The luster on the Purple Flower gradually receded until it returned to calm.
The Soul Binding Flower has a long blooming period, but it can also be very short.
A Soul Binding Flower that hasn’t bound any souls will only live for three years.
However, a Soul Binding Flower that has bound a soul can live much longer.
For Mysterious Sect Disciples, the Soul Binding Flower can be used to contain Evil Spirits, such as dealing with Malicious Ghosts and Resentful Spirits that they cannot handle.
Besides, the Soul Binding Flower is also a Life-hanging Divine Herb; for those on the brink of death, consuming the Soul Binding Flower can extend their life for seven days.
Whether capturing Evil Spirits or using it to extend life, it all must be done within the blooming period.
But the normal blooming period of the Soul Binding Flower isn’t long, only three years. Once the three years pass, the Soul Binding Flower will wither and become a pile of fertilizer.
To maintain the Soul Binding Flower’s bloom for an extended period, it is necessary to have it bind with a soul body.
This method of preserving the bloom is generally known only to members of the Mysterious Sect.
Righteous Mystic Masters naturally wouldn’t arbitrarily use a soul body to prolong the bloom but would seek out Malicious Ghosts and Resentful Spirits.
Originally, Gu Zhiqi was still considering whether to nurture the Soul Binding Flower or not.
Now that there was a soul body in the flower to maintain the Soul Binding Flower’s bloom, Gu Zhiqi didn’t need to think about it anymore.
She raised her hand, grasped at the Soul Binding Flower in the air, seized it in her hand, lowered her gaze to carefully examine it, and then put the flower away.
After putting away the flower, Gu Zhiqi turned her attention to Gu Mengyang and said, "Transfer the money."
Gu Mengyang: "Is it over?"
Seeing this, Gu Mengyang asked again, "Did Qiao Nan return to her own body?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded again.
"And Meng Xiao’s... soul?" As Gu Mengyang asked, he glanced around, afraid that Meng Xiao’s soul might still be lingering in the resting room.
After all, it was... quite eerie.
Gu Zhiqi did not respond to Gu Mengyang’s question, just silently stared at him.
Feeling unsettled by her gaze, Gu Mengyang silently turned his head to look behind him, "You... what are you looking at? It’s not behind me, right?"
As he spoke, Gu Mengyang silently moved a few steps closer to Gu Zhiqi.
Just as he was contemplating whether to hide behind Gu Zhiqi, he heard her speak.
"Transfer the money."
Letting out a long sigh, he fished out his mobile phone to make the transfer.
"This time it took a lot of time and effort, so double it, ten million." Seeing Gu Mengyang about to make the transfer, Gu Zhiqi spoke up.
"Okay." As soon as Gu Mengyang’s voice fell, Gu Zhiqi received the transfer notification.
Looking at the twenty million transfer, Gu Zhiqi slightly raised her eyebrows and glanced sideways at Gu Mengyang, "Thanks, second brother, and welcome back anytime."
He hoped never to encounter such a situation again, thank you.
"So, the reason for Meng Xiao’s death was?" As Gu Mengyang thought about Meng Xiao’s death, he looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked.
"I don’t know," Gu Zhiqi shook her head.
Meng Xiao’s soul body had no memory of it. However, it might have been someone from Angel or perhaps the Mystic Alliance.
Gu Zhiqi learned from Meng Xiao’s memory that she had learned the Soul Exchange Technique from a forbidden text originating from Angel.
With her actions, she was sure to be silenced by people from Angel.
As for the Mystic Alliance, it seemed they wanted to purge their ranks.
But all of this was just Gu Zhiqi’s speculation. The specifics would only be known after asking Qiao Nan.
Seeing Gu Zhiqi shake her head, Gu Mengyang fell silent.
