The Devious Burial Flower was one of the most mysterious and strange flowers in the world. Since the beginning of time, it has only appeared a few times. It was known as one of the rarest treasures in the world. Even the legendary spiritual medicine cannot compare to it in terms of rarity.
As for its name, it was unknown to the world. Even in the entire world, there were very few people who could recognize it.
This was why when the Essence of Herbalism gave him the information, Ling Xian's expression changed drastically. He didn't think it would be such a shocking flower.
"The Devious Burial Flower?"
Hearing Ling Xian's exclamation, everyone frowned and began to ponder. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they searched through their memories, they couldn't recall anything related to this flower.
In other words, they have never heard of this flower.
This was normal. The Devious Burial Flower was something even rarer than spiritual medicine. Since the beginning of time, it has only appeared a few times and the number of people who have seen it can be counted on one's fingers. As for the records left behind in ancient books, it was even less. Even if there was, it was only a few words.
"That's right, it is the Devious Burial Flower. I bet you are all unfamiliar with this name, so you don't believe me." Ling Xian nodded and guessed what everyone was thinking.
Hearing this, everyone's face flashed with awkwardness. They truly didn't believe Ling Xian and thought he was just making up a name.
"It's okay, I understand." Ling Xian smiled, expressing that he understood.
What could they do? The Devious Burial Flower was far too rare. So rare that in the entire Taoism community, less than five people know about it!
Therefore, everyone naturally didn't believe him and felt like he was making things up.
They didn't know that Ling Xian had the Essence of Herbalism and had the ability to know all spiritual medicines in the world. No matter how rare the Devious Burial Flower is, no matter how unknown it is, he could learn everything about it through the Essence of Herbalism!
This was the reason why he dared to speak so arrogantly!
Even though the Devious Burial Flower has no rank, it was still a spiritual medicine. As long as it belongs to the category of spiritual medicine, then it cannot escape the Essence of Herbalism's control!
"How about this, I will tell you about the effects of this flower. You can compare it to the characteristics of the flowers passed down by your ancestors and see if I am right." Ling Xian grinned, his handsome face was full of confidence and calmness.
Perhaps he was infected by Xian Xian's confidence, the grey haired elder had some anticipation. He nodded, "Master Xian, please speak."
"The Devious Burial Flower has no grade. It is neither a Divine Herb nor an Immortal Herb. However, its miraculous effects are extremely powerful, causing any cultivator in the world to both love and hate it. " Ling Xian softly sighed, "If I am not wrong, this flower is missing half, and that half is white."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.
Everyone first questioned Nan Gong Ru with their gazes. After he shook his head, everyone shifted their gaze onto Ling Xian with disbelief.
Because Ling Xian was right. According to the ancient records of the Nan Gong Clan, the flower's original appearance was one white and one black. However, the white half was consumed by the Nangong family's ancestor.
"Master Xian … how … how did you know about this?" The grey-haired elder's face was full of shock as he asked in a trembling voice.
"I told you, I know everything about this flower." Ling Xian smiled confidently.
Instantly, everyone was once again in awe. All eyes were now on Ling Xian. There was no longer any doubt. Instead, there was shock and excitement.
"Let's first talk about the effects of the Devious Burial Flower. The reason why I said this flower is loved and hated is because it has two effects. The white half represents God. Even if an ordinary person without any talent in cultivation consumes it, they will instantly break through to the completion level and be reborn. From a handicap, they will turn into a genius. "
Ling Xian exclaimed. If the Essence of Herbalism wasn't wrong, he wouldn't have believed such a heaven-defying item existed in this world.
Gasp!
Everyone gasped. If one consumes the white half of the flower, one can instantly break through to the completion level. What kind of insane effect was this?
Very quickly, however, everyone's shock was replaced by excitement. Because the ancestor of the Nan Gong Clan had broken through to the completion level in one night!
This meant Ling Xian truly understood this flower. Therefore, why wouldn't everyone be excited?
"Unfortunately, the second effect of this flower makes people hate it to the bone." Ling Xian softly sighed, "The black half represents a demon. It can kill a powerhouse in an instant and turn into a curse that haunts the descendants of those who consumed the white flower. I think back then, Elder Nan Gong didn't understand the effect of the flower and mistakenly consumed the white half. "
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. But very quickly, they revealed a look of confusion.
"But, the ancestor only consumed the white half. He didn't consume the black half." The grey haired elder was suspicious.
"This is the origin of the term 'Devious Burial Flower'. To be buried together means to be buried together. No matter which half is consumed, the other half's effect will affect the person who consumes it. The only difference is which effect takes effect first. "Ling Xian whispered.
"I see."
Everyone revealed a look of realization. They finally understood why the ancestor suddenly rose up and why he mysteriously disappeared.
"Master Xian, since you know so much about the Devious Burial Flower, then I wonder if you have a solution?" The grey haired elder's eyes were full of hope as he asked this crucial question.
Hearing this, everyone stared at Ling Xian, full of desire.
Against everyone's expectant gaze, Ling Xian revealed a confident smile, "Of course I have a solution. I happen to know of one, but …"
"But what? No matter how difficult it is, just tell me! "The grey haired elder's face was full of excitement. Even his body was shaking.
Everyone else reacted the same way. This curse has troubled the Nan Gong Clan for thousands of years and has tortured every single generation of descendants. This was especially true for people like them who were almost 300 years old. The feeling of counting down the days until their death could be said to be extremely painful. Now that they heard Ling Xian has a solution, why wouldn't they be excited?
"I need this Devious Burial Flower. Only by using it as a catalyst and using other medicines can we lift the curse." Ling Xian pointed at the black flower in midair.
"No problem!"
The grey haired elder didn't think twice and agreed right away.
Everyone else nodded quickly as well. If it weren't for the curse, they would've destroyed this flower a long time ago. Now that they heard Ling Xian say that the only way to lift the curse was to use it as a catalyst, they were naturally ecstatic. Why wouldn't they agree?
At everyone's agreement, Ling Xian was ecstatic. This was the extremely rare Devious Burial Flower. To everyone here, it was a lethal poison. But to him, it was a priceless treasure!
Therefore, he made up a lie to fool these people.
"Okay, if that's the case, then go and prepare some spiritual medicines." Ling Xian was very excited, but his expression remained calm. Then, before everyone's expectant gaze, he named more than 10 spiritual medicines.
Every single one of them was a rare spiritual medicine!
Reality was that to lift the curse of the Devious Burial Flower, he didn't need so many spiritual medicines. He definitely didn't need this half a flower. However, with such a great opportunity, if Ling Xian didn't extort some money, then he would've wasted his trip.
