PNB Chapter 196 Sealing the Blood Lotus
Chapter 196 Sealing the Blood Lotus
After the water was introduced into the pool, not only was a formation engraved on the bamboo tube channel to prevent backflow, but the bamboo tube channel was also improved and raised by 50 centimeters.
In this way, only on the fifteenth of every month, when the water level in Lingtan rises, will the water from Lingtan flow through the pipe to add some water to the lotus pond.
Bai Fuling took the medicine cauldron out of the storage bag and placed it next to the newly built pond.
"Xiao Jin, spit the blood lotus into this pond now. You have to be careful, don't spit the blood lotus out of the pond." The blood lotus is a huge source of pollution, Bai Fuling did not dare to be careless, so she stroked the golden bamboo fish's head to comfort it, while instructing it very seriously to do things.
She didn't want the cave to be polluted because of a small mistake made by the golden bamboo fish, as that would be more harm than good.
The golden bamboo fish has been tortured by the blood lotus these days. It has not eaten for several days and has lost a lot of weight.
Although there was a lot of food in its pouch, it hadn't dared to open its mouth since it burped that day and burned the hair on the Snow Rat's head. Naturally, it didn't dare to eat anymore.
Now that it heard its master say that it could throw the blood lotus away, it was extremely happy.
Especially since the owner was touching its head gently, if it hadn't dared to open its mouth, it would have definitely cried out in comfort.
The golden bamboo fish happily swam around in the medicine cauldron for a few circles, wagging its tail, before spitting the blood lotus into the pond.
After the blood lotus fell into the pond, it quickly grew black roots at the bottom of the pond. In less than a minute, the black roots covered the entire bottom of the pond.
The black roots tried to drill into the ground, but were blocked by the formation runes at the bottom of the pool.
Five minutes later, the roots at the bottom of the pool finally calmed down. Perhaps they realized that it was impossible for them to go deep into the water.
After a while, wisps of black gas emerged from the blood lotus. As the black gas increased, the runes of the formation sealing around the pool also lit up. A transparent light curtain barrier enveloped the pool like a cover, locking the black gas firmly in the pool.
A few minutes later, the color of the blood lotus changed, from purple to red, pink, pink-white, white, and finally to gold.
"This is actually a golden lotus!" Bai Fuling was shocked. She even saw the golden light of merit flashing on the golden lotus.
This golden light gave people a sense of inner peace. Bai Fuling instantly felt that her soul was cleansed, and she even had a breakthrough in her realm.
In just a short while, she advanced from drawing Qi into the body to the first level of Qi Refining.
This feeling is indescribably wonderful, and I want to carry it with me all the time.
With such a treasure that helps in cultivation on her body, her cultivation will surely improve by leaps and bounds!
Bai Fuling was so excited that she wanted to reach out and grab the lotus away immediately.
But at the same time, she felt incredible.
Is the water from Lingtan really that effective?
In just a short while, the blood lotus transformed back to its original appearance?
If that's the case, would it be necessary to go through so much trouble to build an isolation pool and formation?
If she didn't have the pharmacist's eyes now, she would have thought she was seeing things. Bai Fuling rubbed her eyes uncertainly.
But who would have thought that when she looked again, the blood lotus in the pond was still the blood lotus, bubbling with black gas, and there was no golden lotus!
What’s even more terrifying is that her hand was hovering over the stem of the blood lotus.
She almost pulled the lotus away just now?
Bai Fuling was so scared that she broke into a cold sweat and quickly withdrew her hand. When she turned around, she saw Qinghe looking at her with a scrutinizing expression, feeling extremely guilty.
"What happened just now? I clearly saw it turn into a golden lotus." Bai Fuling felt that Qinghe must know what happened. She had to find out what was going on. She didn't want to be confused and be fooled by others again.
"That's right! It did transform into a golden lotus just now, tempting you to pull it up. It's just a little trick." Qinghe didn't take this cheap trick seriously at all. The reason why he didn't take action just now was that he wanted to see what Bai Fuling would do.
Fortunately, she was still a little alert and finally came to her senses.
"But don't I have the Eyes of Pharmacist? How could I be deceived by such a simple illusion?" Everything that happened just now made Bai Fuling extremely uneasy.
"The Golden Lotus is exactly as it was at the beginning. How can it be an illusion?"
"But..." Bai Fuling pointed at the blood lotus in the pond and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"This is originally a golden lotus. It has not been completely contaminated and still retains a part of its original appearance." If they had not arrived in time that day, this golden lotus would have completely turned into a blood lotus.
But with this pond, this blood lotus will one day be cleansed and return to its original appearance.
Qinghe looked at the blood lotus in the pond, his thoughts drifting away for a moment, and he thought about some of his own affairs.
