Chapter 950: Spectral Flower I

“Young Lady Xiao Qing, what’s wrong with these?” Mu Qingyin asked, bewildered. He did not know what had actually happened.

Feng Ruqing did not respond. All of a sudden, she took a few steps forward and plucked the flowers from the flowerbed.

“Who sowed these flowers?”

“Chen Qingyan.” Mu Qingyan’s face darkened a few shades.

‘Chen Qingyan?’

“Second Uncle, remove these flowers from the roots by tomorrow. Then, take them to a deserted place and burn them!” Feng Ruqing sneered.

Seeing Feng Ruqing’s reaction, something crossed Mu Qingyin’s mind.

“Young Lady Xiao Qing, what’s wrong with these flowers? Both Grandmaster Qian Kun and Grandmaster Hai Rong were here previously, but they could not figure out what kind of flowers are these. Grandmaster Qian Kun had even brought one of it back to study. In the end, he found that it is nothing but an ordinary spirit herb.”

Feng Ruqing’s face was cold and dark.

These spirit herbs should have gone extinct years ago.

Back then, all the kingdoms in Cang Yue Mainland were not as vulnerable as they were today. Yun Chuan Empire had once dominated the entire Cang Yue Mainland. These flowers were brought in by the emperor of the Yun Chuan Empire. These flowers had nearly triggered horrifying devastation to this realm.

As the emperor of Yun Chuan Empire feared that he would go down in history as a byword of infamy, he had burned all these flowers and decreed to wipe off these flowers from the historical records. The official who took charge of the historical records had since wiped off the name and detail of these flowers from the records to ensure that the emperor’s reputation was well protected.

If the future generation happened to get hold of the flower or if there was any form of destruction because of this, it had nothing to do with Yun Chuan Empire.

Since the flower was not available in the historical records, how did Feng Ruqing knew about this? That was because it was all jotted down in the book that Fu Chen had given to her.

Back then, the Divine Herbs Sect was the only force on a par with Yun Chuan Empire.

No one dared to say anything about these flowers as they did not want to mess with the emperor of Yun Chuan Empire.

However, the Divine Herbs Sect was not bothered by Yun Chuan Empire and had recorded details of this species of flower in a book. Hence, Feng Ruqing could recognize the flowers from the moment she saw them—Spectral Flower.

The seeds of these flowers must be sown on a mass grave in order to absorb the deads’ spiritual qi. It would only bloom after many years.

Once the plant bloomed, it would never wither. The only thing that could ruin the Spectral Flower was fire.

“Also, cut down all the trees here tomorrow. Don’t move in here until all the qi has dispersed.”

“What’s wrong with all these?” Nan Xian put his arm around Feng Ruqing’s waist.

“These trees are called Thousand Vines Orchid. If one walked near the trees after eating the Bloody Lotus Lingzhi, the deadly aura emanated from the trees could cause drowsiness and loss of consciousness. Moreover, the victim’s memory would gradually worsen over time and start to behave like a child until he dies. Grandmaster Qian Kun has shown me the spirit herbs that the old master consumed before. The Bloody Lotus Lingzhi is part of the spirit herbs that the old master takes.

“However, the whole process takes a very long time. The stronger the person is, the higher his resistance to the deadly aura. Even if his brain function has deteriorated, his strength could still stop part of the deadly aura. Hence, the old master is still alive after so many years.”

Hearing this, Mu Qingyin’s face darkened. He clenched his fists tightly, his breathing became rapid and shallow. His eyes were blazing with murderous intent.

‘Chen Qingyan! She has been harming the old master!’

“Hence, here comes the Spectral Flowers. If I am not mistaken, these Spectral Flowers are newly sown,” Feng Ruqing continued.

“You are right. Chen Qingyan has brought these flowers back to the manor before the old master’s strength declined. She said that the aura emanated from these flowers could calm the old master’s emotion. Since these flowers are spirit herbs and they are also very beautiful, we just leave them here.” Suddenly, Mu Qingyin looked up at Feng Ruqing as if something had crossed his mind.
