Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 105 Commander-Level Long Night Flower

Bai Mo did not choose to take action, but instead released a dimensional summoning to summon the Wind Spirit.

Using summoning-based combat more often will help improve your summoning skills.

As soon as Feng Ling appeared, Bai Mo told her about the mission.

"Whoosh!" With a soft murmur, Feng Ling soared high into the air, and a bluish-white wind slowly gathered around her.

Fine strands of wind, like harp strings, gently brushed across the slumbering flowers. Though the wind strands were thin, they were formed from countless gusts of wind, possessing immense power and sharpness.

After the wind had completely swept across the area, a tall blade of grass snapped at the root and fell to the ground.

Then came more grass, followed by the deep sleep flowers. They were originally upright, but now they were all broken off at the roots, like dominoes that had been toppled.

They were poured down piece by piece at an extremely fast speed.

Lingling looked at the little wind spirit with amazement; wind magic was originally wild and crude.

Like a wind-blown weapon, it delivers a sustained attack on a large group of enemies. The tearing and cutting effects of the wind rely on the accumulation of quantity.

Therefore, very few wind mages can combine the gentleness and power of the wind like Little Wind Spirit, using it with the precision of scissors cutting paper.

"Hoo~" Feng Ling slowly landed and spun around in front of Bai Mo, as if to say, "Am I amazing?"

"Feng Ling is the most powerful." Bai Mo praised, and led the two forward to collect the Deep Sleep Flowers.

Medicines made from Deep Sleep Flower are generally associated with inducing sleep, relieving pain, and numbing.

I wonder what the military is preparing to do with so many Deep Sleep Flowers.

With Ding Yumin, a master of spiritual cultivation, Bai Mo and his companions encountered virtually no demons while traversing the wilderness.

Before long, they had harvested most of the Sleeping Flowers in the wild near Shanghai. Then, following the distribution map of Sleeping Flowers made by Lingling, the three of them arrived at a small town called Qingxi Town.

"This town is strange. It's the town furthest from Shanghai. To its east is a field of Deep Sleeping Flowers, yet this town has existed for a long time and has rarely been attacked by demons."

Lingling told the two of them what she had found out about Qingxi Town. The three of them went straight into the town and found it to be peaceful and serene. Without stopping, they walked through the town and headed east.

On the side of the street, a middle-aged woman with a natural demeanor stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the rooftop. She watched Bai Mo and his two companions speed into Central Avenue and disappear at the end of the street. She frowned and called out to them.

"Xiao Lian."

As soon as the words fell, a tall, slender woman with an elegant demeanor appeared out of nowhere. Her voice was clear and bright, "What is it, Mother-in-law?"

"Go for a walk in the flower grove, and if you see anyone who has fainted, bring them back."

"good!"

Xiao Lian agreed readily; as soon as she uttered a single word, her entire presence vanished from the room.

The Deep Sleep Flower was neither too far nor too close to Qingxi Town, so Bai Mo and his companions arrived there in no time.

Looking out from south to north, the flower forest filled the entire field of vision.

There were huge patches of them, and I didn't know exactly how many there were or how much area they covered.

Lingling had only heard from the hunters that there was a large area of ​​Deep Sleep Flowers here, while Ding Yumin and Bai Mo had only heard about it from Lingling today.

They all thought that a large area was about the size of a football field, since they had previously encountered a patch of Deep Sleeping Flowers that covered most of a football field.

Little did I know, this vast expanse was a sea of ​​deep-sleeping flowers, stretching as far as the eye could see, with the sky a pale blue and the ground a bluish-purple, all a uniform azure.

This place is practically a kingdom of Deep Sleep Flowers!!!

Bai Mo patted Lingling's head, and the little wind spirit lying on Lingling's head immediately understood, turning into a gust of wind and merging into Bai Mo's body.

Enveloped in a bluish-white whirlwind, Bai Mo's figure slowly rose higher and higher. As his field of vision increased, he gradually realized just how vast this sea of ​​Deep Sleeping Flowers truly was.

The entire expanse of blue-purple was like a graffiti left by a god, forming a somewhat flat trapezoid that stretched from the stream in the south to the river in the north for about three kilometers. It also covered a distance of about three miles from the open space in the east to the lakeside in the west. Bai Mo and his group were located on the middle line of this trapezoid.

Slowly landing on the ground, Bai Mo looked at Ding Yumin and Lingling and told them what he had seen.

