Seeking Immortals

Chapter 64 The Unexpected White Lotus
After seven years, Li Qing returned to Bailian Island.

If Lenggong was once Li Qing's first home, then Bailian Island was his second.

Once back to Bailian Island, Li Qing relaxed all of a sudden.

An isolated island in Zeyuan gives people an extremely warm feeling.

After more than 60 years, Bailian Island is no longer known to the Bailian sect, but there are only a few people such as Ruan Rui left.

but.

"What's the matter, there is a faint fragrance on the island out of thin air."

As soon as Li Qingfu returned to the island, he felt that there was a little bit of a different atmosphere on the island.

He sniffed it with his nose, and there was obviously a refreshing fragrance.

It seems to be the fragrance of lotus seeds...

Following the fragrance, Li Qing stopped in front of a stone house.

This stone house is where he usually retreats.

The fragrance of lotus seeds radiates from the stone house, and a faint layer of mist can be seen faintly above the stone house.

At this moment, there is only the top of the stone house on the island, leaving a thin layer of mist, and the sunlight lingers on, not like an ordinary thing.

"Spiritual creature was born on Bailian Island?" Li Qing was suspicious.

In this situation, it is not like a spiritual creature growing on the island.

Such a good thing really happened, Li Qing was overjoyed immediately, and then thought, "The fragrance of lotus seeds...could it be white lotus?"

Bailian Island used to be the center of Bohu Lake in the world of cultivating immortals. There is a saying in Bohu Fairy Journey:

[... There is a lotus born in the lake, swallowing spirits and spitting out mist, and the sun is shining...]

Now the fragrance of the lotus seeds and the mist made Li Qing think of a white lotus growing in the stone house, breathing out the mist.

Strange to say.

Both Bailian Island and Longzeyuan do not grow lotus, and some saintesses transplanted lotus seeds on the island and in the abyss, but none of them survived.

However, the inheritance of the White Lotus Sect is related to the lotus, not to mention the name of the teaching. Its inheritance method is the Lotus Sutra, and the spiritual root of its son is also a lotus seed. All kinds of causes and conditions are related to the lotus.

Li Qing once guessed that there may be a strange lotus hidden underground on Bailian Island, which suppressed the growth of other lotus seeds.

Looking at the stone house from a distance, Li Qing didn't approach immediately, but only recalled it in his mind.

"In the 19 years of Tianshou, I realized the small gathering spirit formation and successfully set it up on the island. Because the small gathering spirit formation did not gather spiritual energy, I was disappointed and I did not take care of it."

"It's almost 30 years ago."

The small gathering spirit array was set up in Li Qing's usual place of retreat, which was in that stone house.

"Could it be that the 30-year-old Spirit Gathering Formation led out the white lotus from Bohu Xianyoulu?"

"But the small spirit-gathering formation doesn't mean it doesn't gather spirits..."

Li Qing was surprised.

If there is a real white lotus growing in the house, then this white lotus is probably the white lotus recorded in Bohu Xianyoulu, and it may be an original spiritual root.

After all, the spiritual root inheritance of the fairy son of Bailian Island is a lotus seed.

"It's really the original spirit root, that's my chance."

"The original spiritual root is a spiritual creature of heaven and earth. It is timid by nature and can distinguish between good and evil. It only allows familiar people to approach. The so-called familiar people are monks who refine their son's spiritual roots into false spiritual roots."

"When a monk approaches, if there is a hint of malice, the original spirit root will immediately flee after sensing it, and the powerful monk will be helpless."

In Li Qing's mind, he kept recalling the original spirit root information he found from Baiyuefang.

It is especially difficult to meet spiritual objects, and I dare not make a mistake.

After getting ready, Li Qing slowly walked towards the stone house.

Step by step closer.

The closer he got to the stone house, the more fragrant the lotus seeds became, and Li Qing became more certain that the house was a white lotus.

The moment Li Qing pushed the stone house away, a thick mist spread over his face, and he saw a white lotus in the center of the small gathering spirit formation, quietly swallowing the spirit and exhaling the mist, accompanied by bursts of rays of light blooming.

Seeing Li Qing, Bai Lian shrank suddenly in fright, put away all the lotus leaves, and wanted to run away.

Without hesitation, Li Qing immediately circulated the lotus washing sutra, breathing out spiritual energy.

Sure enough, seeing Li Qing running the Lotus Washing Sutra and exuding the aura of the same spiritual root, Bai Lian, who wanted to escape, recognized Li Qing as a familiar person, and once again took root in the ground, the lotus leaves unfolded, revealing a lotus seed in the lotus heart.

Li Qing's eyes were all fixed on Lianxin Lianzi.

The white lotus is indeed an original spiritual root.

