Lin Wu and Lord Geng Zi went towards the source of the chill and soon came across arge nt.


    "What in the…" Lord Geng Zi was stunned upon seeing it as well as the visible energy that was exuding from the nt.


    In front of them was arge nt that was nearly twenty meters in size. And on top of this nt grew a flower that was half of its size. The nt''s stem was a mix of brown and green simr to any normal nt, but the flower on top of it was different.


    The ten meter wide flower was a mixture of ck and dark blue color. It had several petals, each being nearly a foot wide and dark blue in color. Its central part had a spout like appearance and was the part from where the chilly energy was emanating.


    There were ck veins that went all around its base and joined up in a circr form at the peduncle.


    Lin Wu found the flower to be a bit familiar to one of the flowers of his past life.


    ''A Rafflesia flower?'' Lin Wu could see several features that matched the appearance of an actual Rafflesia from his past life.


    But he was sure that this was nothing like it. Not only was the color and appearance different, the sheer amount of energy emitting from it was also huge. It wasn''t just the Dark frost energy either that Lin Wu found surprising, but the Dao Traces that were mixed within them.


    These Dao Traces were what Lin Wu had seen as the ''colorless'' parts with his Radiation Perception.


    "What is this system?" Lin Wu wondered.

    SCANNER ACTIVATED: Target Selected


    SCAN COMPLETED: Target Identified


    TARGET: Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia


    INFO: The Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia is a long lived nt that is a unique existence. The stem of the nt is rich in vitality but when it flowers, the flower is chilly and emits Dark Frost Energy from it.


    The Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia''s flowers can grow to ten meters in size and when they reach maturity they would start to emit Ice Dao Traces as well. This is one of the few nts that is sought after by cultivators of the Ice Dao and they meditate near it to gainpression.


    ——


    ''Hohoho… Looks like I''ll be having more gains than I thought.'' Lin Wu was already desiring to consume the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia.


    But before he did, he noted the words of the system.


    "The cultivators mediate near it but not consume… is there a specific reason why, system?" Lin Wu questioned knowing that there must be something more to it.


    ~DING~<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ——


    ANSWER: the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia flower is extremely toxic to cultivators and will kill them due to the dense Dark frost energy within it as well as the Ice Dao Traces that are emitted from it. This is also the reason why it''s called ''Lifeless''.


    NOTE: The host can safely consume the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia flower as the same conditions do not apply to the host, due to having a different physique.


    ——


    "I see… that''s perfect then." Lin Wu was happy with this.


    He read through more details that the system had analyzed by now and learned that as long as the stem of the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia was left intact, the flower could actually regrow after years.


    And once the flower was removed, the emission of the Dark Frost energy should also fall, allowing for the concentration of it in the area to reduce and the condition of the Steel Frost Ind to improve.


    "This is what''s behind your troubles Lord Geng Zi." Lin Wu said before telling him what the flower was.


    Though Lin Wu kept a few parts of the information hidden such as the fact that it could be used to deepen one''sprehension of the Ice Dao. He simply presented the flower as a deadly nt to the man.


    "How do we solve this King Lin Wu? And if we remove this, will the Ice Light Lichen be gone too?" Lord Geng Zi inquired.


    "The temperature here will be maintained due to the Dark Frost Energy that has already permeated the ice above so the Ice Light Lichen will keep on growing for a long time. And I''ll simply get rid of the flower head, while keeping the nt intact.


    That way, it''ll grow over the years and replenish the Dark Frost Energy concentration here. I''ll also add some arrays that''ll maintain the bnce between the two, while also improving safety for your people." Lin Wu presented the solution.


    Hearing all this, Lord Geng Zi''s eyes lit up, and he nodded his head in approval.


    "Please do as you''ve said, King Lin Wu. I can''t wait for my people to have a respite from this Chill." He said with emotion in his voice.


    "Of course." Lin Wu replied before approaching the flower.


    The concentration of the Dark Frost Energy was quite high here, and even Dao Treading realm cultivators might have been frozen form it by now. Lin Wu and Lord Geng Zi were coated in a denseyer of radiation which was preventing the Dark Frost Energy from invading them.


    But even then, the radiation was being eroded over time and Lin Wu had to keep on replenishing it. While he wouldn''t run out of it anytime soon, it was still interesting to see something like this that could actually challenge it.


    ''At least I was the one who found and will take advantage of it rather than others.'' Lin Wu thought to himself as he changed the shape of his Tail.


    It took on the shape of a long sharp scalpel that shone with a sapphire colored light.


    Lin Wu didn''t add any other elemental Qi to it as he didn''t want that to affect the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia. Sapphire Qi was rtively neutral so wouldn''t cause any interaction while also allowing him to cut with ease.
