Chapter 142: The disappearance of the Twin Spirit Flowers is somewhat troubling, but you have to...
Some troubles you have to face, Xu Hui thought happily.
Of course, she wasn't so unreliable as to adopt a strategy of selecting soldiers and generals, at least she used some brains.
She could only choose from twenty or so plant spirits, so she naturally had to be cautious.
First of all, exclude those she doesn't know. No matter how pretty and charming they look, she can't choose them!
Secondly, it is what benefits you the most. As for this, uh, that’s nonsense.
After all, in her limited time, the knowledge about the world of cultivation that she learned and understood had all been screened by Wei Mubai and was beneficial to her.
Therefore, among the spiritual plants she knows, those must be beneficial to her.
So the second condition is ruled out, so the third point, maximizing benefits...
This, well, is also nonsense!
Any spiritual plant that can give birth to monsters is extremely precious and it is difficult to tell which is better.
The constructive suggestion for her choice is that in addition to being useful to herself, those spiritual plants should also be useful to the people around her!
The first to bear the brunt was Wei Mubai.
But he has ethereal roots and is originally independent of the five elements. He can use anything that is beneficial to other cultivators.
Moreover, he is an alchemist, a fifth-grade alchemist. High-level spiritual plants can create greater value in his hands. There is no high-level spiritual plant that he doesn't need!
Therefore, this condition is not constructive.
But Xu Hui still excluded other spiritual plants with more practical value and chose the extremely unconventional living flower.
This is a rootless flower that can only be planted in the dantian of a cultivator. It has no other use and its only function is to generate spiritual power autonomously.
It is a special spiritual flower that does not need to absorb external spiritual energy after being planted, but instead generates spiritual energy.
But its unconventional nature lies in the fact that it generates very little spiritual energy, while the resources required to feed its growth are extremely precious, resulting in a pitifully low return on investment.
The spiritual power generated by a first-level creature flower in a month is not as much as what a Jindan stage cultivator absorbs in half an hour of meditation. The amount is really small.
When one reaches the Nascent Soul stage, the ratio will further increase. As the cultivator's strength increases, the spiritual power it can provide will become less and less sufficient.
The resources that feed its growth are all rare and precious spiritual plants.
That’s right, the Life Flower can only grow by devouring high-level spiritual plants, the higher the level, the better.
Who would use those high-level spiritual plants to feed such a useless creature?
After much consideration, Xu Hui decided to choose it!
There was no other reason, she just thought of the book where Wei Mubai stayed in the realm of nothingness for nearly a thousand years, and there was no spiritual energy at all!
There is no doubt that no matter how long Wei Mubai stays there, his cultivation level will not improve.
She was not sure whether she had changed Wei Mubai's fate. Things like heavenly tribulation cannot be changed just by saying so.
The deeds of Venerable Canglan also show that perhaps the disaster was only delayed, rather than disappearing directly.
As long as he hasn't become an immortal, Wei Mubai may enter that state, perhaps no longer the state of nothingness, so could it be a similar place?
A place where one cannot obtain spiritual power and cannot practice, such as a crack in time and space!
In this way, the Life Flower can come in handy, as it can provide Wei Mubai with spiritual power for his cultivation.
Although the number is small, if he is really imprisoned for a thousand years, the accumulated spiritual power will be enough for him to advance to a higher realm.
Xu Hui’s choice may not be very rational, but she doesn’t want to change it!
She remembered all the good things Wei Mubai had done for her, but there was not much she could do to help Wei Mubai. What she could contribute was beneficial to the Wei family, but not to Wei Mubai himself.
Although the Life Flower is useless, it may be exactly what Wei Mubai needs!
As for the difficulty in feeding the Living Flower, is it not worth it?
This was indeed the case before she had the Heart of Wood. She might have needed to spend top-grade spirit stones to raise those high-level spirit plants.
But with the Heart of Wood, things are completely different. She doesn't plan to grow too many Daotian Wood. The Wood Spirit Crystals she harvested this time are enough. Apart from this, Daotian Wood has no more value.
