Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 256 - 250: An Unprecedented Talent, Dong’Er’s Amazement
Nannan was holding a seven-colored flower in her hand, with seven petals, each displaying a different color, exuding a faint glow.
Upon seeing this flower, Jin Yao was shocked and quickly shouted, "Nannan, throw it away!"
Hearing this, Nannan looked puzzled but still listened to Jin Yao and tossed the seven-colored flower to the ground.
The moment the flower hit the ground, flowers within a ten-kilometer radius withered instantly!
Witnessing this scene, Nannan was startled.
Jin Yao hurried over to check Nannan’s right hand that had been holding the flower. After carefully examining and finding no injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Nearly caused a major incident for the little master.
This flower sea grows a "Seven Elements Mixed Color Flower," which is not an ordinary flower, but one of the "Ten Great Poison Spirits" recorded in the ancient texts of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm.
The presence of this "Seven Elements Mixed Color Flower" is a crucial reason why the Cyan Valley Flower Sea is one of the forbidden areas of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm.
However, legend has it that this "Seven Elements Mixed Color Flower" was picked tens of thousands of years ago, wasn’t it?
Moreover, to ensure the absolute safety of the little master, she personally checked beforehand and didn’t find the presence of this flower.
But... why was it found by the little master?
Not only found but also picked!
To pick a Seven Elements Mixed Color Flower, at least Earth Immortal cultivation is required. Moreover, this flower is called one of the "Ten Great Poison Spirits" for a reason—the moment it is picked, the person picking it will be devoured and withered in an instant.
Yet, the little master not only picked it but also remained unharmed?
What is going on?
Jin Yao asked Nannan, "Nannan, do you feel any discomfort?"
Nannan shook her head and said, "No."
"Then how did you find this flower?"
"Right here." Nannan pointed to a small pit in front of her.
....
Jin Yao couldn’t figure out why the Seven Elements Mixed Color Flower suddenly appeared here and was even found by the little master.
"Fourth sister, is this flower poisonous?"
Nannan looked at the seven-colored flower on the ground and the withered flowers around it, and asked softly.
Because she intended to give this beautiful flower to her father...
"No."
Jin Yao said as she picked it up and handed it to Nannan.
Because the Seven Elements Mixed Color Flower only possesses potent toxins while growing and at the moment of being picked. Once picked and a few seconds pass, it becomes a supreme great medicine.
The Ten Great Poison Spirits, though labeled with "poison," terrifies countless cultivators but also attracts them.
Because once the toxicity is removed, it becomes one of the world’s top great medicines!
...
"Then can I give it to my father?" Nannan asked.
"Of course you can." Jin Yao replied with a smile.
....
In the following days, Jin Yao took Nannan to many fun places.
During the day, they’d play with the fourth sister, and at night, learn carving with Sister Dong’Er.
....
On this day, when Nannan finished carving a piece and handed it to Dong’Er.
Dong’Er was finally impressed.
In just seven days, the wooden sculpture carved by little Nannan was almost indistinguishable from hers.
This carved wooden sculpture could likely be used as a spiritual artifact. The wooden sculptures Dong’Er carved had previously played a role in battles.
.....
At this moment, Nannan thought of something, picked up a new piece of purple wood, and started carving.
An hour later, just as she was completing the final step, the wooden sculpture in her hands suddenly shattered.
This startled Nannan quite a bit.
Seeing this, Dong’Er stood up and hurriedly asked, "What happened? Is the little master okay?"
Nannan, coming to her senses, looked at the shattered wood chips on the ground, puzzled, and asked Dong’Er, "Sister Dong’Er, why did it shatter?"
.....
Dong’Er looked at the shattered wood chips on the ground, remained silent for a while, then asked, "What does the little master intend to carve?"
Though she had a rough idea, she still asked.
...
"I plan to carve my father’s likeness and give it to him when I return." Nannan replied.
Every time Nannan went out to play, she would bring back some gifts for her father.
.....
Hearing this, Dong’Er understood and smiled, saying, "The master’s karma is too significant; no object in the world can bear it."
"Then... is there no other way?" Nannan asked dejectedly.
"There is, if you get the master’s permission, then it’s possible." Dong’Er replied.
For those who stand at high levels, bearing supreme fates and karmas, their words and actions are intertwined with karma. There’s an idiom perfectly describing this, called "Words Accompanied by Law."
Take the master as an example. If someone receives the master’s explicit permission, they can avoid the backlash of karma. If the little master gets the master’s permission, then she can carve the master’s image, but only she can do it.
"That’s great!"
"Sister Dong’Er, can I take some of this wood with me?" Nannan beamed with joy.
"Of course, take as much as you like." Dong’Er replied with a smile.
Although these woods are extremely precious, as long as the little master asks, she can have as much as she wants.
...
"Little master, have you ever thought about cultivation?"
Dong’Er, watching the seriously studying little Nannan, couldn’t help but ask.
Because she felt it would be a pity if Nannan didn’t actively cultivate. She seemed interested in everything except cultivation.
"I haven’t thought about it.." Nannan tilted her head and answered.
When she was with her father, she would only actively cultivate when she was really bored, and her attention would rarely be on cultivation at all.
"If you are interested, I can teach you some methods."
Dong’Er said earnestly.
But Nannan waved her hand and said, "No need, Sister Dong’Er, I don’t want to cultivate."
Hearing this, Dong’Er was taken aback, then smiled, "Then tomorrow I’ll teach you painting."
"Yes, yes!" Hearing this, Nannan immediately became interested.
Dong’Er looked at Nannan, growing more and more puzzled, even having a sense that emerged from the ether: Is the little master truly the master’s own flesh and blood?
What is her true background?
However, this speculation barely formed before she dismissed it. Matters like this were beyond what she should ponder or speculate on; she only needed to fulfill her duties.
....
Above the Long River.
Crack—
With a sound, the shell was finally pried open by Su Mu.
The moment the shell was opened, a dark light emerged.
Su Mu looked inside the shell.
