Heroic Death System [BL]

Arc 5: Everyone Loves Little Immortal Mushroom (VIII)

【Where did you say the spring was?】 When they arrived at the summit of God Perch Peak, Shang Ke did not see the clear spring Yan Lu spoken of. There were only seven entrance-sized empty holes.

Yan Lu looked up at the starry sky and said, "Right here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a rumbling sound came from below their feet and fog started to drift out of the seven holes. Following that, spring water bubbled out, emitting a silvery-white colored light. From above, they looked like the Ursa Major constellation.

Shang Ke asked in amazement, 【How did you know spring water was going to come out?】

"Intuition." Yan Lu stuck his walking stick into the ground and then took off his worn-out clothes. He selected a random spring and jumped in.

Intuition? Shang Ke had a thought. Yan Lu's cultivation was at Immortalization Stage before he lost his memories. If he cultivated a thousand years ago, then it was very likely he had been to the Origin Realm before. So even if he lost his memories, he may have subconsciously retained some impression of it.

Yan Lu soaked in the spring and spat out a breath of impure qi. Following that, he immediately placed the flower bud that was resting in his palm atop the water.

When the flower bud was placed in the water, it did not sink. Instead, it floated there like a small boat, swaying gently with the ripples.

Yan Lu leaned against the spring and closed his eyes. He extended his limbs and slowly entered a cultivation state. His true essence cycled and the spring water started to move rhythmically. Circle after circle of silver light floated out. After they touched the flower bud, they split and echoed against each other.

Shang Ke could vaguely feel a trace of cool air pouring into his soul, condensing and plentiful. Along with the increase of Yan Lu's cycling, the temperature within his body also began to rise higher and higher like there was a fire within him.

Just when Shang Ke thought that he was going to burn into ashes, the fire burst and turned into countless sparks, sprinkling everywhere.

Yan Lu seems to have felt it and slowly opened his eyes, only to notice that the flower bud on the water surface and already started blooming without his notice. The layers of petals were like a fire in mist, it was devilishly beautiful and moving.

In the center of the flower, a small elegant mushroom with a spotlessly white body that was translucent and bright emitted a glow like moonlight.

Yan Lu couldn't help but reach out to touch it. Just as his hands touched the light outside, the blooming Flaming Red Sky's petals started to open and turn into a dazzling white light that began to flicker.

When the white light dimmed, a familiar figure appeared before Yan Lu's eyes.

Shang Ke had only felt his consciousness become muddled and when he opened his eyes, he had already transformed into a human. He did not expect to be able to transform so quickly. It looks like these springs aren't exactly run-of-the-mill, ordinary pools.

Shang Ke raised his head to look at Yan Lu, his eyes gleaming with emotions. Within the entrance-size springs, two men intimately embraced and could feel each other's temperature.

Yan Lu treated him like a treasure as he gently caressed Shang Ke's cheek. His withered, wrinkled hands a stark contrast against Shang Ke's bright and smooth skin.

Yan Lu's movement suddenly stopped, he was unable to stop staring at his own hand.

Shang Ke held his hand and smiled when he saw that, "Yan Lu, I can transform again."
