Chapter 62 Rotten Bone Flower
"Sister, Tianyuan Secret Realm! Someone over there talked about the rotten bone flower. Do you know about the rotten bone flower?" Yu Tong asked.
"I know a little bit, not much!" Gu Shihan responded.
"Sister, there is a record of the Rotten Bone Flower in my inheritance, but this Rotten Bone Flower is a bit weird. It can only bloom after absorbing enough fresh blood, flesh and spiritual energy from the monks. The flower blooms for a very short time, only a quarter of an hour.
When the flowers bloom, they need to be picked immediately and stored in a cold jade box.
The entire body of the rotten bone flower is a treasure. Its tendons and flowers can bring back life to a person who has died within three days. Its leaves are excellent for healing wounds. Even a disabled person can become full of life with it.
It is said that flower petals are an indispensable auxiliary ingredient in refining the beauty pill." Yu Tong transmitted the message.
"Rotten bones, rotten bones, it turns out that such a precious life-saving item comes in such a bloody way. You said that Tianyuan City recruited a large number of people into the secret realm just to pick rotten bone flowers? Is there any trick in the City Lord's Mansion? Is it possible that they want to provide nutrients to the rotten bone flowers?!" Gu Shihan frowned.
"Sister, you're right, it's really possible. If Tianyuan City wants to prosper, the rotten bone flower must not be cut off, but the rotten bone flower needs the fresh blood and spiritual power of the cultivators to nourish it.
Given the characteristics of the bone-rotting flower as it grows and blooms, the sacrifice of monks is inevitable.
From what I observed, the monks who came here did not know that the growth of the rotten bone flower required the monks' fresh blood and spiritual power.
All we know is that it relies on the corpses of monks for nourishment and growth.
The Tianyuan City Lord's Mansion would definitely not want to let their own people die, so isn't an outsider the best choice?"
Gu Shihan narrowed her eyes in thought. There were too many doubts that she couldn't figure out. The information she got was a little frightening, and she had an ominous feeling.
The two planned to continue investigating in Tianyuan City and then move to the vicinity of the Tianyuan City Lord's Mansion to investigate.
"Yutong, I always feel that this Tianyuan Secret Realm is unusual and exudes an evil flavor. And this City Lord's Mansion has too much yin energy."
Gu Shihan was paying attention to what other people were saying while talking to Yutong.
Suddenly, white lights appeared in the sky and then fell into Tianyuan City.
"The Tianyuan Secret Realm is about to open! Isn't it three days later?" Someone shouted.
Gu Shihan held Yutong's hand and looked at the white light moving through the crowd.
All the monks who were covered by the white light disappeared from the spot and were thrown into the secret realm like dumplings.
Gu Shihan just felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and his eyes went dark before he lost consciousness...
"What's going on? Why am I in an iron cage?"
"Ah! Where are we? The secret realm has been opened, so why am I locked in a cage? Who? Who locked me up?!"
"Who? Come out, why are you arresting us? What are you doing?"
When Gu Shihan regained consciousness, he heard some people shouting uncontrollably and sobbing.
Gu Shihan's eyes moved and he struggled to sit up, only to find that he was also locked in a narrow iron cage, and Yutong was in the cage next to him.
There were many cultivators around him, some in the Foundation Establishment stage and some in the Golden Core stage, all of them were locked in iron cages.
I didn't see any cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, so it seems that the people they arrested were really selective.
"Sister! What's going on? Do you want me to burn the cage?"
"Yutong, don't be anxious. Let's investigate the situation first. We must make sure everything is safe."
Before Gu Shihan finished speaking, the panel task that had not appeared for a long time was updated. The task was still to rescue people, and there were three rotten bone flowers.
The situation was unclear, so Gu Shihan didn't dare to be careless. She pricked up her ears to listen to the movements around her, and soon she got a general idea of the situation.
It turned out that after the secret realm was opened, they were teleported into the secret realm. However, while they were still being teleported, they were controlled by the high-level monks of the City Lord's Mansion with soul-binding ropes and locked in an iron cage.
It turned out to be a conspiracy of the City Lord's Mansion. Their purpose was to induce the rotten bone flower to bloom.
This Tianyuan Secret Realm had actually been refined long ago by Tianyuan City's ancestor, Tianyazi. It was a semi-controlled personal space of his, the purpose of which was to grow the Rotten Bone Flower.
It is called half control because Tianyazi cannot fully control the Tianyuan Secret Realm. To put it bluntly, he only controls one area of it and cannot control other places.
He was lucky enough to control a part of the secret realm, but it was actually accidental. Thousands of years ago, he mistakenly entered the Tianyuan secret realm and was seriously injured. In order to survive, he contracted a contract with the flower spirit of the evil Corruption Demon Flower.
The Bone Flower is actually a companion plant of the Demonic Rot Flower. The Demonic Rot Flower needs to grow, and the Bone Flower is indispensable.
Most of the Rot Bone Flowers become nutrients for the Rot Demon Flowers. This is one of the reasons why the Tianyuan Secret Realm is rich in Rot Bone Flowers, while the Rot Bone Flowers on the market are still scarce.
Tianyazi's cultivation level also increased rapidly with the help of the Corrupt Demon Flower, and he is now a Divine Transformation cultivator.
In order to obtain nutrients for the future Rot Demon Flowers, it is imperative to cultivate a large number of Rot Bone Flowers.
It is said that Tianyuan City was originally just a small town. Because of Tianyazi's Tianyuan Secret Realm, it developed into a big city in just a thousand years. The city lords are all from the Yin family.
"Sister, I'm afraid we are all the nutrients prepared by the City Lord's Mansion for the Rotten Bone Flowers. There are no less than 200 people here. How many Rotten Bone Flowers can we cultivate?!"
"Well, Yutong, let's try to escape. As for the people here, we should save as many as we can. Although this bone-rotting flower is good, its growth process is too evil. We can't stay here!"
Gu Shihan tried different methods to open the black iron cage. No matter whether it was fire or ice, the cage still could not be opened. It seemed that the only option was to use the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
"Sister, be careful. There are high-level monks outside the valley where you are imprisoned. If you go out now, you may not be able to escape their spiritual detection." Yu Tong said in a low voice.
"Yutong, I know. We have to save ourselves and others. Isn't the most urgent task to escape?"
Gu Shihan was a little anxious. Xing Bai in the space said, "Hanhan, the Rotten Bone Flower has a weakness. It can only sense strong spiritual power fluctuations. If there is no spirit, or the spiritual power is weak, it cannot sense it. This is also the reason why there are no Qi Refining cultivators."
Xing Bai's words made Gu Shihan feel relieved. Without spiritual power, would the Rotten Bone Flower not be able to sense them? This way, he would have time to find a way to open the iron cage and escape.
It seems that this is the reason why the City Lord's Mansion only catches the Rotten Bone Flower and the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core?
Yuanying monk, maybe it’s not that they don’t want to capture the Yuanying monk, firstly, they can’t catch him, and secondly, they are afraid that the failure of the capture will expose their plan and make them the public enemy of the monks.
As for the Qi-refining cultivators, they are only slightly better than ordinary people and their spiritual power is weak. The Rotten Bone Flower probably cannot sense them, so it would be a waste of effort to capture them.
