door!

In his eyes, those evil spirits that wreaked havoc in different corners of the city were no longer just a threat, but rather walking "resources" that radiated an alluring light!

As long as he carefully avoids areas where the aura in his star chart senses is too strong and clearly beyond his control, he can safely harvest these evil spirits amidst the chaos, accumulating resources for the completion of the Golden Sunflower and for future cultivation!

So close!

Just a little bit!

Perhaps the next evil spirit you encounter will provide this crucial point!

How could he not be excited?

How can we not be in such a hurry?

"Boss... now that the fog has cleared, that thing should be dead." Sun Xiaowu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, then pointed to the charred ashes on the ground. "Should we... relight the campfires that went out along this route?"

And then... defend this area?

Qian Laoliu nodded in agreement, his tone tinged with lingering fear and a hint of relief: "Yes, boss, our team has already taken down a powerful Yinhe water ghost, which counts as a merit."

Something's not right tonight; signals are being sent out everywhere, and there's probably going to be a lot of trouble.

"We are outnumbered and outgunned, so we should focus on securing our own area and wait for the garrison commander and the others to be free to handle things..."

The two men's meaning was clear: danger lurks everywhere, and self-preservation is the top priority.

Their squad had already secured a kill, which was enough to complete their mission; there was no need to risk going to other more dangerous or uncertain places.

Ji Ruchang understood their thoughts.

Their strength was limited, and their senses were suppressed. If they hadn't seen through the illusion, the three of them would probably have been in grave danger.

They instinctively want to avoid unknown and dangerous areas.

But Ji Ruchang's goal was not merely to "defend this area".

He needs more "resources"!

We need that last bit of growth!

His expression turned serious, his gaze swept over his two teammates, and his voice was steady and firm: "Xiao Wu, Lao Liu, you're right."

But look up at the sky.

He pointed to the lingering traces of fireworks in the night sky: "There was more than one distress call."

This means that there are quite a few evil spirits attacking the city tonight, and it may have been premeditated.

If each of our squads only guards its own little territory and doesn't support each other, what will happen to our brothers who are in danger?

What should be done about the residents whose homes have been invaded by evil spirits?

He paused, then said with an unquestionable resolve, "The Night Patrol Division is all of one mind; helping each other is our duty!"

The city is in chaos right now, and we need to work together with one heart and one mind!

Let's go and light the campfires that have gone out along the way, and then head straight to the nearest location where a distress signal was sent!

"Let's see which team is in trouble, we'll go help them right away!"

These words were spoken with great righteousness and resounding force.

Coupled with Ji Ruchang's formidable strength and mysterious methods in easily slaying the Yinhe Water Ghost, Sun Xiaowu and Qian Laoliu were momentarily speechless and even felt a sense of shame and fervor.

Boss... not only is he strong, but he also has high aspirations and is truly responsible in critical moments!

Seeing that the two men's expressions relaxed, Ji Ruchang said no more and took the lead in doing so.

He swiftly used a torch to rekindle the several exorcism bonfires along the way that had been extinguished by the mist of the Yin River ghosts.

The orange flames rekindled, though still faint, they seemed to have rekindled a few points of hope in this chaotic darkness.

After doing all this, he did not hesitate to choose the general direction from which the nearest distress signal fire was being lit—an old residential area located at the junction of Qingpingfang and Chengnan.

"Keep up!" he shouted, his figure moving like the wind as he sped off in that direction.

Sun Xiaowu and Qian Laoliu exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness and a hint of resignation in each other's eyes.

Are you leaving the two of them alone in this area where a battle has just taken place and the fog has not yet completely dissipated?

They were even more uncertain!

Although the boss is going to a more dangerous place, at least he is strong. Following him might increase our chances of survival.

"Let's go! Follow the leader!" Qian Laoliu gritted his teeth, gripped his knife, and followed.

Sun Xiaowu quickly caught up as well.

The three-person team once again ventured into the night.

This time, however, Ji Ruchang, the leader, moved with even greater speed, his eyes were sharper, and there was even a barely perceptible, hunting-like excitement at the corner of his mouth.

His mind had already sunk into the star map within his body.

The unique sensory network formed by those thirty-six star apertures is like the most sophisticated radar, continuously scanning the energy fluctuations within a range of hundreds of feet.

Which places have dense but relatively stable yin energy (possibly ordinary yin-gathering places), which places have violently churning yin energy with strong malice and activity (evil spirits are active), which places have weak energy but with a sharp edge (other night watchmen may be fighting)... All this information can be clearly discerned in the star map.

He deliberately avoided several areas in the star chart that had an unusually heavy and dark aura that made him feel a little uneasy, and instead focused his attention on the areas where the aura was relatively "moderate" and fluctuated violently (meaning that a battle was taking place).

"Almost there...almost there...supplies, I'm coming!"

The night was deep, and danger lurked everywhere.

But for Ji Ruchang, this chaotic night in the county town had become his own... hunting ground!
