.
Under the boundless, endless dark night, Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang quietly awaited the maturing of the Tricolored Flower.
"The heavenly light penetrates from the night sky without any pattern, while the earthly light is relatively more frequent. Many spiritual objects you see are ford by being exposed to earthly light..."
The two sat side by side, with Yun Wanshang continuously explaining the circumstances of the Land of Eternal Night to Lu Changsheng.
Not far away, Qian Zhuyan, with her tall and solid body and a cold tallic luster, watched the two who seed like a couple, her soul fire gently flickering within her eye sockets.
For so reason, watching her lord with another woman, her soul consciousness which lacked emotional fluctuation, inexplicably felt a trace of discomfort.
"Boom!"
During this ti, whenever any mutant creature or eerie spirit approached, Qian Zhuyan would not wait for the three Golden Armor Guards to act. She would imdiately take action with the puppets, exterminating them swiftly and decisively.
Lu Changsheng noticed that the commotion caused by Qian Zhuyan’s actions was sowhat larger than usual, but attributed it to the oppressive influence of the Land of Eternal Night, and did not pay it much mind.
Ti passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month went by.
On this day, the Tricolored Flower suddenly blood at a speed visible to the naked eye, swaying with a dazzling, splendid crystalline rain of flowers, as if countless tiny stars poured out and scattered, spreading an intoxicating fragrance.
"The Tricolored Flower is completely mature now!"
Seeing the Tricolored Flower blooming before her eyes, Yun Wanshang’s beautiful eyes shone with joy. She quickly channeled her mana, covering her fair jade-like hands, and then carefully dug out the entire Tricolored Flower.
From the leaves to the roots, the Tricolored Flower shimred with an enchanting colorful glow, resembling a delicate glass artwork, crystal clear.
"Lu Changsheng, consuming this spiritual object for the first ti might cause so discomfort. Let’s return to Qingyun City first, and you can consu it peacefully then."
Yun Wanshang placed the Tricolored Flower into a jade box she had prepared in advance, handing it to Lu Changsheng with a smile.
At this ti, she was in a good mood, as obtaining each rare spiritual object brought her a step closer to returning.
"Thank you, True Immortal."
Infected by Yun Wanshang’s joy, Lu Changsheng gladly accepted the jade box.
If it weren’t for thinking of the wives and children at ho, he wouldn’t mind spending more ti in the Land of Eternal Night with this Caiyun True Immortal.
After spending a month together, he understood more about the Caiyun True Immortal before him, slowly overlapping with the image of the master in the Soul Path Dreams.
Then, the party set off towards Yun Wanshang’s Qingyun City.
The journey from here to Qingyun City was quite far. Although Yun Wanshang kept several Guardian Falcons, she dared not use them rashly in this peril-ridden deep mountain, and could only rely on them after exiting the mountains.
Otherwise, encountering so mutant creatures or eerie spirits would be extrely dangerous.
Seven days later, suddenly a system notification sounded in Lu Changsheng’s mind.
[Congratulations, host, your descendants have reached 10,000, granting you an Advanced Lottery opportunity.]
"Hmm!? Advanced Lottery?"
Lu Changsheng paused, unexpectedly finding that his descendants reaching ten thousand afforded him an advanced token.
If this continues, won’t he be able to receive an advanced lottery every few years?
"Just thought of sothing," Lu Changsheng softly explained to Yun Wanshang, who was looking at him, before they continued their journey.
...
Half a month later.
"There in front is Qingyun City."
Standing side by side on the Guardian Falcon, Yun Wanshang and Lu Changsheng were only a few feet apart.
Lu Changsheng could clearly sll a fragrant scent akin to cold plum blossoms in snow, yet fresh and elegant.
For him, with a Fourth Rank Physique, the Caiyun True Immortal was completely unguarded at this mont.
If he had malicious intent, even if she had recovered much mana, she would not be his match.
However, from these details, Lu Changsheng sensed an invisible trust.
Or perhaps, from the mont they t and reunited, a trust had quietly ford between them.
"Mmm." Without needing Yun Wanshang to say more, Lu Changsheng had already seen the city ahead under the night sky, dazzling and splendid, bright as day.
A quarter of an hour later, the Guardian Falcon, like a black teor, descended from high above.
"Greetings, City Lord!"
The armored guards on the city wall bowed upon seeing Yun Wanshang, filled with curiosity and respect for Lu Changsheng as he descended from the Guardian Falcon.
After all, soone who could ride alongside their City Lord wouldn’t be simple!
Especially since Lu Changsheng’s outstanding appearance and deanor indicated he was no ordinary person!
The two entered the city together.
Though ostensibly a city, Qingyun City couldn’t compare to the Immortal Cities of the Cultivation World, not even on par with Dream Immortal City by several levels.
The city walls, entirely built of blue stone, though inscribed with many array patterns, appeared rather simple.
Lu Changsheng knew that this sort of array was set up using Beast Crystals, far inferior in intricacy to formations in the Cultivation World.
After reaching the City Lord Mansion, Yun Wanshang arranged a place for Lu Changsheng and said, "Lu Changsheng, you should rest for a few days. I will assist you later with the refinent of the Tricolored Flower."
"As for your spiritual pet, once you have restored so mana, you can use the Water Mirror Technique to project its image, and I will instruct people to search for it."
Dressed in a colorful palace gown, Yun Wanshang was tall and elegant, yet her deanor was gentle and composed, like a kindly elder.
"Alright." Lu Changsheng replied with a smile, his deanor natural and relaxed.
...
Three days later.
In the Cultivation Quiet Room of the City Lord Mansion.
With Yun Wanshang’s protection, Lu Changsheng gently opened the jade box, plucked a scintillating, radiant petal of the Tricolored Flower, and placed it in his mouth.