So she planned to plant those high-level spiritual plants within the radiation range of the Heart of Wood.
There are many high-level spiritual plants that can be grown in the desert environment!
The Life Flower only needs to devour high-level spiritual plants, but there is no limit to the types.
For her, it's actually a no-cost business!
Oh, by the way, the Living Spirit Flower is also the best food for Guixu Grass. It can reduce the amount of spiritual power absorbed by Guixu Grass from the outside world, but the growth rate remains unchanged, which can be regarded as energy saving and spiritual reduction.
This is also beneficial to Xu Hui. After all, if Guixu Grass absorbs less, she can retain more for herself!
Even if the degree of reduction is very small, even negligible, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, so eating more is always useful!
From another perspective, the Life Flower is also extremely precious. After all, as one of the spiritual plants on the list of unconventional spiritual plants, it is really rare in the world of cultivation. It seems that the real thing has only appeared once.
How can scarcity not be considered one of its values?
So, Xu Hui made up her mind and chose the Life Flower as the second one!
The creatures and flower elves in front of me are so beautiful as a dream. On one flower bush, seven colorful and different flowers are miraculously blooming. The flowers are red like flames, orange like warm sunshine, yellow like golden autumn, green like emerald, blue like the deep sea, bluer than the clear sky, and purple like hibiscus.
Legend has it that there are seven levels of Life Flower. The primary Life Flower has only one solid-colored flower, which is beautiful but ordinary. After upgrading, a second flower will grow, and the color is different from the previous one.
Only when it grows seven-colored flowers can it be considered a true life flower, which has the effect of nourishing spiritual power.
The monster in front of him was obviously a mature life flower. After being transplanted into the space, according to its properties, there would be an endless supply of life flowers available.
The mature life flower is extremely resilient. After picking one, a new one will grow within half an hour. Unless seven flowers are picked at the same time, it will never wither.
In addition, the picked flowers will soon grow into new plants under the stimulation of spiritual power, becoming primary living flowers. After being fed by high-level spiritual plants, they will be promoted step by step to mature seven-color flowers.
Therefore, as long as you get a life-giving flower, you will never lack life-giving flowers. The only thing you lack is not being able to take out so many high-level spiritual plants to feed them. But this is not a problem for Xu Hui!
According to the previous steps, go to the system space to learn first, pinch the incantation and cast the spell to bring the consciousness of the flower spirit into the space, and follow its pull to come to a magnificent sea of flowers.
The sea of flowers before my eyes is vast and boundless, like a huge piece of colorful tapestry, spread between heaven and earth, so beautiful.
The sunlight poured down from the blue sky like a golden waterfall, sprinkling on every flower, turning them into crystal clear, glittering gems, sparkling with charming brilliance.
In the sea of flowers, colorful flowers compete with each other in beauty and bloom. The breeze blows gently, the fragrance of flowers fills the air, and the air is filled with intoxicating aroma, which makes people feel relaxed and happy and reluctant to leave.
In the sea of flowers, jade-carved bees fly up and down, lightly shuttling among the flowers. Their golden wings sparkle in the sun, complementing the sea of flowers, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
Such a moving picture, but it hides a deep murderous intention.
This beautiful jade bee, which looks like a jade carving, is one of the extremely rare and ferocious bee swarms in the world of cultivation. Especially when they are in groups, even Jindan stage cultivators will be afraid of their power.
Their stings are highly venomous and once stung, the victim will suffer months of agonizing pain, with muscles and bones twisted and deformed.
So far, there is no antidote that can alleviate the invasion of this toxin. The only way is to cleanse the essence and marrow to expel the toxin from the body.
Therefore, no one dares to provoke them easily, but the honey brewed by jade bees has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, and is extremely delicious.
Jade bee honey is jade-colored, delicate in texture, and melts in your mouth, with a light floral fragrance and sweetness.
Moreover, the nectar produced by different types of flowers is completely different and has its own characteristics.
Some honeys have a fresh fruity aroma, some have a rich floral scent, and some have a light herbal aroma.
