C14 White Jade Lotus

Zhou Xingchen took out the firewood he had prepared earlier and started a bonfire. Although the temperature of the snowy peak was very low, to an Aurous Core stage cultivator, this sort of cold was not worth mentioning. Out of habit, Zhou Xingchen lit a bonfire. He sat down cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation, restoring the true essence consumed by the day's Imperial Sword Technique.

The Jindan continued to spin within his dantian, and the golden glow it had been emitting had dimmed by a lot. Only a weak yellow light could be seen. As the Jindan continued to rotate, the spiritual energy from the outside world started to gather and enter Zhou Xingchen's cave, dissolving into his body continuously. As the Jindan continued to rotate, the spiritual energy from the outside world continued to gather and enter Zhou Xingchen's cave, dissolving into his body.

The spirit energy in the cave continued to flow. Suddenly, the spirit energy in the cave stopped flowing towards Zhou Xingchen. Zhou Xingchen's aurous core had returned to its usual shiny golden state, and it seemed to be even stronger than before.

Zhou Xingchen opened his eyes and saw that the sky was already slightly lit up. The bonfire in the cave had been extinguished, leaving only a few carbon rods. Zhou Xingchen looked at the time. It was only five in the morning. Perhaps it was because the mountain was covered with white snow, reflecting the light. At this moment, the peak of the mountain was brightly lit.

Zhou Xingchen released his Spiritual Awareness to examine the situation within the snow valley. Last night, Zhou Xingchen had been extremely tired. After finding the cave, he had only checked the situation in the cave, confirming that there were no mountain animals living in the cave. He hurriedly set up a defensive formation and entered a state of cultivation.

Zhou Xingchen's Spiritual Sense continued to extend; 500 meters, 1000 meters, 2000 meters. He had finally reached Zhou Xingchen's limit of 2500 meters. On a cliff that was about 2500 meters away from Zhou Xing, Zhou Xingchen discovered what he had been looking for. A large patch of Heavenly Mountain Lotuses, each of which was even larger than the one he had found yesterday.

The cliff was already at 6000 meters above sea level, and the snow lilies growing at this height were very expensive.

Zhou Xingchen excitedly retracted his Spiritual Sense and flew towards the cliff.

The flying sword's speed was extremely fast. Before long, Zhou Xingchen was already standing on top of the cliff. The temperature of the cliff was very low and the spirit energy was abundant. The snow on the ground had already been frozen into solid ice. On the other side of the cliff, there was a large area of white and yellowish snow lotuses.

Zhou Xingchen roughly estimated the number. There were at least 500 snow lotuses, and they were all very large. Even the smallest snow lotus flower had a diameter of fifty-five centimeters, while the largest was at least sixty centimeters.

Zhou Xingchen quickly stepped forward and carefully plucked a few snow lotuses according to the collection method he had learned from the Internet. Luckily, he had a storage ring, otherwise, just storing these snow lotuses would have damaged Zhou Xingchen's brain.

"Seeing that the snow lotuses have been put on special display, Zhou Xingchen was in a very good mood." What good luck! It was only the second day and he had already found such a large area of snow lotuses. Ah, now we don't have to worry about money anymore. So many snow lotuses should be able to sell for quite a bit of money, right? " Zhou Xingchen thought to himself.

The snow lotuses on the cliff had all been picked up by Zhou Xingchen. He calculated that there were a total of 765 lotuses, of which 3 had already been thanked and given birth to lotus seeds. If he sold all of them, they would be worth a lot.

"Mm, what flower is that?" The instant Zhou Xingchen finished his collection and stood up to stretch, Zhou Xingchen saw a white flower growing on the mountain wall about 100 meters away from the cliff. The flower diameter was not considered large, only about 30 centimeters. The body of the flower would flash with white light from time to time, making the petals that were already sparkling and translucent appear extremely precious and extraordinary.

Although Zhou Xingchen was about 100 meters away from the cliff, he could clearly see the patterns and dew on the white flower petal. Zhou Xingchen was certain that this was not a snow lotus, but something similar to the cultivation world's rare jade white lotus. However, the growth conditions of the Jade White Immortal Lotus were extremely harsh. It had to grow in an area that was extremely rich in spirit energy, and in a place that was extremely cold. However, due to the Earth's own spiritual energy becoming thinner and thinner, even though Tianshan was considered to be rich in spiritual energy, it was impossible for it to reach the growth conditions of the Jade White Immortal Lotus.

Zhou Xingchen's Imperial Sword floated beside the white flower, releasing his Spiritual Sense to examine the surrounding rocks. Aside from the rock at the base of the white flower, which had some spiritual energy to it, the rest of it were ordinary rocks. The only difference between the two was that a faint spiritual energy was flowing from the mountain wall towards the root of the white flower. It was definitely not enough to use that sliver of spiritual energy to support the growth of the Jade White Lotus. The white flower itself contained a tremendous amount of energy. Zhou Xingchen understood that this pearl white flower was most likely the White Jade Lotus, and for some reason, this pearl white lotus grew on this ordinary cliff.

