Chapter 863: Chapter 863: Phantom Blossom

Su Chengyu originally thought that the woman in black was from the Nine Ancient Tribes, but upon hearing her name, he dismissed the idea, since there was no Lin Shi among the Nine Ancient Tribes, unless the woman in black was lying and using a fake name.

"Come, let me first help you dissolve the seal."

Su Chengyu no longer dwelt on Lin An’s identity, as it was irrelevant to him.

Lin An and Su Chengyu sat opposite each other on the ground, palms facing each other, while Su Chengyu’s mana entered Lin An’s body. Indeed, he found a greyish-green power entwined in all her meridians, which restricted the flow of mana, and this sealing power extended along the meridians all the way to a congregation in Lin An’s Dantian.

Lin An’s mana was not only sealed, but her Divine Sense was too. The gate of her Domain of Consciousness must also have been sealed by that power, rendering her unable to open it.

Su Chengyu immediately activated his mana to clear away this sealing power, but it rebounded instantly, proving exceptionally stubborn.

It was as if cancer cells were resisting treatment; Su Chengyu found that his mana could not overcome this sealing power and had to increase his effort. Lin An struggled to withstand it, emitting pained whimpers, and Su Chengyu had no choice but to withdraw his mana.

"This Qingming Sealing Technique is too strong, and mana is difficult to resolve it," Su Chengyu said.

Lin An’s complexion turned pale; if the sealing technique was irredeemable, then her trial journey was akin to being over, not to mention the dangers within the Kunwu Realm.

"I underestimated the Qingming Demon Tree’s sealing technique; it seems truly impossible to resolve with mana. We must resort to an Elixir," Lin An said helplessly.

"Then do you know which Elixir can resolve the Qingming Sealing Technique?" Su Chengyu asked.

Lin An nodded and said, "Barrier Breaking Pill."

Barrier Breaking Pill was not unknown to Su Chengyu; the Shangdan Jing contained records of it. This pill specialized in breaking various sealing spells, but Su Chengyu did not know if the Barrier Breaking Pill would work on seals from other races, given the Qingming Demon Tree’s sealing technique differed from ordinary ones.

"I am aware of the Barrier Breaking Pill, but I do not have all the ingredients needed to concoct it," he said.

Su Chengyu’s storage ring contained many ingredients, some of which were needed for the Barrier Breaking Pill, but he was still missing three.

"Which ingredients do you lack?" Lin An quickly asked, her hopes now resting solely on Su Chengyu.

"Phantom Blossom, Snake Spirit Herb, and Dragon Vitality Ginseng. These three are quite rare and difficult to find in the outside world, but they should be available in the Kunwu Realm, albeit requiring some effort to locate," Su Chengyu said.

Lin An said, "I know where to find Phantom Blossom and Snake Spirit Herb. I have seen both in the Kunwu Realm but did not deem them worthy to pick."

"Oh..."

Su Chengyu responded indifferently with a word, as he was not keen on accompanying Lin An to search for alchemy ingredients, which would be a waste of time. He was in the Kunwu Realm to cultivate, and gathering ingredients for the Barrier Breaking Pill would inevitably consume much time.

Lin An was a clever person and could tell from Su Chengyu’s attitude, but right now, she could only depend on Su Chengyu.

"Su Chengyu, please help me," Lin An implored. "I promise I won’t go back on my word about the ten Creation Pills. I know everyone comes to the Kunwu Realm seeking opportunities to enhance their strength, but I really have no other options right now. Besides the Creation Pills I promised, if you have any other demands, feel free to ask."

Lin An spoke to Su Chengyu in a pleading tone.

Su Chengyu remained silent, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

"All right, for the sake of ten Creation Pills, I will do my best to help you. Since you know the whereabouts of the Phantom Blossom and the Snake Spirit Herb, let’s go find these two herbs first, and then look for the Dragon Vitality Ginseng," Su Chengyu agreed.

"Thank you, I’ll remember this favor. Once we are out of the Kunwu Realm, if you ever find yourself in trouble, I will definitely help you," Lin An said.

"No need to thank me, ten Creation Pills are too tempting. Anyone would probably agree to help you; who made you so generous?" Su Chengyu said with a grin.

Lin An shook his head, "The world is dangerous and hearts are unpredictable. Others might not be worthy of trust and could harbor ill intentions towards me."

"Everyone says not to flaunt wealth. Aren’t you afraid I might harbor ill intentions, being so generous?" asked Su Chengyu.

"You won’t. I trust you," Lin An said seriously.

"Fine, now tell me the exact locations of the Phantom Blossom and the Snake Spirit Herb, and let’s set off while it’s still night," Su Chengyu got straight to the point.

"The Phantom Blossom is in the Misty Swamp, close to the edge of the Dark Forest. The Snake Spirit Herb is in the Snake Tribe’s dwelling, the Spiritual Snake Desert in the northern area. Both places are quite dangerous."

Lin An had been to both places; the Phantom Blossom grew near the lair of the Phantom Spiders, nurtured by the saliva of the spiders. In the outside world, the Beasts were eradicated by the Demon Slayer Department, and the Phantom Spiders had almost become extinct, making the Phantom Blossom exceedingly difficult to find, available only in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The Spider Emperor of the Phantom Spiders was at the Demon Emperor Stage, equivalent to the Human Clan’s Nascent Soul Realm strongholds.

The Snake Tribe was a breed from another dimension, much like the Sky Feather Clan. They were subjugated in the Kunwu Realm by the Kunwu Immortal who traversed dimensions. After thousands of years of development, they became a native tribe within the Kunwu Realm. The Snake people, with human upper bodies and snake tails, are formidable and reside in the desert of the northern area.

"The Spider Emperor is at the Demon Emperor Stage. Do you think I’m capable of dealing with it with my strength?" Su Chengyu asked with a wry smile.

"The last Spider Emperor is already dead, now there is only a Spider King, at the Demon King Stage," Lin An said.

"Was the Spider Emperor killed by you?"

Lin An shook his head, "It is said to be killed by a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect. I only discovered the Phantom Blossom when passing by this place on my way to the Dark Forest; I did not encounter the Phantom Spiders."

"Even a Spider King is too much for me; I’m only at the Tongxuan Realm," said Su Chengyu.

Lin An knew it was extremely dangerous for Su Chengyu to go to such a place, but there was no other way as the Phantom Blossom could only be harvested there.

"The Spider King is usually cultivating, and it should be laying eggs recently, so it won’t come out easily. However, there are still many other Phantom Spiders, so there’s definitely a risk. If you really don’t want to take the risk, I won’t force you," Lin An said.

Su Chengyu was silent for a moment and then said, "Forget it. Undergoing trials in the Kunwu Realm inherently means facing various dangers. Let’s head out immediately, get the Phantom Blossom, and then rush to the northern area."

Lin An thanked him again. If Su Chengyu really decided to back out due to danger, Lin An would have actually lost respect for him.

Cultivators without a spirit of adventure would hardly make it far on this defiant path against the heavens.

Su Chengyu and Lin An left the cave, and the outside was pitch black. In the Kunwu Realm, there is a moon, but once the night falls, everything turns pitch black.

After observing for a while at the entrance of the cave and noticing no abnormalities, Su Chengyu used The Cloud Rising Technique, taking Lin An with him as they flew towards the direction of the Dark Forest.
