Chapter 12: Five Petal Yang Flower



Chapter 12: Five Petal Yang Flower

Swish!

'Crap!'

Lin Xiao swung his right hand and stabbed it towards the mountain. The short sword that he was holding was embedded deeply into the rock as his body slammed heavily onto the rocky wall before him.

Thunk!

'Hurts….'

Even though he couldn't tell whether he was wounded or not, Lin Xiao knew that he had to hurry and go down soon. If he dared to linger in this place any longer, he believed that this place would soon become his grave.

'Calm down.'

Swinging his body, Lin Xiao fixed his legs position and slowly pulled out his small sword and began to climb down the mountain once more. His back was filled with sweat, yet he didn't dare to linger here any longer in fear that he might die for real if he dared to stay here any longer.

Step by step, Lin Xiao descended the mountain.

The journey that was usually so easy became difficult when one of his hand was restricted. This was the first time Lin Xiao ever encountered a previous flower like this. Due to the limitation of his own physique and rank, Lin Xiao had never dared to attempt climbing further in the past.

Tep.

By the time he reaching the ground, Lin Xiao was so relieved. The seconds felt like hours when he was descending.

'Hehe, this might be Yang type flower. If it's true, it might be able to help my brother.'

Turning his body around, Lin Xiao rushed back home with his left hand still holding onto the fiery red flower. It didn't take long for Lin Xiao to reach back home even with the sun hadn't set completely in the horizon.

"Yun!"

"Brother?" Lin Yun peeked out from the window. He had just finished cooking, so he put down the bowl in his hand when he saw his brother came in. "What happened? It's rare to see you so happy, Brother."

"I found a valuable herb," Lin Xiao said proudly while showing the flower that he was holding. The dirt had already dirtied his left hand and some of them fell on his way here. It caused his left hand to turn red due to the heat that the flower gave out.

"That's Five Petal Yang Flower!" Lin Yun said with a surprise.

Thud!

They heard the sound of something fell and turned their head to look at Lin Xiao's bedroom. Wenren Yun scampered out when he heard the name of the flower. Even though he was injured, he had completely forgotten about it the moment he heard the flower's name.

Looking at the flower in Lin Xiao's hand and the scalding red color of Lin Xiao's left hand, his face flushed red in excitement.

"It's really Five Petal Yang Flower! Quick, you should put it down and tend it properly if you don't want your hand to burn!"

"Ah, I'll bring the pot out."

There were several unused plant's pot inside their home. Most of the herbs were already used up by Lin Yun since it was needed. There were only a few of the herbs left that Lin Yun still tended every day carefully.

Before long, Lin Yun came back with a pot in his hand. "Let me help, Bro."

"There's no need."

Putting the flower carefully into the pot, Lin Xiao only signaled for Lin Yun to get more dirt. As Lin Yun walked out, Lin Xiao looked at Wenren Yu. "This flower can be used to help my brother, right?"

"Help? Ah, right! Yes, it can," Wenren Yu replied hurriedly. "However, this flower is a bit too strong, so I'll have to mix it with other herbs or it'll have too strong of an effect. In addition, I will need a lot of water to boil it."

A lot of water?

Thinking about how his hand was scalding hot even though there was a layer of dirt separating him with the flower, Lin Xiao nodded. Ordinary water would evaporate almost immediately when it came in contact with the flower.

"Also, you will need to place the pot on top of a rock with a hole on top of it that's filled with water."

"I'll bring water first. Put it on the backyard fist when my brother returns."

"Ok."

Lin Xiao took the buckets from the side along with his water gourd and rushed to the river. It didn't take long for him to reach there and filled the water while washing his hand. The surface of his hand's skin was coming out. The appearance looked unsightly.

'It's hurt to touch too.'

Burying his hand inside the water, Lin Xiao sighed. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to use his left hand properly for the next few days until it healed completely.

Swish!

Lin Xiao returned back to the house and poured the water in the buckets into the large pot where they stored their water. After he was done, he brought one bucket with him and walked to the backyard. Both Wenren Yu and Lin Yun were already waiting there.

"You're surprisingly hardy even though you're wounded," Lin Xiao commented when he saw how Wenren Yu was still standing perfectly well.

Wenren Yu laughed. "I'm already mostly healed. I brought some medicine along with me and it's quite effective for external wound."

"Good then."

In truth, Wenren Yu still felt pain, but he didn't want to miss this. As an outer disciple, there was not much chance for him to tend to herbs before, so he wanted to have the chance to interact with herbs again now.

"As for the rock?"

"Let's just pierce it open with Mountain's Punch!" Lin Xiao grinned.

Lin Yun: "…" Brother, you actually want to use this chance to practice?

Wenren Yu: "…" Did I just meet with an idiot?

Sua! Sua!

In the end, Lin Yun and Wenren Yu chose to rest early while Lin Xiao continued to punch the surface of the rock to make it curve inside. Thanks to Wenren Yu, Lin Xiao's mastery over Mountain's Punch had gotten better. But it still took him three hours before the hole was big enough to fit the pot and the water.
