Deep in the mountains, a small creek flows.

Zhong Shan was facing towards Tian Ling Er and using something to smear on Tian Ling Er’s face.

“Zhong Shan, will this work?” Tian Ling Er asked as she sat on the boulder, allowing Zhong Shan to use the moist tree resin to smear on her face.

As Zhong Shan was smearing it on her face, he constantly reminded her.

“En, seems like it is applied properly, this is the last step, before half an hour has past, you are not allowed to touch your face, only after the resin has dried.”

“En” Tian Ling Er nodded suspiciously, her eyes wide open as she did not know what Zhong Shan had smeared on her face.

“It’s done” Zhong Shan nodded in satisfaction.

“It’s done?” Tian Ling Er exclaimed excitedly and ran over to the creek to take a look.

As she looked at her reflection, Tian Ling Er’s expression began to turned sour.

“Ahhh~~~~”

Tian Ling Er shrieked, that sound she let out seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds and reached the heaven, meanwhile Zhong Shan exposed a satisficed smile.

After letting out a shriek, Tian Ling Er immediately wanted to wipe her face.

“Don’t move” Zhong Shan shouted immediately.

“No, it is too ugly, how did you managed to make me so ugly?” Tian Ling Er cried out in shock.

Once Zhong Shan grabbed Tian Ling Er’s wrist, he let out a sigh and said, “Who asked you to be so pretty? If we came across someone similar to that Miao Xian Ren, we will not have the luck to save ourselves again.”

Tian Ling Er initially wanted to put up a struggle, but as Zhong Shan mentioned that she was pretty, her body tensed up and was seemingly concerned with how Zhong Shan’s opinion of her was.

“Really?” Tian Ling Er then asked after she calmed down, but her face was blushing.

“Of course, could it be that you still wished to meet a second Miao Xian Ren.” Zhong Shan said as he released her wrist.

As Zhong Shan released her wrist, Tian Ling Er felt a sense of disappointment in her heart.

“Definitely not.” Tian Ling Er replied while shaking her head.

“How about this, in my heart, Tian Ling Er will always be pretty, this ugly appearance is only for those outsiders to see.” Zhong Shan continued to console her.

“En” Tian Ling Er nod her head, not arguing about her appearance.

After three days, Zhong Shan and the ugly version of Tian Ling Er appeared at the top of a ravine.

A thick fog covered the base of the ravine, making it impossible to see what is below.

“Are you sure this is the place?” Zhong Shan looked doubtfully at the deep ravine below.

“Of course, there is still both of my footprints on that rock over there.” Tian Ling Er pointed towards the rock in the corner.

As they approached the rock, there indeed was a pair of footprints there. Tian Ling Er did not lie about it.

“Come, let’s take a look below.” After he verified it, Zhong Shan nodded his head and brought Tian Ling Er down the slope and walked slowly into the depths of the ravine.

The road down was steep, but Zhong Shan managed to make his way down quickly after some preparation.

The atmosphere inside the ravine seemed a little eerie, but there were two peculiar light sources located within the ravine.

At the walls in the direction of the North and South, both had a two meters hemisphere shaped object emitting a blueish glow, appearing to be some kind of shell.

The shell’s material seemed to be made out of some kind of transparent membrane, wrapping some kind of unknown object.

It seemed to be some kind of egg, the other half of the egg was edged in the wall, only exposing a small portion of it.

However, on the outer shell, both seemed to have grown an unusual flower.

The flower was extremely strange, although its sepal1 was quite large, it only contained two jade-like leaves, the stalk then splits into four roots which penetrate deeply into the eggs using them as a source for nutrients.

Within the center of the flower, other than it reproductive parts, there was a faint glint of lightning jumping about, making it look extremely magical.

Thunder Flower?

Tian Ling Er did not need to explain anything, even Zhong Shan could tell deduce its name from its appearance, but what exactly is that egg. However, Zhong Shan could tell that there was an incredible amount of lightning energy within the egg, because the Thunder Flower only grew in places rich in lightning and it was definitely absorbing the energy within the egg.