"With so many Sleeping Flowers here, why do the residents of Qingxi Town still live there peacefully? Once a gust of wind blows from the lake towards Qingxi Town, the pollen from the Sleeping Flowers will put everyone in the town into a deep sleep. So much pollen might keep them awake for their entire lives!"

Lingling's little face was full of seriousness, and her eyes were filled with a thoughtful look.

"Perhaps this is why Mingzhu Academy gave us this assessment task? Or perhaps the residents of Qingxi Town have a way to prevent the pollen of the Deep Sleep Flower from flying over?"

Bai Mo couldn't figure out what was going on either. He scratched his head and said nonchalantly:

"Lingling, don't think about it for now. Since Qingxi Town has always been here, there's a reason he's here. We still have over two hundred Deep Sleep Flowers left for our mission. We'll hand them over to the academy and see what they say then."

"Increasing our numbers shouldn't alert these dormant flowers to us. We'll continue harvesting, and retreat if we sense anything amiss."

Hearing Bai Mo's words, the two nodded slightly. After all, they were just a group of servant-level demons, and they were plants that couldn't move. Even if there were many of them, it wouldn't be difficult for them to leave if they wanted to.

Using the aura barrier created by Bai Mo, the three quickly arrived at the sea of ​​flowers. Undetected, Bai Mo then imitated Feng Ling's actions.

Surrounded by a bluish-white aura, the wind spirits gathered around him. The wind spirits had already reached the level of a great general, and with the control they granted him, Bai Mo's control over the wind became increasingly refined.

A gentle breeze stirred Ding Yumin and Lingling's hair. In this breeze, strands of bluish-white silk were instantly condensed into white ink. They floated slowly, looking incredibly light, yet exuding a deadly danger.

The gentle threads of wind, like spreading ripples on water, slowly swept across a large area in front of them.

The silk-like patterns seemed to carry the Grim Reaper's command; wherever they swept, vast fields of deep-sleeping flowers, like ears of wheat, collapsed as if the scythe of death had passed by.

The gathering of Deep Sleep Flowers here was unlike any other place. Therefore, Ding Yumin had been keeping a close watch on her surroundings, but seeing that Bai Mo's four strands of wind had already harvested more than a hundred Deep Sleep Flowers without any further movement, she subconsciously felt that she was being paranoid.

Just as Bai Mo was about to condense four more wind lines to continue cutting the Deep Sleep Flower.

Behind the vast expanse of fallen, deep-sleeping flowers, those once quiet, blue-purple blossoms suddenly changed color, turning pitch black, as black as a night sky shrouded in thick, dark clouds without stars.

All of this happened too quickly; Bai Mo and Ding Yumin didn't even have time to react. Fortunately, they didn't get close to the patch of Deep Sleep Flowers that had turned black.

Suddenly, the dark, deep-sleeping flowers burst forth with large swaths of black mist, enveloping them while wisps of it drifted toward Bai Mo and his companions.

"Darkness, contagious," Lingling murmured, her eyes fixed on the dark mist. The more she looked, the heavier her eyelids felt, and she couldn't help but want to close her eyes.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she turned her head instantly, reminding him in an urgent tone.

"Quick, this is a Night Flower, a Commander-level one!!"

As the wisps of black energy drifted toward Bai Mo and the other two, Bai Mo led them backward. At the same time, Bai Mo and Ding Yumin also sensed the aura unique to the commander-level demon.

Upon hearing that it was a Long Night Flower, Ding Yumin immediately cast a mental protective spell on Lingling. As a leader-level demon, the Long Night Flower shares some connection with the Deep Sleep Flower, but their abilities are worlds apart.

Anyone who catches a glimpse of the Night Flower's true form will be disturbed by its powerful mental slumbering energy and immediately fall into a deep sleep.

Even intermediate-level mages will lose their combat ability within a minute, hypnotized by its colorless and odorless pollen.

Not to mention being enveloped by its long night aura, in which case the soul would fall into a complete slumber, and only a super-level mind mage could awaken it.

Fortunately, the Night Flower, being a plant-type demon, has difficulty moving and can only rely on its unique infecting ability to transfer its power through the Deep Sleep Flower, which is of the same type. Otherwise, if they had actually encountered its true form, they would probably have had a very difficult time escaping.

While being led by Bai Mo, Ding Yumin kept looking back at the rising black mist, which seemed to shroud a terrifying creature. With her mental strength, she could easily avoid the influence of the dormant mental power.

What puzzled Ding Yumin was that she did not sense any killing intent or hatred. Logically speaking, since they had trespassed into the territory of the Long Night Flower and killed so many of its people, they should have been able to do so.