Zhou Xingchen took out a small sword and carefully dug out the rock along with the flower before placing it into the Heavenly Rings.

"Caw." "Where did this stinky brat come from, put down my Celestial Lotus." Just as Zhou Xingchen put away the Immortal Lotus, he felt a thread of energy approaching him. Zhou Xingchen sucked in his true energy and the flying sword brought his body down with it, dodging the incoming force.

"Extra, exorbitant, exorbitant." The three white feathers pierced deeply into the stone wall where Zhou Xingchen had just been.

Zhou Xingchen turned around and saw a gigantic snow-white snow eagle. Other than the snow eagle, there was no one else.

"Which fellow daoist is here? Can we meet up?" Zhou Xingchen cupped his hands together and said.

"Where did this stinky brat come from? He actually dared to steal my lotus?" The Giant Snow Eagle flapped its wings and spoke in human language.

Zhou Xingchen, who had never seen a demonic beast before, suddenly looked at the snow eagle that was speaking in human language. Surprised, he asked, "Are you the one who's talking?"

"Is it really that strange that your Master Engraving can speak? Have you never seen a monster before when you're an ignorant kid?" Master Condor is already in the middle Aurous Core stage, a mere Core Formation brat like you dares to steal my Celestial Lotus? " The snow eagle stared fixedly at Zhou Xingchen as it spoke.

Zhou Xingchen finally noticed the White Eagle's cultivation level. In Mingyuan's inherited memories, there were many explanations regarding the demonic beasts. All living things in this world were sentient. Animals, plants, or even a piece of rock, under certain circumstances, could all undergo long-term cultivation to escape the shackles of life and death, which was to become demonic cultivators.

Like cultivators, Demonic Cultivators are divided into twelve stages: Radiance, Opening Light, Fusion, Ling Ji, Jindan, Demon Soul, Outgoing, Soul Division, Body Fusion, Tribulation, and Dacha." In addition to transcending tribulation and grand completion, every stage is divided into three stages: front, middle and back.

Ordinary Demonic cultivators could take human form at the Demonic Soul stage. The majority of Demonic cultivators were cultivators who had entered the path of Dao through the use of plants and animals that mistakenly ate treasures of heaven and earth. Most of these Demonic cultivators didn't have proper cultivation methods, which was why they lacked the use of magical techniques and were even rarer to find. However, most of them had their own innate abilities. There were many types of these talents, and there were also some who possessed extremely strong karmic powers.

"Brother Engraved, you said that the immortal lotus flower was you, do you have any proof?" I think no one would give it to me when they say that it's his after I get it. " Zhou Xingchen said.

Zhou Xingchen wanted to reason with someone, and if he could not do it, then he would not do it. He was in the early Aurous Core stage, not as powerful as the white eagle, but he had a flying sword and magical techniques. The white eagle had speed, as well as the feather attack. Although he did not know what its innate ability was, Zhou Xingchen was confident that he would not lose against the white condor.

"I have been waiting on this cliff for over a hundred years. I have been waiting for the Immortal Lotus to mature. When I eat the Immortal Lotus, I will definitely be able to directly cross over from the later stages of the Aurous Core stage and enter the Nascent Soul stage. At that time, I would have the body of a half-immortal and would have limitless life. As long as you reach the apocalypse, you can leave this spiritual earth thin. This time, I only had to leave for a day before you took advantage of me and stole my Celestial Lotus. " The Snow Condor's tone was quite gentle.

The snow eagle was very clear that it would be very difficult to retrieve the lotus by force. From Zhou Xingchen's movement technique of dodging the three flying feathers just now, it could be seen that he had an unstoppable cultivation technique. In addition to the mid-tier flying sword beneath Zhou Xingchen's feet, the only way for him to obtain victory in battle was through his own talent, the ability of heavenly lightning.

"If Brother Gui does not have any evidence to prove that the Immortal Lotus is yours, then I will not give it to you for no reason." Zhou Xingchen could see from the white condor's words that it was extremely difficult for it to give up on the lotus.

The snow eagle was very angry. This snow lotus was an ownerless item to begin with. After it unintentionally discovered the snow lotus 100 years ago, it had been guarding it the entire time. Quite a few demon beasts and cultivators came by this time, but they were all repelled by it due to its heavenly lightning. He had originally thought that the lightning that those people had given him would no longer rob him of his lotus. Who would have thought that someone else would beat her to it just a day after she had left? Where did this evidence come from? Even though it was at the Aurous Core stage, other than its white feathers, it had nothing else.

