Chapter 411 She seemed to have grown closer to the twin flowers.
There really was a seed hidden in the soil!
A dark glint flashed in Su Yang's eyes.
The aura emanating from this seed felt very familiar to Su Yang!
Su Yang narrowed her eyes slightly, and after a quarter of an hour, she finally had a vague impression!
How come the scent emitted by this seed is exactly the same as that of the red spider lily?!
No...that's not right!
This seed contains not only the fragrance of the red spider lily, but also the fragrance of the datura flower!
Could it be... that these seeds are the seeds of the red spider lily and the datura flower?!
However, before Su Yang could think further, in the next moment, she suddenly felt a strange power surge within her body.
A long, narrow, bright red petal gradually emerged from Su Yang's palm.
The petal slowly fell onto the soil in the flowerpot, and then miraculously disappeared into the soil.
This scene unfolded very discreetly, with everyone around focused on their own flowerpots and completely unaware of the unusual activity on Su Yang's side.
Seeing this scene, Su Yang felt extremely depressed.
Of course she knew what this petal was!
They are petals from the red spider lily!
But why is there a red spider lily petal inside her body?!
In just a few breaths, the petal of the red spider lily that had grown from Su Yang's palm came into contact with the seed.
The long, narrow petals completely enveloped the seeds hidden deep within the soil.
boom!
In an instant, red light radiated everywhere!
Suddenly, a small, blood-red sprout appeared in the soil of the flowerpot in front of Su Yang.
Everyone else was astonished to see that Su Yang had simply placed her palm over the flowerpot and caused it to sprout in such a short time.
"Fellow Daoist, how did you make the flowerpot in front of you sprout? Did you discover something amiss?"
Su Yang quickly recovered from her surprise. She calmed herself down and then gave a cold glance at a bent-over white-haired old woman who was asking her a question.
"No comment."
The white-haired old woman was stunned by Su Yang's words.
"Hmph! If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have cared!"
"Who is this person! So young, I look like he's not even twenty, yet he's so disrespectful!"
Su Yang looked at this old codger who was acting like he was old and arrogant with a half-smile, and sneered inwardly, but did not utter a word in rebuttal.
The old woman's anger intensified when she saw that Su Yang had no explanation.
Just as she was about to say something, she noticed that the ghostly aura in one corner of the room suddenly intensified rapidly.
Immediately afterwards, the white-robed, long-tongued ghost appeared before everyone.
He was clearly there for Su Yang.
When the old woman saw the white-robed, long-tongued ghost messenger, her expression changed slightly. She cursed under her breath and angrily returned to her flowerpot.
Seeing the white-robed, long-tongued ghost approaching him, Su Yang cupped his hands and said:
"grown ups."
When Bai Wuxiang saw the small, blood-red sprout growing in Su Yang's flowerpot, his gaze towards Su Yang became increasingly curious.
"Manjusaka?! You're just a lowly spiritual cultivator, without any celestial spiritual energy from the immortal realm. You must be a cultivator from a lower realm under the jurisdiction of the immortal realm. How could you possibly grow Manjusaka?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yang felt a chill run down her spine.
She had assumed that the seed was the seed of the red spider lily.
But after hearing what the white-robed, long-tongued ghost said, he became somewhat confused.
Could this seed... not be a seed of the red spider lily?!
Bai Wuxiang clearly noticed the confusion on Su Yang's face and chuckled.
"You little rascal, you've passed the test."
"Come to my Underworld early tomorrow morning. I will then take those of you who have passed the test to examine the Soul-Nourishing Tree."
Su Yang glanced at Bai Wuxiang in front of her with some confusion, then responded and left the Underworld under the guidance of a ghost messenger.
After Su Yang left, Bai Wuxiang waved his hands, and the flowerpot that Su Yang had just planted appeared in front of Bai Wuxiang.
Bai Wuxiang stared at the blood-red sprout in the flowerpot for a long time. Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and his face was filled with shock.
"This...this isn't just one red spider lily...it's two red spider lilies..."
"No! It's not two red spider lilies, it's..."
Bai Wuxiang's expression changed, and his figure quickly disappeared from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared inside a grand hall.
On a high seat in the main hall sat a tall and beautiful woman.
"My lord, my lord! I have something important to report!"
The beautiful woman noticed Bai Wuxiang's arrival, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she frowned slightly.
"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and in such a state!"
Bai Wuxiang immediately calmed down, holding up the flowerpot Su Yang had just used, and said to the beautiful woman:
"My lord...you...you should see for yourself..."
