Chapter 86: Hundred Flowers Maze? This fragrance is a bit heady

"Friends of talent, regardless of background, regardless of righteous or demonic, since you have come to my Tianxiang Valley today, you are guests."

On the floral platform, Saintess Hua parted her lips slightly, and her voice was amplified through the Formation, clearly spreading across the entire plaza.

Although she was dressed in full attire today, she was incomparably dignified.

But the myriad charms oozing from every gesture still made countless Cultivators below stare blankly.

"This Saintess chooses a Dao Companion, not looking at family background, not looking at the Sect, only looking at three points."

She stretched out three tender white fingers.

"First, you must have extraordinary strength."

"Second, you must have a firm Dao Heart."

"Third…"

Her gaze shifted, and finally she paused on Gu Lan for a split second with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"To have the ability to make this Saintess's heart flutter."

Whoosh—

The crowd below instantly let out wolf-like howls.

"Saintess, rest assured! I, Wang Tiehu, will definitely make your heart flutter!"

"Get lost! With that face full of pockmarks, don't scare the Saintess! Look at me, Zhao Ritian instead!"

Gu Lan shook his folding fan, listened to the surrounding clamor, and helplessly shook his head.

"This woman is truly a natural disaster."

He evaluated in his heart.

"Alright, enough small talk."

Hua Nongying waved her delicate hand, and those rare spiritual flowers around the plaza suddenly moved without wind.

Countless petals soared into the sky, intertwining in the air to form a huge pink mist Formation.

"The first trial is called the Hundred Flowers Maze."

"This Formation is composed of the pollen of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine kinds of spiritual flowers from Tianxiang Valley."

"It can not only disrupt one's mind, but also stir up the deepest desires in one's heart."

"Those who can walk out of the maze within an incense stick's time are qualified to enter the next round."

"Start!"

With an order, the Cultivators who could no longer hold back rushed into the pink mist like crucian carp crossing a river.

"Ah——!!!"

Just after a few breaths, ghost-like howling came from the maze.

"Beauties! So many beauties! Don't run!"

"Money! It's all Spirit Stones! I'm getting rich!"

"Mom! I don't want to cultivate immortality anymore! I want to go home and farm!"

Those Cultivators who had been making solemn oaths just moments ago were now biting pillars frantically, rolling on the ground and making a scene, and some even started stripping off their clothes in public, making a complete fool of themselves.

"Tsk tsk, this composure is simply too poor."

Gu Lan stood outside watching the bustle, not in a hurry to enter yet.

"Hmph, a bunch of trash."

A cold snort came from beside him.

I saw the burly man named Mad Saber Nie Feng, carrying a ghost-head saber as big as a door panel, walking into the maze in large strides.

"Break!"

With a roar, Saber Qi raged around his body, forcefully carving a path through the mist. Although his steps were a bit unsteady, his speed was not slow.

Following closely, Jian Wuchen of the Wanjian Sect also moved.

He was unhurried, and with every step he took, a Sword Qi lotus blossomed beneath his feet.

The pink mist, as soon as it approached within three chi of him, was shredded by the sharp Sword Intent.

"This is Sword Heart Clarity?"

A flash of appreciation crossed Gu Lan's eyes.

"A bit interesting."

"Looks like I should get moving too."

Gu Lan closed his folding fan, tidied his lapel, and walked slowly toward the maze under everyone's gaze.

"Look! That pretty boy went in!"

"Hehe, looking so handsome, he's probably just a silver-pewter spearhead, he'll definitely kneel at the first round!"

"I bet he won't last ten breaths inside!"

Amidst the taunts of the crowd, Gu Lan stepped into the pink mist with one foot.

Hum—

As soon as he entered, a rich, sweet fragrance rushed over his face, drilling straight into his body through his mouth, nose, and pores.

The scene before his eyes instantly changed.

No longer a plaza, but a luxurious sleeping palace.

Countless stunning beauties wearing thin gauze and graceful figures swarmed in from all directions.

Some giggled, some were shy, each stretching out lotus-root-like arms, wanting to pull at Gu Lan's clothes.

"Young Master~ Come play~"

"Young Master~ This concubine is so hot~"

That voice went numb to the bone, and that scene was extremely erotic.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have long been lost in the tender embrace.

