Mu Lianqi’s gaze swept across the body before he told Di Jiu, “I’m done now.”

Di Jiu nodded, carefully putting Nong Xiuqi back into his Ninth World. Then, he cupped his fists before Mu Lianqi. “Big Brother Mu, can the Two-Realm Flower save her?”

Mu Lianqi said, “Your wife must have burned her soul, so she logically should have already passed on. If my guess is correct, you fed her some kind of apex treasure that contains a massive amount of life-force. Therefore, she is still alive and her life-force is slowly recovering.”

Di Jiu immediately understood and knew that Mu Lianqi was telling the truth. His understanding of medicine was indeed top-notch, or he would not have known that Nong Xiuqi had burned her soul with just one glance and Di Jiu had fed her the Divine Quintessence.

“However...” Di Jiu’s heart skipped a beat when Mu Lianqi said this word. He clenched his fists tightly as he looked at the other man.

Ling Xiaoshuang, who was standing aside, silently sighed deeply. She knew that she had no chance. Di Jiu’s wife was surely beautiful. Plus, judging by how anxious Di Jiu was about his wife, their relationship was very strong. At the moment, the only thing she could do was sincerely wish the best for Di Jiu and his wife and hope his wife could swiftly recover.

Mu Lianqi saw how nervous Di Jiu was as well and silently sighed. “Ah Jiu, I shall tell you very honestly that this is a lost cause. What you fed her was indeed very precious, but it can only delay time. The Two-Realm Flower can save your wife, but there is something else required as well. The rarity of this item puts the Two-Realm Flower to shame...”

Mu Lianqi stopped speaking, as he knew that Di Jiu might not be able to obtain this item even if he told him about it.

Di Jiu urged him. “Big Brother Mu, please tell me. No matter what it is, I will try my best to obtain it.”

Sighing, Mu Lianqi said, “Ah Jiu, you will not be able to obtain it even if I tell you its name. It is called the Green Lotus of Creation and it is a treasure from the epoch-making times. It is even more powerful than Connate treasures and it is considered a creation item. If the universe had just split itself, we might still have been able to locate it. However, it is an impossible task now.”

“The Green Lotus of Creation...” Di Jiu repeated in a murmur, his tone extremely desolate. He knew that Mu Lianqi was most likely telling the truth. Anyone who could obtain a creation treasure like the Green Lotus of Creation was someone with heaven-defying luck. Where could he obtain a treasure like this when the epoch-making era had occurred such a long time ago?

Upon seeing Di Jiu’s state, Ling Xiaoshuang wanted to comfort him but did not know what to say.

Mu Lianqi sighed once again. “Ah Jiu, the Green Lotus of Creation no longer exists. When the universe first split, I was still a spirit plant. Therefore, I saw with my own eyes the Green Lotus of Creation get cut into pieces by someone. Later on, I heard many people say that the Green Lotus of Creation was grade-36. After being cut, it became a grade-12 Golden Lotus of Virtue, a grade-12 Red Lotus of Hellfire, and a grade-12 Black Lotus of World Destruction. Some people say that the Green Lotus of Creation was also known as the Blue Lotus of Nirvana, but I can tell you with certainty that they were all wrong, as that happened in front of me.”

Di Jiu’s brain was filled with the grade-36 Green Lotus of Creation, but Mu Lianqi thought that Di Jiu was waiting for him to elaborate on the Green Lotus of Creation. Thus, he added, “The Green Lotus of Creation was indeed grade-36. However, after being cut into pieces, it did not become the Golden Lotus of Virtue, the Red Lotus of Hellfire, and the Black Lotus of World Destruction. Instead, the pieces scattered in the universe and disappeared without a trace.

“The Golden Lotus of Virtue, the Red Lotus of Hellfire, and the Black Lotus of World Destruction were all far inferior to the Golden Lotus of Virtue, but all of them came from the same origin. Four lotuses were formed when the universe first split. The Green Lotus of Creation was formed when one of them absorbed the aura of the universe, while the three other lotuses became the Golden Lotus of Virtue, the Red Lotus of Hellfire, and the Black Lotus of World Destruction respectively.

