Other Shore Flower
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
Since the tomb owner had no ulterior motives and the restrictions were merely for preventing theft, it was only natural that everyone paid their respects to the corpse to show their respect for their predecessor.
Qin Yi clearly saw treasures buried beside the corpse, but he didn't even think of touching them. He bowed and said, "This junior had no intention of stealing anything from you, senior. I came here to investigate clues about the Blood Nether Realm, and later to borrow this Qin Yi to defend against enemies... I apologize for disturbing your eternal rest."
The tomb was quiet, but the atmosphere seemed to become more peaceful with Qin Yi's words. A cool breeze seemed to be blowing, and the previous gloomy and eerie feeling had completely disappeared.
Places frequented by powerful beings of the Qian Yuan realm, objects they use regularly, or even the remains of those who have lost all consciousness often retain some spirituality. Whether the intruder comes with malicious intent or adopts Qin Yi's attitude, the entire environment will react differently.
Qin Yi stepped forward and took the scroll out of the coffin. Just as he was about to close the coffin lid, he paused for a moment.
The old man's corpse had been slightly shifted due to the battle between Feng Bulie and the restrictions, and a deep hole could be vaguely seen beneath him.
"A direct path to the Netherworld," Liusu said. "This is undoubtedly one of the entrances to the Netherworld Realm. This person used the Netherworld's energy to maintain his corpse's immortality, and also used it as a protective barrier for his coffin. This entrance... Shall we go in?"
Qin Yi said, "We must rest here first. Qing Jun is still recovering from her overexertion, and my own Law Power is also depleted... I still need to refine pills for you. It would be too rash to rush into the unknown realm at this time."
Liusu then said, "Then it would be best to find a way to temporarily seal this entrance, otherwise the scroll will always be affected by the aura of the intersection of the two realms, and it would be terrible if Feng Bulie seized the opportunity to come out."
Ju Yunxiu understood and threw out another scroll, covering the coffin.
The paintings of Huiyang each form a realm. Using another simple realm to isolate the aura is most appropriate. The auras that intersected between the two realms were immediately isolated, and the painting that Feng Bulie finally returned to its original state, with not a trace of his aura escaping.
Given that he was already injured by the restrictions, it will probably be difficult for him to recover.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, closed the coffin lid, and sat wearily together beside it. They looked at each other for a moment, then smiled simultaneously.
No matter how tired we are, the feeling of fighting side by side is great, and the feeling of achieving victory together is even better.
"You all rest, I'll observe the surroundings to avoid being completely clueless." Qin Yi got up wearily, walked towards the Pill Furnace, looked at it for a while, and was quite satisfied.
The burial site chosen by the powerful Qian Yuan was indeed carefully chosen. The Earth Fire here is somewhat similar to Meng Qingying's Netherworld Hellfire, appearing cold on the surface but actually incredibly hot, with a strong burning effect on the soul. It's not particularly suitable for alchemy, but each alchemist has their own fire source to complement it, so the Earth Fire only needs to provide a stable high temperature, which is sufficient.
Actually, this Earth Fire might even be able to be refined into a fire seed... but Qin Yi didn't want to steal other people's things, and besides, this fire's attributes weren't really compatible with him. He just wondered if Meng Qingying would abandon her principles if she wanted it?
Qin Yi didn't even dare to think about his own integrity. He shook his head to shake off the thought and reached out to touch the Pill Furnace.
It is made of the same cold, dark copper material, very similar to that of a coffin. Putting aside other factors, it would certainly be very suitable for refining elixirs related to soul consecration.
Liusu's tone was also quite pleased. "A good furnace, it can at least increase the success rate of this pill by 10% or 20%. This furnace is of a higher grade than the beast-head furnace on Transient Peak, and even better than Cheng Cheng's furnace. You'll probably have a hard time finding one like it elsewhere. I suggest you take it with you, so you don't have to look for a furnace every time you want to refine pills."
Qin Yi shook his head, suddenly realizing that Liusu was encouraging him to do bad things less and less often, unlike when they first met when she was full of malice and a complete devil. Maybe she was just bottling up her anger back then, with nowhere to vent it. Now, although she's not quite a good one yet, she's much better.
At least in the eyes of most cultivators, tomb raiding wasn't considered a bad thing; it was commonplace. It was just that Qin Yi personally felt a little guilty. After all, the owner of this place clearly intended to preserve items for future use; taking them would be no different from stealing...
Although the owner of this place is almost certainly not going to return, it is uncertain whether the so-called reincarnation has been successful.
Qin Yi didn't argue with Liusu about this; instead, he turned to look at the pool in the corner.
The more I look at it, the more amazed I become.