Shuang Meiniang raised an eyebrow and examined the flowerpot with great interest.
"Isn't this the flowerpot from those who were treating the Soul-Nourishing Tree during today's assessment? What happened? Did something unexpected happen that surprised you so much?"
After Shuang Meiniang finished speaking, ghostly energy emanated from her body, and the flowerpot suddenly appeared in Shuang Meiniang's hands.
"Not bad, you've managed to grow something so quickly."
But the next moment, a hint of unease appeared on Shuang Meiniang's beautiful face.
"These are the tender shoots of the Twin Ghost Flowers?!"
"This is impossible... How could anyone cultivate the twin Nether Flowers of our Underworld?!"
It should be noted that the red spider lily is known as the flower of the underworld in their realm of the dead, but in fact, there are two kinds of flowers of the underworld.
One is the red spider lily, and the other is the twin red spider lily, the mandrake flower.
However, the red spider lily and the datura flower are mutually exclusive and mutually destructive; if one of them grows, it will inevitably mean the decline of the other.
As the ruler of the Underworld in Naihe City, Shuang Meiniang is renowned in the Underworld, and she has a very broad perspective.
The shoots growing in this flowerpot are neither the tender shoots of the red spider lily nor the tender shoots of the datura flower.
Instead, they are the tender shoots of twin flowers, the red spider lily and the datura flower.
The auras of the two twin flowers had long since merged and blended together; they lived together and died together.
Shuang Meiniang simply couldn't understand how anyone could overcome the innate incompatibility between the red spider lily and the datura flower and blend them together so exquisitely.
She was worried about the Soul-Nourishing Tree, whose condition was getting worse and worse.
The Soul-Nourishing Tree is gradually heading towards collapse.
If the Soul-Nourishing Tree cannot be healed in time, without the Netherworld Power provided by the Soul-Nourishing Tree, the Netherworld Passage of Naihe City cannot be opened for even a day.
Since the Soul-Nourishing Tree was lost, the Netherworld passage to Naihe City has been closed.
Because of this, the other four oasis cities laughed at her quite a bit.
When the Soul-Nourishing Tree was stolen, she was feeling frustrated when her fellow disciples Xia Yu appeared and boasted that they could find the lost Soul-Nourishing Tree.
Shuang Meiniang never expected that the two of them would actually be able to find the Soul-Nourishing Tree.
However, after the Soul-Nourishing Tree was found, another problem arose.
The ghost cultivators in Naihe City responsible for nurturing the Soul Tree were also helpless. The other four oasis cities were also far away from Naihe City, and it would take at least a month for them to come over at all costs.
Even so, it may not necessarily be useful.
Left with no other option, Shuang Meiniang had to seek help from cultivators in other realms to see if they had any solutions.
Shuang Meiniang narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly as she looked at the small, blood-red sprout growing in the flowerpot.
If this person has such ability.
Perhaps this will solve her immediate problem!
The next morning, Su Yang arrived at the Underworld again.
The number of cultivators waiting outside the Underworld was several times less than yesterday.
After glancing at the list briefly, Su Yang realized that, including herself, only seven or eight people had passed the assessment yesterday?!
Is that all?!
There were at least two or three hundred cultivators waiting in the underworld yesterday!
Su Yang was also conflicted; she had passed the test yesterday by some strange twist of fate.
After returning home, she repeatedly examined her body, trying to find out why there were red spider lily petals inside her, but she couldn't find the reason.
She then inspected the spiritual field within the space specifically for planting red spider lilies and datura flowers.
The dark and demonic energy became even stronger.
The red spider lilies and datura flowers are growing even more vibrant.
The long, narrow, blood-red petals of the red spider lily swayed and intertwined; if they could transform into human form, Su Yang thought they would surely be a scourge to the country.
However, its Mandarava flower is completely opposite to the Manjusaka flower.
The datura flower is a flower of high mountains, exuding an icy chill.
Su Yang estimated that the chilling aura emanating from the Mandala Flower would seriously injure even a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Then it was gone.
Su Yang did not notice anything else unusual.
But Su Yang always felt that something had become entangled between her and the two twin flowers.
It's hard to explain, but Su Yang just felt a closer connection to these two twin flowers.
This time, the underworld's ghost messengers didn't keep everyone waiting for long.
Not long after Su Yang arrived, the gates of the Underworld slowly opened.
It was Bai Wuxiang again, accompanied by several ghost messengers, who came to pick up Su Yang and the others.
