Chapter 240 Nine-Leaf Lotus
As soon as Lin Xiaoman approached that place, he was reminded by Bai Bai.
"Master, there is a heart-eating beast under the Nine-Leaf Lotus. Be careful."
Lin Xiaoman stopped and looked back at him, "Baibai, do you recognize this? Is this the Nine-Leaf Lotus?"
"Yes, the Nine-Leaf Lotus grows one leaf every hundred years. Nine leaves is perfect. It's a great tonic for cultivation."
Bai Bai nodded happily. He had never eaten or seen the Nine-Leaf Lotus, but when he saw this, information about the Nine-Leaf Lotus automatically appeared in his mind.
Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned back to count carefully. He found that most of them had four to five leaves, two had seven leaves, and the one in the center had eight leaves. He was rich!
She has hope of reaching the late stage of foundation building, and even the Jindan stage may not be so far away.
Thinking of this, she hurried forward, but also listened to what Bai Bai said, be careful of the heart-eating beast under the nine-leaf lotus. This thing is extremely fast and very small, but once it bites someone, it will drill into the human body and finally drill into the heart and stay there until it eats the entire heart before drilling out from the chest.
Lin Xiaoman didn't want to be eaten, so she stuck several high-level golden talismans on her chest and many more on various parts of her body, then went forward to pick the nine-leaf lotus.
None of the nine-leaf lilies in the pond showed any signs of growing leaves in the near future. It took a hundred years for one leaf to grow. She didn't want to wait any longer, so her target was all the nine-leaf lilies that had already grown in the pond.
Lin Xiaoman approached, took a deep breath, and jumped up, heading towards the eight-leaf and nine-leaf lotus in the middle. If he wanted to pick it, of course he would find the best one first.
As soon as the spiritual power passed, it was blocked. A heart-eating beast the size of a wasp flew out like lightning and attacked Lin Xiaoman fiercely.
Lin Xiaoman had anticipated this and immediately dodged, while at the same time throwing out several high-level fire talismans to cover every direction around the Heart-Eating Beast. As long as it was in mid-air, she was not afraid that these flames would hurt Nine-Leaf Lotus.
Several high-level fire talismans did not have much deterrent effect on the fifth-level demon beast, the Heart-Eating Beast, and only stopped it for a short while. But this short time was enough for her to pluck a few leaves of the Nine-Leaf Lotus and put them into her storage bag.
Although it is a four-leaf one, every piece she can get counts. She will definitely pick the eight-leaf one in the middle. She must capture this heart-eating beast today.
However, in this cave, and not wanting to harm the Nine-Leaf Lotus in the pond, Lin Xiaoman was a little hesitant when she moved, and could not attack with a large number of talismans. The two sides were in a stalemate, and Lin Xiaoman suddenly remembered that she still had many unique talismans, all of which were left to her by Xuantian Fuzun.
Lin Xiaoman, who was originally running fast, suddenly stopped, turned around and threw a handful of talismans at the angry Heart-Eating Beast, wrapping it up.
The Heart-Eating Beast had witnessed this method used by the cultivator in front of it several times. Every time, it would wrap itself in the talisman, but the power was not great and it could break through it quickly. But every time this happened, the hateful cultivator would steal several pieces of Nine-Leaf Lotus from it.
The Heart-Eating Beast was furious. Seeing another pile of talismans enveloping it, it immediately jumped in anger. It violently tore the talismans apart and continued chasing Lin Xiaoman. However, after tearing through the layers of talismans, it felt a little... Hmm? Dizzy? How could this be? Why is there such a strange fragrance? Ah, so dizzy.
Seeing that the Heart-Eating Beast was flying unsteadily after breaking through his pile of Drunkenness Talismans, Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up and he quickly threw another Drunkenness Talisman to wrap it up.
When the Heart-Eating Beast felt dizzy, it quickly dispelled the strange smell. Just as it was about to continue chasing, its eyes went dark and it was faced with a large number of talismans. It tore them apart angrily and locked its senses, trying to resist the fragrance, but there was still some, but it was better than the previous one. It's just... why did it tear apart layer after layer, continuously, with no end?
Lin Xiaoman stood in mid-air not far away, looking at a large ball made of intoxicating talismans in front of him with a smile. A fifth-level monster? It was so easy.
However, she did not dare to be careless. She wrapped them up with intoxicating talismans one by one and left. When she could no longer hear the sound from inside, she put them away and burned them with fire talismans.
Only then did she dare to pick the nine-leaf lotus again, fearing that there might still be a heart-eating beast in the pond. Although she felt that the possibility was very low, after all, if there really was one, the noise she had just made would have alarmed it.
Sure enough, picking the nine-leaf lotus was much smoother again. Lin Xiaoman plucked all the nine-leaf lotus leaves in the pond, classified them according to the number of leaves, and placed them in a jade box with a seal. He also gave an eight-leaf nine-leaf lotus to Baibai. The little guy had made a great contribution this time, and this was what he deserved.
"Wow, thank you Master."
Bai Bai took the nine-petal lotus leaf that was bigger than both of his and shouted excitedly. He opened his mouth and took a bite, but only a small gap was left on it. He stopped after three bites, savoring the taste with enjoyment and satisfaction, and put the remaining leaf into his storage space.
Lin Xiaoman smiled with her lips curved. She originally wanted to pull out the entire nine-leaf lotus, but Baibai said that the nine-leaf lotus had extremely high requirements for the growing environment and it would be difficult to grow if it was moved, so she had to give up.
However, the environment of this cave is not bad. Now that she has picked all the leaves of the nine-leaf lotus, the concentration of spiritual energy has decreased a little, but it is still very high, so she feels relieved.
"Then I will practice in seclusion here. It just so happens that with the Nine-Leaf Lotus here, I might even be able to break through to the late stage of foundation building."
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoman found a place to settle her home, and then arranged the formation given by Chen Shuyan around it. Even if it consumed spirit stones, she would use it just in case.
Everything is ready. Lin Xiaoman took out a four-leaf nine-leaf lotus and started eating. Well, it’s really delicious. It has a lotus fragrance and melts in the mouth, leaving a sweet and refreshing feeling. Wow, so refreshing!
Warm currents flowed through her body's veins, and soon she felt a large amount of spiritual power entering and flowing into her body. She hurriedly practiced kung fu, guiding the turbulent spiritual power to follow the original route, and after a circle, it entered her dantian.
Accumulating little by little, a four-leaf Nine-Leaf Lotus had a very good effect. When she finished eating a six-leaf Lotus, her expectations for the eight-leaf Lotus were maxed out. After eating a piece of each of the seven-leaf and eight-leaf Nine-Leaf Lotus, she felt a little regretful why she didn't try to leave the eight-leaf Lotus in the pond and wait. Maybe when the nine-day trial was over, she would be able to get the nine-leaf Lotus?
Lin Xiaoman felt that she was only one step away from the late stage of foundation building, so she simply ate the eight-leaf nine-leaf lotus first. Of course, good things should be enjoyed by herself first. It was impossible for her to sell them for spirit stones unless they were of no use to her. After all, she was a talisman cultivator and was not so poor as to sell her property, hehe.
