Chapter 561 The Secret of the Lost Bead
  The Flower Witch did not obey Fang Dushu's instructions.

She said bluntly: "We had conflicts before. You thought I had bad intentions. Once I leave the flower wall, I might be harmed by you. Even if you don't harm me, you will definitely imprison me, so please forgive me for not obeying your orders!" "

Fang Dushu seemed to have expected such a reaction from her, so he reminded her: "Your sword wound is not a trivial matter. Without me to treat it for you, you will not be able to reattach your broken arm!"

This sentence made the Flower Witch hesitate.

She had tried many methods to reattach her right arm, but to no avail.

Even if she uses jade glue and elephant blood, it won't work. The elephant blood she collected is ten thousand years of spiritual glue. Even if the body is beaten to pieces, it can be restored to its original state, but it has no effect on sword wounds.

Moreover, as long as she circulates the magic power in her body, it will flow uncontrollably to the wound on her shoulder, and then disappear without a trace. This sword wound is like a spell, suppressing her in disguise, so that she will not be able to continue to improve her cultivation in the future.

She heard that Fang Dushu could heal sword wounds, and she believed Fang Dushu's words in her heart. After all, the person who tied the bell had to be tied to untie the bell: "If you are willing to teach me the method of reattaching a broken arm first, I will leave after my injury is healed." Huaqiang will open the entrance to the Black River for you, and then help you salvage the Xia Dan and the stream-cutting branches!"

Fang Dushu slowly shook his head: "Only you know the entrance to the Heihe River. If I treat you and you enter the entrance alone, wouldn't I be in trouble? You first help me find the Juxia Pill and the Intercepting Branch. , as long as I find it, I will give you an arm immediately!"

The two did not trust each other and did not compromise with each other.

The atmosphere quickly became tense.

Fang Dushu took a few steps forward, raised his hand and patted the wall, warning: "The defense of this flower wall is very strong. Maybe I can't break it, but I can let the magic penetrate in and destroy your body. You Do you really want me to do this?”

The Flower Witch was calm and composed: "I'm afraid you don't have the ability to destroy me! Each petal of this black peony is an independent space. I can travel between many spaces for refuge. Even if your magic power can penetrate it, it will not be hurt. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try!”

What she said was not false.

Since she was born, she has been hiding in the flower wall and dealing with the relic heart ape. The mind ape has a higher level of cultivation than Fang Dushu, but it has never been able to force her to leave the flower wall.

She can hide in the flower wall for more than a hundred years, which shows the high defense of the flower wall.

However, the Relic Heart Ape is just a demon spirit, and it works alone, so not being able to catch her is not an abnormality.

But Fang Dushu was different.

If Fang Dushu invites dozens of monks of the same rank to cast spells on Black Peony, the Witch of Hundred Flowers will be unable to escape and will be shocked to death within the flower wall sooner or later.

Considering this possibility, the Witch of Flowers added: "I am just a grain of pollen. Life or death does not matter. Even if you can kill me, there will be new Witches of Flowers born in the future. They will inherit my memory and find Juxia." Dan and Jieliuzhi, but you can’t even think of getting these two treasures!”

Her implication was that if Fang Dushu killed her, the entrance to the Black River would be sealed forever, and at least during Fang Dushu's lifetime, there would be no way to find a way to Kun-Lai Island.

In the memory she inherited, Jianhua Cave was a sealed barrier. Except for the previous Baihua Witch and Jade Elephant, no monks had ever left the cave.

She regarded Fang Dushu as a native of Dongtian, and believed that without her help, Fang Dushu would be trapped and die in Dongtian.

But what she didn't know was that Fang Dushu came from the outside world. Even without her providing an entrance, he could still find the whereabouts of Kun-Lai Island and Heihe, but it would just take an extra detour.

"I have seen many heaven and earth spiritual roots similar to black peonies. They can all hatch creatures like you, but there are prerequisites for hatching. They must be alive, and the spiritual roots must be alive!"

Fang Dushu pointed at the peony stamens nearby and deduced: "This black peony has a strong death aura and must have been dead for a long time. A flower corpse alone will definitely not be able to warm the pollen. If you want to incubate the pollen for psychics, you must Do you need other things to supplement your flower power?"

