At the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), at Lingzhi Garden.
In the pond, white and pink lotuses bloom in staggered patterns, and morning dew rolls on the petals, refracting a rainbow of colors.
The koi occasionally leap out of the water, splashing up tiny droplets that shimmer like diamonds in the rising sun.
A man with silver hair and red clothes sat on a rock by the pool. His hair was like moonlight, and his red clothes were like the morning glow.
He reached out and lightly touched the leaping koi with his fingertips. The fish scales shimmered golden in the sunlight and felt cool and smooth to the touch.
"Naughty again."
Ling Shuo murmured softly.
He is the guardian of this spiritual plant garden, and he was also a human who cultivated himself from a carnation flower. He has been guarding this place for three hundred years.
Every blade of grass, every tree, every fish, and every insect in the garden was within his mind's perception.
He was responsible for raising koi in the pond and tending to the flowers and plants in the garden, day after day, year after year.
Click! !
The sound of trees falling in the distance dampened Ling Shuo's spirits.
Ling Shuo frowned slightly, her silver hair moving without any wind.
He leaped onto the grass, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.
He formed a hand seal, and a magic circle unfolded above the pond, as transparent as glass.
Another magic array descended, isolating the pond from the outside world!
The third magic array extends deep into the water to protect each koi carp.
He turned around, his red robes billowing, and with each step he took covered a hundred miles!
Along the way, tea trees lay fallen, their branches and leaves disheveled, their breaks neat and not like natural fractures.
Just as he was about to investigate, a blue butterfly fluttered down and circled him three times, as if leading the way.
Ling Shuo frowned, his fingertips lightly tracing the broken tea branch, sensing the lingering demonic energy.
Blue Butterfly led the way, taking him through the flower path, across the small bridge, and to the shore of Willow Lake.
At Willow Lake, the water is calm and the willows sway gently.
The blue butterfly hovered high above the lake.
Ling Shuo stood by the lake, his gaze fixed on the water.
A woman was soaking in the water, her long black hair spread out like seaweed, her skin as white as snow, only her shoulders and above were exposed.
Hearing footsteps, she slowly turned around, revealing a stunningly beautiful face with a hint of allure in her eyes.
"Young master, would you like to bathe together?"
She reached out her hand, and water droplets slid down her fair wrist.
Ling Shuo's gaze sharpened; he had already sensed the intense demonic aura emanating from her.
He didn't answer, but lightly touched the ground with his toes, stepped over the woman's shoulders, and used the momentum to leap into the air.
"what!!"
The woman cried out in alarm and sank into the lake.
"You fiend, how dare you be so insolent!"
After landing, Ling Shuo quickly formed hand seals.
A beam of golden light shot out from his fingertips, landing on the lake surface and forming the first barrier!
The second magic array unfolded like a spider web, covering the entire lake surface!
The third magic array extends deep into the lakebed, separating the lake water from the soil!
In the lake, Qingyan surfaced, looking at the golden barrier above, a hint of shock and anger flashing in her eyes.
"A mere flower fairy dares to stop me?"
Qingyan sneered, made a hand seal, and a water arrow shot straight at the barrier.
boom! ! !
The water jet struck the barrier, creating ripples, but failed to penetrate it even slightly.
Qingyan's expression changed slightly. She increased her magic power, and water arrows rained down on the barrier.
bang bang bang...
However, no matter how she attacked, the golden barrier remained unmoved.
"This...this is impossible!"
Qingyan found it hard to believe.
She couldn't even break through a small barrier.
On the lake, Ling Shuo sat cross-legged, his hands forming a mudra, continuously channeling spiritual energy into the magic array.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the pulse of every flower and plant in the garden, gathering their spiritual power into the magic array.
"The Spirit Plant Garden is a pure place, and evil spirits shall not be allowed to defile it."
Ling Shuo opened his eyes, his voice calm yet firm.
"If you leave, I may spare your life."
Qingyan gritted her teeth:
"How dare you teach me a lesson!"
She clasped her hands together, and her whole body radiated a blue light, causing the lake water to churn.
Whoosh!
A massive waterspout rose from the bottom of the lake and hurtled straight toward the barrier.
boom!
The waterspout collided with the barrier, creating a thousand waves.
Ling Shuo swayed slightly, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, but the magic array remained stable.
"You...you can actually mobilize the spiritual energy of the entire spirit plant garden?"
