Chapter 383: Seven Flowers Secret Records

Flower Guzi, led into the cave dwelling by Ning Zhuo, felt as if she were in a dream.

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

Ning Zhuo first seated himself in the host's chair and greeted Flower Guzi: "Fellow Daoist Hua, please take a seat."

Flower Guzi paused for a moment, then chose the seat closest to Ning Zhuo and sat down.

Then, she leaned to one side, trying to get as close to Ning Zhuo as possible.

Ning Zhuo: ?!

At the same moment, he felt extreme emotions like ecstasy and infatuation emanating from within Flower Guzi.

Terrifying!

Ning Zhuo immediately felt some regret, regretting bringing Flower Guzi in. But there was nothing he could do; since he had already done it, he could only brace himself and see it through.

He said with a detached expression: "Fellow Daoist Hua, to avoid any future entanglements between us, today I will accept the flower cultivation method you mentioned."

Flower Guzi suddenly stood up, floated in front of Ning Zhuo, her eyes shining brightly, and quickly presented a jade slip.

"Stop." Ning Zhuo quickly reached out to prevent Flower Guzi from getting too close.

He activated his magic power and took the jade slip from Flower Guzi's hand.

Flower Guzi was immediately disappointed, as she couldn't touch Ning Zhuo's fingers this way.

"Alright." Ning Zhuo looked at the nearby Flower Guzi, constantly feeling that she would pounce on him in the next moment.

If Flower Guzi harbored hostility, killing intent, or fighting spirit, Ning Zhuo could easily deal with it.

The problem was, Flower Guzi was quite friendly towards Ning Zhuo.

This made it very difficult for Ning Zhuo to handle the situation.

He was only sixteen years old, and such people and troubles were a bit too tricky for him.

Ning Zhuo could only be on high alert, speaking coldly: "Alright, I have received the item. You can leave now."

"Leave already?!" Flower Guzi was filled with reluctance and deep regret.

"Please leave, Fellow Daoist Hua." Ning Zhuo's voice was icy, and the smile on his face was gone.

Flower Guzi's heart trembled violently. Being rejected by Ning Zhuo in this manner made her feel a strange thrill of being bullied from the depths of her being!

"Detestable, hateful, infuriating!"

"To treat me like this!! Not putting me in his eyes!!"

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

Flower Guzi was chased out of the cave dwelling by Ning Zhuo.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and her entire body trembled slightly.

There was anger, hatred, and grievance, but also an indescribable feeling of strange pleasure.

Soon, the feeling of pleasure surged like a raging flood, overwhelming all negative emotions.

She looked back at Ning Zhuo's cave dwelling, let out a soft cry, her face flushed red, and floated away.

"Finally gone." Ning Zhuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling somewhat parched.

He sat in the host's chair, closed his eyes to rest, and only after regulating his breathing did his emotions 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 Roaming Grass.

Its grass blades are deep green, with edges emitting a faint purple fluorescence, and the overall shape spreads out like a sunflower. Each leaf is covered with fine silver veins, and at night, under the moonlight, they emit a faint fluorescence, like stars scattered on the leaves.

Its stem is slender and straight, with a smooth surface that has a faint purple luster. There are some fine silver scales on the lower part of the stem, which can reflect weak light.

And at specific times, it will bloom with small purple flowers. The petals are crystal clear, and in the center of the flower is a deep blue crystal resembling the night sky.

And this specific time is the Ghost Festival.

During the festival, the gates of the underworld open all over the world, and ghosts from the underworld walk rampant in the human realm, seeking revenge for grudges and righting wrongs.

The deities in the underworld must also quickly dispatch forces to stop and detain these ghosts who intend to cause mischief. Among them, the Night Roaming Gods are the main force.

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

This is how the Night Roaming Grass got its name.

And to plant Night Roaming Grass, one needs a dark place with strong yin energy. In terms of spiritual energy, it must be depleted during the day and abundant at night, and the difference must be very obvious.

For fertilization, one should choose night dew, starlight spirit fluid, night-blooming jasmine...

Night Roaming Grass, Purple Smoke Orchid, Silver Butterfly Flower, Soul Essence Flower, Sunset Glow Peach, Burning Heart Flower, and Poison Flame Chrysanthemum, a total of seven kinds of rare and exotic flowers and grasses.

The entire content in the jade slip is the cultivation method for these seven kinds of rare and exotic flowers and grasses. Each one is detailed and practical, and can be operated step by step.

"Soul Essence Flower?"

Ning Zhuo's gaze paused slightly, he knew this kind of flower.

Eleven years ago, a demonic cultivator named Hua Qianhun came outside Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

He set up a scheme, planting flowers in a valley near the city, causing the sea of flowers to spread, covering the mountains and plains, creating rumors of the birth of rare flowers.

Many people were attracted and entered the sea of flowers, their souls were extracted and became flower fertilizer. In the end, a rare flower indeed appeared, named Soul Essence Flower. Hua Qianhun immediately picked it and quickly escaped.

Ning Zhuo became interested and skipped the flowers in between, prioritizing browsing the Soul Essence Flower. In the jade slip, the appearance of the Soul Essence Flower is described in detail.

