Chapter 89: Entering the Grandmaster Realm

"What Bliss Flower?"

Hearing Shen Yu muttering to himself nearby, Su Ruoning felt a bit strange. He even said he smelled the fragrance of a Bliss Flower, but the scented powder she used was definitely not any Bliss Flower, and as for her senior brother, he never carried a scent sachet on him.

"You don't know about the Bliss Flower?" While leading them into the room, Shen Yu said, "Then what about the wounds on his body? Wait, it seems he has also been poisoned with a deadly toxin!"

After just briefly checking the other person's pulse, Shen Yu had a general judgment of the situation; it was truly worse than average, no wonder he was unconscious. Being able to hold on without breathing his last was already a miracle.

Moreover, inside Fang Ziyi's body, there seemed to be a heavy and terrifying force entrenched, constantly battering his meridians and dantian, destroying his body's functions.

"What terrifying palm power!" After probing slightly with his Inner Energy and feeling the sudden counter-shock force, Shen Yu couldn't help but frown.

Even compared to himself, this palm power was not much weaker; could there be such an expert in this small patch of land that is Sanshui County?

With such palm power, added to this deadly toxin, even if this Silver Badge Constable was a Xiantian Expert with a deep foundation, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

"Consider yourself lucky that you knew to run to the County Government Office!" Unable to help but shake his head slightly, Shen Yu couldn't help but sigh. It was fortunate these people came to him; with his current Shenzhao Technique, it was most suitable for healing injuries.

Plus, Shen Yu had the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad on hand that could neutralize all poisons; once Fang Ziyi entered his place, as long as he didn't breathe his last immediately, it was as good as having his life saved!

"I don't know how Senior Brother got injured either; he just suddenly returned tonight with heavy injuries. He only had time to tell us to hurry and find you, then he passed out. Then a large group of men in black attacked us; these people were all ruthless and fought without regard for their own lives!"

Speaking of this, Su Ruoning couldn't help but feel a bit sorrowful. "Our group of over a dozen Iron Badge Constables and several Copper Badge Constables is now reduced to just the few of us!"

"This is 'openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang'!" Sighing softly, Shen Yu looked at Su Ruoning with pity. "It seems your senior brother even kept things from you. Then again, with your temper, how could he possibly keep things from you!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean? Can't you see it yet? Your Capture Gate coming to Sanshui County is probably not just to investigate the Fen Shui Gang's human trafficking, right? How could such a matter be worth dispatching a Silver Badge Constable!"

With both hands pressed against Fang Ziyi's back, streams of power were transmitted into him. Shen Yu said nonchalantly, "Only the matter of the Bliss Flower would make the Capture Gate take such an interest!"

"Bliss Flower, you've been talking about the Bliss Flower since just now; what exactly is this thing?"

"The Bliss Flower is a strange flower; it is a flower that can only grow by using a human heart as soil and being watered with human blood! On the day it blooms, the pollen is colorful under the sunlight! This flower can lure people into hallucinations and make them sink into dreams!"

After giving an introduction to the Bliss Flower, Shen Yu shook his head and continued, "Its fragrance is also very special. At first, it smells fresh and fragrant, like jasmine, but then it becomes somewhat fishy and astringent. When you feel that, it is already too late!"

"Those who smell the fragrance will immediately collapse beside the flower, lost in endless, beautiful dreams from which they cannot wake. And those who fall there will become the nourishment for this flower and the soil for its Seed to survive, until they are completely dead!"

Speaking of this, Shen Yu couldn't help but sigh. Ever since he obtained the Hundred Herbs Classic, the habits of the various flowers and plants within had opened his eyes. He had to marvel at the wonders of nature, which could always nurture all sorts of unimaginable existences.

"Then isn't that a flower cultivated with human lives? How could anyone really cultivate such a flower, and what could they use it for? As a hallucinogen?"

"Hallucinogen? You underestimate the Bliss Flower; this flower is far more terrifying than you imagine!" Smiling lightly, his voice carrying a hint of sarcasm, Shen Yu's eyes narrowed.

"The most powerful effect of this flower is that it can make people fall into a dream without realizing it, just like hypnosis. You can ask anything you want to know, and you can also use various means to help weave a dream for someone, influencing their mind and thoughts without them knowing, or even controlling their spirit!"

"Can control a person's thoughts?" Shocked speechless by such a statement, after a long while, Su Ruoning muttered uncertainly, "That's impossible, right!"

"The World is vast, and there is nothing that doesn't exist, little girl!" Taking a deep breath, Shen Yu slowly withdrew his palms, nodding with satisfaction.

"Alright, I have already suppressed his internal injuries; next is to help him detoxify! After the poison is cleared and he rests a bit, your senior brother should be fine!"

"Really?" They had all seen how heavy her senior brother's injuries were just now; he looked like he was about to die, yet how much time had passed and he was already better?

Looking at her senior brother again, he did indeed seem much better, and she couldn't help but look at Shen Yu with new eyes.

You are a County Magistrate; it's one thing to have high Martial Arts, but when did you also moonlight as a physician? Is there anything you can't do?

Taking the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad out from his storage space, Shen Yu said to Su Ruoning after helping Fang Ziyi detoxify, "I've cleared the poison for him too. If there's nothing else, you all stay here for now; this official still has things to attend to!"

"System, sign in!"

"Sign-in successful, obtained Ten Years of Internal Energy!"

"Internal Energy!" As a hazy light flashed, the True Qi in Shen Yu's body boiled instantly, his Inner Energy surging and gathering like a vast ocean, flowing endlessly.

Driven by the newly added Inner Energy, his True Qi circulated at high speed, and the gaps in the barrier blocking him became larger and larger amidst the rapid circulation of True Qi.

The addition of Ten Years of Internal Energy caused Shen Yu's aura to surge violently, finally gathering into a raging tide, rushing toward the crumbling barrier with the force of ten thousand jun. With a muffled sound, the barrier was completely broken through.

In an instant, Shen Yu felt his whole body tremble; the World before his eyes became completely different, and a feeling of being in control of everything surged into his heart. The True Qi in his body was almost condensed into a liquid state, flowing ceaselessly.

"So this is the Grandmaster Realm!" Opening his eyes abruptly, the aura on Shen Yu's body flashed and then quickly receded, but it was still noticed by Su Ruoning nearby.

For some reason, Su Ruoning suddenly felt as if the little County Magistrate before her had undergone a transformation, becoming strange and unreachable. That aura that flashed for an instant made one feel as if a mountain that was difficult to look up to had pressed down on their shoulders.

That feeling was just like facing her father when he exerted his full strength.

But soon, Su Ruoning shook her head; it must have been an illusion. For this little County Magistrate to have this level of strength at such a young age was already rare in the World, something countless people could only look up to. If he were like her father, then how would others even live?

Not noticing the change in Su Ruoning's expression, Shen Yu continued his great undertaking after gathering his aura, then began drawing on the map of Sanshui County.

As Lu Ze continued his account, Shen Yu circled one place after another, connecting these places and drawing lines. Gradually, a location became clearer and clearer in his mind.
