The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 141 Lotus Leaf
"Is this... a failure?"

A series of unexpected events happened so fast that it was hard to keep up. Outside Linggui Peak, a Zhengyi disciple opened his mouth, thinking that the result was unexpected.

"That Earth Spirit Pearl is an innate item. Although it is damaged..." Another disciple spoke up. He glanced at Wang Chang, and before he finished speaking, a trace of greed was revealed, "Uncle Master..."

"It's not over yet," Wang Chang said, "Stay here and finish it."

……

The distance of a hundred miles can be reached in a moment.

When Ding Lin realized that something unexpected had happened on Linggui Peak again, it had already arrived close.

The power of heaven was vast and overwhelming. In just a moment, Ao Shan's Yang Spirit was annihilated by the heavenly thunder. In an instant, his eyes fell on the place where Ao Shan fell, or more precisely, on the Earth Spirit Pearl that was still rolling in the dust.

This spiritual bead was originally of the lowest quality among innate things, but now after being tempered by heavenly thunder, its quality has been improved. Although it has been damaged, innate things can heal themselves. If you get it and nurture it for a while, perhaps the cracks can be healed and it can be used again.

Ding Lin has now transformed into a dragon and has made great progress in his cultivation. As long as he obtains this spiritual object, he will be able to place his soul in it and advance to the third step of the Yuanshen realm. Although the innate attributes of this bead are only nurtured by a wisp of innate energy, it is not as good as the broken leaves of the Precious Lotus Lantern, which are born innate, which makes things seem imperfect and a bit regrettable.

But there aren’t so many perfect things in the world. Some flaws are normal. Moreover, even so, it is a great opportunity. Innate things are not cabbages, and you can’t be picky.

Dante Lin stopped suddenly, and in the corner of his eye he saw the wolf-eagle moving away rapidly without even looking back.

On the other side, across the Linggui Peak, were the Zhengyi sect members. They were indifferent and seemed to be just watching.

Ding Lin thought about it for a moment, glanced at Wang Chang in a very subtle way, and made a choice in his heart.

Although it is said that wealth and honor can only be sought in danger, and one must fish in troubled waters, but these are all about taking risks. To be greedy under the nose of a true immortal is not taking risks but seeking death. Although innate things are good, they are not as precious as life. His lifespan was already long, and now that he has turned into a dragon, it has increased again. There will be plenty of time to look for it in the future. Now that the original goal has been achieved, which is the best result expected, there is no need to put himself in danger because of greed. Sometimes, only by knowing how to restrain yourself can you achieve long-term success.

Ding Lin moved, and when he thought of this, he decided to retreat.

……

"This monster really knows how to handle current affairs." On the other hand, a Zhengyi disciple said. He secretly thought that Wang Chang was using this monster to teach them how to advance and retreat and make choices. "This saves us a lot of effort. This monster is not greedy and will not hinder us. We don't need to take his monster pill now."

The disciple was about to step forward to take the Earth Spirit Pearl. There were twelve people in total, including his fellow disciples and himself, but there was only one Earth Spirit Pearl. Although they were from the same sect, they were also competitors. Naturally, he had to strike first to gain the upper hand.

"Keep watching."

Wang Chang gave him a cold glance and didn't explain, just stopped him.

"Yes."

The disciple suddenly froze in place.

……

Suddenly, an inexplicable chill rose from my heart.

Ding Lin was startled, and subconsciously dodged to the side without thinking, and immediately looked in the direction of Wang Chang. Anyone in his position would have the same thought, but Wang Chang and all the Zhengyi disciples looked at him coldly, but no one made a move. Some disciples couldn't hide their surprise, and they looked at him and...

On the peak?

Ding Lin turned his head and saw that on the Linggui Peak, the broken Earth Spirit Pearl that had just disappeared from his sight rose up, surrounded by surging demonic energy. Indistinctly, he could see an almost unreal, skinny face. It was Ao Shan. He actually still had a little bit of soul left that had not dissipated. He was hiding in the Earth Spirit Pearl, accumulating the final blow!
"die!"

It is not known whether it was Ao Shan's residual soul carrying the Earth Spirit Pearl, or the Earth Spirit Pearl carrying Ao Shan's residual soul. On Ao Shan's illusory face, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost the ability to think, with only obsession left. The Earth Spirit Pearl pounced on him at an extremely fast speed, and was in front of him in an instant. Ao Shan's original form was Ba Xia, shaped like a turtle. He should not have been good at speed, but he finally survived the thunder tribulation. Although only a residual soul was left, there had been essential changes. This attack had exceeded the scope that the Yuanshen realm could withstand, and it carried some kind of mysterious rules. It could not be avoided, and could only be resisted.