This wasn't originally flowing water; a Law Power circulation system was created to allow the pool water to circulate underground and flow down the walls, giving the impression of flowing water. But since it wasn't actually flowing water, it should have become foul and spoiled long ago after tens of thousands of years, yet it hasn't.
This water is spotless and so clean that it can be drunk directly. It's not spoiled at all; it's cleaner than almost any water Qin Yi has ever seen.
Because this is a spiritual spring with abundant Spiritual Qi, it can be said to be a liquefied form of pure Spiritual Qi energy. Soaking in the water has an effect similar to cultivating with Top Grade Spirit Stone. Moreover, the Spiritual Qi of the Yin Realm is constantly being absorbed and added to it, which means it has become a living spring that can be used for repeated soaking.
If you actually drink it, the rich Spiritual Qi will be enough to digest it for at least a month.
Ju Yunxiu watched from the side, quite amazed. This spiritual spring that had been circulating for ten thousand years was truly a great Divine Ability, something that ordinary cultivators could not accomplish.
Beside the pool was a Cold Jade Bed, the jade itself being black, exuding a mysterious aura of icy desolation. Even without expert appraisal, one knew that simply lying on it to cultivate would yield twice the results with half the effort, and would also be more beneficial to the soul.
Several flowers bloomed in the pond, their petals a vibrant red, delicately and haphazardly unfolding. They seemed unremarkable at first glance, yet possessed a captivating, eerie beauty. Their fragrance permeated the soul, bringing a slight sense of unease, yet also a heightened awareness—a feeling that was strangely indescribable.
Qing Cha squatted curiously by the spring and reached out to poke the flower petals.
She poked it, and the petal, as if it had a spirit, bent down with a "snap" and tapped her finger.
Qing Cha flicked the petals again. The petals shook, and water droplets splashed out, covering Qing Cha's face.
Qing Cha wiped her face and cried loudly.
Ju Yunxiu: "..."
Qin Yi: "..."
"This is the Netherworld Flower, which Buddhists call the Other Shore Flower," Liusu said calmly. "If you want to communicate with the Netherworld, it's best to carry one with you; it's useful. Besides... it's beneficial for resurrection..."
Qin Yi subconsciously turned to look at the coffin, thinking to himself that the owner of this place was truly preparing for resurrection in every way, and that this flower clearly had a special use.
"If I were to add a single petal to the pill I need, the effect would be even better, and the success rate would double... It's even useful for refining the next stage of the pill..." Liusu said disdainfully, "A single petal, you won't think I'm stealing it, will you?"
"Uh, I'm not pedantic." Qin Yi reached out and broke off two petals, then said, "There are several here. If we really go to the Netherworld, we should take one with us."
"That's good. I thought you were a complete fool." Liusu said with satisfaction, "If you don't take what Heaven gives you, you will surely suffer the consequences."
Qin Yi curled his lip. "Nonsense."
"What kind of twisted logic is that..." Liusu scoffed, "Soaking in this water, using the fragrance of this flower, and practicing dual cultivation techniques will amplify the effects. Not only will it easily restore your energy from exhaustion, but your souls will also receive excellent nourishment, which is beneficial for breakthroughs. Now tell me, do you want to use it?"
Qing Cha immediately covered her eyes.
The whole family blushed, and Ju Yunxiu, embarrassed and angry, picked up her Qing Cha: "What's with that expression?!"
Qing Cha covered her eyes. "Weren't you two going to cultivate together?"
"Who said we were going to practice dual cultivation!" Ju Yunxiu shoved the Qing Cha leaves into the pool. "You should take a bath first, you brat!"
The Qing Cha twitched in the pool, and the water slowly released the fragrance of the tea leaves.
Ju Yunxiu was using the pretext of bullying Qing Cha to avoid looking at Qin Yi. Qin Yi and Li Qingjun exchanged a quick glance, then turned their heads away as if they had been electrocuted.
This overexertion is severe, and Feng Bulie urgently needs to resolve his issues within the art world. It seems... dual cultivation is indeed the best option for a rapid recovery...
If you're soaking in the pool water... well...
There's even Cold Jade Bed here...
It all seems like it was all planned out. Was this a trap that the owner of this place and Qin Yi had agreed upon?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Qin Yi stealthily take out his prayer beads like a thief, flick them casually, and shout in a low voice, "Change!"
The prayer beads transformed into a wall, separating the pool and the Cold Jade Bed into a separate small room. A faint, warm, pinkish light emanated from the Buddhist Light, creating an ambiguous atmosphere in the small room.
Ju Yunxiu and Li Qingjun, sharing the same thought, simultaneously kicked Qin Yi in the buttocks, sending him tumbling into the pool. "Die, you lecherous monk!"
