Chapter 68: cangyue heart flower

He took the opportunity to take out a small bottle, reached out to scoop up a bottleful, and drank while walking.

The ice-cold lake water slid down his throat into his stomach, carrying the fragrance of green apples, along with a refreshing taste.

After drinking the whole bottle, Junior Brother Bai Ming felt his body filled with spiritual power.

Senior Brother Wei Yu was just about to turn back to introduce things, but saw Junior Brother Bai Ming looking satisfied, "Junior Brother Bai, what is this?"

"This lake water is actually quite delicious; Senior Brother, why don't you have a sip?" Junior Brother Bai Ming held up the bottle.

Senior Brother Wei Yu paused, took the bottle, and said, "Alright."

He rubbed the bottle in his hands, rotated the body of the bottle, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Junior Brother Bai Ming looked down at the lake surface and thought to himself: "I didn't expect this lake water to have an effect on the Qingming Storm Soul. I really wonder what kind of efficacy the jade algae of the blue spring growing nearby might have."

Senior Brother Wei Yu handed back the bottle, "Let's go, let's go over there and take a look."

By the side of the lake, a patch of lush grass stood on both sides, as if guarding something.

Arriving before it, Junior Brother Bai Ming grasped a stalk of spiritual grass, "This is sea-bright grass. How can there be so much of it here?"

Senior Brother Wei Yu narrowed his eyes, wearing a look of joy, "It seems there is something inside."

The two slowly pushed aside the half-meter-high grass, inching closer to the depths.

Before they reached the center, some light flashed from the gaps in the grass, white, smooth, and holy.

Senior Brother Wei Yu looked back; both of them had smiles on their faces, and their movements quickened a bit.

Arriving at the center of the sea-bright grass, a pure white flower appeared before their eyes.

Compared to the surrounding half-meter-high sea-bright grass, the white flower appeared small and exquisite, yet it emitted a gentle light.

A transparent circle of protection formed between the sea-bright grass and the white flower; they guarded the white flower from afar, as if the white flower were their princess.

"Could this be the jade algae of the blue spring?" Junior Brother Bai Ming was somewhat excited, but also felt puzzled.

No matter how you looked at it, this was a flower; it shouldn't have any connection to algae.

Senior Brother Wei Yu smiled and shook his head, "No, this should be a cangyue heart flower. Finding it on this trip means the journey wasn't in vain."

Junior Brother Bai Ming leaned in, his eyes filled with a gentle light, "So beautiful."

Senior Brother Wei Yu used his spiritual power to lift the white flower, along with the soil at its roots, "Since that's the case, Junior Brother Bai, why don't you take it back and raise it?"

Junior Brother Bai Ming's eyes hesitated, "Is this okay? It was clearly Senior Brother who discovered it."

Senior Brother Wei Yu used his spiritual power to lift the white flower, along with its roots and a handful of black soil, "We found it together, and doesn't Junior Brother like this flower? This flower is of no great use to me, so it's better to leave it to Junior Brother."

Junior Brother Bai Ming took it, his face full of joy, "Many thanks, Senior Brother."

The corners of Senior Brother Wei Yu's mouth lifted slightly, "You're being distant."

"Hehe." Junior Brother Bai Ming smiled.

After taking the cangyue heart flower, the two continued to explore for a while, but found nothing else.

After casually picking some sea-bright grass, they returned to rendezvous with Senior Sister Tao Yu.

Seeing their joyful appearance, Senior Sister Tao Yu's eyes seemed to hold a deep meaning, "Did you find it?"

Senior Brother Wei Yu shook his head, "No, but we did find a cangyue heart flower."

Junior Brother Bai Ming extended his right hand, holding the white flower in front of him, "Why don't you raise it, Senior Sister? After all, in this regard, Senior Sister certainly knows more than I do."

Senior Sister Tao Yu's eyebrows curved slightly, revealing a beautiful smile, "I will teach Junior Brother when the time comes. This cangyue heart flower not only needs to be nurtured in the center of the sea-bright grass for a hundred years, but it also needs to absorb the essence of the moon from heaven and earth."

"To be able to find it in this enclosed valley is quite interesting. It seems the lake nearby has some mysteries."

