Author Note: Lian Daiyu above
The harsh winds of the desert blew past the mysterious female figure in the distance. Fresh blood kept pouring out of the person's festering wounds, from the previous battle with many high-ranked martial artists. The mysterious female staggered as her consciousness was fading, coughing out blood from her mouth.
The mysterious figure, Lian Daiyu, was a powerful figure in the cultivating world as she had the ability to cure many diseases that many healers couldn't heal. Her medical abilties were unmatched as well as her martial arts which was very strong but graceful as if her body were like a willow tree when the wind blows on it. Her musical talent is so exceptional as her music could calm godly beasts and attract many animals to her.
With her meridians blocked and her powers sealed. No tools or materials but a single sword in hand. "So, this is how I die huh?" She had no way to heal herself.
Her eyes stared into the starry night sky as tears rolled down her face. This was the end. Her life was at the brim of death until the feeling of nothing began to encapsule her body until it finally fell to the ground. Her body became nourishment for the ground and a plant was left behind, The Red Spider Lily.
No one knows the origin of the plant but legend says that the Spider Lily can only grow by the blood of a strong cultivator of the Lian Clan that has died before their destined time.
The Red Spider Lily held special medical properties, which raise you to multiple ranks and cure any disease. But no medical expert or martial art expert could find a way to harvest it without being poisoned by the Red Spider Lily. The poison is an excruciating pain because it is slow and it feels like needles stabbing into every part of the body. Victims would suffer extreme burning from the inside and extreme frostbite on the outside. The was no known antidote for this deadly poison. Only the Lian Clan's special harvesting skill could harvest the plant.
