Chapter 6 (1/2)
”Zhao Fei Yang! Do you concede?” asked Chu Li
”Zhao Fei Yang!” Zhao Ying responded hastily
Zhao Fei Yang stared daggers at Chu Li, his breath getting heavier by the minute He could not believe it; he had not come to terms as to what happened yet His infuriated heart tortured him from within
Chu Li smiled and shook his head
Zhao Ying called for Zhao Fei Yang again, gentler this time
Zhao Fei Yang turned toward her, and seeue, ”I surrender ”
Papapapapapapa!
Zhao Fei Yang slapped hi his handso red prints
”Losing is entirely noro that far,” Chu Li s his head
”You…” Zhao Fei Yang's eyes looked on the brink of erupting
”Chu Li! That's enough” Zhao Ying forced
”Fine My words would be useless anyway” Chu Li replied with a wave of his hand, ”Go back and train so Don't believe all the co that you're already on top like an idiot”
”You will pay for this” Zhao Fei Yang rit teeth
”Chu Li, you're toosaid
”Zhao Ying, he isn't that fragile This thick-skinned idiot will be back” Chu Li shook his head as he assured Zhao Ying
”I'll send for the Moonlight Orchid now” Zhao Ying gently said as she turned and left
As the three disappeared into the distance on the boat, Lee Yue burst out in jovial laughter Chu Li, however, stu his sword as support His face flushed into a worrying pale
”Chu Li?” Lee Yuehim to stay
”It's nothing serious I've just used too y”
”Then sit, quickly” Lee Yue replied
Chu Li slowly made his way back to the Dasiphora parterre He held out his hand brushed against one of the Dasiphora, and felt a surge of energy flowing into his body Using the aura, he activated two cycles of Eternal Youth With his body invigorated, his exhaustion seemed to vanish
The Eternal Youth was an internal ability Chu Li had just acquired It was of Taoist origin, specifically of the internal alchey, it was able to rid one's body of illnesses and extend one's life
”Ding!” The jade instruht back with hi is a trustworthy person indeed She sent it immediately!”
Chu Li glanced at the Orchid with elation, and motioned for it with his hands
Lee Yue sent it closer to Chu Li, ”Do we need to relocate it?” Lee Yue asked
Chu Li shook his head
He touched the Moonlight Orchid A burst of refreshi+ng aura surged into hi in tandem with the Minute Pulse
He spent the following days sitting next to the orchid; feeling it, and trying to identify its properties and patterns
It was aversive to water Deas sufficient hydration, any more would be too much
It required plenty of fertilizer The soil in its pot would lose all its inherent nutrients through the night because of the faint glow the orchid gave off
Chu Li had decided to solve the proble it withthe soil in the pot with the mud mulch mixture
However, the Moonlight Orchid was unable to adapt to theto eat even at the risk of its own life
Chu Li extended the orchid's life with the aura of the Dasiphora In a week, it was able to slowly adapt and accept its nutrients
Chu Li thought to hiain; if it were not for the Scripture of Life and Death, the orchid ht actually have just died!
For the entirewhatever happened outside this space Froerrew to half the Orchid's size
With the fusion of the auras, the Moonlight Orchid sprout grew at an extraordinary pace This was a discovery of an ability that he had rowth speed
The Tree of Life and Death was considered the king of flora, and held mastery over its life and death
Countless thoughts rushed into his head If the orchid was as such, ould happen if other herbs were to take its place? What about the treasures only spoken of in legends?
If he could find their seeds, the scripture could arner was unthinkable!
If he opened a Floral House himself, he could earn an exuberant amount of money
Lee Yue persistently pushed Chu Li to report this to his superiors to reap the benefits of his findings, but Chu Li just as stubbornly refused Without producing another fully grown Moonlight Orchid as proof, he would have significantly more skeptics than if he had solid results
However, no matter the situation, the scripture of Life and Death allowed him to push forward full of confidence
It was dusk The sun prepared its journey below the horizon, and Chu Li sat next to both Moonlight Orchids, training his inner strength Lee Yue joined hiround
”There's so you need to know, Chu Li”
”Did Gu Li Tong succeed?”
”No, it's not Gu Li Tong; it's Zhao Fei Yang!”
”He?”
”Zhao Fei Yang's went and challenged the Tower of Ranking just yesterday He's since been promoted to a rank seven protector!”
”So he's used his shahtly nodded his head, ”Not a surprise his skills were up to it to begin with”
”You aren't worried?” Lee Yue asked in surprise
”About hi after me?”
”What if he coht win this time!”
”If that's the case, then we'll simply decline his offer” Chu Li smiled
The laws of the Public House protect the weak, different frole doctrine the outside world followed But even so, it wasn't a charity; there were no free lunches to be had
”Decline? But” Lee Yue widened his eyes
”We are Scribes after all!” Chu Li shrugged and raised his arainst a Protector with our fists? If they want to co!”
