"Junior Uncle, Junior Uncle, come out quickly, come out quickly!"
Ye Feng, who was taking a beauty nap in his cave, heard a commotion outside early in the morning.
Judging from the voice, it should be Zhaoxing's.
Ye Feng cast two mental spells on himself, shivered with pleasure, and then walked out of the cave.
Upon seeing Ye Feng emerge, Zhao Xing didn't wait for his reaction, grabbed his sleeve, and ran off into the distance.
As Ye Feng ran after her, he asked curiously, "What are you doing making such a racket so early in the morning?"
Zhao Xing ran ahead excitedly without turning her head. After hearing Ye Feng's question, she replied, "That Heavenly Spring, when I passed by this morning, I found that it was covered with lotus flowers. Some of the lotus pods have grown to a huge size. That's why I came to see what's going on."
After hearing the reason, Ye Feng became interested as well.
He grabbed Zhaoxing's sleeve with his backhand and instantly overtook her, pulling her along as they flew.
Upon arriving at the Five Elders Peak, Ye Feng was stunned by the sight before him.
Staring blankly at the lake, he muttered as if in a daze, "You said lotus flowers had grown, but you didn't say they were this big!"
Inside the divine spring, there were countless enormous lotus leaves, with lotus stems rising straight up like pillars.
The lotus flowers are pink, white, some are already in full bloom, and some are still buds.
But they all have one thing in common: they're big, super big!
Ye Feng estimated that a single lotus flower could fill an 80-square-meter house.
The fragrance of lotus flowers is not very strong; although it smells nice, it doesn't travel very far.
However, this rule obviously does not apply to these lotus flowers. Their stamens, each as tall as a person, can outnumber the others even if the fragrance is faint.
Looking around, Ye Feng could vaguely see a golden light at the very center of the Heavenly Spring Lake.
A huge golden flower bud appeared and disappeared there.
Concentrating my senses, I was surprised to find a surge of energy emanating from the flower bud.
hiss……
Ye Feng couldn't help but gasp.
What's going on?
Is this the Azure Emperor, the one who is a lotus in the eternal blue sky, reborn into the body of a lotus flower, or is it the Great God of the Three Altars Seas, who is nine-tenths rebellious and one-tenth lotus root powder, who was reborn and chose the wrong birth point?

Ye Feng touched his chin again.
This divine spring of ours was bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, so it should be considered a celestial spring, right?
Does that mean that lotus roots have already formed underneath?
Flying to the edge of Tianquan Lake, Ye Feng stared intently.
The lake water is so clear that you can see right to the bottom.
But the mud at the bottom of the lake blocked the view.
Holding onto a lotus stem that had already matured, Ye Feng simply pulled it upwards.
With spiritual energy protecting him, he wasn't worried about the thorns on the lotus stems pricking him.
However, even without spiritual power, it doesn't matter. With his current defense, it's estimated that neither Jian Chen nor Wu Qiuyu's natal flying swords can break through his defense.
As the lotus stem was pulled up, a lotus root the size of an adult's thigh emerged from the water.
This puzzled Ye Feng. The lotus flower and stem were so big, but the lotus root was only so small.
This ratio is very unscientific!
【Nine Heavens Divine Lotus Root, rated 4 stars. Crisp and sweet, it can be stir-fried, stewed, braised, simmered, steamed, or boiled. It can also be processed into lotus root juice, candied fruit, or canned goods.】
[Efficacy: None yet, it's still a new product]
Feeling incredibly awkward, Ye Feng looked embarrassed, unsure whether inserting it back in now meant it had never been pulled out.
He also lost his composure a bit today.
After all, the reason we came into this world is because of lotus root!
Although this world has cultivators, demons, spirits, and immortals.
But not having internet or games is still quite uncomfortable.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Is it possible that this golden lotus flower... connects the two worlds?
If I wait until these lotus pods mature, is it possible for me to return to the world I once knew?
Just as he was lost in thought, Qi Ye flew in from afar.
He was also carrying something that looked like a bamboo pole on his shoulder, I don't know what it was for.
Seeing Ye Feng staring blankly into space, Zhao Xing ran off to find Qi Ye to play with.
Qi Ye originally wanted to go forward to pay his respects, but seeing that Ye Feng was in a daze, he didn't come over to disturb him.
Landing by the lake, he skillfully tied a thin line to a straight bamboo pole, then attached a reed and a fishhook to the line, and expertly cast the fishhook into the Tianquan spring.
Zhao Xing poked his waist and said, "Senior Brother Qi Ye, how dare you fish in Junior Uncle's pond in front of him?"
Qi Ye chuckled and said, "Junior Uncle never said fishing was forbidden."
Zhao Xing nodded, agreeing with what Senior Brother Qi Ye said.
If the law doesn't prohibit it, then it's permissible; that's always been Junior Uncle's rule.
Zhao Xing asked curiously, "When did you become obsessed with fishing, senior brother?"
Hearing this, Qi Ye immediately perked up and excitedly told Zhao Xing, "It all started with my last mission. I was passing by a stream when I saw an old man sitting by the lake, lost in thought, holding a bamboo pole. I went over to check on him. The old man handed me the bamboo pole and said he was going to the toilet and asked me to keep an eye on the reeds in the river. If they moved up or down, I should lift the pole. But after he left for a short while, the reeds started moving, and guess what?"
At this point, Qi Ye suddenly became excited and started gesturing wildly with his hands. He then said, "It was such a huge fish! When the old man came back from the toilet, he was stunned. He said he had never seen such a big fish in his life and praised me for my talent."
Zhao Xing asked with a curious look, "Have you caught anything these past few days?"
Qi Ye, who had been full of excitement, immediately deflated and said angrily, "I suspect there aren't any fish in this Heavenly Spring at all!"
Ye Feng had walked over without anyone noticing, and upon hearing Qi Ye's words, he immediately lifted his fishing rod.
Looking at the empty hook on the fishing rod, Ye Feng laughed angrily, "You can't even bear to put bait on the hook when you're fishing?"
Qi Ye asked blankly, "What's the bait?"
Ye Feng sighed and pounded his forehead in exasperation.
He reached into his robes, rummaged through the jade slip, and took out two kernels of corn.
It was hooked onto the fishing line and cast into the water.
Fishing is nothing new to him. As a travel blogger, he enjoys fishing wherever he goes.
