Two days later, Li Chengyi went to Andu. After eting with Emperor Yi, he accepted the mission for the Garden of Fate Team to fully support the national logistics.
Da Xiong’s dical technology and Rainbow Candy’s cybersecurity technology were fully integrated into the vast current of Yi Country’s logistics departnt.
Due to the uncertainty of the Blind Spot, the rest of the team, as a condition of the negotiations, were not assigned to front-line duties.
To placate Mingyuan Group, which had already ford ties with several great families and many local nobles, Emperor Yi even offered a series of vacant positions, allowing Li Chengyi to arrange for so of his own people to join the governnt departnts and enjoy the benefits of sinecures.
After quickly resolving these concerns, Li Chengyi’s next task was to choose a new main flower for his ninth Divine Flower Position.
This ti, his requirent for the main flower was that it should assist him as much as possible in his cultivation of the True Seal.
And he already had a candidate in mind for such a flower.

Eternal Botanical Garden.
Nowadays, the botanical garden houses various odd-shaped greenhouses, large and small, looking like blocks built by children, one here and one there, the protrusions signifying caprice.
Between the gray block greenhouses are ordinary green belts used for decoration.
Dense crowds of visitors shuttle back and forth among these green belts, admiring the garden’s various exotic flowers.
"After transplanting a large number of exotic plants from various places, our botanical garden, regardless of the cost, has beco the most comprehensive and finest botanical garden in the entire province,"
Zhou Xingtong, who had been unseen for a long ti, carefully introduced the recent changes to Li Chengyi.
She led the way in front, frequently looking back at Li Chengyi.
Surrounding them were a host of botanical garden staff, including the managent manager.
But the one leading the conversation was still Zhou Xingtong at the mont.
"In fact, the increase in the variety of flowers and plants in the Eternal Botanical Garden is also thanks to the support of several high-level executives from Mingyuan Group. They have transplanted various flowers along with their variants, creating unique flower lakes. As the na implies, at a glance, they look like lakes ford by flowers, very beautiful."
Li Chengyi nodded, listening to the introduction, his gaze, however, was scanning the surroundings.
He noticed that the popularity here had indeed improved a lot from before; most of the visitors were families, with a minority being couples and various video hosts taking pictures for their platforms.
"Currently, we have a high popularity on mobile platforms like Fei Yu and Xiao Lan Jing. Especially the flower lake project, which has attracted many tourists from other provinces. Although still operating at a loss, compared to the beginning, the ratio of investnt to returns has decreased by a lot. Sotis, there is even a month where we have a positive revenue."
As Zhou Xingtong introduced the park, she led the way to a small greenhouse of about a hundred square feet and pressed on the fingerprint lock on the door.
Soon, with a soft click, the door unlocked.
The sunlight, pale gold, shone in through the windows at the top and sides, and inside there was a small cluster of sky-blue flowers.
The blue of the petals was extrely pure, without a hint of other colors.
Centered amid the blue petals, the flower stans, yellow with a touch of red, presented a sharp contrast in color.
As soon as Li Chengyi entered, his eyes were instantly captivated by the clump of sky-blue flowers.
The flowers were not large, each the size of an egg, and the leaves and stems were fuzzy, with a layer of small white thorns.
He walked closer, squatted down, and gazed at the flower cluster just over a dozen centiters tall, gently reaching out to touch one of the blossoms.
Each flower had six petals, perfectly shaped, yet strangely they had no fragrance.
These were flowers without a scent.
"Sorry boss, this is all we could find in a short ti. The rest are too far away and transplantation is difficult. This flower generally only grows in higher elevations, and there was no market demand for it previously, so there has been little research. We have to start from scratch..."
Manager Chen Yuqin now had a much higher inco and was much more cooperative and proactive than before.
She was also apologizing for the limited quantity of the flowers.
"To have found this much in such haste is already good, after all, they are flowers from lofty heights," Li Chengyi said, unconcerned.
His attention was wholly focused on the vitality flowing into his fingers from the flower.
’Multi-thorn Green Fleece Mugwort: Family Papaveraceae, Genus Mugwort, an annual herbaceous plant, mainly grows in rock crevices above 4,000 ters altitude, with benefits such as invigorating blood circulation, reducing stasis, and pain relief. It flowers and fruits from June to September.’
These were minor details; the key was in the Flower Language Ability.
Li Chengyi focused his attention on the Flower Language information that followed.
’Flower Language: Tenacious Life (Trait 1: Rapid Adaptation. Trait 2: Significant Enhancent of Life Force)’
’This is the one....’
Li Chengyi exhaled softly.
Among ordinary flowers, so had particularly extraordinary Flower Language Abilities.
He had previously collected the Flower Language of the Green Fleece Mugwort, but because it was not very useful at the ti, he rely stored it as data.
Now, the formidable specialization of its Flower Language perfectly suited to greatly increase his cultivation speed while practicing the True Qi Martial Arts.
The essence of True Qi ca from three aspects: one, the Essence of the True Seal; two, Consciousness Power; and three, one’s own life force, naly vigor.
The fusion of these three elents refines what is called True Qi.
And the Flower Language of this Green Fleece Mugwort could greatly enhance his life force.
This, in turn, indirectly laid the foundation for cultivating a substantial amount of True Qi Martial Arts.
’If I can sustain the life force consumption, I can use the Flower Language every day to accelerate the flow of the Essence of the True Seal.’
Using Flower Language to accelerate cultivation every five days—this was his current greatest limitation in practicing True Qi.
Asking Zhou Xingtong and the manager to collect Green Fleece Mugwort was aid at solving this issue.