It has no reason not to be angry, or not to feel murderous intent towards them.

However, Ding Yumin only sensed a faint anger, as well as a sense of being driven away and a strong feeling of unwelcomeness.

Moreover, given the nature of demons, shouldn't they have started causing trouble for them the moment they stepped into this place?!

"That night-blooming jasmine is a bit strange. It doesn't seem to have any intention of killing us, or even hurting us."

After escaping the vicinity of the flower field, Lingling also noticed that something was wrong.

"Of course it won't hurt you. In fact, it wouldn't have shown itself if you hadn't killed too many Deep Sleep Flowers."

As soon as Lingling's words reached Bai Mo and the other person's ears, before Bai Mo could speak, a clear and calm voice appeared.

The three of them turned their heads to look at the direction from which the sound came, and saw a tall woman with beautiful features but a strong heroic spirit slowly appearing under the shade of a tree.

"Who are you?" Bai Mo asked, puzzled by the sudden appearance of the woman. "Are you familiar with that Night-Blooming Flower?"

"It seems she's been following us. I sensed a very faint mental fluctuation earlier, but I wasn't sure. Now it looks like it was her."

Ding Yumin's voice transmission rang in Bai Mo's mind. Bai Mo's eyebrows twitched. Being followed? They had only passed through Qingxi Town before. It seemed that this woman was from Qingxi Town.

The voice of the spirited woman quickly confirmed his judgment.

"My name is Ye Lian, and I'm from Qingxi Town. The reason I followed you was because I saw you running towards the flower forest and I was worried that you might be knocked over by the Deep Sleep Flower. So, to prevent you from being carried away by other demons, I came to pick you up."

Ye Lian paused, glanced at them, and then said:

"I didn't expect you to have a way to evade the Deep Sleep Flower's senses. I won't need to do this anymore, but your actions have angered the Flower Ancestor, and it will no longer welcome you to visit its territory."

After hearing Ye Lian's words, the three were even more puzzled. The implication was clear: Qingxi Town had a close relationship with the Long Night Flower leader, but Ye Lian hadn't specified. So Lingling spoke first, asking a question.

"Flower Ancestor, that's what you call the Long Night Flower. What exactly is your relationship with it?"

"The Flower Ancestor is the guardian deity of our Qingxi Town. It stops the gray-headed salamander demon from Dinghu Lake in the west from invading Qingxi Town." Ye Lian's explanation left Bai Mo and the other two in disbelief. Therefore, Lingling asked:

"The Night-Blooming Flower is a demon. How could a demon protect humans? Are you kidding me?"

Ye Lian glanced at them, shook her head, and instead of answering, asked, "Do you know how long Qingshui Town has existed?"

This question is somewhat inexplicable. Even Lingling wouldn't care about the history of a landmark place before conducting an investigation.

The three remained silent, but Ye Lian already knew the answer in her heart, so she spoke to herself:

"Qingshui Town has existed for more than 300 years. During this time, other towns have come and gone, but Qingxi Town has always existed."

Bai Mo and the other two roughly understood what she meant. Lingling turned around and looked at the sea of ​​flowers that was still faintly visible behind them, confirming, "Because of that Night-blooming Flower?"

"That's right, it's all because of the Flower Ancestor," Ye Lian said. "There are no demon clans on the other three sides of Qingxi Town, only the Cangshou Salamander clan in Dinghu to the west, which often invades. It wasn't until the Flower Ancestor established the Flower Forest on the west side of the town that our town became peaceful."

"But why would the Night Flower do this? We all know that cannibalism is the nature of demons."

Ding Yumin's voice carried some doubt. The emotional fluctuations she sensed from Ye Lian told her that what Ye Lian said was true.

But it's precisely because it's true that some people find it hard to accept.

Everyone stared at Ye Lian, waiting for her answer, only to see her face filled with admiration and respect, and the tone of her words reflected the same.

"This all started with a summoning master from our Qingxi Town, Lin Qi."

His mother died in the invasion of the Blue-headed Salamander. To ensure that the people of Qingxi Town would not be harassed by the Blue-headed Salamander in the future, he voluntarily formed a contract with the Deep Sleep Flower and carefully nurtured it. In the end, he spent his entire life cultivating his Deep Sleep Flower into a commander-level Long Night Flower.

"Therefore, the Flower Ancestor is not a pure demon. It is grateful to Lynch and is friendly to humans. After Lynch died, the Flower Ancestor stayed in the flower field that Lynch planted in the west and protected the town. The town became more and more stable, and the area of ​​the flower field became larger and larger."
