As soon as Dong Yun came back, he saw Nan Li hiding in the corner.

"What are you doing?" Dong Yun walked over, squatted down, and touched Nan Li's head.

Nan Li had a blank expression on his face. "Sunbathing."

Nan Li might be able to get some sun from where she was sitting, but it was already dark, and she was just emptying her mind.

Dong Yun could empathize with the feeling of powerlessness of not being able to protect his people. "Dan Hong's soul is still there. If she is taken back to Tianchi to recuperate for a period of time, her memory will be restored. She and Qingya...will have a way."

Nan Li nodded, she reached out and hugged Dong Yun, not wanting to say a word.

Dong Yun stayed with her silently for a long time. She thought Nan Li had fallen asleep. When she was about to get up, Nan Li held her tightly.

Nan Li grabbed Dong Yun domineeringly and said confidently: "I want to bask in the sun."

Dong Yun coaxed her to get up and not sit on the ground, "Where is the sun?"

Nan Li: "Yang Yang."

Dongyun is the sun.

Dong Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was also sad. "I'm not leaving. You get up first."

In the corner, the Tunyun Fire Hound quietly raised its head. It heard Nan Li's weak voice: "Sister, I'm so tired."

For some reason, Hongyun felt his nose suddenly sore.

***

A few days later, Sun Island.

Nanli walked along the Chiyang River towards the Coral Sea. In the distance, she could see a long shark gauze skirt swaying in the evening breeze.

Nan Li handed over the coral scepter and explained to her why her mother couldn't come.

Lan Xi had expected this, so she didn't ask any questions and spoke directly: "I observed the stars at night, and Dan Hong's catastrophe has passed. Everything will be safe and smooth in the future."

"Is there nothing she and Qingya can do?"

Qingya has already transformed, even if he can cultivate to the peak level of human soul master, his life span is only a thousand years. And if Dan Hong wants to cultivate to the level of 100,000 years again, it will take at least ten thousand years.

"What happened when you left Sun Island three years ago? I mean Dan Hong." Lan Xi did not answer but asked, "Something changed her fate. If you think about it carefully, it might be just a small thing."

It was such a small thing that Nan Li couldn’t remember it for a while.

But when she was sorting out Dan Hong's soul guide for storing medicinal herbs, she saw the flower growing in the rock, and Nan Li suddenly realized.

Dragon bone torch.

The reason why she met the Swallowing Cloud Fire Hound was because of this Dragon Bone Torch Plant.

Dan Hong once said that the rocks associated with the Dragon Bone Torch Epiphyllum can speed up the cultivation of fire-attributed soul masters, and its Epiphyllum is a legendary fairy product that can help soul beasts transform.

Madam Lan Xi asked her to think about what happened in the past, which seemed to be the elixir made by Dragon Bone Torch Tan. Dan Hong's unusually lively state after the sacrifice might be related to it.

"Buddha's bones and spiritual roots, records of the holy land..." Nan Li put down the things in his hand, got up and went to find Dong Yun.

"Do you have the book on the Holy Land's inheritance?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Which part are you looking for?" Dong Yun asked clearly what he was looking for, and then pulled Nan Li to Tianshan together.

Sunny day mountain, Tianchi holy land.

The patriarchs of the two tribes were on the Fusang tree. Nan Xi, the patriarch of the Flame Feather Tribe, looked at the Flame Feather Bird jumping around beside him with a look of love and regret.

Dong Yun did not look for records in the holy land, but directly pulled Nan Li to ask the patriarchs of the two tribes.

"Buddha bone spiritual root? What is that?" Dong Yang asked without understanding. The huge Sumeru Raven looked a little stunned.

Nan Xi glanced at it and said to Nan Li: "The records of the Holy Land say that the Buddha bone spiritual root is an immortal product that can help fire-attributed soul beasts transform. The Buddha bone refers to Futu Fojin, and the spiritual root refers to the spiritual root of heaven and earth."

"We have the spiritual root." The spiritual root of heaven and earth is the dragon bone torch tree that relies on rocks to grow. Nanli placed the huge rock with flowers and trees growing on it next to the hibiscus tree.

Nan Xi looked at it for a while, nodded, and then shook her head, "It is a spiritual root, but it has not yet bloomed."

"It is said that the Buddha Bone Spiritual Root can help fire attribute soul beasts transform, and there is a chance that they can transcend the larval stage in one fell swoop. But the greater the power, the more stringent the conditions will be."

Nan Xi explained: "The Dragon Bone Torch Flower blooms once every sixty years, and only blooms for a quarter of an hour each time, and withers immediately after a quarter of an hour. But this is not the most difficult thing to deal with. The most difficult thing to find is the Futu Fojin, which is the hibiscus flower."

"Hibiscus?" Nanli pointed at the sacred Fusang tree, meaning: Isn't this tree right in front of us?

"A-Li, don't worry." Nan Xi waved her wings. "You practiced for nearly a million years before your transformation, so you are actually 200,000 years old. Have you ever seen a hibiscus flower bloom?"

Nan Li's heart suddenly sank.

She had originally only calculated that the Dragon Bone Torch Tree had last bloomed about five years ago. If she could find Futu Fojin, perhaps she would only have to wait for fifty years or more for Dan Hong to transform again. However, the sacred Fusang tree had never bloomed!

Yes, she had lived for 200,000 years and had never seen the hibiscus tree bloom, let alone the appearance of Buddha bones and spiritual roots at the same time.

How could such a heaven-defying existence easily appear in the world?

The hope is as great as the disappointment.

Nanli wilted visibly.

"Chief Nan Xi, do you know what the requirements are for the hibiscus tree to bloom?" Dong Yun asked for a solution to the problem while stroking Nan Li's hair.

Nan Xi looked at Nan Li deeply, but said: "The Holy Land has not been recorded, so I don't know."

Dong Yun lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally remained silent.

Tianchi Lake was silent for a long time. Apart from the occasional bird calls, the only sound was the hibiscus branches swaying gently.

Nan Xi spoke again: "Ah Li, how about I pass the position of the young patriarch of the Yanyu clan to you?"

"Isn't the young clan leader my mother?" Nan Li raised his head from Dong Yun's arms, "Why did you pass it on to me?"

"Sooner or later, the position of young patriarch will be vacant. Ah Li, since Dong Yun is the young patriarch of the Xumi clan, then wouldn't it be appropriate for us to pass the position of young patriarch to you?"

Nan Xi's eyes contained encouragement, but Nan Li did not respond.

"I'm not suitable to be the young clan leader." Nan Li blurted out these words without thinking.

Nan Xi wanted to say why it was inappropriate, but thinking about Nan Li's personality, the position of the head of the clan did restrict her. "Then the only one among the younger generation who can take on the important task is Nan Xing."

"Chief, let's talk about the future later. You are still here, so why rush?" Nan Li tried to persuade Nan Xi.

"Okay." Nan Xi didn't continue speaking, just nodded with a loving look.

"Yun girl." This time it was Dong Yang who spoke, "Dong Han left early, and the Xumi Raven Clan will be handed over to you in the future. Since Ali doesn't want to be the young clan leader, I can help you."

Nan Xi flapped her wing and said, "What are you talking about!" How could Nan Li interfere in the affairs of the Xumi clan?

"Hey, don't be so old-fashioned." Dong Yang stamped his feet. "Yun girl works hard every day. Since the two sisters have a good relationship, what's wrong with sharing some of the burden?"

Nan Li didn't mind helping Dong Yun, but Dong Yun's eyes became darker and darker.

Why do the two clan leaders seem to be instructing...
