One segment, one seed!
That was the unique characteristic of the Thousand Knot Flower!
Every additional segment required it to bloom, bear fruit, become a seed, and then sprout and grow …
It was a cycle!
However, every time the Thousand Knot Flower grew a new segment, it would take longer for it to sprout and become a seed.
The first segment required it to grow in a day, bloom in a day, bear fruit in a day, and become a seed in a day!
The second segment required it to grow in three days, bloom in three days, bear fruit in three days, and become a seed in three days!
The third segment required it to grow in ten days, bloom in ten days, bear fruit in ten days, and become a seed in ten days!
The fourth segment required it to grow in a month, bloom in a month, bear fruit in a month, and become a seed in a month!
…
Every segment was divided into four stages: growth, bloom, bear fruit, and become a seed!
That was the growth cycle of the Thousand Knot Flower. Other than the time required for each cycle increasing, there were no other changes.
Qin Shaofeng was very familiar with the Thousand Knot Flower. He knew that his master, the White Emperor, Bai Lao, had specially cultivated a Thousand Knot Flower to satisfy his curiosity.
However, when the Thousand Knot Flower had grown to more than 700 segments, Bai Lao had given it up.
At that time, the Thousand Knot Flower with more than 700 segments would have required tens of thousands of years to complete a growth cycle.
In the end, the Thousand Knot Flower with more than 700 segments was used by Bai Lao to concoct an elixir for Bai Nishang to awaken the Nine-Colored Divine Body.
However, Qin Shaofeng had never expected that the competition would be about the planting of the Thousand Knot Flower.
Qin Shaofeng was not the only one who had not expected this. Perhaps everyone present had not expected this.
What Qin Shaofeng found even more unbelievable was that the person who had suggested this method of planting the Thousand Knot Flower was actually Bai Lao.
However, considering the characteristics of the Thousand Knot Flower, it could completely reflect the standard of a planter. Hence, it was decided in the end.
However, if one wanted to use the Thousand Knot Flower to reflect the standard of a planter, the time required would be extremely long.
Hence, the time required for the final stage of the competition was extremely long.
A thousand years!
This stage lasted for an entire thousand years in the arena.
In a thousand days, the person who could nurture the Thousand Segment Flower into the most outstanding one would naturally be the first.
If they had the same number of segments, they would be evaluated according to the growth stage of the Thousand Segment Flower.
The competition officially began, and more than thirty contestants began to cultivate the Thousand Section Flowers.
After obtaining the Thousand Segment Flower seed, Qin Shaofeng did not immediately start cultivating it. This was because Qin Shaofeng had an idea.
Finally, Qin Shaofeng took two Thousand Knots Flower seeds and began to cultivate them.
Although the seeds of the Thousand Knots Flower were rare, only the Thousand Knots Flower that had grown to 100 knots would be able to give birth to new seeds in addition to the ones that were still growing.
For this competition, Bai Lao had provided the seeds of the Thousand Knots Flower. There were a lot of them, about two to three hundred of them.
Hence, each contestant could take several seeds and cultivate several Thousand Knot Flowers at the same time. In the end, the Thousand Knot Flower that grew the best would be the winner.
In fact, not only Qin Shaofeng, but all the contestants present, including the Qilin Young Master and Prince Ling, had taken more than one Thousand Knot Flower seed. They had taken at least four or five seeds.
However, in Qin Shaofeng's eyes, two Thousand Knot Flower seeds were enough.
The reason why Qin Shaofeng took out two Thousand Knot Flower seeds was that he wanted to see if there was a difference between using the Deceleration Light on the seeds before the Thousand Knot Flower germinated and after it had grown.
In the end, Qin Shaofeng guessed correctly. When the Deceleration Light was not used, he planted the Thousand Knot Flower seed and waited for it to germinate before using the Deceleration Light. Without the Deceleration Light, the seed would need more than a day to grow, bloom, and bear fruit.
In the end, it would become a seed again.
However, if he were to use the Light of Deceleration on the newborn seeds, the first cycle would only take one day.
This was equivalent to shortening the four-day cycle of growth, blooming, and fruiting to one day. It was equivalent to shortening the cycle of one day's growth, one day's blooming, one day's fruiting, and one day's seeding.
It was reduced by four times!
Compared to the first Thousand Knot Flower, which had only been reduced by three times, it took twice as long.
Then, Qin Shaofeng found that when the first Thousand Knot Flower was growing for the second time, the original Deceleration Light was no longer effective. It needed to be used a second time.
After this discovery, Qin Shaofeng completely understood that the growth cycle of the Thousand Knot Flower was like a reincarnation. Even the permanent Deceleration Light could not affect it. However, if the Thousand Knot Flower was still in its initial seed state and used the Light of Deceleration, then from that moment on, the growth cycle of the Thousand Knot Flower would take much less time than that of a normal Thousand Knot Flower.
It would take a quarter of the original Thousand Knot Flower.
This time, Qin Shaofeng naturally knew which Thousand Knot Flower to cultivate.
Naturally, he chose the Thousand Knot Flower whose growth cycle was only a quarter of the normal Thousand Knot Flower's time. If he cultivated this Thousand Knot Flower, Qin Shaofeng would be three times faster than the others.
Others needed four days, but now Qin Shaofeng only needed one day, which was the longest he could do.