These words seemed to hit the nail on the head.

The look of the Flower Witch gradually changed, her heartbeat quickened, and she barely maintained her composure: "Black Peony is the king of spiritual roots. Even if it turns into a flower corpse, it is not comparable to other spiritual roots. It has many ways to do it. Feed the pollen!”

Fang Dushu ignored her self-bragging and suddenly mentioned a spiritual object: "In ancient times, a Hundred Flowers Immortal Dynasty arose in the world of appreciating flowers and cultivating immortals, and passed down a kind of spiritual treasure called the 'Hundred Flowers Relic Pearl'. This kind of The Relic Pearl is quite remarkable, and he actually gives away the fruits of his hard work to enlightenment to outsiders without any reservation!

I used to think that the monks who refined the 'Hundred Flowers Bead' were selfless sacrifices. Now I suddenly have another opinion. Maybe the 'Hundred Flowers Bead' is the source of the flower power of the black peony corpse. The reason why the Hundred Flowers Witch can be born continuously is that It is nurtured by the collective of monks who have understood and practiced the 'Hundred Flowers Relic'! "

After Fang Dushu finished speaking, he looked directly at the Flower Witch and asked, "Is that right?"

For the first time, the Witch of Flowers showed a panicked expression. She seemed to have seen through all her background, and asked with a trembling voice: "So what if it's right, so what if it's wrong?"

Fang Dushu answered her: "If you are right, I have a way to destroy all the 'Hundred Flowers Legacy Pearls' in the world of appreciating flowers and cultivating immortals, and kill all the monks who practice the Hundred Flowers Legacy Way, and eliminate the source of flower power, so that You become the last Flower Witch!"

These words were said in an understatement, but to the ears of the Hundred Flowers Witch, they were like a bolt from the blue. If Fang Dushu really went out of his way to destroy all the 'Hundred Flowers' and Taoism, not only would the pollen no longer be able to hatch, but the black peony corpse would also gradually wither. , until it withers and shatters.

When the time comes, Black Peony will be completely wiped out from the world, and the Flower Witch will no longer be able to be reborn.

'The Pearl of Hundred Flowers' was like a life gate, directly breaking through the Hundred Flowers Witch's will to deal with the situation. She immediately decided to compromise, walked away from the flower wall, knelt in front of Fang Dushu, and expressed her position without reservation: "Baihua is willing to be loyal to the master." , Serve your master as long as you live, even if you die, you will have no regrets!"

Fang Dushu looked at her quietly and said nothing.

When Fang Dushu mentioned the function of the 'Hundred Flowers Relic Pearl' just now, he was completely guessing, but he never expected that it would turn out to be a prophecy.

He keeps saying that he wants to kill all the monks who practice the Hundred Flowers Tradition, but this is actually just a false threat.

Almost everyone in the Wanxiang Three Sects practices the Hundred Flowers Legacy Way, how could he kill them? The most that can be done is to make the Hundred Flowers Legacy Dao a forbidden method, and the disciples will not be allowed to continue practicing it in the future.

However, the 'Hundred Flowers Legacy Pearl' has been passed down for a long time, almost throughout the history of the world of appreciating flowers and cultivating immortals. It is impossible for Fang Dushu to find all the legacy pearls. Moreover, the Baihua Taoism has been deeply rooted in people's hearts for a long time, and it is impossible to eradicate it. It is difficult for Fang Dushu to stop it. The continued birth of the Flower Witch.

But now that the Flower Witch has surrendered, Fang Dushu doesn't have to waste any more time, let alone work hard to attack the solid flower wall of Black Peony.

He was very satisfied with the attitude of the Flower Witch and asked casually: "You were still worried just now that you would be harmed by me if you left the flower wall rashly. Why, are you not afraid now?"

"Still scared!"

But the Witch of Hundred Flowers had no choice. She told the truth: "Only I can drive this black peony, and only I can open the entrance to the Black River. Master, you might as well save my life for now, and wait until I can serve you. If If you think I'm doing something bad, it won't be too late to punish me severely!"

