When the Legendary Flower Appears
“She is indeed Xue Er.” Bai San nodded and turned to look at Bai Xue, signaling her to remove her veil.
Bai Xue didn’t think much of it, for the man before her seemed to be well acquainted with her family.
Had he not trusted them, Elder Bai Ling would not have sent her and her brother here.
And when Bai Xue removed her veil, the beautiful, innocent face of a young girl was revealed to Meng Lan.
But this…
no matter how you look at her, isn’t she just a child?
“How is this possible?
She is just a child.”
“Xue Er was bitten by a Winter Serpent at the age of ten.
Although our grandfather managed to extract the poison in time, the cold poison had frozen her.
Grandfather had to feed her medicinal herbs daily to expel the cold poison for ten years.
Finally, Xue Er recovered.
She has only awakened for a month; hence, her body is like this,” Bai San explained straightforwardly.
“So, it is like this!” Meng Lan had also heard that those affected by the Winter Serpent would be frozen and tormented by the poison until death.
It was rare for someone to survive because most were unable to remove the poison in time.
Moreover, expelling the cold from the body was extremely difficult, and caring for someone affected by the cold was even harder.
It required daily consumption of medicinal herbs for an unknown duration, costing both time and money.
Those who were poor, of lower status, or even powerful families, were reluctant to spend the resources on such cases.
If the poisoned person was not important, they would rather let them die than treat them, which showed how important Bai Xue was to the Bai family, hence the excellent care she received.
“It’s good that you survived, Xue Er!
And about that matter…”
“That, you will have to ask my grandfather,” Bai San interrupted before Meng Lan could continue, as he preferred not to discuss the past.
“Good, then I will visit your home today!” Meng Lan declared determinedly, thinking how pleased his grandparents would be to know he had found a member of the Bai family they had been searching for so long!
“Wait, let me ask my grandfather first,” Bai San shook his head and declined.
“Fine, fine, but don’t you disappear on me again.” Meng Lan nodded in agreement, warning Bai San.
“It’s up to my grandfather now.”
“You!”
“If my grandfather allows bringing the black jade here, it means he intends to communicate with you directly. Right now, he might not be thinking of fleeing, but rather ready to tell you the whole story,” Bai Xue, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke.

If Bai Xue was not mistaken, Bai Ling had taken her and Bai San to hide in the Misty Village for twenty years.
Those who had hidden themselves and their descendants for twenty years, despite being well-acquainted with influential figures, must be involved in something extraordinary with the Bai family.
However, something had changed, something that made Elder Bai decide to contact the Meng family like this.
And the risk Bai Ling was willing to take must be of great significance, giving Bai Xue a bad premonition.
Hearing what Bai Xue said, Bai San and Meng Lan fell silent before nodding in agreement.
“The matter of my grandfather should be asked directly to him, but now it seems appropriate for us to discuss the important business at hand,” Bai Xue suggested with a neutral expression.
Her demeanor at this moment seemed more formidable than ever, despite her youthful appearance.
“Yes, we are here today because we have something to auction.”
Bai San changed his tone to a serious one and brought out a jade box for storing herbs from an old, inexpensive cotton bag.
If anyone knew that the legendary Returning Moon Flowers were stuffed in such an inexpensive old cloth bag, they would surely be shocked to death.
“What is it?” Meng Lan asked with interest because Bai San brought out a jade herb box.
As a result, he knew that the contents of the jade herb box must be high-level herbs…
but which type, he was not sure.
Meng Lan thought it must be a high-level herb, given the faint scent emanating from the jade herb box, even though it had not been opened yet.
Whoosh!
With a swift move, Bai San lifted the lid of the jade herb box, and in just a few breaths, a pure fragrance spread throughout the room, instantly relieving Meng Lan’s fatigue!
“What is this…herb?!” Meng Lan asked excitedly, being a rune user who did not study herbs extensively, mostly knowing only their names and properties.
Bai Xue was not surprised, for the Returning Moon Flower had not appeared for hundreds of years, being called a legendary flower.
It’s no wonder that the younger generation, especially a rune user like Meng Lan, had never seen the Returning Moon Flower before.
“The Returning Moon Flower,” she replied succinctly.
Startled.
Because at this moment, the legendary flowers stand right before him, three in all, and he does not believe this to be a deception!
“Yes.”
“It is said that the Returning Moon Flower has a shimmering silver hue and sparkles brilliantly under the moonlight.
It can eliminate all types of poison, even the deadly poison of spirit beasts like the venom of the dark serpent!”
“But if not poisoned…
consuming the Returning Moon Flower also enables one’s body to resist poison,” Bai Xue elaborated further, stunning Meng Lan even more.
Such a treasure…
surely, the sacred lands will be shaken!
“The Returning Moon Flower cannot be auctioned today. I will spread the news first, and the auction will be held in half a month.”
Meng Lan said after calming down and quickly calculating, as this matter could mobilize the major powers.
Considering it, a few days would not be sufficient to prepare for this event.
Weha City itself would be in great turmoil.
“Why so long?” Bai Xue inquired.
“This is a significant matter. The powers will surely mobilize. Weha City needs to prepare more thoroughly, and the auction house must ensure that no mistakes occur,” Meng Lan explained.
“Understood, I have no further questions,” Bai Xue said after hearing the explanation.
She accepted Meng Lan’s decision.
A few days later, the Black Tiger Auction House spread the news about the Returning Moon Flower, planning to hold the auction in the next half month.
This caused the chaos Meng Lan had anticipated, but there was one thing he hadn’t expected: not only Weha City was in turmoil, but every city in the sacred lands was as well!
Powers and sects began to gather as much gold and precious stones as possible.
The desire to possess the Returning Moon Flower turned into a competition to outdo other powers.
The auction was becoming a battlefield, and in half a month, it would be seen who would be the wealthiest power to own the legendary flower.
This was crucial!
They must win and be the first at all costs!
