Chapter 205 There is still one place that hasn't been found.
Seven-Colored Lotus?
Could it be that sacred, heavenly-grade spiritual plant that can not only revive the dead and heal bones, but also help cultivators heal their wounds, restore their inner cores, and rapidly improve their cultivation?!
How could such a legendary celestial spiritual plant possibly appear here?!
Now, everyone couldn't help but gather around, their eyes fixed intently on the flower petals in Ye Danqing's hand.
The petal was small, but it looked shimmering and colorful; it was clearly not an ordinary item.
Although most disciples did not recognize the Seven-Colored Lotus, it did not stop them from marveling at the petals.
"Although I've never seen a Seven-Colored Lotus before, these petals are so beautiful!"
"Yes, even a single petal is so beautiful, I can't imagine how beautiful the whole flower must be!"
"I can sense a rich spiritual energy emanating from these petals; they are no ordinary petals!"
"Are these really petals from the Seven-Colored Lotus?"
Soon, many people in the crowd recognized the petal and, upon confirming that it was indeed a petal of the Seven-Colored Lotus, couldn't help but show expressions of shock.
Bai Jinyan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "It really is a petal of the Seven-Colored Lotus! It's exactly the same as the one I saw in the ancient book."
Gu Changhuai nodded, "That's right, this is the Seven-Colored Lotus!"
Ye was also incredibly surprised. "This is so lucky! I never thought I'd see the petals of the Seven-Colored Lotus in my lifetime!"
Qin Xiu picked up the flower petal from Ye Danqing's hand, examined it closely, and couldn't help but show a look of delight on his face. Ye Danqing and Ning Wanshuang were also extremely happy.
Great! We've finally found the Seven-Colored Lotus! Master is saved!
Hearing several senior students say this, the crowd erupted in uproar again, everyone was both surprised and delighted.
"My God, there are Seven-Colored Lotuses here! I remember that they are rare spiritual plants that only appear once every thousand years!"
"Yes, yes, I thought this was just a legendary spiritual plant!"
"Since Seven-Colored Lotus petals suddenly drifted down from the sky, doesn't that mean the Seven-Colored Lotus is nearby?!"
"That makes sense! Let's look for it quickly!"
"If we can harvest the Seven-Colored Lotus, then this experience will have been worthwhile!"
While everyone was happy, some people soon started to worry.
"But we don't know exactly where the Seven-Colored Lotus is!"
"That's true. We have no idea where the Seven-Colored Lotus is. It's already dark, so finding it won't be easy..."
Ye Danqing was anxious. He looked around and said in a deep voice, "Let's search this area first."
Everyone readily agreed and went their separate ways.
To prevent anyone from secretly hiding the Seven-Colored Lotus without reporting it, each of the four sects sent a disciple to form a four-person team. However, after an hour, no one had discovered anything.
If Ye Danqing hadn't been holding a petal of the Seven-Colored Lotus in her hand, they would have thought they had guessed wrong!
Someone sighed.
"It seems the Seven-Colored Lotus isn't in this oasis; it must be somewhere else nearby."
"If that's the case, how are we supposed to find it? As soon as we leave this oasis, the puppet army will come after us, and we won't have time to search for it at all!"
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. You can't have your cake and eat it too."
Just then, Ning Wanshuang suddenly spoke up to remind everyone, "Wait a minute! Everyone forgot, there's still one place we haven't looked for!"
Everyone looked at him.
Bai Jinyan and the others suddenly realized something, and their expressions changed instantly.
"We haven't looked for where Fellow Daoist Su and the others are resting, have we?"
Ning Wanshuang looked in the direction Su Luo and the others had left, her eyes gleaming. "And I just noticed that the petals seemed to have drifted from that direction."
Everyone followed the direction of the gaze and their eyes flashed.
Yes, they searched the rest of the oasis, but they couldn't find the location of that group of people!
Suddenly, someone remembered something, "Come to think of it, they came from the front just now, right? And I remember there were two people missing when they came; the other two came later!"
As soon as the words were spoken, people began to stir and everyone started to speculate.
Su Luo and her group came from the front, so did they see the Seven-Colored Lotus? Or did they pick it?
Two people are missing, so what were those two people doing at the time? Is it possible that they were picking Seven-Colored Lotus while they were away?
Someone couldn't help but snort coldly.
"I see! It seems they deliberately kept it from us, which is why they said they wanted that area ahead—they were afraid we'd see the Seven Clouds Lotus!"
