Phoenix Destroyer
32. Soul Flowers

There is a place to the west of Shicheng, named Shenyuan, which is very special to the surrounding area.

Shenyuan was a naturally formed abyss.

Everyone knew Shenyuan, because from the bottom of Shenyuan a voice like screams and cries came out almost every time. Making the newcomer cultivators feel uncomfortable.

Yet a year ago, someone cultivator was rumored to have reached the bottom of the abyss. The cultivator managed to climb back up, but then the cultivator went crazy after climbing up.

The cultivator said something incoherent. All about 'hells', 'monsters', and 'flowers'.

Some people speculate that there are monsters at the bottom of the ravine. Some argue that there are treasures down there that are guarded by monsters. Some say that there is a spiritual grass down there that comes from hell.

Some even say that at the bottom of the abyss, you can gain immortality.

All the news was mixed, half right and half wrong, but that did not deter people from continuing to explore. What if there really is a treasure down there? What if there is eternity down there?

For resources, they can do anything.

But after a year, none of these people found out what was going on down there. Then the commotion slowly subsided. Yet the events of one year ago are still much talked about, but most people have lost interest.

Now Feng Mo and Kong Li were next to Shenyuan.

Many cultivators came to Shenyuan almost every day. They brought some ropes and climbing equipment.

"It seems like we really can't use the spiritual energy below." Seeing the many cultivators carrying equipment, Kong Li who was still thinking about not being able to use spiritual energy, was stunned.

Feng Mo nodded.

For cultivators who were used to using spiritual energy at all times, suddenly they could not use spiritual energy, they would more or less feel uncomfortable even panic. But for the native Shicheng people, they have become familiar with Shenyuan characteristics.

Feng Mo and Kong Li left the Shenyuan area and walked the other way. Shicheng has no special resources, so it looks like a backward city.

There were no serious shops, only a few sellers set up stalls. However Feng Mo saw that many people were selling one type of spiritual grass the same.

Feng Mo had been aiming for that spiritual grass from the very beginning. But many people were selling them in uniforms, so Feng Mo did not know what to do.

Feng Mo looked at a cultivator selling spiritual grass of a higher level. And gestured to Kong Li.

Both approached the stall.

"How do you sell it?" Feng Mo pointed at the spiritual grass that was higher level than the others.

"5000 middle spirit stones."

Both dumbfounded.

"It's expensive!" Kong Li protested.

"Only low spiritual grass, you sell it at such a high price? 100 middle spirit stones."

"No! There is no offer!"

"Many people have the same price!"

The seller smirked in disgust. "If you don't want to buy it, you can find it yourself in Shenyuan!"

"But you sell it more expensive than anyone else!"

"Who cares!"

Feng Mo immediately stopped Kong Li, dragging him away from the stall.

When both were far enough away, they stopped.

"Is there anything special about that spiritual grass?" Kong Li's voice had returned to how it was. No one had seen how she acted before.

Feng Mo whispered, "That spiritual grass is called the Soul Flower. The Soul Flower only grew in a very yin place, and around the Soul Flower was a soul-eating caterpillar. This spiritual grass is very useful for soul growth. If you accidentally lose a piece of soul, as long as you eat the Soul Flower. Soul problems will be solved."

Kong Li stroked his chin. "What about someone else whose soul is intact?"

"They will make the soul more solid and not easy to seize the house. Those alchemists also needed solid soul power to create alchemy."

An idea flashed through Kong Li's mind. "If we sell it, won't we get a lot of spirit stones?" Although they still had hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, but one day their spirit stones would soon run out.

They had to think of another way to obtain spirit stones.

Feng Mo nodded. "Indeed, but if we sell it in the form of spiritual grass to the outside world, many people will notice it. We just have to sell it in pill form, in addition to hiding the source, we can sell it more expensive."

"Then we have to find the Soul Flower ourselves?"

Looks like it should be.

"But the Soul Flower that others sold didn't seem too good?"

"They're too low, maybe they're growing at Shenyuan's top. If we go downstairs, we might find a high-quality Soul Flower." Feng Mo speculated a bit.

"What about the rumor?" That there's a monster downstairs?

"Maybe that person met a soul-eating caterpillar? After all the monster lived by eating the Soul Flower." That cultivator probably ate his soul so it became stupid.

Kong Li thought that it was possible. He did not ask again and the two people immediately agreed.

The next day, Feng Mo and Kong Li bought equipment from a shop. And walk towards Shenyuan. It was still morning, not many cultivators gathered in Shenyuan.

But a group of people was still very conspicuous among the other cultivators.

"What the hell is going on?" Kong Li stopped a cultivator who was in a hurry to leave.

"Could you be newcomers?" Looking at the soft faces of the two, the man could not help but look again.

"Yes." Yeah." Kong Li admitted easily.

"Then you guys better be careful, the three-legged Eagle Gang is looking for trouble recently."

"Has anything like happened before?"

"Who knows? Come on, I'll go first."

The two looked at each other in confusion.

Kong Li asked, "How is this?"

"Go back first, ask who the three-legged Eagle Gang is."

Feng Mo and Kong Li quietly retreated from the Shenyuan area.

They found a tea shop to listen to the news.

"The Eagle Boss ordered the other cultivators to stay away from Shenyuan's safe area."

"What happened?"

"Nobody knows, they've been there since last night."

"What about our plan?"

"As long as you look elsewhere, the Three-legged Eagle Gang won't care about you."

"But other places are more dangerous."

"Well how else? You guys want to fight those gangsters?"

