AST 1258 – Vitality Orchids, Hard To Meet Di Chen

This problem had continued to troubled them . They had always hoped to be awakened . Such a talent already appeared prior to the awakening, so if the awakening went through, the benefits they receive would definitely be something amazing .

“Is that really possible?” Hu Yezhong looked at Qing Shui with great anticipation .

“I’ll be able to know after today, you must trust me . I can help you right now . ” Qing Shui smiled and said .

“Of course I can trust you . If it’s possible now, I want to try it immediately . ” Hu Yezhong said, not able to wait .

“Alright, then we can start immediately . Sit down cross-legged, focusing on your Dantian . Don’t think about anything else . ” Qing Shui smiled and took out a box of gold needles .

To Qing Shui, stimulating the potential in one’s body was an easy feat . It was nothing much .

In about half an hour, he managed to accomplish something which appeared to be extremely hard . In order to bring about their awakening, they took quite a lot of medicinal pills which raise one’s potential . However, it was a pity that the awakening didn’t occur even till now . But now, they could hardly believe that it managed to come so easily within such a short amount of time .

“Today, I can only awaken about one-third . However, there’s no need to worry . In the time to follow, the full awakening will be completed . ” Qing Shui smiled and kept the gold needles .

Even without Qing Shui’s words, Hu Yezhong could already sense it . In such a short amount of time, his abilities had increased by multiple folds . The area that increased more was his body’s toughness . He felt as if he was like a metal wall . The aura he exuded could be felt by the people around him .

“Amazing, this is too amazing . ” Hu Yezhong grabbed Qing Shui’s hand and said agitatedly, not even able to speak well .

“Third Brother, if you don’t have anything else, can you please make way? It’s my turn next . ” Hu Yimin was extremely agitated .

Because she had a Shadow Body, she could raise her speed . To her, speed was more important than strength . Therefore, she was more agitated than anyone else now . Regardless if it was men or women, the pursuit of power was endless .

Right now, Qing Shui was helping them, as well as helping himself . He wanted to slowly build up his influence in the the Western Oxhe Continent . The places in the Western Oxhe Continent didn’t have a competitive relationship since most of them were barely able to handle their own territories . If there was competition, it would be for their reputation .

These were also the things which the old men from the Heaven Secrets Academy had told him . Therefore, if there was someone from the Western Oxhe Continent who became Grade Five or higher, then it wouldn’t be a bad thing for that person to reign over the entire Western Oxhe Continent . If no one was able to unite them, then it would be a cooperative relationship . Of course, there must also be competition but it wouldn’t be to the point where they would eradicate one another . This was because no one would be able to bear that level of damage .

When Qing Shui performed the acupuncture on them, it was through their clothes . However, the clothes must be thin . When Hu Yimin’s potential was stimulated, a very powerful aura that was like a gush of wind flowed . The active aura changed Hu Yimin’s disposition completely .

“Thank you, Qing Shui . ”

Hu Yimin gave Qing Shui a hug . Right now, everyone felt that this young man wasn’t simple . Something which could make their clan helpless was solved by Qing Shui in slightly over an hour .

“There’s no need to stand on ceremony . Sister Min, both you and Third Brother should go and stabilize your powers . The effect should be very good . ” Qing Shui took out two bottles that contained Constitution Nurturing Pill and handed it to them .

Since he decided to help them, he need to see it through the end . The Constitution Nurturing Pills weren’t something which was especially precious either .

…

The next day, after breakfast, Qing Shui followed Hu Yimin to head to the Diwu Clan . The Diwu Clan was also in the Imperial City, but was more inward compared to the Hu Clan . The further a clan was situated in, the more powerful their clan was .

Right now, Hu Yimin was like a brand new person . However, Qing Shui felt that she was very good to him, just like how an elder sister would treat her younger brother . He could tell that it was a feeling that she sincerely felt from the bottom of her heart .

“Right now, I believe that you’ll be able to treat her . ” Hu Yiya said to Qing Shui excitedly . They were on Hu Yiya’s Blue Hawk as they travelled at a relatively fast speed .

“You have so much confidence in me?” Qing Shui asked politely . He was confident in himself as well, but one mustn’t make it too absolute . It would be awkward if he ended up not being able to treat the person .

“Yes, I have a lot of confidence in you . Now, no matter what you say, I’ll feel that it’s the truth . ”

“Sister Min, that won’t do . You’ll get deceived very easily like this . ” Qing Shui smiled and said .

“Are you looking down on me? My eyes are still very bright . ” Hu Yimin spoke confidently .

…

As they chatted, they came to a relatively secluded place . The buildings here didn’t seem like much, which was something which Qing Shui couldn’t understand . By right, someone from the Diwu Clan shouldn’t be staying in a place like this .

As if she could tell what Qing Shui was thinking, Hu Yimin smiled and said, “My friend insists on staying here . ”

By the time she said that, they had already came to the most quiet manor . There were many flowers around and the place was filled with the fragrance of orchids . There were more orchids than other plants in the courtyard, and there were a variety of colors .

Two maids stood at the door, and they were both cultivators . What astonished Qing Shui was neither of the two ladies were weak . They could even be said to be very strong . However, thinking of how they were from the Diwu clan, it seemed perfectly normal .

For Peak Grade Four State Masters to be a guard here… It was really a great investment .

“Stop there!”