As his attention concentrated,
Li Chengyi quickly and naturally comprehended the relevant information of the two traits conveyed by the Flower Language.
This thod of transmitting information was unique to the Mark of the Evil Flower, a non-verbal form of communication.
The first trait of the Flower Language, Tenacious Life: Rapid Adaptation, was sowhat similar to but less potent than the Spring Fleabane’s Flower Language Technique, which allowed adaptation to the surrounding environnt, altering oneself to fit the environnt and drawing sustenance from it in return.
However, Tenacious Life’s first trait wasn’t like that.
Rapid Adaptation helped one to beco more accustod to an unfamiliar harsh environnt quickly, reducing friction and conflict with it, but it lacked the ability to draw strength from the environnt.
It rely served to lessen damage.
Although not as potent as the Spring Fleabane’s ability, it was valuable nonetheless.
This is just a characteristic, there will be new characteristics later.
Gathering his thoughts, Li Chengyi looked at the second characteristic, significantly strengthened vitality.
This characteristic is the core of the Flower Language Technique, and is very straightforward, which is a passive tenfold increase in vitality. And this increase is not a one-off, but increases proportionally with the strengthening of the body.
The next amplification, just have to wait for the Flower Language Technique to evolve, then it can be activated again.
’It’s you...’
Having made up his mind about the ninth Divine Flower Position, in a dinsion invisible to ordinary people, the Mark of the Evil Flower on him rapidly lit up with a blue glow.
The sky-blue color, like the sky itself, tinged Li Chengyi’s face a pale blue.
He quickly stretched out his hand, gently touching each flower, absorbing all of their essence.
Soon, countless essences converged into the ninth Divine Flower Position, forming a lifelike pattern of a Green Fleece Mugwort flower.
"You go out first, I want to study here alone for a while."
Li Chengyi gave the order.
"Yes."
Zhou Xingtong and the rest of the botanical garden staff left the greenhouse one after another.
Watching the automatic door slowly close, seal shut, and lock.
"Has the boss always been this weird?" A mber of the managent asked the manager sowhat speechlessly.
Leaving Zhou Xingtong, such a beautiful black-silk secretary unused, and instead locking himself in the greenhouse alone with so flowers...
And the beautiful and sexy secretary, dressed in an OL (office lady) outfit, was left outside the door, not allowed to enter.
No matter how you looked at it, this situation was odd.
"You’ll get used to it." Chen Yuqin, who had been managing here with Li Chengyi from the beginning, was long accustod to it.
"Our boss is soone who loves flowers; he isn’t interested in the opposite sex." She added a sentence.
"Uh..." The people around involuntarily stepped back, their expressions peculiar.
They were all new staff who had been newly recruited, and it was their first ti hearing the manager’s assessnt of the boss.
Zhou Xingtong had nothing to say in response, standing outside, leaning against the smooth temperate glass of the greenhouse, she simply closed her eyes to rest.
She was already immune to such scenes.
Inside the greenhouse now.
Li Chengyi continued to absorb the essence of the Green Fleece Mugwort, a small cluster of flowers, and quickly replenished the first percentage of essence.
After replenishing, there were a few flowers left over, just enough.
As the essence reached a hundred percent ratio.
A dazzling blue light burst forth from the Divine Flower Position.
Then, a subtle feedback appeared in his mind.
’Would you like to activate the passive Flower Language Technique effect now?’
’No.’
Li Chengyi was concerned about any abnormal drastic changes, so he chose to not activate it for the ti being.
Standing up, he then checked the evolve count of the Green Fleece Mugwort.
’Only three tis?’
’No... rather, astonishingly there are three tis!?’ Li Chengyi quickly realized.
With each evolution, activating the passive Flower Language Technique characteristic once, if each ti it was tenfold, then... four cumulative amplifications by tenfold...
If nothing goes wrong... this Flower Language Technique will provide him with an extrely suitable aid in his cultivation!
Glancing at the ti, Li Chengyi turned and opened the door, next were the final preparations.
He was going to et Yserine, to appease her and get so information, then he would head straight for Midlane.
Having delayed here for seven days, Midlane might already be seven years later, he wondered how Chen Jiahan was faring.
And this ti, upon his return to Midlane, he would quickly gain more Imprints and maximize his strength as much as possible.

Shaoyin Country·Quling Mansion.
In a sowhat dilapidated and deserted courtyard.
Creak.
The courtyard gate was pushed open from the outside, a tall man in a black lining and a light blue long robe stepped in slowly.
The man had a stern face with sharp features; it was none other than Li Chengyi, who had just returned from Earth-Moon.
To be precise, it should be Wang Yichen.
He did not switch to another identity, but continued on Wang Yichen’s path.
The reason was that the consolidation and fusion of the True Seal, True Qi Martial Arts was more suitable than Blood Essence Martial Arts.
Blood Essence Martial Arts is a customized martial arts tailored to specific bloodline physiques for the concoction of new True Seals.
Whereas True Qi Martial Arts require much less in terms of physique compared to Blood Essence Martial Arts.
Therefore, he still chose to continue the path of True Qi Martial Arts.
In doing so, the identity of Wang Yichen, which had accumulated for so long, naturally should not be easily discarded.
Entering the room, a tall, thin figure suddenly erged from a dark corner, raising his head to look up at him.
"Who’s there!?"
The man didn’t finish his sentence when he stopped abruptly, staring dumbfounded at Li Chengyi.
"Lord Wang!??" The person was Liu Mingyang, who had co from Xinng Town, the youth he had saved from the wilderness.
The youth of the past had now fully grown into a young man.
And looking at his body, it seed he even had the foundation of Wang Family’s Qingyuan Dan Technique True Qi.
