Chapter 294 The Flower of Forgetfulness
Ding Ding Ding!
In the woods, the sound of swords clashing echoed continuously.
Sparks flew in the darkness, highlighting the intensity of the battle.
The rapid and intense sounds of their swords clashing revealed just how fast they were.
The east wind blew again last night in the small building!
Seeing Gu Qianbei's strength, Li Lianhua immediately used her strongest sword move.
A fine, dense sword aura swept over, like a gentle breeze, but it concealed a terrifying killing move!
"Excellent swordsmanship!"
Gu Qianbei's eyes were full of admiration, and the sword in his hand, the Stop Cup Sword, shone brightly!
As the sword's tip coalesced, the golden characters of "Free and Easy Wandering" emerged.
The sky cleared after the snow!
Gu Qianbei condensed a golden sword talisman and set up an absolute defense around himself, blocking all the fine, wind-like sword energy.
"Um?"
Seeing this, Li Lianhua looked surprised.
I never expected that Gu Qianbei's defensive swordsmanship had reached such a level.
But it is clear that this move is not just a defensive sword technique.
After the east wind subsided last night, Gu Qianbei immediately manipulated the sword energy runes towards Li Lianhua.
The golden light illuminated the entire forest.
After being blessed by the Longevity Mantra, the power of the Golden Light Mantra increased greatly, and the Snow After Clearing skies spelled with the Golden Light Mantra also became much more powerful.
Faced with the rapidly approaching golden sword talisman, Li Lianhua immediately used the "Swaying Step" to dodge.
But there were just too many golden sword talismans; he couldn't dodge them all.
Left with no other choice, he could only channel his inner strength and use his sword to shatter all the incoming golden sword talismans!
Ding Ding Ding!
Each time a golden sword talisman shattered, Li Lianhua felt a slight weight on her right hand.
"What amazing power."
Li Lianhua sighed inwardly, marveling at the terrifying power of each strike.
Even if I were at 90% of my current strength, I probably still wouldn't be able to defeat this young man.
After shattering the last golden sword talisman, Li Lianhua quickly retreated using the Bosuo Step.
"I'm not playing anymore, I give up."
Li Lianhua spread his hands, even putting away the sword meant for slitting his own neck.
"Brother Li hasn't even used his full strength yet, why have you stopped fighting?"
Gu Qianbei asked in confusion.
"Please, I'm a patient who's just recovered from a serious illness. If you keep hitting me like this, I definitely won't be able to take it."
So, I might as well just admit defeat.
However, even if I were to fully recover my strength now, I probably still couldn't beat you.
How old are you? You're already so amazing.
If you had been there back then, I'm afraid I might not have been able to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.
Li Lianhua sighed.
"Back then, you were only twenty years old when you were already a late-stage Grandmaster. If it weren't for the poison of the Jade Tea, you would probably be a Celestial Realm expert by now."
"That's just hypothetical. Who could have imagined that I would be so unlucky as to be plagued by the poison of the green tea for ten years?"
"It's good enough that I can detoxify now; I can't even dream of breaking through to the Celestial Realm."
Li Lianhua said indifferently.
"Once you resolve your inner conflicts, breaking through the barriers between heaven and man will not be difficult for you."
These ten years have indeed been difficult for you in life, but they may not necessarily be a bad thing for your martial arts path.
With these ten years of mental tempering, your breakthrough to transcendence will surely be smooth sailing.
"Then I'll take your good wishes. Once I break through to the Celestial Realm, I'll have a proper battle with you."
I imagine that by then, you will surely be a Celestial Realm expert as well.
Li Lianhua smiled.
"That's natural."
The two exchanged a smile, both seeing the arrogance in each other's eyes.
They are all geniuses, so naturally they have absolute confidence in themselves.
For others, reaching the heavens is as difficult as ascending to the sky, but for them, it seems as casual as discussing what to eat tomorrow.
And this, ironically, is the truth.
After a brief exchange, both men felt quite pleased with themselves and drank together, finishing the entire jar of wine.
The next morning, the two went their separate ways.
"Brother Li, I wish you all the best on your journey ahead."
Gu Qianbei cupped his hands in greeting.
"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Gu."
Li Lianhua smiled slightly and drove the Lotus Tower away.
The poison from the green tea has been removed, and the truth has been revealed. What he wants to do along the way is to understand the grudges and grievances of the past.
With the grudges settled, Li Xiangyi will disappear from the martial arts world completely, leaving only Li Lianhua behind.
Watching Li Lianhua's departing figure, Gu Qianbei smiled with satisfaction.
"Then, I should go find the Forget-Flower Flower."
Several days later, in the Valley of Forgetfulness.
Gu Qianbei rode his black horse and arrived outside the valley.
"This should be it."
Gu Qianbei glanced around, then immediately put away the black horse and stepped into the valley.
The paths in the valley are not suitable for horseback riding; using light-footed skills is much more convenient and swift.
"The scenery here is quite nice."
With a carefree attitude, Gu Qianbei wandered through the Valley of Forgetfulness.
According to the pharmacopoeia, the growth of the Forget-River Flower requires the power of Yin and Yang. Yin is water and Yang is light. There is a stream in this valley, which satisfies the Yin requirement. What remains is light.
Following this river to the place where the sun shines most intensely, that should be where the Forgotten River Flowers grow.
Thinking this, Gu Qianbei lightly touched the ground with his foot and used the Lightning Speed Step to travel upstream along the river.
Within fifteen minutes, Gu Qianbei arrived at and saw a waterfall.
There is a protruding rock face above the waterfall. The rock face is not big, but a beautiful flower is bathed in sunlight.
"Found it, the Forget-Me-Not Flower!"
Gu Qianbei was overjoyed, never expecting to find the Forget-River Flower so easily.
He looked around the stone wall and found that there was almost no place to step.
All around are rushing waterfalls; if you step on them, you'll surely fall straight off the cliff.
Even if a rope were used, it would be extremely dangerous and difficult to get close.
"Tsk, it really does resemble the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain. No wonder no one picks it."
If ordinary people didn't know its value, they wouldn't take such a big risk to pick it.
Even if it's over, I'm afraid it will be hard to recover.
Gu Qianbei murmured to himself, then lifted his leg and walked upstairs.
An amazing scene unfolded!
Suddenly, the cup at Gu Qianbei's waist flew out and transformed into a golden longsword. Then, Gu Qianbei stepped on the sword and charged directly towards the stone wall.
Flying on a sword!
Gu Qianbei had already cultivated his skill in manipulating objects to the point where he could fly on a sword, so flying onto the stone wall was naturally no problem for him.
In a short while, he plucked the Forget-River Flower.
"As expected of the Forget-River Flower, its potent medicinal power is truly remarkable."
Gu Qianbei was overjoyed when suddenly, a giant python burst out from under the waterfall!
hiss!
The snake flicked its tongue, its mouth filled with a fishy smell, and its eyes were as large as red lanterns.
It opened its mouth and spat out, seemingly about to swallow Gu Qianbei whole.
"Um?"
Gu Qianbei was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected there to be a strange beast guarding this place.
It's related to the cultivation storyline.
Wrong movie set!
Despite his complaints, Gu Qianbei immediately activated the Stop Cup Sword to escape from the giant python's gaping maw.
call out!
A golden streak of light flashed past, and Gu Qianbei had already created distance between herself and the giant python.
"Great Serpent, I need to discuss something with you. Can I just leave?"
The giant python roared, clearly disagreeing.
"Alright, then don't blame me."
Gu Qianbei spread his hands, and his powerful internal energy began to surge.
