First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 101: Bodhi Seed, Golden Pen

"Nine Heavens Thunder!"

In the courtyard of the temple, three people were engaged in a fierce battle. Utilizing the power of thunder, Lu Ming unleashed a mighty thunderbolt filled with majestic celestial might.

In the end, Xiao Ling'er was blasted out of the battle zone.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Ling'er became the first person to be eliminated, her face filled with frustration and unwillingness.

At this moment, only Lu Ming and Li Chen remained in the field.

The two of them fought fiercely for about half an incense stick's worth of time, and in the end, the one who emerged victorious was not Lu Ming, who Shen Mo had favored, but Li Chen.

In the first half of the battle, Lu Ming had the upper hand, using the power of Purple Sky Crimson Thunder to force Li Chen into a retreat.

But then, Li Chen opened the black coffin and took out his own life corpse puppet.

His corpse puppet had been cultivated to a high level, and its combat power was no less than Li Chen's own.

Even though it was a two-on-one situation, in the end, they still managed to force Lu Ming out of the designated combat area.

"I won't hesitate to claim this last jade box!" Li Chen laughed heartily after his victory and put the jade box into his bag.

As for the defeated Lu Ming, he could accept his loss.

He simply smiled and sighed, "I still fell short, it's a pity."

[While observing the battle, your understanding of combat has deepened, unexpectedly earning you some Destiny Points.]

[While observing the battle, your understanding of combat has deepened, resulting in an increase in your cultivation.]

Watching the end of the battle, Shen Mo glanced at the constantly appearing panel information and was quite satisfied.

"This observation has brought me great benefits. In the future, I should watch more battles between strong opponents."

In the Mountain and River Realm, outside the tomb.

After Shen Mo, Lu Ming, and the others obtained the treasure, they began to leave one by one.

When they entered the tomb, there were a total of over sixty people from the three major sects.

But when they left, only Shen Mo, Lu Ming, and four others remained.

There were still more than ten participants who chose to stay and did not undergo the trial in the Mountain and River Realm.

The other disciples had already been teleported away in advance.

Cao Ren stared anxiously at the entrance of the tomb. When he saw Shen Mo come out, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

He approached and curiously asked, "Did you find any good treasures inside?"

"I don't know."

Shen Mo held the jade box in his hand and shook it in front of Cao Ren, saying, "I only got this, but I haven't had a chance to open it yet."

"Lu Ming said that everything inside is valuable. I hope it doesn't disappoint me!"

Shen Mo muttered.

He had made quite a bit of effort during this trial.

"This is..."

When he opened the jade box and saw the contents inside, he was slightly stunned.

Inside the jade box lay a translucent spirit fruit the size of a jujube pit.

This spirit fruit was obviously not a common spiritual medicine, but its surface did not resemble that of some high-level spiritual medicines, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.

Based on Shen Mo's knowledge in the cultivation world, he couldn't recognize what this thing was.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

He glanced at Cao Ren, who was eagerly waiting, and asked.

As expected, Cao Ren shook his head, completely clueless.

"As expected, I asked for nothing. If I don't even know what it is, how could you possibly recognize it?"

He had at least practiced alchemy and studied many ancient alchemical texts, but he couldn't identify this thing.

Not to mention Cao Ren, who had never had the opportunity to come into contact with spiritual medicines in his daily life.

"I'll go ask Lu Ming later. He should know."

Shen Mo thought to himself.

But before he could go find Lu Ming, Lu Ming had already found him.

"Junior Brother Shen, what did you find in the jade box?"

"A spirit fruit the size of a jujube pit." Shen Mo showed him the item and said, "However, my knowledge is limited, and I can't recognize what kind of spiritual medicine it is."

"Spiritual fruit?"

Curiously, Lu Ming turned his gaze over and his pupils suddenly contracted when he saw the spiritual medicine in the jade box.

"Bodhi Seed! Is this a Bodhi Seed?"

"What grade of spiritual medicine is the Bodhi Seed and what special effects does it have?"

Shen Mo saw Lu Ming's expression and guessed that this spiritual fruit was probably not ordinary.

Sure enough, Lu Ming solemnly said, "The Bodhi Seed is an extremely rare third-grade spiritual medicine."

"This spiritual medicine is an essential ingredient for refining the Bodhi Pill."

"And the pill's effect can allow cultivators to comprehend the true meaning of their origin."

True meaning of their origin?

Shen Mo was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood.

He seemed to have heard Chen Shu mention it before, and it seemed to be a technique possessed only by cultivators in the Spiritual Sea Realm.

After advancing to the Spiritual Sea Realm, the comprehension of the origin body would gradually increase, and they would begin to possess the ability to condense true meaning.

Regardless of swordsmanship, knife techniques, or any other weapons, as long as they condensed the true meaning of their origin and used it in battle, their power would greatly increase.

It could be said that a cultivator with the true meaning of their origin at the same level of strength would be much stronger than a cultivator who had not condensed the true meaning.

"Not only can the Bodhi Pill allow Spiritual Sea Realm cultivators to enhance their origin and condense true meaning, but even Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who consume it have a chance to comprehend the true meaning ahead of time."

Lu Ming looked at the Bodhi Seed in Shen Mo's hand and couldn't take his eyes off it.

"There's a chance for Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to comprehend it ahead of time?"

Shen Mo was taken aback, finally understanding why Lu Ming was so excited.

If a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could truly possess the true meaning of their origin, the increase in their combat power would be unimaginable.

Even if the probability was only one in ten thousand, it would still be worth pursuing.

"It really is a good treasure."

After hearing this explanation, Shen Mo realized its value and curiously asked, "Senior Brother Lu, what treasure is in that jade box?"

"Here, a Golden Point Pen."

Lu Ming said as he opened his palm, revealing a jade-green pen that floated in his palm as if it were made of jade.

"This item should be the exclusive pen used by the Symbol Master in his symbol-making during his lifetime."

"It can also be considered a quite remarkable treasure in the field of symbol cultivation."

"Unfortunately, I don't know how to refine symbols and have no use for this item. When the time comes, I can probably only take it to an auction and sell it."

Lu Ming was not very satisfied with his gains.

Although selling this Golden Point Pen would undoubtedly fetch him a large sum of spirit stones.

But spirit stones were not omnipotent.

Although spirit stones were widely used in the cultivation world.

They could not only be used for cultivation, but also to activate puppet symbols, set up spirit formations, and so on.

These attributes gave spirit stones the status of hard currency.

As long as there were enough spirit stones, theoretically, one could buy all the cultivation resources.

But the objective conditions were not so.

Some low-grade spiritual medicines, elixirs, mines, symbol talismans, immortal techniques, magic tools, and other things could perhaps be found in the surrounding markets of the Linjiang Sect.

But they were limited to some low-grade, basic cultivation resources.

Once a spiritual medicine reached the third-grade category or an immortal technique reached the Profound Grade Superior level, it belonged to the realm of advanced cultivation resources.

They were no longer easily found and could not be bought anywhere.

Some rare treasures and precious items could only be found at auctions held every few months, where the hidden treasures would be brought out.

Otherwise, if they could be directly bought in the market.

The elders of the Linjiang Sect would not need to issue sect missions to find the necessary spiritual mines and medicinal materials.

Lu Ming didn't lack spirit stones.

What he lacked were high-grade treasures that could be directly put to use.

But unfortunately, the things that came out of the jade box were of no use to him.

"If Senior Brother Lu wants this Bodhi Seed, I can exchange it with you."

Shen Mo saw Lu Ming's expression and also guessed his thoughts, taking the initiative to say.
