The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Chapter 520 The Crybaby Spirit

Lotus Pond is off-limits to those who have not reached the Mahayana stage.

This was an unprecedented exception, allowing disciples to enter, let alone people from other regions.

After the emperor ordered that the whole story be clarified, he said indignantly, "Are invitations also divided into different grades?"

"They're so high and mighty, how come they let demons run rampant and become a plague?"

Yun Yici closed the invitation: "It's not worth it to act out of spite. I should still go, just to see what it's like."

As for the Green Lotus Seed, if we cannot participate in the competition openly and honestly, then we can find other ways to do so.

Yao Chi agreed, saying, "That makes sense."

"Sect Leader Yun, please come with me. We can look after each other then."

The emperor abruptly stood up: "So, Xiao Ci is going alone?"

Helpless, Yao Chi had no choice but to explain in detail: "The Lotus Pond is the name given to the pure energy absorbed by the blue lotus of heaven and earth; it is not an actual pond."

"Our physical bodies cannot reach it; only our divine souls can go to the lotus pond."

Yun Yici: "So that's how it is."

"There are many talented people in Lianchi. I am worried that the Emperor has summoned you few to go. It would be better to stay in Qianyuan Sect."

Shen Huaichuan was also a half-step ascension expert. Back then, he twisted the candle until it reached the neck and imprisoned the imperial edict in the demon bell.

Yun Yici still feels lingering fear when she thinks about it now.

In the minds of human cultivators, it is not uncommon for mythical beasts to serve as servants.

Who knows, some idiot might think that the imperial edict and the others are "ownerless" and try to take them in as guardian beasts or something else.

She went there for two reasons: first, to investigate the method of cultivating both immortality and demonhood, and second, to obtain the Green Lotus Seed; she wasn't going to give away any opportunities to others.

The imperial edict immediately deflated.

When he first went to the human realm, the time he met Yun Yici, he asked Li Shao to act as his servant because he had heard about the power of human cultivators.

Now, several hundred years later, he feels he is more powerful than before, but he still cannot do whatever he wants.

If only he were as powerful as his parents now.

After Yao Chi left, Shen Huaichuan took out the Mirror of Reflection from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Yici.

He instructed, "Remember to bring the Mirror of Reflection."

"We can communicate through the mirror then."

"If you encounter danger, you can escape through the Mirror of Reflection."

Before they knew it, the day for sending out the invitations arrived. Yun Yici had been wondering how the Lotus Pond received cultivators.

That morning, the invitation unexpectedly glowed faintly, and a faint fragrance of lotus blossoms filled the entire courtyard.

Yun Yici tucked the mirror into her sleeve and reached out to open the invitation.

The moment it was opened, a swaying pink and white lotus flower unexpectedly bloomed on the smooth and gorgeous paper.

The delicate, pale pink and white petals unfold layer by layer, revealing the yellow stamens inside.

The branches are dark green and sturdy, and below them is a patch of illusion rooted in duckweed invitations.

As the lotus stamens fall, the tender green lotus seedpod in the center begins to appear.

Above is a small, exquisitely beautiful child sitting in meditation with eyes closed.

As if disturbed by the outside world, he opened his eyes and jumped up from the lotus seedpod: "Are you Yun Yici?"

"I am the spirit of the lotus pond."

"Come, infuse your spiritual power into the lotus."

"Only after verifying your identity can I guide you to the lotus pond."

I'm familiar with the spirit of the artifact, but this is the first time I've encountered a spirit of the object.

She had read in a book before that ordinary objects used by mortals for a long time could develop a soul when infused with deep and sincere emotions.

This is the origin of the folk legend that broken old objects can ward off disasters and protect their owners.

Yun Yici did not rush to inject spiritual power, but instead chatted with the spirit.

"Fellow Immortal, this is my first time meeting a spirit creature. May I ask your name?"

The spirit wrinkled its nose and said in a childish voice, "I have to guide many people at the same time. If I'm late, I'll get scolded."

Yun Yici inadvertently extracted some information.

It seems that the disciples selected from other sects also went to the Lotus Pond through invitations and guidance from spirits.

Yun Yici apologized and then quickly poured her spiritual energy into the lotus flower.

This lotus flower is like a bottomless pit!

She had thought that injecting a trace of spiritual energy would be enough to confirm her identity, but now, the lotus flower in front of her was frantically absorbing her spiritual energy!

The illusory stem beneath the lotus grew increasingly full, until it almost solidified in the end.

The lotus flowers, blooming in full glory, began to swell, their slender stems almost unable to support them.

Needless to say, the lotus seedpod inside the lotus flower is also a must-see.

Previously, the creatures could stretch out their arms and legs on it, and now even the larger creatures can dance on it!

The spirit squinted its eyes in enjoyment: "Your spiritual power is so pure. This is the first time I've ever felt such powerful and comfortable spiritual power."

"It's like... the endless expanse of heaven and earth."

Isn't that obvious?

If it were someone else, at the rate he was sucking, they would probably have been drained dry long ago!

Yun Yici's expression changed slightly; she realized she couldn't pull her hand back!

Without hesitation, she used her unrestrained left hand to transform the wind into a blade and attack the lotus flower.

The delicate petals were injured by the wind blades, and the spirit cried out "Ouch!" before squatting down with its knees drawn up and sobbing.

Yun Yici looked up at the sky speechlessly: "No, it was me who was sucked in, what are you crying about?"

The spirit looked up at her with its big, watery eyes: "Can't you let me have one more bite?"
