Chapter 1682: Chapter 1674: Jade Flower Martial Soul

Martial Soul!

Xin Lin was startled.

"What kind of expression is that? Back when I was dual cultivating spirit and martial arts, you little ghosts were not even around."

Master Mo grumbled.

Back in the day, the reputation of the Wood Star Spiritual Saint was as majestic as a crane for a time.

She was also the only one among the Five Luminaries Spiritual Saints who practiced both spiritual and martial cultivation, ranking first in overall strength.

If it hadn’t been for being betrayed by a close friend, she wouldn’t have ended up in this state between human and ghost.

Although there was sarcasm in her words, Master Mo did not seem angry with Xin Lin.

In fact, she quite liked Xin Lin.

The little girl was shrewd and mischievous but was fiercely loyal to her family and friends, much like she used to be.

That’s why she had been helping the father-daughter duo all along.

As for those students from the Shaking Light Class, Master Mo just felt that it was more meaningful for those dozen or so young boys and girls to survive than for her, an old bone.

Xin Lin coughed lightly.

Earlier, she was still half-skeptical of Master Mo’s words, as her usual image of being stingy and deceitful was too deeply ingrained in everyone’s minds.

"Master Mo, your condition seems to have worsened. Is it because of those Thousand Cranes Jade Flower petals?"

Xin Lin asked worriedly, looking at Master Mo.

"It’s somewhat related, but it doesn’t make much of a difference. I’ve been using my Martial Soul to suppress the Five Poison Dominating Vein for many years; my body can no longer bear it."

Master Mo shrugged, feigning a casual demeanor.

"Master Mo, can you let me see your Martial Soul?"

Xin Lin hesitated; she wanted to see the current state of Master Mo’s Martial Soul.

Master Mo was about to refuse, but seeing the concerned look from Xin Lin and Chu Beiqing behind her, she couldn’t bring herself to say no.

"Very well. I’ll let you see it."

After speaking, Master Mo sat up with difficulty.

The Taibai Wine had somewhat alleviated the pain in her body.

Slowly, she released her True Qi from within.

A beam of white light burst forth.

Behind Master Mo appeared a mist of light, and from it, a beautiful moon-white flower the size of a bowl.

Atop the flower stood a pure white crane, and below, the Jade Flower slowly blossomed.

Yet the flower of the Jade Flower looked listless, and its petals seemed frail, with its stem and root turning from vibrant green to pitch black.

Upon closer inspection, it was also infested with black poisonous gas resembling the Five Poison Dominating Vein.

Master Mo mentioned that there used to be many sharp thorny spikes on the stem, but now, they had all withered away.

A constant stream of gray-black gas flowed out from inside it.

This must be the death aura that Gui Hu mentioned.

The Martial Soul is an extremely unique existence for a Martial Artist.

Previously, Xin Lin had seen the Martial Souls of the Crown Prince Yuan and Tu Suxuan, both were Spiritual Beasts, but Master Mo’s was a plant.

Although it was just a plant, the Thousand Cranes Jade Flower possessed an indescribable captivating power.

"It’s a pity you can’t see it in its prime; the Thousand Cranes Jade Flower was truly enchanting back then."

Master Mo lamented.

The Thousand Cranes Jade Flower of yesteryear, like her appearance, would capture anyone’s heart and mind at first glance—a beauty beyond words.

But ever since she was poisoned, the Jade Flower was like a fleeting blossom, wilting day by day.

And she was powerless to stop it, only able to watch it wither away, little by little.

"Master Mo, please don’t give up. I believe we’ll find a way to cure your illness."

Xin Lin grasped Master Mo’s hand firmly, speaking with determination.
