He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
What a pleasant surprise!
Is the change in the medicinal wine due to the spiritual energy within it? Or is it due to the different flow of time?
I wonder if other things will change inside?
He decided to go back and experiment with it properly.
After the old Taoist priest recovered from his surprise, Chu Mo got up to take his leave.
"Fellow Daoist, wait!"
Master Huang hurriedly got up, took out an ancient wooden jar the size of a fist from a hidden compartment in the main hall, and solemnly handed it to Chu Mo.
"Buddhism speaks of reincarnation, Taoism believes in cause and effect. Fellow Taoist, you have shown me great kindness today, which I have no way to repay. Please accept this golden lotus seed."
"Golden lotus seeds? What are those?"
Chu Mo took it with slight doubt, then opened it to take a look.
There lay a lotus seed, about the thickness of a thumb, quietly in the finest silk cloth.
The lotus seed's dark jade-colored shell is covered with silk-like golden veins, making it very beautiful.
A pure and rich aura of life emanated from it.
Chu Mo was slightly shocked; this thing was definitely not simple.
The old Taoist priest smiled slightly.
"These lotus seeds were obtained by my master by chance from a cave in the Kunlun Mountains."
"According to the ancient records at the scene, once the golden lotus blooms and bears fruit, its entire body is a treasure. Eating its petals can even help a Golden Core cultivator break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"
"What? This is far too precious, I can't accept it!"
Chu Mo was immediately shocked and hurriedly handed it back.
If it can truly help Golden Core cultivators break through to Nascent Soul stage, then its value will be immeasurable.
It is many times more precious than Kunlun Immortal Wine; for cultivators, this is a true elixir!
The old Taoist priest waved his hand to stop Chu Mo from refusing, and explained with a wry smile:
"Fellow Daoist, please don't be so quick to refuse. The conditions for the Golden Lotus Seed to mature are far too demanding."
"First, it needs to be placed in the dantian sea of a Foundation Establishment cultivator and soaked for three months to stimulate its vitality."
"Then it was planted in a place rich in spiritual energy, where it sprouted after sixty years and matured after five hundred years."
"I have no hope in this life, but you, my fellow Daoist, can give it a try."
The old Taoist priest spoke with a sincere expression.
Even if he manages to reach the upper-grade Qi Refining stage this time with the help of Kunlun Immortal Wine, he will only live for another sixty years at most.
For him, breaking through a major realm and entering the Foundation Establishment stage in sixty years was basically impossible.
In the path of cultivation, the difficulty of breaking through to higher realms is more than ten times greater than before.
Even if one is lucky enough to reach the lower stage of Foundation Establishment, one can only live to be three hundred years old, and at most barely see the seed sprout.
However, it will take another five hundred years to reach maturity.
A mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator can live to be 400 years old, while a high-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator has a lifespan of 500 years.
A Golden Core cultivator's lifespan is only 600-800 years.
In other words, he needs to reach at least the Golden Core stage before he can see the lotus bloom.
With his qualifications, he wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing at night.
Chu Mo finally accepted it.
These golden lotus seeds are treasures that other cultivators can see but cannot touch.
But for him, it was just around the corner.
Now that he is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is not difficult for him to stimulate the vitality of the lotus seeds.
The bronze cauldron possesses pure and abundant spiritual energy, and coupled with the flow of time within it, it is simply an ideal place to cultivate lotus flowers.
While others might have to wait five or six hundred years, he only needs to wait two years.
Thinking of its enormous effects, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
...
The old Taoist priest escorted Chu Mo all the way to the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain before solemnly bowing to him.
"I will remember your great kindness today, fellow Daoist. If you ever need anything in the future, please feel free to speak up."
"You flatter me, Master. I have gained a lot from today's gathering. I hope we can meet again someday."
Chu Mo returned the greeting politely, and then he and Liu Ruyan went to the car in the distance.
"Chu Mo, if there's nothing else, I'd like to go see Xiao Meng and the others as soon as possible."
Liu Ruyan looked slightly excited. She hadn't seen her younger brother and sister for more than half a year and wondered how they were doing.
"Then you drive, we'll go now."
Chu Mo handed her the car keys, then turned and got into the passenger seat.
"good!"
The thought of seeing them soon filled Liu Ruyan with excitement.
He kept talking nonstop the whole way, happily chattering as he drove:
"Xiao Meng is both well-behaved and smart. She's even better at studying than me. From elementary school to high school, she was always number one in her grade."
"Xiao Zhi is not bad either. I heard that a lot of girls at school are pursuing him. Look at the junior high students these days, they are really something."
Chu Mo found it amusing and couldn't help but tease:
"I remember someone, they also started dating in their second year of high school, right?"
"What? We were so innocent back then, we didn't even hold hands."
Liu Ruyan blushed and immediately retorted.
Chu Mo stopped teasing her and reminded her:
"Ask Xiaomeng if she's finished class yet. Don't wait until she leaves, or you'll have to go back and forth again."
"Oh yeah, Xiao Zhi doesn't have a cell phone, so Xiao Meng has to tell him to wait after class."
As Liu Ruyan drove, she casually took out her phone and handed it to Chu Mo.
"Call Xiaomeng on video first. She just got out of school. Her phone password is 0618."
Chu Mo was slightly taken aback, then took the phone, typed in the message, and the video call connected.
"Xiaomeng, your sister and I are coming to see you later. Please tell Xiaozhi."
"Ah! Brother Chu Mo, are you and my sister coming soon? That's great, I'll go find Xiao Zhi right away."
Liu Rumeng, who had just stepped out of the cafeteria, was overjoyed and couldn't help but cheer.
After hanging up the video call, the girl, like a cheerful little deer, hurried towards her dormitory.
She needed to hurry back and wipe her shoes with water.
