Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

After New Year's Eve, there was another period of great festivities.

The weather is gradually getting warmer.

In the still slightly cool breeze, the warm sun shines on all sides. At this time, it is the perfect time to move a deck chair, find a sunny slope to lie on, and feel the comfort and laziness that have not been seen all winter!

Li Qing was standing in the courtyard, basking in the sunlight, when a graceful figure entered.

"Li Qing, look what this is!" The girl walked over, holding a roll of pale yellow soft paper in her hands, and said happily.

Li Qing stretched and looked at the unfolded paper—

Ah, isn't this the "Winter Solstice Picture" he drew the other day?

However, the once bleak and desolate plum blossom painting has now been adorned with a unique crimson, a vibrant red! It perfectly complements the warm sunshine and gentle breeze before us!

Li Qing's nose twitched, and a faint, delicate, and enchanting fragrance emanated from the plum blossom painting, intoxicating the senses.

"You big rascal!" The girl looked at Li Qing, sniffing, looking blushing and revealing a girlish charm as she scolded him.

For some reason, the once spirited and cheerful young woman has recently been showing more and more of the expressions that she used to find most unacceptable in front of Li Qing.

"Could it be the legendary 'Dawn Makeup Dyeing Plum Blossoms'?" Li Qing looked at the girl and said with a smile. Without waiting for the girl to reply, he continued, "We're practically getting moldy staying in this courtyard. Let's go out and take a look!"

Upon seeing the completed "Nine Plum Blossoms" painting, Li Qing felt a strong urge to go out and take a look.

Spring has arrived, another year has passed, and it's time for all things to revive!

The two carried a food box, and Li Qing also carried two jars of sake, heading north.

That day, when Li Qing looked out from the octagonal tower, he only saw the high mountains to the north. This time, he didn't care about the location.

Once you exit the North Gate, the crowds thin out, and you can only occasionally see a few farmers working.

The mountains, as if unveiled, appeared clearly before our eyes, like a long dragon winding across the landscape, its destination unknown.

Before long, the two had reached the foot of the mountain, where ancient trees grew deeper and fallen leaves covered the ground!

Amidst the deep, dark yellow hue, tiny green shoots occasionally emerge, brimming with vitality!

"Let's sit here!" Li Qing said, and was about to find a blue stone to sit down when he suddenly saw the girl still standing there blankly.

Following the girl's gaze, Li Qing saw a fresh, pure white patch of color reflected not far away, amidst the yellow vines and withered trees!

That was a white that was different from the dazzling and cold white of snow!

It is blossoming with the vibrant energy of life!

Li Qing was also pleasantly surprised, not expecting to see such a view.

He recognized the flower; it was called the magnolia, and like the plum blossom, it bloomed before the green leaves appeared in early spring.

Before he traveled through time, the university campus was filled with magnolias in spring—red, pink, and white; compared to the small and dry plum blossoms, the magnolias were more vibrant and lovely.

Although there were only white magnolias here, it was enough to make Li Qing feel surprised and nostalgic.

"where are we going!"

Before the girl could recover, Li Qing grabbed her hand and headed towards where the magnolias were in bloom...

Upon closer inspection, the girl was completely dumbfounded as she stared at the incredibly beautiful magnolias blooming on the withered branches of the tree!

She had never seen such vibrant flowers before!

Even though Li Qing was well-traveled and had seen many Mulans before, he was still taken aback.

He never knew that there was a flower that could be so radiant and beautiful without the need for green leaves to set it off! Under the seven-colored sunlight, it was pure white and dazzling!

A sudden, unknown feeling of emotion welled up inside me!

Why didn't I feel this way before?

Life? Soul!

Looking at the magnolias before her, Li Qing felt, for some reason, that these magnolias each possessed their own life, and that they seemed to have come to life at the moment they bloomed!

"I wonder who gave them such pure and beautiful souls..." A thought flashed through Li Qing's mind, then disappeared in an instant.

He pulled the still-dazed girl along and led her into the magnolia grove.

The sight of magnolia blossoms and magnolia trees everywhere, without a trace of weeds or other unusual plants, struck Li Qing as odd.

He suddenly realized: Shouldn't such a beautiful place attract countless literati and scholars? Why is it so unknown, with no one coming here?

Thinking about this, I suddenly realized that the forest was eerily quiet!

After walking for a while longer, seeing nothing but Mulan, Li Qing had long since lost all sense of direction.

"Wait a minute! Something's strange about this place!"

Li Qing, with a solemn expression, pulled the girl, who was still lost in admiring the magnolia flowers and completely unaware of what was happening.

Is it a ghost wall? A formation? Qimen Dunjia? Getting lost—this shouldn't be happening! Countless thoughts raced through Li Qing's mind.

Thinking this, he looked around and suddenly found that the place that was originally a maze had become eerie and murderous!

An inexplicable aura, like a mountain, pressed down on him, forcing him to kneel; like a great bell, it enveloped him, suffocating him; and like a sharp sword with a chilling gleam, it threatened to pierce his heart!

At the heart meridian, a blazing aura swirled gently, protecting the area where the heart meridian was located.

The cool, faint energy flowing through the meridians was suddenly subjected to immense pressure and slowly forced back to the dantian.

The originally faint blue aura continuously swirled around the turquoise-gold droplets, being compressed and squeezed, causing the color to deepen and the droplets to become smaller and smaller...

Finally, silently, it converged with the shimmering droplet that had been lodged in the center of the dantian, causing the dantian to continuously flash with three colors: green, gold, and blue.

"Um--"

A questioning voice came from the forest, and Li Qing felt the aura around him become even heavier and more indescribable!

At this moment, the droplet of liquid in the dantian transformed into extremely pure, three-colored, shimmering threads, circulating throughout the body—

"boom!"

A loud bang echoed in Li Qing's mind.

He felt a sense of clarity wash over him, and the surrounding energy surged, blowing away countless white clouds. The once eerie and unpredictable Magnolia Forest suddenly opened up!

The sky was bluer, the flowers whiter, and a clear stream flowed through the forest, nestled among the magnolias. In the distance, a thatched cottage could be vaguely seen...

"what?"

Those who had been hiding in the woods were also astonished that Li Qing was able to break through his aura!

"It's not convenient to spill blood today, you may leave!"

A hoarse, unpleasant voice, yet carrying an inexplicable aura, emanated from the forest. Li Qing felt as if countless clashing swords and iron horses were rushing towards him, carrying him through countless scenes filled with murderous intent.

Li Qing felt a dryness in his mouth.

He helped the girl, who had already collapsed to the ground, to her feet and asked in a similarly hoarse voice, "Where is this? And who are you?"

Damn it, just one chapter, and it took me from morning till afternoon to write it, speechless...