Qingyan was shocked.
This was the first time she had ever seen such magic that could resonate with all things in nature.
Ling Shuo remained silent, simply maintaining the magic array.
He could feel that every plant in the garden was giving him strength; the tea trees, carnations, lotus flowers, willows, and even the koi in the pond were all resonating with him.
Qingyan attacked again, and the water tornado became even more violent.
However, the moment the waterspout struck the barrier, Ling Shuo lightly tapped his fingertip, and a green light shot out from his fingertip, merging into the magic array.
Click!
The waterspout suddenly stopped, then turned into specks of starlight and dissipated in the air.
Qingyan was struck as if by a heavy blow, staggered backward, and spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the lake water red.
"Impossible...this is impossible..."
She murmured to herself, staring incredulously at the barrier above.
Ling Shuo stood up and looked down at Qingyan in the lake:
"The Spirit Plant Garden is a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges. If you forcibly invade it with your demonic power, you will only be devoured by the power of nature."
"If you are truly inclined to do good, I can introduce you to the sect leader and help you cultivate on the righteous path."
Qingyan sneered:
"Orthodox cultivation? That long and tedious cultivation, how can it compare to the pleasure of devouring the essence of others?"
She formed a hand seal, and a brilliant blue light emanated from her body:
"If I don't get rid of you today, my Qingyan will never have a peaceful day!"
Ling Shuo shook his head:
"Obsessive."
He clasped his hands together, and a silver light rose from his body, merging with the magic array.
The flowers and plants throughout the entire plant garden swayed in unison.
Before Qingyan could even cast her spell, she felt a powerful force of nature suppressing her.
She struggled to resist, but found herself unable to even move.
"You...who are you?"
Qingyan asked timidly.
"My name is Ling Shuo. I am a carnation that has cultivated into human form, and I am the guardian of the Spirit Plant Garden."
Ling Shuo said calmly.
"Everything in the garden has a spirit; if you are truly kind, everything can be your friend!"
“If you harbor malice, everything can be your enemy.”
Qingyan remained silent for a long time, then finally let out a long sigh:
"Alas, well... I've lost."
She had an idea.
Looking at Ling Shuo, her eyes were full of smiles.
"Then I will follow you in cultivation from now on. Would you be willing to take me in?"
On the couch.
Xuan Qing sat cross-legged, his face sometimes pale and sometimes red, his teeth clenched, and beads of sweat constantly rolling down his forehead.
His hands were clenched into fists, and his body was trembling slightly, clearly indicating that he was enduring great pain.
Bai Yuan, Xu Wan, and Wei Ranzhu sat around the couch, each casting spells. Blue, silver, and light purple light intertwined to form a net, attempting to purify the demonic energy and dragon breath within his body!
Unfortunately, those two forces were like two raging dragons, rampaging through Xuanqing's meridians, and no matter what they did, they could not achieve balance.
The Soul-Binding Force within Xuan Qing's body was also stirring, as if sensing a call from afar!
He suddenly opened his eyes, a strange light flashing in his pupils, and blurted out:
"Qingyan! Don't be afraid!"
His voice was full of anxiety and worry.
Seeing this, Xu Wan was so anxious that tears streamed down her face, and she choked out:
"It's all my fault! If it weren't for me..."
While continuing to cast the spell, Bai Yuan reassured him:
"Junior brother, the situation is critical! I should call Master!"
Xu Wan immediately reached out and grabbed Bai Yuan's sleeve, her eyes filled with tears, and pleaded:
"No... If Master knew that I had given the Emperor's heart's blood to Xuanqing, he would definitely throw me into that Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Furnace and refine me into a pill!"
"I...I'm scared, please, Senior Brother Baiyuan, don't call Master over!"
"Let's think of other ways..."
As she spoke, Xu Wan's hands trembled uncontrollably.
Bai Yuan frowned and remained silent.
Upon hearing this, Wei Ranzhu was so shocked she almost dropped her hand, and she pondered to herself:
The Emperor's heart's blood is such a precious thing, how could it be given away so easily?
No wonder the Emperor suddenly went into seclusion recently; it turns out that's why!
No wonder Sect Master Shuangyue asked her disciples to sign up for the planting competition and to plant Soul-Nourishing Grass...
It turns out that it was this cat demon who injured the Emperor's body and broke his heart!
