Chapter 374: Chapter 220: Contract: Blood Bone Mayfly

Zhong Yi said to Flower Venerable through the Signal Cicada.

"Aunt Ying, the Thunder Abyss Federation is on the Lanzhou Continent, next to Dragon’s Roost Continent. A round trip will take you at least half a year."

"If you don’t have a prior appointment with that Six-finger Creator in the Thunder Abyss Federation, I’m afraid that even if you go, he might not be able to concoct a Potion for you right away."

"Why don’t you come here to enter seclusion? Grandmaster Tao En’s long period of accumulation has finally paid off, and he’s now successfully been promoted to a Six-finger Creator."

"Aunt Ying, if you need any Sixth Level Potions concocted, you can speak directly with Grandmaster Tao En."

"With Grandmaster Tao En’s help, Aunt Ying, you should be able to smoothly advance to the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations very soon."

To strengthen his own Guardian Beasts, the Dragon Emperor had forced Flower Venerable to postpone her appointments with two Six-finger Creators.

Flower Venerable was so desperate that she was willing to leave the Xin Xia Federation at a time like this, venturing to continents beyond Dragon’s Roost to find a Six-finger Creator.

The Dragon Emperor had essentially stolen Flower Venerable’s opportunity!

Zhong Yi completely understood why Flower Venerable so urgently needed the resources of a Six-finger Creator at this juncture.

An Order Beast’s Bloodline will not undergo Evolution as its Quality is enhanced, all the way up to the Eternal Tier.

The moment it steps onto the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations is the one and only opportunity for an Order Beast’s Bloodline to undergo a metamorphosis.

When an Order Beast’s Bloodline transforms, the Rule Authority it commands also expands.

This is a heaven-defying, fate-altering opportunity for a Celestial Destiny Seeker.

Even before she was infested by the seed of the Judgment Evil Lotus, Flower Venerable had been accumulating resources. She was preparing for the moment she stepped onto the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations, ensuring her Order Beast’s Bloodline could transform and its Rule Authority could expand.

Flower Venerable wanted to advance to the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations, but she also had to ensure she seized this one and only chance for her Order Beast’s transformation.

In truth, Flower Venerable knew, even without Zhong Yi telling her, that the Six-finger Creator in the Thunder Abyss Federation—with whom she had a reasonably good relationship—would most likely have a hard time making time to concoct Sixth Level Potions for her.

Furthermore, to guarantee her Order Beast’s Bloodline transformation, Flower Venerable would need a considerable number of Sixth Level Potions.

When the Dragon Emperor suggested that the two Six-finger Creators should help strengthen his Guardian Beasts, Flower Venerable had tried to negotiate with him.

The Dragon Emperor bluntly told Flower Venerable that for the next three years, these two Six-finger Creators would be serving him.

He also implied that the two Six-finger Creators were his followers in the first place.

Flower Venerable couldn’t just wait around doing nothing for three whole years.

Of the other Six-finger Creators in the Xin Xia Federation, Flower Venerable had alienated two of them in her effort to befriend the pair who followed the Dragon Emperor.

Of the other two Six-finger Creators, one served only the Imperial Capital’s Noble Fang Family.

The other was a wanderer who loved nature and was notoriously elusive.

It was highly likely they weren’t even in the Xin Xia Federation at the moment.

If she’d had any other choice, Flower Venerable would never have considered leaving the Xin Xia Federation at a time like this.

But upon hearing that Tao En had been promoted to a Six-finger Creator and that Zhong Yi was inviting her to his residence to enter seclusion—proactively offering her the resources of a Six-finger Creator—Flower Venerable was overcome with emotion.

’Zhong Yi first saved me, taking that evil seed out of my body and giving me the chance to advance to the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations.’

’Now, when I need help the most, Zhong Yi is helping me again.’

’He’s allowing me to advance toward the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations while ensuring my Order Beast’s Bloodline can transform.’

’Such kindness... I don’t know how I can ever repay him.’

’And on top of all that, Zhong Yi is also helping my sister with her Sixth Nirvana.’

Flower Venerable composed her emotions, and after a long moment, she finally spoke.

"Xiaoyi, in that case, I will head over tomorrow."

"I heard from Star Night that you’ve formed a faction called Soul Soil."

"I was wondering if you’re still recruiting. I would like to join Soul Soil, and bring Suxin with me."

Flower Venerable felt she had no other way to repay Zhong Yi.

’When it comes to strength, I’m no match for Star Night. Star Night gave Zhong Yi the Instant Jade and serves as his Guardian.’

’Star Night will ensure Zhong Yi’s safety.’

’To step onto the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations, I’ll need Tao En to help me concoct at least a dozen Sixth Level Potions.’ ℯ

Flower Venerable couldn’t, in good conscience, simply accept the Six-finger Creator’s resources from Zhong Yi without offering something significant in return.

And so, Flower Venerable decided that the best course of action was to join Zhong Yi’s faction, bringing her sister with her.

’In the Xin Xia Federation, I’m the strongest person below the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations.’

’But after obtaining the Source Material Celestial Shuttle and entering the Virtual Human Network, I came to understand the vastness of the world.’

’Even someone as sheltered as a frog in a well would no longer limit their gaze to their immediate surroundings.’

Joining Soul Soil, the faction Zhong Yi established, was equivalent to accepting Zhong Yi as her leader.

Flower Venerable felt no burden or discomfort about this whatsoever.

Though Zhong Yi’s current strength was low, Flower Venerable believed in her heart that his future accomplishments would surely surpass those of the Dragon Emperor.

’Zhong Yi possesses such a Healing Ability, and he gained the allegiance of a Six-finger Creator while only at the Mortal Beast Tier.’

’Zhong Yi’s future prospects are simply limitless!’

’Following Zhong Yi and joining his faction is a way to repay his kindness, and at the same time, it secures a good future for me and my sister.’

Flower Venerable had never felt any deep affection for the Xin Xia Federation to begin with.

In her youth, she had risen from a humble background and had been sabotaged by two old, established factions.

If not for this lack of deep affection for the Xin Xia Federation, she would never have agreed to help Zhong Yi with matters that went against the Federation’s interests.
