Chapter 970 Wishful Blue Lotus
Fang Yu walked into the Ji family’s courtyard once again.
Ji Rumei caught up with him, handed him the bag of clothes, and said softly: “Mr. Fang… thank you for everything today.”
Fang Yu glanced at Ji Rumei.
Under the moonlight, Ji Rumei’s appearance wasn’t dimmed by the darkness; instead, in the moonlight’s reflection, she radiated a sacred quality.
This scene made Fang Yu feel as if he had experienced it before.
The same face, the same scenario.
Fang Yu’s heart stirred slightly, and he immediately shifted his gaze to look elsewhere.
“I’m leaving. If you come to North Capital, you can contact me anytime,” Fang Yu said.
“Yes, of course!” Ji Rumei’s eyes brightened as she asked, “Mr. Fang… are you inviting me?”
Fang Yu didn’t answer Ji Rumei’s question and activated the Void Ring.
“Whoosh!”
Two seconds later, Fang Yu disappeared from sight.
Ji Rumei stood there stunned for a moment, bit her red lips, and turned to walk back inside.
…
As soon as Fang Yu landed, the Void Beast crawled out from his pocket and ran toward the mountains behind.
“When did it get into my pocket?” Fang Yu frowned slightly as he watched the direction the Void Beast departed.
It was almost eleven at night.
The surroundings were very quiet, with the lights in the bamboo house still on.
Fang Yu leaped to the third floor of the bamboo house and walked into his room.
His room was simply furnished with just a bamboo-woven bed and a table.
Fang Yu sat at the table, about to reach into his pocket to take out the Wishful Cyan Lotus he had obtained from He Ruju.
But before he could move, his heart skipped a beat.
Just now… the Void Beast had crawled out from this very pocket.
The Wishful Cyan Lotus, could it have already been…
Fang Yu’s expression changed as he immediately reached into his pocket.
But surprisingly, the Wishful Cyan Lotus was still there.
Fang Yu took it out.
Direct contact with the cyan lotus brought a feeling of refreshing comfort.
Fang Yu placed the lotus on the table.
Now he had the opportunity to carefully examine this blooming cyan lotus.
It had seven petals in total, all cyan in color.
At the center of the flower, a faint cyan light emanated.
The source of the lotus’s comfortable aura seemed to be coming from the flower’s center.
“What exactly is this? A medicinal herb or a magical treasure?” Fang Yu wondered, narrowing his eyes.
The Wishful Cyan Lotus on the table was like a small lamp.
Fang Yu thought for a moment and activated his Eye of Insight.
In his vision, the Wishful Cyan Lotus transformed into a pure ball of light.
He could see that the center of the lotus—the stamen—was the brightest part.
This area… contained immense energy.
Fang Yu’s eyes returned to normal, and he reached out his right hand to hold the lotus in his palm again.
“How exactly is this used? He Ruju left without explaining clearly,” Fang Yu muttered to himself.
But as he spoke, a warm current suddenly flowed from his palm.
Fang Yu looked up and saw that the Wishful Cyan Lotus had transformed into a beam of light, slowly seeping into his palm.
After absorption, it felt like warm liquid flowing from Fang Yu’s palm, moving through his meridians at a steady pace.
Fang Yu immediately closed his eyes to observe his internal state.
Then, he saw a cyan light flowing along his meridians.
Soon, it had completed one cycle through his meridian system.
The walls of the meridians touched by the cyan light became more crystalline and transparent, almost translucent, emitting a faint glow.
After completing one cycle, the cyan light didn’t stop but continued flowing.
Fang Yu remained motionless, observing the path of the cyan light.
But even after five cycles, the cyan light continued to flow without stopping.
“Is it never going to stop?” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered.
Next, he observed this cyan light for a full three hours.
The cyan light maintained the same speed, continuously flowing through his meridians.
It was like the circulation of true qi, never ceasing.
However, apart from feeling warmth in his meridians, he couldn’t detect any other effects from its continuous flow.
Was this inheritance from a powerful human of the previous era just this thing?