Li Qing didn't have the ability to subdue the original spirit root, and he didn't know how to do it.

The chance he mentioned is naturally the sub-spiritual root conceived by the original spiritual root.

The lotus heart lotus seed is the same as the sub-spiritual root he used. Once obtained, Li Qing can use the Naling Sutra to refine the fake spiritual root.

"There are two situations in which the original spiritual root falls into the sub-spiritual root. One is that it falls naturally because it is too mature, and the other is to take a drop of blood and drop it on it. fall."

Li Qing pondered for a while, and after confirming that Bai Lian was completely calm, he took a drop of blood essence and dripped it on the lotus heart. If the heart met the blood essence, a lotus seed would drop from the fruit.

A sense of weakness spread all over his body, Li Qing didn't dare to stay longer, picked up the lotus seeds, and immediately exited the stone house.

……

Half a month later, Li Qing recovered from his weakness.

At the end of his life, a drop of blood would make him weak for half a month.

Li Qing probably already figured out the matter of Bai Lian's birth.

In other words, this is not an era of absolute spirits, but only an era of weak spirits. There is spiritual energy in the world, but it is only relatively thin. Why are all kinds of spirit gathering arrays ineffective.

Li Qing couldn't help but attribute the invalidity of the Spirit Gathering Formation to spiritual objects and other underground objects.

There are spirits underground, and spirits are most sensitive to spirit energy. Whenever a spirit gathering array is set up, in this era of lack of spirit energy, spirit creatures will snatch away the gathered spirit energy.

of course.

Those who snatch spiritual energy do not only refer to spiritual objects, but also include all underground objects such as earth veins and mine veins.

Most things like aura. When the aura of heaven and earth is strong, it is not obvious to grab the aura. When the aura is thin, they rush madly one by one.

The five-element spirit-gathering formation is effective, mostly because there is an extra person in the formation who grabs the spiritual energy. When the spirit-gathering formation is already in effect, the people who set up the formation consume life force to lift the spiritual energy upwards, and the things underground can't be grabbed. A trace of spiritual energy was intercepted and left in the formation.

After Bailian Island had a small spirit-gathering array, Bailian was also scrambling for the gathered aura. In order to grab more than other underground things, it moved to the surface step by step. After nearly 30 years, it finally moved to the surface.

The original spirit root was timid and cautious, Bailian Island was originally Bailian's hometown, and Bailian Island had been sparsely populated for a long time, so it dared to move up like this.

"If I hadn't left the island for seven years, Bai Lian might not have dared to be born. Seven years ago, I obtained the Naling Sutra to improve the talent of false spiritual roots in Baiyuefang, but I couldn't use it because I lacked the same kind of spiritual roots."

"Live long is good, if you don't live long, how can you wait until today's opportunity."

Needless to say, Li Qing immediately used the newly obtained lotus seeds to refine the fake spiritual root.

"I only have one year left in this life. It's the right time to retrain the fake spiritual root once. It is said that half of the existing vitality will be lost, and there will be almost no loss in my lifespan."

If the third life has already begun, Li Qing would not choose to retrain the fake spiritual roots at this moment, but would also choose to retrain when the third life is approaching.

To refine the fake spiritual root, there is no need to warm the adopted son's spiritual root with the blood of the tip of the tongue for 49 days like the first time, just take a drop of essence blood.

this day.

Li Qing poked the tip of his tongue, dripped the blood essence on a lotus seed, and put the lotus seed in his mouth.

Nalingjing works.

The lotus seed enters along the tip of the tongue, the sub-spiritual roots entangle and collide, and are destroyed in an instant, Li Qing loses half of his remaining vitality, and suddenly, the entangled two sub-spiritual roots merge into one, and live in the tongue.

Li Qing's first re-refining of the fake spirit root was considered complete.

The fake spiritual root talent has been improved by one bar.

"Spiritual root talent improvement has such a magical effect. Without the help of spiritual rice and spiritual stones, my spiritual root can now breathe out spiritual energy, and it can actually help improve my cultivation base..."

Li Qing suddenly discovered that the spiritual energy in the world is thin, and it can only help the monks below the third level of Qi Refining to cultivate normally, but there may be a hidden condition, the monks here refer to false miscellaneous spiritual roots and fake spiritual roots.

The true spirit root should be different, or it can be cultivated to the sixth level of qi refining.

Tianlinggen may be able to cultivate to the ninth floor, and there is no limit to the use of spells.

The spiritual root affects the amount and transformation efficiency of the spiritual energy inhaled by a monk. The better the spiritual root attribute, the more the inhaled amount will naturally be, which can weaken the influence of thin spiritual energy in a disguised form.

Li Qing's fake spiritual root after retraining once can allow him to cultivate to the fifth level of Qi refining.
