Recovering memories now

Xu Bai’s words startled Liu San.

However, he quickly realized that the ‘suicide’ Xu Bai spoke of referred to this Clone.

“Young Lord, why go to such lengths? With me and Old Fang here, and the Medicine King True Cauldron, even if we can’t win, it won’t be difficult to escape.” Liu San looked at Xu Bai, somewhat puzzled.

Xu Bai did not explain further: “It’s just a precaution.”

Seeing this, Liu San no longer pressed the issue. Instead, he instructed: “If it’s for the convenience of self-destruction, Young Lord can use spiritual power to envelop the Soul Melting Body Dissolving Pill and swallow it into your Dantian. At a critical moment, dissolve the Medicinal Pill, and its potency will spread throughout your body in an instant. During this process, you also need to pay attention to…”

After listening to Liu San’s detailed instruction, Xu Bai calmly swallowed the highly toxic Medicinal Pill.

Feeling the presence in his Dantian that could take his life at any moment, Xu Bai’s heart immediately felt much more at ease.

“Adding the method from ‘Qi Xuan True Spirit Transformation’ that allows one to abandon the Clone’s life at any time, with this double insurance, I should at least not be unable to die.”

After all, the Clone needs to go to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Headquarters and meet the derivation law jade, and there’s no telling what level of powerful Cultivators he might encounter there.

And Xu Bai’s appearance and temperament are unique…

Making thorough preparations is only reasonable.

“Next, it depends on how Fellow Daoist Jiao performs.”

Xu Bai stood in the Beast Seed Realm Void Realm, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of spatial obstacles, seeing the scene within Tianling State.

—

“Damn it, the last time our Tianling State was this lively was still…”

Inside Tianling City, the Cultivator guards sent by the Tianling City Town Guardian to maintain order looked at the dense crowd of Cultivators gathered in the city and cursed under their breath.

However, the words caught in his throat.

As if forgetting something important, he didn’t come back to his senses for a long time: “When was the last time our Tianling State had so many people?”

He asked, somewhat confused.

“It was the Tianling State War,” a thin, stern-faced Cultivator beside him said coldly.

The lost memory resurfaced in his mind, recalling what felt like centuries ago, the guard Cultivator felt as if he was in another world, his expression becoming somewhat dazed: “Yes, before the Tianling State War, there were also so many people in the city.”

“Old Sun, your memory is really good, I almost forgot about it…”

Sun Qi ignored his colleague’s mumbling and checked the 【Flower Cave Heaven Invitation】 in his arms again, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes.

The Flower Cave Heaven Invitation was the invitation to the upcoming 【Flower Appreciation Assembly】.

Due to the sheer number of Cultivators who came admiringly, even the massive space that the Tianling City Town Guardian had long opened up was somewhat insufficient.

To prevent any chaos, all Cultivators who wished to enter and see the true appearance of the 【heavenly spirit true flower】 had to enter in order of arrival.

Since they had all traveled a long way, the entry fee of one hundred contribution points was naturally not something the Cultivators would particularly care about, and they were willing to pay it.

The key was time.

The Cultivators in line had already crammed the entire Tianling City. Even, unprecedentedly, the teleportation array connecting the outside world to Tianling City had been temporarily closed.

Ordinary Cultivators didn’t know how long they would have to wait to see the heavenly spirit true flower.

And this 【Flower Appreciation Assembly】 didn’t state how long it would be held for.

The heavenly spirit true flower was also entrusted by its owner to the Thousand Mile Hall, and it could be taken away at any time. It was very likely that if they missed this opportunity, they wouldn’t get another.

Of course, the sooner they saw the heavenly spirit true flower, the better.

This Flower Cave Heaven Invitation was precisely the qualification certificate that allowed early entry without queuing.

It was said to have been resold for ten thousand contribution points per copy, and the quantity was limited, so it couldn’t be bought just by wanting to.

The reason Sun Qi had one was because his uncle had given it to him.

Sun Qi’s uncle, Sun Liancheng, was the newly appointed Tianling City Town Guardian of Tianling State.

A Dao Integration cultivator, he was the Town Guardian of the Tianling region.

“This tianling flower indeed has some secrets. It seems to have become somewhat different compared to what I’ve seen before. You can go and see, perhaps you might even be able to successfully Breakthrough.”

Sun Liancheng’s tone was somewhat indifferent, seemingly not holding much hope.

No other reason, it was simply because Sun Qi had been trapped in the Golden Core Realm by the 【Heaven’s Calamity】 for far too long.

He had tried every possible method, even risking his life by going to the Tianling battlefield to fight desperately, attempting to Break through the profound barrier with the great terror between life and death, but all ended in failure.

Apart from Sun Qi himself, the rest of his Family had given up.

“tianling flower…” Sun Qi’s mind conjured its image from his memory.

As a native Cultivator of Tianling State, he was naturally no stranger to this item.

Before the war, when he was in the mood, he had occasionally bought a few pots to take home and admire.

However, after the war, the tianling flower became tainted with the scent of blood.

Every time he saw it, he would recall the hellish scenes during the Tianling State War. Thus, he never bought one again after that.

“I didn’t expect that primordial tianling flowers would still exist in the world.” Sun Qi couldn’t help but feel a little lost in thought.

When a colleague came over to complete the task handover.

Sun Qi hurriedly returned home, changed his clothes, and headed straight for the 【Flower Cave Heaven】.

The Flower Cave Heaven was the venue Tianling City had prepared for this Flower Appreciation Assembly, jointly opened by his uncle Sun Liancheng and a Cultivator named Zhao Chong.

Zhao Chong was a person known for his love of flowers.

This time, upon hearing that the Flower Appreciation Assembly was being held in Tianling State, he asked someone to find Sun Liancheng, offering to help open the venue for free. He simply wanted an opportunity to witness the heavenly spirit true flower’s beauty.

Although Zhao Chong was only a Soul Transformation Cultivator, he had extensive connections and relatives everywhere. He had intricate ties with several respected Dao Integration cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Sun Liancheng found it difficult to refuse and could only agree.

The entrance to the Flower Cave Heaven was right on the Dharma Transmission Plaza in the city, where a dark-faced Jiao Xiuyuan had set up a table and was smilingly blocking the entrance.

After showing him the Flower Cave Heaven Invitation, Sun Qi was finally able to enter the Flower Cave Heaven.

Before he could even clearly see his surroundings, an intoxicating floral fragrance assailed his nostrils.

On the open ground covered with flowers, many Cultivators were already seated on chairs woven from green vines.

Sun Qi, who was usually more reclusive, scanned the area but didn’t find anyone he knew. So, he directly found the seat corresponding to his invitation and sat down, waiting patiently.

After an unknown period, the Flower Cave Heaven suddenly became noisy.

The first batch of lucky ones had begun to gradually enter the Flower Cave Heaven.

When all the Cultivators had entered, Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly appeared on the high platform in front, which was built from various beautiful flowers.

The red wooden box in his hand immediately attracted the attention of all the Cultivators present.

“Fellow Daoists, the Flower Appreciation Assembly officially begins!”

Without much superfluous talk, Jiao Xiuyuan announced after a simple opening remark.
