Xuan Long stared at him curiously.
At first, there was no movement from the Heavenly Stars Flower. After a while, it slowly melted and shrunk bit by bit, as if it was being evaporated by the sun. Finally, it completely disappeared.
Chu Li suddenly opened his eyes.
Xuan Long's eyes flashed like lightning, causing him to jump in fright.
The smile on Chu Li's face grew wider and wider.
"Haha …" Chu Li laughed heartily.
Xuan Long looked at him in confusion, wondering if he had gone mad. His dragon claw gently pressed on Chu Li's shoulder, feeling his joy.
Chu Li felt strange. The void in his mind suddenly expanded and felt empty. It was as if everything was under his control and he was omniscient and omnipotent.
He knew that this was the result of the increase in his mental power. The might of this Heavenly Stars Flower was indeed as strong as the legends said. It could even match up to the third level of his Great Sun Lotus Transformation Scripture.
Xuan Long wanted to continue to bring him to look for rare flowers and herbs, but Chu Li shook his head. What he meant by "enough" was that he needed to take a break for now.
He had to look at the Record of Exotic Flowers and Rare Herbs first before following it to search for it. Otherwise, even if he saw it, it would be useless and he wouldn't know what to do with it. He hated this feeling the most.
The Black Dragon unwillingly let go of the dragon claw. With a low roar, it soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Chu Li smiled and waved his hand.
He could come and find the Xuan Dragon at any time. As long as he was in this area, the Xuan Dragon would be able to sense him. This was the Xuan Dragon's divine ability. Spiritual beasts naturally had their own unique advantages.
He left behind two flowers and plucked the rest before disappearing in a flash and returning to the small courtyard.
Jingxue was sitting by the stone table in the courtyard, circulating her cultivation. She opened her eyes when she heard the sound.
Chu Li gently flicked a Star Flower onto her Baihui. He smiled and said, "Hold on, close your eyes."
Jingxue closed her eyes.
Chu Li said, "Calm your mind and focus your energy to sense this flower. This is the Star Flower."
"Heavenly Stars Flower?" Jingxue opened her eyes and said in surprise, "You actually found the Heavenly Stars Flower?"
She had seen many records of exotic flowers and herbs, so she had a photographic memory. She immediately recalled the information on the Stars Flower.
The Heavenly Stars Flower was not the most powerful flower, but it was the most difficult to find. Not only was it rare, but it also grew in the vast ocean, so finding it depended entirely on luck.
Chu Li said, "Mysterious Dragon is here to help."
"It?" Jingxue was increasingly curious.
Chu Li told her what had happened, causing Jing Xue to gasp in admiration.
"Let's just focus on absorbing the Star Flower first." Chu Li smiled.
As he spoke, a Heavenly Stars Flower floated to his Baihui acupoint, and then he closed his eyes.
Jingxue also closed her eyes.
The courtyard quieted down.
An hour later, both of them opened their eyes. Jingxue's eyes flickered like cold stars. She said softly, "What a heavenly stars flower. It's extraordinary."
Another Heavenly Stars Flower floated into her Baihui acupoint.
Jingxue closed her eyes and absorbed the heavenly stars flower again.
Chu Li felt that the effects of the Star Flowers were very low this time. It seemed that using two flowers was already the limit. Any more would just be a waste. It was a pity.
The Heavenly Stars Flower's effect of increasing one's mental strength was extremely strong, comparable to cultivating for dozens of years.
An hour later, Jingxue opened her eyes again. The light in her eyes seemed tangible.
"There will be great merit this time," Jingxue praised, "With the help of the Mystic Dragon, it will not be difficult to find rare flowers and herbs. This is a great opportunity."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Jingxue said, "I'll go find Master's Junior."
She floated away and returned a moment later with Su Xin. Su Xin was beaming.
The lotus pond was filled with lotus flowers again. Then, a Golden Lotus of Merit formed and entered Chu Li's mouth. When Chu Li opened his eyes, he had reached the ninth level of the Sun Lotus Scripture and was almost completed.
This included the power of merit, as well as the Heavenly Stars Flower.
Luo Yu City
Luo Yu City was livelier at night than during the day. The bustling streets were filled with people coming and going, and the noise was endless. Rows of lanterns hung in the streets and alleys, illuminating Luo Yu City as if it was daytime.
Chu Li and Jingxue floated down the streets, weaving through them like fishes. They did not touch anyone in the dense crowd, but the people around them did not notice anything strange.
"Is it really here?" Jingxue asked softly.
Chu Li nodded. "It can't be wrong. She's really bold, and her actions are strange."
"The great Phoenix Maiden." Jingxue shook her head. "But she likes to sell wontons on the streets. How strange."
Chu Li said, "Maybe she wants to comprehend the heart of the mundane."
"Hmm, that's true." Jingxue thought about it and nodded slowly.
She could not think of a reason why Shen Xing would turn into an old woman to sell wontons. It was too strange.
Shen Xing was a proud daughter of Heaven, the top figure of the Zenith Sect's younger generation. Everywhere she went, people looked up to her. Why would she like to sell wontons on the bustling streets?
The two quickly came to a wonton stall and stood in front of the old woman who was cooking it.
The old woman was nimble. Her white hair made her look unusually old, and her face was full of wrinkles. But one could still see her beauty when she was young.
This was a beauty ravaged by time. She was past her prime and had a miserable appearance.
The old woman looked up at the two and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to eat wontons? Sit down and wait. It will be ready soon. It's thin-skinned and filled with wontons. I guarantee you will want to come again! "
Chu Li smiled. "Miss Shen, why play dumb when old friends meet?"
The old woman frowned at him. "Young man, why do you say that? I'm old, and my memory is not good. Have we met before? "
"Miss Shen, you are going to play dumb to the end." Chu Li shook his head and laughed.
Jingxue stared at her, wanting to find a flaw. But she could not see anything from her expression. Coupled with her completely different appearance, she was inexplicably hesitant.
Her intuition did not sense any danger from the old woman. But when she thought of how Shen Xing had deceived her intuition, she did not dare to believe her intuition.
Her face darkened. This kind of doubt towards intuition was a fatal blow.
The old woman frowned. "Young man, I am muddle-headed. Please remind me. Don't blame me if I am rude."
"Ah …" Chu Li turned to look at Jingxue.
Jingxue frowned. "Is it really her?"
Her suspicious gaze moved back and forth on the old woman. She was hesitant.
Chu Li nodded slowly. "Miss Shen, please excuse me!"
He slammed his palm at the old woman's chest.
Bam! The old woman immediately flew backward and spat out a mouthful of blood in the air. Then, she knocked over the wonton stall. The small tables and stools beside her fell to the ground.
"Ah!" a few people who were eating the wontons cried out.
Chu Li frowned at the old woman who was spitting out blood.
The old woman fell to the ground. She raised her arm with difficulty and pointed at him. Then, her eyes quickly dimmed. Then, her arm fell to the ground, motionless. She was dead.
Jingxue walked over with a frown and was on guard.
Chu Li shook his head and laughed.
"Murder!" the surrounding people cried out.
Then, there was the sound of air being torn apart. Four young men in black shot over and landed from the sky. They surrounded Chu Li and Jingxue and glared at them.
Another two young men in black landed and crouched down to examine the old woman's injuries. They stood up and shook their heads. "Dead!"
"You killed her?!" a burly young man asked Chu Li in a low voice.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
