Lianyi became more curious after hearing what Duoduo said, and asked in a voice transmission:
"Duoduo, tell me more about it. What kind of poison did they take? Didn't they realize it?"
"Master, the poison in these people is called 'Evanescent Flower'. I guess this poison can no longer be found in the Canglan Continent. I don't know how lucky these people are to be poisoned by this poison."
Duoduo shook the branches to express her surprise.
"A flash in the pan? What does this have to do with them becoming ugly?"
“The toxicity of this poison is very peculiar, and it is specifically targeted at cultivators. Once implanted into the body, if the person does not practice cultivation, the poison will never take effect in the body, nor will it affect the person’s marriage and childbearing. The poison will only be passed on to the offspring through the mother’s body.
Of course, if the descendants do not have spiritual roots, there will be no problem if they do not practice. However, as soon as they start practicing, the poison will begin to spread in their internal organs. The higher the level of your practice, the more ugly your appearance will be. This can be regarded as an external manifestation of the poison.
But the higher your level of cultivation, the more the poison will penetrate into your meridians and finally your bone marrow. By that time, even gods will be unable to save you."
"This is the first time I've heard of this strange poison, but I don't think it has much to do with the name of the poison."
"Master, I haven't finished yet!"
Duoduo shook her petals and continued:
"Three days before the poison takes effect, the poisoned people will restore their true appearance, which may even be three points better than their true appearance. Then, they will decline and die from the poison. That's why it is called 'a flash in the pan'."
After listening to Duoduo's explanation, Lianyi also became interested and asked directly:
"Can this poison be cured?"
“No solution.”
"Among the six people, only the youngest man in white robes looks normal, so he should not have been poisoned. His five brothers have obviously been poisoned. Didn't they notice it?"
"I'm not sure about that. I probably don't know. Otherwise, if I stop practicing, I can at least live to the corresponding lifespan."
Duoduo thought for a moment and said.
"What a pity! It would be great if Yun Rubin could be given this poison. He would live a life worse than death and never be able to ascend to heaven in this life. He would also be despised by other cultivators. Once his face is ruined, we'll see if he dares to return to the Wuyun Sect."
Lianyi stroked Xuanfeng's head and said regretfully.
"Well, it's not impossible."
Duoduo suddenly said this.
"Duoduo, do you have a solution? Didn't they say that this poison has been eradicated?"
"I can't find this kind of poison, but I can suck the poison out of their bodies and transfer it to Yun Rubin."
Duoduo proudly straightened her flower path and transmitted the message.
"This poison is so strong, can you handle it?"
Ripple asked with a smile.
"No problem. It was extracted from a plant called 'Hundred Days Red Beauty'. We are both plants, and I am a spiritual plant that excels at devouring things. It is no problem for me to extract the toxin, but they will have to pay a price accordingly."
Duoduo said seriously.
"What's the price?"
"Their cultivation will at least regress by one major realm! After all, this poison has basically merged with them, and is considered part of their strength. If I want to extract the poison, I will definitely absorb a part of their cultivation as well."
Before Duoduo could finish the rest of her words, Lianyi took her hair off her bun, held it lightly in her hand, and said with a smile:
"Duoduo! You've been following me for quite some time. Is there something you forgot to tell me?"
Duoduo was suddenly caught in the act and trembled. She blamed herself for being complacent and revealing her flaws. She immediately said in a flattering manner:
"Master, Master, please be gentle, don't pinch off Duoduo, otherwise where will you find such a cute plant pet like me?"
Lianyi pinched Duoduo and shook it, then said:
"Then why don't you tell the truth?"
"Okay! Please stop pinching me. I don't want to do that either. The world of cultivation is full of crises. If I want to survive as a second-level spiritual plant, I must not only face human cultivators, but also those monsters that want to devour me. As a last resort, I can only disguise myself, otherwise I won't be able to wait until the contract with my master is signed!"
Duoduo said pitifully.
Lianyi rolled her eyes in her heart. If she didn't know that this guy's true form was a carnivorous plant, she might have really believed it. Unfortunately, she knew Duoduo's true form very well, so she was not confused by him at all.
"Okay, after laying the groundwork for so long, let's just tell you the result."
"Yes, I have another name, the Soul Devouring Flower. The Man-Eating Plant is just my external disguise."
"Soul-devouring flower!"
Lianyi thought about it carefully and finally found the name deep in her memory.
"So you are the Soul Devouring Flower. No wonder you are so sensitive to evil spirits."
This soul-devouring flower has become extinct in the plane of cultivation where she lives, simply because this spiritual plant is called a demon flower. Any cultivator, demon beast, or spiritual plant that passes by the soul-devouring flower may be devoured by it and become its nourishment.
However, the Soul-Devouring Flower is different from ordinary spiritual plants. As long as the power accumulates to a certain level, it will be promoted and there is no bottleneck.
The cultivation world has a love-hate relationship with the Soul-Devouring Flower. The love reason is that as long as one contracts with it during its larval stage, it is equivalent to having an extra spiritual power storage device. In particular, the crystal core cultivated by the Soul-Devouring Flower can be used as a top-grade spiritual stone, which can help the owner break through to a new realm.
But the hatred lies in the fact that the Soul-Devouring Flower advances too quickly, and it can easily turn against its owner, and eventually the owner will become the flower's food. So for a while there was a wave of eliminating the Soul-Devouring Flower in the world of cultivation, and after that the Soul-Devouring Flower was almost extinct.
Lianyi didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky. She contracted a Soul-Devouring Flower while completing a mission. At least it proved that the other party's disguise was very successful, otherwise even she, a Mahayana True Venerable, would not have been deceived.
Lianyi rubbed Duoduo twice before continuing:
"Did you create the space inside your body yourself or did you inherit it?"
"It was stripped from the mother plant's body before it decomposed. It can be considered as my inheritance. However, I am only at the third level now, and the range of space I can open in my body is limited."
Duoduo said somewhat dejectedly.
"I understand. Since you are already my pet, just follow me and practice well in the future. Don't think about retaliating against me. You don't want to know what methods I have."
Lianyi raised her hand and gently stroked the petals of the Soul-Devouring Flower, saying with a very amiable smile.
The Soul-Devouring Flower trembled immediately. She was not stupid. Ever since she entered her master's personal space, she knew that her master was no simple person, so she wanted to curry favor with him.
The real reason was that she didn't dare to expose herself. As long as she devoured cultivators or monsters on a large scale, she would sooner or later be targeted by high-level cultivators in the world of cultivation. By then, she would end up with no remains left. That was why she found someone to rely on.
After all, with the support of the other party, she has now reached the third level. She is full of confidence in her future, so after hearing Lianyi's words, she immediately expressed her loyalty:
"Master, rest assured! I am your pet in life and your spirit stone in death. I will definitely follow your lead!"