"Then tell me how the Hundred Flowers Relic Pearl replenished the flower power of the Black Peony, and how it hatched your birth?"

"Actually, it's very simple. When all the Hundred Flowers Relic Pearls are enlightened and become enlightened, Black Peony can receive a flower power initiation to maintain the aura of the flower pistils. When the Hundred Flowers Taoist method is practiced, Black Peony can also intercept a trace of mana and inject it into it. Breeding among the pollen!”

"Is this harmful to those who are enlightened and those who practice?"

"It's completely harmless, but it's beneficial to both parties! The monks advance through understanding the 'Hundred Flowers Relic Pearl', and then improve their cultivation through practicing the Hundred Flowers Taoism. Black Peony only intercepts a trace of their mana, which is insignificant. It’s almost negligible to them!”       But a little adds up.

If there are tens of thousands of monks practicing the Hundred Flowers Taoism, the black peony will continuously absorb mana, thereby keeping the flower power full and keeping the peony stamens looking new all year round.

Fang Dushu was deeply surprised after hearing this. He felt that the effect of the 'Hundred Flowers Pearl' was similar to that of the 'Green Lotus Sword Curse'.

The difference is that the 'Hundred Flowers Pearl' is drunk in a preaching way, while the 'Green Lotus Sword Curse' is drunk in a killing way.

Thinking of the similarities between the pear wreath and the Tai Chi circle, Fang Dushu couldn't help but secretly sigh that all the Flower Witches of the past should have been super geniuses in the field of enlightenment.

Of course, Black Peony, the mother-grandmother of the Flower Witch, must have been even more gifted in enlightenment during her lifetime.

"You just said that Black Peony is the king of spiritual roots. Was it born in the world of appreciating flowers and cultivating immortals?"

Fang Dushu thought it was impossible, because the strongest spiritual root in the world of appreciating flowers and cultivating immortals was the jade oak tree. If Black Peony was really the king of spiritual roots, it is estimated that only a land like Qinghe Shenzhou could breed it.

"Master, I am also confused about the specific birthplace of Black Peony!" Baihua Witch replied:
  "According to the memory I inherited, Black Peony was originally born on Kun-Lai Island. She was hunted down for some reason and was forced to flee Kun-Lai Island. She escaped into the world of flower appreciation and immortality through the Black River Channel, and then took root!"

"Oh, the ancestral home is Kun-Lai Island, are you sure?"

"Not sure! When the previous Witch of Flowers visited Kun-Lai Island, she discovered a ruins where Black Peony was found, so she speculated that Black Peony was born on Kun-Lai Island!"

"When did Black Peony die?"

"The exact number of years cannot be verified! Black Peony did not leave any memory before her death. She only did one thing, which was to refine the Hundred Flowers Relic Beads and scattered them in the world of appreciating flowers and cultivating immortals. Later, after the Hundred Flowers Witch was born, she also inherited this thing , successive Baihua Witches will leave behind a batch of Baihua Relics!"

"So, the Hundred Flowers Legacy Pearl was refined by Black Peony and all the Hundred Flower Witches?"

"Yes!"

After all, one's own power is limited. With the number of relics currently appearing in the world of appreciating flowers and cultivating immortals, it is only reasonable for multiple Baihua Witches to participate together.

Fang Dushu roughly understood the origins of the Black Peony and the Flower Witch, so he stopped asking any more questions. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go and open the entrance to the Black River. I want to search for the Xia Xia Dan and the stream-cutting branch!"

The Flower Witch looked embarrassed: "I have to cast a spell to open the entrance, but my magic power is blocked by the sword wound, and I can no longer control the Black Peony!"

Fang Dushu immediately took out a medicine bottle and handed it to her: "This is a healing elixir. Use it immediately. It will be effective immediately. You can use this medicine to connect it to your right arm."

She suddenly seemed hesitant: "Master gave me the medicine directly, without planting a ban on me first? If I leave privately after I recover from my injury, wouldn't Master suffer a big loss?"

The previous Witch of Flowers had imprisoned the Jade Gel Elephant, so she thought she should be restrained as well.

