Lin Yun's eyes widened when he saw the black flower, and even his breathing became a bit hurried.
'Worthy of being the slumbering place of a Bone Devil …' Lin Yun jumped into the hole, not even caring about the thick rotting smell. He crouched down in front of the black flower and used the handle of the invaluable Spiritual Magic Staff to gently dig around the black flower.
Lin Yun's movements were very careful. Often, he would dig a few times before bringing out a bit of soil. One minute passed, two minutes passed, three minutes passed … Ten minutes passed, and it looked like there was no progress at all. But Lin Yun didn't seem anxious at all, he was still focused and slowly digging.
Because Lin Yun knew that this was the Obsidian Flower, the rumored root of all evil. A little damage to it would be an unbearable loss.
After all, even those powerful mages at the peak of the Magic Era rarely saw a living Obsidian Flower. That was the manifestation of the resentment of countless undead lifeforms. It represented the most malicious and evil existence in this world, and every petal contained an incurable poison. Even a light touch could instantly kill a High Mage.
Moreover, it was said that the souls of humans poisoned by the Obsidian Flower would be eternally immersed, enduring pain and torture for all eternity.
But the fruit borne by the Obsidian Flower was an incomparably precious magic material. The Obsidian Flower would bear a total of three kinds of fruits, and each one was enough to create miracles in the field of alchemy.
Lin Yun remembered that in about five hundred years, there would be an unlucky Master Alchemist named Lawrence. He would lose his entire fortune in one night in the Storm Sea's sea market, and he would only be left with a hundred golds. Lawrence used them to buy a withered fruit. At that time, everyone felt that Lawrence was done for.
But who would have thought that a year later, Lawrence would rely on that withered fruit to craft his first True Spirit Magic Tool and step into the ranks of the Artisan realm.
At that time, people learned that the withered fruit Lawrence bought for a hundred golds was called the Radiant Heart. It was one of the three kinds of fruit borne by the Obsidian Flower.
This was the miracle of alchemy created by the Obsidian Flower.
It made a desperate Master Alchemist step into the ranks of the Artisan realm in one fell swoop.
Lin Yun took thirty minutes to dig out that Obsidian Flower, but he didn't dare to touch it with his hands. Instead, he took out a pair of gloves woven from Gold Essence from his pocket and put them on before pulling out the entire Obsidian Flower. The long roots had just left the soil when a cold wind blew over. Countless resentful souls flew out of the pit and let out mournful whimpers in the sky. At that moment, the entire world became sinister and sinister.
Lin Yun knew that this was the Obsidian Flower's own resentment.
He didn't panic and directly cast a Mind Defense, followed by a Banish Evil.
In an instant, the cold wind stopped and the resentful souls dissipated. The entire world became peaceful.
After doing all this, Lin Yun held the Obsidian Flower in one hand and the Spiritual Magic Staff in the other before climbing out of the pit.
'It's time to go back …'
As he climbed out of the pit, Lin Yun took one last look at the black wasteland.
Then, Lin Yun discovered a strange phenomenon.
'There are actually so many Skeleton Warriors?'
It was a bit strange. After the death of the Bone Devil, the overlord of the black wasteland, the number of Skeleton Warriors didn't decrease. Instead, they had unknowingly increased.
Seeing these thriving Skeleton Warriors, Lin Yun's eyes shone.
Originally, Lin Yun had planned to bring the puppet back to Noscent to be repaired, but when he saw so many Skeleton Warriors, Lin Yun couldn't help himself. These Skeleton Warriors were so lush, if he didn't harvest them, he would be letting down this fertile black wasteland.
Lin Yun thought about it and gave the puppet two more orders.
One was to hunt in the vicinity, the other was to collect Undead Essence.
To the Skeleton Warriors of the black wasteland, these two orders were like a nightmare.
Naturally, this didn't have much to do with Lin Yun. After arranging the puppet's activities for the next month, Lin Yun patted the dirt off his robe and once again chanted the incantation to open the Planar Path.
The next time he returned to the Bone Plane, he would have to start mining the Nether Iron Vein, as well as looking for the shortcut to the Book of Death.
After a short spatial distortion, Lin Yun once again returned to Noscent. This time, Lin Yun didn't check his harvest in the secret room. Instead, he quickly went to the garden and planted the Obsidian Flower.
Then, the entire garden was in trouble …
The Obsidian Flower wasn't called the root of all evil for no reason. The poison contained within was enough to instantly kill a High Mage. How could a small garden withstand the destruction of the root of all evil? Just as it was planted, the entire garden underwent a huge change. The trees withered, the flowers withered, and in a short time, all the plants in the garden died.
At this time, even Lin Yun couldn't do anything about it.
In the end, after thinking about it, he could only draw two arrays at the entrance of the garden to prevent the poison from leaking out. At the same time, he told the servants that no one was allowed to approach the garden. After doing all this, Lin Yun sighed in relief. But he also knew that this method could only treat the symptoms and not the root of the problem. There might not be any problem now, but once the Obsidian Flower fully bloomed and started bearing fruit, those two arrays might not be able to contain the poison. At that time, the only thing he could do would be to have everyone move out.
However, before he could think of any other way, this method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause could only be the only way.
Naturally, if he was lucky enough to find another Parasitic Tree, everything would be a lot easier.
If the Parasitic Tree was planted with the Obsidian Flower, not only would it absorb the Obsidian Flower's poison, but it would also make the Obsidian Flower bear two fruits!
'Looks like I have to look for an opportunity to take a stroll in the Savage Highlands …' Lin Yun scratched his cheek and returned to his study to check his harvest.
