CHAPTER 190: CHAPTER 189 SPIRIT CLEANSING LOTUS, TRUE MONARCH HANYI (FIRST UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

After cultivating immortality, one continuously becomes stronger, but correspondingly, one must also lose some things.

After cultivating immortality, cultivators can inhale and exhale spiritual qi to replenish their own consumption. Unless they encounter Spirit Rice or particularly delicious food, cultivators rarely eat.

Thus, the stomach becomes a redundant organ.

Gradually, they also lose their appetite, losing the joy of fullness.

But with the Void Stomach, Lu Xuanji feels his stomach growling, wanting to eat.

The desire for food and the impulse for meals return once more.

At the same time, the diet is also increasing.

One can eat Spirit Stones, Spiritual Ores, Spirit Medicine, Spirit Treasures, tree leaves, grass on the ground, and even dirt.

Except for not eating humans, everything in the world is edible.

Consuming everything, decomposing everything, all things turn into nutrients, nourishing the physical body, enhancing cultivation.

In terms of cultivation improvement, besides absorbing and exhaling spiritual qi like traditional cultivators, one can also directly eat to improve cultivation. Originally planning to improve one layer every twenty-five years, now it seems that it doesn’t need to take so long.

The Void Stomach is used to eat, to aid in cultivation, and this is the right path.

As for directly devouring and refining things, the power is quite impressive, but the corresponding drawbacks are large. In encountering powerful opponents, the stomach wall could be broken, potentially leading to instant demise.

"The Vertical Earth Golden Light is not only about speed but also has outstanding performance in breaking space confinement and array confinement. It seems that my understanding of this Supreme Divine Technique is still lacking!" Lu Xuanji pondered, starting to continue exploring the secrets of the mine.

A white spirit snake appearing here is in itself abnormal.

Continuing onward, reaching a position, a slight push reveals a flash of golden light.

The arm was numb from the shock on the spot.

"There is an array here, and according to its grade, it should be Fourth Grade. Non-Golden Core cultivators cannot break the array, but as time passes, the array’s power continues to weaken, and only Purple Mansion cultivators are needed to break it now!"

Lu Xuanji drew his Li Fire Sword and hacked forward.

Golden light flickered, resisting the sword qi, soon dissolving the sword qi’s presence.

One sword after another, striking continuously, and after striking eighteen times, the golden light shattered, and the stone wall was split apart.

Following the damaged stone wall, he entered within.

Inside, it opened wide, as if stepping into a new world.

Looking at the surroundings, it was clearly a cultivator’s cave mansion.

Judging by the dust on the ground, a long time has passed.

As for the white spirit snake, it seemed to escape from this cave mansion.

Walking about casually in the cave mansion.

Opened a stone door and was immediately stunned by the sight ahead.

He saw Spirit Stones piled up together, about ten meters high; how many Spirit Stones are there!

Lu Xuanji was dumbfounded.

Opened the Storage Bag but frowned as it couldn’t fit.

For the first time, realized that the Storage Bag seemed somewhat small.

Thinking of the Void Stomach, he directly stored them in his stomach.

Estimated roughly, about eight million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Struck rich.

Arriving at a stone table, there were two Storage Bags and a Jade Box placed on top.

Opening the first Storage Bag, found Spirit Stones with exquisite patterns, spiritual qi more abundant.

These were Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, about a hundred thousand of them.

Opened the second Storage Bag, containing a hundred Spirit Stones, but of Upper Grade,

Took a deep breath, opened the Jade Box.

Only one Spirit Stone inside.

But Lu Xuanji’s arm was trembling, as it was a Top-Grade Spirit Stone.

Click!

Closed the Jade Box again, but his heart was excited.

Low-Grade Spirit Stones, eight million;

Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, one hundred thousand;

Upper-Grade Spirit Stones, one hundred;

Top-Grade Spirit Stone, one piece.

Generally speaking, one Middle-Grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones. One Upper-Grade Spirit Stone equals one hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones. And one Top-Grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to one hundred Upper-Grade Spirit Stones.

But in fact, that’s not the case at all.

One Middle-Grade Spirit Stone can easily exchange for one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, but one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones cannot exchange for a Middle-Grade Spirit Stone.

In the Cultivation Immortality Realm, Spirit Stones are not only currency for cultivation but also resources for cultivation.

After reaching the Purple Mansion, cultivators absorbing Low-Grade Spirit Stones’ cultivation speed slows significantly; often Middle-Grade Spirit Stones are needed to enhance cultivation speed.

As for Upper-Grade Spirit Stones, they are often the trade currency and cultivation resource for Golden Core Nascent Souls.

Top-Grade Spirit Stones are exceedingly rare and can be used to break through major bottlenecks. Even if the spiritual qi within is exhausted, it can replenish naturally, the value is indescribably precious.

It is enough to entice Nascent Soul True Monarchs to take action, even to exterminate entire sects.

Only Nascent Soul True Monarchs are qualified to keep Top-Grade Spirit Stones, while other cultivators in possession become targets.

Quickly put away into the Storage Bag.

Yet still not safe, stored directly into the Void Stomach.

Came to a stone chamber and saw a pool in the center with three green lotuses within.

"Fourth-Grade Spirit Cleansing Lotus!"

Lu Xuanji trembled slightly, a look of joy flashing in his eyes.

On the path of cultivation, to pursue speed, it’s inevitable to take many elixirs, resulting in elixir poison embedding within the body.

Elixir Poison erodes the cultivator’s physique, slowing cultivation speed in later stages, increases bottlenecks, and heightens breakthrough difficulty. Without elixirs, there’s no present, let alone future possibilities.

The Spirit Cleansing Lotus can cleanse elixir poison within the body, capable of removing seven layers of elixir poison.

First-Grade and Second-Grade Spirit Cleansing Lotuses aren’t remarkable; however, Third-grade and Fourth-grade ones are extremely rare.

Third-Grade Spirit Cleansing Lotus benefits Purple Mansion cultivators.

Fourth-Grade Spirit Cleansing Lotus benefits Golden Core cultivators.

"This is supreme creation!"

Lu Xuanji thought carefully, delicately collecting them and storing them in a Jade Box for safekeeping.

Entering the bedroom, he saw broken clothes and tribulation ash on the Dao Platform.

About ten meters away from the Dao Platform, there was a Storage Bag.

Opened the Storage Bag, found more than ten Jade Scrolls inside.

Briefly flipped through, inside there were three cultivation techniques, five Divine Secret Techniques, an alchemy notes, and a personal diary.

Opened the personal diary, immediately a series of lights and shadows flashed, a man’s voice appeared, unveiling the cave mansion owner’s stories.

The owner of this cave mansion was titled True Monarch Han Yi.

True Monarch Han Yi, having cultivated to the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul, faced failure in breakthrough to Divinity Transformation, turning into tribulation ash on the spot.

The majority of resources in the cave mansion were used to purchase elixirs or spiritual objects to assist in breakthrough.

Thus, the cave mansion was empty, except for some worthless items.

"May the senior rest in peace!"

Lu Xuanji said, lighting an incense stick here.

After paying respects a few times, he began to scour through the cave mansion to ensure nothing was left behind before disappearing.
