The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 127 Planting Lotus
The rain was still pouring down.

After Ding Lin left, the five fairies came out of the hut.

At the original place, the remaining evil spirit of Ding Lin transformed into a red light, and gradually, a hint of green walked into it. The five fairies stood in front of the fallen boulder, looking at the small lake. The noise of Ding Lin entering the water had completely subsided, but the lake surface was still not calm. Small raindrops fell, rippling silently, creating ripples, like the end of that violent fluctuation.

The fifth fairy had a sad look in her eyes. She stood there for a while, not knowing what she was thinking. She wandered aimlessly outside the house for a while, and then returned to the house.

……

In the lake.

The moment he entered the water, Ding Lin turned back into a fish. The cold water wrapped around his body. Perhaps it was the effect of the cold water. When he dived to the bottom of the lake, although his heart was still hot, the impulse in his mind had at least eased. Ding Lin did not take action immediately. He closed his eyes and recalled and sorted out his thoughts. He pondered for a moment to make sure there were no major omissions. Then, he opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of demonic energy, and the broken leaf of the Precious Lotus Lantern obtained from Yang Chan appeared before his eyes.

Ding Lin looked at the leaf with his eyes flashing.

The next moment, the golden elixir in Ding Lin's lower dantian moved upward and moved towards the tanzhong.

After the achievement of the primordial spirit, the three dantians were connected into one. The golden elixir no longer had to stay in the lower dantian. It could be placed in any of the three dantians. After the lower dantian was emptied, Ding Lin used his demonic energy to guide the broken leaf into the lower dantian.

Although the three dantians are connected and no longer differentiated from each other, the earth is below after all, and the earth soul wanders in the earth veins, so it is naturally more appropriate to place it in the lower dantian.

The short sentence on the brocade left by the five fairies said that before catching the earth soul, it is best to plant a spiritual object in the dantian. It cannot be considered a secret method, but only a small skill of cultivation. The earth soul is free in the earth veins, just like a fish in the water. To take it into one's body, the first step is to catch it from the water. It is very important to have bait on the hook.

If Ding Lin pulled and pulled hard as he had done before, it would be like Taigong fishing. It's not that the fish cannot be caught with an empty hook, but the hope is really slim.

Planting spiritual objects in the body first is equivalent to hanging bait on a hook. The innate qi in the dantian will escape, which is a great temptation to the earth soul. The moment of contact, it will be attracted by the breath. The purer and richer the innate qi is, the greater the temptation will be. After having this kind of temptation, the earth soul will often lose its sensitivity. Even if it still wants to escape, it will inevitably be delayed. By the time it realizes and wants to leave, it is often too late.

Ding Lin adjusted his breathing and looked inward. The remaining leaf in his lower dantian was floating quietly. Most of it was filled with yellow, with only some green and yellow showing through in some places closest to the center of the leaf veins. He pondered for a while and then, with ruthlessness, cut off all the yellow leaves with his demonic aura like a knife. Even if it was for grafting in the mortal world, the excess branches and leaves would be removed first. What's more, for such a spiritual object of heaven and earth, without the protection of the leaf veins, these scattered broken leaves would immediately turn into pure spiritual energy.

The innate meaning fills the dantian.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ding Lin quickly used his evil spirit to pull down the only remaining bit of yellow petiole and attached it to the inner membrane of Dantian. As expected, it was a spiritual object of heaven and earth. With the nourishment of the innate spiritual energy emitted by the yellow leaves before, the petiole actually grew roots and took root in Dantian.

A burst of severe pain.

Ding Lin gritted his teeth, he knew that this was the most critical moment. The demonic energy around his body flowed crazily and was poured into his dantian, continuously pouring into the petiole. In fact, although the demonic energy poured by Ding Lin seemed majestic, it was only a drop in the bucket in front of this spiritual creature of heaven and earth. The only way this piece of broken leaf could barely hang on his dantian was thanks to the spiritual energy from the yellow leaves that had been trimmed off before.

As for Ding Lin's action of infusing demonic energy, it was more to add his own aura to this spiritual plant.

……

Just at the moment when the lotus leaf took root in Ding Lin's dantian.

"Gululu!"

The water in the small lake was boiling again, and countless tiny bubbles rose from the bottom of the water. This strange phenomenon was insignificant compared to the earthquake a few days ago. The green snake and the white snake did not understand and just thought that Ding Lin had failed in his attempt to capture the earth soul again.

The five fairies stood in front of the window and watched, but suspicion slowly flashed in their eyes.

This is……

Although the five fairies' realm was not high, their vision was very accurate. Moreover, Ding Lin had just finished looking at Yunjin, so it was not difficult for her to think that Ding Lin had successfully planted the spiritual object in his body.

When spiritual things grow, there will naturally be strange phenomena. But when planted in the Dantian of Qi Sea, the demon body is a world of its own, isolated from the outside world. Strange phenomena often only appear in the Dantian, but now it has spread to the outside world. Although it is inconspicuous, it also represents another meaning.

It should be noted that innate things also have different levels.

The lower class, originally acquired, by chance got a hint of innate energy and thus transformed. Although they are called innate, they are after all insufficient in essence and weak in foundation. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call them pseudo-innate. This kind of innate is the mainstream in the world. Even the many immortals and gods who have already achieved enlightenment in the heavenly palace mostly rely on this when they are in the Yuanshen realm. Although it will not hinder the future, it is difficult to gain any benefits.

Apart from this, there is another kind, which is created by heaven and earth. This is the real innate one, which can be encountered but not sought. Any cultivator who can place his soul in it, not to mention what will happen in the future, his foundation alone will be increased by three points compared to the same realm. Only when such a spiritual object takes root again can the physical body be unable to block the strange vision and affect the outside world.

Although the spiritual object planted by Ding Lin caused very few strange phenomena to the outside world, and perhaps it was just the remnant of a truly innate object, it still caused something after all. A wild monster in the mountains, who didn't even know the little trick of planting a spiritual object first and then entrusting the soul to it, yet possessed an innate spiritual object of this level.

Was there really a great opportunity, or was there a story in the past?

No matter which one it was, the five fairies couldn't help but be surprised.

……

The lake boiled for three days.

Three days later, when Ding Lin opened his eyes again, all the demonic energy in his body had been exhausted and his eyes were filled with fatigue.

Afterwards, Ding Lin spent another seven days recovering his demonic energy.

It was really because when he was infusing the demonic energy before, he was reckless and pushed it too far.

But no matter what, the preliminary work has finally been completed. The next step is to formally capture the earth soul.

Ding Lin spent another whole day adjusting his mindset.

At night, he swam to the surface of the lake and looked up. A bright moon was hanging high in the sky. He looked at it for a while, then turned his head to look at the shore. The cottage of the five fairies was very quiet, without any sound coming from it.

Ding Lin dived back into the water again.

When he closed his eyes again, all his thoughts and emotions calmed down.
