Bone blossom was a flower that grew out of a special type of bone called the peculiar bone.
It was a type of bone left behind by beasts or cultivators with high cultivation. It requires the remains to be left in a humid place that has access to sunlight and rain for many years. And even if all the conditions are fulfilled, it might not grow.
After the meeting, Lu Mingshu went to look for Qing Mu. "The last time a bone blossom appeared in the heavenly wheel was about three hundred years ago. Daoist priest Hao has been looking for it for years, yet there hasn't been any clue. "
~Right, why would I be able to find it when Daoist priest Hao, who has higher cultivation than me and more connections, is unable to do so?~ "There are still other ways." Qing Mu continued. "Either you see it when you are in the heavenly wheel or meet someone who possesses one."
~.... None of the conditions are feasible! Why would anyone sell such a precious treasure? And even if they did, it would probably cost at least ten thousand accumulated points. If that's the case, I might as well just use points to buy the prescription from priest Hao. Oh, or I am extremely lucky. But this will not happen!~
Lu Mingshu sighed. ~If there's really no other choice, I'll have to ask Xie Lianzhen. Even though we didn't state who the stone belonged to before we left. He had always shared the benefits with me and protected me from danger. I will not have a clear conscience if I take the stone this time around.
~However, master's health is more important. I'll try to look for the bone blossom first to see if it exists in my world. If not, I'll get Xie Lianzhen to take a trip down and ask him to help senior uncle An with his body too.~
Lu Mingshu got out of the heavenly wheel after making up her mind.
After exiting, she went to ask Liu Jizhen about the bone blossom which, unfortunately, Liu Jizhen has not heard about either. She hesitated for sometime before writing a letter and asking Ah Sheng to send it to the seventh truth platform.
After a while, Yu-Wen Shi arrived. He went over to chat with Liu Jizhen, and Liu Jizhen soon called Lu Mingshu over before Yu Wen Shi asked, as he knew Yu-Wen Shi well.
"Senior uncle Yu Wen." Lu Mingshu greeted him as soon as she arrived.
Yu Wen Shi's eyes shone as soon as he saw her. He nodded and looked over at Liu Jizhen. "Senior brother Liu, I envy you so much! Your disciple broke through at such a young age. How glad would I be if my Zhengyang was that talented." After that, he then turned to Lu Mingshu. "You have not come back for years; how have you been? If you have any problems, feel free to come to senior uncle, I will help if I can."
"Sure, junior niece here has a request, though." Lu Mingshu smiled sweetly.
"Oh? Sure, just voice it out."
"My master has been in the green jade valley for years, holding an empty title of courtyard leader, left without any resources and his health. He doesn't have many friends in the sect, and even though junior nephew has been given the title of elder, I don't have many connections either. I hope senior uncle can help junior niece out, to find someone to take care of my master's health."
"Mingshu?" Liu Jizhen looked at her in shock. He knew what Lu Mingshu was planning. Since she had the heart to go against the Zhou, of course, she would form an alliance with Yu Wen shi. But taking care of her master doesn't seem to be an excuse…..
On the other hand, Yu-Wen Shi looks shocked too. But he recovered quickly and smiled at her widely. "Senior uncle knows a few good doctors. I'll talk to them when I return."
"Thank you, senior uncle."
Yu Wen Shi smiled before pointing at Shao Zhengyang. "Anyway, if you don't mind, I hope you can help me guide this useless disciple of mine sometimes."
Since Lu Mingshu has asked for his favor, Yu-Wen Shi can finally voice his thoughts.
"My skills aren't good enough for it to be called guidance. It's just a simple exchange of skills." She then reached out her hand, "Senior brother Shao, let's go out to have a talk?"
"Thanks, junior sister Lu."
Both of them bid their masters goodbye before walking out of the room.
Lu Mingshu brought Shao Zhengyang to the meadow in the green jade valley to take a stroll.
The sun shone brightly onto both of them, bringing warmth.
After some time, Shao Zhengyang couldn't help but start a conversation. "Junior sister Lu…."
He looked down. Of course, he knew why his master was here, to find out how Lu Mingshu broke through. ~What if she's unhappy that we came to probe? But she seems okay now, though~
Now, they were quite far from the courtyard. Lu Mingshu stopped and turned towards him. "Senior brother Shao."
"Yeah?"
"We are all martial artists. Why not just be straightforward?"
"Ah?" Shao Zhengyang blinked his eyes. ~What does she mean?~
"What are you guys here for?" Before Shao Zhengyang replied, she shook her head and looked at Shao Zhengyang. "Cut the chase, we are all busy people, why waste all our time here?"
Shao Zhengyang sighed. "I hope junior sister doesn't get angry."
"Depends on what you are going to say." Lu Mingshu shrugged.
"...." Shao Zhengyang felt like leaving. Back then, during the spring hunt, he knew that his junior sister was not someone who was good to associate with. She doesn't care about others and doesn't even bother with courtesy.
~But it's better though that at least she's trustworthy.~
" Junior sister has broken through, so….I really want to consult junior sister on how you did it." But before Lu Mingnshu could reply, he waved his hands. "It's okay if it is confidential."
Lu Mingshu surprisingly smiled. "I thought it was something grave. But this is still okay, sure."
Shao Zhengyang looked at her in shock. "Are you sure?" ~Nobody would share their secrets so easily.~
"Yes." Lu Mingshu nodded. "But I want something in exchange, though."
Shao Zhengyang heaved a sigh of relief. ~Great, this shows that she is serious.~
Lu Mingshu looked up at little daze who was flying in the sky. She looked over to Shao Zhengyang and smiled. "You guys are no longer on good terms with the Zhou's, am I right?"
