The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 920 - 504_2

Huangfuming interrupted her, saying, "A person like me? What kind of person am I?" Could it be that he has the aura of a king, one day shocking the world with his majestic presence?

"You have a heavy aura of evil qi about you, which should be innate, allowing you to avoid karma. Picking the Bliss Flower would naturally go without a hitch. Perhaps the strategist in your father’s prefecture already foresaw this." Ning Xiaoxian noticed a sudden look of disappointment on his face, curious about what the child was thinking, "I’ve told you everything you need to know. Now, do you still want to take away the Bliss Flower?"

Seeing the serious expression on such a delicately sculpted child’s face was quite amusing. After a moment of contemplation, Huangfuming unexpectedly said with determination, "I want to!" His father has many capable subordinates who can surely pre-extract the essence of mortal blood and use it to water the flower on the ancestor’s birthday, as long as no blood is seen on the day itself. Commanding the Bliss Flower to bloom in front of all the guests and making the ancestor happy would be a big gain in prestige, and his father would naturally be pleased. Mirror Sea King had him in his later years, his only offspring, so the bond between father and son is very strong, and he would do everything in his power to bring joy to his family.

As for a thousand human lives, come on, people die every moment in this world, what’s one thousand more or less? Just send some compensation to each of their families.

"How do I take it out?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"You should have a jade container in your storage ring, shouldn’t you? Take it out and hold some Stone Milk in it. The Bliss Flower doesn’t root in soil; you can use a jade knife to scrape the whole plant into the jade container." Watching him take things out from the storage ring, Ning Xiaoxian quickly added, "Wait until I leave before you start. The Bliss Flower is tainted with sin, and I don’t have your ability to be protected by evil qi, so if I don’t see it, I can avoid some of the karmic repercussions." By not touching, not hearing, and not witnessing him picking the flower, the cycle of karma would not be attributed to her.

She walked out of the stone cave slowly, and after a while, she was suddenly startled inside, as if an invisible thread in the unseen was being pulled, and only because this matter was related to her did she have this ominous foreboding. Changtian also quietly said in the God Demon Prison, "It’s begun."

"You felt it too?"

"Yes. The Heavenly Mechanism has been set in motion."

This was too strange; the Heavenly Mechanism triggered by Huangfuming also involved Changtian?

In this world, originally only people like Huangfuming, who naturally have evil qi protection, are able to touch the Sin Flower. So when he asked about the Bliss Flower today, Changtian knew the time for the flower to find its master had come. This was predestined by fate, only needing Ning Xiaoxian’s hand to set this opportunity in motion, or else how could Changtian allow him to stick so close to her for so long?

And Ning Xiaoxian, when asking Huangfuming if he was determined to pick the flower, was almost certain his answer would be affirmative. Since that was the case, there was no need to obstruct his opportunity. It was just that this time she seemed to have triggered a strange Heavenly Mechanism, not knowing what kind of butterfly effect it might cause in the future.

Not long after, Huangfuming came out, his little face flushed, clearly indicating the collection process went very smoothly, making him feel triumphant. He saw Ning Xiaoxian standing quietly under a spooky old locust tree, just as he was about to call to her, he suddenly felt her slender silhouette seemed somewhat ethereal, as if it might be blown away by the wind at any moment.

This Ning Garden Director, she didn’t seem particularly happy.

"Got it? Then let’s head back." Ning Xiaoxian turned around and was about to reach out to support him, but Huangfuming quickly brought out a storage bag and said, "Here are fifty thousand Spirit Stones, the agreed-upon reward!"

She gave him a sidelong glance, "Isn’t there supposed to be a handsome man to introduce to me? You’ve just acquired the Bliss Flower, and your payment is already shrinking?"

"Uh." Huangfuming was at a loss for words, suddenly feeling a bit regretful. He didn’t want to introduce Senior Brother Quan to her anymore, what should he do?

Wait, don’t they already know each other?

He immediately widened his eyes, "You’re teasing me again! Haven’t you two known each other for a long time?"

Kids really are easy to tease. "Alright, take your Spirit Stones back." She barely suppressed her smile, "I’m not going to involve myself in the karma of this matter, so I naturally can’t take your money either."

He scratched his head, "Then wouldn’t you be working for free? How could I just let that happen?"

She, as usual, grabbed his waist belt and lifted him up, flying into the sky; this time, she remembered to set up a Barrier: "Speaking of which, although the Bliss Flower is useless to us cultivators, it’s still a rare Spirit Grass in the Immortal Plant Garden, only surviving because it requires nourishment from Stone Milk. As the Garden Director, I have the duty to take care of it and find its destined owner. There are so few people with innate evil qi protection, who else would I give it to if not you?"

Huangfuming immediately felt quite full of himself, "So I’m the one destined, now that’s something to brag about!"

"Yes, yes, you’re delighted." This kid is naturally bold; he was so pale from fear when she took him straight up into the clouds on the way in, but now he dared to look around. It seems the Mirror Sea King is quite a character, able to raise a son so bold.

"Then I’ll find another way to repay you."

This kid unexpectedly values his promises; he seems like he’d be good material for business in the future: "Whatever you like."

He turned his eyes and suddenly said, "How about you come to our prefecture and serve as a tribute for the Mirror Sea King?... Whoa, you’re trying to kill me? Hold me tighter!" His little hands reached out and grabbed her arm firmly again.

What? How did this divine twist come about, she was taken aback, and her grip involuntarily loosened, almost making Huangfuming fall and become airborne.

She said, rather annoyed, "I’m the Immortal Plant Garden Director of Hidden Stream." Kids have such wild imaginations; maybe she’s getting old, struggling to keep up with their thought processes.
