After hearing Shen Yuanzi's explanation, Wang Mu wished he could immediately rush inside and pluck the Heartbreak Flower.

"It seems, my young friend, you've already made a choice?"

Sensing Wang Mu's thoughts, Shen Yuanzi smiled and said, "Plucking these three flowers will still be somewhat difficult... With your strength, I'm quite optimistic about your chances. Moreover, based on my understanding of the Flower God, the trial is most likely like this..."

Shen Yuanzi coughed a few times and conveyed several sentences through Divine Sense.

The relationships among Qianzhou's Eight Saints seemed quite amicable...

"The Flower Heart Soul Devouring Array... has three levels... with one flower on each..." Shen Yuanzi continued. "Additionally, since the cultivators competing for the flowers are limited to the Golden Core Realm, you might encounter cultivators from that realm. For a little cultivator like you, who has just entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, competing against them in reality would be quite difficult."

"But within the Big Formation, there are various restrictions... Relatively speaking, it won't be as difficult."

"Furthermore, even if you fail to obtain these three flowers, the Flower God has also made available many unique spiritual medicines from Heavenly Fragrance Valley..."

As Shen Yuanzi continued his explanation, Wang Mu arrived at the interior of Heavenly Fragrance Valley.

Inside the valley, the scent of flowers was indeed overwhelming. There were fleeting glimpses of various precious spiritual medicines, and young creatures of the Spirit Clan scurried or flew about.

Although not a Sect, this place was still a unique power in Qianzhou.

After passing through several Spirit Fields, a large, ancient, and traditional-looking courtyard appeared before them, where many cultivators had already gathered.

Among them were several figures familiar to Wang Mu.

For instance, Yan Wuxin from Fentian Temple and Ye Ge from the Supreme Mysterious Dao Sect, whom he had fought at the Magpie Bridge Festival, were present. They were all well-known young elites of Qianzhou, ranked just behind Wang Mu on the previous Potential List.

And... "Hu Yu'er is here too," Wang Mu said in surprise. "That woman has been entangled with Jing Hai from the Dazang Buddha Sect. I heard she even went to the Dazang Buddha Sect specifically to find him recently, which resulted in Jing Hai being punished with confinement by his sect..."

This news had been brought back by a fellow sect disciple from the Great Wilderness.

It was rare to see someone from Ling Province here.

The others included several cultivators from the Potential List at the Magpie Bridge Festival.

Of course, there were many more unfamiliar faces, mostly from Qianzhou, with only a few cultivators from the other provinces.

They were mainly Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, with a fair number from the Golden Core Realm as well.

All in all, quite a crowd had gathered.

News of this kind of special fortuitous encounter might not even reach cultivators outside, and those not particularly interested or paying attention would likely be unaware.

Breakthroughs from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Divinity Transformation Realm are rare, but not extremely uncommon in Qianzhou.

Only succeeding in Crossing Tribulation to reach Ascension could create a sensation across an entire province, or even throughout all Nine Provinces.

Furthermore, since Heavenly Fragrance Valley was usually closed, opening only every few years to sell spiritual medicines, even fewer people knew of it.

Generally, only those with special invitations attended. Loose Cultivators without an invitation rarely heard about such events, let alone came.

Therefore, most who could come here were elites from various prominent Sects.

"Brother Wang!"

Spotting Wang Mu, Yan Wuxin and the others immediately brightened and greeted him.

After the Magpie Bridge Festival, due to the distance between their provinces, Wang Mu had few opportunities to interact with them, a fact he regretted.

Meeting them here was an unexpected opportunity.

"How come you're here too?" Yan Wuxin, with his red hair, strode over and asked with a laugh. "Did you have a fight with your Taoist couple and want to pluck a flower to make amends?"

Wang Mu was momentarily speechless. Nonsense! "Of course... not," he denied.

Yan Wuxin waggled his eyebrows teasingly, his expression clearly showing he didn't believe a word.

"And you?" Wang Mu retorted. "Are you here to pluck a flower too? Oh, right, your two Taoist couples..."

Yan Wuxin's expression shifted, and he quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, I'm just purely curious, here to take a look..."

"You weren't urged to come here by your Taoist couples, were you?" Wang Mu observed his expression. "No flower, no returning to your cave residence?"

Yan Wuxin was lost for words.

"How could that be possible!" Yan Wuxin denied. "I am a man of dignity, after all!"

Wang Mu smiled.

In truth, the effects of these three flowers were primarily beneficial for Taoist couples, so most people here had the same intention.

Of course, there were also cultivators primarily interested in research, hoping to collect rare treasures and exotic flowers.

"Brother Wang, you've reached Foundation Establishment?" Ye Ge approached, surprised, and said, "I haven't seen you in a year, and your cultivation speed is quite fast! But today, those of us in the Foundation Establishment Realm are at the bottom of the ladder here in Heavenly Fragrance Valley."

"Trying to pluck one of those three flowers will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens."

Ye Ge wore an expression of nonchalance, as if he were just here for fun.

Wang Mu observed that this fellow was already close to the late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.

Yan Wuxin had already reached the late stage. His aura was dense and heavy like mist, concentrated and unwavering; he might not be far from the Golden Core Realm.

For these elite ace disciples from major Sects, it wasn't impossible to challenge Golden Core Realm Loose Cultivators despite being a realm lower.

"It's alright. Even if I can't pluck them, it's good to broaden my horizons," Wang Mu said. "As an early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm little cultivator, I can't compare to you all, let alone those in the Golden Core Realm."

"Someone like me is just here to be a stepping stone for you all, a recreational cultivator, hardly worth mentioning."