But Gu Lan only raised an eyebrow.

"Is this it?"

He smiled disdainfully.

Compared to those actual battles he experienced on Cuiyun Peak, this illusion… was simply too plain!

"Senior Sister Hongxiu's legs are longer than this."

"Senior Sister Lanyu's temperament is colder than this."

"Lüluo… hm, even Lüluo has more substance than these illusions."

Gu Lan strolled forward while making comments.

Those pink mists not only failed to make him get lost.

Instead, they were automatically absorbed by the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique within his body.

"Hmm… The scent of this pollen is quite pure."

Gu Lan took a deep breath, showing an intoxicated expression on his face.

"It's a bit like the arousal aromatherapy used during that thing, it would be great if I could bring some back for the Senior Sisters to taste."

He walked faster and faster, even leisurely humming a little tune.

The illusions around him trying to confuse him were completely vulnerable in front of his powerful Divine Sense and rich experience.

"What?!"

On the high platform, Hua Nongying, who was originally watching the show, suddenly stood up.

Through the Formation, she clearly saw Gu Lan's performance.

Other geniuses were struggling to resist, using spiritual power to isolate the pollen.

Look at this guy!

He was actually… inhaling?

And still looking so enjoyed?

"This is Dream-Drunk pollen! Even a Golden Core Stage Cultivator would be infatuated if they inhaled too much, why is he… why is he fine?"

Hua Nongying's beautiful eyes widened in utter disbelief.

"Could this be the special feature of the Pure Yang Body?"

No.

Not just the Pure Yang Body.

She keenly perceived that an extremely profound Cultivation Technique seemed to be operating inside Gu Lan's body.

Transforming all the pollen with aphrodisiac properties into pure spiritual power!

"What a Gu Lan…"

Brilliant colors flashed repeatedly in Hua Nongying's eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled into an even richer seductive smile.

"This Saintess is becoming more and more satisfied with you."

In less than half an incense stick's time.

At the exit of the maze, a white figure slowly walked out.

Gu Lan shook his folding fan, his clothes neat, not even a single strand of hair was out of place.

Even, his complexion was a bit more ruddy than before entering, just like he had just eaten a nourishing banquet.

"Hoo—"

He let out a long breath, looking at Jian Wuchen, Nie Feng and others who were still struggling bitterly and sweating profusely at the exit, and said with feigned surprise:

"Eh? Why did you brothers just come out?"

"The air in this maze is so good, the smell is so fragrant, I couldn't bear to come out."

"Pfft—"

Mad Saber Nie Feng, who had just rushed out of the maze and was still panting heavily, almost lost his breath upon hearing these words.

Fragrant?

Couldn't bear to come out?

I was almost driven crazy by the illusions inside!

Even Jian Wuchen's poker face twitched, looking at Gu Lan's eyes as if looking at a monster.

"This child… is his Dao Heart actually this firm?"

He was secretly shocked in his heart.

Being able to walk as if on flat ground in the Hundred Flowers Maze, treating pink skeletons as nothing, this kind of composure was simply terrifying!

"First place! Gu Lan!"

The Tianxiang Valley Elder responsible for recording was stunned for a long time before loudly announcing.

The whole audience was in an uproar.

"How is it possible? That pretty boy is actually number one?"

"Cheating! It must be cheating! He definitely has a Magic Treasure to ward off poison on him!"

"Shut up! People walked out based on their own ability, didn't you see even Jian Wuchen is ranked behind him?"

Gu Lan ignored the surrounding discussions and walked straight under the floral platform.

He raised his head, just meeting Hua Nongying's eyes that seemed capable of dripping water.

"Saintess Hua."

Gu Lan closed his folding fan and whistled frivolously.

"This first round is too simple, not very challenging at all."

"Is there anything more exciting?"

"For example… entering the bridal chamber directly?"

Hua Nongying looked down at him from above, not only not angry, but laughing so hard her branches and flowers trembled.

"Young Master Gu, do not be anxious."

"Since Young Master feels it is not exciting enough, then the next round…"

She extended the tip of her tongue, licked her red lips, and a trace of dangerous light flashed in her eyes.

"This concubine will play with you personally, how about it?"
