"Flower of Desire!"
Jiu Muli was unable to calm down, the surprise that the glazed palace lamp gave her was just too much, surpassing her imagination.
She thought of the Feng Lanxin who had risked his life to protect her and wanted to take revenge for her, the woman who she was familiar with yet was also unfamiliar with, and the woman who, with just a glance, was killed by Jiu Xuanhua.
Mother.
That familiar yet foreign name made her accept the memory of Feng Lanxin. That unwillingness to part from him before he died had always filled her heart with sorrow.
Feng Lanxin's cultivation could not compare to Jiu Xuanhua's, but for her, even though he knew he was no match, he still did not turn back.
That scene had long been deeply engraved in her heart, making her unable to forget it no matter how hard she tried.
Looking at the golden lotus flower inside the glazed palace lamp, she was really excited in her heart. The only wish she had right now was to revive Feng Lanxin.
As for raising her cultivation base and acquiring treasures, they were both unimportant. She only had one chance, and she didn't want to feel regretful about them.
"I hope this wish can be realized."
Jiu Muli's heart was moved, her thoughts churning, suddenly she felt that the golden lotus was extremely beautiful, to the point that she could not bear to look away from it.
"Ding ding ding."
A faint voice came from the glazed palace lamp, as if it was telling him something.
Jiu Muli's heart became complicated, he laughed: "Alright, alright, I know you are powerful, be good, I love you the most."
The glazed palace lamp actually knew how to act coquettishly, which made her at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
At the same time, she knew that this Flower of Desire could naturally absorb the desires of the people of the world and release them. However, it had not fully matured yet.
"No matter what, I must revive my mother."
Jiu Muli had made her decision in her heart, she only had this one chance, if she missed it, she did not know whether or not she could have another chance in the future. Her familiar and unfamiliar father was currently in a life and death situation, but at least there was hope, but Feng Lanxin was something she could not hope to find, and she could only rely on Flower of Desire.
Although Flower of Desire s were extremely precious and could perhaps fulfil her higher requirements, she did not want to leave behind any regrets and let herself keep the heart demon, a world of cultivators self-serving. However, she, Jiu Muli, was unable to do so.
Exiting from the glazed palace lamp's space, Jiu Muli's heart was filled with gratitude as he looked at the mermaid in front of him.
"Thank you. This gift is too valuable and very important to me."
Jiu Muli respectfully thanked the mermaid. This gift was truly valuable, she was very clear on the amount of energy required to make the Flower of Desire blossom. Just taking that plant heart as an example, its value was already not low, but in the end, it was only worth about half of the second lotus flower's value.
"You are too polite, this is what I should do. I have said it before, our Merfolk will definitely repay this kindness. Furthermore, I can feel the kindness in your heart."
The mermaid's smile was still as innocent as ever, and her voice was as pleasant to listen to as singing. As she spoke, she even moved closer to Jiu Muli in a very intimate manner.
"Did Meng Rou'er, who was chasing you down a while ago, also chase you down for the sake of this human fish's tears?" Jiu Muli asked.
The mermaid glanced at Qin Zheng at the side with some hesitation, but in the end, she nodded and said, "Yes, but I am not willing to give it to her. She has too much evil intentions, so she wants to kill me and take my heart.
"No wonder, but it's better now."
Jiu Muli laughed, thinking that looking for the Exotic Flame was like looking for a needle in a haystack, he asked probingly: "Have you heard of the Exotic Flame? Do you know where it is? "
"Exotic Flame?"
The Mermaid frowned and thought deeply. She asked uncertainly: "You mean the kind of Exotic Flame that the alchemist can absorb?"
"Yes, you've heard of it?"
Jiu Muli was a little surprised, the Mermaid's cultivation was not high, he did not expect her to know of such a secret, it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to know of the Exotic Flame, even if there was, it would quickly be snatched away.
There were too many cultivators. Even if there was only one alchemist genius out of ten thousand people, it was not a small number. Therefore, there were very few Exotic Flame.
"I seem to have heard of it somewhere before. Wait a moment, let me ask."
As the Mermaid spoke, she closed her eyes and let out a heavenly melody. It sank into the sea and disappeared with the waves.
"Are you talking to someone?" Seeing this, Jiu Muli was surprised.
The mermaid nodded and kept quiet, as though she was communicating with her heart. Seeing this, Jiu Muli did not disturb her.
After a long while, the Mermaid opened her eyes and said tiredly, "I've asked."
"How amazing."
"It's nothing. This is the talent of our Merfolk. We can communicate with our own race, and anyone who is in the sea will be able to hear it."
With that, the mermaid laughed: "I know about the news about the Exotic Flame, it is located in the First Island, although it is very secretive, but our mermaid race can hear the voices of everyone in the ocean, there are people from our race who have heard it, but that Exotic Flame has yet to be obtained, it is very difficult to obtain it."
The mermaid saw Jiu Muli's surprise and explained.
"Then what happened?"
