Painting of the Nine Immortals

Chapter 407: Kneeling Down

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

One has to admit that the world is a mysterious place with far too many coincidences.

If Ling Xian didn't suddenly soften his heart and agree to help Bai Xiao Qi, he wouldn't have come to the Nan Gong Clan. If he didn't have the Essence of Herbalism, he wouldn't have lifted the curse off the Nan Gong Clan and get his hands on the Devious Disinterment Flower.

To know that the Devious Burial Flower was an astonishing medicine, and since the history of time, not many had appeared. The Devious Disinterment Flower was even more rare. In the entire world and since the beginning of time, nobody had heard of this flower!

In other words, Ling Xian was going to witness the birth of the first Devious Disinterment Flower!

How glorious was this? To say it more accurately, he was not witnessing it firsthand, he was going to create it firsthand. Creating history was something even more glorious!

What a pity though, it will not happen for the time being. Because even though this Devious Burial Flower has satisfied all requirements, to reincarnate, it will take a very long time.

"What a pity. It seems like it will take some time." Ling Xian was feeling a little regretful. But very quickly, he reverted back to normal.

What's there to feel pity for?

It was already a certainty that he will get the Devious Disinterment Flower. Since it was already in his pocket, he will be able to witness this flower's capabilities very soon!

"All I have to do is wait now. After everyone's curse is lifted, I can perform the technique that will transform this flower." Ling Xian mumbled and closed his eyes.

Just like that, time went by.

Because there were many descendants in the Nan Gong House and most of them were training outside, lifting everyone's curse took a long while. After around three days, the half black flower suspending in mid air before him suddenly quivered and began to exude a dark energy.

At the same time, Ling Xian sensed the sudden change in atmosphere and opened his eyes.

"It's starting to shrivel."

Muttering, Ling Xian concentrated and the Flame of Purity began to surge throughout his veins in preparation for what was about to happen next.

One has to admit that coincidences work in miraculous ways.

The way to reincarnate the Flower was to use the Godly Fire. Just like the phoenix Song Jiu Ge, only such rare flames can help with reincarnation.

What a coincidence?

If any tiny thing in this chain of event didn't happen, then the Devious Disinterment Flower would not seen in this world. Luckily, Ling Xian met all the criteria required for this reincarnation.

It was as if Heavens had spoken and he was meant to make history!

"What an interesting turn of events. If anything went wrong, I would not be able to possess such flower. Luckily, the transformation of the flower is for certain now." Ling Xian's lips curled up. He focused his gaze onto the black flower.

The Devious Burial Flower emitted black dark that filled the entire palace. The atmosphere immediately turned eerie.

Then, the flower began to show cracks of drying. After a few seconds, all the pedals detached and began to lose their colors.

Just at that moment, Ling Xian saw his chance and unleashed the Flame of Purity.

"Flame of Purity, go!"

Flicking his finger, a sliver of white flame howled out and wrapped all the pedals and stems.

After a while, rays of black lights were pressured out of the flower and the energy dissipated in the air. The stem of the flower however, exuded a giant wave of milky white light – full of holiness.

It was obvious that the Devious Burial Flower had absorbed the energy from the Flame and began its new life. It wasn't hard to imagine that this process will be a long one. Perhaps it will take three years, perhaps 30.

But one thing is for sure.

No matter how long it will take, the Devious Disinterment Flower will be of great aid to Ling Xian.

"Okay, time will take care of the rest." Ling Xian's lips curled up and delivered the Flame of Purity with the Flower inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals.

The transformation process required a place of silence and safety. The Painting of the Nine Immortals was the best bet.

"This is the end of this. Next, I will have to head the O Yang Clan for the last quest." Ling Xian paused and decided to head to the O Yang Clan right away. The more he waited, the more likely something might happen. He should resolve all the issues as soon as possible.

However, as he was about to leave, he heard clamorous noises from outside the palace.

"To thank Master Xian, we are here to kneel before you!"

"Please show yourself, Master Xian. I have acquired a treasure that I want to give you."

"Master Xian, please come out so I can thank you personally."

Listening to the discussions outside, Ling Xian frowned. But very quickly, he realized why they were here.

The flower had withered. This meant everyone's curse had been lifted. Everyone naturally will want to thank him.

"Not again."

Ling Xian shook his head with a wry smile. It wasn't the first time a group of people visited him. Every single time he had gotten a headache from it.

If this was anyone else, they would love to have someone out their door. However, Ling Xian merely felt helpless. If others knew about this, they would be puking blood from anger!

"Oh well, I will have to go outside and see them." Ling Xian smiled helplessly, pushed open the door and walked out.

Before him was a giant crowd of people. Looking out, there were at least a few thousand. Every single one of them had expression of respect and appreciation. When they saw Ling Xian, shock flashed across their faces.

This… this is the Master Xian who lifted their curses?

So young!

Everyone was feeling extremely shocked. Staring at the handsome young man before them, they couldn't believe it.

They knew very well how horrifying the curse was and understood how difficult it was to break it. After seeing how young Ling Xian was, they felt somewhat ridiculed.

But very quickly, they accepted the fact that the curse had vanished. Their shock was replaced by excitement. As if they saw an immortal, they showed pure respect and excitement.

The next second, everyone exchanged glances. Then, before Ling Xian's baffled gaze, they made a shocking movement.

As if they practiced beforehand, everyone first bowed down to Ling Xian three time, then kneeled down with a thump. They then made a statement in unison.

"Thank you, Master Xian, for saving my life."

At the same time, their foreheads met the ground.

Dong, dong dong….

The sound of everyone kowtowing rung up and filled the air. Everyone had a serious expression as they all kneeled down before him!

For thousands of cultivators to kneel down together, how grand of a scene was this?

The one they were kowtowing to was not their father or mother, nor an immortal or a Buddha. It was a person! How unbelievable was this?
