Chapter 60

Just then, the crystal lotus seeds emitted a faint lotus fragrance. The entire lotus seed was crystal clear, like crystal, and more amazingly, a faint lotus flower could be seen inside the seed, indicating that it was a fully ripe crystal lotus seed.

Even in ancient times, crystal lotus seeds were extremely rare medicinal herbs. Many top-grade elixirs required crystal lotus seeds as ingredients. Not only that, but crystal lotus seeds could be used for refining elixirs and could also be consumed directly. Each lotus seed contained at least ten years of pure essence.

Of course, in ancient times, no cultivator would directly consume the lotus seeds but would use them to refine elixirs. The most famous of these was the Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pill, which had miraculous effects. After consumption, it could refine and nourish the spirit, making it an extremely rare elixir that could affect the spirit.

More importantly, cultivating a Dharma Body required splitting the spirit. Although splitting the spirit through secret techniques would not harm the spirit, it would require a lot of effort to strengthen the spirit again after each split, thus limiting the speed and quantity of Dharma Body cultivation.

However, with the Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pill, this process could be significantly shortened, and its functions were far more than just this.

For Zhao Shuo at this stage, it was the most useful. Having just entered the Spirit Consolidation stage, he was in the phase of nourishing and refining his spirit. With the help of the Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pill, what might take others decades or even a lifetime would only take Zhao Shuo a few years, or even less.

If not for this, crystal lotus seeds would not have been so precious in ancient times, and Zhao Shuo would not have reacted so intensely upon seeing the pool of crystal lotus flowers.

Zhao Shuo laughed heartily in the water, and Bai Jianjia, standing nearby, could not help but say, "Zhao Shuo, what are you going crazy for? Even though crystal lotus seeds are precious, you don't have to act like this."

Zhao Shuo couldn't help but sneer. Short-sighted, this is short-sighted. Although many people in ancient times knew that crystal lotus seeds could be used to refine the Seven-Colored Crystal Lotus Pill, countless secrets had long been lost in the river of time, and some ancient sects deliberately kept them secret. Thus, many secrets of ancient times were no longer known.

Bai Jianjia only knew that crystal lotus seeds were precious but did not know their true value, which was why she could not understand Zhao Shuo's reaction.

The pond covered several miles, and there were no fewer than ten thousand crystal lotus flowers in it. Just thinking about how many crystal lotus seeds could be obtained made Zhao Shuo tremble with excitement.

"Ha ha ha, Zhou Tian Ruyi, collect!"

A purple light from the Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Tower enveloped the entire island. Bai Jianjia's face changed dramatically, and she exclaimed, "You... you are going to collect the entire island?"

Zhao Shuo replied, "Of course. I didn't expect the Jiu Hua Secret Realm to have such a heavenly treasure as crystal lotus seeds. If I don't collect the island, I will definitely regret it in the future."

Seeing that Zhao Shuo was determined to collect the island, Bai Jianjia flew up and said, "Fine, if you have the ability to collect it, go ahead."

Zhao Shuo chuckled and poured his full magical power into the tower. The island below slowly rose from the lake.

The rumbling sound was continuous, and huge waves surged, but with Zhao Shuo's persistence, the island gradually rose out of the water and flew into the air.

Swallowing a White Jade Spirit Fruit, Zhao Shuo's magical power surged throughout his body, and the purple light from the tower intensified. The island slowly entered the tower.

Pulling Bai Jianjia along, Zhao Shuo and she also entered the tower.

The Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Tower was a postnatal spiritual treasure, divided into nine layers, each a vast space.

With Zhao Shuo's current strength, he could barely open the first four layers. Now, Zhao Shuo and Bai Jianjia appeared in the fourth layer.

Although the space was vast, it was empty. The large island was now floating in the air.

Zhao Shuo couldn't help but say, "It seems we need to properly arrange this space to make the crystal lotus flowers continue to grow."

He then said to Bai Jianjia, "Bai Jianjia, wait a moment, watch me perform a technique!"

Zhao Shuo's figure disappeared. When he reappeared outside, he looked at the large lake below, took out another White Jade Spirit Fruit, and swallowed it. With his full magical power, the Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Tower once again displayed its miraculous power.

A water dragon connected the tower to the lake below, and the lake water was continuously drawn into the tower.

After a full day, Zhao Shuo exhausted the last spirit fruit, and the lake level dropped by more than ten meters, with an unknown amount of lake water drawn into the tower.

Flashing into the tower, Zhao Shuo saw a vast expanse of water before him, with lake water everywhere.

Seeing Zhao Shuo appear, Bai Jianjia said, "You didn't drain the lake, did you?"

While controlling the island to land in the water, Zhao Shuo replied, "The water in the space is still not sufficient. If I had more strength, I would have drained the entire lake."

"You are really something. Collecting treasures is one thing, but you even took the island!"

Hearing Bai Jianjia's muttering, Zhao Shuo waved his hand, and countless crystal lotus seeds appeared before Bai Jianjia, like a small mountain.

Looking at Zhao Shuo, Bai Jianjia did not hesitate to collect them. Although she got the majority, Zhao Shuo was extremely pleased. He had the better deal, as with the crystal lotus flowers, he could have an endless supply of crystal lotus seeds.

However, Zhao Shuo was afraid that Bai Jianjia would waste such a heavenly treasure, so he said seriously, "Bai Jianjia, crystal lotus seeds are supreme medicinal herbs. If possible, it's best to use them for refining elixirs and not for replenishing magical power, as that would be a waste."

Surprised, Bai Jianjia looked at Zhao Shuo. In her eyes, the countless lotus seeds meant an endless supply of magical power. But seeing Zhao Shuo's serious expression, she realized that crystal lotus seeds might indeed be very precious and should not be wasted.

Mysteriously, Bai Jianjia nodded.

After settling the island, the two left the tower, put it away, and the sky turned dark. They decided to rest by the lake.

Slowly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, both of them focused on cultivation. The night was deep, and stars twinkled in the sky. At first, Zhao Shuo was greatly surprised. The secret realm was not large, but its area was not less than several Earths, and it had a complete sun, moon, and stars, making it a small world.
