Chapter 3883 Half Moon Ink Lotus

Ye Bufan hesitated. On one hand, he wanted to see the half moon ink lotus, which, according to the records of the Ancient Medical Sect, was definitely a good thing.

If it weren't for the right Opportunity, one would never encounter it.

On the other hand, he didn't want to waste too much time, as he was eager to find Ye Tian, the Dark Shadow Gate, and Lu Banxia's Primordial Spirit.

Just as he was indecisive, a gentle breeze blew, filling his nostrils with the fragrance of lotus flowers.

The fragrance was faint and elegant, and inhaling it made one's spirit feel refreshed, while also carrying a hint of stimulation.

"This is the half moon ink lotus!"

In the Legacy Ye Bufan obtained from the Ancient Medical Sect, there was a detailed record of the half moon ink lotus, including its fragrance.

It had the clear fragrance of a lotus, yet was different from ordinary lotuses, which was exactly the scent he was smelling now.

"Alright then, I'll go over quickly."

Ye Bufan nodded in agreement. Since it was confirmed that this item was nearby, there was no need for him to refuse.

"That's great, thank you, Senior Brother Ye!"

Since the fragrance of the half moon ink lotus was very faint, Su Hongye and the others did not have as keen a sense of smell as Ye Bufan, so they did not notice anything.

Everyone continued forward, entering the Domain of the Nine Heavens, and after walking several tens of kilometers, they finally reacted.

"What is this fragrance? It smells like lotus, but it's somewhat different?"

Su Hongye was first puzzled, then her face filled with pleasant surprise.

"Is this the half moon ink lotus? Could it be right here?"

Speaking of this, she looked at Ye Bufan, her face full of anticipation: "Ye Dage, do you know what this fragrance is? Is it the half moon ink lotus?"

Ye Bufan nodded: "That's right, this is the fragrance of the half moon ink lotus!"

"That's great, it's really great."

Su Hongye's face was full of excitement upon hearing this, "It seems the map is real, there really is a half moon ink lotus here!"

"Junior Sister, let's go quickly!"

Gu Rusong was also both surprised and delighted, and he called out to speed up.

Now they no longer needed the map; they only needed to follow the direction of the fragrance.

Everyone moved very quickly, and in a short time, they arrived several tens of miles away.

This was an open valley, and compared to other places, the dark Qi here was even more intense.

It was full of dark Devilish Qi. If not for Divine Sense, the naked eye could not see anything here at all.

In the center of the valley was a pond about a dozen meters in circumference, where a lotus as black as ink floated quietly.

In the darkness, this lotus emitted a faint fragrance, its color was as black as ink, and its shape was also extremely peculiar.

From a distance, it looked like a huge lotus, but upon closer inspection, it was split in two, with each half resembling a crescent moon, just like the legendary half moon ink lotus.

When Ye Bufan and the others arrived, there were already dozens of people standing around the valley.

Some were Immortals who had entered from outside, and some were Dark Ghost Immortals from this place. Some had powerful Qi, while others were a bit weaker, but at least they were all Great Luo Immortals.

After all, this was the Nine Heavens; ordinary Immortals simply couldn't reach this place.

For some reason, they just stood there quietly watching, not approaching the pond, making the scene seem a bit strange.

For some unknown reason, these people's Qi was somewhat weak, much weaker compared to their cultivation.

Upon seeing the half moon ink lotus, Gu Rusong's eyes immediately lit up, and he rushed over without caring about anything else.

At this time, the people around the pond did not step forward to stop him; instead, a hint of mockery appeared in their eyes.

Gu Rusong, as an Immortal King Peak, had pushed his speed to the extreme, fearing that others would snatch it from him.

But upon entering within a hundred meters of the half moon ink lotus, his body suddenly shook, and the surging Immortal Essence began to leak out wildly like a broken dam.

"What… what's happening?"

Caught off guard, he was somewhat flustered and tried to stop, but unfortunately, he had rushed too fast earlier and had already entered within fifty meters.

When he finally managed to stand there, he felt a dense Devilish Qi completely cover his body, then frantically absorb the Immortal Essence within him.

After the Immortal Essence left his body, it immediately transformed into a part of the Devilish Qi, which then absorbed the remaining Immortal Essence again.

"What a terrifying thing!"

As an Immortal King Peak, Gu Rusong also had rich experience. At this moment, he realized that the problem lay with the half moon ink lotus.

No wonder so many people stood by and dared not approach; it turned out this thing was too bizarre.

After realizing this, he wanted to escape, but unfortunately, it was easy to rush in, but difficult to get out. Every step he took required a huge price.

When he finally managed to retreat beyond a hundred meters, his body felt lighter, and the Immortal Essence in his body stopped leaking, but he only had less than 20% left.

"It's too terrifying!"

Gu Rusong's face was pale, and he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

He had no doubt that if he hadn't escaped, he would probably be sucked dry in no time.

"Senior Brother, are you alright?"

Su Hongye said, reaching out her hand, and an Immortal Essence hand pulled Gu Rusong to their side.

"I'm mostly fine, but my cultivation is severely depleted. I'll probably need some time to recover."

Gu Rusong's expression was very grim. This time, his reckless pursuit of merit not only made him lose face but also resulted in huge losses.

If he were outside, his cultivation might recover faster, but in this Burial Immortal Valley, surrounded by dark Qi, it would take immense effort for him to regain his strength.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else. He immediately took out a pile of middle-grade celestial crystals and frantically absorbed the Immortal Spiritual Qi to replenish his internal consumption.

"Junior Sister, you must be careful. This half moon ink lotus is too strange; it will absorb one's Immortal Essence, making it impossible to get close."

"How could this be?"

Su Hongye's face was full of anxiety as she slowly tried to approach.

Having learned from Gu Rusong's earlier lesson, she walked very slowly, testing little by little.

When she came within a hundred meters, the Qi around her body suddenly changed, and upon contact with the dark Devilish Qi, the Immortal Essence in her body began to leak out frantically.

Fortunately, she was well-prepared. Upon discovering the anomaly, she immediately retreated, and the loss was not too great.

"What should I do?"

After the shock, Su Hongye's face was filled with anxiety. She urgently wanted to obtain the half moon ink lotus, but with so many people nearby who were helpless, she knew she definitely couldn't do it either.

"I'll do it."

Ye Bufan stepped to her side, "I can retrieve these two half moon ink lotuses. We'll each take one. One is enough to resolve the Devilish Qi on your master."

"Ye Dage, can you really get this thing? But it's so strange here…"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this is nothing to me."

Su Hongye's face was full of excitement: "Since that's the case, as long as you can give me a half moon ink lotus, my life, Hongye's life, will be yours from now on."

"You said it, don't go back on your word later."

Ye Bufan smiled at her, then stepped forward.

Gu Rusong and the surrounding people all looked over with strange gazes. Was this Young man crazy?

Someone had clearly already suffered a loss, yet he still dared to step forward. Under countless gazes, Ye Bufan remained calm, walking directly into the hundred-meter range of the half moon ink lotus.
