Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms: Sunflower Lord

Beside the dry well in the northwest corner, the light shone like the sea.

Ji Ruchang sat cross-legged on the neatly folded black scales, her eyes closed, her breathing long and deep, completely immersed in cultivation and recovery.

He didn't notice—

The pure white sunflower seed in his arms was undergoing an astonishing transformation.

The newly acquired seed seemed to be awakened by some invisible force, and it trembled violently!

"Click..."

A very faint yet incredibly clear cracking sound came from the surface of the seed.

A tiny crack appeared on the white seed coat.

A tender green bud peeks out from the crevice.

The moment the bud touched the light from the outside world, it was like a long-awaited rain after a drought, frantically absorbing all the energy that permeated the surroundings!

It's not just about the light.

It's not just about spiritual energy.

There is another, more mysterious and purer power—the primordial power left in the air when the powerful monster that Ji Ruchang had just killed dissipated, power that had not yet completely dissipated!

The buds greedily devoured that power, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

One section, two inches, three inches...

The roots emerge from the bottom of the seed, like countless tiny tentacles, spreading wildly in all directions!

They probe into the soil, into the stone basin, into any place where they can take root.

Then--

They discovered Ji Ruchang.

The roots seemed to possess a spirit, and did not harm him.

They simply... gently intertwined.

One, two, ten, a hundred...

Countless roots, as thin as hair, surged in from all directions, slowly enveloping Ji Ruchang, who was sitting cross-legged, from head to toe!

The scene was both eerie and sacred.

Like a giant cocoon of roots, it gently embraces the cultivator in his practice.

The moment those roots touched Ji Ruchang's body, they resonated in a strange way with the thirty-six star apertures within him.

Strands of extremely pure energy flowed silently into his body along those roots.

That energy is purer than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth transformed from sunflowers, and gentler than the starlight scattered from ancient bronze mirrors.

As if they had been refined countless times, as soon as they entered the meridians, they naturally merged into the starlight true essence and became part of Ji Ruchang's cultivation.

Ji Ruchang was completely unaware of this.

He remained immersed in his cultivation, feeling that this round of recovery was exceptionally smooth and comfortable.

In the courtyard, five sunflowers stood quietly.

Now, a new sixth sunflower has appeared!

First plant: Second-tier Golden Sunflower (69/1000)

Second plant: Second-tier Golden Sunflower (0/1000)

Third plant: Second-tier Sunflower (75/1000)

Fourth plant: First-tier Golden Sunflower (0/100)

Fifth plant: Second-tier Golden Sunflower (2/1000)

Sixth plant: Second-tier Sunflower (366/1000)

The sunflower that had just sprouted from the seed took up the sixth spot.

It has grown to be more than a person tall, with a thick, jade-like stem, broad, fan-like leaves, and a huge, bucket-like flower head, radiating a milky-white light that is more intense and sacred than any other plant.

Its roots still entwine around Ji Ruchang, maintaining that wondrous connection with him.

With the support of this connection, Ji Ruchang's cultivation achieved unprecedented efficiency.

The Star Classic describes the Great Circulation of the Heavenly Cycle, operating at full capacity.

The thirty-six star apertures form a star map, like a miniature array, frantically absorbing all the energy around it.

It also helped Ji Ruchang refine her true essence and magical power!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth transformed from the five sunflowers was already extremely pure.

Now, after being "filtered" and "purified" by the roots of the Holy Sunflower, it has reached a level where it can be directly absorbed almost without refining.

Strands of energy surged into Ji Ruchang's body, circulating, compressing, and condensing within the thirty-six star apertures.

Those true essence threads, which had become dim and weak due to the fierce battle, visibly regained their strength. Bright and robust!

Within his dantian, seven spiritual threads coiled like dragons, radiating brilliant light.

The five spiritual threads at the Tanzhong and Baihui acupoints were equally solid.

Among the thirty-three acupoints scattered throughout the body, there are two spiritual threads, which are thicker than before.

All eighty-three spiritual threads have been restored to their peak condition.

But this is only the beginning.

The energy transmitted from those roots continues to flow endlessly.

Ji Ruchang's body continued to greedily absorb the nutrients.

After absorbing a large amount of energy, the eighty-three spiritual threads gradually reached saturation.

But they still didn't stop.

The excess energy began to accumulate, compress, and brew within the thirty-six star apertures.

finally--

"Buzz..."

A deep resonance came from Ji Ruchang's body.

All thirty-six acupoints trembled simultaneously!

Each of the eighty-three strands of spiritual energy released a trace of excess energy.

Those energies flowed and converged in the invisible connections between the star apertures, and finally all rushed into the middle dantian—the Tanzhong acupoint!

Within the Tanzhong acupoint, five spiritual threads spun wildly, like a vortex.

The incoming energy was drawn in, compressed, and condensed by the vortex...

Finally, it transformed into a brand new strand of true essence and magical power, radiating a faint five-colored halo!

The sixth one!

The Tanzhong acupoint, six spiritual threads!

But this is not over yet.

That energy continues to flow endlessly.

The thirty-six star acupoints trembled once more, and another round of energy converged, surging into the Tanzhong acupoint once more—

The seventh one!

The Tanzhong acupoint contains seven spiritual threads!

Ji Ruchang remained absorbed in her cultivation, completely unaware of what was happening.

But the changes within his body continued.

I don't know how much time passed.

Ji Ruchang finally awoke from his deep meditation.

He opened his eyes and tried to stand up—

Then he froze.

He can't move.

Its entire body is completely enveloped by countless roots as fine as hair!

Those roots were like a giant cocoon, binding him tightly from head to toe!

"this……"

Ji Ruchang was momentarily stunned.

Am I... kidnapped?

Tied up by his own sunflower?

He instinctively tried to struggle, but found that the roots were only gently entwining him and did not intend to bind him.

They even very "thoughtfully" slid down over his head, giving him room to move around.

With a little effort, Ji Ruchang smoothly squeezed out from the roots.

He stood up and looked back.

The newly sprouted sunflower stood quietly behind him.

It was much taller than before, with stems as thick as jade, leaves as wide as fans, and flower heads as large as buckets, radiating a rich and sacred milky white light.

And those roots are now slowly retracting, taking root again in the soil between the cracks in the stone slabs.

Ji Ruchang stared at it blankly, unsure of what to say.

Then, he looked inward at himself.

Dantian: Seven Spiritual Threads

Tanzhong point: Seven spiritual threads (two new ones added)

Baihui: Five Spiritual Silks

The other thirty-three acupoints: two of each

total--

Eighty-five strands of true essence and magical power!

Ji Ruchang was stunned.

This seclusion lasted only two hours.

His true essence threads increased from eighty-three to eighty-five.

The growth rate of that Sunflower plant skyrocketed from seed form to 366, and its Sun Essence reserves reached an astonishing 36.6 units.

"this……"

Ji Ruchang opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Finally, he simply gazed at the newly sprouted sunflower and murmured:

"This...is really impressive."

The newly sprouted sunflower swayed gently, as if responding to his praise.