Fang Dushu glanced at her: "You just swore that you would serve me for the rest of your life and that you would die without regrets. I am willing to trust you. If you really run away in the future, I will ask you to take back my elixir!"

The Flower Witch was stunned for a moment, thinking that if the elixir is used on her body, it must be integrated with her body. How can she recycle it?
  She silently opened the medicine bottle and saw that the bottle contained jade glue and blood. The heat was much worse than that of Wannian Lingjiao. She thought this was the elixir for arm extension?
  She started taking the medicine with doubts, but found that the medicine was surprisingly effective, and the wound on her shoulder healed and scabbed quickly.

When the scars peeled off and her skin took on a new look, she moved her extended right arm, which seemed to be no different from before.

Her magic power can also operate smoothly. No matter how she tests, her body has been completely restored. She really can't figure out what Fang Dushu means by "taking back the pill".

She didn't ask any more questions, because she didn't plan to leave Fang Dushu privately. Only by staying by Fang Dushu's side and guarding her every step of the way could she know whether Fang Dushu would destroy the Baihua Relic Pearl. Once she left Fang Dushu, , she has to be on tenterhooks all the time.

"Thank you, Master, for the medicine! Master, please move to the flower pond. The entrance to the passage is in the pond!" The Baihua Witch recovered from her injury and began to run her errands, turning sideways to guide Fang Dushu.

She was not wearing a single strand of clothing on her body. This place had been covered in dust for too long. Even if the previous Witch of Flowers had left any clothes, they would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

She is not a human being. She is transformed into a human form with the body of vegetation. She stays in the space at the bottom of the bottle all the year round. She never comes into contact with the outside world. There is no difference between men and women in her heart. Her customs are similar to those of primitive creatures, so she does not mind showing them in front of Fang Dushu. Exquisite figure.

Fang Dushu threw a few Taoist robes to her, thinking about the elixir.

This elixir was carefully refined for the monks of the Wolf Venom Department, and the materials were taken from the thousand-year spiritual glue and the essence of the dragon and tiger beast.

From the outside, Baihua Witch's wound has completely healed, but there is still a trace of dragon and tiger energy left in her wound. As long as she dares to rebel in the future, Fang Dushu can relapse the wound at any time and suppress her in a flash.

This ray of essence has been refined by the dragon and tiger beast and can be perfectly hidden in the body. Unless the cultivation level is higher than that of the dragon and tiger beast, it will never be sensed.

The Baihua Witch was born only over a hundred years ago. Although she is extremely talented and has reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul, she is weaker than the dragon and tiger beast, and her future advancement speed will not be as fast. Fang Dushu is not worried about her ability to sense spirits. Air traces.

Soon, the two of them moved to the flower pond.

The Flower Witch first said, 'Master, please wait a moment. ’

Then she started to cast the spell. As she continued to use her secret technique, the black peony suddenly shrank and turned into a stamen about ten feet in diameter, floating in front of her.

A hundred-foot-long black peony shadow was left in the entire bottom space of the bottle.

At this time, Fang Dushu looked at the phantom flower pond and found that the black water in the pond had turned into a large whirlpool.

"This is the entrance to the Black River. You can enter the Black River channel by passing through the whirlpool!"

The Witch of Hundred Flowers deliberately explained more: "Master, every time a portal is opened, Black Peony consumes a lot of flower power. Because Black Peony has fallen, the Hundred Flowers Legacy Pearl is the only source of flower power. If the number of monks practicing the Hundred Flowers Legacy Way decreases in the future, The flower shadows will not be able to condense, and the entrance will never be opened again!"

She was emphasizing the important role of the Baihua Relic Pearl, and implicitly persuaded Fang Dushu not to have the thought of destroying the Relic Pearl.

Fang Dushu understood what she meant, but did not respond. Instead, he asked about another thing: "Can you find the source of the divine water of rebirth in Tongtian River?"

"I know a certain location, but too much time has passed. I'm afraid the water source at that location has long been taken away or has dried up!"

"I know! Just cast the spell and let's go to Heihe and take a look!"

The Flower Witch immediately threw the black peony at her feet, then signaled Fang Dushu to stand on the flower's pistil, and fell into the whirlpool and disappeared.
