Female lead: No, it's me again??

Based on this reasoning, Yan Xue'er's actions seem to be more complex than they appear on the surface.

What role does this person play in all of this?

Feng Siyue opened her storage ring and took out the bamboo slip containing the "Mother and Child Ten Thousand Flying Flowers Technique".

Why did Yan Xue'er secretly learn this book?

"The Myriad Flying Flowers Technique Between Mother and Child" is the top-tier cultivation method of the Puppet Wood Clan. Cultivators must use their heart's blood to irrigate a section of top-grade spiritual plant and use a special mental cultivation method to nurture their dantian until it is connected to their own bloodline.

Once the spirit tree takes root and sprouts, a unique companion spirit belonging solely to the Mu family will grow in the dantian.

The power of the accompanying Holy Spirit can be reflected back to the host, and its power varies depending on the type chosen.

For example, if you choose a high-grade Epiphyllum flower with regenerative abilities, as long as the Epiphyllum flower in your dantian is in its mature stage, your damaged limbs will recover within three days.

Your flesh and blood also have the ability to regenerate the limbs of others.

Not to mention the basics like fragrance, to put it more bluntly, it's like trying to take the form of the ephemeral beauty of the night-blooming cereus.

This cultivation technique is incredibly powerful!

There are countless martial arts techniques, so why did she only learn this one?

Why hasn't Butterfly Spirit awakened?

Not enough strength?

But my senior brother said that Thousand Water City plus Cloud City is enough for Butterfly Spirit to awaken. Could it be that something went wrong and the power was insufficient, causing Butterfly Spirit not to awaken?

"An unexpected event... the Mother-Child Myriad Flying Flowers Technique..."

Feng Siyue suddenly looked up and muttered to herself,

"Is it possible that Yan Xue'er had already discovered this, and happened to know that Mu Li possessed this cultivation technique, and that she nurtured a special spiritual plant that could replace the people of Yunbi City?"

Not enough strength...

Having witnessed the tragedy in Thousand Water City firsthand, she doesn't believe the problem lies with Thousand Water City; the most likely culprit is Cloud City.

Only when power is not power, or has no effect, will it affect the awakening of the Butterfly Spirit.

In other words, the humans of Cloud City may not have been transformed into power, or the source of the transformed power may not have been the humans of Cloud City at all!

The humans of Cloud City are very likely still alive!

"But what kind of spiritual plant could protect so many people without being discovered?"

To possess these two points, two characteristics are required.

First, spiritual plants have a sufficiently large space, or the ability to teleport to other dimensions.

Secondly, the created 'human' aura is so realistic that it can be mistaken for the real thing, meaning it has the ability to replicate.

In this way, when the humans of Cloud City are subjected to blood refinement, it will not arouse the suspicion of the mastermind behind the scenes!

Does such a thing exist in the Fantasy Universe Continent?

With the guesses made, the next step is to verify them.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

'Knock knock. '

Outside, a young man's gentle voice could be heard.

"Junior sister, it's time."

"coming."

Feng Siyue put away the bamboo slips, opened the door and went out.

"Senior brother."

Feng Siyue followed Gongzi Qi out of the inn. In the pitch-black night, many streets were brightly lit.

“Junior sister, let’s split up and search on our own. If you can’t solve the problem, you can use the palace gate token to send me a message.”

Feng Siyue nodded, "Be careful, Senior Brother."

"Ah."

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, ran through the dark city of Jiangchuan.

"Qingqing, in the study, is there any record of any spiritual plant that possesses a large space and has an almost perfect replication ability?"

Even after three years, she had only read less than one percent of the books in her ancestral study.

"It needs to have its own storage space and perfect replication capabilities... Let me think~"

A flash of inspiration struck Qingqing.

"Oh right, the Hollow Tree!"

"Empty Tree?"

Qingqing said, "The Void Tree is the 94th ranked innate divine tree among the rare treasures of the Void Realm. It has a huge space inside that can fill mountains and seas!"

"Its flower, the Hollow Flower, possesses an almost magical ability to replicate itself. If you drip a drop of blood onto its stamen, you will obtain a 'Feng Siyue' who is exactly like you and whose consciousness is bound to yours!"

