The spiritual energy in the blood was as vast as a river. Fortunately, Luo Jianqing's barrier was cast using the magic weapon given to him by his sixth junior brother, which could block the exploration of Yuanying stage cultivators. The chief elder of the Yitian Sect was only in the middle stage of Jindan and did not notice anything unusual.
The first mouthful of his heart's essence and blood was only the beginning. Then, as the slender snake burrowed deeper, Luo Jianqing vomited mouthful after mouthful of blood, seemingly vomiting out all the blood in his body. The spiritual energy contained in this blood madly collided with the barrier, but was finally blocked by the barrier one by one, slowly dissipating into the air, returning to the heavenly way.
Luo Jianqing's realm continued to decline at this moment.
Early stage of Golden Core, late stage of Foundation Establishment, middle stage of Foundation Establishment...
In the end, he fell directly to the Qi Refining Stage!
After he vomited out the last mouthful of blood, Luo Jianqing's whole body shook, and he collapsed backwards weakly, losing consciousness.
At this moment, a sighing voice murmured in his mind: "Nine Lotus Heart Record... So it turns out to be a descendant of Yuxiao Peak?"
As the sound fell, the thunder sounded again!
"The spirits of plants and trees strive for spring and autumn; if you want to follow the will of heaven, why not seize it?"
"Seize the spirit of plants and trees, and seize the laws of spring and autumn."
"The first quest in the Nine Heavenly Records is to seize Spring and Autumn!"
As soon as the voice fell, all the flowers, plants, and trees in the small courtyard began to tremble and shake. They trembled timidly, as if trying to escape, but a strong wind blew past, and an illusory force swept through their bodies, sweeping away countless bright lights and finally sinking into Luo Jianqing's body.
For a moment, Luo Jianqing's body trembled, and he sat in meditation again unconsciously.
His fingers subconsciously formed hand seals, and the light penetrated through the meridian nodes throughout his body. The light moistened the gradually drying meridians, restoring them to their original state. Then it reached Luo Jianqing's Dantian, approaching the golden elixir in the center of his Dantian.
This golden elixir had shriveled up when Luo Jianqing vomited all his blood and essence. Now it had no power to fight back against the light and could only allow it to penetrate into its interior and polish it again.
A cyan light gently blossomed on Luo Jianqing's body, and the illusory power had already flown beyond the confines of the courtyard. They swept through the interior of the Yitian Sect with impunity, and whenever they touched the plants, they would tremble in fear, eventually contributing a little light.
The power swept across the courtyard where the Taihua Mountain disciples were resting, swept across Li Xiuchen who was cursing angrily, swept across the countless young girls of the Yitian Sect who were surrounding Luo Jianqing's courtyard, and finally swept towards the spiritual medicine garden of the Yitian Sect's leader.
Every spiritual herb bowed under the sweep of this force, except for a third-grade spiritual herb that trembled desperately against the force, but in the end, it still contributed a ray of light. This light was much brighter than the others, and after the light left its body, the spiritual herb did not change much, instead, it stretched out its branches and leaves even more freely, heading towards the sunlight.
The Second Elder of the Yitian Sect exclaimed in horror, "Brother! Isn't the Frost Branch Grass afraid of sunlight? Why is your beloved third-grade Frost Branch Grass actually extending its leaves into the sunlight?"
Hearing this, the Great Elder was also horrified and said, "Impossible! This cold grass has been nurtured by me for many years and has long possessed spiritual consciousness. It is impossible for it to do something that would harm itself."
Strange things like this kept happening in the Yitian Sect.
The sunflower that always faces the sun suddenly lowered its head and faced the earth; the plant that only blooms in winter suddenly produced a bud in spring!
It was as if these plants had abandoned the laws of nature and began to do whatever they pleased without restraint. No longer bound by the invisible rules of heaven and earth, they were no longer constrained by the laws of nature. Therefore, in this struggle for survival, some plants gradually withered, while others flourished.
Luo Jianqing was completely unaware of all this. His consciousness slowly regained consciousness, and he also realized that the strength in his body was gradually recovering.
Those light spots flew towards his body from all directions, and as a result, his aura slowly grew, from the Qi Refining Stage, the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Early Golden Core Stage... the Middle Golden Core Stage!
He returned to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. Apart from the piercing pain in his meridians, nothing seemed to have happened. However, when Luo Jianqing looked at the blood coagulated on the ground, he already understood what he had just given up.
All the spiritual power vanished into nothing!
If you want to practice "Nine Heavenly Records", you must give up the spiritual power you have cultivated.
Although the spiritual energy within Luo Jianqing's body now looked the same as before, he felt that it was completely different. He felt out of tune with the world, as if he were rejected by everything. Only the flowers and plants within the Yitian Sect were cheering his awakening with joy, seemingly very excited.
This is the first plunder in "Nine Takes from Heaven", taking away the spring and autumn of plants and trees.
Luo Jianqing cultivated in his courtyard for three days. Once his cultivation had stabilized, he bid farewell to the Yitian Sect and returned home in his flying treasure ship with his fellow apprentices. The Yitian Sect's Third Elder had said, "Fellow Daoist Li hasn't recovered yet. Fellow Daoist Luo, why don't you rest for a while?"
Luo Jianqing, dressed in a green robe, stood in the sky, his long hair moving in the wind, his eyebrows like ink paintings, and smiled, "No need, my master is in urgent need. Thank you for your hospitality."
The Third Elder said, "Since that's the case, I won't stay any longer. Originally, the head brother wanted to personally escort you away, but the cold-branched grass in your yard is about to wither, and you're trying to save it, so you can't spare the time."
Hearing this, Luo Jianqing was slightly startled, a flicker of embarrassment crossing his handsome face. The spiritual energy in his body seemed to have heard the Third Elder's voice, and surged with joy and pride, as if to take credit for it.