Surely not?
Fang Yu finally accepted reality and withdrew his consciousness, no longer observing the cyan light’s movement.
Although he couldn’t discern its specific function, the Wishful Cyan Lotus had only brought him comfort, with no harmful effects.
Fang Yu stood up, preparing to lie down on the bed.
At that moment, he suddenly noticed a mark appearing on his right palm.
Fang Yu brought his right palm before his eyes and saw that the mark was the pattern of a lotus flower!
It was faint, barely visible unless examined closely.
The location of the lotus pattern was exactly where the Wishful Cyan Lotus had seeped into his body.
Fang Yu tried to wipe away the mark with his left hand but found that it was embedded beneath the skin and couldn’t be erased.
“What exactly is this thing?” Fang Yu frowned.
…
The next morning, Rao Donghai came to visit again.
Fang Yu went directly to the door to meet him.
“Mr. Fang, Old White sent me to inquire about yesterday’s situation,” Rao Donghai said.
“Don’t you have surveillance on all the ancient relic entrances? You should have seen what happened yesterday, so why come specifically to see me?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“We did see… that mysterious man in black didn’t appear,” Rao Donghai said.
“Then why come ask me?” Fang Yu frowned slightly.
“Old White sent me mainly to ask if anything else happened…” Rao Donghai said slowly.
“Oh… you want to know about the situation inside the relic?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said.
“Old White just suspects… whether that mysterious person might have entered the relic using some method to conceal himself,” Rao Donghai said.
“I didn’t see him inside the relic either,” Fang Yu answered directly.
“I see…” Rao Donghai nodded, his expression grave.
Fang Yu didn’t speak further.
Rao Donghai pondered for a moment before saying, “In that case, I’ll go back and report this to Old White.”
With that, Rao Donghai bid farewell and turned to leave.
Fang Yu watched his retreating figure and suddenly remembered something, so he followed.
“I’ll go back with you. I happen to have a question I want to ask him,” Fang Yu said.
Rao Donghai was startled for a moment but didn’t say much.
The two walked together and soon arrived at the Sky Watching Bureau.
White Konggu was sitting in the inner courtyard, his expression equally grave.
Seeing Fang Yu and Rao Donghai arrive together, his expression changed slightly.
“Old White, Mr. Fang didn’t see the mysterious man either,” Rao Donghai stepped forward and said.
White Konggu nodded slightly and looked at Fang Yu, asking, “Why have you come?”
“I wanted to ask if you’ve heard about what’s happened on East Sun Island in the past two days?” Fang Yu asked.
East Sun Island?
White Konggu and Rao Donghai exchanged glances.
The Sky Watching Bureau’s surveillance scope was limited to within Yan Xia.
They didn’t have much understanding of situations in foreign territories.
Especially recently, the Sky Watching Bureau had been extremely busy, focusing their energy on finding the mysterious man in black and monitoring the remaining thirty-plus ancient relic entrances.
“It seems you don’t know,” Fang Yu said, seeing White Konggu and Rao Donghai’s expressions.
“We indeed don’t have much information about foreign territories,” White Konggu said.
“Then you might want to look into it. The major event happening on East Sun Island now might be related to the mysterious man in black you’re looking for.”
With that, Fang Yu turned to leave.
Before departing, Fang Yu glanced once more at the so-called Immortal Communication Stele.
Those five strange yet instantly comprehensible symbols were still at the bottom of the stone tablet.
Da Zhao Mo Shi Huang.
Where did this name come from, and what did it mean?
With these questions in mind, Fang Yu left the Sky Watching Bureau.
“Old White, can we trust what Mr. Fang said?” Rao Donghai asked.
“Regardless, send someone to find out what’s happening on East Sun Island first,” White Konggu said with furrowed brows.
“Yes,” Rao Donghai immediately turned to leave.
Only White Konggu remained in the inner courtyard.
Fang Yu hadn’t encountered that man in black…
This meant another ancient relic wasted.
For Bai Holdings, this was an insignificant matter.
But those old, undying fellows above… would surely complain again.