Ding Lin's expression became more solemn than ever before. He gritted his teeth, slapped the top of his head, and the divine seal appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. He then hurriedly mobilized the demonic energy and hastily poured it into the divine seal.

An illusory golden light lit up.

The divine seal suddenly became as big as a house and blocked Ding Lin like a shield.

"Ping!"

The next moment, the sound of metal clashing was heard.

"puff!"

Ding Lin vomited blood and his body was thrown dozens of miles away, leaving behind a cloud of dust. His breath weakened rapidly and he almost couldn't maintain his soul. The golden seal also flew out with him. Just one collision, and the golden seal was covered with spider-web-like cracks starting from the base, as if it would shatter in the next moment.

"No!"

After this collision, Ao Shan's residual soul could no longer hold on. His primordial spirit had been completely destroyed by the thunder tribulation. This one was entirely supported by obsession, and it could not last long. In this blow, he poured out all his strength. After a period of weak shaking, he let out an unwilling anger. His rationality seemed to have returned a little, and he was infinitely attached, but the next moment, it exploded with a bang, like fireworks blooming, shattered into the purest aura, and disappeared into the world.

"Gululu!" The Earth Spirit Pearl rolled on the ground. Its aura weakened a lot and the cracks on the surface increased. However, the main force of the collision just now was Ao Shan's residual soul and Ding Lin's divine seal. The Earth Spirit Pearl managed to maintain its shape. Although it was becoming more and more damaged, it was not destroyed.

brush!
Ding Lin flew up, not caring about the serious injuries on his body, and forced himself to mobilize the demonic energy. His face turned pale again, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. A strand of demonic energy separated from him, rolled up the divine seal, and then fled.

The Earth Spirit Pearl was right in front of him, but Ding Lin didn't even look at it, nor did he dare to take it.

Ding Lin could see that it was not that the Zhengyi group was not willing to take action or covet the spirit pearl, but that Wang Chang had seen something strange in the Earth Spirit Pearl and asked him to help clear the mines first. Now that the hidden danger had been removed, it would be fine if he knew what was good for him. If not, I'm afraid those Zhengyi disciples would not mind killing him like they did before with the Yuanshen demon that accidentally bumped into their plan.

Ding Lin was somewhat thankful in his heart that he did not become greedy at the beginning. If he had completely leaned towards the Earth Spirit Pearl from the beginning, he would not even have the speed to react when Ao Shan's remnant soul suddenly attacked. Facing this blow that surpassed his primordial spirit, he could only close his eyes and wait for death.

The escaping light went straight towards Shechan Peak at a very fast speed, but it was slightly shaky and unstable, and blood dripped from the air from time to time.

……

"Master...Uncle..."

The Zhengyi disciple who had just spoken turned pale and was filled with fear.

"Things in this world are unpredictable. Remember, never make a conclusion easily until the last moment."

Wang Chang glanced at the disciple coldly, then swept his eyes towards the rest of the people and spoke. Then he waved his whisk and a ray of golden light attracted him. The next moment, the Earth Spirit Pearl flew up. He spread out his palm and the pearl naturally fell into his hand.

"What doesn't belong to you doesn't belong to you. If you are greedy, you may end up killing others." Wang Chang said again. He glanced in the direction where Ding Lin left and held the Earth Spirit Pearl. "This Earth Spirit Pearl is 70% damaged. After returning to the mountain gate, I will use my magic power to nourish it and then put it in the sect's secret vault. When you have cultivated to that level in the future, whoever it is will naturally have his or her original law."

"Go back to the mountain."

Wang Changdao waved his whisk, and white clouds rose from under his feet, carrying the twelve souls behind him back to the gate of Zhengyi Mountain.

There were only floating white clouds and a messy place left.

His ascension to immortality failed and his soul was extinguished. From then on, the name of Ao Shan was no longer mentioned in the Qingcheng Mountains.

……

On the Snake Peak, although there was no one in charge, the formation was still open. This was an arrangement Ding Lin had deliberately made when he left in order to prevent other monsters from taking advantage of the opportunity to occupy the spiritual peak.

Ding Lin held on, and when the light reached the top of Shechan Peak, he could no longer hold on. Everything in front of his eyes went black. He barely managed to open a hole in the formation, and his body fell down like a dumpling, and the formation closed again.

"Pfft!"

On the small lake at the top of the mountain, a high ripple splashed on the water surface. The lake water splashed on Ding Lin's face, and his already blurred mind recovered a little. He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. In the small lake, streams of bright red water rolled up from the bottom of the water and spread on the water surface. In the end, even golden threads began to be mixed in it. It was because Ding Lin was seriously injured and could hardly control the loss of his physical essence.

