Chapter 622 The Flower of Thought
"It's all thanks to the Classics of the Sages that Lin Bansheng had me annotate. Without the training from the Classics of the Sages, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to make my mind so powerful."
Ye Ru smiled. His current thinking was no less than that of a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), and in fact, after a few more months of annotation, his thoughts would directly reach the Hanlin Academy.
Moreover, both his ability to utilize his talent and the storage of talent within his study are far greater than when he first became a Juren (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations).
"I have sensed your thoughts and found that you have reached the Jinshi level. Now I am giving you a task: go to the Sacred Lake with the other two. There are three Flower of Thought left behind by the fallen Half-Saints. If you can obtain them, perhaps I can help you reach the Hanlin level within the next month."
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Ru spoke to Ye Ru.
"Is it?"
These words delighted Ye Ru. If that were the case, then he would be one step closer to the Supreme Saint Plan.
"There's not enough time now, so we can only temporarily use external things to enhance your thinking. Of course, these external things won't do you any harm; on the contrary, they will benefit you even more."
Lin Ru nodded and said.
"When should we go?"
Ye Rudao.
"Let's meet tomorrow. I'll let you meet the other people first, so you can all get to know each other."
Lin Ru answered, and the former agreed, then said goodbye to Lin Ru and left.
The next morning, Lin Ru and the others were at the entrance of the annotation room. Behind him were these two young men. When Ye Ru saw one of them, he was also stunned for a moment.
Because this person is Chen Buxiu, who had spoken with Ye Ru before.
"Brother Ye, how are you? I've missed you so much these past few days."
Chen Buxiu was also stunned when he saw Ye Ru. Clearly, he didn't know that the person he had contacted back then was also part of the Supreme Saint Project.
"Brother Chen."
Ye Ru nodded.
"Do you know each other?"
Lin Ru looked at the two of them in surprise and said.
"We had a chance encounter."
Ye Ru and Chen Buxiu both smiled.
"Since you know each other, I won't say much more. This person is Fang Xuan, from the Wei Kingdom. Today, the three of you will go to the Sacred Lake, obtain the three Flowers of Thought, and then bring them back to me. I will help you refine them into Qi of Thought, which will help you elevate your thoughts to the Hanlin Academy."
Lin Ru patted Ye Ru on the shoulder, then continued to instruct him:
"By the way, this sacred lake is also somewhat dangerous. There is a companion beast in it that can control the power of water. You should be careful on your way there. If you are outmatched, then retreat."
Consider this a learning experience for you.
"Yes, got it."
Ye Ru and the other two nodded solemnly. They all knew that the companion beasts of the Holy Mountain were more than one level stronger than the companion beasts of some places in the Ten Kingdoms.
Therefore, they have no choice but to be careful.
"I will give you the map, and you may set off immediately."
Lin Rudao.
Ye Ru and the others took the map, exchanged glances, and then set off towards the sacred lake.
Upon arriving at the sacred lake, the surface was calm and clear, like a mirror. A gentle breeze blew, creating ripples on the water.
"Is this the sacred lake? It doesn't look dangerous at all."
Fang Xuan looked around and spoke slowly.
"No, it's eerily quiet here. Everyone be careful."
"What do you think that is?"
At that moment, a piece of land slowly rose from the lake. On the land, three white flowers swayed in the wind, looking exceptionally enchanting.
"This must be the flower of thought, right?"
Seeing the white flowers, Ye Ru murmured to himself, then looked around, afraid that a companion beast might appear in the shadows.
"Let's take this thing quickly before anyone gets here."
Chen Buxiu looked around and was about to make a move when, before he could get close to the Flower of Thought, the lake in the distance seemed to boil as if the water had been heated.
This scene caused Chen Buxiu to stop in his tracks, and his face grew increasingly solemn.
The water boiled more and more violently, and a huge shadow shot directly upwards from the seabed, heading straight for Ye Ru and his companions.
"careful!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Ru's wings suddenly flapped, and he took off into the air. Chen Buxiu, after a brief moment of stunned silence, also used his own method. He stomped his feet, channeling his inner energy into his legs, and floated directly into the air as if taking flight.
Fang Xuan frowned slightly, waved his hand, and a stream of water appeared beneath his feet as if it were alive, eventually making him float into the air as well.
The enormous shadow grew larger and larger until it suddenly burst out of the water.
As the shadow appeared, Ye Ru saw the true form of the companion beast and couldn't help but gasp, a look of shock appearing on his face.
This is a dragon, but unlike ordinary dragons, it has a black horn on its head and silver scales all over its body, making it look quite ferocious.
Its body could reach ten zhang in length, and it carried a fierce aura all over its body.
"Who are you, and what brings you to the sacred lake?"
What surprised Ye Ru and the others even more was that the other party could actually speak human language.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru bowed respectfully to the other party and said:
"We have come here to obtain the Flower of Thought. Humanity is currently suffering a great calamity, and we need the Flower of Thought to elevate our thinking. We would be grateful if you could lend it to us temporarily."
Ye Ru knew that his words might not have much effect on the other side, but if he could avoid a battle, that would be acceptable.
"Heh, I've guarded this flower of thought since I was a child, how could you possibly borrow it as you please?"
"Besides, what does it have to do with me that humanity has suffered such a terrible calamity?"
The dragon's eyes held a hint of coldness as it spoke.
"The demon god and the demon god will soon be resurrected. Your Excellency and the Holy Mountain are closely related. If they are gone, you will be in danger. Do you think you can escape this calamity? At that time, you may become the demon god's meal. Please think carefully."
Ye Ru took a deep breath, and his inner energy began to surge forth, ready to fight at any moment.
"If you want the flower of thought to bloom, then you need to show me your strength. These flowery words won't fool me."
The dragon sneered and swung its massive tail directly at the ground, creating a splash.
"In that case..."
Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Ye Ru felt somewhat helpless, but he had to get his hands on the Flower of Thought. Taking a deep breath, Ye Ru's talent burst forth instantly, and finally said to Fang Xuan and Chen Buxiu:
"Then let's get started!"
