Chapter 394

Hua Guzi was led into the cave dwelling by Unlike Ning Zhuo, feeling as if she were dreaming.

"I, I really came in?!" She stood rooted to the spot, her face full of disbelief.

Unlike Ning Zhuo sat in the main seat first and greeted Hua Guzi: "Fellow Daoist Hua, please sit."

Hua Guzi was stunned for a moment, then chose the seat closest to Unlike Ning Zhuo and sat down.

Then, she leaned her body to the side, trying her best to get close to Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo:?!

At the same moment, he felt extreme emotions like ecstasy and infatuation from Hua Guzi's inner heart.

How terrifying!

Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately felt some regret, regretting leading Hua Guzi in. But there was no way, since it was already done, he could only bite the bullet and continue.

He said with an indifferent expression: "Fellow Daoist Hua, to avoid us being entangled in the future, today I will accept the flower cultivation methods you mentioned."

Hua Guzi stood up with a start, floated to Unlike Ning Zhuo's front, her eyes burning, and hurriedly handed over a jade slip.

"Stop." Unlike Ning Zhuo hurriedly reached out to prevent Hua Guzi from getting too close to him.

He activated his magic power to take the jade slip from Hua Guzi's hand.

Hua Guzi felt extremely disappointed, failing to take the opportunity to touch Unlike Ning Zhuo's fingers.

"Alright." Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at Hua Guzi, who was close at hand, and always felt that the latter would pounce on him the next moment.

If Hua Guzi showed hostility, killing intent, or fighting intent, then Unlike Ning Zhuo would be easy to deal with.

The problem is, Hua Guzi is quite friendly toward Unlike Ning Zhuo.

This makes it very difficult for Unlike Ning Zhuo to handle this matter.

He is only sixteen years old; such a person and trouble are too thorny for him.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had no choice but to be fearful and cold: "Alright, I have already accepted the items. You can go now."

"Leaving just like this?!" Hua Guzi was extremely reluctant and very unwilling to part.

"Please leave, Fellow Daoist Hua." Unlike Ning Zhuo's voice was cold, and the smile on his face had also disappeared without a trace.

Hua Guzi's heart trembled violently; being rejected by Unlike Ning Zhuo like this made her feel a thrill of being bullied from the deepest part of her heart!

"Abominable, hateful, infuriating!"

"To actually treat me like this!! Not putting me in his eyes!!"

"This guy Unlike Ning Zhuo... I, I, I..."

Hua Guzi was driven out of the cave dwelling by Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Her eyes were red and bloodshot, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

There was anger, hatred, and grievance, but also an incomparably strange sense of comfort.

Soon, the sense of comfort was like a surging flood, suppressing all negative emotions.

She looked back at Unlike Ning Zhuo's cave dwelling, let out a soft moan, her face flushed red, and she floated away.

"Finally left." Unlike Ning Zhuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling somewhat dry-mouthed.

He sat upright in the main seat, closed his eyes to rest, and only after adjusting his breathing did his mood calm down.

He looked at the jade slip in his hand, feeling that this flower cultivation method was exceptionally heavy!

Unlike Ning Zhuo projected his spiritual sense into the jade slip to investigate.

Night Wandering Grass.

The leaves are deep green, with edges emitting a pale purple fluorescence, and the overall shape unfolds like a sunflower. Each leaf is covered with tiny silver veins, and at night, under the moonlight, it emits a faint fluorescence, as if stars were scattered on the leaves.

Its stem is slender and upright, with a smooth surface, showing a pale purple luster. There are some tiny silver scales at the bottom of the stem, which can reflect faint light.

And it will bloom with tiny purple flowers at a specific time, the petals are crystal clear, and there is a deep blue crystal like the night sky in the center of the flower.

And this specific time is the Ghost Walking Festival.

During the festival, the ghost gates all over the world open, and ghosts from the underworld walk in the world of the living, settling scores and grievances.

The gods in the underworld also need to move quickly to stop and detain these ghosts who want to commit wrongs. Among them, the Night Wandering God is the main one.

When the Night Wandering God is tired from floating, he often lands on the Night Wandering Grass to rest, catch his breath, and relieve his fatigue.

This is the origin of the name Night Wandering Grass.

To plant Night Wandering Grass, one needs a dark place with rich yin energy. In terms of spiritual energy, it must be exhausted during the day and abundant at night, and the difference must be very obvious.

For fertilizer, one should choose night dew, Star River Spirit Liquid, Night-Blooming Jasmine...

Night Wandering Grass, Purple Smoke Orchid, Silver Butterfly Flower, Soul Essence Flower, Rosy Peach, Burning Heart Flower, Poison Flame Chrysanthemum, a total of seven strange flowers and grasses.

The entire content of the jade slip is the cultivation methods of these seven strange flowers and grasses, each of which is specific and detailed, and can be operated step by step, with strong practicality.

"Soul Essence Flower?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's gaze paused slightly; he knew this flower.

Eleven years ago, a demonic cultivator named Hua Qianhun came outside Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

He set up a trap, planting flowers in a valley near the city, causing a sea of flowers to spread across the mountains and plains, creating rumors of strange flowers coming into the world.

Many people were attracted, entered the sea of flowers, and their souls were extracted to become flower fertilizer. In the end, a strange flower did indeed come into the world, named Soul Essence Flower. Hua Qianhun immediately picked it and fled quickly.

Unlike Ning Zhuo became interested, skipped the flowers in the middle, and prioritized browsing the Soul Essence Flower.

The jade slip detailed the appearance of the Soul Essence Flower.

Its petals are translucent, and the color changes with the light, from crystal clear to deep purple. It seems as if souls are swimming on each petal, and when the breeze blows, the ripples of the soul's swaying are visible to the naked eye.

