Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang successfully obtained the Tricolored Flower after waiting in the Land of Eternal Night. Yun Wanshang then escorted Lu Changsheng towards Qingyun City, where he learned his descendants had reached ten thousand, granting him an Advanced Lottery opportunity. Upon arriving at Qingyun City, Yun Wanshang arranged for Lu Changsheng to rest and prepare to refine the Tricolored Flower.

The Three-Colored Flower was held in such high regard by Yun Wanshang for a very good reason; it possessed exceptionally potent medicinal properties.

The instant a petal graced his mouth, a fierce inferno seemed to ignite within him.

As he meticulously chewed and swallowed, an intense celestial radiance erupted, akin to the dawn of a searing sun, fiercely coursing through his internal organs.

However, due to Lu Changsheng's possession of the Chaos Body, a Fourth Rank Physique, and the Kidney Divine Depository, his physical form was as unyielding as an impregnable Immortal City, remaining utterly unfazed by the relentless assault of the medicinal power.

Perceiving that the revitalization of his mana necessitated the vigorous stimulation of his physical body and Qi Ocean Core, aiming to reawaken dormant qi-blood, mana, and divine sense through the potent essence of the Three-Colored Flower, Lu Changsheng unhesitatingly consumed the remaining petals, and indeed, the entire Three-Colored Flower, in one go.

"Lu Changsheng!?"

Yun Wanshang's complexion paled drastically upon witnessing this, a desperate urge to intervene seizing her.

She had previously cautioned Lu Changsheng that a spiritual artifact as potent as the Three-Colored Flower was notoriously overbearing, and the celestial light it contained posed a significant risk of damaging the body's meridians if not consumed with extreme caution and slowness.

"I'm perfectly fine."

Lu Changsheng offered a broad grin, showcasing a set of brilliantly white, immaculate teeth.

Despite the agonizing pain, he could bear it.

"Buzz Buzz Buzz!!!"

Under the potent stimulation of the Three-Colored Flower's celestial light, Lu Changsheng's long-dormant qi-blood and mana began to stir, showing clear signs of reawakening.

As precious moments ticked by, his body started to emit a faint luminescence.

Approximately fifteen minutes later, the medicinal power of the Three-Colored Flower reached its zenith within him, unleashing a thunderous surge that violently coursed through, purifying his Qi Ocean Core, internal organs, and every single bone and limb.

Yet, to his utter astonishment, he could only perceive faint ripples of disturbance within his Qi Ocean Core.

Was that all there was to it?

The Three-Colored Flower, merely this?

Lu Changsheng was taken aback, his mind consumed by bewilderment.

He was well aware that the Three-Colored Flower was intended to facilitate the awakening of merely a fraction of his dormant qi-blood and mana.

However, he had never anticipated that the awakened qi-blood and mana would represent less than one percent of his total!

If this were the case, would he not require hundreds of Three-Colored Flowers to fully reawaken his latent power?

"Lu Changsheng, how are you feeling?"

Yun Wanshang's exquisite eyes were clouded with profound concern as she observed Lu Changsheng's re-emergence.

The audacity of him consuming the entire Three-Colored Flower had genuinely terrified her.

"Could his body refinement have ascended to Quasi-Fourth Rank?"

Witnessing Lu Changsheng's complete lack of injury, Yun Wanshang marveled, engaging in private speculation.

Earlier, observing his formidable strength, she had surmised his body refinement had reached the Third Rank Peak.

Now, seeing him withstand the consumption of an entire Three-Colored Flower without ill effect, she dared to speculate that his body refinement might possibly have achieved Quasi-Fourth Rank!

As for Fourth Rank Body Refinement itself, she hesitated to even contemplate such a possibility.

After all, it defied all imagination.

"I’m fine, it’s just that the mana the Three-Colored Flower managed to awaken feels like less than one percent."

Gazing at the breathtaking beauty of the Caiyun True Immortal before him, Lu Changsheng felt a pang of puzzlement, seeking to ascertain whether the deficiency lay with himself or if the Three-Colored Flower's efficacy was indeed so limited.

"Less than one percent?"

Yun Wanshang's elegant eyebrows furrowed slightly, sensing that such an outcome was improbable.

After a brief period of contemplation, she delved deeper into Lu Changsheng's recent experience, ultimately arriving at a plausible explanation.

Lu Changsheng's physique, mana, and soul were simply too vast, resulting in insufficient stimulation from the comparatively modest Three-Colored Flower.

"This..."

Upon reaching this astonishing conclusion, Yun Wanshang stood dumbfounded.

She recalled consuming a Three-Colored Flower in her own youth, and its effects had been vastly superior to Lu Changsheng's current experience.

Yet, they were both cultivators at the Peak of Core Formation; how could such an immense disparity exist?

Furthermore, she had engaged in dual cultivation with Lu Changsheng during her formative years, harnessing Yin Yang Energies to nourish her spirit-nurturing energy, elevating her Golden Core to the esteemed Immortal Golden Core level.

Could it be that Lu Changsheng's mana potentially surpassed even the Immortal Golden Core realm?

Yun Wanshang scrutinized Lu Changsheng with an expression of profound awe, regarding him as if he were some sort of extraordinary celestial being.

"Could this be related to the foundation..."

Lu Changsheng pondered thoughtfully upon hearing her words.

Under the stimulation provided by the Three-Colored Flower, he had not only felt changes in his Qi Ocean Core but also detected the stirring of dormant qi-blood power.

Could this particular aspect be the reason for the limited effectiveness of consuming the Three-Colored Flower?

"It might be attributed to your magical dual cultivation..."

Yun Wanshang ventured her hypothesis.

This was the sole logical explanation she could conceive.

After all, aside from Lu Changsheng's clearly superior body refinement, in what other aspect could she possibly be deficient?

"Truly, Immortal Being, if that's the case, how long would it possibly take to discover hundreds of spiritual artifacts akin to the Three-Colored Flower?"

Lu Changsheng couldn't refrain from posing the question.

"Spiritual artifacts like the Three-Colored Flower, outside of rare celestial phenomena like heavenly light descending and earth light surging, are practically impossible to procure, save for sheer luck."

Yun Wanshang articulated calmly, grasping the essence of Lu Changsheng's concerns. She understood that although she had cultivated for over a century, having a family with wives and children, being confined in this place for years would undoubtedly present a grave challenge.

"Impossible except by luck..."

Lu Changsheng clenched his fists, the stark realization dawning that departing the Land of Eternal Night within a brief timeframe was a near-impossible feat.

"Lu Changsheng, your strength is remarkable, and you wield a Fourth Rank Puppet. We could perhaps venture into some of the forbidden zones later. With some fortune, we might gather more spiritual artifacts."

Yun Wanshang offered gentle solace, her voice, clear and sweet as pearls cascading onto jade, seemed capable of dispelling any lingering despair.

Though the two had shared intimacy previously.

From that very first encounter years ago, Lu Changsheng was merely a Junior Cultivator in the Qi Refining stage. His subsequent affection for her disciple, Xiao Xiyue, inevitably led her to perceive Lu Changsheng with a touch of familial affection, as if he were part of a younger generation.

"Thank you, True Immortal."

Lu Changsheng drew in a deep breath, then slowly let it out.

Were it not for the pressing desire to return to his home, he would not have minded spending more time with this Caiyun True Immortal in this world, nurturing their connection. After all, men often harbor unique sentiments towards certain women.