Bai Fuling didn't say anything, her mind was a little confused for a moment.
She was a little confused. Since the golden lotus was in its original form, shouldn't it be clean and beautiful? Why did she still tempted herself to pull it out?
Qinghe thought a lot, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Bai Fuling still looked confused, so he continued to explain it to her.
"There is still a trace of soul in this blood lotus, so it has human thoughts. It is smarter than you think. It knows that it cannot deceive your pharmacist's eyes, so it briefly reveals its true appearance to you and then takes the opportunity to seduce you."
After hearing this, Bai Fuling understood.
It seems that this guy knows that his pharmacist's eyes are not easy to deceive, so he lets her see it with her own eyes, and then uses some inferior seduction methods to seduce her.
This trick is really good! Bai Fuling admires it sincerely.
"You said there is a soul in this blood lotus, so whose soul is it?" Bai Fuling was very shocked by this. Not only was she shocked, she also found it scary.
She really knew too little about this world and almost got into trouble today.
Logically speaking, not everyone's soul can reside in a blood lotus like this.
"I'm not sure about the details, but it should be the original owner of this golden lotus. He's most likely a monk." This golden lotus is the embodiment of merit. If there is a wisp of soul preserved in the golden lotus, then it must be someone who can materialize him, but Qinghe doesn't know who it is.
Bai Fuling nodded silently and accepted this reality. It seemed that the soul in the blood lotus was also contaminated.
Blood Lotus failed to seduce Bai Fuling, so he started trying new methods.
The flower bud suddenly grew larger, and then turned into a bloody mouth, and started biting the outside of the pond.
Apparently it still hasn't given up struggling. It's like a child who wants to escape, making various attempts energetically.
"Do we need to add a few more formations?" Bai Fuling was afraid that the blood lotus would continue to make trouble and the newly built pond would be scrapped.
"No need!" Qinghe was very confident in the formation he was guiding.
Although there is no need to add more formations on the pool, it is necessary to set up a barrier outside the pool.
As a result, it is urgent to solve the pollution problem of golden bamboo fish.
Although it could slowly remove the pollutants from its body by soaking in the Lingtan water, it was too slow and Qinghe could not wait that long.
Qing He took the mummy out of the storage bag, threw it next to the medicine cauldron, and said to Bai Fuling, "Transfer the contaminants from the golden bamboo fish to this mummy."
The mummy that Qinghe took out was the corpse in the goddess statue, and also the corpse of the wronged soul.
Bai Fuling would naturally be happy if the pollutants in the golden bamboo fish could be solved quickly.
However, she could see that this mummy was also a source of pollution, and its degree of pollution was no less than that of the blood lotus, or even worse.
The reason why this corpse did not leak pollution was mainly because of the years of suppression by the goddess statue on the outside.
After all, the statue of the goddess was made from the golden bodies of more than a hundred enlightened monks.
But now the statue of the goddess has been stripped away. If pollutants are transferred to her body again, will it disrupt the balance and cause the source of pollution in her body to burst out all at once?
Especially since the wronged spirit had been unusually violent these past few days, Bai Fuling didn't dare to gamble.
"Wouldn't this be a bad idea?" Bai Fuling spoke out all her concerns.
Qinghe listened to every word, rarely interrupting.
"You've made progress. Not only can you observe, but you can think as well. But it's okay as long as I'm here." Qinghe was very happy that Bai Fuling was no longer as reckless as before.
With Qinghe's assurance, Bai Fuling felt a lot more at ease.
I have to say, Qinghe is still quite reliable in her heart.
Bai Fuling walked to the medicine cauldron, followed Qinghe's instructions, pinched the hand seals, activated her spiritual power, used magic to grab the pollutants, and then introduced them into the dried corpse.
There were new contaminants on the mummy's body. It suddenly jumped up, and a green light came out of its empty eye sockets.
Fortunately, Bai Fuling was prepared and immediately drew a soul-locking talisman and a body-fixing talisman in the air and attached them to the mummy.
This soul-locking talisman would lock the spiritual power of ordinary monks. I didn't expect that it could also lock the pollutants in this mummy.
It was the first time that Bai Fuling knew that the Soul Locking Talisman had such a magical effect. When she saw that she had really trapped the mummy with the locking talisman, she was a little excited for a moment.
"Why are you daydreaming at this time? Hurry up and draw the array and carve the runes!" Qing He said in an unhappy tone. He had just praised Bai Fuling for her progress, and this girl started to be unreliable again.
How much power can the talisman paper have? At most it can trap the mummy for a while. It mainly depends on the formation and talismans. Who knew that this girl would fail at the critical moment, not drawing the formation and engraving the talismans, and was actually distracted!
Qing He wanted to slap her. She really thought this was just a game!