Its flower center is deep black, emitting a faint blue fluorescence, as if a pair of deep eyes are looking directly into the human heart.

And the leaves are dark green, giving people a creepy and terrifying feeling.

Looking at the soil requirements again, Unlike Ning Zhuo indeed saw that the Soul Essence Flower needs to be planted in soil containing a large amount of soul breath. The best choice is an ancient battlefield.

But countless living beings have died on Fire Persimmon Mountain, and the soil aspect is indeed consistent.

The fertilizer for the Soul Essence Flower is souls, and they must be fresh souls.

The specific planting location is also particular, needing to be chosen in a place where yin and yang intersect, neither too gloomy nor too sunny. The best location is deep in the valley, where the yin energy is relatively heavy but can receive a small amount of sunlight.

There is also the art of sacrifice.

The object of the sacrifice is the Soul Essence Flower, which supplies souls to the flowers through sacrificial spells to promote its growth.

The jade slip also mentioned the efficacy.

This kind of Soul Essence Flower naturally purifies external souls and can increase the foundation of the soul without sequelae.

If it is used as the main material to manufacture Soul Essence Pills, the efficacy is far better than eating it raw, at least 30% stronger.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo read all the contents of the jade slip, he found that the one with the highest market value was the Rosy Peach. But the one most suitable for the Ning family branch was the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum.

This kind of chrysanthemum needs to be planted in a place with intense flames, and the best location is in an active volcano, a place filled with fire poison. This place needs to have rolling flames all year round, with ground fire erupting, which helps the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum absorb the power of fire poison.

If the location is good, the soil for planting Poison Flame Chrysanthemum does not need processing. But if it is slightly worse, one needs to use waste soil refined from cooled volcanic lava, mixed with hundred-year-old fire poison rock chips and thousand-year-old flame vine ashes, and made into Flame Poison Fire Evil Soil according to the sacrificial refining method.

One can set up a Blazing Poison Fire Array to condense the fire poison energy and enhance the toxicity and fire-attribute power of the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum.

The jade slip also has detailed instructions on how to set up the Blazing Poison Fire Array.

For example, for the array eye, one needs to use top-grade fire-attribute crystals as the array eye, as this crystal can attract flames.

Also, for the four fire gates, each gate needs to be set with a fire spirit lamp, with fire essence burning long in the lamp, illuminating the four directions.

And for the eight poison positions, one needs to raise a Fire Poison Copper Scaled Snake in each to transform the fire poison energy.

During the cultivation stage of the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum, after the flower buds grow, one can draw talismans on the flower buds at the right time.

The talismans are named Poison Smoke Talisman and Blazing Flame Talisman. If the toxicity of the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum is slightly less, use the Poison Smoke Talisman to increase toxicity. If the fire-attribute power is weak, use the Blazing Flame Talisman to enhance the intensity.

The jade slip also recorded the specific drawing methods for the Poison Smoke Talisman and Blazing Flame Talisman.

For example, the Poison Smoke Talisman needs to be mixed with Red Blood Ink and Fire Poison Insect Essence to form a specific talisman ink.

Also, for the Blazing Flame Talisman, it is best to write it in the sun when the scorching sun is high, absorbing the brilliance of the scorching sun.

The jade slip records: if conditions are met, one can also use Flame Poison Powder for fertilization. This elixir uses Poison Flame Chrysanthemum petals as the main ingredient, mixed with Flame Scorpion Heart, Fire Poison Lizard Gall, Red Spirit Grass, and other highly toxic medicinal materials.

It has four major effects: increasing toxicity, protecting roots, strengthening evil, and adding intensity.

The cultivation of Poison Flame Chrysanthemum requires little water, but it cannot be without it. When irrigating, one needs to use natural hot spring water, and it must not be icy, but kept at a high temperature.

During the growth process of the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum, it also needs to be exposed to the scorching sun every once in a while to absorb the scorching sun, neutralize the yin, so that it can grow sturdily.

Unlike Ning Zhuo studied it carefully and couldn't help but have many feelings.

Cultivating spiritual plants, referred to as cultivation, is one of the hundred arts of cultivation.

To do this well, it actually involves accomplishments in other aspects. For example, using elixirs, for example, setting up arrays, and for example, drawing talismans.

From this, it can be seen that the hundred arts of cultivation are not separated from each other, but are interconnected, with you in me and me in you.

It's just that one art is the main one, and other skills assist each other, with a clear distinction between primary and secondary.

Only mechanism arts have no distinction between primary and secondary. The hundred arts of cultivation, and even cultivation itself, are integrated and expressed in the form of mechanism creation.

Therefore, mechanism arts are difficult to learn and master, but if one really achieves success, the upper limit is very high, and one can integrate the hundred arts of cultivation into one, achieving great success!

Unlike Ning Zhuo only has a slight understanding of cultivation skills and is not good at them, a proper layman.

The secret book of seven-flower cultivation from Hua Guzi opened his eyes, and he wondered if the cultivation of countless herbs in the Ten Thousand Medicines Sect was also like this.

Unlike Ning Zhuo can only know that it is so, but not why it is so, regarding these cultivation classics.

"I am still too shallow."

"The existing content is right in front of me, but I cannot deduce the reason why it is done this way."

"Learning has no end; I still need to learn more!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed and carefully put away the Seven Flower Secret Record.

He did not intend to send the jade slip back to the Ning family branch through the post station.

It's too unsafe!

This kind of industrial secret is like a hen that lays golden eggs; it must be delivered in person.

Once the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum is built, the Ning family branch will have a steady stream of new income.

For the entire branch family and for Unlike Ning Zhuo, it is a beneficial thing.