"These people are really selfish! The Seven-Colored Lotus is clearly unclaimed, yet they intend to keep it for themselves."
"Exactly! It's unfair! Why are they so selfish? This oasis doesn't belong to them! Since we're here, we should have a share too!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Gu Changhuai frowned, stepped forward, and sternly reprimanded, "Alright, that's enough! No one is allowed to speculate before the matter is confirmed!"
Bai Jinyan's smile faded. He looked at the few guys who had just caused trouble, his eyes turning cold, and then he asked a few questions.
"Did you see the Seven-Colored Lotus with your own eyes? Are you sure there's a Seven-Colored Lotus up ahead? If we go there and don't find it, what responsibility will you bear for your wild guesses?"
The group felt a chill run down their spines under her gaze, shrank back, and dared not utter a word.
They're just speculating! Why should they be held responsible?
Ye Yi also said coldly, "Don't speak recklessly. Do I need to teach you such a principle? It's so late, and you all rush over to question them about whether they saw the Seven-Colored Lotus. Are you trying to start a pointless argument?"
The crowd fell silent instantly; the disciples who had been itching to rush over and question Su Luo and the others turned into quails.
Upon seeing this, Ning Wanshuang frowned.
Why is everyone siding with those people? No way! Her intuition told her that those people must have found the Seven-Colored Lotus, and they were deliberately keeping quiet about it!
How could such precious spiritual plants be allowed to be taken away by those few people?! That would be an absolute waste!
So she said, "Even so, we should still go and ask. If they haven't seen the Seven-Colored Lotus, then we guessed wrong, and there's nothing to lose, right?"
Ye looked at her coldly, "Have you forgotten what Fellow Daoist Su said just now? She told us not to disturb them unnecessarily."
Shen Anzhi followed Ye Qi, nodding repeatedly and saying without any politeness, "That's right, that's right, Senior Sister is right. Besides, even if there really are Seven-Colored Lotuses ahead, it was Chu Wenqing and the others who found them. Are we supposed to just steal them?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Yes, in the cultivation world, whoever finds spiritual plants keeps them! If those people really found them, would they be foolish enough to give them away?
Ye Danqing and Qin Xiu turned pale.
Yeah, they can't exactly rob us, can they?
Seeing their hesitation, Ning Wanshuang pursed her lips reluctantly, then lowered her head sadly. "I don't want to bother them either, but I really have no choice..."
As she spoke, a look of impending tears appeared on her face.
"Master is injured... He really needs the Seven-Colored Lotus, and we really have no other choice! So even if it's just a tiny bit of hope, we have to try..."
Ye Danqing sensed something was wrong halfway through the conversation, but it was too late to stop them. The people from the Tianyi Sect also paled.
Why did Junior Sister/Senior Sister Ning reveal this?!
The others were immediately astonished.
"Elder Qingya Zi is injured? How is that possible?! He's the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage!"
"Yes, yes, how is that possible? We haven't heard a single word about it!"
Gu Changhuai looked at Ye Danqing with a cold face, "Fellow Daoist Ye, is this true?"
With things having come to this, Ye Danqing could only nod helplessly and admit, "It's true. Master is indeed injured, and quite seriously. That's why we entered the secret realm this time to find the Seven-Colored Lotus to heal Master..."
Qin Xiu and the other disciples of Tianyi Sect also lowered their heads in sadness.
Bai Jinyan seized on the key point and asked, "Elder Qingya Zi's cultivation is not shallow, who could possibly harm him?"
Ye Danqing shook his head, his face bitter. "Everyone, there are other secrets to this matter, and it involves the secrets of the Tianyi Sect. Our ancestor forbids us from revealing it, so please do not ask any further questions."
Upon hearing this, no one knew what to say.
Ye Danqing looked ahead, her eyes dim, and sighed, "So we really have no choice... Even though we know this is not good, we have to go and ask Su Luo and the others for clarification."
For his master's sake, even if it meant swallowing his pride and being ridiculed by Su Luo and the others, he had to go and ask, to beg!
Everyone understood that they were trying to save their master, so they couldn't say anything.
However, Ye and the others sighed, ultimately not asking the question that was on their minds.
Ye Danqing and the others need the Seven-Colored Lotus, but if Su Luo and the others really have the Seven-Colored Lotus, are they obligated to give it to them? They have no such obligation!
Moreover, if I remember correctly, Su Luo and the others all really disliked the Tianyi Sect...
