The Immortality Flower
Desire Gorge

"Maybe I can drain my cold to him" Lou Shi said.

Lou Shi poured his cold air over to Lin Huang. The red flames that enveloped his body overflowed uncontrollably to the point that forming a terrifying face left Lou Shi shocked.

"Truely he has a curse" Lou Shi said.

Lou Shi looked at the surrounding dusty room including the goa floor. Lou Shi walked around looking around before he realized something. The footprints that he caused turned out to find clues that the floor of the cave holds something and not made of the same rock as the wall of the cave.

Lou Shi waved his hand making the thick dust on the floor of the cave blow clean. Floors made of bronze with strange carvings are clearly visible. Lin Huang suddenly moved to attack Lou Shi. Lin Huang's strength increased by leaps and bounds unexpectedly making Lou Shi shocked.

The punches and kicks Lin Huang shot focused on Lou shi's weak spot.

"Hit and kick are very accurate. He was controlled by something, "inner Lou Shi.

The root tendrils coming from various directions bound both Lin Huang's hands and feet. The root tendrils tightly bound Lin Huang so as not to spiral out of control.

Lou Shi took out a talisman paper giving his teacher a shot pasting on Lin Huang's body before being bounced off by Lin Huang's strength. Lou Shi coughed out fresh blood.

"Lorser... You won't be able to stop me. I've been living in her body for a long time,"

The bronze floor circle under Lin Huang opened slowly to make Lin Huang cry out in pain. Lou Shi was puzzled over Lin Huang who was shouting loudly when the bronze circle opened.

A green beam shot out from the floor of the bronze circle giving off a root tendril that had its own intelligence. One of the root tendrils observed Lin Huang before touching Lin Huang's forehead.

Lin Huang was pulled into the bottom of the goa floor. The bronze circle slowly closed making Lou Shi jump before it was too late.

Lin Huang's body was under a large green tree lying helplessly. Lou Shi who was seriously injured immediately healed himself.

The large tree surrounded by clear pond water released pure qi energy which made Lou Shi's healing faster than usual. Lou Shi's instincts said that the corner in front of him was a magical tree.

Lou Shi finished his meditation arranging the large pohok in front of him in awe as well as bewildered at the true state of Lin Huang.

"Lack of desire, I came here just to ask for strength. But fate says something else, my wish is not achieved" Lou Shi said.

The water suddenly floated to form a woman who had a beautiful face.

"Who are you?"ask Lou Shi.

"I am the owner of the tree of desire" said the woman.

"Why is my wish not fulfilled?"ask Lou Shi.

"Since you don't deserve my strength, you deserve more power than mine," the woman replied to Lou Shi's dissatisfied question.

"Your friend has been cursed since she was in her mother's womb. Lucky I suppressed the demon inside her body for a while," the woman said starting to explain what Lin Huang was going through.

"How did he get such a terrible curse?"ask Lou Shi.

"Someone has cursed himself cruelly. The curse of 4 black magicians. The curse called the curse of stillbirth can only be healed in one way"

"What's that?"ask Lou Shi.

"The flower of immortality," the woman answered made Lou Shi speechless

The flower of immortality was just a mere legend and Lou Shi knew that it was impossible to find the flower of immortality relying solely on the power of his own.

"He will live in death. His life was mortgaged by the curse that was within him. The potential power is so great that it is feared by all adherents of black magic"

"Who are his parents?"ask Lou Shi.

"You'll have to look for her yourself, she'll never remember her parents if you ask"

"When will the curse react again like before?"

"When pure holy energy was nearby. I am just a human being who has the power to live thousands of years and grant someone's request with a dose that is in accordance with the orders I get. I infused my holy energy into his heart suppressing the demon that was residing in his body. If he reacts again as before unexpectedly then you can use the talisman written by the Emperor's pen and the black water ink"

"Beyond the flood how can I get out?"ask Lou Shi.

"The craving gap has been designed to have a capable drainage system. The rainwater that is accommodated is flowed on small canals in each cave to cause the cave to feel cool but oxygen remains abundant because the tree of desire always spreads the energy of life"

The water outside the cave is slowly receding due to the open canals. Lin Huang slowly regained his senses and the woman who had previously spoken to Lou Shi disappeared when Lin Huang regained consciousness. Lin Huang was confused when he was in a place that was unfamiliar to him.

"We are at the bottom of the abyss of desire and are plunged here" Lou Shi said.

"There was. The water outside the cave has receded, we can leave now" Lou Shi said.

Lin Huang stood up staggeringly feeling the dizziness on his head.

"You okay?"ask Lou Shi.

Lou Shi led Lin Huang away from the abyss of desire.

"I'm fine," replied Lin Huang.

"Go to the temple, I have an urgent matter of not being able to deliver you," Lou Shi said leaving Lin Huang alone.

Lin Huang felt his head dizzy as he regained his senses. He did not particularly hear Lou Shi's remark, all he heard was Lou Shi telling him to go to the temple.

"He thinks I'm a demon so I need to be purified?"gerutu Lin Huang's.

The sound of bells resounded in the air, people immediately approached the temple. Old monk begins to lead the cult. Lin Huang came here just because he idly did not know where to go, seeing the monk leading the worship ceremony, he slipped into the room located a little far from the shrine.

Lin Huang opened the door to see a gold-plated Dragon God statue located in the middle of the room.

"The Dragon God Emperor's Adoration?"muttered Lin Huang.

The temple bells echoed quietly, the sky as if opening with light enveloping the entire temple. The crown of the luminous Dragon God statue dazzled Lin Huang's gaze.

Lin Huang felt a shock after the light dazzled his eyes. Lin Huang fell down under the Dragon God statue.

"Too far to fly" said Lin Huang.

The flow of qi energy felt thick under the Dragon God statue.

"This temple was built with the best fengshui I have ever seen" said Lin Huang exploring the tunnel under the Dragon God statue.

All sorts of piles of gold were strewn across the floor blinding the eyes of anyone who saw it.

The monk once again chanted a prayer making a tremor felt around Lin Huang.

"What's going on? Does this tunnel react when monks chant prayers?"thought Lin Huang astonished.

Lin Huang found a dusty book in a pile of gold that caught his attention. Clean up a little dust until you see the title.

"Flying Dragons Conquer the Sky"

Lin Huang wanted to try opening it but something stopped his efforts. Throw the book and drain its power open the book.

"I'm too weak," said Lin Huang disappointed.

Lin Huang kept the book on his clothes then meditated absorbing the abundant qi energy.

The monk found an open room looking at Lin Huang out of the back way of the Dragon God statue.

"What are you doing?"ask monk.

"I didn't do anything, I just went in and saw the crown shining on it until I fell down" replied Lin Huang.

A drop of water fell from the crown of the Dragon God onto Lin Huang's head.

"What's this?"asked Lin Huang.

"Eternal water from heaven" answered the monk.

"It is impossible for the water of heaven to be in the mortal realm," denied Lin Huang.

"Let's just say you get a blessing directly from the Dragon God" replied the monk.

"I go first" Lin Huang said farewell.

The smiling monk then turned into a pure white-clothed person staring at Lin Huang's departure.

"I am just one form of light"
