Chapter 1974

However, as soon as his figure entered the white fog, he immediately walked out of it.

Not only was the rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rushing towards him, but there was also a group of pavilions on the water in front of him.

Rows upon rows of picturesque pavilions were lined up on the water's surface. Countless emerald green round leaves covered the water's surface, and thumb-thick rhombus stems were raised high into the air. Pink, light green, light blue, pink white, vermilion, golden yellow, and other flowers of different sizes were floating around the galleries and pavilions, making Xiao Hua feel a little dizzy. Before Xiao Hua could even look around, a burst of 'ding dong ding dong', like the sound of clear spring water, flowed into his ears. A wave of refreshing and refreshing feeling instantly emerged from Xiao Hua's mind, and actually flowed down along his meridians. Soon, the zhenyuan in his meridians completed a large circulation, and the amount of Earth Crystal Yao Milk was actually more than twice as much as the one he had refined before!

"Excellent!" Xiao Hua was overjoyed and thought, "This manor lord's cultivation is probably even higher than Martial Uncle Gen Qing's!"

Unfortunately, it was only a single cycle. Although the zither music was pleasing to the ear and incomparably comfortable to listen to, it no longer had the effect of refining the Earth Crystal Yao Milk.

"Senior, this way please ~" A beautiful female cultivator walked out of the pavilion in front of Xiao Hua and said with a smile while bowing.

"Haha, thank you for your trouble ~" Xiao Hua nodded and took a few steps forward. The pavilion before his eyes was actually changing like a kaleidoscope. Numerous beautiful and young female cultivators wore clothes that were embroidered with gold and jade, and they either held jade plates, spirit fruits, or feathered fans made from the wings of spirit beasts in their hands as they shuttled back and forth in the pavilion. Giggles and whispers instantly filled Xiao Hua's eyes. The only thing that didn't change was the melodious zither sound that resounded from somewhere in the distance, yet as far as his eyes could see, there was no trace of it.

Xiao Hua followed the female cultivator all the way forward. The female cultivators he met all avoided him and bowed respectfully, calling him senior. The female cultivators each had their own merits. Xiao Hua was dazzled, but he still smiled and nodded slightly. He couldn't see anything in his eyes.

If he forced himself to say something, it would be envy in his eyes. Needless to say, with the formation of the Burial Flower Manor, the middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who went out to greet Xiao Hua, and the beautiful female cultivators in the pavilion, Xiao Hua knew that the manor lord of the Burial Flower Manor not only had an extraordinary cultivation, but also had an extraordinary background. He had cultivated for many years, but he didn't know when he would be able to reach such a height!

But after thinking about it, it wasn't as if he didn't have such an opportunity!

Let's take Tianmen Mountain as an example. Huang Tianle seemed to be entrusting him with all the arrays of Tianmen Mountain to him so that he could repair them. It was as if he was putting Tianmen Mountain in front of him!

Even if he was really just an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could easily take over the Heavenly Gate Mountain!

Well, taking a step back, he wasn't so shameless as to use the ambiguous relationship he had with Huang Mengxiang in his dream to take control of the Heavenly Gate Mountain, right?

However, not only did he not act according to Huang Tianle's plan and Huang Mengxiang's dream, he instead helped Huang Mang and Huang Mengxiang reach the Foundation Establishment stage. He taught all of the formation repair techniques to Huang Mengxiang and left with a flick of his sleeves!

Xiao Hua didn't think of himself as a saint, and he was greedy for a lot of small favors. But to be honest, he wasn't particularly interested in controlling a sect or a family. He felt that it was a burden, a burden. It was far from being alone, or traveling the world with the person he loved, free and unfettered!

"Forget it, I guess this young master isn't that kind of person who is obsessed with fame and craves for luxury!"

Xiao Hua thought clearly, and some of the admiration in his eyes disappeared. He only smiled and nodded, and his eyes were full of interest as he admired the scenery of the water.

Xiao Hua followed the female cultivator around who knows how many bends and walked past who knows how many unique pavilions. But from beginning to end, the elegant sound of the zither continued to linger in his ears, neither high nor low. Just as Xiao Hua felt a little strange and wanted to raise his eyes to look ahead, a huge water screen appeared in front of him. On the water screen, he saw a school of unknown colorful fish leisurely swimming back and forth, as if they were in midair.

"Senior, please ~" The female cultivator walked in front of the water curtain and didn't move forward. She smiled and said, "Senior, after passing through here, the Linlang Pavilion is in front. Forgive this junior for not being able to accompany you!"

"Hehe, thank you, Fellow Daoist!" He cupped his hands and stepped into the water curtain without hesitation.

"Whoosh." The sound of water echoed, as if he was walking in the lake. Xiao Hua even felt the pressure of the water around him, but his Daoist robe didn't have the slightest trace of water. Apart from an illusion, what else could it be?

The water curtain wasn't short. Xiao Hua walked no less than ten steps before he came out of the water curtain. What greeted him made him stunned. Previously, he was used to seeing gorgeous waterside pavilions of different styles. He originally thought that the manor master's place would be even more dazzling, but the waterside pavilion in front of him was completely woven out of emerald green bamboo that was as thick as a thumb.

However, when his gaze once again fell on the emerald green bamboo that was like amber, sparkling and translucent like jasper, he couldn't help but cry out in surprise in his heart, "Waterside Orchid Bamboo?"

