722 Gathering of Three Flowers I (1/2)

The offer was exceptionally tempting, and it was infinitely more realistic than the Primordial Demon's temptation. It was similar to the way he dealt with people who harbored evil intentions towards his daughter previously where he made on offer of irresistible temptation. And now was no different. The Fifth Manor made him an offer he couldn't refuse, so they made a deal.

Every offer needed to be fulfilled and that by a first-come, first-served basis. To gather the Three Flowers within 10 days was the first one to fulfill. After all, a hatchet man had to be strong enough; otherwise, he would be beaten instead, which wouldn't be nice.

Zhou Bao could not gather the Three Flowers above the Head for the time being, mainly due to the last Void Thunder Tribulation that caused him to be still at the consolidation stage. Besides, the Three Flowers above the Head included the Body, the Qi, and the Spirit. To gather each flower required profound apprehension of the life forces of these three aspects. Zhou Bao's rapid growth in strength left him far behind in his apprehension of these three aspects, just like the fact that his cultivation had always been behind his combat capability. This was both a good thing and a bad thing.

As the practice advanced, the apprehension of power and the cognition of the world's nature became more and more important. If there were a lack of apprehension or cognition, the practice later up would have more and more bottlenecks and troubles.

Although the Azure Big World allowed Zhou Bao to cheat with time, there were things that could not be achieved even with ample time. To apprehend the three aspects needed constant struggles, apprehension, life and death fights, and rich experiences in the world, especially the Flower of the Spirit. Without thousands of years of experience in the world and seeing through the society and human beings, it was impossible to gather the Flower of the Spirit.

It was not a matter of time; it was a matter of cultivating one's heart.

Having reached such a high state, Zhou Bao, of course, knew of it. And he knew his shortcomings too. So how could he turn down Qing Feng's offer?

When Zhou Bao said yes without hesitation, Qing Feng smiled and had an eager expression on his face, saying, ”Come with me. I'll help you to gather the Three Flowers above the Head. Linglong, you can go back now. Tell your father to come back more often. When your granduncle and I achieve the Earthly Immortals' Great Way, he will be in charge of Fifth Manor!”

”Yes, granduncle!” Ma Linglong nodded helplessly.

After following Qing Feng into the backyard of Fifth Manor, Zhou Bao looked around with his head stretched out. He made his Fiery Eyes fully functional just to see if the legendary ginseng fruit tree existed. However, it was obvious that he had done it in vain, for the backyard, though ordinary in appearance, also had an odd inhibition. This inhibition seemed to have no power, but Zhou Bao could not see through it even with his Fiery Eyes and Heavenly Magic Eye.

You heard right, even the Heavenly Magic Eye, a Taihao Fairy Weapon, could not see through the small yard.

”You'd better not activate a fairy weapon in Fifth Manor. It's not good!” Qing Feng, who walked ahead, smiled and softly reminded Zhou Bao of that as if he knew what Zhou Bao was doing.

Zhou Bao blushed and quickly closed his Heavenly Magic Eye. This was Fifth Manor in Longevity Mountain, not some place else. If he really were to piss off a mighty figure, no matter how many aces he had up his sleeve, those may be of no help to him.

”Your Heavenly Magic Eye is wonderful, and because of your Fiery Eyes Bloodline, it is, so to speak, your own ability. But you haven't fitted well with it yet. When you gather the Three Flowers, I'll give you a hand to make you a perfect match for the Heavenly Magic Eye. What do you think?”

”Are you serious?” Zhou Bao froze for an instant before a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

The Heavenly Magic Eye, which he took from Yu Taixu, was a peerless fairy weapon that Divine Wind Palace spent countless painstaking efforts on refining the Fiery Eyes with all Fiery Eyes' owners. The fairy weapon had exactly the same function as the Heavenly Magic Eyes of some of the most powerful Innate Deities in primitive times, it was just a little weaker than them.

The Heavenly Magic Eye mainly had two functions. One was its invincible attack force to the spirit, and the other was the ability to understand everything.

In the past, Zhou Bao's Fiery Eyes had the power of soul-summoning. But in the Heavenly Magic Eye, it was actually just a little function. Now with the Heavenly Magic Eye, he knew the Dharma of Immortal practice and had a clear understanding of the Heavenly Magic Eye. Moreover, he could exert much more of its powers than Yu Taixu could, yet, it was still less than 30 percent.

What did it mean to make him a perfect match for the Heavenly Magic Eye?

It meant that Zhou Bao would be able to exert all of the Heavenly Magic Eye's powers, which would significantly boost his strength.
