Chapter 759 - A Hundred Thousand Year Colored Lotus!
a top designer in her field; this kind of outfit wasn’t too strange.But during this period, he had only perceived Zhao Hongyu as a super virtuous mother role model and forgot she also had her career....Chapter 759: A Ten Thousand Year Colored Lotus!
Swish...
Huo Ren flew into the "cave" mansion on sword qi.
The Golden Light Shield buzzed as it circled around twice before embedding itself into a crevice in the valley.
Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 glanced at each other, then shot out Yin-Yang Rings towards the spirit fields. The black-and-white rings hovered above the apex of the seven-hearted five-colored lotus, emitting waves of light.
In the next two days, neither Huo Ren nor the seven-hearted five-colored lotus could afford any mishaps; Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 had to stay in the valley to fend off any potential issues.
Xie Yujia also firmly stayed on Mysterious Peak, taking care of these young snow lion cubs while attempting alchemy.
Refining a sixth-grade pill might be beyond her limit, but she still wanted to try. The spirit herbs in the fields had their years greatly increased due to the array formation's effect; thus, materials were not lacking.
Duan Yao accompanied Huo Ren to the Fifth Heavens but didn't want to go to the Sixth Heavens, so she stayed behind in the valley and carved out a cave mansion, flying inside to rest.
Zhao Yanzi knew that Huo Ren was going to adjust his cultivation when she saw the barrier rise at Huo Ren's cave entrance; she understood he wouldn't see anyone nor allow any disturbances.
She lingered in the valley for half a day, seeing no movement from Huo Ren's cave mansion. Eventually, worrying about her uncle, she gave Xie Yujia a few reminders before flying to land.
The silence seemed like calm before the storm as time slowly passed; Mysterious Peak was eerily still and oppressive.
Areas near Mysterious Peak were already restricted zones of the Fifth Heavens. Not only could cultivators from the Fifth Heavens not move around freely, even those from the Sixth and Seventh Heavens had to detour when passing through.
Plop...
After two days, a small bud suddenly bloomed on the seven-hearted five-colored lotus in the center of the spirit fields.
A faint fragrance instantly permeated Mysterious Peak.
The pure white bud radiated with top-notch jade-like luster; one could sense it wasn't an ordinary thing merely by looking at it.
Every living creature in the valley seemed to have been cleansed instantly, and the remaining spirit herbs in the field grew wildly. Even ordinary grass became as beautiful as green gems.
The young snow lion cubs barked loudly; their fur on their bodies turned from white to gold, and their unformed demon cores gradually solidified within this thick aura.
Inside her cave mansion where she was refining pills, Xie Yujia felt as if all the meridians in her body had been cleansed once, causing the techniques of the Life-Death Talisman to become faster.
In the cave mansion where she was cultivating her cultivation technique, Duan Yao also sensed a fresh breath passing through her body, aiding her realm to break through slightly.
Liu L琳琳 and Liu 莉莉 were already at the Nascent Soul stage, so they weren't affected too much, but they knew this was a sign of the seven-hearted five-colored lotus about to mature.
Pap
The other two Seven-Hearted Rainbow Lianas, under the influence of the central one, also unfolded tiny 'buds'.
The trio of snow lotuses emitted陣陣花香。
The surrounding spirit grasses instantly paled in comparison.
Outside Mystic Peak, three sects saw a gentle glow emanating from the peak’s barrier.
This light, though faint and pale, reached far and wide.
Hao Ren sat inside his cave dwelling, sealing himself off to solidify his Middle Phase Xun Rank realm.
Xie Yujia swiftly cast hundreds of talismans before she managed to extract three Level Six pills from the cauldron. She then rushed out of her cave dwelling and hurriedly went to check on the Seven-Hearted Rainbow Lianas in the spirit field.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were already standing beside the spirit field, closely observing the changes in the Seven-Hearted Rainbow Lianas.
The white petals gradually took on a hint of color.
Whizz
Duan Yao also flew out from her makeshift cave dwelling. Seeing the petals of the Seven-Hearted Rainbow Lianas slowly take on color, she secretly marveled at it.
The five colors represented five different elemental attributes.
This transformation process was very slow and silent. However, without the catalysis of spirit fluid, this process would have taken hundreds of years to complete.
From Mystic Peak, light gradually transformed from white into a myriad of colors, like ethereal ribbons floating in the Five Heavens, shrouding the entire Mystic Peak in an aura of mystery.
In the past, even high-level cultivators from the Fifth Heaven, Sixth Heaven, or Seventh Heaven would have come to investigate this situation. But now, despite their great curiosity and amazement, no one dared to provoke this sore spot.
The maturation process of the three Seven-Hearted Rainbow Lianas was very tranquil, lacking any intensity, which only made people more anxious.
No one knew whether these highly sensitive plants would suddenly wither due to their sensitivity to the natural energies.
Pop...
The central Seven-Hearted Rainbow Liana bloomed into a large lotus flower.
Its petals were vividly colorful, while its heart was a pitch-black lotus pod.
The seven round holes on the top of the pod absorbed the natural energies from heaven and earth, one thread at a time.
Lü Linlin and Lü Lily nervously clenched their palms, while Xie Yujia placed both her hands in front of her chest, breathing carefully.
The two Seven-Hearted Five-Colored lotus flowers bloomed slightly smaller petals that similarly encased a black pod inside them.
It was quiet; aside from the colorful light radiating out, there wasn’t any sound. And even this weak light wouldn’t be visible if it weren’t for the changes in the ethereal peak’s barrier to reflect all colors of light outside.
