I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Chapter 1223 Flower Soul Essence

Ryuu, who never expected to hear such an answer, was speechless.

This was completely different from the situation he had imagined, where he was being relentlessly pursued by a large group of Jiao Clan cultivators.

He didn't even have time to ask the Jiaolong cultivators why they dared not pursue them.

Another question immediately came to mind:

"...Benefactors, since they are not pursuing us, why should we run away?"

"This is a bit hard to explain." Ning Ruan didn't want to repeat herself about her affair with the Shadow Clan.

She said, "Anyway, we just need to escape now, so don't ask any more questions."

Li Yuan: "...Okay."

If my benefactor says not to ask, then I won't ask.

but……

"My benefactor, may I...may I return to my clan first?"

Li Yuan asked hesitantly, looking rather embarrassed.

His benefactor got into big trouble for saving him, but he had to leave alone.

The thought of doing something like this is sinful.

Before Ning Ruan could speak, he quickly added, "But don't worry, benefactor, we can leave our contact information. When you have a specific location, just let me know and I'll come right away."

"I can swear a heavenly oath."

Li Yuan stood up as soon as she said she would.

The oath must be taken immediately.

Ning Ruan said, "No need."

She tilted her head slightly. "Is your tribe fun?"

"Or rather, is there anything good to eat?"

"Especially spiritual fruits and medicines."

Li Yuan paused.

Some were not quite there yet. "The clan has a lot of spiritual fruits, and some clansmen can also produce spiritual fruits. As for the taste, it should be quite good, right? It's just not that useful for cultivation."

I'm also glad it wasn't very useful.

Otherwise, their Hundred Flowers Clan would have long been spoiled and exploited by those powerful clans.

“Alright, let’s go.” Ning Ruan nodded, her answer crisp and decisive.

Li Yuan was stunned again, and it took her a while to confirm that she hadn't misheard. "...Benefactor, you...you mean you want to return to the clan with me?"

"You don't want to?" Ning Ruan said "Oh," "Are you afraid of attracting the Jiao Clan there?"

Li Yuan quickly shook her head, "Of course not."

He said, "I believe my benefactor who said the Jiao clan did not pursue us."

"Besides, they know who I am, and they know that I worry about my sister."

"If I really return to the Hundred Flowers Clan, they will have a harder time finding me."

At this point, Li Yuan rarely showed a slight smile, "Although my clan is not good at fighting, there are always a few exceptions. No matter how strong the protectors behind Long Lingzhu are, they cannot destroy my entire Hundred Flowers Clan by their own strength, can they?"

"Unless they attack our clan directly, but if that happens, the Phoenix Clan will definitely not stand idly by."

“The Phoenix Clan might turn a blind eye to fights between smaller races, but it wouldn’t be good if a larger race launched a genocidal war against a smaller race.”

Ning Ruan: "..."

Ning Ruan couldn't bear to discourage him.

Although the Phoenix Bird Clan strives for peace among all races.

But it's just their clan. When the Jiao clan is determined to fight the Baihua clan, what can the Fengque clan do?

Send troops to stop them? That would be tantamount to starting a war with the Jiaolong clan.

It is clearly impossible to gamble away the lives and resources of countless warriors of a small, insignificant tribe that is content with its limited territory.

The Phoenix Clan's "peace" often requires weighing the pros and cons.

Ning Ruan didn't say much, only saying, "When the time comes, I'll find a way to sneak in with you, and no one will know that I'm with you."

"Or, I could choose not to go in and wait in the Eternal Domain, which is closest to the Hundred Flowers Clan."

"Just bring the spirit fruit to me when the time comes."

Li Yuan was even more moved.

He now even feels that the reason his benefactor offered to accompany him was probably just to see him off.

After all, he is all alone now. In reality, he doesn't even have a spirit boat that can travel in the Boundless Realm.

We'll have to wait until the next Eternal Domain to purchase it.

Even if he manages to acquire the spirit boat, with his rather weak abilities, he might still encounter other dangers along the way.

My benefactor is so kind.

A few days later, Li Yuan's gratitude turned into a tangible expression of thanks.

He held a milky white droplet the size of a child's fist in his hand.

He respectfully handed it to Ning Ruan.

"My benefactor, I said I wanted to thank you before, and now it's finally all better."

Ning Ruan stared curiously at the object in his hand. "What is this?"

Li Yuan said, "This is the essence of a hundred flowers. Any cultivator of my Hundred Flowers Clan can use their primordial power as a guide, and add the purest spiritual power in their body as an aid, to condense this wondrous object."

"This item... not only contains extremely pure wood-attribute spiritual power, but it can also nourish the soul and warm the meridians, which is of great benefit to cultivators."

"This stuff must be hard to solidify, right?" Ning Ruan looked at him with a complicated expression.

Li Yuan initially wanted to deny it.

If it's a gift, why make the recipient feel uncomfortable?

But when he met Ning Ruan's gaze... he still nodded truthfully.

"This is all the essence of a hundred flowers that I have condensed so far."

Ning Ruan: "So you gave it all to me?"

Li Yuan smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for my benefactor, I wouldn't even be alive. What use would this thing be?"

“Please accept this, my benefactor. If you don’t accept it, I will not be at peace, and it will be an obstacle to my cultivation. If you accept it, it will benefit you, and it will benefit me as well.”

"Our benefactor may not know that the Soul Essence of a Hundred Flowers can only be formed naturally when our thoughts are clear. This is why no one forces us to condense it, even though they know we can do it. Forcing us is useless, and if we have obstacles in our hearts, we cannot achieve the word 'natural' and will be even more unable to obtain the Soul Essence of a Hundred Flowers."

Ning Ruan: "...Actually, I also have quite a few things that nourish the soul, and they might be more beneficial to you."

“But this tastes excellent. My benefactor doesn’t care about its effects, but only considers it as…” He pointed to the gourd containing milk tea at Ning Ruan’s waist, “…just consider it as a drink like this.”

"If our benefactor were to add a drop of the essence of a hundred flowers to this drink, it would taste even better."

Li Yuan's expression was solemn and her attitude was unusually firm. "If our benefactor is still unwilling to accept it, then we can throw it away. Perhaps that will add a little fun to the situation."

"..."

Ningruan would never be willing to throw it away.

The three words "it tastes good" were enough to completely win her over.

She could only take out a jade bottle.

He poured the contents of the bottle directly into Li Yuan's cup, saying, "You drink it; I need the bottle."
