The bizarre scene left Xiao Hongchen and Ji Juechen completely stunned. The two looked at each other, confirming that the living person, Wang Lin, had indeed vanished into thin air, as if he had left the Douluo Plane entirely.
Having entered the Undead Demigod Plane, Wang Lin felt somewhat helpless, but he had no other choice.
The situation happened suddenly. The Lovesick Heartbreak Red had been sitting in the Eye of Ice and Fire untouched.
Wang Lin hadn't specifically thought about giving the Lovesick Heartbreak Red to Ji Juechen before. After all, according to the records left by Tang San, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Ji Juechen didn't match at all.
The specific idea only emerged after researching the Lovesick Heartbreak Red with Elder Yi last night.
This was also thanks to Electrolux not believing in love, which sparked his interest in researching it.
Since the master and disciple only confirmed this matter last night, Wang Lin naturally hadn't been in a rush to take it out of the Undead Demigod Plane. How could he have known he would need to use it today?
As for the issue of the Undead Demigod Plane, Wang Lin believed that neither Xiao Hongchen nor Ji Juechen would speak of it before receiving his instructions.
Even if they did speak of it, no one would believe them. This matter was too inconceivable for the Douluo Continent.
After explaining the situation outside to Electrolux, Electrolux did not refuse. He waited for Wang Lin to dig up a stalk of Lovesick Heartbreak Red and then returned with him to the Douluo Plane to see the situation.
Although Wang Lin's action might waste a stalk of Lovesick Heartbreak Red, it didn't matter. There were three stalks in total, enough to afford some waste.
Wang Lin returned to the laboratory holding a white flower in his hand, instantly attracting the attention of Xiao Hongchen and Ji Juechen, who were looking for him.
"Where did you just go?"
Xiao Hongchen's voice was filled with astonishment. As his voice fell, both he and Ji Juechen noticed the white flower in Wang Lin's hand.
The white flower was only palm-sized, shaped like a peony, with no grass leaves. Its stem was connected to a large stone. The stone was entirely black. Judging by the tautness of the flower's stem, one could tell the stone was quite heavy.
"It's a secret!"
Wang Lin shook his head and didn't answer. instead, he placed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red on the ground and looked at Ji Juechen.
"Come, Brother Juechen. Think of your sword and spit a mouthful of heart's blood onto it."
After telling Ji Juechen the method, Wang Lin pulled the confused Xiao Hongchen back, leaving space for Ji Juechen.
Compared to why Wang Lin had suddenly disappeared, Ji Juechen was clearly more concerned about whether this Lovesick Heartbreak Red had the effect Wang Lin described.
Buzz!
The black long sword in his arms, which looked like a fire poker, trembled slightly.
Sword Lunatic, Sword Lunatic. Obsessed with the sword, devoted to the sword. In his eyes, there was only the sword.
Permeated with sword intent, Ji Juechen did not hesitate to strike his own chest with his hand.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of crimson blood sprayed out, splashing onto the small white flower.
The crimson blood quietly seeped into the small flower, and a layer of holy light quietly emanated from it.
Enveloping Ji Juechen within it, the small flower trembled slightly, struggling upwards.
Wang Lin and Electrolux, who was floating beside him, stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.
Even Xiao Hongchen, who was puzzled about why Wang Lin had suddenly disappeared and reappeared, was attracted by this peculiar scene at this moment.
Buzz!
A crisp sword hum rang out from the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. The almost invisible blood vein on the petals also changed at this moment.
It gradually twisted into the shape of a long sword, and an indescribable sword intent emanated from the small flower.
The roots of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red that were wrapped around the Ebony Severing Stone also quietly retracted.
The Lovesick Heartbreak Red floated quietly in front of Ji Juechen. Although it still looked like a flower, it gave the feeling of a sharp long sword.
"This is sword intent!?"
Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but lose his voice. He actually felt a sword intent similar to that on Ji Juechen from a flower.
It was also at this moment that a smile suddenly appeared on Ji Juechen's cold face. The sword intent on his body erupted similarly, without swinging his sword.
Only the long sword in his arms hummed, unexpectedly resonating with the same sword sound as the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. Even the sword intent on his body became incomprehensible.
"Sure enough, all that love stuff is nonsense. Using love to pick the herb is just a shortcut for mediocre people!"
Wang Lin said, looking at the Lovesick Heartbreak Red floating in front of Ji Juechen. The effect produced by infusing the Lovesick Heartbreak Red with sword will was inevitably completely different from that of infusing it with love.
He could feel that if other people took this Lovesick Heartbreak Red, they would at least be able to comprehend the Sword Dao just like Ji Juechen.
They would walk the same path as Ji Juechen. It should be known that Ji Juechen's innate soul power was only Level 3, yet he could rely on this path to reach the cultivation of a Soul Emperor at the age of twenty.
This showed Ji Juechen's formidable nature. To reach such cultivation at the age of twenty, even those monsters at Shrek Academy were nothing more than this.
An immortal herb that could allow other Soul Masters to replicate Ji Juechen's path was far more precious than an immortal herb that could increase lifespan.
"Hmm, you can change its name. Think about it, Little Linzi."
Electrolux, who had quietly watched the whole process from the side, nodded. He didn't stay; his figure flashed and he returned directly to the Undead Demigod Plane.
"How about calling it Determination Grass, Little Xiao?"
Wang Lin's voice woke Xiao Hongchen from his shock.
"What the... What kind of terrible name is that? It's better to call it One Thought Seeking the Way Flower."
As Xiao Hongchen spoke, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.
"That is indeed better than mine. Let's call it that then."
Wang Lin scratched his head. He saw the black fire-poker-like long sword in Ji Juechen's arms float into mid-air.
The humming sound released by the long sword seemed to resonate with the One Thought Seeking the Way Flower floating in front of Ji Juechen.
As the melodious sword hum sounded, the One Thought Seeking the Way Flower and the long sword attracted each other and actually began to slowly merge.
It was as if two long swords were merging at this moment. Invisible power surged into Ji Juechen's body. While his aura was slowly rising.
The One Thought Seeking the Way Flower suddenly turned into a brand on the long sword, just like the chrysanthemum mark on Wang Lin's chest.
A faint white flower mark appeared on the surface of the fire-poker-like long sword, looking exactly like the One Thought Seeking the Way Flower.
A faint crack also appeared between the blade and the guard of the fire-poker-like sword, as if the original blade had turned into a scabbard.
The true blade was hidden within the scabbard, waiting for the moment to be unsheathed.
The long sword fell back into Ji Juechen's hand. His sword intent became restrained at this moment. He turned to look at Wang Lin, the gratitude in his eyes unconcealed.
"Since it succeeded, then work for me for ten years. During this period, I will find you evenly matched opponents. I won't give you any other instructions. Brother Juechen, what you have to do is defeat, or even kill, the opponents I find for you!"
As Wang Lin spoke, he seemed to think of something and added: "During this period, aside from the forces you have already joined, if you want to join other forces, you must obtain my consent."
Ji Juechen's gaze was burning as he responded to Wang Lin.
"Agreed!"
