One book, two books, three books...

One page, two pages, three pages...

The bookshelf in the attic was a mess after being searched. Shui Qilin was a little discouraged, but when he turned around, he saw Shen Qingge still with a determined look on his face.

Suddenly, Shen Qingge smiled and called out to Shui Qilin, "Come and see, there's a record of the Seven-Star Begonia here!"

The water qilin howled twice and ran over happily.

At this time, Shen Qingge was reading word by word:

The Seven-Star Begonia is a small deciduous tree with oval, finely serrated leaves. Its flowers grow in clusters in umbels. They are red before bloom and gradually turn pink after blooming. Most of the flowers are semi-double.

This flower grows slowly, taking ten years to bloom, and is prone to mutation. It originates from the cold and gloomy lands on the southern border of the Lingnan region, and has very demanding growing conditions, making it extremely rare.

As the Water Qilin listened to Shen Qingge's description, a flicker of curiosity and excitement flashed in its eyes. It leaned forward to the pages, carefully examining the text and illustrations, wanting to gain a deeper understanding of this torturous poison.

Shen Qingge continued reading, "The fragrance of its flowers is elegant and refreshing, which can make people feel happy. However, the Seven-Star Begonia is extremely toxic. Ingestion or contact with its juice can cause severe poisoning.

Those who are poisoned by this will not live longer than three months. Their internal energy will slowly be lost, and they will suffer severe pain all over their body. Each time the poison attacks, the symptoms will become more severe, and they will eventually die from blood reversal..."

After reading this, Shen Qingge's voice stopped abruptly.

It seems that if it weren't for the medicine and spiritual spring water that had been suppressing the toxicity, Xiao Heng would have died long ago...

Seeing her expressionless face, Qilin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly urged her, "Master, please stop being dazed. Hurry and see if there's any way to detoxify!"

Shen Qingge finally came back to his senses from his thoughts, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to flip through the pages.

"If you want to remove this strange poison, you must find the Blue Luan Flower, which can remove the extremely yin poison. You must also use the virgin blood of the Saintess of the West Moon Nation, supplemented by the secret techniques of the Southern Border, to activate the Blue Luan Flower and remove the poison!"

"What Saintess of the West Moon Nation? What Southern Border Secret Technique?"

Shen Qingge couldn't help but mutter to herself as she read this, her mood becoming increasingly depressed. She had never heard of these things about the Saintess of the West Moon Nation and the Southern Border Secret Arts, let alone seen them. How could she possibly find them in such a short time?

At this moment, the Water Qilin also had its head drooping. The Blue Luan Flower was an ancient relic, considered a magical herb. How could it be so easy to find?

It pondered for a moment, then said gravely, "Well... Master, how about we think of another way? This Blue Luan Flower is really hard to find! How about..."

Shen Qingge was feeling depressed at the moment. When he heard Shui Qilin mention the Blue Luan Flower, he answered without thinking, "The Blue Luan Flower is nothing serious. There is one in the flower field."

"What? There are blue phoenix flowers in the flower field?"

When the water qilin heard this, it immediately cried out in surprise, howling non-stop. It was not that it had not visited that half-acre flower field before, but it had not examined it carefully.

Its cry was so loud that it almost deafened Shen Qingge.

Shen Qingge was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this ancient mythical beast also knew about the Blue Luan Flower, so she patiently explained to it:

"Yes, there is one in the flower field. I saw it when I discovered this jade pendant space. If you don't believe me, go and see it!"

The water qilin was no longer discouraged, and in a blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the flower field. It carefully parted the rare and exotic plants, and sure enough, in the center of the flower field, it saw a budding blue phoenix flower.

I saw that the flowers and leaves of the blue phoenix flower were opposite each other, shaped like small ingots, and the flower buds were blue-purple, which was very beautiful.

The Water Qilin couldn't help but exclaimed, "It really is! Master, this dimension of yours is truly filled with treasures! But, Master, how could a mortal woman like you recognize the Blue Luan Flower?"

Shen Qingge was still lost in thought, and replied lazily, "I've seen it in one of my mother's treasured books!"

"That's right, that's right! Master, don't be depressed, I have good news for you!"

"What's the good news?"

"Aren't you worried about the Saint of Xiyue Country? I suspect your mother is the one!"

"What? My mother is just a gentle and virtuous lady from a noble family, who is powerless." Shen Qingge shook her head and disagreed with Shui Qilin's statement.

"Then how do you explain the beast-taming bloodline in your body? As far as I know, this is a bloodline that only the Feng family in Southern Xinjiang possesses.

From generation to generation, women from this clan have become saints of the West Moon Kingdom, in charge of their country's medicine and divination.

But this clan declined in the early years and disappeared!"

Shen Qingge was shocked by Shui Qilin's words. She had never imagined her mother's life story to be so complicated. She had always thought her mother was just a weak noblewoman who had fled north after her family fell into poverty.

"Impossible, my mother..." Shen Qingge murmured to himself, unable to accept this fact.

"Master, think about it, has your mother ever left you anything special or any hints? Maybe these are clues that can help us uncover the truth." Shui Qilin reminded.

Shen Qingge fell into deep thought, recalling every moment she had spent with her mother. Suddenly, she remembered some stories her mother had told her when she was a child, some of which seemed to mention legends and mysterious powers of Southern Xinjiang. Could it be that her mother was truly related to the Southern Xinjiang Feng clan?

"Perhaps, you are right, Water Qilin. But I need more evidence to confirm all this."

Shen Qingge decided to investigate further, searching for more clues, but not now. At that moment, the officers were shouting at the prisoners to set up camp and end their day's journey. She had just been using her mind for too long, and she was beginning to feel the strain.

She suppressed her inner excitement and used the branches she picked up to help her grandmother and the others build a simple wooden tent. Every autumn rain brings a chill, and now the weather in late autumn is getting even colder after the rain.

Then, she lit a fire and finished her meal with her family, chatting and laughing until everyone fell asleep...

These two hours seemed to her like a whole day. She lay in bed, pretending to be asleep, but her mind was full of thoughts and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Could she possibly uncover the mystery of her life today? A strong sense of uncertainty washed over her, making her feel extremely anxious and uneasy.

When the night was deep and quiet, she finally couldn't wait to slip into the space, opened the first floor of the attic, and found her mother's belongings lying quietly in a specific corner.

She carefully picked up her mother's belongings, gently wiped off the thin layer of dust on them, and unfolded them one by one to look at them.
