Another burst of rich fragrance came, and Li Wei woke up again.
She shook her heavy head and tried to move her hands and feet. The physical fatigue and discomfort had basically disappeared.
Only his spirit was still somewhat sluggish.
She subconsciously looked inward at her sea of consciousness, and the two petals of her natal white lotus were still drooping.
"Alas~"
She couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Okay, stop being sad and gloomy. It's time to get up."
Jiang Xinyue's voice came from outside the "petals", with her usual teasing and nonsensical tone.
As soon as the words fell——
Swish——
The nine petals wrapped around Li Wei, like petals carved from red jade, slowly unfolded outwards layer by layer.
In the misty red light, Li Wei's figure was still a little blurry, like a newborn fairy in a lotus, appearing on the center of the flower.
Beside the lotus pond, Jiang Xinyue was still wearing her fiery red dress, sitting cross-legged on a raised jade platform.
She waved casually at Li Wei, and it was as if a breeze lifted her up...
Li Wei felt her body lighten, and she flew up uncontrollably, landing lightly on the jade table.
There, on a futon, a set of brand new clothes was neatly folded, complete from inside to outside.
Jiang Xinyue looked at her with interest, which made Li Wei feel a little embarrassed. She blushed and hurriedly put on her underwear and women's martial arts uniform.
Only after everything was tidied did she have time to look around carefully.
This seems to be an underground cave of medium size.
The entire pool of water emits a strange soft light, illuminating the cave clearly.
The air was filled with the rich fragrance of lotus and a hint of water vapor.
She and Jiang Xinyue were standing on a white jade platform of about seven or eight square meters. The jade platform was smooth and slightly cool to the touch.
There are four narrow white jade bridges extending from the front, back, left and right of the cave, connecting the four walls of the cave like jade belts.
Four jade bridges divide the circular lotus pond surrounding the jade platform into four regular fan-shaped areas.
In the center of each fan, there is a lotus, each emitting a different scent.
Among them, the red lotus where she had just lived was the most luxuriant and flourishing.
Nine huge petals are in full bloom, and the corolla is big enough for a person to sit or lie down.
These days, she lay in this red lotus, wrapped in the warm red light.
Opposite the red lotus is a white lotus.
At this moment, the bud of the white lotus is about to open, and the nine petals are slightly restrained, revealing a sense of restraint and tenderness, as if it is still accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to bloom.
Whether it is a blooming red lotus or a budding white lotus, they all have nine petals, no more, no less.
But the scene in the other two sectors is somewhat different.
The corolla of one of the golden lotus plants was obviously smaller and had only six petals.
Moreover, the edges of its golden lotus petals were a little dry and curled, and the entire corolla looked listless and wilted, somewhat similar to the wilted state of the two small white lotus petals in her sea of consciousness.
As for the last sector, it is even more desolate.
In the pond, there was only a lonely lotus stem, with a dry and broken lotus pod on the top. The whole lotus pod was as black as ink, without even a petal.
Li Wei was surprised by this scene and couldn't help asking, "Grandma, what is this place?"
Jiang Xinyue raised her eyelids and said calmly, "This is the base of the Four Seasons Sword Formation."
"Four Seasons Sword Formation?"
Li Wei's heart moved. When she first met Jiang Xinyue, she had heard her mention this name, but she didn't pay much attention to it at that time.
But now, seeing with his own eyes this sword formation base that looked like a fairy cave, he was deeply shocked.
[The Jiang family is clashing with the "Lotus"? Even the base of the sword formation is a lotus pond?]
[But...why are the lotus flowers in these four ponds not symmetrical at all? It's driving my OCD crazy...]
"Grandma, why are the golden lotus petals missing three? And in which pond are all the flowers dead?" She pointed to the pitch-black lotus stems.
Jiang Xinyue answered in an unusually simple manner: "I don't know."
Li Wei: "Huh?"
"Do you think I'm a know-it-all?" Jiang Xinyue rolled her eyes at her. "The 'Four Seasons Sword Formation' was something my mother stumbled upon some time ago. This is what it looked like when I first saw it."
"Even my mother doesn't know why. If you ask me, who should I ask?"
Li Wei: “…”
[Okay, just pretend I didn't ask.]
[I wonder if this sword formation is related to the Jiang family's natal lotus...]
While Li Wei was thinking, Jiang Xinyue suddenly snorted, raised her hand and grabbed her collar.
Li Wei felt her feet suddenly leave the ground, and the scenery in front of her instantly turned into flowing reflections, so fast that she could not distinguish them at all.
When she came to her senses again, she had returned to the small courtyard where she had met Jiang Xinyue before.
In the courtyard, the slight damage caused by her awakening of the White Lotus has now been completely repaired, and there are even two bluestone pillars and a polished stone table.
On the stone table lay a brand new belt quietly. It was exquisitely designed and much better looking than her previous one.
The moment she saw the belt, Li Wei immediately put the formation base and other things behind her, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Cicada Wing Soft Sword!
Or a new one?!
"The one you had earlier was a low-end product, containing less than 10% of the 'existence substance'."