But without exception, they are all extremely delicious and are the most important raw materials for making pastries in the world of cultivation.
After Xu Hui had it once, she could not forget it and could not eat any other pastries since then.
But the Jade Peak is not only very aggressive, but also very delicate and difficult to raise.
They are extremely picky about flowers, and only the nectar produced by a few rare flowers can meet their survival needs.
In terms of temperament, they are even more sensitive and irritable. Any slight movement may touch their sensitive nerves, causing a riot and madly attacking all living things around them. No matter whether it is a monk or other creatures, they cannot escape their edge.
What's even more troublesome is that once the jade bee becomes enraged, the queen bee's internal organs will fail in a short period of time due to the inability to withstand the severe emotional fluctuations, and eventually die.
The death of the queen bee means the destruction of the entire bee colony.
Therefore, Yufeng is an existence that is extremely easy to exterminate a clan. It is extremely rare in the world of cultivation and it is estimated that it can only be found in places where there are few people.
Moreover, once angered, it is difficult for them to continue to reproduce, unless a new female bee happens to be born in the hive. After the queen bee dies, she will naturally evolve into a new queen bee and nurture a new batch of jade bees.
Not to mention how much resources were consumed during this period, the new queen bee and the new jade bee still inherited the previous generation's irritability and difficulty to raise, and groups died at any time.
Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to train a group of Yufeng.
As soon as they sensed Xu Hui's arrival, they all flew up alertly, buzzing towards her, like an angry black cloud, quickly condensing and lowering, releasing strong hostility.
Xu Hui's heart trembled, knowing very well how powerful these jade bees were. If she didn't take action, she would suffer a lot of pain if they got close to her.
However, if you resist directly, it will anger them and cause them to retaliate in a suicidal and crazy manner, with equally worrying consequences.
But Xu Hui didn't want to suffer in vain. Moreover, she had to find the real body of the living flower, which would inevitably disturb them. Sooner or later, she would be attacked, so it would be better to take action directly.
So, she took out the spiritual sword quickly and decisively, and her spiritual power surged like a river bursting its banks, pouring into the sword.
Suddenly, the light became brighter, and the spirit sword seemed to be given life, like a lightning that cuts through the night sky, dazzling and bright.
Xu Hui jumped lightly, her figure drawing a graceful arc in the air, like a fairy descending to the earth.
At the same time, the magic sword in his hand danced, and the sword light weaved like a net, forming an impenetrable sword net, covering all the approaching jade bees.
Wherever the sword net passed, the jade bees fell one after another, without any escape.
The jade bees seemed to be frightened by the sudden attack and were at a loss for a moment.
But soon, they regained their madness and rushed towards the sword net desperately, trying to break through this death barrier and fight to the death with Xu Hui.
However, Xu Hui showed no mercy. His swordsmanship was superb. Every sword strike was perfect to cut off the wings or head of the jade bees, strangling them one by one invisibly.
The number of jade bees continued to decrease, and soon the ground was covered with their corpses.
At this moment, the queen bee finally lost her patience and became extremely angry.
It made a deafening buzzing sound, which shook the sky and earth like thunder, making the entire sea of flowers tremble.
The queen bee flapped its wings and flew high, her figure like a black lightning, carrying endless anger and fierce murderous intent, rushing towards Xu Hui with the force of thunder.
Its eyes were like burning torches, flashing with hatred, and its movements were as fast as lightning.
Facing the queen bee's crazy attacks, Xu Hui remained calm, her figure as graceful as catkins in the wind, and she easily dodged the queen bee's fierce attacks again and again.
Her steps were light and her figure was graceful. Every turn and dodge was just right, like a breeze between heaven and earth, making her elusive.
This is the "Chaos Light Body Art". Even if you are as fast as a queen bee, you still can't catch up with her, and Xu Hui seems to be extremely relaxed and at ease.
The biggest advantage of this technique is that it uses very little spiritual power. Even when her spiritual power is exhausted, she can still escape from danger with her extremely fast body movements, making her hard work worthwhile.
