Chapter 176: It's Here!

Water Blue Star, Emei Golden Summit.

Since three days ago, after the Golden Lotus in that Deep Water Pool behind the mountain began to bloom.

This place had already begun to close the mountain, declining visitors from coming.

Nowadays, those who can still appear at the Golden Summit and visit the sunrise scenery of the Golden Summit.

Are either true practitioners who already lived and cultivated in the surrounding Daoist temples and monasteries.

Or they are high-level experts from various sects with fame and backgrounds who had long since applied and rushed over, along with their disciples.

Because of the old practitioner of Qingmu Temple.

Regarding these high-level experts who have truly cultivated bitterly for decades, all parties have a certain level of respect for them and allow them to act with flexibility.

After all, that person from Qingmu Temple, based on their extensive investigation and understanding.

Before the Immortal appeared to go Fishing, that old practitioner also had no supernatural powers.

Yet after encountering Immortal Fate, he far surpassed his disciples and stepped into a realm that experts find inconceivable.

Looking at these high-level experts from various sects before us, who knows if they might also obtain their own opportunity one day and step over that threshold into the extraordinary?

"The Golden Lotus has really bloomed?"

"How could that be fake? I heard it from my seventh aunt's eighth aunt's third nephew's own mouth!"

"It is rumored that when the flower bloomed, a delicate fragrance permeated the entire mountaintop!"

"People on the spot immediately dispatched machines to collect that Immortal Qi! There are already people on the market offering high prices to acquire it!"

"You believe this kind of news?"

On the Golden Summit, watching the Sun slowly rise into the sky and submerge into the clouds, dyeing the cloud layer into a magnificent expanse of Golden Light.

Two old practitioners, rarely seen, began to exchange information.

It is just that these rumors, as they exchanged them, became increasingly distorted during the spreading.

Making the investigators behind them twitch their lips continuously.

One can only say that these old practitioners are also human; such is human nature, always liking to add embellishments.

And then slowly making a matter sound incredibly exaggerated.

This is still with the higher-ups intentionally controlling it.

Otherwise, I fear rumors that the fragrance of those Golden Lotus flowers behind the mountain could cure a hundred illnesses would also emerge, causing who knows how many people to besiege the back mountain where Qingmu Temple is located!

The Golden Lotus in the Deep Water Pool behind the mountain had indeed bloomed.

One bloomed three days ago, and they have bloomed successively over these past two days.

And there truly was a delicate fragrance permeating the vicinity of the Deep Water Pool.

Not only did the disciples of Qingmu Temple smell it.

Many experts also went to the scene and smelled it after obtaining the consent of that old Temple Master.

But after examining most people, they discovered that this fragrance, like floral scent, had no other special effect besides making people feel physically and mentally pleasant.

The few who insisted that their bodies felt much better after smelling the fragrance were ultimately just deceiving themselves.

Suddenly, another group of people arrived at the mountaintop, and seeing the attire of these people, the old practitioners became excited one after another.

Those who arrived were disciples of Qingmu Temple.

Seeing these high-level seniors whose status and position were much higher than theirs, they were instinctively a bit shy.

Fortunately, thinking of the old Temple Master who was already like a person among the Immortals.

They regained their courage, and after bowing, they said in a low voice to these old practitioners whose goal was the Deep Water Pool behind the mountain:

"The Temple Master has an order."

"The Golden Lotus is about to mature."

"This is a great joyous event, and it is only right that everyone shares in the joy."

"The Daoist masters may select one or two personal attendants to accompany us to the back mountain."

The Qingmu Temple disciple paused here, noticing that the people beside the seniors who brought many disciples had somewhat anxious expressions.

He took a deep breath and added a key sentence:

"The Temple Master said, this is also the intention of that person."

That person's intention?

The disciple's voice was not loud.

Once these words were spoken, however, the practitioners of various sects on the Golden Summit suddenly quieted down.

Having rushed here from their hometowns, how could they not know who "that person" referred to?

As expected!

When the Golden Lotus blooms and matures, that true Immortal Master will also appear!

Immortal Fate, this is truly real Immortal Fate!

Immediately, the people on the Golden Summit all began to behave with refined courtesy, being polite and yielding.

It seemed they felt that the Immortal might be in the Golden Light clouds above the Golden Summit, watching them!

"Master, you know me; I have always been the fastest at learning things!"

"If there really is a Spirit Root, talent, etc., I feel my possibility is greater!"

"Master! Your disciple has been busy running around for the sect for these past few decades, without a moment of leisure..."

The disciples whispered around the old practitioners.

Fortunately, all were wary of the Immortal watching, so they only argued based on reason and did not escalate to the point of meeting through martial arts.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the Qingmu Temple disciples saw that these people had also selected a delegation.

Thus, the fifty-some sects qualified to rush over, about a hundred people, followed the Qingmu Temple disciples toward the back mountain.

In the hotel on the mountainside, inside a hotel room that had been converted into an intelligence room.

Several investigators looked at the high-altitude camera feed and clicked their tongues in wonder.

Inside the frame.

The Golden Lotus flowers in the Deep Water Pool behind the mountain were all in full bloom.

The petals were very large, far exceeding ordinary lotus flowers.

Moreover, they were quite thick, and experts already suspected that another layer of crop might be hidden inside the petals.

It was only out of concern that this was private property.

And that the Immortal's methods were truly unfathomable.

That the experts resisted the temptation to send someone to cut open the petals to take a look.

And as the crowd from the Golden Summit arrived at the Deep Water Pool.

