Chapter 192: The real awakening flower!
"I already know why you're here!" The "Flower Beast" said, and then slowly walked in one direction, "Come with me, I'll take you to get the real 'Awakening Flower'!"
"Thank you, Senior!" Gu Jin thanked him, thinking that this time the "flower beast" should be real. Seeing the "flower beast" staggering, Gu Jin felt a little guilty, so he quickly took a few steps to catch up with the "flower beast". After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Senior! I was a little too heavy-handed just now. Are you okay?"
“Haha! It’s okay! My body was refined by the master using a special refining technique. With your strength, it is not enough to damage it!” The "Flower Beast" said with a chuckle.
Gu Jin looked at the body of the "flower beast" again. That's right. How could something refined by the most advanced existence in the universe be destroyed by a small star realm like himself?
Then, Gu Jin didn’t think any more and followed the "flower beast" into the distance.
However, after walking for several hours, the "flower beast" still showed no intention of stopping, and Gu Jin couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Senior! Do we have to go far? How about we fly over? It will be faster this way!"
"Walking is also a kind of practice. After thousands of years, I feel so at ease when I regain control of my body and step on the thick ground under my feet!" The "Flower Beast" sighed.
"Yes! Senior is right! But, your master, Pan Tianzhuzai is waiting for the 'Awakening Flower' to wake him up!" Gu Jin reminded anxiously. That is its master, it should not forget it, right?
"Don't be impatient. The 'Awakening Flower' is very special! Look at the flowers and plants around you. Every step you take, you will be contaminated with some of their scent." The "Flower Beast" said leisurely, "And these scents will help you to get the 'Awakening Flower' later. The 'Awakening Flower' is very sensitive to human scent. If a human suddenly breaks into its territory, it will wither in an instant!"
"And this is the original intention of the master to create me, so that I can guard and take care of the 'Awakening Flower'!"
"After searching the vast universe, the master has finally found this one. If it senses the breath of humans and suddenly withers, it will not be able to wake the master up!"
The Flower Beast said as he continued to leisurely walk among the flowers and plants, leading the way.
"So that's what's happening. I thought it didn't care about its master!" Gu Jin said to himself, and followed the "flower beast", going to places with lots of flowers and plants. Moreover, he would grab some flowers and plants and rub them on himself from time to time to get more scent of flowers and plants to cover up his own human scent.
In this way, Gu Jin followed the "flower beast" and walked slowly without stopping. After three days and three nights, Gu Jin followed the "flower beast" and came to the outside of a small valley.
"This valley is the territory of the 'Awakening Flower'. Along the way, you have been stained with a lot of floral scents. To be on the safe side, apply floral juice on your face and chew some flowers in your mouth!" The "Flower Beast" stopped and turned to say to Gu Jin.
"Um... Senior! Is there no other way?" Gu Jin felt very bad. He had to apply flower and herbal juice on his face and even chew some flowers and herbs in his mouth. He, Gu Jin, was not a herbivorous animal. It would be strange if he felt good!
"There are other ways!" The "Flower Beast" said this again.
"Hmm? Really? Senior! What's the solution? Tell me now!" Gu Jin immediately became excited when he heard the "Flower Beast" say there were other ways to do it, and jumped in front of the "Flower Beast" like a child. Along the way, he was exposed to the scent of so many flowers and plants that he felt like he was about to turn into a plant.
"That means becoming a master! Every master has great power, and the 'Awakening Flower' also has spirituality. It has to bow its head to such an existence!" said the "Flower Beast" calmly.
"Uh... Senior! What you said is the same as not saying anything!" Gu Jin said with a frown. He didn't think he could become a master in his lifetime. That's a master! The most top existence in the entire universe! In this life, if he, Gu Jin, can achieve great power, he will burn incense.
"I'm guiding you with a method that you can do now, but you insist on asking for another method. Isn't that asking for trouble?" The "Flower Beast" glanced at Gu Jin lightly, then turned his head and pointed at Gu Jin, saying, "Hurry up! Eat flowers and plants, apply flower juice, my master is still waiting for you to wake him up! By then, you have solved the dangers of the entire universe, wouldn't you be a great hero of the entire universe? Will you be praised by the entire universe for generations?"
“Eh!?” After being told this by the “flower beast”, Gu Jin instantly felt that his image had become much taller, and he also became motivated. “Isn’t it just eating some flowers and plants? I’ll eat them!”
So, Gu Jin grabbed a handful of unknown flowers and plants beside him and was about to put them into his mouth, but suddenly he remembered something. He turned his head to look at the "flower beast" and asked, "Senior! These flowers and plants are not poisonous, right?" Gu Jin was a little scared by the "evil flower beast".
"It's not poisonous! You can eat it without worry !" The "Flower Beast" said unhappily, then walked to the side and squatted there leaning against a stone.
"It's good that it's not poisonous!"
Then, Gu Jin put the flowers and plants in his hand into his mouth and started chewing them.
"This taste... is really..." The more he chewed, the more Gu Jin frowned. He felt that there was a bad taste in his mouth, not sour, not bitter, not astringent. He himself couldn't tell what the taste was. Maybe, it was a mixture of all tastes!
