One thought is eternal

: Lotus Feast

But after thinking for a long time, Bai Xiaochun still couldn’t find a way to quickly increase his cultivation in a short period of time, especially this day he had eaten too much dragon fish, which was no longer effective.

“There is only alchemy.” Bai Xiaochun murmured, although there are some differences between the alchemy in Tongtian World and the Eternal Continent, and the consumption of alchemy is extremely high, but Bai Xiaochun has no other ideas.

The most important thing is that there are a lot of herbs in his storage bag.

“Also, I have some dried fish here.” Bai Xiaochun looked down at his storage bag. He had caught too many fish before. Although he sent out and ate a lot, some of them were still made into dried fish. stored by him.

“Those dried fish are estimated to sell for a good price”

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath,But there is still some hesitation in his heart, in fact, all these years, every time he does alchemy, there will be various changes, which has become a shadow for him.

Especially when he thought that if something went wrong with the alchemy in the Holy Imperial City, it would probably be more serious than the Tianlongyu riot before, Bai Xiaochun was immediately troubled.

Time passed, and half a month passed quickly. After Tianchi was tidied up by Bai Xiaochun, and those arowanas were alive and kicking again, Bai Xiaochun saw the days go by, so he gritted his teeth hard.

“Be careful, it should be fine.” Bai Xiaochun told himself in his heart, with a decision, he began to buy the things needed for alchemy, after a few days of tossing, he finally got everything ready, and started alchemy in his cautious and almost sneaky way.

Perhaps it was because Bai Xiaochun’s alchemy attainments had improved, or perhaps his caution played a role. After several batches of pills were successfully refined, nothing unexpected happened.

This made Bai Xiaochun extremely surprised, but he summed up the lessons he had learned from being overwhelmed with complacency, and continued to be cautious. Although the time for the pill to be refined was slow, it remained stable after all.

Just like that, time passed again, and Bai Xiaochun would still participate in the monthly grand court, but most of them would be the last to arrive, standing there lazily, with their eyes closed, ignoring everything outside of him. , almost all the time, he spent on alchemy.

Soon, several months passed, and although Bai Xiaochun’s progress in this practice was not as fast as eating the dragon fish, it was extremely stable and he continued to improve.

According to his calculations, it is estimated that in a few years, he will be able to break through the late demigod stage and become Dzogchen.

At the same time, no matter whether it is the dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty or the Holy Emperor, they have also seen Bai Xiaochun’s low-key in the past few months. Seeing that nothing bad happened, everyone was relieved, but the normal smiles and words , still a lot.

Even though Bai Xiaochun has kept a low profile, to everyone in the Holy Dynasty, he is still an outsider.

For those words, Bai Xiaochun pretended not to understand, and was not in the mood to pay attention to them. He was immersed in alchemy and practice all day long, which made the Holy Imperial City calm for a long time.

The only one who was not happy was Liu Tianhou. He had been staring at Bai Xiaochun for a long time, but seeing that Bai Xiaochun seemed to have changed his temper, Liu Tianhou became anxious.

“He must have some big conspiracy.” Liu Tianhou took a deep breath, and after firming his judgment, he stared at Bai Xiaochun even tighter.

In this way, several months passed, autumn passed and winter came, and when the cold disappeared and spring appeared, on the Tianchi where the Holy Dynasty was located, at first, a lotus pod broke out of the water from time to time.

It was also after the lotus pods broke, all the monks who saw this scene in the entire Holy Imperial City cheered up one by one, and the voices of mutual discussion spread in many areas of the Holy Imperial City.

“Water from the lotus pod”

“Could it be another lotus banquet award”

“The last time the lotus pod came out was half a year ago. I heard that all the people who got the lotus seeds improved a lot after swallowing them.”

“It must be related to His Majesty the Holy Emperor’s supernatural powers on the entire Tianchi half a year ago, which made the lotus pods come out earlier.”

There were many voices talking about this, and even many people came to the edge of the lotus leaf, looking at the dozens of lotus pods that appeared in the entire Tianchi, especially with the appearance of the lotus pods, they emitted bursts of fragrance, permeating the entire inside and outside of the Holy Imperial City, but Anything that smells it can speed up the operation of the cultivation base a lot.

As the news spread, as more and more people talked about it, even if Bai Xiaochun didn’t go out very often, he noticed the lotus pods, and gradually heard about it, especially the fragrance that filled the city, which made Bai Xiaochun extremely surprised .

“Lotus Pod” Bai Xiaochun was curious, went out to investigate, and when he came back, his eyes showed excitement.

“I always thought about the Arowana before, but I actually forgot that there are other natural treasures besides the Arowana in the Tianchi Lake.” Bai Xiaochun couldn’t hide his surprise when he thought about the lotus pods he found out.

