Chapter 573 Unexpected Gain, Extreme Yin Generates Yang

The Ghost Flower is actually a variety of orchid with a unique appearance. It is pure white and almost transparent, but upon closer inspection, it also has a faint blue hue. The petals are slender and without threads, the stem has no leaves, and the stamens emit a faint white fluorescence like fireflies.

It often grows in cemeteries, mostly underground, and only emerges from the ground at specific times. Moreover, this flower is extremely difficult to grow and is rarely seen.

In the dark, it emits a white light, hence the folk name "flower of the underworld" that has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life. Of course, this is just popular hype, but there is a basis for its medicinal use, especially since it is difficult to cultivate, making it quite precious as a medicinal material.

However, on the rock wall at the edge of this corpse pit, a patch of ghost flowers grew, porcelain white and crystal clear, emitting a faint, strange fragrance.

Lang Jiuchuan flashed and stood on a protruding rock on the cliff. He reached out and picked a ghost flower. Nourished by such a dense aura of Yin Sha and death, they grew so tenaciously, and each one was of excellent quality. Did that mean that they were not afraid of this aura of death?

Looking at the crystal-clear flowers in front of her, an old saying suddenly came to mind: "A highly poisonous substance will have a nemesis within seven steps." Although it is a folk saying, it is also the wisdom of all living things that have gained through continuous experimentation and survival experience, which is why this saying has been passed down.
Does that mean that the ghost flower can be used as medicine to detoxify corpse poison and miasma?
As her fingertips touched the petals, a surge of extremely yin energy flowed through her, which then transformed into yang energy, causing her heart to tremble.

Extreme Yin gives rise to Yang!

She stared intently at the shimmering white light within the flower's stamen, pure and translucent, like a purified life force. Her breathing quickened, and a thought flashed through her mind like lightning.

Ghost flower is used in medicine.

This corpse poison is extremely yin and evil, and incredibly domineering. Ordinary yang-tonifying medicines, such as cinnabar and mugwort, can ward off evil spirits, and when a living person drinks them, the poisoned person will not bite or drink their blood. However, they cannot eradicate the corpse poison for those who have already been poisoned; they can only alleviate the symptoms and restore their consciousness. For those with severe illnesses like Dazhu, although the pain is reduced considerably, the interaction between the already corroded internal organs and the medicine is like a dose of potent and dangerous medicine, which is both fierce and strong, making it difficult to control their life force.

But this ghost flower is different. It grows in the most yin and resentful places. It can neutralize, contain, and even absorb the evil poison of corpses. As the saying goes, things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes. Extreme yin can generate yang. The faint white light in the flower's stamen may be the life force that can suppress and eradicate the poison of corpses. It is also a characteristic of this flower that can be used as medicine.

Otherwise, how could it be said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life? Perhaps it is this vitality that revitalizes decay.

Lang Jiuchuan thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible. Her clear eyes shone brightly. She had to go back and try it. If this flower could really be used as medicine, then the corpse poison could be cured.

"Jiang Che, these ghost flowers are probably medicinal and can cure this corpse poison plague. We need to harvest them all and try them out. Go and get a few large, thick leaves." Lang Jiuchuan didn't have a box on her to seal the flower's spiritual energy, but sealing it wasn't difficult. Using plants as a box, she could use a spirit-locking spell to keep it fresh.

Jiang Che hadn't expected such an unexpected gain, and immediately left.

Lang Jiuchuan set up a small array in this area to prevent the chaotic sea of ​​fire from spreading here and destroying these ghost flowers, which would be a case of good intentions gone wrong.

While setting up the formation, two dark black serpents that were hibernating were disturbed. Sure enough, good things are guarded by living beings, even evil ones.

Jiang Che quickly returned with a few banana leaves in his mouth. Lang Jiuchuan simply wove a leaf box before starting to pick and store the ghost flowers.

She moved quickly, picking several ghost flowers in no time, leaving three on the rock face.

Lang Jiuchuan sealed the box containing the Ghost Flower with a spirit-locking spell, and didn't let Jiang Che leave, fearing that it might encounter an accident if it went back alone, and that the Ghost Flower would be destroyed. She quietly waited for the Corpse Demon to return to its lair!

"Do you think this Corpse Demon will come? Judging from what they said, this Corpse Demon can transform into a living person to bewitch people. Ordinary people can't even tell that there's a White Bone Demon under her skin. She should have sentience and intelligence. If she senses that her lair has been destroyed, will she come back to die?" Jiang Che squatted down beside her and said, "Do you think this corpse pit was created? Could it be that old monster Tantai Wuji?"

Lang Jiuchuan said, “I don’t know, but did you see that coffin? It’s in the eye of the array, nourished by the Yin energy of the earth veins and the resentment of death, waiting for the right moment. When the corpse demon emerges from the coffin, it will wreak havoc on the world, reaping the life force and destiny of all people. Who will benefit after that? Moreover, don’t you feel a sense of familiarity? It’s like when I was suppressed in the eye of the imperial mausoleum array, nourishing something and the dragon vein. Could this Luo Zheng, nourished by that corpse miasma, be a killing weapon? The effects of our suppression are different, but we are both advancing towards a certain goal, aren’t we? Oh no, this Luo Zheng is probably a pure Yin body!”

Only a body with pure Yin energy can exert its greatest potential!

Jiang Che hesitated for a moment, then said, "But this goes against what he said about wanting Da Dan to be stable and for the country to prosper. To put it bluntly, if this corpse poison cannot be cured or contained, then the entire Da Dan will be a living hell. In that case, what kind of national fortune can we talk about? The country will be destroyed!"

Lang Jiuchuan's cold gaze swept into the void as he said, "That's why I had Gong Si convey my message to the Holy Maiden, asking him to step forward and save the world. It was a test. If he comes to save the world, the people should be safe and sound, and he can further reap a wave of faith and blessings, even if this self-directed drama is just like the Pan City incident. If he doesn't come, then this is exactly what he wants. If it's the latter, then his millennium-long plan is probably nearing its end!"

"ending?"

"That's right. If he finishes up, it will prove that the opportune time, the right place, or the right people that he has been waiting for have matured. He will go all out and either form a core to become an immortal or become the master of this world! In this way, to ensure that the plan develops smoothly according to his plan, the vitality and fortune of this large number of living beings will be his powerful protective shield."

Jiang Zhi was horrified.

If that's the case, then he really needs a catastrophe to reap this life force, such as the current corpse plague!

"That corpse demon..."

"She probably won't be able to come." Lang Jiuchuan stood up, watching the corpse pit being burned by the Chaos Fire. The countless white bones had turned to ashes, and even the resentment of death had gradually disappeared, losing its wondrous effect.

“The Corpse Demon, this deadly weapon, has already been created. Since it was artificially catalyzed, it can be manipulated. So we won’t let her die in vain, but instead—accelerate the spread of the plague!” Lang Jiuchuan’s expression darkened, and he said, “Let’s go, let’s hurry back and develop an antidote.”

At this moment, Gong Tinglan sent another message, saying that the aura of the corpse demon had changed course and headed north, just as expected.

At the same time, a message was received from Gong Si that the Imperial Preceptor was in seclusion praying for the well-being of all people and had only issued a mysterious decree, requesting the Buddhist and Taoist sects to relieve the plague and alleviate suffering!

A surge of malevolence rose in Lang Jiuchuan's chest. He stared at the heavens for a long time, thinking, "Heaven has no eyes, I will take it!"

　Science Time: The claim that there are antidotes within seven steps of a highly toxic substance has no scientific basis and is only for fictional reference; please do not write it as reality!