After chewing hard for a while, Gu Jin spat out the residue in his mouth to the side, took two deep breaths, and his mouth was full of unpleasant taste.
Frowning deeply, Gu Jin grabbed a handful of flowers and plants, used his vital energy to press them into a small pile of "mud", spread it on his hands, and smeared it on his face and head.
After Gu Jin finished wiping, he looked at the "flower beast" beside him. Just as he was about to speak, the voice of the "flower beast" came first.
"Apply more! That way you can completely cover up the human scent on you!"
"Okay!" Gu Jin curled his lips and could only continue eating grass and licking juice.
After a while, Gu Jin's body was covered with the juice of flowers and plants, and his whole body turned yellow-green. And when he opened his mouth, his mouth was full of the "fragrance" of flowers and plants.
As for this unpleasant smell, Gu Jin immediately blocked his sense of smell. As the saying goes, if you don't smell anything, your mind will be at peace! This is what Gu Jin was thinking. If you smell bad, I won't smell you. This way, I can get the "Reawakening Flower" and not have to smell the unpleasant smell. Isn't it the best of both worlds?
"Senior! I feel like I am a flower! A grass now! Can we take action now?" Gu Jin asked the "flower beast" beside him.
At this time, the "flower beast" had stood up and turned to walk into the small valley.
Gu Jin watched the "flower beast" walk into the small valley , shook his head slightly, and followed in.
Gu Jin felt that after spending so many years with Li Weiyi, he seemed to have become less cold and more humane , especially after communicating with the "flower beast" here, Gu Jin felt that he had become more cheerful. And all of this was due to the influence of Li Weiyi.
After not seeing each other for a few months, he missed Li Weiyi a little.
The small valley was as quiet as other places in the secret realm, without a single sound.
In the center of the valley, there was a small pond. The "flower beast" stopped not far from the pond.
"Hmm? Are we there yet, senior?" Gu Jin asked doubtfully, and walked to the side of the "flower beast". Following the "flower beast's" gaze, he found a one-foot-tall flower with two leaves and a bright purple-red flower the size of a palm in the middle.
"Senior! Is this the 'Awakening Flower'?" Gu Jin looked at the bright purple flower curiously and was about to go forward to pick it.
The "Flower Beast" raised its front paw to stop Gu Jin, pointed to one side and said, "What's the hurry? Bring the jade box over there first!"
Gu Jin looked in the direction of the "flower beast's" front paw and found a one-foot square white jade box over there.
"That was prepared long ago, specifically for getting the 'Awakening Flower'!" said the "Flower Beast".
So, Gu Jin walked over again and picked up the white jade box.
"Senior! How do we obtain the 'Awakening Flower'?" Gu Jin asked.
“Just go over and break it off with your hands!” said the “Flower Beast” easily.
"Uh... is it... that simple?" Gu Jin asked with some disbelief.
"Then what else do you want?" The "Flower Beast" glanced at Gu Jin unhappily, "If you want to take the 'Awakening Flower', you must pick it off with your own hands. Otherwise, why would I let you be stained with the scent of flowers and plants?"
"Oh!" Gu Jin nodded embarrassedly, then slowly walked towards the "Awakening Flower" with the white jade box.
At the same time, as he got closer and closer to the "Awakening Flower", Gu Jin stared at the bright purple-red flower closely, fearing that the human scent on his body would be discovered by it and he would wither.
Gu Jin, with his heart in his hands, finally walked step by step to the side of the "Awakening Flower", gently placed the white jade box on the ground and opened it.
After taking a deep breath, Gu Jin carefully stretched out his hands and slowly approached the "Awakening Flower".
Then, Gu Jin slowly placed his hands on the flower stem, and at this moment his heart was in his throat.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of "click!", and Gu Jin picked up the bright purple-red "Awakening Flower", quickly put it into the white jade box, and closed the white jade box. Only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, sweat marks appeared on Gu Jin's forehead again, which had not appeared for hundreds of years! It can be seen how nervous Gu Jin was!
After taking a breath, Gu Jin gently picked up the white jade box and returned to the side of the "flower beast".
"Senior! I got the 'Awakening Flower'!" Gu Jin said excitedly.
"Yes!" The "Flower Beast" nodded and urged: "Go quickly! Go and wake up my master! I haven't seen my master for a long time, but I will see him again soon!" The tone of the "Flower Beast" was full of joy.
"Senior! Thank you so much!" Gu Jin bowed solemnly to the "flower beast".
"That's my master. It's my duty to wake him up!" A stream of air emanated from the "flower beast" and lifted up Gu Jin who was kneeling down.
"Senior! Then I, the junior, will take my leave first! We will meet again if we have the chance someday!" Gu Jin nodded to the "flower beast", then held the white jade box with one hand, took out the plate given to him by the magic weapon "Haotian" with the other hand, and injected his vitality into it.
With the injection of vital energy, the sign suddenly became glaring !
Immediately afterwards, a white light flashed, and when he looked again, Gu Jin was gone.
"Master! We will meet soon!" The "flower beast" muttered as it looked at the place where Gu Jin disappeared, then turned around and left the valley.