"Ignore level!"

"Absolute obedience!"

"No restrictions!"

"It's to the point where I can't tell the difference even without relying on the soul contract. It's just that this thing has a short term, only ten years."

"Ten years, that's not a short time, is it?"

Feng Siyue clicked her tongue in amazement.

She could replicate herself exactly and exist for ten years... If she had that, wouldn't her combat power double?

"But does the Illusionary Universe Continent have the Void Tree?"

Qingqing shook her head. "It's basically impossible. As a divine object ranked 94th among rare treasures, it has extremely demanding requirements for its growth environment. At the very least, it must be a place with abundant divine power."

"The Fantasy Universe Continent... is very difficult to nurture."

Difficult?

Feng Siyue was still somewhat unwilling to give up, "Is there nothing else?"

"The world is full of wonders, but some things are simply defying the heavens, and even fewer are combined with spatial replication."

"The others either have extremely small spaces or their replication capabilities are not perfect. Only the Empty Tree fits the bill."

Feng Siyue fell silent.

If the Mu family rose to prominence due to good fortune, then the existence of the "Mother and Child Ten Thousand Flying Flowers Technique" could not have been without any basis.

Is Yan Xue'er really as she thinks?

But Qingqing also said it was impossible.

Feng Siyue asked, "Where does the Empty Tree grow?"

"Hmm... I think I saw it in an underwater world, according to your records, sir?"

seabed......

Water elemental power.

Mu Li mentioned that Yan Xue'er has a top-grade water spirit root.

This is too much of a coincidence.

Feng Siyue frowned slightly, but she didn't have time to think about it, because she had run into the Heart-Eating Demon who looked seven parts like the fox from before.

In the following time, Feng Siyue began a thorough search of Jiangchuan City.

Along the way, they encountered disciples from other sects, some of whom claimed to be searching for the culprit, while others lingered in brothels.

Even worse, they carelessly wander around places where there are no people.

They're really not afraid of death.

At such times, she would extend her spiritual sense to see in all directions and hear in all directions. Who can say that these are not qualified bait?

After the third monster was smashed into a pulp, dawn broke.

"Can you guys hurry up? The early bird catches the worm, don't you know that?"

A boy's voice suddenly rang out on the deserted street.

Lin Shan, who was following behind him, slumped his head and yawned sleepily. "Zhu Liu, who's the kind person who's out looking for the murderer at this hour?"

The boy rolled his eyes at her.

"What do you know? I'm doing the opposite! Everyone knows the murderer always strikes at night, when human cultivators are most relaxed during the day!"

"Couldn't you guess who the killer was?"

"If we come out at this time, we're sure to find some clues!!"

Lin Shan: "..." That makes a lot of sense.

Fu Xiang patted her shoulder and said weakly,

"Forget it, Junior Sister Lin, don't argue with him. We're already out, might as well have some breakfast."

Lin Shan raised his hand listlessly and said, "I second that... After all, where's the motivation to go when we're hungry?"

"Do not……"

"Cuckoo~"

Just as the boy was about to refuse, he suddenly felt his stomach protesting. He felt a little embarrassed. "Alright, let's just find a place, eat, and then head out. We can't let Zhan Fuling get there first!"

Lin Shan nodded, "Okay, okay..."

Zhu Liu looked around and pointed to the only lit steamed bun shop a few dozen meters ahead, saying, "Let's buy some there!"

The three approached.

The shop seemed to have just opened; steamers of buns were stacked one on top of another, and an old man was tending a fire by the stove.

"Six meat buns, please, vendor!"

Six?

Lin Shan's lips twitched.

"You're going to eat four by yourself?"

The boy said matter-of-factly.

Two for each person, more if needed!

Fu Xiang shook her head, "One is enough for me..."

"Don't talk so soon, I won't pay if there's not enough food!"

Fu Xiang: "......."

After talking for a while, Zhu Liu still hadn't seen the old man move, so he urged, "Stadium owner?"

The old man slowly turned around, his dark eyes quietly looking at them. "Try it first, make sure it's well-cooked..."
