Bai Mo forced himself to endure as he memorized as much of the vein map as he could.
According to the bamboo slip, to extract the essence of the Celestial Azure Grand Flower, one must first force it to gather in a specific area.
Then, one must manually sever that part.
Clearly, Bai Mo didn't have many options.
The petal before him was the best target.
To do this, he needed to memorize the network of veins that transported its nutrients.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Bai Mo, his mind feeling as if it had been ravaged by a storm, was forced to stop.
The vein map in his mind had already reached an astonishing level of complexity, yet its boundaries were nowhere in sight.
The map was far more unexpectedly intricate than the physical petal suggested.
At that moment, several portly youths arrived.
Seeing Bai Mo resting with his eyes closed, they didn't make a sound to disturb him.
They just sat in a circle to the side, talking in hushed, buzzing tones.
