If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 204: Mr. Wang's Legacy
"Is this the center of the Lotus Realm?"

Xiaoyu looked around the water tank, but couldn't see anything strange.

The mouth of the water tank was only three feet wide. Inside were two half-dried lotus leaves and a bunch of dry lotus pods as big as a baby's fist.

Lotus flowers should be alive, but as autumn comes, they lose their green color and vitality.

At this time, it looks just like an ordinary lotus.

Even after activating the Heart Sea Technique and observing with the spiritual eye of the heart, he did not detect any unusual fluctuations in vital energy.

Mr. Wang looked reminiscing and said, "Thirty years ago, I learned how to sell goods and went out to do business.

On the way back, I met a monk and a Taoist priest. They were sitting on the hillside behind the dilapidated temple and drinking.

I went over to say hello to them and they treated me to roast chicken.

Roast chicken wrapped in a lotus leaf."

He pointed at the half-dried lotus leaf in the water tank and said, "Here, that's it! I brought the lotus leaf home and put it in the water tank. It came back to life and grew into a lotus plant the next year."

Xiaoyu was amazed but also felt very dissatisfied.

Old man Wang does more than just use the Spring and Autumn style of writing.

Too many key points are omitted.

"How do you activate the Lotus Dharma Realm? How do you control it? I'm not trying to pry into your family's secrets. I just can't see what's so special about the lotus in the jar."

"I don't know. Even the name 'Lotus Dharma Realm' was made up by me." Mr. Wang shook his head.

Xiao Yu showed her dissatisfaction directly on her face and said unhappily: "You have brought me here, what's the point of you hiding it?"

Mr. Wang said helplessly, "I really don't know! Those two immortals who played with the mortal world never asked to give me the lotus leaf, nor did they mention the lotus world.

When I found out they were gods, I was probably like you today, with an idea triggered in my mind, thinking that lotus leaves wrapped in roast chicken were a good thing.

I put it in my arms and planned to take it home.

On the way home, I discovered its extraordinaryness.

With it, I am immune to all evil along the way, and I can even see some ghosts and gods from the underworld, Shinto talismans and the like.

At first I didn't think of growing it in a water tank.

I enshrined it in my own small ancestral hall. You can probably imagine the result. My family members and clansmen looked at me with strange looks and attitudes.

I don't care about their looks, but I suddenly realized that although offering sacrifices can express respect, it is too conspicuous and too ostentatious, and is not a long-term solution.

So I hid it.

I didn't expect that when I took it out the next year, it was still green.

Then I had the idea to give it a try and see if it could be replanted.”

Xiaoyu felt that Old Man Wang was very sincere this time, at least he told most of the truth.

"What you call the blessing of gods and Buddhas is just picking up a lotus leaf. Can a lotus leaf protect your house?"

Mr. Wang said solemnly: "The lotus leaf is indeed magical, but it is only an appearance. Without the will of gods and Buddhas, it is just an ordinary lotus leaf and will rot that year.

If the gods and Buddhas have the intention to protect us, the lotus leaves picked up by the lake and the stones picked up by the roadside can become immortal treasures. "

Xiaoyu nodded slightly. It seemed that Old Man Wang had some inspiration to say such a thing.

"Do you know the names of those two immortals?"

Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "If I knew the name, would I still only offer lotus leaves?"

Xiaoyu suspected that he was not telling the truth.

We have met and are chatting, why don't you tell me your name and background?
You tell your name and the other party, out of courtesy, should give you a title no matter what.

"How do you know they are immortals?" she asked again.

"They have extraordinary conversation, are open-minded and unrestrained, and in the end they fly to the sky and leave on the clouds. If they are not gods, then what are they?" said Mr. Wang.

"Did you eat or drink the roast chicken and wine they ate?" Xiaoyu asked.

Mr. Wang shook his head regretfully, "They were very enthusiastic and treated me to food and drinks, but I had already eaten two sesame cakes and drank half a pot of water, so my stomach was full and I couldn't eat any more.

Moreover, the roast chicken was skinny and small, and looked like a roast quail. The wine bottle could be held in one hand, but the monk and the Taoist priest were both tall. I was worried that they would not have enough to eat, so I gave them the remaining sesame cakes in my bag to eat!"

