Chapter 2: Strange Lotus
"Hmm."
After an unknown amount of time, Bi Fan woke up slowly.
"Ah!" The intense pain hit Bi Fan's nerves and he cried out in pain.
Bi Fan tried to move, but found that his whole body seemed to be falling apart and he couldn't move at all.
The slightest movement would affect the entire body, and the piercing pain would be unbearable.
It was destined that Bi Fan would not die. While he was unconscious, he was thrown into a forked road by the medicine boy.
There are many branches in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, which are all naturally formed. It is very humid inside, which is very suitable for poisonous snakes to survive.
The fork in the road that Bi Fan entered was not very steep and the cave wall was extremely smooth, so he slid down.
Bumps and bruises are inevitable, but at least no one will die immediately.
However, Bi Fan's already thin body had more than ten broken bones. If no miracle happened, he would be dead.
Bi Fan was unable to move, and due to the severe pain, he could not fall asleep. He began to look around with the corner of his eyes.
It was pitch black all around, with only a faint light about ten meters ahead.
Bi Fan gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, moved his body a little, and wanted to change the angle to see the situation in front clearly.
His current situation is desperate, but Bi Fan still doesn't want to give up.
He has a belief that he must become stronger no matter what, so he must survive.
After persisting for more than half an hour, Bi Fan's clothes were all soaked with sweat, and the sweat on his forehead fell like raindrops.
Bi Fan endured it without even a sound.
His persistence finally paid off. The angle was correct and Bi Fan also saw the situation ahead.
A purple stem that stretched straight up into the sky appeared in Bi Fan's field of vision. Looking up, the purple stem was more than 1.5 meters high, and on top of it was a huge flower.
The radius of the flower is about one meter, and it has thirty-six petals, alternating between black and white, with eighteen black petals and eighteen white petals.
The white petals sparkled, illuminating the surroundings and allowing Bi Fan to see this strange flower clearly.
There are several green leaves under the purple stem, which look very similar to lotus leaves, but are slightly larger.
The green leaves are next to a pool of milky white liquid. A bubble emerges from the milky white liquid from time to time. When the bubble bursts, white mist rises, but is absorbed by the white petals.
"Ten Thousand Years Old Earth Vein Spirit Milk!" Bi Fan was extremely shocked. He happened to have heard of Ten Thousand Years Old Earth Vein Spirit Milk before, so he recognized it at once.
The Ten Thousand Years Earth Spirit Milk has a mild medicinal property and is an excellent product for marrow cleansing and the I Ching, and it can change a person's physique.
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Years Earth Spirit Milk can harmonize the medicinal properties. If you add a drop when refining pills, the success rate will be greatly increased, and the efficacy of the refined pills will be better.
As for the strange black and white flower that resembles a lotus, Bi Fan knew nothing about it, so he called it the 'two-color strange lotus'.
When he saw the Ten Thousand Year Old Earth Vein Spirit Milk, Bi Fan seemed to see hope.
As long as he could swallow a drop of ten thousand year old earth vein spiritual milk, his physical condition would be greatly improved and become suitable for cultivation.
Being able to practice cultivation is Bi Fan's dream. The dream is right in front of him, but he can't reach it.
Bi Fan was only about fifteen meters away from the Ten Thousand Years Earth Spirit Milk. It was very close, but for Bi Fan's current physical condition, it seemed like a world away.
Bi Fan gritted his teeth and moved his body, but every movement was extremely difficult and painful.
"No, I can't give up! I can never give up." Bi Fan was always supported by a belief.
As the distance got closer, Bi Fan was very excited. He forgot the pain and continued to crawl forward, leaving a long trail of blood.
Suddenly, the white petals shone brightly, thick white mist rose up, a fragrant smell spread, and the cave became much brighter.
When Bi Fan smelled the fragrance, he immediately felt refreshed and even the pain was relieved a lot.
He crawled forward with all his strength and actually moved a few centimeters, which was much easier than before.
Before Bi Fan had time to get excited, he heard a rustling sound and a fishy smell entered his nose.
"Poison?" Bi Fan guessed something.
Soon, Bi Fan saw the true appearance of the poisonous creatures. They turned out to be countless venomous snakes, including some pythons as thick as buckets.
"Is it God's will that kill me?" Bi Fan was unwilling, but he could not move and could only watch the poisonous snake getting closer and closer.
Bi Fan was overwhelmed by fear. Anyone would feel guilty seeing so many poisonous snakes, let alone Bi Fan, who was a fourteen-year-old boy who could not move.
The poisonous snakes passed by Bi Fan without paying any attention to him. They went straight to the rare flower, probably attracted by its fragrance.
Bi Fan had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was swept by the tail of a giant python as thick as a bucket.
"Ah!" Bi Fan suddenly became a flying man.
The giant python's strength was even greater than Zhu San's. Bi Fan's body, which was already on the verge of falling apart, could not withstand the heavy blow and made a "crackling" sound of bones breaking.
The people were still in the space, but Bi Fan had lost consciousness.
Bi Fan just happened to fall towards the two-colored strange lotus. Because many of his internal organs were shattered, he gushed out large mouthfuls of blood, which just happened to fall on the petals of the strange flower.
The two-colored strange lotus sucked all of Bi Fan's blood in an instant, and the black petals suddenly emitted a black light and black gas.
The black gas instantly turned into a black cloud, carrying Bi Fan's body in the air.
As soon as the black gas came out, the poisonous snakes began to tremble, crawling on the ground, motionless, even a few giant pythons were no exception.
Immediately, many black threads shot out from the black petals, and these black threads entered the bodies of the poisonous snakes. The poisonous snakes quickly turned into nothingness. The black threads grew a little stronger and returned to the black petals.
If this weird scene were told to others, no one would believe it. If Bi Fan was awake, he would probably be scared to death.
After doing all this, the black petals actually moved a few times, as if they were very excited.
Afterwards, the black petals absorbed the black air, and without the support of the black clouds, Bi Fan fell down.
The white petals flashed, and a white mist rose up, wrapping Bi Fan in it, forming a huge white cocoon.
Inside the white cocoon, Bi Fan seemed to be fast asleep, very peaceful. The white mist penetrated into his body, and his shattered body recovered quickly.
The white mist can actually heal wounds, it's very magical.
Bi Fan was dying, but soon his breathing became even and his pale face began to show some color.
Five days and five nights passed like this before the white mist finally sank into the white petals. When the white mist disappeared, Bi Fan was still floating in the air.
Five days later, Bi Fan's injuries had all recovered, but he had not yet regained consciousness.
In just five days, Bi Fan had changed a lot. He had grown almost 20 centimeters taller, and his body had become much stronger. His skin had also become extremely fair and shiny.
He seemed like a completely different person, completely transformed. Even if the old man was reborn, he probably wouldn't be recognizable.
The two-colored strange lotus changed again, and it shone brightly. Its roots and leaves flew up, and in an instant it sank into Bi Fan's body and disappeared without a trace.
After the two-colored strange lotus disappeared, the cave became pitch black again, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
