Chapter 153 I'm almost sick of eating lotus seeds.
Zhong Lingxin ignored all of this. After selling those talismans and array plates, she declared that there would be more next year, and indefinitely there would be. She could sell them to whomever she pleased, it all depended on her mood.
This capricious move stunned all the cultivators on the Immortal Spirit Continent.
Zhong Lingxin's reputation for being rich and willful spread throughout the Immortal Spirit Continent.
But no one could guess where her talismans and array plates came from.
Some people speculate that Qingyang Venerable Saint is a ninth-rank talisman master and array master.
But it was quickly rejected.
For two thousand years, no one has ever seen Venerable Qingyang draw talismans or create arrays. In fact, Venerable Qingyang has never been seen buying the materials for drawing talismans or creating arrays. On the contrary, he has been seen selling quite a lot of them.
Therefore, Venerable Qingyang is neither a talisman master nor a formation master.
Someone mentioned again that Lingyun Sect wanted to capture Zhong Lingxin for interrogation, and soon they talked about how the Lingyun Sect's Tribulation Transcending cultivators were trapped inside the sect and couldn't get out.
Now, everyone understands that Zhong Lingxin has someone protecting her.
For a time, some people speculated that the person protecting Zhong Lingxin might have come down from the immortal realm.
Zhong Lingxin said nothing. When someone asked her, she just smiled slyly and replied with two words: "Guess!"
How are people supposed to guess? The more you guess, the more rumors circulate, and the more outrageous they become. The more you guess, the less people dare to mess with Zhong Lingxin.
Just kidding, if we disagree, I'll just trap you to death.
Who would dare to mess with them?
Zhong Lingxin ignored everything; the business empire she had always wanted to build had already been initiated by someone else.
After observing Huo Jun for some time, she realized that he was capable of handling the intelligence network she wanted to build.
She wants to build her own power base, but there's no suitable candidate yet, so she'll have to wait and see.
She should go into seclusion too!
The Venerable Qingyang was also urging her to go into seclusion soon, complaining that she had too many trivial matters lately, which were affecting her cultivation.
Zhong Lingxin first ventured into the Four Seasons Formation twice, and then went into seclusion, grimacing and covered in wounds.
After hanging up the sign indicating she was in seclusion, she immersed herself in the Nine-Story Pagoda.
Zhong Chun was carefully organizing the materials for refining weapons, occasionally letting out a silly chuckle.
There are so many, so incredibly many!
The fragments of spiritual treasures in the tens of thousands of storage equipment are enough for him to create many ninth-grade super-grade spiritual treasures.
Unfortunately, Xin Xin was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, while he, as a soul who had just awakened, thanks to Xin Xin, also cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage at the fastest speed.
He wanted to have his own body so that it would be easier for him to forge weapons.
He searched and searched through a pile of materials, but none of them could provide him with a vessel for his soul or give birth to a satisfactory body.
Zhong Lingxin had no choice but to leave seclusion and search through her master's library, but she still couldn't find any relevant information.
She had no choice but to go to the sect's library and farm her master's contribution points there. Finally, in a secluded corner, she found a dusty jade slip.
The jade slip is titled "An Introduction to Soul Cultivation," and it only discusses some simple methods of soul cultivation, such as ghost cultivation, possession, and using rare and precious materials to reshape the physical body.
Zhong Lingxin carefully examined the rare and precious materials used to reshape her physical body, and finally sighed sadly.
These rare and precious materials are extremely hard to find; some of them she had never even heard of.
Zhong Chun read the information Zhong Lingxin sent him and slumped to the ground in frustration.
According to the information, the simplest way to reconstruct the physical body of the remnant soul from that ancient battlefield is to use jade.
Such jade is extremely rare to find throughout the entire Immortal Spirit Continent.
Qingyang Venerable Saint did not know what difficulties Zhong Lingxin had encountered, that she had only been in seclusion for a few days before running out and looking through the jade slips everywhere.
Out of a sense of responsibility as a master, he summoned Zhong Lingxin to inquire about the situation.
Zhong Lingxin took out a piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood, saying that she found it among the pile of storage equipment she had acquired. Inside the Soul-Nourishing Wood was a nurturing soul, which she had contracted with.
Her soul wanted to cultivate and reshape her physical body, so she came out to see if there was a way.
After thinking for a moment, Venerable Qingyang told Zhong Lingxin about a ghost cultivator he had once met. The ghost cultivator also wanted to reshape his physical body and told her about a method.
This method is extremely difficult, but the reconstructed physical body is pure and immaculate. As long as you have the right mindset, there will be no bottlenecks.
Take the lotus flower of the Seven-Child Lotus to make the human heart, thus creating a heart with seven exquisite orifices. Then take two hundred and six lotus roots of varying sizes to make two hundred and one human bones, arranging them in the shape of a human. Next, light an ever-burning lamp on the head of this human figure and an everlasting lamp at each foot. Finally, place the human soul into the head of the human figure and perform rituals for forty-nine days.
In this way, the physical body can be reshaped.
However, there are two difficulties in doing this: First, the 206 lotus roots of varying sizes must be arranged in the same shape as the human body, with no misalignments, otherwise the reconstructed body will have blocked meridians. Moreover, you cannot try to take shortcuts by fixing the growth shape of these lotus roots according to the human form yourself; that will not work, because if you fix the lotus roots by your own will, the internal pores will not be connected.
Secondly, during the forty-nine-day ritual, it's crucial to guard against other ghosts trying to seize the body. You must understand, which ghost wouldn't want to rebuild their physical form, especially such a fine one? Someone once collected two hundred and ten lotus roots from the Seven-Seed Lotus, but during the forty-nine-day ritual, they attracted millions of ghosts. Ultimately, not only did they fail to rebuild their body, but the cultivators performing the ritual and those guarding it were all killed by the ghosts. The ritual could not be completed, and the body was never rebuilt.
Zhong Lingxin wasn't afraid of the second thing; she had the Nine-Story Pagoda, and when she performed rituals inside, not a single ghost could get in. But the first thing was also extremely difficult.
Seeing that Zhong Lingxin remained silent in thought, Qingyang Zunsheng took a jade slip, placed it on his forehead, and taught her the specific method.
Whether it can be accomplished or not is beyond the control of Venerable Qingyang; it all depends on the disciple's own destiny.
Zhong Lingxin returned to her cultivation room and went into the Nine-Fold Tower to discuss things with Zhong Chun.
The two souls agreed to plant Seven-Child Lotuses in every suitable spot within the Nine-Story Pagoda. Since they were simply growing them naturally, they would focus on the spiritual energy and spring water. Some Seven-Child Lotuses would require more spring water, others less, and some would be entirely nourished with spring water. The same applied spiritual energy; some would receive more, others less.
Zhong Chun saw hope and from then on devoted himself to digging the spirit pool and planting the seven-flowered lotus.
We harvested many lotus roots of all shapes and sizes, thick and thin, round and flat, and piled them all up in jade boxes.
Huanhuan and Lele, along with Yunlu, were so tired of eating lotus seeds that they almost threw up.
Looking at the pile of lotus seeds, Zhong Lingxin learned how to make lotus seed soup and lotus seed porridge, and even created her own Qinglian Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine formula).
The Qinglian Pill has similar effects to the Qingxin Pill, both of which can heal injuries to the mind. However, the Qinglian Pill focuses more on preventing inner demons and is a good pill for advancement.
