Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 273: Lotus seeds

Views:

Before even picking the elixirs, several Jindan monks started discussing how to distribute them.

One of the men in yellow robes said, "There are four lotuses in total, with nine lotus seeds. I only want two of them, and you can take the rest as you wish."

The other people with lower cultivation bases all showed joy upon hearing this. The yellow-robed man was in the middle stage of the Golden Core, the second highest among the six. If he wasn't greedy, it would be easier to distribute the food.

"Does this fellow Taoist have any requests?"

The old man in gray robe turned his gaze to the man in green beside him with a very respectful attitude.

Chen Lin, who was standing behind, also looked at this person, because the other party was the only cultivator in the late Jindan stage.

Now that the origin of his soul has been restored, the power of his Dharma image can be fully exerted. Coupled with the pseudo-spiritual treasure, the Qingjiao Spear, he is no longer to be feared by those in the early stage of the Golden Core.

Even if a middle-stage Jindan cultivator cannot win, he can still retreat calmly. Among all the cultivators present, only this person makes him wary. If the other party also sets his eyes on the golden lotus seed, it will be difficult to deal with.

As the thought came to Chen Lin, he heard the man in green say in a deep voice: "I want the golden lotus seeds and the two lotuses. You can divide the rest equally. Don't waste time!"

After saying that, he suddenly turned around, pointed at a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and said, "You, go and pick the spiritual medicine back!"

The expression of the monk who was pointed out changed drastically, and the other foundation-building monks were also shocked. They did not expect that the other party would be so domineering.

No one was stupid, and everyone knew there must be danger in the pool. They originally planned to see if they could fish in troubled waters, but they didn't expect to be used as bait, and they immediately began to slowly retreat.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Seeing that the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building also began to retreat, the green-clothed man's voice suddenly turned cold. Then he raised his hand, and his palm turned into a huge black shadow and grabbed him. Before the cultivator of foundation building could react, his head was grabbed by the black hand. He turned into a mummy before he could even make a sound!

Killing people over a disagreement, and the method was so strange and cruel, shocked everyone. Even the Jindan cultivators looked at each other with strong vigilance.

"If anyone dares to move again, don't blame me for being rude!"

The other party spoke again in a cold voice, and then his eyes fell on a dark-faced cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and said, "You go!"

The black-faced monk's expression suddenly turned ugly, but having learned from the previous experience, he did not dare to say anything more. He could only bite the bullet and cast several defensive spells on himself, then held a spiritual flying sword in his hand and used the flying technique to fly straight towards the lotus flowers.

The pool of water was not too big to begin with, and the flying speed of the middle stage of foundation building was enough to reach the top of the lotus in the blink of an eye. After seeing that there was no danger, the black-faced monk couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and reached out to grab the first lotus.

However, what no one among the onlookers expected was that this foundation-building cultivator fell into the pool without any warning before he could even touch the lotus, causing a wave before never coming up again.

If we follow normal logical thinking, we would definitely think that this person was afraid and escaped underground along the pool of water, but no one noticed the fluctuations of the magic power of water escape and earth escape, so we couldn't be sure.

Even the green-clothed man in the late Jindan stage showed doubts, and pointed at another late foundation building cultivator and said, "You go and try!"

In front of a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, there was no difference between the late and middle foundation building stages. This cultivator dared not say anything and just flew over.

But again, when the other party just flew above the lotus and was about to pick it, it fell into the water with a splash and never came up again.

Such a strange scene made everyone nervous. Two foundation-building monks no longer cared about the threat from the man in green and began to run away using escape techniques.

"snort!"

Upon seeing this, the man in green snorted coldly and flicked his fingers lightly. Two invisible waves shot out, and the two escaping Foundation Establishment monks instantly fell to the ground and died!

This method made other people who also wanted to escape immediately behave themselves, and even Chen Lin was secretly surprised.

It is as easy for the opponent to kill a foundation-building person as cutting melons and vegetables. If he has any ideas in a while, he must be cautious.

"You, you, both of you go together!"

Then, the young man pointed to two foundation-building monks and gave them instructions.

The expression of one of the late foundation building cultivators changed, and he saluted the man in green and said, "Senior, I am Huo Yudong, the son of Huo Tingfeng, the elder who is the deacon of Wanmeng Immortal City. Please show some mercy, senior!"

Chen Lin's eyes flashed when he heard this. This was really too urgent. He even revealed his father's name. This kind of behavior was quite shameful among high-level cultivators.

But for the sake of survival, it’s not shabby.

He even wondered if he should also report the name of the Silver Fairy if he was forced into a corner with no way out.

The deacon elder of Wanmeng Immortal City has a great reputation. After all, this secret realm is located on the territory of Wanmeng Immortal City, and this elder Huo Tingfeng also has the cultivation base of the late Jindan period. Everyone thinks that the man in green will let him go.

