Consuming the Seven-Colored Life Flower, Strength Breaks Through

With a beautiful vision of the future in mind, Velin lay on his bed and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Velin summoned his men, preparing to infiltrate the bottom of the Lake of Praying Stars to find a cave and harvest the Life Flower.

"Master, perhaps you should let your subordinate scout ahead first," Belder hesitated before advising.

"No need, I have my own plans."

As soon as he finished speaking, Velin took off his clothes, bit down on his Short Sword, and leaped into the lake.

Orlando and Hebrew followed closely, jumping into the lake and diving to the bottom with their master.

Sunlight pierced through the lake's surface, casting specks of light on the lakebed, allowing the three to barely see their surroundings.

After some searching, Velin discovered a hidden cave, its entrance blocked by a giant stone.

Seeing Velin's gesture, Orlando swam to the giant stone and, with all his might, pushed it aside.

With the obstruction gone, the three didn't hesitate and swam inside.

After traveling over a hundred meters, Velin surfaced inside the cave and looked around in shock.

Hundreds, even thousands, of Seven-Colored Life Flowers bloomed in competition, filling a cave spanning over a hundred square meters. A faint purple light permeated the entire space, lending an air of mystery to everything.

"We're rich."

Velin climbed ashore from the water, feeling a slight chill, his eyes filled with the Seven-Colored Life Flowers.

Orlando and Hebrew stood behind Velin in unspoken understanding, curiously observing the flowers radiating colorful light, unaware of their peculiar effects.

Then, Velin walked over to a Seven-Colored Life Flower with seven petals and carefully dug into the soil. Following the harvesting method described in the book, he carefully plucked the entire Seven-Colored Life Flower.

"Bring the box over."

Orlando heard him, took the box from his waist, and opened it before Velin.

Velin moved with great lightness, placing the intact Seven-Colored Life Flower into the box.

According to the records in the book, a flower with seven petals emitting a faint colorful light was a sign of the Seven-Colored Life Flower's maturity.

For the next period, Velin led the two, harvesting mature Seven-Colored Life Flowers in the cave.

Throughout the entire process, they were exceedingly careful.

Immature Seven-Colored Life Flowers needed to be protected, and they had to avoid being clumsy to prevent damaging these precious magical plants.

Four hours later, all the mature Seven-Colored Life Flowers in the cave had been collected – a total of twenty-three, carefully stored in exquisite waterproof boxes.

During this time, Velin also conducted an inventory, recording the number of Seven-Colored Life Flowers in the cave.

There were thirty-one flowers with seven petals but no colorful light, fifty-seven with six petals, one hundred seventy-six with five petals, and four hundred twenty-five with four petals or fewer.

"We can come back to harvest again in two years."

Velin silently noted the time and led Orlando and Hebrew back the way they came.

Lacking the knowledge to cultivate them, Velin could only let the Seven-Colored Life Flowers continue to grow there, refraining from disturbing the environment to avoid affecting their growth.

Belder, who had been waiting by the shore, paced anxiously, glancing at the calm lake surface from time to time.

The next moment, seeing his master safely emerge, he let out a sigh of relief and stepped forward, offering the towel in his hand to Velin: "Master, please dry yourself."

"Belder," Velin replied with a smile as he wiped himself with the towel, "Tomorrow morning, I will convene a meeting. Notify all Knights to be present."

"Yes, Master."

Afterward, Velin put on his clothes, took the box from Orlando, and returned to his room.

Closing the door, Velin took out a Seven-Colored Life Flower from the box, gently cleaned its roots to remove the soil, and swallowed it directly.

A moment later, a strange energy erupted from his stomach, spreading throughout his body.

In an instant, Velin felt as if he had returned to his mother's embrace, everything warm and comfortable.

After an unknown period, when he opened his eyes again, he was astonished to find that he had effortlessly broken through the barrier from Bronze to Silver, becoming a Silver Low-Tier Knight.

"Incredible. This thing truly lives up to its reputation, with the Life Temple itself deigning to 'advertise' the Seven-Colored Life Flower."

At this moment, Velin felt better than ever; the struggle he used to feel during cultivation was gone.

Previously, with his talent, even with his utmost effort, his limit would only be around Gold Low-Tier.

Now, he felt his future was wide open, with no barriers below Legendary.

As for becoming a Legendary, Velin still lacked confidence. Even with the Guidance of Fate, it couldn't guarantee he would become a Legendary expert 100%.

The reason was that advancing from Soul Intent to Legendary required something called the world's favor – in other words, contributing to the world would open the path for advancement; otherwise, one could only stop there.

As for how to gain the world's favor, there were many ways: resisting demon invasions, killing invaders from other worlds, purifying heinous necromancers, and so on.

Then, by composition, he was an invader from another world. Did he have to kill himself?

"No matter. I'll focus on cultivating diligently and becoming a Soul Intent level expert before considering other matters."

Subsequently, Velin got up from the ground, checked the time, and stared at the hourglass on his desk, finding it hard to believe.

"Twelve hours. At least twelve hours have passed."

The next moment, he looked out the window. The sky was misty, clearly indicating it was just dawn.

"In other words, it took me twenty hours to consume the Seven-Colored Life Flower."

"Knock, knock, knock."

The door was knocked upon. Velin, facing the entrance, said calmly, "Come in."

Belder, standing outside the door, pushed it open and entered. He pounded his chest in salute and said respectfully, "My Lord, everyone has assembled and awaits your presiding over the meeting."

"En."

Velin picked up the box and led Belder to the conference room.

As soon as they entered the conference room, everyone stood up and saluted.

Looking at Orlando and Hebrew, who were seated in the second and sixth positions respectively, Velin nodded with satisfaction.

The seating order within the conference room was entirely decided by them internally; he never interfered forcefully.

They adhered to the principle of promoting the capable and demoting the incompetent.

The fact that the two of them could sit here proved they had received the unanimous approval of everyone else.

"All fourteen of you are people I trust, Guardian Knights who have sworn allegiance to me under the witness of the Goddess of Life. Our fates are intertwined; we share in glory and suffer together in ruin. For the past six months, your actions have proven your loyalty to me."

Upon hearing this, the fourteen men puffed out their chests, calmly accepting their Lord's praise.

"Therefore, I will not be stingy in cultivating you."

As soon as Velin finished speaking, he opened the wooden box, revealing twenty-two Seven-Colored Life Flowers within, each one radiating a seven-colored glow.
