Chapter Text
I've decided that at least some of you deserve to input some Creatures and Existences into this fic's world so here's a list of plants as well in case you want to add on to those. For the ones where they're from another fic, I'll put the link if I can remember what it's from
False Dragonhead → also known as ‘obedience plant’, forces one affected to do whatever they’re told. Fic
Soulful Revelation Heart’s Truth → victim takes on physical age that heart and soul reflect. Fic
[Original Plant] Blossom of Untainted Innocence → turns one into a child for anywhere from a few days to somewhere between 1 and 2 months depending on amount of childhood trauma (memory gets partially reverted - knowledge gets erased back to age one changes to, emotions remain same as before affected)
Truth-Unearthing Lotus → pollen forces one to tell any and all things they’ve been repressing or keeping to themself. Fic
Sun-Moon Dew Mushrooms → plants that can be used to grow a new body to house a soul. Canon
Yellow-Eyed Cherry Blossom → plant that forces one to tell the truth, revolves around secrets. Fic
Blossom Of Two Wolves → plant that splits an individual into two people (in cases of two souls housed in one body, splits the souls into separate bodies). Fic
[Original Plant] Spectral Lunar Agapanthus - extremely pale blue agapanthus flower that only blooms during a “shadowed sanguine moon” which occurs only once every fifty years in the human realm. In the Endless Abyss, there is a part of the realm that has an eternal “shadowed sanguine moon” where this flower blooms nightly. It is the extremely rare vital ingredient in a minor panacea that can cure all illnesses below a certain threshold and is thus highly sought after, only the relative instability of the Endless Abyss keeps cultivators and demons from finding it and harvesting the plant enough for the panacea to be easily purchased
[Original Plant] Seventh Cycle Lunar Sun Amaranthea → amaranth that can be harvested only once every seven years on the shortest day specifically from sunrise to sunset, used for making spiritual alcohol due to the way it stores spiritual energy as it matures. Is to make what is basically xianxia vodka but good for cultivation
[Original Plant] Wide-Smile Shimmering Incandescence → green or blue flowers with a white marking on the petals that looks like an eerily wide grin. They have a ‘shimmering’ glow to the white part of the petals only, and the green/blue parts of the petals turn darker after the flower has fed. These flowers are dangerous, as they can and will kill someone to feast on their blood; as a consequence of their diet, these flowers smell strongly of the way blood is known to taste
Heart-Seeking Nettle → Fic
Mirror-Leafed Plum of True Selves → A climbing flower the shape and colour of plum blossoms, the backs of their petals as clear as glass mirrors. Legends say these were grown by a ghost king adorned in plum blossoms, the pain of losing their beloved causing the anomaly of their appearance. These flowers show the state one’s soul, and in the case of bodies housing two souls allow the individuals to separate after they acknowledge they are separate people. Fic
Wife-Plot/Aphrodisiac Plants
Land of The Tender → flower that releases poison upon being burned, takes on hallucinogenic illusions of affected’s desires as a lure. Fic
Musk Clover → aphrodisiac that only abates after affected finds orgasm from being penetrated. Fic
Moonlit Blooming Dazzling Flower → flower that releases aphrodisiac only when the moon shines on it, mortals are liable to lose their minds trying to find release while cultivators retain enough sense of mind to find a partner. Fic
Fairy’s Heartsease → affects mimic infatuation and obsession, requires dual cultivation to be cured. Fic
Love-Can’t-Lie Amaranth → truth compelling plant that can only be cured by having sex with the one you’re in love with. Fic
[Original Plant] Murmuring Starlight Devotion → pale blue flowers whose pollen activates effects of allowing the affected’s most romantically loved to read their mind when in close proximity. Pollen also mimics aphrodisiacs by raising libido and forcing imitated effects of certain other aphrodisiacs to disguise itself and prolong its effects. It is only this flower’s distinct appearance that allows one to name the flower truly affecting the afflicted person(s), which further allows it to prolong its effects. To break the effects of this particular flower, one must engage in either sexual or nonsexual dual cultivation with the person they love most romantically.
[Original Plant] Ever-Yearning Honeyvine → A vine that gives off secretions slightly thicker than normal plant sap that shimmer in light and have a slight aphrodisiac effect upon absorption into the skin that increases sensitivity towards the touch of others and decreases sensitivity from one's own touch. This plant has a symbiotic relation with the Never-Sating Arbour where the tree in question will act as a “nest” of sorts for the vines. These vines will ensnare someone via wrapping around their chosen victim, the thin membrane skin allowing the sap these vines secrete to be rubbed into the victim until absorbed, before bringing the victim to the tree. These vines will then penetrate the victim sexually and bring them to completion so that their yang energy is spilled onto the tree, which will then feed a portion of that yang energy to the vines. The longer these symbiotic plants have been around indicates they have had more victims, which in turn means that they need more yang energy overtime and so will begin "edging" the completions they bring about in victims until all it becomes all the victim cares about. For more information on the Ever-Yearning Honeyvine, see Never-Sating Arbour.
[Original Plant] Never-Sating Arbour → A tree that grows in curves and twists with an area shaped much like a “nest” that is covered with soft moss grown in the “nest” in place of the tree’s usual bark, moss that is in actuality discarded lengths of Ever-Yearning Honeyvine to ensure that any potential victims will be truly ensnared once caught. This tree’s many curving and twisting branches serve as perfect hanging points for the Ever-Yearning Honeyvine it has a symbiotic relationship with. It blooms black willow flowers during every spring that last until midsummer that give off an aromatic aphrodisiac to lure in potential victims for the Ever-Yearning Honeyvine that it has a symbiotic relationship with. The aphrodisiac that the Never-Sating Arbour gives off lulls a victim into a false state of relaxation, tricking their mind into believing they are completely safe and that there is nothing to worry about while also numbing their pain receptors and enticing the potential victims into wandering within of the Ever-Yearning Honeyvine’s reach. For more information on the Never-Sating Arbour, see Ever-Yearning Honeyvine.
