Chapter 922: Fleeting Flower

even surpassing the bride in grace.Wang Meimei, as a young girl, naturally loves beauty and hopes to maintain her youthful appearance.That's just a rumor, you know, just hear it and don't take it ser...Ripple, having heard what Doudou said, became even more curious and asked in a telepathic voice:

"Dodo, unfold and tell me, what kind of poison are they carrying Couldn't they detect it themselves"

"Master, the poison these people have is called 'Fleeting Bloom,' I estimate that this kind of poison can no longer be found on this vast Canglan Continent. It's also a wonder what luck these people had to be poisoned by this."

The flower swayed its branches, expressing its surprise.

"A fleeting moment What does that have to do with them becoming ugly"

This poison is quite peculiar in its nature, being specifically designed to target cultivators. Once it's planted within a person's body, if they don't cultivate, the poison will remain dormant for their entire lifetime, causing no harm or affecting their ability to marry and have children. However, the poison will be passed down to their offspring through the mother.

Of course, if descendants have no spiritual roots and don't cultivate, there will be no problem. But as soon as cultivation begins, this poison will begin to spread throughout the five internal organs and six fu-organs. The higher your level of cultivation, the more difficult it becomes to hide your ugliness. This can be considered an external manifestation of this poison.

But the higher your level of cultivation, the deeper this poison will seep into your extraordinary meridians and eight vessels. In the end, it will penetrate your bone marrow. At that point, even an immortal would find it difficult to save you.

"This kind of poison is the first time I've heard of it, but I feel like it doesn't have much to do with the name of the poison."

"Master, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Each petal trembled slightly, then she continued:

"In the three days leading up to a poisoned person's demise, they will regain their true appearance, even surpassing it in beauty by three parts. Then, as with all things that reach their peak, they will decline and die from the poison, hence the name '曇花一現'."

After hearing Dodo's explanation, Ripples also became interested and asked directly:

"Can this poison be cured"

"No solution."

Of the six people, only the youngest man in white appeared normal, likely not poisoned. His five older brothers were clearly showing signs of poisoning, yet they seemed unaware.

"That I don't know, shouldn't know either. Otherwise, just stopping cultivation would at least allow one to live to their corresponding lifespan."

Then DuoDuo thought for a moment and said.

It's a shame, if only I could plant this kind of poison on Yun Ru Bin, making him suffer a life worse than death. He wouldn't be able to ascend for the rest of his life and would be scorned by other cultivators. Once his face is ruined, let's see if he dares to return to Wu Yunzong.

Ripples stroked the whirlwind’s head with regret.

"Well, it's not impossible."

Duo Duo suddenly said that.

"Duo Duo, can you do something about this Isn't it said that this kind of poison has disappeared"

"I can't find this poison, but I can extract it from their bodies and transfer it to Yun Ruibin."

Each flower, proud and erect, swayed its petals as it whispered through the air.

"This poison is so powerful, can you handle it"

Ripple smiled and asked.

"No problem, that's extracted from a plant called 'Hundred Days Red Beauty'. As for me, I'm a spirit plant that specializes in devouring things. Extracting toxins is no problem, but they'll have to pay the price accordingly."

Doudou said seriously.

What is the price

"Their cultivation will at least regress by a major level! After all, this poison is basically integrated with them, and it's part of their strength. If I extract the poison, I'll definitely be absorbing part of their cultivation."

"Before Duoduo could finish her words, LianYi took them from her hair bun and held them delicately in her hand, smiling mischievously:

"

"Dodo, you've been with me for quite a while now, haven't you Is there anything you forgot to tell me"

Doudou was suddenly caught, trembling uncontrollably. She blamed herself for being too proud and exposing her flaw. Immediately, she fawningly said:

"Master, master, please be gentle, don't pinch Doudou off, or where will you find such a cute pet plant."

Then, Liàn Yī gently shook the flowers in her hand before speaking:

"Then you're not telling the truth"

“Alright! Don't pinch me, I don't want to either. This cultivation world is fraught with danger. As a second-order spirit plant, I need to survive not only against cultivators but also against those demonic beasts that want to devour me. In dire circumstances, I have no choice but to disguise myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't even make it to the contract with my master!”

Dodo spoke pitifully.

Ripples rolled her eyes. If she didn't know this fellow was a man-eating flower, she might have actually believed him. But she knew exactly what Doudou was—a man-eating flower—so she wasn't fooled at all.

"Alright, after all this buildup, let's just get to the results."

"Yes, I have another name, Ling Eater Flower. Man Eater Flower is just my outward disguise."

"Spirit Devouring Flower!"

Liàn Yī carefully thought about it and finally found the name deep in her memory.

"So you're a Soul-Eating Flower, no wonder you're so sensitive to evil."

This Spirit Devouring Flower has been extinct in its cultivation plane for a long time, simply because this spiritual plant is called the Demon Flower. Any cultivator, demon beast, or spirit plant that passes before the Spirit Devouring Flower might be devoured by it and become its nourishment.

Unlike Spirit Plants, the Soul-Eating Flower has no bottlenecks. As long as its power accumulates to a certain stage, it will naturally ascend to the next level.

The cultivation world has a love-hate relationship with the Spirit Devouring Flower. The love comes from the fact that if you contract with one during its young stage, it becomes an extra spiritual power storage device. Especially, the spirit core cultivated from the Spirit Devouring Flower can be used as a top-grade spirit stone, helping the master break through a major realm.

But the hatred was that the cultivation progress of the Devouring Soul Flower was too fast, and it was easy to backlash against the master. In the end, the master would also become the nourishment of the Devouring Soul Flower. So for a while, the cultivation world launched a wave of exterminating the Devouring Soul Flower, and afterward, the Devouring Soul Flower was almost extinct.

Ripple didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky. Just by taking on a task, she ended up contracting a Soul-Devouring Flower. At least this proved that the other party's disguise was incredibly successful, otherwise, even she, a Great Ascension True Venerable, wouldn't have been fooled.

After rippling for a moment, she continued:

"Is the space within your body something you carved out yourself, or did you inherit it"

"It was a part of the mother plant that separated from her body before she decomposed. I inherited it, but I'm only at the third stage now, and the space inside me that I can open is limited."

Dodo said dejectedly.

"I understand. Since you're my spirit pet now, just follow me in cultivation from now on. Don't even think about turning against me, you wouldn't want to know what I'm capable of."

Ripple raised a hand and gently caressed the petals of the Soul Devouring Flower, smiling warmly.

The Soul-Devouring Flower trembled immediately. She wasn't stupid; ever since she had entered her master's personal space, she knew that her master was extraordinary. That's why she wanted to cling to his leg for dear life.

The reason she didn't reveal herself was because if she devoured a large number of cultivators or monsters, the high-level cultivators in the cultivation world would eventually notice her. At that time, her only fate would be to be reduced to ashes, so she sought refuge.

At the very least, under the other party's support, she had already reached the third rank. She was full of confidence in her future, so after hearing Ripples' words, she immediately pledged her loyalty:

"Master, rest assured! I was born your pet and will die as your spirit stone. I will always follow your lead!"arrived, a group of hostages had already been taken aboard the pirate ship.The pirate leader openly negotiated with the captain of the mecha patrol, asking him to turn a blind eye and let them go.
