"What... what flower?"
Can flowers be planted inside a human body?
Could it be that there is soil within his body?
This left Y even more puzzled.
"Have you heard of Citrus Smoke Flower?" Gu Zhiqi asked while lazily lifting his eyelids and looking at Y.
Y: "Is it... the smoke you inhale?"
Gu Zhiqi stared at Y without speaking.
Just being stared at by Gu Zhiqi, Y could feel Gu Zhiqi’s speechlessness; he raised his hand and ran it through his hair, "I really haven’t heard of it."
Gu Zhiqi was silent for three seconds, then tried a different approach, "Shadow Flower, have you heard of it?"
Upon hearing this, Y’s expression changed drastically, "You... you mean, a Shadow Flower has been planted inside my body?"
The Shadow Flower is not a real flower.
Within the Mystical Five Arts of the Mysterious Sect, one of the Mountain Arts includes a technique called Shadow Technique.
Once this Mystical Art is applied, an invisible flower forms inside the body of the person upon whom the technique is used, making them a host for the Shadow Flower.
Once the Shadow Flower is planted in the body, it absorbs the vital energy of the host. After the host’s vital energy is drained, the host will die.
Y had only read about the Shadow Flower in some records in the Scripture Pavilion of his Master’s Sect; he found it interesting at the time, so he had even collected books on it. Sadly, as most of the inheritance of the One of the Mountain Arts had been lost, let alone details about the Shadow Flower, even records of the One of the Mountain Arts were scarce.
However, since the Shadow Flower was a technique that had been lost, how could it appear in him?
Who had planted this flower in him?
And why implant it inside his body?
Could it be that he was the Chosen One, and thus the heavens had bestowed such a special treatment on him?!
Y’s face went from shocked to contemplative, from contemplative to gloomy, from gloomy to woeful, and finally from woeful to excited?
Gu Zhiqi watched his changing expressions, a hint of curiosity flickering in his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged, and he lazily said, "The flower planted inside you is Citrus Smoke Flower."
So, Citrus Smoke is actually a flower, not a brand of cigarettes.
"What kind of flower is that?"
Y only knew that there was a Mystical Art called Shadow Technique in the One of the Mountain Arts, but he knew nothing more detailed about the Shadow Flower.
"How much do you know about the classifications of the Shadow Flower?" Gu Zhiqi asked, looking at Y curiously.
Y shook his head: "I don’t know."
There are classifications for the Shadow Flower?
Gu Zhiqi stared at Y, silent for three seconds, then spoke, "Shadow Flower is a general term; Citrus Smoke Flower is one of its classifications. Does that make sense to you?"
Seeing Y’s confused face, a hint of suspicion flashed through Gu Zhiqi’s eyes. Was he really a disciple of the Mysterious Sect?
It felt like playing music to a cow.
"Just when Gu Zhiqi was feeling doubtful, the voice of Chubby Chiu in his mind spoke.
Gu Zhiqi understood then and said, "Find the information on the Shadow Technique and send it to me."
Too lazy to explain, better just send the information.
"Alright!" Chubby Chiu agreed, then went to find the information.
"Master Zhezhi, is there really still hope for me?" Y looked eagerly at Gu Zhiqi, with a tinge of anxiety coloring the depths of his eyes.
Although Gu Zhiqi said she could save him, Y could not help but seek confirmation again.
What is the Shadow Flower?
It’s the Death Flower of legends.
Anyone who has undergone the Shadow Technique and been implanted with the Shadow Flower is doomed to die.
Having been implanted with the Death Flower in his body, if he didn’t die, he would feel like he really was the Chosen One.
