Tian Xiaoding, the Demon Princess and others never expected that they would actually find Xue Yuyi emerging from the snow on the top of the snow mountain at night.
No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for several days. It turns out that it hides under the snow during the day and cannot be discovered. Only at night does it emerge from the snow, unfold its leaves and petals, and absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
The leaves and petals of the snow plumage are covered with fluffy hairs, which are like feathers and seem to have a protective effect against the cold.
During the day, the leaves of the snow coat tightly wrap the middle flower layer by layer, forming a large white ball that shrinks back under the snow. At night, it emerges from the snow, and its leaves unfold one by one, revealing the innermost flowers and heart, exuding a faint fragrance.
Like other animals and plants on Tiankun, the flowers of Xue Yuyi are also very huge. The flower part alone is as big as a washbasin. If you include its unfolded leaves, it is as big as a round table.
The petals are layered in layers, wrapping the heart of the flower, and the fragrance is fragrant.
The attentive Xiao Ding also discovered that at the bottom of the flower, the ovary guarded by the sepals was already swollen and looked very full. This shows that flower seeds should have been produced at the bottom of Xue Yuyi's flowers.
However, it is still unclear whether these flower seeds are mature.
Generally speaking, for ordinary flowers, when the flower seeds mature, the flowers wither.
The snow-leathered flowers in front of me are in full bloom, and there seems to be no sign of fading. However, Xue Yuyi is a spiritual plant and may not be the same as ordinary flowers. Therefore, it is really not easy to judge whether the flower seeds are mature or not.
"Let's pick it," the demon princess said.
After saying that, she took out her flying sword and prepared to cut it off from the stem.
Xiao Ding quickly stopped the demon princess and said, "Wait a minute!"
The demon princess stopped flying her sword, looked at Xiao Ding and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ding quickly replied: "According to the previous agreement, doesn't the princess only want the flowers of Xue Yuyi? Then, you only need to pick the flowers and leave the rest to me."
The demon princess hesitated. Although she also wanted to regret it, she had the idea of devouring this Xue Yuyi for herself. However, she immediately thought of Xiao Ding's terrifying fighting power. Then she looked at her side. There were only four maids left. If there was a real fallout, she felt that her side really had no chance of winning.
So she had to force a smile and said: "Okay, then I will only pick the flowers, and the rest will be yours."
Such a big flower would be enough to make elixirs for her mother to cure her illness. What's more, the most medicinal part of this snow feather coat is the purple flower. Other parts have almost no medicinal properties.
The demon princess carefully collected all the flowers of this snow feather and put them into the storage bag. Xiao Ding saw the white flower seeds in the ovary at the bottom of the flower.
There were dozens of flower seeds in total, each about the size of an ordinary quail egg.
Xiao Ding couldn't tell whether these flower seeds were mature, but he still collected them very carefully into the space of the jade pendant.
For the remaining flower plants, Xiao Ding also took out his Earth Fire Mace, transformed it into a convenient chain shovel, and used the shovel head to dig out the roots of the Snow Plumeria from the depths of the snow.
What Xiao Ding thinks is that he can try to use some leaves to refine the elixir first. If it can cure Ouyang Qing, that would be the best. If it doesn't work, then he can also try to plant the Xueyuyi plant in the Qiankun Pot to see if it can survive.
There are also dozens of flower seeds, whether they are mature or not, try planting them first to see if they can grow snow feathers.
However, the climate in his Qiankun Pot World is like spring all year round. There is no winter, and there is no ice and snow environment suitable for the growth of Yuki Yui. He cannot plant it yet.
If you want to try to plant Xue Yuyi in the Qiankun Pot, you can only wait for the five-color sacred stones to upgrade the Qiankun Pot to the second level. Then there may be an environment suitable for the growth of Xue Yuyi.
Only
However, Xiao Ding still lacks a wood-attribute divine stone, and the Qiankun Pot cannot be upgraded for the time being.
After putting the flower-less Snow Yuyi into the space of the jade pendant, everyone flew down the mountain peak together.
Xiaoding, Ouyang Qing, and Ah Li still returned to the tent to meditate instead of resting.
The demon princess asked a maid who practiced fire skills to set fire to the bodies of the demon guards and the row of damaged tents. Then they all returned to the sleigh to rest.
Early the next morning, after everyone had a simple breakfast, Xiao Ding and the other two said goodbye to the demon princess.
Now that you have gotten what you need, there is no need to stay together. Xiao Ding was still thinking of rushing to the southernmost coast of Xuewangzhou as soon as possible, and then looking for the intercontinental teleportation array to return to Huaxuanzhou or Fengluanzhou.
When the demon princess heard Xiao Ding say that she wanted to leave immediately, she actually felt a little disappointed in her heart. However, she now had no excuse to keep Xiao Ding, so she had no choice but to say: "Thank you for helping us these days. If you want to return to the continent where you humans live, just go all the way south. After you get to the beach, you can find a way to cross the Wenxin Sea."
