What is this thing?
Li Xingkong could clearly sense the extraordinary nature of this flower; the concept of blooming within it was even more profound, making it completely different from the things he had picked up while clearing the battlefield.
It's rather strange that such an item was simply left lying on the battlefield.
"Well... let me think about it."
Liu Shinian had clearly never seen this thing before; given its extraordinary nature, it shouldn't have been left here like this.
The two pondered for a while, realizing they had never seen anything like it before. However, since they were cleaning up the battlefield, they figured they should at least drag it back.
"Should I go take a look?"
Seeing that Liu Shinian had never seen this before, Li Xingkong made a suggestion.
"Wait, let's do some reconnaissance first."
Liu Shinian patted her waist, and a jade compass appeared in her hand.
As the incantation was activated, the compass quickly began to operate, scanning the environment around the flower bud in detail.
Seeing this, Li Xingkong also remembered the system that he had neglected for a long time.
Since this guy came to the Era of Chaos, Li Xingkong hasn't let him show his face much, since there haven't been any scenarios where the system needs to intervene.
At this moment, he also remembered that his thing also had a detection function.
"Frog Fun, you finally remembered me! I was so bored!"
After breaking free from Li Xingkong's grasp, the system flew around erratically for quite a while.
"Don't shout, something's wrong, let's see what's going on."
Li Xingkong pointed ahead, and the system fell silent, looking in that direction.
"Alright, alright, let me take a look at you."
That's what they said, but the system didn't start scanning immediately. Instead, it first went to Liu Shinian's location and took a look around.
"Brother Li, why did you bring this thing along? But your intelligence is certainly remarkable."
Liu Shinian clearly knew about systems, but the system they had was obviously not the same version as Li Xingkong's.
"The system has been with me for a long time; it's a brother I've been through thick and thin with."
Li Xingkong glanced at the system, and the system, understanding his meaning, came up and gave him a high five.
"Okay, just for what you said, I'll show you what I'm capable of today."
Soon, a long string of light screens appeared in front of the system and were projected onto Li Xingkong's face.
Gravity, mass, air structure, laws of motion, conceptual components, speculation...
All sorts of information, big and small, appeared before Li Xingkong, filling his field of vision.
"After the upgrade, you're scanning so fast now?"
Li Xingkong didn't even notice the system's scanning fluctuations; so much information had already been read out, how could he not be curious?
"Hehe, sneaking a peek at that compass."
The system chuckled. With readily available data, who would bother scanning it again? Did they really think it was some kind of mindless magic tool?
"Get lost! If you want to peek, I can't watch. Just do something useful, okay?"
Li Xingkong a little speechless. This system really had to be treated like a human.
"Here we come, here we come. Don't forget, we have a knowledge base to support us."
Compared to Liu Shinian's compass, the system's biggest advantage lies in its massive data support.
Simply put, it can search on Baidu on the spot.
"The detection shows there's nothing particularly special about this place, except that the vitality here is too abundant; it seems to be caused by the concept of that Fairy Qingjue."
"This flower must be related to that fairy. For now, everything seems safe."
Liu Shinian's probe had ended. She organized the information she had obtained and then looked at the system in front of Li Xingkong.
Early education machines were a common item in their era, but the one she had was a stripped-down version. Apart from logging into some large forums, it was no different from a smartphone.
Looking at the thing in front of Li Xingkong, she recognized it at a glance; this was definitely not an ordinary version.
Just a glance at the data stream flashing on that screen contains an amount of information that ordinary people cannot access.
Li Xingkong didn't try to hide it from her; he just wanted to take a look at this high-end item.
"I've found it. Although it's unrelated to this flower, there are similar documents."
The system quickly retrieved several similar papers.
How to Seal the Original Concept -- How to Kill a Dao Immortal
" Dao Immortal Takes Another Step"
Similar concepts have been mentioned in numerous academic papers.
After defeating an immortal, if you want to strip away the concept controlled by the other party, you need to completely envelop it with your own concept, and then slowly refine the will belonging to the other party within it. After the will is refined, you can use a special sealing method to condense this concept into a Concept Bead.
The bead that Li Xingkong obtained from the Immortal Artifact Store was crafted in this way.
Li Xingkong saw the paper, and Liu Shinian naturally saw it too. Although there were too many words and it was all gibberish, she could still understand the conclusion.
"So, within this flower lies the very essence of that swordsman!"
She looked utterly shocked.
"I never knew there was such a process. I've really learned something new today."
"So, what should we do with these flowers?"
Li Xingkong did indeed want the bead inside the flower, but the problem was when he could refine it properly; that was a big question.
"I'm saying, don't either of you have any sense of crisis?"
The system gave each of them a head injury.
"This is a source of power, and the one wielding the sword is an immortal. Does he not have any friends? At this point, shouldn't you be thinking about finishing up and retreating quickly? Are you going to stay here and wait for someone to attack?"
The system's words were a wake-up call.
Yes, this is a fundamental element; others may not use it or even care about it, but wouldn't the one wielding the sword want to take it back?
How could those two little Karami possibly hold out?
Li Xingkong and Liu Shinian exchanged a glance.
"Should we call for reinforcements?"
"I think it's possible..."
As the two were still discussing, they noticed that the concept around the flower bud suddenly intensified, and then a leaf rolled over, pulling them to the front of the flower.
Li Xingkong was about to use his Traversal ability to escape, but although the leaf was powerful, it didn't cause him any harm; it just pulled him over.
"Fellow Daoists, don't panic. You must be here to clean up the battlefield."
A spirited female voice rang out from among the flowers.
"Exactly!"
With a Divine Sense, Liu Shinian summoned the mission token in front of him.
"That's settled then. Refining this source is a bit too mentally taxing, so I'll leave it to you two to handle. The flower barrier will remain open for you; just do your best to refine it."
"As for those reinforcements you're considering, leave them to me."
The female immortal never showed herself, but Li Xingkong and Liu Shinian both knew that she was undoubtedly Fairy Qingjue.
Judging from her expression, taking down one wasn't enough; she wanted to ambush a few more.
