In the dark underground space, everyone was waiting, but as time passed by, some people couldn't help but feel anxious.
"I have been waiting here for several hours. When will the Nine Nether Flower appear? Can you and the other four clans give you a count?"
Someone in the crowd asked, but his location could not be found.
No one paid attention, but this person continued, "You four clans are not waiting for an opportunity to clear out us loose cultivators, are you?"
"This is your favorite thing to do. Is there already a circle of you outside?"
As soon as these words came out, many casual cultivators became vigilant and looked at the four clans in one sect and their eyes became unkind.
It's not that they believe other people so casually, but what the other person said is indeed the truth. Although most people don't understand the value of Jiuyou Flower, looking at the reactions of the four clans, they know that it is definitely worth a lot.
According to the usual practice, it is the best way for four clans to choose to clear the place.
Now everyone is waiting here, and the surroundings are pitch black and nothing can be seen. Is it possible that people from four clans are already encircling them and want to catch them all in one fell swoop?
"You think too highly of yourself." Sure enough, this question has arisen, and someone has to respond.
Someone in the Zhao family's team said disdainfully: "Even if you get the Nine Nether Flower, won't you still have to trade with us in the end?"
"Brother Dog is right. The Nine Nether Flower is only effective in our hands. What you guys take is just an ordinary Foundation Building Pill." Someone in the Shui family's team also shouted with a smile.
"Water ghost, if you call me a dog again, you will have your head ripped off!" The Zhao family member threatened in a cold voice.
"Then Brother Laogou will help me find a good place to bury him."
The original topic about the unknown loose cultivator quickly turned back to the conflict between the four clans, and amid such bickering, there was movement in the lake.
The gurgling sound woke everyone up, and they looked towards the center of the lake. There seemed to be huge water bubbles rising from the bottom of the lake, rolling water the moment they broke through the lake surface, causing ripples to spread on the mirror-like lake surface.
"Nineteen of them appeared?" Zhang Qing looked at the nineteen strange places on the lake, but they were different from the number he sensed.
"One is missing. Is it not mature yet, or is it buried underneath?"
The ripples on the lake surface attracted everyone's attention, and then someone noticed a little red light flickering under the lake surface, which seemed to be rushing out of the water.
"Nine Nether Flowers have appeared!"
"Don't do anything!" When many people couldn't bear the greed in their hearts, those foundation builders shouted loudly and stopped everyone.
"The Nine Nether Flowers will not mature until they come out of the water. Any damage at this time may lead to the failure of the Nine Nether Flowers. No one is allowed to enter the lake until all the Nine Nether Flowers surface."
Everyone was breathing heavily and staring at the lake. The majesty of the foundation slowed them down, but once the Nine Nether Flowers emerged, no one could stop them.
In the Zhang family's team, Zhang Junxiu was also talking about this matter, his voice was loud enough that others around him could hear it.
"The Nine Nether Flower is essentially a lotus flower. As for the lotus flower, what can you think of?"
"Reaching out of the silt but not stained?"
"Yes, it can emerge from the mud without staining. The Nine Nether Flower also has this characteristic. There are thousands of them, and ninety-nine percent of them are condensed turbid air. Only the real one is the Nine Nether Flower, and there is no trace of it. The turbidity."
"The reason why Jiuyou Flower will not have turbidity after it matures is because of a process, a process of getting out of the mud, which is what it looks like at this moment."
"The real Nine Nether Flowers need to struggle out of the thousands of turbid Nine Nether Flowers, and at the same time, they need to refine those turbid qi into nutrients for themselves."
"Before they mature completely, thousands of Nine Nether Flowers are fake, but when they mature, only the most real Nine Nether Flowers remain."
"Legend has it that this flower is a flower for immortals to watch during the Thirty-three Days."
"As red as blood, as quiet as water, the Nine Nether Flowers are actually beautiful."
As he spoke, a bright red flower bloomed slowly above the lake. The flower, which did not emit light, dispelled the surrounding darkness and stayed peacefully on the water, swaying with the ripples of the lake, as if a fairy was dancing.
The extraordinary scene made many monks endure it with difficulty, and when the nineteen Nine Nether Flowers fully bloomed and floated on the lake, they could no longer bear it.
"Charge! Grab one and run away!" Someone roared and rushed directly to the position of Jiuyou Flower. With his feet on the lake surface, he quickly approached the position of Jiuyou Flower.
However, there were still many people in the crowd who did not take action. They were looking at the foundation-building monks.
After all, here, it is not just the Qi training of the four clans, but the foundation building is the key.
Sure enough, the first person who came close to the Nine Nether Flower in the late stage of Qi training was cut in half by a ray of sword light, with a horrified expression on his face, and finally sank under the lake, and his vitality quickly disappeared.
This time, no one dared to move anymore, and those monks who had already entered the lake were stuck in a dilemma.
However, Foundation Establishment did not stop, nor did he pay attention to the Nine Nether Flowers. Instead, he rushed directly under the lake.
"Sure enough, there is something more important under the lake." Zhang Qing finally confirmed after seeing this scene, and then heard Zhang Junxiu's voice in front of him.
"Belonging to the Zhang family, Jiuyou Flower is bound to be obtained, so there is no need to hold back!"
"Honor the family order!" Dozens of direct descendants of the Zhang family and those relatives of the family shouted in unison, and followed Zhang Junxiu and rushed to the center of the lake.
The flames formed a wide path under their feet, and dozens of figures covered in flames rushed into it, illuminating the dark underground.
"Tsk, tsk, this is the cohesion of the Immortal Cultivation Family." Jiang Baiyi looked at the charge of the Zhang family with some admiration. In comparison, the Jinlan Sect on the other side did not have such momentum.
As a sect, although their disciples are powerful, they relatively have to fight on their own. Not to mention the Zhang family, several other immortal cultivating families are more powerful than them.
"Let's do it. No matter what, we have to grab a Nine Nether Flower, otherwise we will suffer a big loss."
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Baiyi's eyes bloomed with golden light, and then turned into a sharp blade and charged straight into the lake ahead.
He did not choose the nearest Jiuyouhua, because there were too many disputes there and it was too close to the Zhang family.
Behind them, the eight people also used their own methods to keep up. In the melee of thousands of people, those who could not stick together would undoubtedly die the fastest.
Therefore, although Zhang Qing felt that this team was particularly easy to collapse, at this moment, all nine people spontaneously unleashed their own strength to cooperate with the others.