Xiao Ding nodded and said: "Princess, please take care and avoid being attacked by the ghost tribe again. Try to contact the response team sent by your father as soon as possible to avoid being harassed by the ghost tribe again."
The Demon Princess also nodded in agreement, and then said: "Speaking of the Ghost Clan, I remembered one thing. I seem to have heard my father say that the Nether Realm over there from the Ghost Clan seems to have a way to reach you humans. The gateway to the mainland."
"Netherworld, is this the territory of the ghost clan? Where is it exactly?" Xiao Ding asked curiously.
"The Nether Realm is underground in Xue Wangzhou. This is where the ghost tribesmen gather. You can go to the Netherworld Realm from the Wangchen River. However, there are ghost tribesmen everywhere. When they see you humans, they will definitely find ways to drink. Your blood, this is too dangerous, I advise you not to go." The demon princess advised.
"Is there any difference between this Nether Realm and the Netherworld Realm?" Xiao Ding suddenly thought of the underworld and the underworld, and said to himself, I heard that there are ten Yama Kings in the Netherworld Realm, but I wonder if there is a Yama King in this Netherworld Realm.
"Of course there is a difference. The Netherworld is a separate interface, not on our Tiankun planet. It is an interface that coexists with the fairy world, the divine world, and the demon world. The people living in it are ghosts and immortals, such as King Yama, the Bull-headed Horse-faced , Black and White Judge, etc.”
Having said this, the demon princess paused for a moment, and then continued: "The Nether Realm underground in Xuewangzhou is where all the ghost cultivators on Tiankun Planet gather. After you humans die, you will come first Go to the Nether Realm, and then line up to report to the Nether Realm. But there are some lonely ghosts, or ghosts who don’t want to go to the Nether World to follow the path of reincarnation, so they give up going to the Nether Realm and stay in the Nether Realm on their own initiative.”
"Uh..., that's it!" Xiao Ding thought thoughtfully.
"In the Netherworld, there is a Netherworld City, and there is a passage leading to the Netherworld. You human ghosts who want to be reincarnated must report to the Netherworld from this passage. And when you arrive in the Netherworld, can you The ability to be reincarnated and become a human again is decided by King Yama of the Netherworld. Therefore, some human beings did too many bad things during their lives and did not dare to go to the Netherworld after death, so they all stayed in the Netherworld. Slowly becoming a ghost cultivator." The demon princess added.
"If you put it this way, even if there is a passage to our human continent in the Nether Realm, we don't seem to be able to find it!" Xiao Ding said with a frown.
"Yes, the Nether Realm is full of ghost cultivators. Even wild ghosts who have not practiced cultivating are still hostile to humans. If the three of you go there, there is a high probability that you will not come out alive." The demon princess said seriously.
Xiao Ding nodded in thought, and then asked: "Do you think the ghosts gathered in the Nether Realm are all our human ghosts? Then, where do the souls of you demons go after they die?"
"We demons are different from you humans. If we demons die, our souls will immediately disperse and have no place to go. However, if we reach a certain level of cultivation, we can achieve immortality. Just like my father. That way, that is
Even after being sealed for tens of thousands of years, his spirit still exists. However, the ghosts of you humans are not the only ones in the Nether Realm. "The demon princess said methodically.
"Are there souls of other races?" Xiao Ding asked in surprise.
"Of course." The demon princess replied, "In addition to your human souls, the souls of all the animals on Tiankun Planet will also gather in the Nether Realm and wait in line to report to the Nether World. The souls of some animals have arrived in the Netherworld. world, if King Yama thinks that it has not done any bad things or has done some good things during its lifetime, then it may be reborn as a human being, that is, reincarnated as an adult."
"Will the souls of these animals stay in the Nether Realm to practice ghost cultivation?" Xiao Ding asked again.
"There will be some. However, because ordinary animals cannot activate their intelligence when they are alive, the souls after death have low IQs. Therefore, the ghosts of these animals are often replaced by your human ghosts. They can be tamed and become their mounts or ghost pets." The demon princess nodded and said.
Hearing this, Xiao Ding suddenly remembered that when he first came to Tiankun Planet, he settled in Tianyang Sect. Once, he and his senior sister Cheng Yaowei went to the Soul Burial Mountain to look for spiritual plants, and they encountered people from the ghost tribe. He remembered that Senior Sister Cheng Yaomai seemed to have mentioned the term Netherworld at that time. At that time, she also said that there was a place at the northernmost end of Fengluan Continent called Netherworld, which was a gathering place for ghosts similar to Beiwangzhou. connected.
Now the demon princess also said that there is a passage in the Nether Realm underground in Xuewangzhou that is connected to the mainland where humans live. So, will the passage from this Nether Realm to the human continent be relatively close?