Xiaoyu could see that the old man's face showed not only regret, but also deep remorse.

Obviously, he also found that he had missed the greatest opportunity to become an immortal.

"I have some immortal blessings, but no immortal fate~~~" he sighed.

It is a blessing to see an immortal and pick up a lotus leaf.

By drinking the wine and eating the roasted chicken, you may embark on the path to immortality and gain immortal fate.

"You are an honest man." Xiaoyu felt a little unfair for the old man.

Do honest people deserve to miss out on their chance to become immortals?
Wang Chushi saw her thoughts and said with emotion: "You should be a good person who accumulates virtue and does good deeds, so that you can have the blessing of seeing the immortals.

But chance is another matter, you have to grasp it yourself."

If he is not honest enough and is a cunning person, he will never be able to see the immortal.

As for roast chicken and wine
It could be a fairy item, or it could be just an ordinary thing. The key lies in whether he can have a "flavor of inspiration".

Just like after the immortal left, and then looked at the lotus leaves on the ground, the "inspiration" in his heart was finally triggered, although it was a little late, but it was not nothing after all.

Xiaoyu took Old Man Wang's words to heart and pondered them carefully, and felt that what he said really made sense.

At least in this world, it's a matter of experience.

"Since the lotus leaf is a fairy product, can I pull it out and take a look?"

"What's the difference between taking it out and looking at it like this? Go find Cui'er quickly!" Old man Wang waved his hand to send him away.

Xiao Yu didn't want to leave yet, so she asked again: "This lotus pod has withered, can you pick it and give it to me?"

Without saying a word, Old Man Wang immediately plucked off the withered lotus pod and handed it to her, saying, "Take it, and go!"

Xiaoyu didn't even need to take the lotus pod and observe it carefully. Just by looking at Old Man Wang's attitude, he knew that the "inspiration" was not in the lotus pod.

However, she still took the lotus pod and explained, "Do you know about the time I killed the evil god who pretended to be an angel at the gate of the government office?"

The corner of Wang Chushi's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "I don't care much about what's happening outside. Go quickly!"

——This old Wang has lost the honesty he had when he was young!
Xiao Yu cursed him for being slick in his heart, but said sincerely: "I was able to kill the evil god Ge Qing mainly because of the pure Yang sword energy."

She explained in easy-to-understand words how to purify the evil spirit of the soldiers and blood and give birth to a little yang energy. Then she said, "The reason why I am interested in the Lotus Dharma Realm is that its aura is a bit similar to the pure yang evil energy.

Of course, it is fairy spirit, not evil spirit. The only similarity is that bit of pure yang.

You saw it just now. I kept hitting it with my shoulders, but it couldn't do anything to me.

The first time I hit it, it sent me flying several feet away.

Later I slowly tried it out, and it was still able to bounce me away and attack me.

However, I was used to its force and did not break the tiles.

But when I used the Pure Yang Sword Energy to protect my shoulders, hehe, it couldn't push me away anymore.

My pure Yang sword energy offset the impact of the Dharma Realm."

Old Wang showed a look of doubt, "So, your Pure Yang Sword Qi is about the same level as the Pure Yang Immortal Qi of the Lotus Realm?"

Xiao Yu said honestly: "There is a big difference. Evil spirits are dead, and people are alive.

To purify the evil spirit, you don’t have to care about the means, just torture it to death.

It's like taking a dirty towel and placing it on the pebbles by the river, then beating it hard with a mallet to wash away the dirt.

You can't purify a person's soul by this means.

If you put a person on the pebbles and beat him, he will die in a few hits. How can he cultivate the pure yin soul, and how can a little pure yang be born from the pure yin?
In fact, my method of purifying evil spirits is rougher than washing a dirty towel, and more barbaric than a blacksmith refining black iron by hammering it.

Because the method is crude and simple, it is possible to cultivate pure Yang sword energy in a short period of time.

But this method does not work on my own soul.

Feeling the lotus realm of your home will help me further enhance my Pure Yang Sword Qi.

My pure yang sword energy is just a little pure yang born from pure yin.

Just a little bit really.

It's like a firefly appearing in the pitch-black night.