It was the huge rock at the bottom of the lake where he practiced every day. Ding Lin managed to climb up with difficulty. He gripped the rock wall with his fingers until his knuckles turned white. He finally managed to hold on. Then he took a deep breath and managed to calm his will. There was a flash of spiritual light on his hand. It was too late to distinguish the healing pills he got from Yang Chan and the five fairies. He swallowed them all in one gulp.

"call!"

Ding Lin breathed a sigh of relief. It was really dangerous just now. If he had taken a wrong step, he would never be able to come back. But fortunately, Ao Shan's soul was destroyed, and the grudge was settled. From now on, after his injuries were healed, he could temporarily settle down in Qingcheng Mountain.

After the elixir entered his stomach, his injuries stabilized, and at least the essence of his physical body no longer leaked out.

Ding Lin was just about to refine the medicinal power to further heal his wounds, when at this moment, a hot current suddenly came from his lower dantian, which digested all the pills that had entered his stomach in one go. Then it circulated in his lower dantian for a moment, and turned into the purest spiritual energy, spreading into his limbs and bones.

In the lower Dantian, the remaining leaves of the Precious Lotus Lantern that had already taken root were gently trembling with their thin leaves, and as the spiritual energy was injected into the meridians of the body, the injury was healed by 10% in an instant.

Ding Lin's soul was placed in the remaining leaves of the Precious Lotus Lantern, which was also trembling slightly at this moment, as if transmitting some thoughts to the outside. He was stunned, and the next moment a look of half-belief and half-doubt appeared on his face. After hesitating for a while, Ding Lin still took out a demon pill from his body, a demon pill of the Dan realm. He swallowed the demon pill into his stomach, and immediately the scene just now was repeated. The demon pill only stayed in the stomach for a moment before being digested. After a slight tremor, it was purified by the remaining leaves of the Precious Lotus Lantern and turned into a wisp of pure spiritual energy that spread into the body.

A look of joy appeared on Ding Lin's face. Over the years, he had accumulated a lot of demon pills. If it were any other demon, they would have used these pills as nourishment for their cultivation to advance their practice. However, he had never used them.

It's not that Ding Lin has some mental obsession with cleanliness, but as early as the beginning of his practice, Yang Chan had reminded him that the purer the demonic energy is, the better, and it can even determine how far one can go in the future. The demon pill is the essence of the demon. Killing demons and taking the pills, and then refining them on one's own body can certainly increase the demonic energy quickly in the early stages, but no matter how one refines it, the marks of other demons' lifelong efforts can never be refined cleanly. In the end, the demonic energy will become more and more complex. There will be no effect in the early stages, but clues can be seen when one is in the primordial spirit, and then it will explode when one ascends to heaven. Because the demonic energy is too complex, it will be difficult to cleanse the physical body, and it will even increase the intensity of the heavenly thunder.

For the sake of his future, Ding Lin has been restraining himself and has never refined any exotic demon pills. However, out of diligence, he would not discard them after killing the monsters, but collected them carefully. Now, Ding Lin has hundreds of demon pills in the Dan realm in his hands, and he also seized quite a few demon pills in the Yuanshen realm, dozens of them, on his way to escape in the West Sea.

After the broken leaf of the Precious Lotus Lantern was planted in the Dantian and entrusted with the Earth Soul, it could actually have such an effect. But it was reasonable when you thought about it carefully. The Precious Lotus Lantern came from the Saint Nuwa, and it was a first-class innate thing in the world, with the ability to purify and heal injuries. Although there was only a broken leaf behind his Dantian, it came from the same source as the Precious Lotus Lantern after all. Not to mention purifying all things, purifying some mere elixirs in the mortal realm is of course a piece of cake.

After the experiment, Ding Lin was immediately pleasantly surprised. This time the injury was really worth it. In this way, doesn't it mean that as long as there is sufficient energy supply, he will not be injured as long as he does not die on the spot? He even had a vague idea in his mind that he didn't know if this broken leaf could only convert energy to help him heal his wounds. It would be even better if it could be converted on a daily basis to help with his practice.

The thought only flashed through my mind.

He was temporarily detained by Ding Lin. Now, his injury was so serious that the first priority was to recover.

After the test, Ding Lin found that the inner elixir that he took out was no longer of the Dan Realm. One by one, the inner elixirs of the Yuanshen Realm were swallowed and transformed by the lotus leaves. This process made him calm down a little. After all, the remaining leaves of the Precious Lotus Lantern planted in his lower Dantian had not fully grown yet, and their efficiency was limited. A demon elixir of the Dan Realm could be refined in an instant, but it would take several days to change it into one of the Yuanshen Realm.