“The previous time I was here, it had not bloomed, now that it had bloomed, we can harvest it.” Tian Ling Er cried out it excitedly, and was ready to leap over.

“Hold on” Zhong Shan held Tian Ling Er back.

Frowning slightly, Zhong Shan looked around at the strange environment.

Ruins, there was large amounts of ruins scattered around, at the base of the ravine there was also a large amount of broken rocks, there seemed to be a fight between supreme experts here, but there wasn't a single scratch on the walls in the ravine, it was certainly unusual.

“What’s wrong?” Tian Ling Er asked

“When you were here previously, was it like this? Was there anything more in the valley? ” Zhong Shan asked suspiciously.

“No, it was the same as the last time, there was any living things around.” Tian Ling Er said

However, Zhong Shan still felt that there was something wrong, he picked up a stone and toss it towards the Thunder Flower.

“Peng” The stone shattered abruptly.

Zhong Shan saw a whip that came deep underground from the ruins fling towards the stone and shattered it.

Witnessing this strange scenario, Zhong Shan squinted his eyes and wondered what that was.

As if it was to curb the curiosity that Zhong Shan had, the ruins where the whip had emerged from underground started to trembled.

“Hong Long Long”

The earth trembled relentlessly, Zhong Shan retreated immediately while Tian Ling Er stood on her red silk and flew upwards. Both of them carried an alert expression on their faces as they watched the ruins trembled.

“Hua La La”

A Crustacean looking creature crawled out slowly from depths of the ruins.

It was a pitch-black scorpion, carrying large amount of venom in its tail. Excluding its tail, it was already a meter long, while its tail was about ten meters long. Soon, numerous scorpion began climbing out of the ruins trying to repel against the invaders.

The stone thrown out previously was not shattered by a whip, it was the tip of the scorpion’s tail that shattered it.

Were all these scorpions trying to protect the Thunder Flower?

Looking at the scarlet tails of those scorpions, Zhong Shan was extremely frightened.

“Why are there so many scorpions here? There weren’t any previously.” Tian Ling Er shouted anxiously.

Due to the emergence of the scorpions, the Thunder Flower was now heavily guarded in all directions.

“That was due to the grandmaster’s aura, once grandmaster released his aura, all the scorpions were suppressed and were unable to move a single step.” Zhong Shan drew his machete and looked cautiously towards the scorpions.

The ruins were caused by these scorpions? It was them who drilled underground and created all the ruins around?

“Bang”

A scorpion’s tail extended towards Zhong Shan. Its scarlet needle tip was ready to stab Zhong Shan to death. Brandishing his machete, Zhong Shan chopped the needle-like tip off its tails with a single stroke.

“Ding”

Zhong Shan used all his strength to cut away its tail, meanwhile seizing the opportunity to sliced the scorpion’s head. However, a large sound could be heard as the machete rebounded back with immense force.

What a hard exoskeleton!

Although he felt like crying, Zhong Shan did not dare to relax his hands as there were several scorpions leaping towards him for a bite.

Zhong Shan was waving his machete around, Tian Ling Er was up in the air using her red magical silk helping out Zhong Shan.

While Zhong Shan and Tian Ling Er were occupied with the scorpions, there were a group of people approaching the ravine entrance above

“Your Majesty, this is the place, within the ravine lies two Thunder Flower which should be maturing soon, coincidentally we can bring it back for the crown prince to refine it into a Level Up pellet to improve his cultivation.” A man wearing a suit of armor said respectfully.

“Lei Ting, look at how much you are doting on the crown prince, he is closer to you more than he is to me.” The Emperor let out a laugh as he spoke.

“You are over praising me, Your Majesty. The crown prince addresses me as uncle, so I will look out for him.” The armored man spoked with a look of contentment.

“Ha Ha, Great, since we are all family, speak no more, let’s go harvest the Thunder Flower.” The Emperor laughed as he tried to roped Lei Ting in.

“En” Lei Ting replied emotionally.

In the corner, Mr Shi stood silently behind them. After the Emperor made some preparations, a group of people followed him over into the ravine.