" ... " Nobody answered.

Kong Li glanced at Feng Mo and transmitted a voice. 'How? So leaving?'

'I want the Soul Flower.'

'Let's act somewhere else.'

Feng Mo nodded.

Shenyuan is naturally formed, so the rocks that arise on the cliff cannot be changed or destroyed.

Feng Mo and Kong Li were looking for a place that was still rough and strong ground.

Looking down the deep abyss, Kong Li suddenly recalled the experience of being dropped by a goddamn cousin, Kong Liu. "Do you think there's any treasure down there?"

"Nobody knows."

Feng Mo tied the end of the rope to a sturdy tree, then tied himself up. He also tied his long hair into a ponytail.

Kong Li followed Feng Mo, even he had changed his luxurious robe to be more casual.

The two slowly descended into the abyss.

Up to several hundred meters down, Feng Mo slowly realized that the spiritual energy within his body had been sealed. A hint of discomfort was swept away when he saw some Soul Flowers growing on the cliff.

"Xiaomo, I found the Soul Flower!" Kong Li's voice was a little excited.

"On this side too."

"How's the quality?"

"This Soul Flower is better than the ones sold in those stalls."

"Let's collect!"

Both of them moved quickly, gathering all the Soul Flowers they could reach. Then keep looking elsewhere.

When they are tired of hanging, they will go up to rest.

Over the course of several days, the two collected many medium-level Soul Flowers. Down further down, it was still possible to find a Soul Flower of a higher Level.

Feng Mo took the time to refine the Soul Flower into a magic pill. The pill was in the shape of a white ball that glittered under the sun.

"Brother Li, your part."

"Thank you Xiaomo!"

Kong Li immediately stored the pills carefully. Just like Qi Yuzhi, he wanted to stockpile all the magic pills given by Feng Mo.

"I kissed her from this direction!"

Someone's voice suddenly startled Feng Mo.Immediately Feng Mo put away the alchemy furnace and pulled Kong Li into hiding.

Both held their breath and lowered their sense of existence.

A group of people emerged from behind the trees.

The leader of the group saw the signs of residence, and saw no one. He spread his spiritual senses, finding out if there were others around here.

"Are you sure you smell the magic pill from here?"

The henchman nodded. "Yes-yes! I kissed her! No less than five times. It smells like an adult!"

Others approach the leader. "Boss, do you think someone perfected the flower?" He frowned. "But if there's an alchemist who comes to Shicheng, won't our people be the first to know?"

The boss also pouted. "Nobody's here."

Other people look at each other. Their boss was the most highly cultivated, if the Boss even said there was no one else, then that meant people had left.

"Let's go, prioritize looking for that flower. Whether others are alchemists or not, it has nothing to do with us."

"But Boss, if Xiaojia finds out our lies?" That the flower is useless at all.

Boss squinted. "Then don't let anyone open his mouth for me."

After that group of people finally left, Feng Mo and Kong Li came out from hiding.

"Aren't those people from the Three-legged Eagle Gang?"

Feng Mo nodded. "It looks like they're looking for the Soul Flower because they want to heal someone."

Kong Li folded both his hands. "I wonder who else knows the Soul Flower's ability." Hearing the conversation earlier, it seemed like the person who ordered the three-legged Eagle Guild did not tell them the benefits of the Soul Flower.

"Come, follow them."

The two looked at each other. Quietly agreed.

Feng Mo and Kong Li returned to Shicheng from the other direction. With a hiding talisman, the two walked to the basecamp of the Eagle Gang that they had known from others.

Actually the three-legged Eagle Gang basecamp is only a temporary residence, they have their own fort outside of Shicheng.

Feng Mo and Kong Li climbed the wall at night.

The cultivation of most gang members was more or less at Jindan level down. Only the Bosses the two saw had a Yuanying cultivation base.

Basecamp was very quiet and quiet. Maybe some people are overconfident, not even people are keeping security.

Feng Mo and Kong Li quietly went around and searched for targets.

"People from Xiaojia will be coming soon, they are still carrying a high-level alchemist."

Feng Mo hinted Kong Li to get closer to a room.

"Are they still going to pay us?"

"Hum! Better not kill us! do you know the cruelty of the people from the big families? Our lives are not as big as ants!"

"Then what should we do?"

"Find the flowers as much as possible! "

"But— but we have sacrificed many members! The monsters don't make sense! We can't kill him at all!"

Kong Li's eyes twinkled. The monster!

The boss was silent.

"Or let the people of Xiaojia do it themselves, however they want the flower."

"We only want spirit stones, but we pay too much!"

The boss seemed to be starting to get persuaded by the words of his members.

"At least we collect as many flowers as possible until they arrive." So they can make excuses.

Seeing the Boss' compromise, the member was very pleased. "I'll bring some people to collect it immediately!"

Then the member left the Boss alone.

Feng Mo suddenly took out a pill from the storage area. Destroy it and sprinkle it into the room.

The brooding boss suddenly felt an incredible drowsiness. He sensed something was amiss, but before he could react, his body had fallen down.

Feng Mo and Kong Li came out from hiding.

Feng Mo approached the Eagle Gang Boss to ascertain if he was truly unconscious.

"Where do we look for information?"

"I'll set up an illusionary formation and let it take out everything in its mind."

"okay."

Feng Mo took out a formation flag and set up a formation inside the room. It didn't take long before Feng Mo took back the formation.

Both of them lifted the Boss' body onto the bed and left.

They came secretly and left secretly as well.
