Chapter 394: Seven Flower Secret Record

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

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

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

Hua Guzi was stunned for a moment before choosing the seat closest to Ning Zhuo and sitting down.

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

Ning Zhuo:?!

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

Terrifying!

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

He said with a cold 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 in front of Ning Zhuo, her eyes burning, and hurriedly handed over a jade slip.

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

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

Hua Guzi felt extremely disappointed, failing to touch Ning Zhuo's fingers.

"Alright." 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 had hostility, killing intent, or fighting intent, Ning Zhuo would have been easy to deal with.

The problem was that Hua Guzi was quite friendly toward Ning Zhuo.

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

He was only sixteen years old; such a person and trouble were a bit too tricky for him.

Ning Zhuo could only be fearful, speaking with cold words: "Alright, I have already accepted the things. You can go now."

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

"Please leave, Fellow Daoist Hua." Ning Zhuo's voice was cold, and the smile on his face had also disappeared.

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

"Detestable, hateful, infuriating!"

"To treat me like this!! Not taking me seriously!!"

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

Hua Guzi was driven out of the cave dwelling by 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 Ning Zhuo's cave dwelling, let out a soft moan, her face flushed red, and she floated away.

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

He sat 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!

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

Night-Wandering Grass.

The leaves are deep green, with pale purple fluorescence on the edges, and the overall shape unfolds like a sunflower. Each leaf is covered with tiny silver veins, which emit a faint fluorescence under the moonlight at night, 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 period is the Ghost-Walking Festival.

During the festival, the ghost gates around the world open, and ghosts from the underworld walk in the human world, settling scores and grievances.

The gods in the underworld must also move quickly to stop and detain these ghosts who want to commit crimes. Among them, the Night-Wandering Gods are the main ones.

When the Night-Wandering Gods are tired from floating, they often land on the Night-Wandering Grass to rest, catch their breath, and relieve their fatigue.

This is the origin of the name Night-Wandering Grass.

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

For fertilizer, you 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, Heart-Burning Flower, Poison Flame Chrysanthemum—a total of seven strange flowers and herbs.

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

"Soul Essence Flower?"

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 the sea of flowers to spread across the mountains and plains, creating rumors of strange flowers appearing.

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

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

In the jade slip, the appearance of the Soul Essence Flower was described in detail.

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

Its 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, Ning Zhuo 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 creatures have died on Fire Persimmon Mountain, so the soil is indeed suitable.

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

The specific planting location is also particular, requiring a place where yin and yang meet, neither too gloomy nor too sunny. The best location is deep in the valley, where the yin energy is 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 provides souls to the flowers through sacrificial spells to promote its growth.

The jade slip also mentions the efficacy.

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

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

After 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 scorching flames, and the best location is in an active volcano, a place filled with fire poison. The place needs to be filled with 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 to be processed. But if it is slightly worse, you need to use waste soil extracted from cooled volcanic lava, mixed with century-old fire poison rock debris and thousand-year-old flame vine ash, and made into Flame Poison Fire Evil Soil according to the refining method.

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

In the jade slip, there is also a detailed explanation of how to set up the Flame Poison Fire Array.

For example, the array eye needs to use top-grade fire-attribute crystals, which can attract flames.

And for example, the four fire gates, each gate needs a fire spirit lamp, and the lamp burns with fire essence, illuminating the four directions.

And for example, the eight poison positions, each needs to raise a Fire Poison Copper-Scaled Snake to convert the fire poison energy.

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

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

In the jade slip, the specific drawing methods of the Poison Smoke Talisman and Flame Talisman are also recorded.

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.

And for example, the Flame Talisman is best written in the sun when the scorching sun is high, absorbing the brilliance of the scorching sun.

The jade slip records: If conditions are met, Flame Poison Powder can also be used for fertilization. This medicine is made with Poison Flame Chrysanthemum petals as the main ingredient, mixed with flame scorpion heart, fire poison lizard gallbladder, red spirit grass, and other highly toxic medicinal materials.

It has four major effects: increasing poison, protecting roots, strengthening evil, and adding ferocity.

Poison Flame Chrysanthemum cultivation requires little water, but it cannot be without it. When irrigating, you need 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 and neutralize the yin, so that it can grow sturdily.

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 attainments in other aspects. For example, using pills, for example, setting up arrays, and for example, drawing talismans.

It can be seen that the hundred arts of cultivation are not separated from each other, but are connected to each other, 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 clear primary and secondary.

Only mechanical 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 mechanical creations.

Therefore, mechanical arts are difficult to learn and master, but if you really achieve something, the upper limit is very high, and you can integrate the hundred arts of cultivation into one, and gather them into a great achievement!

Ning Zhuo only has a slight understanding of cultivation skills and is not good at them; he is a complete layman.

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

Ning Zhuo only knows that these cultivation classics are like this, but doesn't know why.

"I am still too shallow."

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

"There is no end to learning, I still need to learn more!"

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 and 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 Ning Zhuo, this is a good thing.