“Therefore, in terms of ranking, the Green Lotus of Creation was first, while the other three were far below it. These three lotuses did not become grade-36 and should instead be grade-12. However, they all came from the same origin, which means that if you manage to find one of them, you can save your wife by using it with the Two-Realm Flower.”

Di Jiu suddenly got so excited that his hands started trembling. He thought of the black lotus he possessed, which was also the Black Lotus of World Destruction. Although it was inferior to the Green Lotus of Creation, they both originated from the same source.

“Big Brother Di, there is definitely a way to save your wife. The various experts of the Lost Dao World had many quality items in their secret stash. You might be able to find it there.” Ling Xiaoshuang approached Di Jiu and comforted him when she saw his hand trembling.

“Thank you.” Di Jiu took a deep breath and bowed before Mu Lianqi. “Thank you for helping me, Big Brother Mu. May I ask another question? If I obtain one of the three lotuses, what do I do to save my wife?”

Mu Lianqi waved his hand dismissively, indicating that Di Jiu should not be so courteous about it. Then, he said, “Set up a life-force major array around the lotus, put in some supreme-grade divine spirit meridians, and place your wife beside the lotus. Then, liquefy the Two-Realm Flower and let it permeate her body. The lotus will incubate her soul. One day, when her soul recovers, she will wake up.”

Di Jiu wanted to slap himself really badly. All his good stuff was in the Ninth World, yet he had not used it to save the Ninth World. Ignorance was indeed the most terrifying thing.

Di Jiu remained silent about the fact that he had the Black Lotus of World Destruction with him, for them knowing about it was not important.

Mu Lianqi wanted to distract Di Jiu. After providing a full explanation, he said, “Ah Jiu, there is a bit of nomological aura of the universe in the Half-Patterned Swamp. You just came here and you are brimming with life-force aura. Thanks to the presence of the Origin Dao runes, you might be able to improve your cultivation if you manage to gain some insight. It would be too late if you waited until your life-force weakened.”

“That’s right, Big Brother Di. I came here because I wanted to gain insight into the universe Dao runes, as it is extremely beneficial to the process of perfecting one’s Dao. I sensed that the cultivators of the Lost Dao World were much stronger than me. The reason is that my Dao is scattered all over and lacks substance and Origin aura.” Ling Xiaoshuang hurriedly interjected, similarly wanting to change the topic of conversation.

Di Jiu nodded. “I shall take a look after entering seclusion for a while.”

Upon saying that, he took out a thunder pearl and told Ling Xiaoshuang, “Xiaoshuang, this contains your friend Ye Yimo. However, by the time I found her, she was only left with this small bit of soul, which I used some treasure to nourish. It is much stronger now. Take a look at it.”

“Yimo...” When Ling Xiaoshuang saw that faint but familiar figure in the thunder pearl, her eyes turned red and tears started flowing uncontrollably.

She was from the same generation as Ye Yimo’s father, Ye Mo, but her true friend was Ye Yimo. Although she was older than Yimo, the latter had helped her more than she had.

“How could this be possible...” Ling Xiaoshuang murmured repeatedly. According to her memories, Ye Mo was an apex expert. Who had dared to kill him? Or rather, who was capable of doing so?

“Big Brother Mu, after leaving this place, I intend to help her find a pair of Two-Realm Flowers as well.” Di Jiu put the thunder pearl away.

Ye Yimo might be Ling Xiaoshuang’s friend, but Di Jiu knew very well that they could not be left together. He possessed the Ninth World, so it would be much safer to keep Ye Yimo by his side instead.

Mu Lianqi suddenly said, “Ah Jiu, the Two-Realm Flower cannot save this lady.”

“Ah!” Both Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang were shocked when they heard that. If the Two-Realm Flower could not, what could?

Mu Lianqi knew that the two of them had misunderstood his words, so he hastily explained, “The Two-Realm Flower can strengthen her soul but cannot help her perfectly recover her body. Only the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus can save her.”