Junior Brother Bai Ming opened his palm, not daring to use force, "So it is this precious; how can I accept this?"

Senior Sister Tao Yu's tone was gentle, her eyes revealing a hint of patience, "Not necessarily, it's just that the location where it appeared is somewhat peculiar. Wait until we go back, and I will teach you properly."

Senior Brother Wei Yu reminded them, "It's getting late; let's go."

The two nodded and followed to leave.

Before leaving, Junior Brother Bai Ming went back to scoop up a bottle of lake water; Senior Brother Wei Yu noticed it, but just smiled and didn't ask.

Following the ripples on the lake surface, green wind threads flowed along Junior Brother Bai Ming's fingertips and returned to his body.

The water current under the lake surface suddenly became rapid; the ripples disappeared into thin air after spreading to a certain range, as if their trajectory had been halted.

However, Junior Brother Bai Ming was in a hurry to keep up with their pace and didn't pay much attention.

Just as he turned around, a sharp claw slowly emerged from the lake surface.

"Alright, let's set off from here." Senior Brother Wei Yu burst out with golden light.

The dazzling golden light carried the three of them rushing out of the valley.

The golden lines streaked across the high sky, unobstructed in the vast firmament.

"Junior Brother, we are leaving."

After a simple farewell, Junior Brother Bai Ming came to the small house alone and used his spiritual sense to examine his own spiritual root.

It was tattered and incomplete, but better than before, with a bit more luster.

He extended his finger, and the green wind threads spun and wove continuously, forming a small ball of light.

After being nourished by the spiritual lake, the Qingming Storm Soul had recovered by one and a half percent.

Thinking that both the Qingming Storm Soul and the Yanqing Spiritual Root had the possibility of being fully repaired, the corners of Junior Brother Bai Ming's mouth lifted involuntarily.

It was not yet midnight, and he was wholeheartedly immersed in cultivation.

Night fell, and darkness enveloped the earth.

Time was approaching; Junior Brother Bai Ming opened his eyes reflexively and sighed softly.

"I should go quickly; I'm afraid there will be trouble if I'm late." He glanced at the white flower absorbing moonlight on the windowsill and turned to leave.

The cold wind was biting, and a solitary peak stood tall among the mountains.

Junior Brother Bai Ming bowed to the figure at the high place, "Senior Sister, I have arrived."

Senior Sister Tao Yu was sitting on the mountaintop, bored. Seeing the young man arrive, she said in a gentle tone, "Junior Brother has arrived. Is that cangyue heart flower settled?"

It seems there's no problem; I should have done this long ago. As long as I push things along to help match-make Senior Sister, I won't be punished.

Junior Brother Bai Ming looked up, "According to Senior Sister's instructions, I used the black spiritual soil from the lakeside to plant it, and it is currently placed on the windowsill absorbing the essence of the moon."

Senior Sister Tao Yu nodded slightly, "It seems you have listened to my words. Remember to put it away before dawn."

Junior Brother Bai Ming smiled, "How could I dare forget Senior Sister's teachings? I will pay close attention."

"Heh."

A cold snort came from the mountaintop. Senior Sister Tao Yu leaped lightly in front of Junior Brother Bai Ming, her eyes looking inexplicable.

Junior Brother Bai Ming was puzzled, "Senior Sister, what is the matter?"

Senior Sister Tao Yu's tone was flippant, "Little Junior Brother, so your ears weren't leaking air after all."

Sensing something was wrong, Junior Brother Bai Ming instinctively retreated, but faster than him were those fair and slender legs.

A kick struck, and he was kicked to the ground.

"Then tell me, what is going on with you today? Are you not taking my words seriously?" Senior Sister Tao Yu stepped on Junior Brother Bai Ming's face, staring at him fiercely.

Junior Brother Bai Ming was somewhat innocent, "I didn't do anything; I keep every word of Senior Sister in my heart."

Senior Sister Tao Yu questioned, "Then why did you keep looking over here at me today? And those actions, dare you say they weren't done on purpose?"

Junior Brother Bai Ming felt guilty, "I just wanted to help Senior Sister."

Hearing this, Senior Sister Tao Yu's delicate body trembled slightly, and she threw her head back and laughed, "Hahahaha, help?"

"Are you getting a bit carried away, you guy?"