Xie Yujia and the rest stood motionless. It was as though time had stopped; the snow lion cubs shrank back, unmoving too.
Unlike a top-grade spirit herb, there was no pressure emanating from this innate magic treasure. Its petals’ colors would change a layer and then gradually fade to common white again.
If not for Xie Yujia’s attention on it, it would look like an unremarkable water lily.
Were it growing in some corner of the cultivator world, alongside other various flowers and grasses, no one would take notice either.
Even a Nascent Soul修士 wouldn’t sense its spirit qi.
The place where this was growing must be an area abundant with top-grade spirit herbs. Finding such plants made cultivators excited; who would pay attention to the small lotus flower
Sizzle…
A few pieces of lotus leaf fell into the water, quickly growing back a large expanse of them.
Xie Yujia was about to get excited when she realized these were just common lilies.
The three Seven-Hearted Five-Colored lotuses hid themselves among the flowers. If not for Xie Yujia and Lü’s sisters’ attention, they would’ve been impossible to find.
But that wasn’t an issue; with hundreds of lilies, all cut down, she could locate the seeds. But who, in facing numerous top-grade spirit herbs in a wild environment, would cut them all down and take them back to their sect
The Seven-Hearted Five-Colored lotus was scarce; even among cultivators, only few knew about it due to its ability to hide under the cover of abundant spirit qi.
As dusk fell, petals from the three Seven-Hearted Five-Colored lotuses began falling one after another. During this process, surrounding flowers replaced each other in waves, always enveloping them.
The two smaller seven-colored lotuses on both sides saw their black pods drop finally. Lü Linlin and Lü Lily’s Yin-Yang rings collected them, sending the pods to their sisters’ palms.
They pried open the pods, each taking out a black seed from inside.
The lotus seeds were like little black pebbles without any spirit qi fluctuations. If they fell into the water pool, no one would notice.
All had been there for ten thousand years.
Lü Linlin and Lü Lily smiled at each other in relief; regardless of anything else, they already had two ten-thousand-year-old lotus seeds. Even if something went wrong with the hundred thousand-year-old one, it wouldn’t matter too much.
Just as they thought this way, the middle Seven-Hearted Five-Colored lotus saw its black pod like a palm drop finally wilt and fall.
Xie Yujia was anxious and rushed over in one swift step, almost flying to scoop up the lotus calyx before placing it on the opposite side of the spirit field.
All the spiritual liquid had dried up, and those lotuses were all dead. Where the Seven-Hearted Rainbow Lotus used to grow, a round pit was now visible.
Xie Yujia picked out the lotus seeds, shook them, and three small lotus seeds dropped from one of them.
"Lady Mother has good luck. These three little lotus seeds will be able to cultivate in the future," Lu L琳琳和Lu 莉莉姐妹笑著說道。
註釋：此處的“琳琳”和“莉莉”是人名，保持原文不變。
The two lotus seeds they took out were actually not fully matured, so there were no small lotus seeds inside. However, Xie Yujia's lotus seed absorbed enough nutrients and contained three little ones.
Xie Yujia smiled faintly and put the three small lotus seeds into her bracelet. She knew clearly that it would be even harder than climbing to heaven to grow another Seven-Hearted Rainbow Lotus again.
"Sir, the colorful lotus succeeded."
Lu L琳琳和陸莉莉姐妹飛到郝仁的洞府門口，高聲叫喊。
註釋：此處的“琳琳”和“莉莉”是人名，保持原文不變。
Hao Ren, who was cultivating, was slightly surprised when he heard the Lu sisters' shouts and immediately ran out of his cave.
The Lu sisters unfolded their fair palms to reveal two black lotus seeds.
The black and white rings suddenly retracted, and the seal on Mysterious Peak was lifted.
"Oh!"
Zhao Yanzǐ, riding her Purple-Qing Treasure Sword with her head down, crashed into the valley.
She returned to Donghai Dragon Palace where she spent a day accompanying. Seeing that Uncle Three didn't want to come out of his secret room and seemed fine, yet also worried about Hao Ren, she hurriedly flew toward the Fifth Heaven.
To her surprise, Mysterious Peak's barrier was closed at this time; even with the imprint Zhen Cōngming gave her, she couldn't break through it.
When she suspected something might have gone wrong in Mysterious Peak and desperately hit against the barrier out of worry, it suddenly opened, causing her to crash headfirst onto the grassy field at the bottom of the valley.
Hao Ren stretched his hands as if he was an arrow shooting upward, catching Zhao Yanzǐ's clumsy fall.
"You're annoying," Zhao Yanzǐ noticed that Hao Ren caught her right on her chest and immediately adjusted herself to slap away Hao Ren's hand.
Riding her Purple-Qing Treasure Sword, she deliberately ignored Hao Ren and awkwardly flew toward Xie Yujia. "Did it succeed"
"Mm-hmm," Xie Yujia lifted her hands to show Zhao Yanzǐ the black, smooth yet irregular lotus seed.
Seeing that Uncle Three was fine but unsure of what Hao Ren would do next, Zhao Yanzǐ's flush slightly faded as she turned and asked Hao Ren.
Now she clearly understood that in her heart, Hao Ren was more important than Uncle Three. Although there wasn't much danger for Hao Ren on the Fifth Heaven, she felt anxious every day without seeing him while in Donghai Dragon Palace.to Hao Ren's face, took a deep breath, and like a woodpecker, quickly and accurately pressed her lips onto Hao Ren’s mouth.This girl... just a few days ago she was reading the emergency manual in the...
