Chapter 655 – The Belonging of the Fallen Lotus
Chapter 655 – The Belonging of the Earth’s Core Lotus
Xu Chuniang put away her sword and looked towards the Earth’s Core Lotus that was blocked by the old crone, the corners of her mouth hooked into a smile.
“Then this Earth’s Core Lotus, let’s split it in half between the two of us.”
The old crone’s face did not look too good, she had been guarding this place for more than a hundred years, it was not easy to wait until the Earth Heart Lotus matured, how could she be willing to be asked to take half of it?
Especially some years ago, the Earth Heart Lotus lacked spiritual qi, several times it almost withered and died, it was she who made a great effort to bring it back to life, and also greatly shortened the growth time of the Earth Heart Lotus.
But when the Earth’s Heart Lotus was about to mature, such a person appeared, and did not follow the normal rules.
“Female doll, you this is not too fair, just now you asked me how to conceal your divine sense, I have truthfully told you, this earth heart lotus, is not it should be let in me?”
“If I remember correctly, just now it was senior himself who said that he would let me have some of this Earth Heart Lotus.”
The old woman’s eyes swept over the Earth Heart Lotus, with a look of flesh pain, “This Earth Heart Lotus, there are a total of thirteen petals, I’ll share three petals with you.”
Xu Chuniang shook her head, she wasn’t stupid, although the petals of the Earth Heart Lotus could increase cultivation, its lotus seed was even more precious, it was the antidote to poison.
“How about this, all thirteen petals go to you, and the lotus seed goes to me.”
“No way!”
The old woman was anxious, “I have a great use for the lotus seed, it can’t be divided like this, it’s better if the lotus seed goes to me and the petals go to you.”
“At our level, if we can’t break through to Transformation Spirit, taking these thirteen petals won’t be of much use.”
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment and proposed, “Why don’t we split it in half.”
“No way! I’ve been here for hundreds of years diligently guarding this Earth Heart Lotus, and you’re new here, and you want to go for half just by moving your lips?”
Anger surfaced on the old woman’s face and she gritted her teeth, “Then why don’t you just destroy the Earth Heart Lotus, let’s not take it from anyone, and then we’ll see the real thing underhand!”
Seeing that the crone had put up a fight to the death, Xu Chuniang coughed lightly and advised.
“Don’t be in a hurry, I’m not saying I have to split it like this, if you don’t agree, you can still discuss it again. Good so a heart of the earth lotus, which can be said to be destroyed.”
The old woman’s face slightly slowed down, cold snort, really want to destroy the Earth Heart Lotus, she is also unwilling.
“Then you say, exactly how to divide.”
“I will only take one of the three lotus seeds, and of the thirteen petals, I will also only take six, how?”
The old woman pondered for a moment, still somewhat reluctant.
But she knew that it was already not easy to fight for two lotus seeds, so she nodded and said, “Okay, but I’ll take them first.”
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly, “Yes, but you can only take one petal and one lotus seed at a time, not more. If you take too much, the fire in my hand will not agree.”
Upon hearing this, the old crone’s boss was offended.
She originally wanted to take advantage of the effort of taking first, and end the Earth’s Heart Lotus in one pot, but now it seemed that this method would not work either.
After carefully picking a petal and a lotus seed, the old crone impatiently said, “Your turn.”
Xu Chuniang didn’t care about her attitude and took out two jade boxes, placing the plucked petals and lotus seeds inside.
The two of them gave a picking session, and the originally blooming Earth Heart Lotus was soon gripped bald, leaving only a bare lotus stem.
Along the lotus stem, Xu Chuniang looked at the silt at the bottom of the pool and muttered to herself, “I wonder if underneath this, there can be lotus roots.”
“The lotus flowers and lotus seeds have all been picked by us, where is the lotus root?”
As soon as the old woman pulled out the lotus stems and brought out the roots, there was indeed no lotus root.
She obediently put away the lotus stem and glared at Xu Chuniang, “It’s really cheap.”
Xu Chuniang coughed dryly, “It was the commotion you made that was too loud, startling all the dark rivers and spirit springs in the neighborhood, I didn’t know what kind of change had happened, and I searched along the underground dark river, and that’s how I found this place.” The old woman’s eyes revealed the color of regret, the Earth’s Heart Lotus is about to mature, in order to avoid the night is long and dreamy, she would like to ripen it as soon as possible, or to pick it earlier.
If she had known this, why would she have spent so much effort to ripen it?
“That’s just it, these two lotus seeds are barely enough, it’s cheaper for you, this girl child.”
The old crone shook her head and finished, her figure disappearing in place.
No one was around, but Xu Chuniang didn’t leave in a hurry.
The old crone was able to evade her divine sense, so who knew if she was really gone, or if she was hiding her figure and waiting for an opportunity to strike from the sidelines?
One must be careful in defense of others.
After staying in the cave for a few days and confirming that the crone was really gone, Xu Chuniang returned to the Golden Light Sect on the mountain along the same path.
The young man he saw that day was practicing his sword, while the old man who built the foundation was persuading Shen Miaoling about something.
“Today is already the fourth day, I told you that your master won’t come back, and you still don’t believe me.”
Shen Miaoling was originally silent, being said really impatient, couldn’t help but say, “But I’m eating your Golden Light Sect’s spirit rice, it seems not as good as the one my master gave me, are you really a famous sect?”
The old man choked, “Your master even has high-grade goods such as teleportation talismans, maybe he is a cultivator of some cultivation family, it’s normal to have some family background, you can’t deny our Golden Light Sect because of this.
How about it, have you considered it, do you want to worship me as your master?”
As the old man was speaking, he saw Shen Miaoling in front of him, her complexion slightly moving as she listened towards a certain direction.
The old man looked over suspiciously, and his face changed slightly.
It was actually the female cultivator who had left a few days ago and had returned.
Then wouldn’t what he had just said have been overheard?
The old man touched his nose and explained unnaturally.
“That …… I saw that you were gone for a few days and didn’t come back, so I thought that you were unwilling to join our Golden Light Sect.
You went and came back, are you thinking about it and want to join our Golden Light Sect? As long as you join the sect, I will make you the Left Protector!”
Xu Chuniang shook her head breathlessly, this was the first time she had seen a sect with only two people.
“My disciple and I have average qualifications, so I won’t delay your sect’s prospects.”
Seeing that the two disciples who had been abducted with great difficulty were about to leave, the old man became anxious.
“There will be no delay, there will be no delay, you don’t know much about our sect, when you live in the mountains for some more time, you will realize how many benefits there are to joining the Golden Mountain Sect.”
The old man glanced at the sword she had been carrying behind her, his heart moved, and he followed the advice.
“I see that you seem to be a sword cultivator? If you want to learn the sword, coming to our Golden Mountain Sect would be perfect.
It’s no exaggeration to say that our Golden Mountain Sect’s sword technique completely crushes the Ten Thousand Swords Sect! If you don’t believe me, just take a look at my disciple, his sword technique was taught by me personally, and he has one point of my sword momentum!”
As the old man’s words fell, the teenager practicing his sword flopped and fell on his face.
He climbed up with a red face, patted the mud on his body, and looked at the old man with a somewhat overwhelmed look in his eyes.
The old man hated the iron, “How many times have I told you to concentrate when practicing the sword, you’re distracted again!”