"In the First Island, there is an inheritance site, there are Exotic Flame, it's just that only cultivators from the Sea of Nine Serenities can enter there, outsiders are not allowed to enter, from what I see, you are not a cultivator from the Sea of Nine Serenities, and might be in trouble."
The mermaid said, feeling a little worried. Because the cultivators of Sea of Nine Serenities were infected with the aura of the Sea of Nine Serenities, they carried the aura of death with them, making them easy to recognize.
Jiu Muli frowned, he thought for a moment, then laughed: "It's fine, don't worry, I won't barge in, but why haven't the Sea of Nine Serenities cultivators been taken away for so long?"
"The inheritance grounds are opened once every three years, and there is a restriction to one's cultivation base. If one's cultivation is too low, they cannot enter, and if one's cultivation is too low, they cannot go near it. Thus, they have always been stored inside."
The Mermaid had received the information carefully. She added on, "But there are still about ten days before the opening of the Underground of Legacy. You want to go?"
"For the time being, I'm not certain. After all, my cultivation is not sufficient either."
Jiu Muli was in a difficult situation, she was not sure what kind of situation she would encounter, and could only wait to see what Qin Zheng's intentions were. Thinking about it, she could not help but ask the mermaid, where the First Island was.
"First Island is very easy to find, go directly south, the biggest island is it, it's very conspicuous."
The mermaid said, apologizing, "My apologies, my people are here to fetch me. I'm leaving."
"Ah, really?"
Jiu Muli was shocked, then laughed: Then you have to leave quickly, you're too weak, next time don't go wandering around.
"Mm, thank you."
As the mermaid spoke, she transformed into a ray of light and dove into the sea, riding on the waves as she left gradually. From afar, Jiu Muli could even see the beautiful water line and the mermaids waving continuously as they said their goodbyes.
"Take care."
Jiu Muli thought in her heart, and suddenly felt that she was unwilling to part with him. This was the first time she had met such an extraordinary mermaid ever since she entered this world.
It wasn't that her appearance was different from others, but that her opponent was pure and kind, just like people in her previous life. It made her feel very close to him.
In the world of cultivators, fighting and killing was normal, no matter who it was, they would always be full of cunning, which made her feel really disgusted, but she had no choice. She was worried that one day, she would also become a cold and emotionless cultivator, and only an existence like the mermaid would remind her that she was still the Jiu Muli from before.
After the Mermaid left, the unknown island returned to its tranquil state.
Jiu Muli, on the other hand, was stuck in a dilemma. She wanted to obtain the Exotic Flame urgently, but looking at it now, it would probably not be so easy to sneak into the First Island. An inheritance place, one did not even need to think to know how valuable it was, the spots would definitely be extremely precious.
But just as Jiu Muli was hesitating, he heard Qin Zheng say in a cold voice, "Go, let's go to First Island."
"If we really do go, I'm afraid we won't be welcome."
"So what?!"
Qin Zheng coldly glanced at Jiu Muli and said: "If I want to go, they won't dare to object."
Those who had disagreed with him in the past were all dead.
Jiu Muli was speechless, she did not want to use too much of Qin Zheng's strength, so she could only rely on herself, causing her cultivation to be unable to progress.
Without wasting any time, the two of them quickly left. Jiu Muli allowed Qin Zheng to lead the way as they rushed in the direction of the First Island.
The First Island was very far away from where he currently was. If one were to talk about seeing a dead horse on the mountain, the First Island and the rest had been flying for four hours and they had not even seen a shadow of him.
However, when the cultivators sensed Qin Zheng's Qi, their faces all changed, and did not dare to take the initiative to provoke him.
Seeing that the sky was dark, Qin Zheng did not continue to travel, but found a deserted island, and landed at the beach. Qin Zheng quietly trained at the side, obviously the journey had consumed a lot of energy.
After Jiu Muli saw this, he did not say much and draped a few branches over his shoulders and started a bonfire.
The scarlet red fire rose, illuminating the surrounding thirty meters of land. It also allowed their line of sight to return to light, allowing Jiu Muli to feel at ease.
After getting used to Qin Zheng's taciturn attitude, Jiu Muli did not chat with him anymore. Instead, he quietly gazed into the distance, his mind a little distant.
The night sky of the Sea of Nine Serenities was just like the night sky of the Qin Kingdom, bright and resplendent twelve Star River soared high up into the sky, speckling with twinkling stars, just like a mischievous elf. Only, from here, it looked even clearer than the night sky of the Jiuhua Hall, because the sky was clearer than that place.
Other than this, what surprised Jiu Muli the most was the endless ocean. Even though it was pitch black at the moment, there were still specks of light floating on the surface of the sea from time to time.
"Is it a glowing fish, or a Siren, or a Cultivator?"
Jiu Muli was unable to determine that, but those specks of light were like fireflies in the dark night, distinct and dotted on the vast ocean surface, causing the Sea of Nine Serenities s at night to look like black amber that glowed with light, making them seem even more magnificent.
