Chapter 259: Still Alone
The jade slip was a compendium of nightmares—a catalog of flora deemed too dangerous, chaotic, or evil for any sane cultivator to nurture.
It was divided into three sections:
Compendium of Forbidden Plants
Forbidden Arts & Secret Techniques
Miscellaneous Records of Strange Tales
Jiang Chen read the first entry aloud, his voice barely a whisper in the silent archive.
[Fate-Reversing Blood Lotus] Habitat: The Yin-Yang inversion point where a volcanic crater meets a glacial pool. Effect: Upon blooming, it reverses the flow of Spirit Qi within a ten-mile radius. Cultivators caught in the field will experience a violent retrograde of their own spiritual power, often leading to meridian rupture or death.
“Meridian reversal just by being near it?” Jiang Chen sucked in a cold breath. “And that’s just the first one.”
He scrolled to the second entry.