Most importantly, Qin Shaofeng could use the Deceleration Light of his Botany Technique to increase the speed of the Thousand Knot Flower.
Although Qin Shaofeng needed to use the Deceleration Light three times every time the Thousand Knot Flower grew, regardless of whether it was the Deceleration Light or the Deceleration Light, it did not consume any of Qin Shaofeng's energy. It would not be a problem for him to use it many times.
Therefore, under the astonished gazes of countless people, the Thousand Knot Flower in front of Qin Shaofeng was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was natural. Three uses of the Deceleration Light could increase the speed of the Thousand Knot Flower by 30 times.
Under such a blessing, the Thousand Knot Flower, which took one month to grow, one month to bloom, one month to bear fruit, and one month to become a seed, would only need one day to complete this process.
Time passed quickly in the arena. In less than a month, the Thousand Knot Flower cultivated by Qin Shaofeng had become a Ten Knot Flower.
This kind of speed was far ahead of the others. Most importantly, this kind of lead was still expanding.
Faced with such a situation, Prince Ling and the Qilin Young Master were anxious.
The first one who could not hold back was Prince Ling. This was because Prince Ling knew that if this situation continued, the first place would belong to Qin Shaofeng.
This would not do. Although he was in the lead, he only had three points more than Qin Shaofeng.
If Qin Shaofeng won the first place again, he would only have a two-point lead.
In the face of such a situation, how could Prince Ling not be anxious?
Therefore, at this moment, Prince Ling finally made a decision.
"Forget it, I'll go all out!"
In the end, Prince Ling's eyes flashed fiercely. Then, he no longer had any scruples and directly activated his perfect Holy Spirit Body.
Buzz!
In the next moment, Prince Ling's body emitted bursts of multicolored light. Then, under the illumination of this light, the five Thousand Knot Flowers around him began to grow frantically.
Furthermore, it didn't take long for the five Thousand Jointed Flowers to catch up to Qin Shaofeng's Thousand Jointed Flower. In fact, they quickly surpassed it.
Coincidentally, when Prince Ling made his move, the Qilin Young Master also made his move.
At this moment, he activated the power of his bloodline, causing the auspicious light emitted from his body to become even more intense.
As the auspicious light became more intense, the five Thousand Knot Flowers around the Qilin Young Master also grew frantically. Although the speed was not as fast as Prince Ling's, it was not bad either.
In the end, after Prince Ling caught up with Qin Shaofeng, the Qilin Young Master also caught up with Qin Shaofeng.
However, Qin Shaofeng did not care about what Prince Ling and the Qilin Young Master had done.
This was because Qin Shaofeng knew very well that whether it was Prince Ling's Holy Spirit Body or the Qilin Young Master's auspicious light, they would not be able to withstand it completely.
Well, to put it simply, their endurance was not good enough!
Qin Shaofeng, on the other hand, was different. He could maintain this state forever.
This was because whether it was the Light of Deceleration or the Light of Acceleration, Qin Shaofeng could continue to use them. There was no need for him to care at all.
His endurance was great!
Sure enough, under such circumstances, Prince Ling and the Qilin Young Master could only maintain it for a year before they could no longer withstand it. Then, the growth of the Thousand Knot Flowers returned to normal.
However, Qin Shaofeng still maintained the same speed. When Prince Ling and the Qilin Young Master were resting, he caught up with them again.
However, before long, Prince Ling and the Qilin Young Master seemed to have recovered. Then, they burst out again.
Then, this scene happened in the entire arena. It was either one person chasing after two people, or two people chasing after one person.
However, this was not accurate.
This was because from the beginning to the end, Qin Shaofeng did not chase after anything. He just maintained the same speed as before.
In the end, in the last ten years of the competition.
At this time, whether it was Qin Shaofeng, Prince Ling, or the Qilin Young Master, they had cultivated the Thousand Knot Flowers to more than three hundred segments.
Qin Shaofeng's Thousand Knot Flowers were slightly ahead. It was already at three hundred and twenty-seven segments, followed by Prince Ling's three hundred and twenty-five segments, and finally, the Qilin Young Master's three hundred and twenty-three segments.
As if he felt that it was the final critical moment, Prince Ling seemed to want to make a last effort to catch up with Qin Shaofeng and even widen the distance between them.
Therefore, at this moment, he actually activated a part of his Blood Essence to activate his Holy Spirit Body. Countless dazzling rays of light burst out.
Then, the Thousand Knot Flowers in front of him grew crazily.
However, what made people even more surprised was the Qilin Young Master's means. He cut his own wrist and watered the Thousand Knot Flowers with his own Qilin blood.
Alright!
This time, they could not compete anymore!
Everyone knew how terrifying the blood of a Divine Beast was. Watering the flower with the blood of a Divine Beast Qilin was completely cheating!
Seeing this, even Prince Ling's mouth twitched.
"Damn, this Qilin Young Master is really ruthless. Forget it, I don't want the first place. I just want to be better than Qin Shaofeng and get the second place!"
In the end, Prince Ling directly gave up the fight for the first place because of the Qilin Young Master's actions. He planned to get the second place.
However, he soon realized that the second place was an extravagant hope for him.
At this time, he subconsciously glanced at Qin Shaofeng and realized that the Thousand Knot Flowers in front of Qin Shaofeng were increasing in number at a speed visible to the naked eye!