Its petals are semi-transparent, and their color changes with the light, ranging from crystal clear to deep dark purple. On each petal, there seem to be souls swimming, and when the breeze blows, the ripples of the swaying souls are visible to the naked eye.

Its flower heart is deep black, emitting a faint blue fluorescence, like a pair of deep eyes, looking directly into people's hearts.

And the leaves are a dark green, giving a chilling and terrifying feeling.

Looking at the soil requirements, Ning Zhuo indeed saw that the Soul Essence Flower needs to be planted in soil containing a large amount of soul energy. The best choice is an ancient battlefield.

But the area around Fire Persimmon Mountain has also seen the death of countless living beings, so in terms of soil, it is indeed suitable.

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

The specific planting location also needs to be carefully chosen, requiring a place where yin and yang intersect, not too dark and not too yang. The best location is in the depths of a mountain 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 sacrifice is the Soul Essence Flower. Through sacrificial spells, souls are offered to the flowers to promote their growth.

In the jade slip, the efficacy is also mentioned.

This kind of Soul Essence Flower naturally purifies external souls, can increase the foundation of the soul, and has no side effects.

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

After Ning Zhuo read the entire content of the jade slip, he found that the one with the highest market value was the Sunset Glow Peach. But the one most suitable for the Ning family branch should be the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum.

This kind of chrysanthemum needs to be planted in a place of intense heat, the best location being within an active volcano, a place filled with fire poison. This place needs to have rolling flames and erupting ground fire year-round, which helps the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum absorb the power of fire poison.

If the location is good, the soil for cultivating the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum does not need to be processed. But if it is slightly inferior, it needs to use waste soil refined from cooled volcanic magma, mixed with century-old fire poison rock debris and the ashes of thousand-year-old flame vines, and processed according to the refining method to create Flame Poison Fire Evil Soil.

A Blazing Poison Fire Array can be set up to condense the fire poison qi and enhance the toxicity and fire element power of the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum.

In the jade slip, there are also detailed instructions on how to set up the Blazing Poison Fire Array.

For example, the array core needs to be made of high-grade fire element crystals, which can attract and gather flames.

Another example is the four cardinal fire gates, each having a fire spirit lamp. Fire essence burns continuously in the lamps, illuminating all directions.

And another example is the eight poison positions, each needing to raise a fire poison copper scale snake to transform the fire poison qi.

During the cultivation phase of the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum, after the flower buds grow, talismans can be drawn on the buds at the appropriate time.

The talismans are named Poison Smoke Talisman and Blazing Flame Talisman. If the toxicity of the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum is slightly less, use the Poison Smoke Talisman to increase toxicity. If the fire element power is weak, use the Blazing Flame Talisman to enhance its intensity.

In the jade slip, the specific methods for drawing the Poison Smoke Talisman and Blazing Flame Talisman are also included.

For example, the Poison Smoke Talisman needs to be mixed with red blood ink and the essence of fire poison insects to form a specific talisman ink.

Another example is the Blazing Flame Talisman, which is best written under the blazing sun when the sun is high, absorbing the radiance of the scorching sun.

The jade slip records: If the conditions are met, Flame Poison Powder can also be used for fertilization. This pill is refined using Poison Flame Chrysanthemum petals as the main ingredient, supplemented with highly toxic medicinal materials such as flame scorpion hearts, fire poison lizard gallbladders, and crimson spirit grass.

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

The cultivation of Poison Flame Chrysanthemum requires little water, but not none. When irrigating, natural hot spring water should be used, and it should not be cold, maintaining a high temperature.

During the growth of the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum, it also needs to be exposed to the blazing sun for a period of time to absorb the intense sunlight and neutralize the yin, only then can it grow vigorously.

Ning Zhuo studied it carefully and couldn't help but feel many emotions.

Cultivating spiritual plants, abbreviated as cultivation, is one of the hundred arts of cultivation.

To do well in this field, it actually involves achievements in other areas. For example, using pills, setting up arrays, and drawing talismans.

From this, it can be seen that the hundred arts of cultivation are not mutually exclusive, but interconnected, with each containing elements of the other.

It's just that one art is primary, and other techniques are auxiliary, with a clear distinction between primary and secondary.

Only the art of mechanisms does not distinguish between primary and secondary. The hundred arts of cultivation, and even cultivation itself, are integrated and manifested in the form of mechanical creations.

Therefore, the art of mechanisms is difficult to learn and master, but if one truly achieves success in learning it, the upper limit is very high. It can integrate the hundred arts of cultivation into one, achieving great success!

Ning Zhuo only had a slight understanding of cultivation techniques, and was not proficient at all, a complete layman.

The Seven Flower Cultivation Secret Manual from Flower Guzi opened his eyes wide, and he speculated whether the cultivation of countless herbs in the Myriad Medicine Sect was also like this.

Ning Zhuo could only know the result of these cultivation classics, but not the reason behind it.

"I am still too shallow."

"The existing content is right in front of me, but I cannot deduce the reason why things are done this way."

"There is no end to learning, I still need to study 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 station.

It was too unsafe!

This kind of industrial secret, like a hen that lays golden eggs, must be delivered personally.

Once the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum is established, the Ning family branch will have a continuous stream of new income.

This is a beneficial thing for the entire branch family and for Ning Zhuo.