The immortal who sends you the lotus leaf realm should be a true pure yang immortal. The immortal power in the realm is completely pure yang, just like a big sun.

There is no doubt that if I can turn a little firefly in the dark night into a bright sun, my 'Pure Yang Sword Qi' will become even more powerful."

After a pause, Xiao Yu looked at the lotus leaves in the jar expectantly and said, "In addition, I also want to draw inferences from other cases and study the pure yang method of the soul or inner strength through the pure yang fairy energy."

Theoretically, the soul becomes purely yang, which is the state achieved after becoming an immortal.

Xiaoyu is still in the Inner Energy Realm and is thousands of miles away from becoming an immortal.

But she had neither the chance to cultivate immortality directly nor the willingness to follow the path of immortal martial arts to a dead end (human immortal), so naturally she did not care about the rules of any realm.

Just get started when you have inspiration.

When you reach the end of the road, turn back and start again.

Anyway, she is just a "casual cultivator" and she will never be able to become an immortal if she doesn't work hard.

"If the soul is pure yang, wouldn't that mean it will become a true immortal?" Mr. Wang was shocked and very skeptical.

“It’s definitely impossible to be pure Yang at once, but as long as it’s purified a little bit and has a bit of pure Yin properties, I’ll be very satisfied.

If I can gradually cultivate the 'Yin God' during the purification process, I will be on the path to becoming an 'immortal'.

Although the path to immortality is not in sight, at least one can vaguely see the high mountains in the distance.

Only when the Yin Spirit is fully developed, will the possibility of Yin and Yang being born, and a little pure Yang, be considered." Xiao Yu said.

"What if the soul purification goes wrong and there is no going back?"

Mr. Wang also understood.

She has no fate with immortality, nor a complete inheritance of immortality. She simply follows her feelings and does things blindly.

"Even after Ge Qing's soul was scattered, he was able to become a god again. There is no road of no return in this world." Xiao Yu said.

Mr. Wang nodded gently, "It is rare for you to have such great courage and perseverance.

In fact, failure is not terrible for you.

You are born with wisdom, and you have developed the Pure Yang Sword Energy. Now you are trying to cultivate the Yin Spirit.

The pure yang immortal has a clear true spirit.

Even if you have become a half-baked Yin Spirit, there is a high probability that your memory will be awakened when you enter reincarnation.

Not in this life, just be careful in the next life."

Xiaoyu blushed and said, "Old man, if you don't know how to speak, just don't say anything."

"Since you can understand, will you allow me to continue studying your Lotus Dharma Realm?"

Mr. Wang pondered and said, "I have a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"

——Now that you’ve said that, how can I not listen?
Xiaoyu said: "You say."

"When I am about to die, I will give you the Lotus Realm directly. You can come and carry the water tank away, or you can pluck out the lotus leaves, treat them as a big medicine, put them in your mouth and chew and swallow them directly. I estimate the effect will be very good." said Mr. Wang.

Xiao Yu was surprised and said, "You want to give it to me for free? But even if you die, you still have sons and grandsons!"

Mr. Wang sighed, "My two sons are just average people. They have never done anything bad and cannot be considered bad people, but they are also not very virtuous and cannot bear the blessings of the Lotus Dharma Realm.

I am also a mediocre person with no talent or virtue.

I am extremely grateful and humbled to have the immortal’s blessing and to have a peaceful family for the rest of my life.

If you still dare to dream of your descendants enjoying endless benefits, you are too greedy and it will bring disaster rather than blessing. "

Xiaoyu was a little flattered.

Old Man Wang believes that her virtue is enough to bring her the blessings of the “Lotus Realm”!
"You are so modest. Who among the neighbors wouldn't praise the Wang family's education?"

"Do you want it?" Mr. Wang looked at her and asked calmly.

"No need! I will be satisfied to be able to study the pure yang immortal energy in the Dharma Realm." Xiaoyu shook his head.

A smile flashed across Mr. Wang's eyes, and he said, "You don't have to refuse. I never thought of leaving the Lotus Realm to my two sons. If I hadn't met you, I would have burned the lotus leaves before I died."

Xiao Yu was shocked and said, "You are getting old and confused. You don't treat this treasure as a family heirloom, but you actually burned it?"

"I would be foolish if I left it to my son."