But what he didn't expect was that the man in blue ignored him and said coldly: "Don't even mention you, even if your father comes, you have to get over here, don't wait for me to make a move!"

Huo Yudong's face turned red, but he still suppressed his anger and flew towards the pool.

However, he did not actually pick the lotus. After arriving above the pool, he threw out more than a dozen talismans in a row, all of which were very powerful, and covered the five lotus flowers. He actually wanted to destroy the elixir!

At the same time, he crushed a jade pendant on his body, and the whole person was covered by a layer of silver light and flew to the other side of the pool.

"court death!"

The man in green had an angry look on his face. One of his hands turned into a giant black palm to block the attack of the talisman, and the other hand shot out a green flying knife, which teleported to Huo Yudong's back.

But before the flying knife could hit Huo Yudong's body, both he and the knife fell straight into the pool.

On the other side, the magical light formed by the talisman was also sucked into the water. Even the black giant hand transformed by the man in green was no exception and was pulled into the water. And it was not over yet. The man in green, who was the caster of the spell, was also pulled over. No matter how he resisted, he could not get rid of it, and he couldn't even cut off the spell!

Watching himself being pulled closer to the pool, the man in green roared angrily, and the arm that was casting the spell suddenly exploded. With this force, he finally gained his freedom and pulled back.

Then he took out a dark red ball and threw it into the pool with force.

The ball was only the size of a fist, but after it fell into the water, the entire pool of water slowly began to turn red, and began to bubble and emit a fishy smell.

"Everyone, are you just going to watch the fun?"

After doing all this, the man in green, with only white bones left on his arms, looked at the other Jindan cultivators and spoke in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, several people showed embarrassment on their faces. They knew they could no longer wait for good things, so they took out talismans and other one-time means to attack the pool.

Unexpectedly, this time the attack was not "sucked" into the pool of water like before, but instead created splashes on the water surface.

The gray-robed old man who first proposed the distribution suddenly had his eyes lit up. He immediately took out a long whip magic weapon and rolled it towards the spiritual herbs.

The suction in the pool seemed to have disappeared, and the long whip directly wrapped around several spiritual herbs and pulled them up with ease.

But before he could be happy, he heard a dull roar coming from underground. The soil under everyone's feet collapsed rapidly, and the water in the pool sank instantly, revealing a huge black hole.

Looking from a distance, two rows of teeth as sharp as knives and shaped like mountain peaks flashed a cold light and quickly closed together.

This pool of water was actually formed by the mouth of a giant beast!

Such a strange situation made everyone terrified. They no longer cared about anything else and fled for their lives.

"Bring the things here!"

The man in green still remembered the treasure at this time, and he transformed into a big hand and grabbed the lotus and lotus pod.

But at this time the gray-robed old man had second thoughts. He was unwilling to share the treasure he had already obtained, so he pulled all the lotuses into his arms with force, then activated a special escape talisman, turned into a ball of white light and shot away.

However, the man in green was not the only one who was qualified to compete for the treasure. Seeing this, several other Jindan attacked at the same time and instantly interrupted the gray-robed old man's escape technique.

"Humph, I'll give them all to you, go grab them!"

The old man snorted coldly, threw the lotus pod out and exploded it directly.

The exploding lotus seeds flew in all directions, and he took advantage of the gap while everyone was scrambling to get them to fly away.

The two closest Jindan cultivators grabbed two of the nine lotus seeds each. They then decided to stop while they were ahead and escaped.

The two Jindan cultivators who were a little slower only grabbed one each, but did not dare to delay and turned into a stream of light and disappeared in an instant.

Even a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage happened to catch one and ran away excitedly.

But no one touched the golden seed, because the man in green had already said he wanted the lotus seed. Even though the man's arm was broken, no one dared to touch the tiger's whiskers.

The green-clothed man's eyes were fixed on the golden lotus seed. He didn't care about the other lotus seeds and lotus flowers being snatched away. He even ignored the last remaining black lotus seed that passed by him. He walked straight to the golden lotus seed, reached out and grabbed it with a happy look on his face.

At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed, and then the golden lotus seed that was about to be obtained was grabbed by another hand. Then the lightning flashed again, and the golden lotus seed and the figure who was trying to grab the lotus seed disappeared!

"ah!"

The man in green roared in extreme anger, but he could not find any trace of the robber.

At the same time, a louder roar was heard from below, and the ground began to shake violently, with the area within a radius of several miles shaking.

He didn't dare to stay any longer and could only leave quickly with a distorted face.

Just as his escape light disappeared, the two rows of huge teeth that were originally at the location of the pool finally closed, and then a monster as big as a mountain slowly rose from the ground!
