A life of clearness

Chapter 481 Naming
Heartbeat.

Rong Qing's eyes flashed, while Zhizheng and others all showed puzzled expressions.

Because this heartbeat came inexplicably and strangely.

Rong Qing could sense three heartbeats of slightly different frequencies. Ning Shuang could sense one, but Zhi Zheng and Guan Han could sense four.

"This heartbeat is the heartbeat of the lotus seeds we cultivate," Rong Qing said softly. "Each lotus seed is different, so naturally the heartbeat is slightly different."

"Can the paired marks combined with our spiritual power give birth to life?" Ningshuang didn't believe it.

More than just disbelief, this phenomenon simply went beyond her common sense.

"Maybe. At least it seems possible now, isn't it?" Rong Qing smiled slightly: "In terms of common sense, there are too many unreasonable things in this space. Since the rules say that the golden lotus must be catalyzed to mature and produce lotus seeds, then just do it."

Ningshuang suspected that Rongqing knew more about the matter, but after looking at the two male cultivators who remained silent, she did not have the courage to question Rongqing.

No matter how chaotic the outside world is, no matter how many intrigues and struggles there are, at least the pond where Rong Qingzhizheng and others are is still as quiet as ever.

Ever since the heartbeat appeared, more and more changes have become apparent.

The golden lotus that was nurturing the lotus seed was growing bigger and bigger, and it was faintly agitated from time to time. When I touched the tightly closed golden lotus with my fingers, the power group nurtured inside the golden lotus seemed to respond to the touch and became more active.

Five full days.

Whether it was Rong Qing or Zhi Zheng, they became more and more familiar with the resonance in their bodies, and became more and more accustomed to it. These heartbeats seemed to be nestled close to their hearts, very close.

……

“It’s almost fully mature.”

Bai Hui estimated that in less than half an hour, the golden lotus would be fully matured by them. And then? Of course, it would be ripe and they would take a good look at what was inside.

Ming Jing glanced at Bai Hui who was very curious and hummed softly.

For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

But now that the situation has escalated to this point, they have no choice but to retreat.

Ming Jing and Bai Hui team up to cultivate lotus seeds, but they can only cultivate one.

And each of their fellow disciples has a group of lucky people who can cultivate multiple lotus seeds. Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Ming Jing and Bai Hui still cooperate temporarily despite their competitive relationship.

It all depends on who needs the treasure in the lotus seed more. Anyway, Beichen Pavilion and Danxiao Palace can't just cooperate this once. If Bai Hui really needs it, Ming Jing will step back this time, then Bai Hui will definitely return the favor in the future.

"What do you think will come out?" Bai Hui asked casually.

Could it be that the plants have become spirits?
Looking at the plants covering the entire space, none of them had any intelligence, no matter how old they were. Bai Hui suspected that the plants here were not native to this space, but were moved here by a powerful being.

Look at this completely random distribution. The same flowers are placed here and there, with no pattern at all. It also ignores all soil, temperature and humidity conditions.

"Of course it's the lotus seeds." Ming Jing whispered, "No matter how much information is hidden, at least the rules given by the great senior are not wrong. Haven't we tested this?"

All of their fellow disciples who had received the mark but had no induction had tried, but none of them had succeeded in cultivating lotus seeds. In other words, the statement on the stone tablet that only marks that matched each other could cultivate lotus seeds was correct.

But it was probably because the number of people entering was far from enough, and they were divided into five camps, so the number of lotus seeds that could actually be cultivated was far from enough.

Ming Jing was a little worried. What if the number of treasures opened in the end was very small, or even not all the treasures in the catalog were opened? This meant that they would have to cooperate with Zuihuawu and Phoenix City.

The two teams became extremely greedy this time, and asked for 70% and 30% respectively, and 70% was for them.

What a headache.

"Let's see what treasures we can get first. If we don't get what we want, we will have to cooperate with them." This is what most people here think. Don't rush to cooperate, find out the situation of the lotus seeds first.

While Ming Jing and Bai Hui were chatting, the movements of the golden lotus in front of them became more and more obvious.

Until there was a distinct beeping sound——

A corner of a lotus petal was lifted up, and then the remaining petals unfolded one after another under the gaze of everyone.

"Ah!" A female cultivator exclaimed briefly and took a step back involuntarily.

Because of the lotus petals' powerful ability to isolate spiritual consciousness, unless it opens on its own, even Ming Jing and Bai Hui, who are sending spiritual energy to cultivate it, have no way of knowing what is inside.

Now, although they did not express it as obviously as the woman, surprise clearly appeared on their faces.

A fair and tender baby was lying in the golden lotus. It (let's call it that) yawned and its clear eyes first turned to the two tall male cultivators closest to it.

"Yeah." It tried to speak, but a vague and meaningless sound came out of its mouth.

……

"We need to give them names, otherwise how can we distinguish them during the discussion?"

Ningshuang's initial shock quickly turned into curiosity and interest.

Perhaps because Rong Qing was the first to cultivate, the lotus seeds cultivated together with Ningshuang, Chizheng and Guanhan were the first to mature.

Three lotus seeds, which looked no different from human cubs, nestled obediently in the golden lotus.

The lotus seed cultivated by Zhizheng was the largest. Its watery eyes looked at the four "giants" in front of it curiously. Its body moved slightly, and the golden lotus carrying it swayed on the water.

Rong Qing raised her eyebrows. It was not easy to come up with a name.

"Jin Zha." She pointed at the cub that was the largest and the first to be bred.

"Muzha." Refers to the one cultivated with Guanhan.

"And..." Rong Qing hadn't finished her words.

"Shui Zha!" Ning Shuang answered quickly.

“…Nezha.”

What? Ning Shuang's mouth drooped. It's not following the rules at all.

"But I don't recommend naming them." Rong Qing looked at the three lotus seeds that were curiously exploring the world: "Although they are living creatures, they are still lotus seeds, not human beings."

It's not...the child we gave birth to.

"It is indeed not human." Chizheng lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice.

These three children are extremely similar to humans, but they have no reproductive organs, which means they don't even have gender.

The three cubs seemed to know very well who their "parents" were. They rolled over on the golden lotus, trying to get closer to their "parents".

The cub, who was teasingly called Jinzha by Rong Qing, tried to get closer to Zhizheng while looking at him eagerly, seeming to feel very aggrieved: why didn't Zhizheng want to get close to it.

Guan Han and Mu Zha looked at each other, but did not express their opinions immediately. After watching for a while, he said, "Have they become much bigger again?"
