Knowing Summer Grass!
Two leaves split left and right, usually sprouting at the beginning of summer.
Though its order is not high, it contains a warm flame force, especially suitable for making some first-Order healing elixirs, with good healing effects on Yin cold poison.
As soon as that touch of verdant green appeared, Luo Chen recognized it instantly.
Such herbs are not particularly rare. Official source is NoveI-Fire.ɴet
But what’s peculiar is, amidst this deep winter day, it suddenly sprouted!
Looking at the slightly divided tender green leaves, Luo Chen was somewhat surprised.
The reason it’s called "Knowing Summer" is because it only sprouts when early summer arrives, and people see this grass as a signal that summer is here.
Once summer and autumn pass, the Knowing Summer Grass withers away, accumulating energy to await the next summer.
He reached out his hand to touch the leaves.
Suddenly, the Knowing Summer Grass drooped into the white snow.
Luo Chen chuckled, indifferent at heart, thinking this stalk of Knowing Summer Grass simply mistook the season, sprouting at the wrong time.
He retracted his hand, but a spark of insight flashed in his mind, freezing his hand in midair.
Spirit Light flickered in his eyes as he scanned the snow-covered mountain group.
Unknowingly, specks of verdant green had emerged.
Mirage Dragon Secret Realm, a world unto itself, yet its seasonal cycle follows the Outer World, almost identical.
At such a cold winter season, this area shouldn’t have this much green!
Luo Chen was startled in his heart, instinctively looking towards that nearby low hill.
It seemed ordinary, yet it was surrounded by hidden arrays set up by Luo Chen!
Perhaps these arrays weren’t as powerful as the mountain-stabilizing arrays Gu Daosu placed during his Sudden Enlightenment, but in terms of concealment, they were top-notch.
Fu Qinglan is cultivating within the mountain!
Luo Chen performed a Daoist Law Method, the array gently unfolded, revealing verdancy everywhere his eyes landed!
The closer to Fu Qinglan’s seclusion cave mansion, the more thriving the vegetation, bursting with vitality, that Luo Chen could feel even from afar.
He subconsciously pressed his lips, a look of amazement appearing in his eyes.
"Could this be the so-called Wood Element Origin Force?"
This is the only explanation!
Nascent Soul True Master is strong, yet not capable of affecting the Outer World environment; even controlling Heaven and Earth Qi requires cooperation of the Nascent Soul.
This vegetation grows according to seasonal cycles, relying inherently on the Origin Qi between Heaven and Earth.
Currently, the out-of-season vegetation must be converging the necessary Origin Qi.
Yet the natural way wouldn’t arbitrarily give rise to Origin Qi.
The only explanation is Fu Qinglan comprehended the Origin Power, thereby extracting large quantities of corresponding Qi from the Primordial Energy Ocean, which due to inadequate control leaks and causes the supposed spring, summer, and autumn vegetation to sprout on cold winter days.
"She finally got on the right path!"
"Thus, my decades of toil and lonely guarding haven’t been in vain."
Luo Chen showed a look of gratification, then slowly closed his eyes.
The subsequent matters become simple, as long as he guards the final post until Fu Qinglan exits seclusion.
The duration is hard to judge, could be very long, or very short, yet ultimately the answer now exists.
But just as Luo Chen closed his eyes, his consciousness trembled.
Within the Purple Mansion!
The weak withered white flame was turning from white to green, its flame rising incessantly.
The appearance of this scene is self-explanatory!
Prosperity and Decline True Fire, awakened!
Its Breath started ascending, massive green flames steaming up above the Purple Mansion, seemingly forming a green cloud that enshrouded Luo Chen’s Nascent Soul.
At this moment, the Nascent Soul, due to Luo Chen previously setting up the Withering and Flourishing Divine Prohibition, appeared wrinkled rather than the usual white and tender.
Luo Chen’s Divine Soul sank into it, and the Nascent Soul suddenly opened its eyes.
It scurried to the Prosperity and Decline True Fire, its blossoming vitality reflecting redness on the Nascent Soul’s little face.
"Originally I thought it would only take years to revive outside. But ever since entering Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, Prosperity and Decline True Fire’s revival became terribly slow."
"I thought it was due to this realm differing from the Outer World, leading to this scenario, contemplating reviving it outside."
"Yet unexpectedly..."
The Nascent Soul muttered to itself, feeling particularly comfortable as it sensed the vibrant vitality emanating from the awakened True Fire.
Suddenly, Luo Chen thought of a possibility.
"It’s the Origin of Wood leaking from Fu Qinglan and being unconsciously absorbed by me, leading to the early awakening of Prosperity and Decline True Fire?"
The more Luo Chen thought, the more he felt it was indeed the case!
Because the True Fire’s transformation requires the evolution from flourishing to withering, and from withering to flourishing.
The latter’s evolution demands immense vitality.
Earlier, Luo Chen worried about the True Fire absorbing vitality, impacting his Nascent Soul. Due to his self-created cultivation technique, Luo Chen specifically set the Withering and Flourishing Divine Prohibition on the Nascent Soul to prevent it from leaking vitality.
Now, Fu Qinglan’s comprehension of the Origin of Wood filled this gap for him.
Next, just let it naturally transform.
Luo Chen smiled slightly, leaving a Soul Splitting in the Nascent Soul while his main consciousness returned to the Sea of Consciousness.
He’s keen to see what level the fully revived Prosperity and Decline True Fire will achieve?
Luo Chen continued to sit cross-legged atop the Snow Mountain, vigilant of his surroundings, preventing anyone from interrupting Fu Qinglan’s cultivation.
Yet another part of his attention focused on the transformation of Prosperity and Decline True Fire.
As days passed, and the mountain group began transitioning through seasons.