"Brat, I do not wish to harm you. Quickly, take out my Immortal Lotus. Else, I will let you have a taste of my talent, the might of the divine lightning." The snow eagle was getting impatient, circling above Zhou Xingchen, not letting out any long cries.

"You don't want to hurt me? Go to hell." Flying Feather was still on the mountain wall.

He never thought that the innate ability of this Condor Demon was Heavenly Lightning. Presumably, it wouldn't be so easy to kill it. Could it be that he had to use the Spirit Accumulation Sword? Zhou Xingchen was a bit hesitant, as if someone nearby had discovered the high grade Spirit Accumulation Sword. He was only at the early Aurous Core stage, it was hard to ensure that no one would steal or kill him.

Zhou Xingchen was now slightly regretting that he hadn't refined a few more Magic Treasures in the past. Now, other than the Jadefeather Sword, the only other weapon he could use was the Spirit Accumulation Sword.

"Since Brother Shi has no proof, then I will not keep you company." Zhou Xingchen acted as if he was about to leave.

"Cough, cough." A bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck towards Zhou Xingchen. Zhou Xingchen's flying sword trembled and appeared five meters away.

"If you want to leave, then do so as long as you want to. Do you really think you can leave just like that?" The gigantic snow eagle stared fiercely at Zhou Xingchen as it spoke.

White snowflakes began to float down from the sky. As the two meter long wings of the snow eagle flapped, tornadoes began to appear around the snow eagle, churning the snow in the air and forming rotating pillars of snow.

Zhou Xingchen's heart trembled when he saw the scene before him. It seemed that this snow eagle could not only only only use heavenly thunder, but the harmonics of the wind were also extraordinary. It seemed that it could only use extraordinary methods.

Zhou Xingchen had also considered returning the Immortal Lotus to the snow eagle. Although the Immortal Lotus was very valuable, from the words of the snow eagle, it was possible that the snow lotus could easily allow Zhou Xingchen to reach the Nascent Soul stage. This was not enough to attract Zhou Xingchen. From the inherited memories of his Master, it could be seen that cultivation was very important to the stability of his foundation, especially before the Nascent Soul stage. If his foundation was unstable, then the true essence within his body would be much less pure and solid. When he was undergoing his tribulation, his true essence would be much less pure and solid. Therefore, Zhou Xingchen would not choose to enter the nascent soul stage through external means.

If he gave in just like that, he would return the Celestial Lotus to the snow eagle. It was very possible that it would leave a shadow in the bottom of his heart, and if he wasn't careful, this shadow would turn into an inner demon. This was also something that Zhou Xingchen did not want to see.

Run? Not good, the Snow Hawk's ability to fly was very good. No matter where he ran, he wouldn't be able to shake it off. Moreover, Fang Shaohua was still at the foot of the mountain. If the Snow Condor were to discover Fang Shaohua's tracks, it would most likely attack him in anger. Fang Shaohua was still in the fusion phase, so he wouldn't be able to block an attack of the middle phase of the Aurous Core stage.

"Let's fight." Zhou Xingchen made up his mind.

"Then let's have a fight." Zhou Xing's Imperial Sword Technique flew to the side and pulled away from the snow eagle. Both of his hands formed a seal.

"Cough, cough." From the top of the gigantic Snow Condor's head, a flash of lightning also appeared and struck the Snow Condor's white head.

"Brat, today, not only will I get my Celestial Lotus back, I will also kill you." Snow Condor had not expected Zhou Xing Chen to also know lightning techniques, and was caught off guard for a while. The snow eagle became angry and flapped its wings. Over a hundred white flying feathers flew out from the two wings towards Zhou Xingchen.

When Zhou Xingchen saw the numerous white feathers charging towards him, he did not panic. Instead, he placed another seal in front of him, forming a white curtain of fire. He then flew to the top of a cliff and held the Jadefeather Sword in his hand.

The white curtain of fire was formed by the three types of true fire produced by Zhou Xingchen during his Aurous Core stage. The temperature was extremely high. Although the white feathers had been refined by the snow eagle, they were still feathers. They hadn't even reached the strength of a low-grade magic tool. The fire curtain did not stop the white Flying Feather from moving forward. Instead, it gave each of them a spark. All of the Flying Feathers were on fire, and before they could reach Zhou Xingchen, they had already been burnt to ashes.

"Brother Condor, this Lesser Five Elements technique of mine is not bad, right?" He had just used the Minor Five Elements Seal Technique that Zhou Xingchen had learned from the « Canghai Sword Scripture », the Golden Lightning Seal and the Fire Spirit Seal.

"How much fur do you have left? Just give it a try. If you want to burn off all your fur, I'm willing to help you." Zhou Xingchen laughed heartily.

Zhou Xingchen wanted to anger the snow eagle. As long as the Snow Eagle's square inch was disrupted, his chances of victory would be higher. He could kill it without using the Spirit Accumulation Sword.
