Mount Fangcun, Immortal Spirit Peak, within the short-stay palace.

The clear, smooth mirror reflection showed the lazy face of the woman, a soft blush spread across her gentle, watery skin. Lu Ye stood behind Su Yuqing, holding a jade comb, helping her arrange her hair.

The woman's body seemed somewhat soft, lazily leaning against the chair with a smile on her face. She softly spoke, "I went to take a look at the Thousand Mounds Cemetery. It's indeed extremely strange there. I tried to destroy the mound you mentioned, and just as I made a move, that huge azure bird you talked about suddenly appeared from nowhere. It just watched me, and I dared not act recklessly again."

Before Lu Ye left last time, he asked Su Yuqing to take a look at the Thousand Mounds Cemetery. The marvelous things within those mounds could directly enhance the domain foundation.

Sun Blaze's pace is undoubtedly swift, so in just over a year, Su Yuqing had made a round trip.

If not for that azure bird, Su Yuqing, with Sun Blaze's power, might not have had much trouble breaking the mounds and taking something out. Unfortunately, that azure bird seemed to regard those mounds as its forbidden domain, not allowing others to touch them.

Thankfully, the azure bird did not attack Su Yuqing, or Su Yuqing would probably not be its match.

"Let's not bother with it then," Lu Ye nodded. "Thank you for making the trip."

Su Yuqing shook her head, saying, "With nothing else to do, also about the Secret of the Three Blossoms, you can try checking in Xiyuan Pavilion, there might be some records."

"Not even you know about it?" Lu Ye continued his actions, asking. He hadn't gathered much from Xuyuan and hoped Su Yuqing might know something, but she didn't.

Su Yuqing replied, "I've heard a little about it before, but just hearsay. Those fellow cultivators who spoke about it were not deeply familiar with it either. I only know it's a very ancient method, even traceable back to the archaic era."

Lu Ye understood, "Then I'll go see in Xiyuan Pavilion."

During that period, when he first stumbled upon Mount Fangcun, he stayed a considerable time in Xiyuan Pavilion, copied many pieces of information from the stellar space and brought them back to the Nine Provinces. But at that time, his status was that of a visitor, and his cultivation was low, so the upper floors of Xiyuan Pavilion were not accessible to him.

The items stored there are the real secrets.

In the midst of conversation, Lu Ye stopped his actions.

"What's the matter?" Su Yuqing asked in confusion, as she looked up at the mirror, only to see Lu Ye with his head down, gazing greedily at that full curve like a leech.

From Lu Ye's angle, the perfect curve wrapped tightly in clothes roused an irresistible urge to destroy that perfection.

"You..." Su Yuqing lifted her gaze, her eyes turning misty.

And then, she was scooped up across her body. She couldn't help but sigh softly, burying her head into that broad chest.

...

Two days later, Lu Ye entered Xiyuan Pavilion, feeling refreshed and high-spirited.

Sun Blaze. Just like that!

Still not as impressive as Hua Ci's prowess at thirty percent. Thinking back to the days spent with Hua Ci, he was the one left weak-kneed.

Previously, it was reasonable due to insufficient strength and cultivation; now things are different, and the reputation as the top under Sun Blaze cannot be just idle claims.

It was earned through blade and blood, that reputation's beneath the mountain of corpses and sea of blood of the Zixuan demon cultivators.

Who knows when Hua Ci will break her seclusion and release her seal, Lu Ye harbors a simmering determination, ready for that venomous woman to meet his strength!

Entering Xiyuan Pavilion, Lu Ye proceeded directly to the upper floors and began searching through jade slips one by one.

Originally wanting to find records about the Secret of the Three Blossoms, but upon arrival he found many pieces of intriguing information and messages, and began to attentively explore them.

As his cultivation improves, he encounters more situations, and one day, some of this intelligence may prove unexpectedly useful.

Days passed day by day.

Lu Ye became utterly engrossed in the depths of Xiyuan Pavilion.

Until one day, when he casually picked up a jade slip, his Mental Consciousness touched it, and the large words "Three Blossoms Theory" suddenly appeared before his eyes!

Lu Ye was first stunned, then immediately invigorated.

He quickly and cautiously delved into its contents.

It's undeniable that the information recorded here in Xiyuan Pavilion is incredibly complex, some jade slips are ancient, and the recorded information within them is often incomplete.

Lu Ye had already encountered many such jade slips.

This jade slip about Three Blossoms Theory undoubtedly dates back to a very old era, and the information recorded is not fully complete, yet the missing parts are not too crucial and can largely be inferred.

Lu Ye soon finished reading it, revealing a disappointed expression.

Even this jade slip merely made a brief mention of the Three Blossoms Theory without diving deeper, leaving nothing regarding the transcendence secret associated with cultivators condensing the Three Blossoms.

But from this jade slip, Lu Ye learned something, exactly what Su Yuqing mentioned earlier.

The condensation of Three Blossoms is indeed an ancient method, traceable back to the archaic era when cultivators were still in the exploratory stages of cultivation, and some great pioneer discovered the path of condensing Three Blossoms, which then spread.

Moreover, the environment during that era was favorable for the transmission of this method, leading many cultivators of that time to gather their own Three Blossoms. However, how many succeeded remains unknown.

Yet even achieving it in just one realm would significantly enhance a cultivator's strength.

However, as the era advanced and cultivation environments evolved, the Three Blossoms method gradually fell out of use because it imposed too stringent demands on cultivators, requiring each realm within the upper three realms to be perfected.

