Chapter 139 Earth Vein Immortal Lotus
The earth spirit rat was crouching on a strange dark green lotus leaf-like plant in the middle of the pool. It seemed to be enjoying it.
Wu Yan finally opened his eyes wide and found the abnormality of this cave.
"This pool is actually a naturally formed underground spiritual vein exit!" Wu Yan looked at the white water vapor in the pool in shock. The strong spiritual energy was even stronger than the spiritual energy of the underground spiritual vein in the Five Elements Cave under the Five Elements Peak!
The spiritual energy in the cave spurted out from the bottom of the pool like a blowout, and a large amount of white water vapor formed above the pool, which looked like a water-white spiritual dragon.
Wu Yan stared at the pool in a daze, and suddenly, he suddenly realized a very serious problem!
Since there is an underground spiritual vein exit here, and the first-level earth spirit rat can find it, why hasn't it been discovered before? It can be seen that no one has ever been here. Wu Yan is probably the first person to appear here.
Thinking of this question, Wu Yan shuddered and hurriedly took out a soul-forbidden array disk. Regardless of other things, Wu Yan carefully arranged the soul-forbidden array around the pool according to the arrangement order and method of the soul-forbidden array disk.
When Wu Yan put a mid-level spirit stone into the array disk, the entire soul-forbidden array was activated.
The array flags in each corner disappeared, and the pool became an ordinary pool. The white water vapor above seemed to disappear suddenly, making it look like an underground water cave where an underground river converges.
This soul-forbidden array disk was naturally prepared by the second senior brother Mo Ao, who was good at arrays, for each of the brothers before going out. Its function is also to cover up the found spiritual land of the earth veins to prevent others from discovering it.
Although this is not a powerful array, its ability to imprison spiritual energy and prevent it from dissipating, and to disguise an excellent spiritual land as an ordinary place, is even more powerful than many advanced arrays.
This kind of spirit-banning method is designed in the mountain-protecting formations of many major sects, and its concealing effect is naturally very good. Of course, this is also to be able to confine all the spiritual energy within the cave, so that disciples can practice and absorb it.
After doing all this, Wu Yan turned his attention to the pool in the cave again.
His eyes finally stopped on the dark green lotus leaf floating on the water. After a closer look, Wu Yan found that this was not a lotus leaf at all, but a strange dark green flower that had just opened. It was only because the color of the flower was dark green, and it opened and stretched like a lotus leaf flat on the water, which gave people an illusion that it was a lotus leaf.
On the leaf surface of the flower, there were countless tiny needle-like stamens. The earth spirit rat was lying on the leaf of the flower at this moment, and it seemed to be enjoying it very much. When it turned over, Wu Yan finally saw a thumb-sized green light ball in the center of the leaf.
This is actually a naturally grown mature vine algae lotus! At this point, Wu Yan finally understood why the exit of the spiritual vein here has never been discovered.
If Wu Yan had not been obsessed with alchemy and had read many strange ancient books related to spiritual herbs and medicines, he might not have recognized this vine algae lotus.
This vine algae lotus was originally a spiritual object that grew in the deep sea. Strangely enough, the rhizome of this spiritual plant grows in deep water, but after it sprouts and grows, it will have a bud shaped like a lotus bud and grow upwards until it pushes the lotus bud out of the water.
When this lotus bud grows out of the water, it is also the time when its bud blooms, and it is also the time when this vine algae lotus matures.
Therefore, vine algae lotus does not have a fixed year of maturity. Some vine algae lotuses growing in shallow water may mature in one or two years, while some vine algae lotuses growing under the deep sea may take tens of thousands of years to mature.
However, one thing is certain, the seeds of the vine algae lotus will only germinate and grow when they fall at the exit of the earth vein spiritual land, so this vine algae lotus has another alias, called "earth vein fairy lotus".
The seeds of this lotus are extremely domineering. When they grow, they will almost absorb all the spiritual energy from the earth vein exit to grow vines. This will make it impossible to see any spiritual energy leaking out as long as there is a spiritual vein exit where this lotus grows. Only when the lotus buds of this lotus grow out of the water and bloom completely, will they no longer absorb the spiritual energy of the earth vein, and then the spiritual energy at the exit of the spiritual vein will escape. Therefore, in order to cover up the largest earth vein exit of their sect, many large sects often plant such a vine algae lotus at that exit, on the one hand to cover it up, and on the other hand to get a good magic weapon material.
Because of the growth environment and special growth process, the vines of this lotus are extremely tough. The vines of a vine algae lotus that has grown for thousands of years cannot be cut by ordinary magic weapons, so the vines of this lotus are also the best materials for refining whips, ropes or bows.
What's more special is that this kind of lotus seed, each mature plant, can only produce one lotus seed. The thumb-sized sphere with green light in the center of the petals is the lotus seed of this vine lotus.
Although he didn't know how many years this vine lotus had grown, Wu Yan didn't dare to delay. He carefully took out a ten-liang gold ingot, and then he silently used his magic power to pinch the gold ingot into the shape of a dagger. After doing this, he took out a dozen sealing talismans and a palm-sized jade box from the storage bag.
Wu Yan placed the jade box on the rock beside the pool. To prevent any changes, he took out three array plates from his storage bag and placed them all in this small cave.
After making full protection, he carefully held the dagger made of gold in one hand and the jade box in the other, and lay on the stone beside the pool, and put his upper body into the pool.
Wu Yan placed the jade box next to the lotus seed emitting green light, and then carefully brought the gold dagger close to the green light ball. Suddenly, Wu Yan quickly swung the gold dagger and picked up the lotus seed.
The lotus seed suddenly broke away from the petals and floated up. Seeing that it was about to fly up and fall into the pool water next to it, Wu Yan was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He picked up the jade box that had been prepared in the other hand and put the lotus seed into the jade box. The jade box instantly emitted a strong green light, illuminating the entire cave with a green glow.
Throwing aside the golden dagger in his other hand, Wu Yan hurriedly closed the jade box and continuously pasted all the talismans he had taken out in advance on the jade box.
The green light in the jade box disappeared, and Wu Yan let out a long breath, looking at the jade box in his hand and grinning.
After grinning for a while, Wu Yan finally calmed down his excitement and put the jade box into the storage bag and put it close to his body. Then, Wu Yan sat cross-legged on the big rock beside the pool, staring at the petals and leaves of the vine lotus in the pool without blinking, waiting for the best time to collect the vine stems of the vine lotus.
The vine stems of the vine lotus are very tough, and it is difficult to cut them with magic weapons, and it is impossible to collect them by force. However, if the lotus seeds of this vine lotus are taken away, its vines will automatically break away from the earth veins within a day, and the entire vine will shrink into a dark green sphere, while the blooming petals and leaves will shrink into buds again, making the entire vine lotus look like a coiled, slender, dark green monster snake.
