Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 38:Spiritual Sense

"This way, Fellow Daoist. This is where I require your help," Luo Mei said as she walked forward towards the bushes. She had already kept the Ox monster's body in her storage bag.

Meng Yun followed behind her unquestioningly. Alex decided to follow as well. Alex reached where they had stopped behind the bushes and was immediately surprised when he saw what it was.

Hidden behind the bushes was an array of multicolored flowers, thousands in number, all naturally arranged to look like a flower bed. The flowers were all normal looking individually but were a sight to behold when viewed altogether.

This, however, wasn't the most shocking thing to Alex. The thing he was much more surprised about was what was happening to himself.

'This feeling,' he was starting to feel a very intense pull towards one of the flowers. He recalled the time he had fought the 'Earth Snake'. He had had the same feeling that time as well.

'Same feeling… no way!' he looked at the flowers and focused,

[Spirit Cleansing Lily]

'It's the same flower.' To this day, Alex had covertly tried to find out what this flower was in the sect but had no result. Today, he saw one more and was reminded of his 'want' to have it.

He resisted his feeling and looked at Luo Mei. "What do you want me to do, Daoist Luo?" Meng Yun's eyes shot up as she heard him talk to her using her name.

Luo Mei however didn't give it a single thought, instead, all of her focus was on the flowerbed of Spirit Cleansing Lily.

"Do you know what this is, Daoist Yu?" she asked.

Alex just simply answered, "This? This is a flower bed of course."

Luo Mei frowned a little, and asked once more, " Do you know what this flower bed is?" she asked.

Alex saw her frowning face and got scared. He decided to answer properly this time, "I don't know what the flower bed is called, but I know one of the flowers here is the Spirit Cleansing Lily."

Hearing the name, Luo Mei's eyes got bright with excitement and hope. "So you do know the name? Does that mean you can choose the right one?" she asked.

"The right one?" 'was she talking about finding the exact flower' he wondered.

"Yes, the right one. Don't you know that picking the wrong flower makes the entire flower bed wilt?" she asked.

"I didn't," he simply answered.

"Can you pick the right one then?" she asked once more.

"Yes. I can pick the Spirit Cleansing Lily without making a mistake." He said.

Hearing his answer she got even more excited. This was the first time she was showing such expressions. Normally she was very calm and collected.

She took out a storage bag from her side and handed it to Alex. "Check it," she said gesturing the bag.

Treasure. That was the only word Alex could think of when he saw what was inside the bag. There were more monsters and cores in here than what he had collected over the course of the 2 days.

And to make things better, all of them were over Bone Tempering realm. He breathed in a little and killed his own awe. There must've been a reason why she showed him her loot, so he asked," What's the meaning of this, Daoist Luo?"

As if she was waiting for the question, she answered immediately, "If you can bring me the Spirit Cleansing Lily without wilting the entire flower bed, you can keep that bag."

Alex's eyes went wide with excitement now. He could hide his awe, but he couldn't hide his excitement. Still, he tried to keep it on the low and asked her, "Why do you want the lily so bad, Daoist Luo?"

Luo Mei frowned. She was worried if she told him the reason, he would just keep it for himself, or intentionally try to destroy it. That would be too bad for her.

Alex saw her frowning face, and said, "Don't be mistaken, Daoist Luo. I will get the flower to you. I am asking because I only know the flower by name and appearance, and never learned of its use. So I was hoping you could tell me what the use is."

Luo Mei didn't immediately believe him, but decided to explain anyway, "Spirit Cleansing Lily is a precious treasure. If you cultivate overnight with the lily on your body, you will unlock Spiritual Sense."

Meng Yun was surprised her senior sister actually told him the reason.

"Well, there is no point in hiding it anyway. You would know about it sooner or later, given your knowledge." Luo Mei continued.

Alex frowned. 'Spiritual Sense?' he had never seen or heard anyone talk about this, inside or outside the game.

"What is Spiritual Sense, Daoist Luo?" he asked.

She looked at him with a surprised face, "Has no one in Hong Wu Sect told you what it is?" she asked.

Alex laughed a little and shook his head. Luo Mei explained, "Spiritual Sense is a type of sense, or ability, that you can use to sense your surrounding using your mind. There are many abilities that you can use your spiritual sense for. The best explanation is probably that it is similar to Qi for your brain."

Alex had never heard of it, but it sounded good.

"So, can you get it then?" Luo Mei was getting agitated.

Alex immediately went to the flower bed and easily plucked the lily and returned. Luo Mei and Meng Yun were shocked to see how simple that looked.

They had been dreading this for the entire day since yesterday night when they had found it. And somehow this man managed to pick it within 5 seconds. Just how good was his ingredient recognizing skills.

Luo Mei looked at the flower bed and realized he had indeed succeeded. 'This man must be a high-ranking disciple in the Hong Wu sect,' she thought to herself.

"Here you go, Daoist Luo. I hope this fulfills what you required of me."