The maid on the right coldly shouted out to stop Qing Shui and Hu Yimin .

“I’m Hu Yimin . I came here before . ” Hu Yimin quickly said .

“You can enter, but he can’t . ” The maid continued to say .

Hu Yimin didn’t insist and said to Qing Shui with a smile: “Wait here for a moment, I’ll come to get you later . ”

Qing Shui nodded and watched as Hu Yimin entered .

After 15 minutes had passed, Hu Yimin finally walked out . She flashed the token in her hands and then waved toward Qing Shui .

Qing Shui quickly entered .

The place wasn’t very big . It was only about one Mu in size but there were many flowerbeds in the courtyard . There was a mysterious fragrance in the air .

“Vitality Orchids！”

Qing Shui said as looked at some mysterious looking orchids in the courtyard with a strange expression .

“What Vitality Orchids?”

“To think that you can recognize the Vitality Orchids . ”

Before Qing Shui could say anything, a hoarse but pleasant sounding voice with a hint of coldness rang out .

Qing Shui turned and saw a lady with loosely-fitted clothes as she stood a distance away . Although the lady was very beautiful, she appeared very different from the Eldest Princess . However, this lady had a unique disposition that wouldn’t lose against the Eldest Princess . It made her attractiveness increased by many times .

Such attractiveness gave one a sense of anticipation, or when one looked at her, they would want to see her each and every action and even want to hear her talk . It was an amazing charm .

Her beautiful hair was tied up and she exuded a great feeling of poise and dignity . However, Qing Shui realized that the lady seemed to appear a little sickly .

“The Vitality Orchid is a type of mysterious medicinal herb . Just one stalk of it has no effect . Neither does ten stalks . If it’s still growing, only 99 stalks of them could exude a mysterious vitality that could prevent the depreciation of one’s vitality to a certain degree . ” Qing Shui hadn’t expected that they were also called the Vitality Orchids in this world . As for the effects, of course Qing Shui knew it well .

The lady didn’t show any changes . She took a few steps forward and Qing Shui could smell a faint orchid fragrance coming from her .

“It’s been very long since someone has come to look for me . My vitality has been depreciating and so has my abilities . Since you’re on good terms with Min`er, go ahead . If it’s not something too exaggerated, I’ll help you if I can . ” The lady said softly .
“I want to know where the Lotus Sect is at . ”

“No!”

Qing Shui wasn’t surprised by the straightforward reply as he merely continued: “I want to find someone from the Lotus Sect . Is there any way to do so?”

“Find someone from Lotus Sect to help you bring a message . ”

“Then can you help me bring a message?”

“I’m no longer a member of the Lotus Sect . ”

“Why? Is it because of Lotus Sect or is it because of you?”

“I was the one who insisted on leaving . What’s the point of someone in my state staying in the Lotus Sect?” The lady said calmly . Even her emotions were calm .

It was only then did Qing Shui realized that this lady wasn’t simple . It wasn’t like what Hu Yimin had said, that her character changed a lot . In such a situation, it was not easy to be able to do this .

It was because this was also to take life and death very lightly . Or rather, it could be said that in such a situation where she was left with no choice, she had resigned herself to fate . This was getting accustomed, it was different from not giving up on any bit of hope . This was a mentality that showed she was facing it calmly .

“But I can’t find anyone who can contact the people from the Lotus Sect now . Why don’t we do this? If I can treat your condition, can you help me pass on a message?” Qing Shui asked seriously .

Even though the lady was very cultured, she almost exploded . What was this? Putting aside the fact on whether he could treat her or not, even if he could, it was only so that she could help him pass on a message?

Hu Yimin was also stunned, but she didn’t say anything .

“You’re able to treat me?” The lady looked at him with a weird expression . She couldn’t believe in Qing Shui at all .

“I can’t be absolutely sure . If I can’t manage to treat you, you can help me . There’s nothing for you to lose . What do you think?”
The lady looked at Qing Shui for a very long time . “If it wasn’t because Min`er brought you here and strongly recommended you, I would have definitely thrown you out . ”

Qing Shui didn’t haggle over this but smiled and said, “Then Miss Diwu has agreed to my condition?”

“I agree, of course I agree . Why would I not agree to such a good deal? The prerequisite is that you’re able to heal me . ” The lady continued to say calmly .

“Alright . Then I’ll give you treatment now . Is it convenient?”

“It is!”

“Min`er, why don’t you head back first? Don’t worry, he’ll be fine . ” The lady looked toward Hu Yimin and said .

Hu Yimin looked at Qing Shui . The latter nodded and she left .

“Go on, who are you looking for? I’ll do my best to help you . We can forget about the treatment . ” The lady said and headed to the hall .

Qing Shui was stunned, but he eventually understood . To say it blankly, she didn’t believe that he could treat her . The reason she was doing all of these was for Hu Yimin .

Qing Shui followed her into the hall . The room wasn’t luxuriously decorated and appeared to be very simple and clean .

“I want to look for Di Chen . ” Qing Shui eventually still said it . As for her treatment, he had already decided to do what he could for her .

“Di Chen? You’re looking for Di Chen? You’re from the other five continents?” The lady looked at Qing Shui in great astonishment .

“Mmm . Seems like you know her . This is great . ” Qing Shui said excitedly .

“She’s the Lotus Sect’s Holy Maiden . I won’t be able to help you on this . ” The lady sighed and said helplessly .