Xiao Hua obviously didn't recognize Waterside Orchid Bamboo. The reason why he was able to call out the name of this bamboo was because he had the inherited memories of the Fire Ape and Chao Li from the Distant Past era in his mind, as well as the inheritance of ghost cultivators from Huang Yi. How could a name that came from these places be easy to recognize?

"Damn it ~ This kind of Distant Past era variant is the best material to refine wood-type magic tools. Unexpectedly … unexpectedly, someone used it to make a pavilion. If I didn't see it with my own eyes …" Xiao Hua sighed. "It seems that compared to this Burial Flower Manor, Tianmen Mountain's Huang Clan is like comparing a country bumpkin to generations of scholars!"

Xiao Hua knew that this Waterside Orchid Bamboo was not a simple bamboo. This bamboo contained rich wood-type spiritual energy that attracted a type of spiritual insect called Waterside Orchid. The Waterside Orchid was only the size of a baby's pinky nail and was emerald green in color. It liked the aura of Waterside Orchid Bamboo the most and also liked to attach itself to this bamboo. From the time a Waterside Orchid Bamboo was born, it was unknown how many Waterside Orchids would attach themselves to it. And after these Waterside Orchids attached themselves to the bamboo, they would no longer move. Even after they died, their bodies would crystallize and become one with the Waterside Orchid Bamboo.

Therefore, Waterside Orchid Bamboo was the best material to refine magic tools. In the Distant Past era, there were many famous wood-type magic tools that were refined from Waterside Orchid Bamboo. It was also because of this that many almighty people used their various magical abilities to obtain these Waterside Orchid Bamboo. This thing was like the Mirage Butterfly, it had long since disappeared from the Dawn Rain Continent. If Xiao Hua didn't obtain some memories from the Distant Past era, he would've definitely treated this strange looking bamboo as an ordinary object!

Since he knew the rarity of Waterside Orchid Bamboo, Xiao Hua had a bit of expectation towards the Manor Master of Burial Flower Manor. Presumably, he would be able to obtain the Sky Yin Grass from this person.

Unfortunately, although the Linlang Pavilion was right in front of him, the situation inside was blurry. Only as Xiao Hua approached step by step, did his field of vision gradually become clear.

This was a pavilion that faced the lake on all four sides. It didn't look any different from what he usually saw. At the end of the pavilion, there was a female cultivator wearing plain clothes who was bending over and playing the Nine String Zither. Because her head was lowered, he couldn't see her face clearly. However, her beautiful, pitch-black hair that was like a cloud was coiled up high on top of her head. Along with the sound of the zither, her hair slightly trembled. Just like this, it was as if that trembling had grabbed onto Xiao Hua's heart, attracting all of his attention to the female cultivator's body!

The sound of "Si" only lasted for a moment before Xiao Hua realized that he had forgotten himself. He used God's Guidance and felt a burst of coolness in his heart. He sucked in a breath of cold air and promptly shifted his gaze away, looking all around.

There were only a few people in the pavilion. In addition to the female cultivator sitting cross-legged on a praying mat and playing the zither, there were four female cultivators who were slightly older. These four female cultivators were dressed differently. The colors of their clothes were also completely different. Some were light green, some were fiery red, some were azure, and some were snow-white. It seemed to be somewhat in line with the colors of the four seasons.

These four female cultivators all had smiles on their faces. Their gazes were fixed on the female cultivator in the seat of honor, as if they didn't notice Xiao Hua's arrival at all.

"Late Foundation Establishment Realm …" Xiao Hua's gaze caught sight of them. His divine sense very naturally swept out. To his surprise, he discovered that the four female cultivators all had an astonishing cultivation base of late Foundation Establishment Realm. Thus, in his shock, he promptly withdrew his divine sense and very cleverly stood with his hands by his side. He lowered his head and opened his ears, carefully listening.

Xiao Hua didn't know anything about music. The only bit of knowledge he had was that he had heard of Gen Qing's flute. However, this female cultivator's zither sound was the same as Gen Qing's flute. They were both extremely pure. Xiao Hua could hear the high mountains and flowing water, the chirping of birds and the hissing of insects from the zither sound.

Even Xiao Hua could almost see the scene of a cheerful yet distressed young girl washing her muslin at the head of the stream in the spring.

"Zheng ~ ~" A light sound, like a sharp sword cutting through the spring sun, broke the tranquility and gentleness. The zither sound was unexpectedly cut off!

Xiao Hua raised his head in astonishment. He saw the female cultivator's slender and white fingers trembling in the air. Below her fingers, a zither string was like a frozen snake that had withered to the side.

"Villa Master …" The maid closest to the female cultivator was also astonished and said in a low voice.

"Sigh ~" Hearing the female cultivator's light sigh, that sound was so heartbreaking. Xiao Hua almost wanted to turn into a zither string and let the female cultivator continue to play. Don't be so heartbroken.

Following the female cultivator's light sigh, the female cultivator raised her head. Xiao Hua's gaze very naturally swept upwards. The moment he swept his gaze, the corner of his eyes unconsciously twitched. This female cultivator seemed to only be in her twenties, but her appearance was truly pure and lovely. Xiao Hua only saw her once and felt that she was like a celestial being.

Xiao Hua had previously seen many female cultivators, such as Xun Shu, Xue Xue, Hongxia Fairy, Huang Mengxiang, and so on. He originally thought that Hongxia Fairy's beauty was the only one in the entire Dawn Rain Continent. However, after seeing this female cultivator's beauty, he realized that the so-called snow-white plum blossom really had their own strengths!
