Jing Zhen was hiding his true strength on purpose. Although Chu Li could not see through him, he could feel the fluctuation of his emotions.
When the fire reached the initial phase, he deliberately hesitated for a moment before pulling back and tossing out the golden lotus. With that, the fire was too old, and the speed of the Golden Merit Lotus' germination was greatly slowed.
Chu Li became more wary of Jing Zhen.
He hid himself everywhere and had a huge secret. It was hard to tell if he was a friend or foe. Although they entered the same sect at the same time and were somewhat related, it was hard to predict his character. Su Xin grinned.
Su Xin smiled and said, "It has already bloomed. Ten days from now, it should condense into a golden lotus. When you consume it, it will increase your cultivation by a hundred years. During these ten days, you can focus on cultivating. How much the golden lotus can increase your cultivation is related to your own cultivation. The key is the purity of your cultivation. The purer your cultivation is, the better the effect of the golden lotus."
Chu Li and the other two nodded.
Su Xin said, "The golden lotus can increase your cultivation level but purity is crucial in a real battle. The more refined the lotus, the more powerful it is. This requires a purer energy."
"Yes." The three nodded.
"Right, you're all powerful figures in the lower realm." Su Xin suddenly stopped before leaving and said softly, "But the martial arts in the lower realm can't compare to the secret lotus technique. It's best not to waste time."
Jing Xue said, "Master's Junior Su Xin, I cultivate the Empyrean Fairy Heart Sutra."
Chu Li's heart skipped a beat.
He was very familiar with the Empyrean Fairy Heart Sutra. It was the heart technique that Lu Yurong cultivated before. It was shockingly powerful but had no further progress, so she changed to other antique studies. He did not expect to meet a cultivator of the Empyrean Fairy Heart Sutra here.
"If it's the Empyrean Fairy Heart Sutra, you can cultivate it at the same time." Su Xin was surprised. "No wonder you're so talented. It's the Empyrean Fairy Heart Sutra that matches our secret lotus technique!"
Jing Xue revealed a smile.
Su Xin glanced at Chu Li and Jing Zhen without saying a word.
Chu Li said, "I'm cultivating the Dragon Elephant Wisdom."
"The Dragon Elephant Wisdom …" Su Xin pondered and shook her head. "I've heard of this technique. It's a Buddhist protective divine technique. Unfortunately, it focuses on physical strength, which is useless for the secret lotus technique. It's better not to cultivate it."
Chu Li said, "And the Demon Suppression Seal."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small silver seal suddenly condensed in the sky. It was real and not illusory, but it emitted a vast might.
Su Xin said, "It still won't work. Your Demon Subduing Seal is not weak, but it is still much weaker than the Lotus Wheel. The Lotus Wheel is a rare metal of heaven and earth, only it can counter Zhu Xie and the Heavenly Deity Race."
Chu Li sighed. "Then we'll just have to let it go."
"You all have already practiced the Lotus Flower Secret Technique, so you should know its intricacies. Don't waste time because you are reluctant to part with the old technique," Su Xin said.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
His mudra technique was exquisite and powerful, but it was indeed not suitable for this world. Compared to the Lotus Wheel, it wasn't lacking in subtlety, but its power was lacking by a bit. It wasn't as powerful as the Invincible Blade.
He had already decided to give up on other techniques and focus on cultivating the Lotus Secret Technique.
The Lotus Secret Method was indeed exquisite beyond compare. Even with his comprehension ability, he couldn't comprehend it in a short time. He needed to slowly comprehend it layer by layer.
Jingzhen said in a deep voice, "I cultivate the Godfiend Sutra."
"That won't do." Su Xin shook her head and said, "Let's practice the Lotus Secret Technique."
Jingzhen nodded.
"Alright, go about your own business. Once you've condensed a golden lotus and swallowed it, you can follow the team to kill and obtain merit." With that, Su Xin was lifted by the lotus and left.
Chu Li and Jingxue pressed their palms together and left.
Jingzhen didn't urge them to stay.
The two of them walked slowly while being carried by the lotus. Jingxue asked, "Are you an eminent monk?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "I'm quite famous and respected. Unfortunately, everything is for naught here. I have to start from scratch. Junior Sister Jingxue, is it the same?"
"I'm not a monk. I only cultivate the Buddhism Secret Technique," Jingxue said.
Chu Li said, "The Empyrean Fairy Sutra isn't a Buddhism Secret Technique, is it?"
He felt that it was a Taoist Secret Technique, and it wasn't a Buddhism Secret Technique.
Jingxue shook her head gently. "The Empyrean Fairy Sutra is unique. Moreover, there isn't a Taoist Sect in my world. It's already been destroyed by the Buddhists!"
Chu Li asked, "Junior Sister, what sects are there in your world?"
He wanted to know if that world had anything to do with the one he was in. He even wanted to know if they were the same world. He realized that he was far from understanding the mysteries of this world.
Jingxue listed more than ten sects in one go, but Chu Li had never heard of any of them. They were all the most inaccurate worlds. He would only be able to find them if he could cultivate to the point where he could freely travel between worlds.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, he was diligently cultivating the Lotus Secret Technique.
As he channeled the Lotus Secret Technique, his spirit, the lotus wheel, and the lotus seat merged into one. The lotus wheel and lotus seat formed a strange world that absorbed the vitality of Heaven and Earth. He bathed in the vitality of Heaven and Earth. The inner energy that entered his body was the inner energy of the Lotus Secret Technique.
When he channeled this inner energy, the lotus wheel and lotus seat were like his arms. He did not have to think too much. They would move as soon as he willed it. It was very strange, even more so than the Heavenly Knife Technique he had cultivated before.
Of course, the Heavenly Knife Technique also helped him understand the Lotus Secret Technique, so he learned it faster.
When the first ray of sunlight shone into the courtyard in the morning, the lotuses in the lotus pond suddenly shone brightly. The golden light flickered as if they had turned into golden lotuses.
Chu Li immediately understood that the golden lotuses were about to condense.
The golden lotuses slowly floated up and suddenly shrunk in the air. Suddenly, a golden lotus seed appeared.
It shot toward Chu Li.
Chu Li reached out and took it. He was secretly channeling the Lotus Secret Technique, so he did not take it. Instead, it fell into his hand on its own. It was indeed strange, so he threw it into his mouth without hesitation.
It melted as soon as it entered his mouth. Its fragrance lingered and lingered.