The reason why the Holy Emperor City chose to build on this Tianchi Lake is precisely because there is a peerless fairy lotus in this Tianchi Lake. This lotus is peerless in the world, and there is only one such lotus in the entire Eternal Continent. treasure.

The roots of this fairy lotus permeate the earth. Although there is only one lotus flower, it has produced a large number of lotus leaves. At the same time, there are countless lotus pods hidden under the water. Every hundred years, some lotus pods will appear to be in full bloom. out.

The lotus seeds in it are of different sizes, the best ones even surpass the elixir to a certain extent, even the worse ones, as long as they can break through the water, they are all comparable to elixir.

For the entire Holy Dynasty, every time the lotus pod is in full bloom, the lotus seeds inside are the most precious treasures. However, the Holy Emperor has strict regulations on the picking of lotus seeds. In the entire Holy Emperor City, it is not allowed to take lotus seeds privately. Only the Holy Emperor himself You are eligible to pick, but you can only take a thousand lotus seeds each time it blooms. You can’t take more, and only the lotus pods that break out of the water are allowed to be picked. Appeared, the process of taking a thousand pills would last from half a month to a month.

At the same time, during the time when the lotus pods are in full bloom and being picked, according to the past practice, the Holy Emperor will hold a banquet, and all civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty will participate in the banquet.In the middle, while drinking the immortal wine, while waiting for the holy emperor to show the ancient method, he took a lotus seed and rewarded everyone.

Usually, out of a thousand lotus seeds, there are about 300 lotus seeds, which are rewarded to the top 300 people in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and 200 lotus seeds are rewarded to those who have made great achievements. The land, auction the world.

The remaining three hundred pills will be sent to the palace for alchemy.

Now that dozens of lotus pods have appeared, rumors about the lotus banquet have also spread in the Holy Emperor City, and even the monks in the Immortal Realm where the Holy Dynasty is located and the Second Immortal Realm are also excited. It is ready to be photographed later.

“This lotus seed is like an elixir.” Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath, and after recalling all the things he had discovered in his mind, he licked his lips and his eyes lit up.

“With my status as Tongtian Gong, I can be rewarded with one grain anyway.” In Bai Xiaochun’s anticipation, a few days later, with the sound of the mighty bell ringing in the palace, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have been waiting for this period of time. The lotus banquet, finally opened.

Bai Xiaochun suppressed the excitement in his heart. After tidying up his clothes, he went straight to the palace. When he arrived, he saw the huge square in the palace. Now there are thousands of tables, with wine and fairy fruits on them, and a large number of palaces. The middle maid is by her side.

There are already many dignitaries who have arrived ahead of time, and they are sitting in the same office for a few minutes, chatting and laughing with each other, including Chen Su, Gu Tianjun and others, they also saw Bai Xiaochun’s figure, Gu Tian You just turned a blind eye to it. Although Chen Su didn’t like Bai Xiaochun in his heart, he still smiled gently on the surface.

As for other powerful monks, most of them are like this, but the contempt deep in their eyes cannot be seen by outsiders, but Bai Xiaochun can naturally see it clearly after so many years of cultivation and dealing with people.

“Isn’t this Tongtian Gong? You come late during the court on weekdays, but you came early today.”

“Gong Tongtian came from a small world, and I’m afraid he has never seen a fairy lotus in his life, but as Lord Tongtian, I think the Holy Emperor will reward one this time.”

“Speaking of it, it is estimated that in the entire Tongtian world, Tongtiangong is the first person who can eat the fairy lotus. This kind of blessing is rare for ordinary people. You should pay attention when tasting it, and chew it slowly. ”

Listening to the jokes of those dignitaries all around, Bai Xiaochun coughed dryly, pretending not to hear the sarcasm inside, and laughed at the crowd, not only did not stay away, he even found a seat near the front and sat down next to the crowd.

“Speaking of it, I miss it. When I was in Tongtian World, every day when I opened my eyes, I would take a bite of snow lotus seeds that were 100,000 years old, and then spit them out. I only took the fragrance, and the fragrance would last for a day. , It’s very memorable, I thought there was no chance, but I didn’t expect you to have fairy lotus seeds here.” Bai Xiaochun coughed lightly, and boasted without blinking.

“It’s a pity that there is no spirit-tailed chicken here. In our place, there is a fairy bird that evolved according to the rules of heaven and earth. A handful of peppers that are more than 500,000 years old will never forget the taste once you eat them in reincarnation.”

“It’s a pity, even in my capacity, I only ate a few thousand.” Bai Xiaochun sighed, his eyes showed remembrance, and he showed a very regretful expression in nostalgia.
