Chapter 2368 Bright Light and the Demon Cave
"Tell us," the immortals said in unison. Finding firsthand information at this time was extremely difficult. "True Master Minghui actually went to Jade Capital City. Was he injured?"
"No, he went by invitation. The Earth Mother even personally led him on a tour of Jade Capital City."
"Oh?" The immortals were greatly surprised. "They didn't break in?"
Even the True Man Sihai became interested: "I thought the Earth Mother was impervious to reason and didn't deal with other forces."
"No, no, that time it was the Earth Mother who needed a favor from the Great Return Sect, so True Person Minghui walked into Jade Capital City in a very open manner, and the Earth Mother had to be polite to him." When asking someone for a favor, shouldn't one greet them with a smile? Even someone as powerful as the Earth Mother has to understand a little about human relationships.
Immortal Mingke didn't put on airs and continued, "Back then, the Great Return Sect held a sale at Tian Shu Peak in Xushan. The Earth Mother wanted one of the treasures called 'Wind and Dew Golden Lotus,' but she couldn't be there in person, so she entrusted True Person Minghui to bid on her behalf."
Venerable Mingyao laughed and said, "I understand. If the Earth Mother dares to steal something from the Great Return Sect, she will probably never return."
At that time, there were six major immortal sects in the cultivation world. The Great Return Sect, under the leadership of the First Shore True Person, was at its peak. Who would dare to provoke the Grand Duke? The Earth Mother had no choice but to follow the proper channels to get what she wanted.
"'Golden Lotus in Wind and Dew'?" the other immortals asked. "What kind of treasure is this that the Earth Mother is so concerned about?"
"Master Minghui also found it strange, so he went to the treasure vault to find out more." Immortal Mingke had a good memory. "It turns out that the fragrance of this Wind and Dew Golden Lotus has a calming and soothing effect. When you cultivate and practice your internal energy near it, you are less likely to be invaded by inner demons. The precious lotus produces jade dew at night. Drinking this dew directly can prevent mortals from getting sick. It can also be used as a guide in medicine to enhance the efficacy of the medicine."
The immortals awaited the next installment.
"We often say that wood and stone are heartless, but the dew of the Wind and Dew Golden Lotus can soothe the spirits of grass, trees, and rocks, making them quiet and peaceful. Before the sale began, the Great Rejuvenation Sect had already conducted an experiment. All plants around the Wind and Dew Golden Lotus, whether crops, medicinal herbs, or immortal trees, grew better and had higher yields."
Master Sihai nodded: "Hmm, this is not bad. Even in ancient times, the yield of some spiritual herbs was still ridiculously low."
This allows one to use the golden lotus in the wind and dew to induce labor.
"anything else?"
Immortal Mingke: "That's all. That's all we know. Oh, the Great Return Sect originally planned to take it over themselves."
The immortals were somewhat disappointed: "This spiritual herb is quite good, but it can't be called a rare treasure."
Is the Wind-Dew Golden Lotus effective? Very effective.
But in the eyes of these immortals, who were accustomed to seeing rare and precious treasures, it was far from being considered "rare." The Earth Mother, who loved excavating ruins, certainly had plenty of treasures in her possession. Why would she entrust the immortals of the Great Rejuvenation Sect to bid for such a mere golden lotus?
What's so special about this lotus that makes it so determined to have it?
Ling Jinbao laughed and said, "Maybe we can take it back to cure its insomnia. It's easy to have trouble sleeping at night after doing too many bad things."
"That's a lame joke," the Immortal of the Sea rolled his eyes. "How can a stone man not sleep well?"
“I don’t know. Perhaps the Earth Mother has an interest in collecting rare and precious materials. This Wind and Dew Golden Lotus is indeed rare. I’ve lived for so long and have only heard its name once.” Immortal Mingke continued, “Brother Qu also checked the history of this Golden Lotus and found that it was actually picked in Changfeng Valley. Later, it passed through the hands of several cultivators before finally entering the auction in Xushan.”
"It actually comes from Changfeng Valley?" Master Sihai pondered. "Could it be that the Earth Mother has some connection with this plant?"
Items at large-scale auctions need to have a "clear provenance," meaning their history is clearly traceable and preferably has been associated with important figures or events. This will increase the item's reputation and price. "This Golden Lotus of Wind and Dew had not been collected by any big shot, so the price was not high. On the day of the auction, there were only seven or eight bids, and Master Minghui easily won it. Then, as agreed, it was sent to Yujing City."
Master Sihai shook his head: "This fellow is really bold."
“You know Brother Qu’s temperament; he’s incredibly audacious,” Immortal Mingke laughed. “He had long heard that Jade Capital was a den of demons, and most who sneaked in never had a good ending. He wanted to openly visit Jade Capital to broaden his horizons, and Mother Earth agreed.”
What's so special about that place?
"Yujing City is like an exhibition of topography and architecture, where all styles and designs are gathered together. The Earth Mother showed her collection to True Person Minghui. At that time, there were a total of forty-seven ruins and ancient sites of various sizes, twenty-seven of which had secret realms, and three of which even had their own guardian spirits." Immortal Mingke used very careful words, as these numbers were from thousands of years ago.
As for how much the Earth Mother currently possesses, only she herself probably knows the exact number.
Ling Jinbao interjected, "Didn't they say that the Earth Mother hid her heart in the white house deep within Jade Capital City? Has True Person Minghui ever gone to see it?"
Master Sihai chuckled: "That can't be, can it?"
"He actually made that request, and Mother Earth generously showed him the place, right in the deepest part of the rock strata. Sure enough, there were a few white pieces of Mother Earth there," said Immortal Mingke. "But he only glanced at them from about four zhang away and didn't go any closer."
Even the Venerable Minghui would never do something as rude as "directly inspecting someone's vitals."
"But Brother Qu also asked the Earth Mother, is Stone Heart really in the White House?"
Such a fearless person! Ling Jinbao was filled with longing: "I only regret that I was born more than three thousand years too late, so I can't witness the demeanor of this True Man Minghui."
Master Sihai patted him on the shoulder and laughed, “You were born more than three thousand years too late, so you know nothing about the power of the Great Return Sect back then. Master Minghui dared to calmly step into the Demon Cave because he truly had nothing to fear.”
True Master Minghui is a direct disciple of True Immortal Shouan, and three thousand five hundred years ago, that was the era when True Immortal Shouan reigned supreme!
The Earth Mother would never want to provoke such a person or such a sect without good reason.
"What was Mother Earth's response?"
"The Earth Mother pointed to that patch of white rock and said, 'That's right, my stone heart is inside! I told everyone in the world long ago that whoever has the ability can take it. But for so many years, no outsider has ever been able to get within two zhang of it.' After saying that, she laughed heartily."
The immortals exchanged glances. Although this monster was arrogant, he certainly had the right to be so rampant.
“Brother Qu also said that the Earth Mother usually takes the form of a stone figure, and its size can be adjusted at any time. In addition, the buildings and layout of the Jade Capital City can also be dismantled and adjusted at any time according to its will, just like a child’s toy.” Immortal Mingke sighed, “So it is difficult for us to formulate an attack route within the city.”
