Shushan.
The back mountain.
A pond filled with ethereal mist, upon which lotus flowers shimmer with radiance.
There were exactly nine lotus flowers, no more and no less.
Qingwei supported Moxie with one hand and said with a smile, "This is the Enlightenment Lotus, which has the effect of saving lives and healing the wounded!"
Without him saying it, Moye also sensed the powerful spiritual energy in that lotus pond.
"Looks like I've incurred a huge favor this time..." he sighed inwardly.
"Thank you for your help, Sect Leader Qingwei."
"Young friend, there's no need for such formalities!"
With a flick of her whisk, Qingwei caused the lotus flowers in the pond to gather together in an array.
He gently patted Moye on the back, "Go!"
A gentle breeze lifted Mo Xie's body and carried him to the center of the lotus pond.
Mo Xie floated in the center of the nine lotus flowers, the misty water vapor gently caressing his body, making him feel his blood rush.
"It works..." His face lit up with joy.
Qingwei made hand seals, silently recited incantations, and then waved her whisk at the nine lotus flowers.
The nine lotus flowers bloomed in succession until they were full and radiant.
Qingwei flicked her whisk, placed it in her arm, stroked her beard, and laughed, "It will only take forty-nine hours for you to fully recover. Not only that, but it will also allow you to comprehend the Dao through mortal experience!"
"Thank you!" Mo Xie simply said, as he clearly felt a gentle force washing over his body.
Qingwei said, "I see that your black sword has some kind of magical power. May I have the pleasure of taking a look?"
"Watch it if you want."
In any case, whether it is formless or tangible, it is all in my heart, so Moye has no fear of being taken away by unscrupulous people.
"These nine lotus flowers of enlightenment carry the cultivation of the nine of us. Young friend, you may take the time to comprehend them!"
"I will return after forty-nine hours!"
After Qingwei finished speaking, she flew away.
Mo Xie felt an unusual sense of comfort in his soul and unknowingly fell into a mysterious, unconscious state.
As the lotus's spiritual energy continued to wash over him, the persistent black mark between Mo Xie's brows gradually faded, and his heart pounded rapidly, sending fresh blood throughout his body...
...
Two days passed by in a flash.
Sect Leader Qingwei and Qingxu, along with other elders, stood outside the lotus pond.
Silently watching the young man floating above the lotus pond.
"The Nine Enlightenment Lotuses are the result of our years of cultivation; they are the foundation for Shu Mountain's disciple training!"
"You just let him use it like that?"
The stern-faced, black-bearded elder, Qingxu, said in a deep voice, "Besides, it's not even certain whether he is the savior!"
Qingwei smiled and said, "Judging from the reflection in the Qiankun Mirror, he is undoubtedly the one destined for this great calamity."
Qingyun said, "I also think that you, Senior Brother, have been a bit reckless. Even if this child is the savior, we can still save his crippled body with the miraculous medicines of Mount Shu. Why use the Enlightenment Lotus?"
Qingxu sighed, "Qingyun is absolutely right! The Nine Enlightenment Lotuses are a crucial asset for your ascension to the Immortal Realm, Senior Brother!"
Qingwei explained, "The great calamity has arrived, and we don't have much time left, so we have no choice but to use the Enlightenment Lotus!"
"As for the so-called immortality..."
He shook his head and smiled, "For thousands of years, the primary task pursued by our Shu Mountain has not been to become an immortal... but to protect the human world!"
The elders, including Qingxu, changed their expressions and bowed with shame, saying, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, we have learned a great deal!"
Just then,
The thin mist in the lotus pond began to swirl, and the nine crimson lotuses dimmed and turned pale in an instant, then withered and turned yellow.
"It's done!"
Qingwei's eyes lit up.
...
Inside the Ziwei Palace.
"Mo Xie, how are you?" Fa Lan asked with concern.
Mo Xie, dressed in a white Shu Mountain robe, patted his chest and said, "Very good!"
The so-called Enlightenment Lotus not only healed his crippled body, but also elevated his physical form to a higher level.
He discovered that both his soul power and his blood energy had increased dramatically.
"Because my physical condition has improved, has my 'golden finger' also advanced to a higher level?"
Mo Xie thought to herself.
Fa Lan nodded, remained silent for a few moments, and then said, "Now that you have recovered, I should leave..."
Mo Xie then noticed that she was dressed formally, carrying a sword and a yellow cloth bag at her waist, and her face was as rosy as a peach blossom in spring.
Silly little nun, are you actually feeling shy now?
He asked, "Why are you leaving?"
Fa Lan said softly, "Now that you're fully recovered, I naturally have to leave."
Mo Xie said, "But as far as I know, ghosts and demons are rampant in the human world now!"
Fa Lan said, "That's precisely why I'm even more determined to go down the mountain."
Mo Xie grinned and said, "Then I'll go with you! Hehehe, didn't we agree to go and uphold justice together? Why are you..."
Before Mo Xie could finish speaking, Fa Lan shook her head and said, "No need! I already know from Sect Leader Qingwei..."
She looked at Mo Xie with gentle eyes and said softly, "Your mission is to save all living beings!"
After saying that,
Without waiting for Mo Xie to say anything more, she gave him a proper Taoist bow and walked out of the hall.
Mo Xie opened her mouth, but didn't know how to persuade her to stay.
He had always known that what this silly little Taoist nun held in her heart was always the well-being of all people...
He wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that the young Taoist nun taking him all the way to Mount Shu meant she was deeply in love with him.
