Chapter 439: Chapter 437: Lu Luo Saintess

“This is…”

Lu Luo turned her gaze to Zhong Lin, curiously asking.

“This is my junior brother, Zhong Lin. Zhong Lin, this is Senior Sister Lu Luo from the Baihua Holy Land. Senior Sister Lu Luo is in charge of all affairs at the Flowers Pavilion in the Five Elements Secret Realm, and you’ll need her help to find the Five Directions Divine Beasts’ Spirit.”

Zhong Lin’s eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, cupping his hands, “Zhong Lin, greetings to Senior Sister Lu Luo. I’ve often heard Second Senior Brother describe you as having the grace that would make fish sink and wild geese fall, a beauty that would shame the moon and flowers. Seeing you in person truly surpasses your famed reputation.”

“Pfft!”

Lu Luo couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh lightly, her eyes narrowed like crescent moons, quite captivating.

She turned her head to Chi Zhonglin, smiling as she said, “Junior Brother Chi, your little junior brother really knows how to talk. I never knew I was so beautiful—making fish sink and wild geese fall, shaming the moon and flowers.”

Chi Zhonglin, always with a careless demeanor, suddenly had wisps of white smoke rising above his head at Lu Luo’s playful gaze, as if the whole person was about to combust.

He reached out and covered Zhong Lin’s mouth, “Lu… Lu Luo, he’s talking nonsense.”

“Talking nonsense? So, you’re saying I’m not beautiful at all?”

“No… that’s not it.”

Seeing Chi Zhonglin’s forehead almost sweating, Lu Luo burst into laughter again, her whole body shaking with mirth.

“Alright, I know what you want to say, just teasing you!”

Lu Luo glared playfully at Chi Zhonglin, laughing as she said, “Are you looking for the Five Directions Divine Beasts’ Spirit?”

Zhong Lin brushed off Chi Zhonglin’s hand, explaining, “I need the Five Directions Divine Beasts’ Spirit to practice a martial art, and I wonder if Senior Sister can guide me?”

“The Five Directions Divine Beasts are demon beasts born from the interaction between the Five Elements Primordial Qi and this secret realm. They can be considered weaker versions of the Five Directions Divine Beasts, with power comparable to martial artists at the peak of the Yin Yang Realm, even the Life and Death Realm. Their internal Five Elements Spirit is a supreme treasure of the Five Elements. The martial art practiced using the Five Elements Spirit must be extraordinary. Junior Brother Zhong, you have quite the opportunity. Our Flowers Pavilion has Wood and Fire Elements Spirit, but they’re valuable…” Lu Luo said.

Zhong Lin was overjoyed at the news, quickly saying, “Really? I’m willing to pay any price necessary.”

“This isn’t the place to talk. You both look travel-worn, I imagine you’ve just arrived at Buxian. Why not rest for a while? I have some matters to tend to, and we can talk later?” Lu Luo suggested.

“That’s fine, Senior Sister. You must save it for me; it’s of great use to me.”

“Rest assured, I’ll reserve it for you.”

Lu Luo smiled gently, then walked away.

“Stop staring; she’s gone far away already. Wipe your mouth, it’s too gross.”

Zhong Lin teased his second senior brother, who was still staring blankly.

Chi Zhonglin instinctively wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and upon seeing it was clean, glared fiercely at Zhong Lin.

“Senior Brother, that’s impressive. This Senior Sister Lu Luo is really something, very much like a big sister. I didn’t expect you to like someone older than you. Not bad, not bad.” Zhong Lin chuckled.

“Want me to help you out?”

Chi Zhonglin opened his mouth, then looked dejected, saying, “Senior Sister Lu Luo only sees me as a brother, she doesn’t know my feelings.”

“If you get close to a bonfire, won’t you feel the heat? With how you act, even a blind person could see it. How could Senior Sister Lu Luo not sense it?” Zhong Lin said, pursing his lips.

Hearing this, Chi Zhonglin became even more forlorn, his expression turning even more somber.

“So there must be something you don’t know, like her master’s orders or maybe your cultivation level?” Zhong Lin suggested.

Lu Luo is the Saintess of the Baihua Holy Domain, at the Nirvana Realm, a whole major realm higher than Chi Zhonglin.

Upon hearing this, Chi Zhonglin’s eyes lit up with hope, looking eagerly at Zhong Lin, “You’re right, Junior Brother, it must be my cultivation level that’s too low. That must be it, or else why would Senior Sister Lu Luo not accept my feelings?”

“That’s just one possibility, but no matter what, having higher cultivation can solve many problems, at least allowing you to directly question Senior Sister Lu Luo.”

“Right, right, Junior Brother, you understand me well. No, I’m going to Thunderstorm Heaven to train right now.”

Chi Zhonglin became as energetic as if he had been injected with adrenaline, raring to go.

“Hold on, Senior Brother, there’s no rush. Let’s handle my matter first.”

Zhong Lin quickly grabbed Chi Zhonglin’s sleeve, persuading him to stay.

The two found an inn to stay at. Though called an inn, it was actually composed of independent courtyards, spacious enough to practice martial arts in seclusion, and even had facilities for alchemy.

After resting for a while, they went straight to the Flowers Pavilion.

The White Flower Pavilion was a guild established by the Baihua Holy Land in this secret realm, aiming to gather heavenly materials and earthly treasures and cultivation resources from the Five Elements Secret Realm. The Heavenly Sword Sacred Land had a similar organization managed by the Second Saint, but since the Second Saint was not on good terms with their eldest senior brother, they didn’t trouble him.

Basically, the top guilds in the Five Elements Secret Realm were all established by major holy lands, as only they had the strength to do so.

The Flowers Pavilion is located at the far east of Buxian, a colossal building a hundred yards tall, constructed entirely from an ancient tree whose age is unknown, exuding a strong sense of life energy. Because of this ancient tree, the surroundings are lush, filled with blossoming flowers and thriving plants.

As the two flew over, they were immediately greeted by two female martial artists.

These two female martial artists wore purple floral long dresses with an unknown flower pattern on the chest, looking like clouds or brocade, both of them were figures at the Transcendent Realm, exuding a superior aura.

“Please halt, two seniors. To enter the marketplace of our Flowers Pavilion, a certain amount of spirit stones must be paid as an entrance fee; no one is exempt.”

One of the women addressed Zhong Lin and Chi Zhonglin, her tone respectful, as she sensed that their power far surpassed theirs.

“I didn’t bring any spirit stones, how about this elixir?”

With a wave of the hand, a purple elixir fell into the woman’s hand.

She examined it carefully and quickly recognized it as a Sixth Grade Elixir, the Purple Mansion Pill, and then cautiously placed it into a spatial bag, while stepping aside.

“Please, seniors.”

The two nodded and entered the Flowers Pavilion.

As soon as they entered, a surge of life energy washed over them. With just a breath, one felt refreshed. Zhong Lin’s “Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill” instinctively started working, transforming into Yimu Spirit Element, swallowing and exhaling voraciously.

“This is the ’Heavenly Wood Divine Spirit Qi’ cultivated by Baihua Holy Land, the leader of all wood spirits in the world,” Chi Zhonglin explained through a transmission.

Zhong Lin nodded, sensing the wood attribute essence qi in this energy was incredibly pure and had a strong healing effect.
