Chapter 1260: Chapter 1150: The Miraculous Effect of Fantasy Flower
In a valley long abandoned and devoid of human presence, a medicinal field suddenly appeared, and in it, a young girl was diligently working…
Immediately, the group from Wanmu Palace visibly changed expressions!
“Who are you?”
Shan Lie stepped forward instantly, his aura already unleashed.
He… was a master who had surpassed the Five Elements Great Realm, having reached the Earth King Realm.
In the medicinal field, the young girl with a bamboo basket on her back calmly turned around.
She stood in the field, exuding an air as pure and delicate as a lotus emerging from water. Though occupied in labor, she possessed a transcendent quality akin to a celestial being, imbuing her demeanor with true elegance.
This girl… was none other than Su Baiqian!
At this moment, Su Baiqian paused and gazed at the group of people. A trace of contemplation flickered in her eyes, but her voice remained serene as she said:
“And who are you?”
Shan Lie coldly replied:
“I am Shan Lie of Wanmu Palace!”
“Speak—where are you from, your name?”
Su Baiqian heard his words and murmured, “Wanmu Palace… that gang belonging to the old pangolin man…”
A subtle chill flickered in her eyes.
–On that day, after traversing the forbidden path of the Grey Mist Sea and entering the Forbidden World, she had arrived in this valley.
However, the valley was already steeped in deathly silence.
Here, she had uncovered numerous ancient and broken records—curses uttered by the unwilling dead, accusations of betrayal against the Earth Emperor…
She had come to understand the events of the past.
The Earth Emperor… had slaughtered her people, turning them into human puppets.
Her people were condemned to eternal exile from Samsara, their resentment spawning endless bitterness throughout generations!
These past days… she had been cultivating the land.
Using her knowledge of the Medical Dao, she sowed this medicinal field with the boundless resentments in the valley as her soil.
Now, the field was a rich tapestry of blossoming flowers—the resentments transformed into vibrant, thriving medicines.
This was a process of salvation. The trapped anguish within the human puppets was being dissolved; as resentment faded, the arrival of Samsara would allow them to be reborn.
…
Su Baiqian calmly looked at the Wanmu Palace group and said:
“My name is Su Baiqian. I came here simply to cultivate some Spiritual Medicine.”
Shan Lie arched his grizzled brow and said:
“Cultivating medicine?”
Su Baiqian nodded and said:
“Indeed… cultivating medicine. Though this valley is desolate, it possesses the finest soil, capable of nurturing the best medicine.”
Upon hearing this, Shan Yourong, standing beside Shan Lie, immediately interjected:
“What kind of medicine are you cultivating? Is there… is there Fantasy Flower among them?”
Her eyes gleamed with hope.
Surrounded by barrenness, no signs of Spiritual Medicine remained. This medicinal field before them… was their only beacon of hope.
Su Baiqian nodded indifferently and said:
“Fantasy Flower… of course it’s here.”
She pointed to a tri-colored bloom in the field and said:
“This is it.”
Immediately, the group from Wanmu Palace directed their gazes to that flower!
The plant showcased three blossoming flowers intertwined, each consisting of nine petals with three colors harmoniously coexisting within each bloom.
“Is this really Fantasy Flower?”
“It can… it can transform our appearances?”
In an instant, Shan Yourong and Shan Linfeng became ecstatic. They hurried over to the tri-colored flower, their eyes blazing with fervor!
“Yourong, Linfeng, hold on!”
At this moment, Shan Lie spoke cautiously, his gaze fixed on Su Baiqian as he said:
“Who is your master? Which family or sect are you affiliated with?”
The origins of this valley were too mysterious, and Su Baiqian’s presence here was cause for suspicion.
Su Baiqian replied:
“My master lives secluded in a small village and belongs to no force.”
Shan Lie’s eyes revealed disbelief as he coldly said:
“Then how am I to believe this is truly Fantasy Flower?”
“Test it yourself first!”
Their tone was imperious, akin to giving an order.
Su Baiqian remained tranquil, showing no anger. Instead, she plucked one flower and consumed its petals.