Hence, in the present stage, few cultivators know the Secret of the Three Blossoms as it had been discarded countless years ago.

Seeing this, Lu Ye was greatly astonished.

Picking up outdated things for cultivation, is it appropriate? Being outdated implies that it doesn't fit the current era.

However, settling my mind, on further reflection, regardless of whether it is outdated by the era, I have indeed benefited from it.

Because the process of condensing the Three Blossoms is about honing one's realm to the extreme.

Take the Constellation Realm, for instance; when it was possible to advance to Moon Jade, Lu Ye didn't choose to do so but followed Reincarnation Tree's suggestion to visit the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, condensing the Body Flower.

This pushed his physique to the limit in the Constellation Realm, becoming stronger than before, with a more solid foundation.

Thus, under the same level of cultivation, the strength, speed, and reaction capabilities of his actions were all stronger than those of other cultivators.

And given the Reincarnation Tree's knowledge and experience, if this thing weren't good enough, why would it suggest I visit the Yin-Yang Great Millstone?

Thinking of the Reincarnation Tree, Lu Ye couldn't help but recall the spirit light he gained while advancing to Constellation from the Taichu Realm...

The cultivation of the Three Blossoms is an ancient method, and the spirit light obtained when advancing to Constellation was born from an extremely ancient environment.

If thinking this way, could the abandonment of the ancient Three Blossoms Method be related to the cultivators no longer obtaining ancient spirit light? Having obtained it and thus advanced to Constellation, is this why Reincarnation Tree directed me to tread this ancient path?

Lu Ye couldn't decipher the thoughts of Tree Elder, but from the current situation, his conjecture seemed to have no issue.

He gradually comprehended something.

Those cultivators who once triumphed in the Divine Sea struggle within Taichu Realm likely all possessed the qualifications to refine the Three Blossoms.

Yet, it's merely a qualification!

Whether one can condense the Three Blossoms depends on personal effort and fortune.

The jade slip also provides an intelligence, a cultivator wishing to condense the Three Blossoms for themselves must ensure every detail in each realm achieves perfection to truly reach the extreme!

Take the Constellation Realm, for instance; Lu Ye's physique is exceptionally strong and solid, and due to the refining of much Sacred Blood from the Blood Ancestor, his blood Qi surged to the extreme. But even so, it hadn't reached the utmost.

Only after visiting the Yin-Yang Great Millstone and being ground by that intangible mysterious power did an astonishing leap occur.

This is the detail.

What details can be honed in the Moon Jade Realm?

Lu Ye couldn't help but delve into thought; after advancing to Moon Jade, a cultivator's entire spirit force transforms into mana, which must be sufficiently pure—this poses no issue for him. Must the circulation speed of mana be sufficiently fast?

He feels there's no significant issue with this either.

Is the reserve sufficiently vast?

That's inherently tied to the realm, and considering he already ruled out this factor since even if he continues cultivation under the All Phenomena Ocean, it solely enhances his mana reserves.

But besides the cultivator's mana in Moon Jade Realm, what else can be polished?

In contemplation, Lu Ye's expression suddenly stiffened as something struck him.

Magic Source!

Indeed, advancing from Constellation to Moon Jade involves not only the transformation of spirit force into mana but fundamentally lies in the Magic Source!

It's precisely due to the birth of the Magic Source that mana comes into being.

Without a doubt, this is the greatest detail needing refinement in the Moon Jade Realm—how could he have overlooked it?

Although he cannot yet confirm, Lu Ye realizes he's probably identified the correct direction; to condense Qi Flower in Moon Jade Realm, his Magic Source quality must reach the appropriate level!

Lu Ye's head instantly felt heavy.

Previously, he'd made efforts in this area but with little success, and since his cultivation primarily relied on the Talent Tree's power, the impact of Magic Source quality on cultivation efficiency was secondary. Hence, after not achieving significant results, he paid little attention.

His Magic Source quality isn't exceedingly high but presumably isn't low either; it's sufficient.

From the spoils captured on Zixuan Island, there was a treasure capable of enhancing Magic Source quality, which he sent over to Cheling World, pleasing Aunt Yue greatly.

If the quality of the Magic Source indeed affects the Qi Flower condensation, then the issue is substantial!

He likely needs not just one or two treasures capable of enhancing Magic Source quality but many.

Holding the jade slip, Lu Ye couldn't help but click his tongue; if he returns to All Phenomena Ocean and approaches Aunt Yue in Cheling World to request that treasure, he wonders if he'd be chased away by Aunt Yue.

Besides, asking for items after sending them isn't very proper.

Lu Ye hadn't expected to worry about cultivation resources one day; given the current wealth of Three Worlds Island, he doesn't lack spirit jade, has abundant spirit crystal reserves, and can simply inform Second Senior Sister if he needs elixir pills, and with the pill gourd, she can easily refine them.

For anything else, he can directly use spirit jade to purchase. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Except for this rare item enhancing Magic Source quality... genuinely hard to buy even with money!

What to do? Lu Ye couldn't help but delve into contemplation.

Thinking thoroughly hasn't presented any worthwhile solution unless he abandons condensing Qi Flower; however, that would render previous efforts to condense Body Flower meaningless, and he also deeply wishes to uncover the transcendent secret after the Three Blossoms converge.

Furthermore, the process of condensing the Three Blossoms involves honing one's limits; he isn't inclined to abandon it, for even if ultimately unsuccessful in forming Qi Flower, such refinement brings solely benefits without drawbacks.
