“Withered?”
He Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, then he took the flower the other party handed him with some confusion.
“Yes, it must be because the Fairy left, and the Hall of Hundred Flowers missed her.”
Du Linhui immediately nodded and then said joyfully, “Brother He, why don’t you stay a few more days? Since the Baihua Fairy appeared today, she might continue to appear later.”
“Brother He, wait a little longer, maybe you’ll be able to see the Baihua Fairy!”
Du Linhui felt that since he had seen the Baihua Fairy, He Xiuyuan should also be able to see her if he waited a little longer.
However, He Xiuyuan listened to these words, looked at the flower in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
Because he discovered that the withered flower had almost all of its essence absorbed, which led to its wilting.
It should be known that He Xiuyuan had used Spiritual Qi to make these hundred flowers bloom last night.
With the nourishment of Spiritual Qi, these flowers would not wither so easily.
Now, the flower had indeed withered, and its essence had almost dissipated.
Looking at it, one could tell it must have been absorbed.
This so-called Baihua Fairy was probably some kind of demon, not the fellow Dao cultivator he was looking for.
Of course, He Xiuyuan had no prejudice against demons.
It was just that her Cultivation Technique was clearly not the same path as his.
Since she was not a fellow Dao cultivator, there seemed to be no need to meet her.
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan’s impression of this Baihua Fairy also faded at this moment.
“No, I’ll be leaving soon. There’s no need to see this Baihua Fairy.”
Listening to Du Linhui’s words, He Xiuyuan put the withered flower aside and shook his head.
“Why? Brother He, you’ve been waiting here for many days. Now that there’s a trace of the Baihua Fairy, why won’t you see her?”
Hearing He Xiuyuan’s words, everyone present was stunned for a moment, then they quickly asked.
He felt that if He Xiuyuan waited a little longer, he should be able to see this Baihua Fairy.
However, He Xiuyuan shook his head helplessly upon hearing this.
“This Baihua Fairy Cultivates by seizing the creation of heaven and earth and invading the mysteries of the sun and moon. She is not on the same path as me, so there is naturally no need to meet her.”
This kind of Cultivation Technique is intolerable to gods and ghosts.
He Xiuyuan did not say the last sentence aloud.
From He Xiuyuan’s many years of Cultivation, he could vaguely sense that this path was incorrect.
Although he hadn't seen how the other party cultivated, He Xiuyuan could tell from the withered flowers.
This Baihua Fairy extracted all the essence of these hundred flowers to improve her Dao cultivation, which was truly a crude method.
This was why the hundred flowers withered immediately after she left.
And according to Wu Fangyu and others, the flowers in the Hall of Hundred Flowers were only most beautiful when they first bloomed, which suggests that this Baihua Fairy does this every year.
If that’s the case, it’s better not to see this Baihua Fairy.
Du Linhui found He Xiuyuan’s words a bit strange.
He didn't understand what He Xiuyuan meant by those words.
Why would meeting a Baihua Fairy involve seizing the creation of heaven and earth?
Du Linhui was puzzled, but at this moment, he didn't know what to say.
After the meal ended, He Xiuyuan picked up his luggage and oil-paper umbrella, cupped his hands to the others, and smiled.
“Gentlemen, we shall meet again if fate allows.”
With that, He Xiuyuan stepped out the door and disappeared into the crowd in a moment, looking very uninhibited.
Du Linhui slowly came back to his senses at this moment, “Did you all understand what Brother He meant just now?”
As he spoke, his gaze turned to the others.
Wu Fangyu and the others all shook their heads; they couldn't understand those words at all.
However, among the few people, a woman wearing a light yellow dress embroidered with autumn chrysanthemums thought for a moment and said,
“I don’t know why, but it feels like Young Master He, who was initially very interested in the Baihua Fairy, seemed to become somewhat less interested just now.”
“In fact, he even seemed to look down on her a bit.”
The woman said this, tilting her head slightly with a puzzled expression.
To be honest, she didn't understand why she had such a feeling.
The other party was the legendary Baihua Fairy, and He Xiuyuan actually looked down on her?
The others were also stunned when they heard this, then their hearts were filled with suspicion.
It seems… He Xiuyuan indeed had such an attitude just now?
“Then what should we do?”
Du Linhui thought for a moment and asked his friends beside him.
Most of the flowers in the Hall of Hundred Flowers had withered; honestly, it wasn't as beautiful as last night.
“We’ve already extended our rooms, let’s just stay one more night and then leave,” Wu Fangyu said with a sigh.
For some reason, after hearing He Xiuyuan’s words, his original idea of staying a few more days had largely dissipated.
Seeing this, the others all nodded in agreement.
Staying one more night was fine, so they might as well stay one more night.
........
“This isn’t right… It wasn’t like this when I Cultivated before, but why did I feel my Dao cultivation advance by leaps and bounds this time when I Cultivated?”
At this moment, in a forest outside Bibo Prefecture.
The Baihua Fairy sat on a tree branch, carefully sensing the surging Dao cultivation within her body.
Over the years, she had relied on the Hall of Hundred Flowers, absorbing the essence of the hundred flowers to improve her Dao cultivation.
At first, the speed of her Dao cultivation improvement was quite good, but after a few years, the speed of her Cultivation clearly decreased.
Now, she even felt that her Dao cultivation was very difficult to improve.
But why did her Dao cultivation instantly soar during Cultivation today?
There must be a problem here!
Thinking of this, the Baihua Fairy quickly pondered in her mind, unwilling to miss any detail.
“My Cultivation Technique is still the same, with no changes.”
“If there’s any change that’s different from before, it’s these flowers.”
“The flowers that bloomed this year were not at the time I expected, they bloomed early, and when I was Cultivating, the essence extracted from these flowers also contained a large amount of Spiritual Qi.”
“This is the difference!”
In an instant, the Baihua Fairy realized what was wrong.
Recalling it now, her beautiful eyes widened immediately.
It seemed that when she went to the Hall of Hundred Flowers tonight, she heard someone say that after someone called her name in the Hall of Hundred Flowers,
She wasn't called forth, but the Hall of Hundred Flowers was made to bloom.
Could it be because of this person?!
To make all the flowers bloom, this person… is truly amazing!
