The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 908: It’s Time to Cultivate the Lotus Seeds!

Yan Hu’s eyes flickered slightly, and ripples began to form in his otherwise calm heart. He said, "He’s missing a hand; what kind of hand techniques can he practice? Once I get used to it, you can practice with me." Shang Jue’s smile deepened as she nodded, "Alright." She intended to help Yan Hu grow rapidly. The Immortal World had already collapsed completely. Once the Demon Ruin was opened, the Demon Clan would have no rivals left!

After Qing Feng arrived at Penglai Island, he found it eerily silent, with only corpses and no living souls. He was stunned for a moment before using the Telestone. To his surprise, Siheng on the other end expressed astonishment: "Why did you go there? We’re almost back to Jialan Celestial Mountain." Qing Feng nearly spat out blood. His chest ached, likely due to worsening injuries, and he said, "Your Majesty, how about... how about you come and pick me up?" As soon as he finished speaking, the Telestone’s transmission cut off, leaving it dark. Qing Feng felt heartbroken for a while before returning to Jialan Celestial Mountain with red eyes. By the time he got back, the sun had already set in the west.

Because Siheng had returned to Jialan, he infused a thread of spiritual energy into the Heavenly Spring on the mountaintop, causing the entire mountain to emit a brilliant radiance. It truly resembled a fairyland. Since the Great Protector had come for the Glassy Bottle, although there had been fierce battles along the way, he hadn’t searched the entire mountain. Many disciples who had hidden managed to escape the disaster. Most of these people had been recruited by Qingwu. Among them, the newly promoted Fourth Elder was unscathed.

On the Joy Spring Platform, the Fourth Elder knelt down to Siheng, "Celestial Sovereign! I’ve finally waited for your return!" Siheng glanced at him with a neutral expression. The Fourth Elder quickly explained, "Although I was promoted by Qingwu, my heart has always been with the Celestial Sovereign! Just now, many disciples wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal things, but I stopped them all." Siheng clearly didn’t remember this person and frowned slightly. Qiao Nanyi introduced him, "His name is Huang Kai. He used to be an outer disciple." He had returned first and had already instructed the uninjured disciples to quickly tidy up. The mountain was free of corpses now. Most of these disciples had been recruited by Qingwu, but they were useful now.

Huang Kai quickly said, "Celestial Sovereign! Lady! I only pretended to go along with Qingwu before. My loyalty is only to the Celestial Sovereign!" Nanli smiled and asked, "Really?" "Really!" Huang Kai replied, "I swear by the heavens!" Nanli raised her eyebrows and feigned a sigh, "Qingwu has had a great fortune and has already ascended to immortality. He will soon return to Jialan Celestial Mountain. Since you are so loyal, you must be the first to charge forward when he comes." Huang Kai’s face froze. He had thought that with Siheng’s return, even if Qingwu hadn’t died, he wouldn’t dare to show up again. But now, Qingwu had ascended to immortality?!

Seeing a hint of worry on Siheng’s face, Huang Kai immediately realized that Siheng would definitely not be a match for Qingwu! How could this be?! He had bet on the wrong side! Nanli blinked innocently and asked sincerely, "What? You don’t want to?" Huang Kai forced a smile, "H-How could I? If Qingwu attacks, I will be the first to charge!" Nanli nodded in satisfaction, "Then it’s up to you all to hold the front lines. We need to heal our injuries now so that we can fight Qingwu later." "Yes... yes!" Huang Kai’s face was already ugly.

The two of them left first. Huang Kai still held a glimmer of hope and asked Qiao Nanyi, "Brother Qiao, is what the lady said true?" Qiao Nanyi knew what Nanli was up to and continued, "Yes. You’ve been in Jialan for quite some time. You should know Qingwu’s methods, right? The Venerable Master has just returned, and his strength can’t be compared to what it used to be. It seems we have to rely on our loyal subordinates." Huang Kai’s face turned even worse. He swallowed hard and had no choice but to agree with a few words.

The Joy Spring Platform was filled with traces left by Qingwu. Siheng felt distressed just looking at it. He proposed returning to the Mu Nation. Nanli also wanted to go back, but...

She took out a small bag from her Qiankun Bag and poured out the contents—nine lotus seeds. Siheng glanced at them and remembered the important matter: "I almost forgot. You still need to cultivate these Primordial Lotus Seeds." Since Zhi Mi and the other ghosts had been with Nanli on her cultivation adventures, they hadn’t had a chance to come out and stretch their legs. She rarely poured out the lotus seeds, and they all rushed out excitedly. Zhi Mi was particularly emotional: "Senior Sister!" Nanli was also delighted and grinned, "You guys must have been cooped up for so long, right?"

It was almost night, and since they were imbued with the divine energy of the lotus seeds, they could stay outside for a while longer. Zhi Mi shook his head with tears in his eyes, but his head was a bit unstable and almost fell to the ground. He quickly supported it and said, "No, I’ve been resting inside the lotus seed, and I’ve been diligently practicing talismans and formations." The other Zhis looked embarrassed and didn’t dare to speak because they hadn’t been as diligent; they had mostly been sleeping inside.

Nanli was relieved to see their strong soul energy and said with a serious expression, "Don’t worry. Now that I’m at Jialan Celestial Mountain, I’ll start collecting dew to cultivate the lotus seeds from tomorrow." Zhi Mi couldn’t wait to ask, "How long will it take to cultivate them?" Nanli had some memories from her previous life and had already gained a decent understanding of this.

She said, "Since they are from ancient times, once cultivated, they will become divine. It will take at least ten to eight years. But since you are in a divine place with spiritual energy nourishment, you can each rely on your own abilities to shorten the time to form." The nine Zhis listened attentively and were full of energy. This was the future their master had sacrificed himself to secure for them, and they must not let him down!

At that moment, Siheng coughed lightly. He stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice, "A’Li, the dew from Jialan Celestial Mountain used to be able to cultivate lotus seeds, but now that the Spirit Tree has withered, there is no more spiritual energy to nourish them.

To cultivate the lotus seeds, we might have to find another divine place." Nanli was stunned. How could she have forgotten about this? The Zhis only then noticed Siheng. They were first surprised by his transformation, and then their hearts sank upon hearing the unfavorable situation. More importantly, Nanli touched her chin and looked troubled, "This is troublesome. I’ve already used the Glassy Bottle... The Nine States’ land has long been devoid of spiritual energy.

To find another place with spiritual energy might be harder than ascending to heaven." The nine Zhis looked at each other. Although they were saddened, they didn’t want to burden Nanli with their worries. Zhi Mi smiled and said, "Senior Sister, it’s okay. We can wait." Nanli shook her head gently, "Once the soul enters the lotus, we can’t delay for too long." She had to think of a solution quickly. But then, Nanli’s Telestone vibrated. frёeωebɳovel.com

After she answered, Cinian’s rather embarrassed voice came through: "Master Nanli, how is the situation on your end?" "Not bad, not good either," Nanli replied, "Why haven’t you come to Jialan Celestial Mountain?" Cinian coughed and finally revealed the truth, "We few can still fly by sword, but Shandu and the others won’t be able to recover their spiritual energy in a few days. Plus, Master Yun hasn’t woken up yet. So... so we have to trouble you to come and pick us up."