In an instant, a mysterious force seemed to flow across Su Baiqian’s face—it became more radiant, her skin smoother and more refined, her features even more exquisite and perfect!
Yet, upon her already stunning visage, the Fantasy Flower’s effect was minimal; she was already a rare beauty whose allure reached celestial heights.
So, the transformation merely added subtle enhancement.
Nonetheless, this subtle change left Shan Yourong marveling with excitement!
“It really works… This truly is Fantasy Flower!”
Excitedly, she stepped forward, plucked a flower, and promptly consumed it!
Shan Linfeng did likewise.
Suddenly, distinct sounds of creaking bones resonated through their faces as some unseen force began reshaping them!
It was as if tiny hammers and chisels were sculpting their features!
“It hurts so much…”
Shan Yourong winced in pain, nearly brought to tears; Shan Linfeng also gritted his teeth and endured.
But after the pain receded, the appearances of both underwent drastic changes.
Shan Yourong, once sharp-featured and plain, now had a delicate oval face, an exquisitely defined nose, full features, and radiant, flawless skin—she had transformed into a breathtaking beauty!
Meanwhile, Shan Linfeng, previously shifty-eyed and unattractive, now sported sharp brows and bright eyes; his features became strikingly handsome and charismatic—a dashing gentleman!
Only two Fantasy Flowers had been used, yet the transformation achieved… was akin to miracles coming to life!
“Have I… have I become beautiful?”
Shan Yourong nervously asked, touching her face anxiously.
“Miss, you’ve become beautiful—absolutely gorgeous!”
An elderly companion beside her eagerly handed over a mirror.
All these years, Shan Yourong had dreaded mirrors, fearful of the ugly reflection they would show her. But now, she couldn’t help but anticipate; she took the mirror and looked inside. What she saw was…
Beauty!
Utterly stunning beauty!
“Ah—”
She cried out in joy and exclaimed:
“I’ve become beautiful—I’m so beautiful now!”
Next to her, Shan Linfeng was equally thrilled and almost delirious as he said:
“I’ve become handsome—like a Jade Tree standing tall amidst the wind—I’ve finally become handsome, hahahaha…”
He was ecstatic beyond measure!
“Haha, now that we’ve obtained the Fantasy Flower, this woman…”
Shan Lie’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Su Baiqian.
He remained highly suspicious of Su Baiqian.
But Su Baiqian spoke at the right moment:
“Despite the strong medicinal properties of the Fantasy Flower, its effects are unstable and require a month of proper adjustment to solidify; otherwise, there is a risk of reverting back.”
Upon hearing this, Shan Yourong and Shan Linfeng immediately became tense!
They had only just achieved their ideal appearances. If they reverted to their previous ugly selves…
The idea made them wish they could die!
“Can you perform the necessary adjustments?”
Shan Linfeng couldn’t help but ask.
Su Baiqian nodded and replied:
“I know a bit about how to do so.”
Shan Linfeng suggested:
“In that case, would you be willing to accompany us? Rest assured, Wanmu Palace… will not treat you poorly.”
He then turned to Shan Lie and said:
“Elder Shan Lie, what do you think?”
Initially, Shan Lie had considered killing Su Baiqian to eliminate future risks, but now he hesitated. He nodded and said:
“That works.”
Su Baiqian thought for a moment and said:
“Alright.”
She gathered some Spiritual Medicine from the ground and then left with them.
Along the way, Shan Yourong was constantly looking in the mirror, repeatedly admiring her newly transformed face, practically on cloud nine.
“Now that I’m this beautiful… I will definitely gain the favor of those powerful figures in the shadows!”
Her anticipation soared!
Yet, in the midst of her excitement, she occasionally glanced at Su Baiqian.
Why… because Su Baiqian was even more beautiful.
“I’ve grown up surrounded by riches and luxury, yet I am still inferior to a girl from a rural village…”
In her heart, a trace of jealousy quietly blossomed.
Moreover, if Su Baiqian followed them to Golden Earth Mountain and accidentally caught the attention of the shadowed figures… wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?
In that moment, a glimmer of cold resolve surfaced in her thoughts.
“When my beauty becomes permanent… that will be the day you descend into everlasting ugliness!”
