Wei Lan was silent for a moment because if what the guard said was true; then the consequences would be dire.
Lin Xian glanced at the Wuxi Flower again.
"System, can you do something about this Wuxi Flower?" Lin Xian asked in his mind.
[DING!]
[Yes. The system can absorb Wuxi Flowers to upgrade so that all functions increase dramatically]
The answer from the system made Lin Xian's face brighten up instantly.
If the system is upgraded, the tracking function, analysis speed, and others will improve.
"Is there any influence on the buying and selling system?" Lin Xian asked in his mind.
[DING!]
[Nothing, apart from buying and selling features, points gain, everything has increased. Please note that all items locked for purchase at the mortal level will be unlocked]
Lin Xian was disappointed that the buying and selling system had no upgrades because that was where he received the most points.
"Can I get a new power?"
Lin Xian asked again in his mind.
[DING!]
[Yes. New powers can also Host get]
Lin Xian was even more excited because all items in the Mortal Realm could be purchased when the system absorbed the Wuxi Flower. Especially after hearing the information that he could get a new power made him even more excited.
"Absorb!" Lin Xian's order in his mind.
[Host must at least touch the Wuxi Flower for less than 1 minute, which means, Host will lose 10% of Host's lifespan at most. The system will try to protect the Host as much as it can; if there is no system, the Host will lose all lifespan within 1 minute]
Lin Xian's face twitched as he didn't expect his age to be the price he had to pay.
"Is there no other way?" Lin Xian asked in his mind.
[No. However, the Host has a chance to restore Host's lifespan absorbed by the Wuxi Flower by purchasing certain potions from the system. Chances are 6 - 7% host lifespan will return]
"How much does it cost?" Lin Xian asked.
[Items are still locked]
The system's reply irritated Lin Xian a little.
"Wei, I want to do something about this Wuxi Flower. Take care of the area so that no one disturbs us," said Lin Xian, who was sure of his decision.
"What would you do?" Wei Lan asked curiously.
"You will find out later. Hurry up; otherwise, the guards might come to this place to interfere." Lin Xian said.
Black lines appeared on the woman's forehead as Lin Xian gave her orders. But the woman didn't ask anymore and nodded even though she wanted to beat up Lin Xian when she was done.
Wei Lan immediately went to a certain place to track all the guards' movements so as not to get close to the location of the Wuxi Flower.
Seeing that the woman had left, Lin Xian wasted no time.
"System, when I touch the Wuxi Flower, immediately carry out the absorption process!" Lin Xian ordered.
[Held]
Hearing the system's reply, Lin Xian touched the Wuxi Flower directly. When he touched it, he opened his eyes wide because it was true that he would die very quickly if there was no protection from the system.
[DING!]
[Start absorbing Wuxi Flower To increase System function]
[DING!]
[Host's life force is being absorbed at very high speed. Auto protection against high-level energy is neutralized for 1 minute]
[Start Absorption Process]
[5%- 10% - 15% - 20% - 25%...]
Lin Xian felt his hands very tingling at this moment when he held the Wuxi Flower. He felt something from his body continue to flow into the Wuxi Flower. He also knew that he could not let go of his hands. Perhaps because of this, no one survived while holding the Wuxi Flower.
In the distance, Wei Lan certainly saw what Lin Xian was doing. She was very surprised and was about to stop Lin Xian.
But she stopped when she looked at Lin Xian, who seemed to concentrate on something.
DRRRRTTTT!
An intense shock occurred as the Wuxi Flower continued to be absorbed by the system.
That incident made the cultivators in Wu-Lang City extremely shocked. Even the cultivators who were in the match stopped what they were doing.
"What happened?"
"What is this shock?"
"Was there a natural disaster?"
The cultivators were talking here and there because the shaking was getting stronger occasionally.
Even the Patriarchs of the prominent clans thought about the many possibilities of what was happening right now.
In thought for a moment, Shin Tang opened his eyes wide and stared at Pyramid Wu.
"This... Does someone finally have the ability to take the Wuxi Flower?" Shin Tang made wild speculations. What he predicted came true because Lin Xian, or the system, absorbed the Wuxi Flower to enhance its functions.
The Patriarchs who heard Shin Tang's words also put on ugly faces because they originally planned to take the Wuxi Flower. They knew the consequence would be dead even though they didn't know what happened after they managed to take the Wuxi Flower.
All of the Patriarchs in that place thought their strength and life would greatly increase when they took the Wuxi Flower.
Knowing what was going on, the cultivators immediately moved toward Pyramid Wu. All Patriarchs did the same, and Shin Tang was no exception.
[80% - 85% - 90% - 95% - 96% - 97%...]
"It won't be long now." Lin Xian thought.
Wei Lan remained silent despite the intense shaking. She didn't know what would happen after Lin Xian succeeded in taking the Wuxi Flower.
However, Wei Lan's face became ugly because many cultivators closed in on Lin Xian.
"That's bad! If they all close in and attack Xian'er, even the duplicate Master won't be able to fight back!" Wei Lan immediately approached Lin Xian to stop him.
Suddenly, Wei Lan immediately spoke, "Xian'er, many cultivators are approaching; stop what you're doing!"
"What?" Lin Xian was shocked to hear that.
When Wei Lan wanted to touch him, Lin Xian immediately stopped her, "Don't, Wei, I'll be done in less than 10 seconds!" Lin Xian shouted.
Wei Lan's hand stopped and made a dark face. "Ten seconds? They're coming!"
Zhep! Zhep! Zhep!
A few seconds later, Shin Tang and the Patriarchs arrived near the Wuxi Flower.
Everyone stared with disbelieving eyes; who was trying to take the Wuxi Flower?
"You!" Tan Shang was furious when he saw Wei Lan. It was the same for the other two Patriarchs.
"What are you guys doing? Do you want to take the treasures of all the cultivators in this world?" Shin Tang asked angrily. His aura was leaking because he certainly couldn't accept that the Wuxi Flower, the symbol of the world's cultivators, was taken by someone for personal use.
