"Check your phone," Gu Zhiqi said as she forwarded the file Chubby Chiu sent to her phone to Y.
Upon hearing this, Y immediately pulled out his phone from his pocket and found that Gu Zhiqi had sent him a file.
Y quickly opened the file to read, which contained detailed information about the Shadow Flower. Holding his phone, he became engrossed, and as he read on, the shock on his face grew more and more evident.
Seeing Y’s reaction, Gu Yuluo grew curious and leaned towards Gu Zhiqi, "Send it to me too, will you?"
Gu Zhiqi glanced at her sidelong, "You’re not a Mysterious Sect Disciple, even if you read it, you won’t be able to learn it."
Mysterious Sect Techniques are already quite difficult to learn, and One of the Mountain Arts is the hardest among the Mystical Five Arts. Without exceptional talent, it’s impossible to master.
Therefore, when Chubby Chiu said that One of the Mountain Arts had been lost in this world, Gu Zhiqi wasn’t too surprised.
Even on Aquamarine Star, there were only a handful of people who had been able to master it.
"Just curious, let me have a look," Gu Yuluo insisted, and even gave Gu Zhiqi a wink.
Gu Zhiqi withdrew her gaze and then sent a copy of the file to Gu Yuluo before taking a seat on the stone bench under the banyan tree.
Gu Yuluo and Y also found stone benches to sit on.
With nothing else to do, Gu Yuluo too started to read the file Gu Zhiqi sent her. She didn’t quite understand all the specialized terms of the Mysterious Sect, but still managed to grasp a bit.
Eventually, Gu Yuluo could only conclude one thing, "This Shadow Technique is impressive—truly impressive, truly freaking impressive."
Until now, her impression of the Mysterious Sect was limited to fortune telling, divination, drawing talismans, geomancy, and that none had the strength to truss a chicken, but now she realized that there were incredibly powerful Offensive Techniques in the sect.
Properly applied, the Shadow Technique could be a terrifying offensive Mystical Art, capable of rivaling Advanced Ancient Martial Arts.
"Master, this Shadow Flower inside me, is it good or bad? And who... who planted it?" Y looked bewilderedly at Gu Zhiqi.
After reading the file given by Gu Zhiqi, Y felt like he had opened the door to a whole new world.
The information he had collected about the Shadow Flower had all labeled it as the Death Flower, a flower that devours Vital Energy from the body, Dooming anyone implanted with it to death.
But now he was uncertain.
Because the file mentioned that the Shadow Flower is divided into the Dark Series and Bright Series, with the Dark Series Shadow Flower consuming Yuan Force, whereas the Bright Series nurtures it.
There are several very special and difficult-to-cultivate types of Shadow Flower, including the Citrus Smoke, which falls into both the Dark and Bright Series.
According to the file, the conditions for implanting the Citrus Smoke Flower into the human body are extremely strict, the first of which is that it requires an Eighth-Rank Mystic Master to perform.
Eighth-Rank Mystic Master...
Do such Mystic Masters really exist in this world?
Consider that the most powerful Mystic Master in his Master’s Sect is only of the Fourth-order this year.
Not to mention his own sect, but in the history of the last five centuries, only once was there an Eighth-Rank Mystic Master, and that was five hundred years ago.
After that, there has never been a Mystic Master of the Fourth-order or higher in the Mysterious Sect.
So, could it be that the Eighth-Rank Mystic Master from five hundred years ago is still alive and planted this flower in his body?
It’s possible, but it doesn’t make sense.
He’s just an ordinary Mysterious Sect Disciple; how could he receive such special treatment from such a master?
Could it be that he is truly the Chosen One?
"Can you take my pulse?" A languid and indifferent voice asked Y while he was lost in thought.