Perhaps it was Su Yang's imagination, but she always felt that the white-robed, long-tongued ghost was staring at her.
"My lord, shall we go and check on the Soul Nourishing Tree?" a cultivator asked Bai Wuxiang.
Bai Wuxiang shook his head slightly. "I need to take you to see Lady Shuang Meiniang, the person in charge of our Naihe City Underworld."
"By the way, repairing the Soul Nourishing Tree is not something that can be done overnight. My name is Bai Wuxiang, and you can call me Lord Bai in your daily life."
Su Yang and the others respectfully replied, "Yes, Lord Bai."
Soon, led by Bai Wuxiang, the group arrived at a magnificent hall.
Shuang Meiniang had been waiting for everyone for a long time.
Upon seeing Shuang Meiniang, everyone except Su Yang stared at her with infatuation.
At this moment, Su Yang was also quietly observing Shuang Meiniang on the high platform.
There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. Unlike other ghost messengers and ghost cultivators, Shuang Meiniang's figure was not a ethereal, spiritual form.
Her figure and posture were incredibly solid!
Su Yang couldn't help but sigh once again at the ghost cultivators who cultivated the path of the soul.
This Shuang Meiniang is clearly not to be underestimated, having cultivated her divine soul to such an extraordinary level.
It was on Xingluo Island that she was still able to secretly observe Shuangmeiniang.
Even so, Su Yang still felt very uneasy.
If this were happening outside, her soul would probably collapse before she even got close to Shuang Meiniang...
Just then, Su Yang also noticed that something was wrong with the others and frowned slightly.
What's wrong with the others?!
A purple glint flashed in Su Yang's eyes. She was puzzled; this Frosty Beauty hadn't cultivated any seductive arts...
If she hasn't cultivated any seductive arts, then it can only be due to the effect of her gaze, which is like that of a physical soul...
Thinking of this, Su Yang became even more interested in the soul cultivation techniques of ghost cultivators.
Shuang Meiniang had obviously also noticed Su Yang's gaze secretly fixed on her.
She smiled slightly.
This young girl is quite capable.
Despite not being at the Immortal Realm level of cultivation, he was able to resist the bewitching effects spontaneously generated by her soul.
Wow, that's impressive!
The next moment, Shuang Meiniang withdrew her gaze and waved her hand slightly.
Instantly, everyone else's gaze cleared.
Everyone realized their lapse in composure and quickly apologized to Shuang Meiniang with frightened expressions:
"Lord Shuang, we were rude. Please forgive us."
Shuang Meiniang's beautiful eyes gleamed with a sharp light. She chuckled and waved her hand.
"It's alright, this is the effect of the cultivation technique I practiced. It's normal that you can't withstand it."
After Shuang Meiniang finished speaking, she glanced at Su Yang in the corner, but she didn't investigate further.
Everyone has secrets, and she wouldn't pry into the secrets of a junior who hasn't even reached the fairyland.
Moreover, she had already found out Su Yang's identity yesterday.
This Su Yang killed several cultivators from the Immortal Realm on the streets of Naihe City a few days ago, and he also seems to have some connection with Xia Yu and his fellow disciples.
Shuang Meiniang actually admires Su Yang.
"You are all those who passed our Underworld's assessment yesterday, and you must all have made some achievements in the field of spiritual herbs."
"Bai Wuxiang and the others will take you to check on the Soul Nourishing Tree later. I hope you can find out the reason for the problem with the Soul Nourishing Tree and do your best to heal it."
"As you all know, the Soul Nourishing Tree is of great importance to our Underworld City of Naihe."
"If you can heal the Soul-Nourishing Tree, I will reward you handsomely! I will also grant each of you one request! You may make any request as long as it is within my power."
Shuang Meiniang glanced at the hesitant crowd below and added:
"If you cannot cure the Soul-Nourishing Tree, it is alright. I will reward you handsomely."
After hearing what Shuang Meiniang said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If this Frosty Beauty were to force them to heal the Soul-Nourishing Tree, they really wouldn't dare to guarantee it.
The Soul-Nourishing Tree is, after all, a product of the Underworld, and the ten largest Soul-Nourishing Trees are even the foundation for maintaining the cycle of reincarnation in the Underworld.
No matter how confident they are in their skills, they wouldn't dare to boast so arrogantly that they could completely cure the Soul-Nourishing Tree.
Not to mention that Xingluo Island is a place devoid of spiritual energy, and most of the cultivation techniques require spiritual energy to maintain.
Therefore, Shuang Meiniang's final words were the real reassurance that put their minds at ease.