While flying in the air, Xu Hui did not relax. He swung the magic sword in his hand mercilessly, with sword lights shining like weaving and murderous intent evident.
His swordsmanship was exquisite, and each strike found the queen bee's weakness at just the right moment.
However, she did not directly chop at the queen bee's head, but played with the queen bee little by little with a cat playing with mouse mentality.
She first swung her sword and accurately broke one of the queen bee's wings.
The queen bee suddenly lost her balance, staggered, and her attack power was greatly reduced.
Xu Hui's mouth curled up slightly, and he swung the magic sword in his hand again, cutting off the queen bee's other wing as fast as lightning.
At this time, the queen bee completely lost the ability to fly and could only fall helplessly to the ground. Her huge body struggled on the ground, emitting terrified wails.
However, Xu Hui did not stop there. His figure flashed like a ghost, and the magic sword in his hand chopped at the queen bee's limbs like a storm.
The queen bee kept screaming in fear, and her body gradually became pieces under Xu Hui's attack.
However, just as Xu Hui was about to give the queen bee the final blow, the queen bee suddenly stopped struggling, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
It decided to take a gamble and self-destruct in exchange for a last chance to fight back.
But before self-destructing, the queen bee must first lay eggs in her abdomen to continue the bloodline of the race.
The queen bee's abdomen began to wriggle violently, and a powerful vitality was brewing within it.
Seeing this, Xu Hui was delighted. She had finally waited for this moment.
It was worth her effort. She first killed all the Jade Peaks, then repeatedly provoked the Queen Bee, and finally waited until she decided to self-destruct.
In order to ensure the continuation of the Yufeng group, the bee born at this time must be a female bee, who can evolve into a new queen bee, so that the Yufeng group will not be completely extinct.
And this is also Xu Hui’s purpose!
She doesn't care about the beauty and skin care effects, but she can't forget the wonderful taste of jade honey after having tasted it once. She still has endless aftertaste when she thinks about it now.
But jade honey was too rare and precious. As the wife of the second young master of the Wei family, she only got a plate of snacks made of jade honey, which was completely unable to satisfy her appetite.
Now that I have the opportunity, I must of course find a way to raise a batch of them so that I can have a steady supply of honey.
The difficulty in raising Jade Peak Plants lies in the fact that they have very high requirements for flowers and do not like other creatures invading their territory. They cannot adapt to a new environment and would rather die than live in disgrace.
But these are not problems for Xu Hui at all. The fire orchid planted in the space is their favorite flower scent, and the fire orchid nectar is said to be the best tasting among all the jade honey.
This is the only kind of flower it grows in, confined to a valley.
Release the new queen bee here and set up a trap outside so that no living creatures come in to disturb them. They will not get angry and eventually die of anger.
Xu Hui didn't need to enter the valley and anger them to get the honey. She could just use her mind to search the hive and take some away.
In her space, these operations would not alarm any of the jade peaks at all.
That's why Xu Hui deliberately stimulated the queen bee to let her give birth to the future new queen bee, because only in this way would she have the opportunity to nurture Yufeng.
He stared closely at the queen bee's abdomen, afraid of missing any details.
Finally, accompanied by a faint "click" sound, crystal clear bee eggs rolled out from the queen bee's abdomen, scattered on the ground, and sparkled with soft light.
She quickly stepped forward, waved her hand to pick up all the bee eggs, and at the same time, her spiritual sense swept away the beehive and immediately disappeared into space.
The honey in the hive is enough for the female bees to grow into queen bees, lay eggs and give birth to new bees, and then they can collect nectar continuously.
At the same time, the queen bee accumulated her last energy and exploded with all her strength, releasing it instantly like a volcanic eruption, compressing the surrounding air to the limit, and then suddenly exploding.
A dazzling light accompanied by a deafening roar instantly illuminated the entire sea of flowers, as if day had arrived.
In the light, the queen bee's silhouette gradually blurred and eventually turned into nothingness, leaving only circles of shock waves spreading out in all directions, like an invisible giant hammer, smashing hard on every inch of land.