And paid their respects to the old Temple Master sitting on the large rock beside the pool.

The investigators stood up abruptly and said in unison:

"They're here!"

The old Temple Master nodded slightly, and after nodding and exchanging glances with several old friends, he also stood up, feeling something in his heart.

Swish, swish, swish!

A light breeze suddenly blew in the sky.

Even though the sun was still out, a light, drizzling rain began to fall.

This rain was icy and cool, and when it dripped onto their bodies, the moment it touched their skin, it felt extremely comfortable.

"This is the Spirit Rain bestowed by the Immortal!"

An old practitioner cried out, tilting his head to let the rain drip into his eyes.

After only a few seconds, this old practitioner was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

He kept calling out that he could see again, that he could see clearly...

This left the investigators in the back looking completely bewildered.

They quickly pulled up the file on this old practitioner.

Upon discovering that this eighty-year-old practitioner's eyes indeed had problems, and that it was a condition at the back of the eyes that had caused severe, irreparable vision loss.

These investigators also became curious about this rain.

And they were very gratified that the personnel on-site had immediately directed a Drone to collect the rain and hand it over to experts for analysis.

Su Ping was flying in the air at high altitude, sipping wine and watching the Drone operation, but he did not stop them.

Because he knew these were just rain that had absorbed Spirit Qi after he activated the Array.

The Spirit Qi in such rain disappeared very quickly.

Once it left the vicinity of the Deep Water Pool, it might become no different from ordinary rain halfway there.

Anyone wanting to research something from it was destined to be disappointed.

As for that old practitioner whose vision had recovered, it was because under the nourishment of the Spirit Qi, he had used his instinct from years of practice to slightly repair the back of his eyes.

It would certainly be false to say his vision had recovered to its original state, but it was still possible for it to have recovered just a little.

As for this batch of Golden Lotus Spirit Rice.

The growth looked very gratifying.

Although there was no need to worry about pests or diseases.

But tending to them day and night to regulate the humidity and heat for this Golden Lotus Spirit Rice was unavoidable.

It could be considered hard labor.

As the Golden Lotus Spirit Rice bathed in the Spirit Rain and received this stimulation, it matured completely!

Bursts of Golden Light emerged from around the Deep Water Pool.

Under the Golden Light.

Everyone widened their eyes to see that the petals of those Golden Lotus flowers were shedding their inner layer of clothing one after another.

And then, grains of Spirit Rice, crystal clear like pearls, were revealed inside!

The fragrance also became increasingly rich.

It truly made everyone present feel a jolt to their spirits.

Everyone subconsciously realized that this pearl-like Spirit Rice was definitely a good thing that their bodies craved!

Some old practitioners and their disciples began to swallow their saliva, their bodies following their instincts as they prepared to move closer to the Deep Water Pool.

But they saw the old Temple Master standing on the rock shake his sleeves.

A gust of Wind Technique surged out, blowing the practitioners who had lifted their feet back a large step.

While they were shocked by the old Temple Master's extraordinary power, they also realized their own loss of composure and hurriedly thanked the old Temple Master.

The old Temple Master turned his head to look at the sky and bowed:

"Greetings, Immortal Master!"

Seeing this bow from the old Temple Master, the crowd then all tilted their heads to look in the direction he was bowing.

At first, it looked like there was nothing there.

After a moment, they discovered that the air in front seemed to have blurry fluctuations.

Immediately, an Immortal sitting on a red Gourd, whose appearance could not be seen clearly and who was shrouded in white light, appeared.

After this Immortal slowly lowered his altitude, he jumped down from the Gourd, and with a wave of his sleeve, he stored the Gourd, which was at least the size of a fishing boat, into his sleeve.

Then they saw this Immortal Master extend his right hand toward the Deep Water Pool and give it a light wipe!

The pearl Spirit Rice inside the Golden Lotus flowers then detached from the flowers one after another and were all stored into his sleeve.

Seeing this scene, the old cultivators were all filled with envy.

Without the Spirit Rice, the golden lotus flowers withered rapidly.

Su Ping did not waste them, instructing the Temple Master to collect these withered golden lotus flowers.

He then informed him of several pill formulas he had pondered over after researching a vast number of pill recipes and Side Sect methods.

He intended for the Temple Master to try refining them whenever he had the time.

This could also be considered helping him accelerate his research progress a little.

In addition, he swept his gaze over those old cultivators and their disciples.

After a hearty laugh, he faced these mortals, unfurled his formation map, and with a roll, swept them up.

Including the Temple Master, these hundred or so mortals were temporarily drawn into the illusion generated with the formation map as its foundation.

And from the outside looking in.

One could only see a Golden Light enveloping the Deep Water Pool.

It prevented them from seeing the reality inside.

After receiving approval from above, a Drone rushed toward the Golden Light.

Yet it eerily passed straight through it.

It seemed that the area shrouded by the Golden Light had already formed a unique space.

It could no longer be touched by external objects!

This made many who were in the know immediately think of the Space-Time Rift in the waters of Bangzi Country.

That was a spatial ability that even a nuclear explosion could not affect in the slightest!

The Immortal on their side also appeared to be proficient in this kind of spatial ability!

Although it seemed a bit inconceivable, thinking about it, it was also within reason.

After all, the last time that Space-Time Rift occurred, it was also resolved by the Mysterious Force of their Eastern Ancient Kingdom.

It is quite reasonable for the Mysterious Force that could resolve a Space-Time Rift to master the same spatial ability, isn't it?

The best way to deal with spatial power should be with the same spatial power!
