“You’ve never seen it before?” asked Ling Chuxi in surprise.
“The Nine Lives Nine Deaths Nirvana Flower is a mythical flower. I’ve only read about it in books, so this is the first ti I’ve seen it.” Su Yizhi explained. “As the na suggests, this flower lives once every thousand years and dies once every thousand years. Only after nine lives and nine deaths, the Nirvana flower blooms and one will be able to discover it. But in between the nine cycles of life and death, its appearance – branches and leaves – always look different, mimicking other plants. According to the secret records of the sect, the Nine Lives Nine Deaths Nirvana Floweris also one of our sect’s most valuable treasures. However, other than the founding ancestor, no one else has seen its true form.”
“That ans this flower now has a lifespan of 18,000 years?” asked Ling Chuxi in surprise.
“It should be so,” said Zhang Shizhao excitedly. “Back then, our Zhang family’s ancestor was in charge of cultivating dicinal herbs. When the sect was destroyed, he didn’t bring anything with him except for a large pile of plants. According to the last words left by our ancestor, there might have been a solitary flower among them. I didn’t think too much about it at first. But who knew that it really existed and would actually bloom today.”
“Then quickly put it away. It would be a pity if it withers,” said Ling Chuxi.
“You don’t have to worry about that. The flower is different from others. Once it blooms, it turns as hard as tal. Even a divine weapon wouldn’t be able to damage it,” said Su Yizhi.
“Then what’s the use of this flower?” asked Ling Chuxi.
Su Yizhi and the other two looked at each other. Then, they shook their heads said, “We don’t know.”
“Isn’t this the treasure of Golden Pill Sect? How can you now know?” Ling Chuxi couldn’t help but widen her eyes. How could this be a valuable sect treasure if they didn’t know its use? Now it seed far less useful than the White Jade Crystal Heart.
“Ahem, well, no matter what, it’s a strange flower that can only bloom after nine cycles of life and death. It should have so use,” said Su Yizhi awkwardly.
“Let’s put it away first. Today, the descendants of Golden Pill Sect have been united and the Nirvana flower has blood. It’s a double blessing for our sect.” Zhang Shizhao laughed and took out a jade bottle to put away the Nirvana Flower before handing it to Ling Chuxi.
Ling Chuxi turned towards Huangfu Qingjue and saw the serious look on his face.
‘Could it be that he knows the use of the Nirvana Flower?’ A thought flashed through Ling Chuxi’s mind.
However, since Huangfu Qingjue did not speak, Ling Chuxi did not ask. She took the jade bottle and put it away. Huangfu Qingjue had been silent the entire ti. He must have his reasons. Ling Chuxi had always trusted Huangfu Qingjue unconditionally.
The group returned to the outside of the garden where the injured mbers of the sa sect had already bandaged their wounds and the ground had been cleaned up. Other than those who were seriously injured, everyone else had been waiting for them.
“Miss, I am Yuan Anqi. Thank you for saving my life. I will never forget it.” Elder Yuan walked up and bowed to Ling Chuxi.
“Elder Yuan, you are welco.” Ling Chuxi quickly reached out to help Elder Yuan up.
“Yes, we are all on the sa side. There is no need to be so polite,” said Elder Su.
“On the sa side?” Elder Yuan looked at the two of them in confusion.
“Elder Yuan, please greet Sect Leader Ling and Elder Su,” said Zhang Shishao to Elder Yuan with a smile.
“Sect Leader?” Elder Yuan was even more puzzled. What Sect Leader? Why did he have to pay his respects?