The once colorful and vibrant sea of flowers now looked like it had suffered a doomsday catastrophe, becoming devastated and losing all its colors. And this happened in just a short moment.
Surrounding the sea of flowers, the originally crystal clear stream became turbid under the impact of the explosion. The water flowed rapidly, carrying mud, sand, dead branches and leaves, and was in a state of disrepair.
In the distance, the mountains seemed to feel the shock as well. The mountains trembled slightly, and some loose rocks rolled down, making a deafening sound.
Xu Hui was horrified, but at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately! Fortunately! She didn't get carried away and ran fast, otherwise her shark silk robe would have lost another chance to defend itself.
First, settle the beehive and put the bee eggs in it, then come out again to look for the real body of the flower elf.
In fact, as early as when she first came in, she had scanned with her spiritual sense and found that all the flowers here were of a single color, that is, they were all primary living creature flowers.
The flower monster of the living being is obviously a seven-colored flower, which is interesting. Where is the monster's real body?
With the jade bee around, she couldn't calm down and communicate with it. Although the place was devastated now, there were still many single spirit flowers alive.
Xu Hui took a deep breath and tried her best to mobilize the spiritual power circulating around her body, trying to establish communication with the creatures in this sea of flowers.
Thanks to the deep transformation of Wood Heart, her plant affinity became extremely pure, and after practicing to the second level, she soon established a subtle connection with the single spirit flowers in this sea of flowers.
"This one is not... this one is not..." She explored each one patiently and carefully, but each feedback was disappointing.
Every living flower she touched was an ordinary single-spirit flower, without exception.
She even made a special effort to check the flowers that were damaged after the queen bee self-destructed, but the result was still disappointing—they were also just ordinary single-spirit flowers, without any signs of spirits.
So, where is the true form of the flower monster?
The contractual connection provided by the system space cannot be wrong, and the main body must be in this sea of flowers.
But no matter how she searched, she seemed to be wandering in the fog and could never reach the real answer.
She looked around. The entire sea of flowers seemed calm and normal. There were no traces of complicated formations, nor any secret hiding places.
It is even less likely to be some kind of illusion, because after the queen bee's shocking self-explosion, any illusion would be exposed.
But she didn't see any flaws, and Xu Hui couldn't help but frown.
After careful consideration, she decided to change her strategy. Since the monster's true body could not be found, she would not look for it. Picking a single spiritual flower at random and feeding it with high-level spiritual plants to turn it into a seven-color spiritual flower was also an option.
Anyway, the flower spirit has no other function except emitting more wood spiritual power than ordinary flower spirits.
She picked a single spiritual flower and brought it into the space to plant. Then, she collected more than a dozen high-level spiritual plants to feed them.
When the red petals sensed the scent of food, they slowly opened, and then suddenly closed after she fed them the spiritual plant. Then, from the bud to the root, there was a period of squirming, and soon it returned to normal.
Xu Hui was extremely surprised. Isn’t the digestion speed too fast?
Out of curiosity, she continued feeding, repeating the same process over and over again until she fed the twelfth plant, when the single spirit flower finally stopped moving.
After waiting for a while, the second flower slowly bloomed, with an emerald color and full of vitality.
Xu Hui couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Just one flower consumed twelve high-level spiritual plants. If she wanted to grow seven complete flowers, the amount of resources required was simply unimaginable.
No wonder most cultivators can’t afford it and won’t try it easily. The input-output ratio is really too terrible!
With some helplessness, she teleported to the planting area again and collected twenty more high-level spiritual plants.
However, when she returned to her original place, she was stunned with astonishment.
Where was her flower? Her double spirit flower, which had cost her twelve high-level spirit plants to grow, had disappeared?
She quickly closed her eyes, and her spiritual awareness instantly spread throughout the entire planting space. However, no matter how she searched, she was horrified to find that she couldn't find it anywhere!
What on earth is going on? Could it possibly be running away on its own?
