Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Swallowing the Sunflower!

"Then let’s begin!"

Lu Chen chuckled lightly and looked towards the Elder of Heavenly Medicine.

He did not understand how to consume the Nine Suns Flower, so he needed the Elder of Heavenly Medicine to keep an eye on the process.

"Mu Xiao," the Elder of Heavenly Medicine said, "first, blow out the candles."

"Blow out the candles? Why?"

Mu Xiao was startled. Wasn’t cultivating supposed to be done with the lights on, so that if there were any issues, they could be more easily resolved?

"The Nine Suns Flower, a flower of extreme yang, and the number nine is also associated with extreme yang... later on, your body will become very hot, likely even burning your clothes. So..."

Hearing the Elder of Heavenly Medicine’s explanation, Mu Xiao’s face suddenly changed!

She knew that Lu Chen could see in the dark!

Wasn’t this...

The same as having her body completely exposed to Lu Chen?

She glanced over from the corner of her eye and sure enough, she found that Lu Chen’s face had also turned suddenly red, clearly having thought of the same thing.

The Elder of Heavenly Medicine thought that Mu Xiao was just feeling shy, so he comforted her with a smile, "Once the light is out, you can’t see. Plus, Lu Chen is a cultivator. There might not necessarily be any problems with the Nine Suns Flower!"

"This..."

Mu Xiao bit her lip, initially thinking of refusing, but for some reason ended up agreeing.

"Alright!"

Her red lips parted slightly as she blew out the candle flame and sat down on the bed.

Lu Chen touched his nose and muttered to himself about not looking at anything inappropriate, telling himself that he was already married to Qin Yaotiao and similar thoughts.

The Elder of Heavenly Medicine, who heard nothing, said to Mu Xiao, "As I have already said, the Nine Suns Flower is extremely yang, and the nine blossoms correspond to your nine meridians! So, Mu Xiao, you need to swallow all nine blossoms in one go! Then, the extreme yang medicinal power from the Nine Suns Flower will rush into your nine meridians separately! If you’re worried about getting too hot later, you can take off your clothes now!"

To prevent any misunderstanding, the Elder of Heavenly Medicine added, "Don’t worry, I am old and won’t entertain improper thoughts towards you. Lu Chen, although you are young, you also need to control yourself to avoid disrupting Mu Xiao’s breakthrough!"

Lu Chen said with a wry smile, "Elder Zhao, may I wait outside the room then?"

The Elder of Heavenly Medicine shook his head, "No! Although ancient texts claim that the success rate of the Nine Suns Flower’s breakthrough is very high, just to be safe, it is best for you to stay here. If there is an emergency, you’ll be able to protect Mu Xiao’s heart meridian in time!"

Seeing the Elder of Heavenly Medicine insist, Lu Chen had no choice but to sit down.

Compared to anything else, Mu Xiao’s breakthrough was more important!

And he knew Mu Xiao’s character well; she would understand him and wouldn’t blame him for anything.

"Mu Xiao, are you ready?"

After the Elder of Heavenly Medicine entered the room, he had already placed nine jade boxes close to the edge of the bed, within Mu Xiao’s easy reach.

"Yes, Elder Zhao!"

Mu Xiao took a deep breath, slightly loosened her belt, and the clothes slid straight off her shoulders, leaving only the undergarment on her in the blink of an eye.

Lu Chen’s mouth was dry, and despite having been through such experiences, he knew that in this dark environment, he might not be able to stop himself from feeling differently.

He quickly closed his eyes.

Lu Chen could see her, but she could not see him. She slowly reached behind her back and untied the knot on her undergarment.

Feeling a cool sensation on her chest, Mu Xiao’s heart tightened.

"Mu Xiao, are you ready? If you’re ready, open the jade boxes and swallow the nine Nine Suns Flowers at the same time!"

Mu Xiao knew this was the most critical moment, and if she didn’t calm down now, she was likely to develop inner demons and encounter even greater trouble later on.

She took another deep breath and carefully reached forward.

As a martial artist, she opened all nine jade boxes almost simultaneously with one move.

Whoosh—

A faint spiritual light from the Nine Suns Flowers lit up the dark room!

Mu Xiao was startled and almost knocked the nine jade boxes off the bed.

After finally stabilizing herself, she saw that the Elder of Heavenly Medicine seemed to have known this would happen and had kept his eyes closed the entire time.

Feeling somewhat calmer, she then looked at Lu Chen and found that his eyes were tightly shut, which made her feel an inexplicable sense of loss.

Was Lu Chen...

Keeping his eyes closed the whole time?

This thought flashed through her mind briefly, and Mu Xiao gathered her spirits, following the Elder of Heavenly Medicine’s instructions, she stuffed all nine Nine Suns Flowers into her mouth at once.

The spiritual light disappeared, and the room was plunged back into darkness.

The Nine Suns Flower melted as soon as it entered her mouth, and a surge of extreme yang heat swiftly filled her mouth!

"Mmm!"

Mu Xiao couldn’t help but moan, and Lu Chen, thinking something was wrong, abruptly opened his eyes in the darkness!
