"System, you helped me this far, you might as well go all the way!"
Hao Ren said in his heart to the "System".
"Since you mentioned that the Nine-Rank Golden Lotus was cultivated by powerful Buddhist beings, why don't you teach me the specific cultivation method!"
Seeing the "System Remark," Hao Ren's perspective immediately broadened.
That's right!
If "Buddhism" can cultivate "Nine-Rank Golden Lotuses," why can't I?
As a "good man of China," Hao Ren's passive talent for "farming" was maxed out from birth, reaching the "God-tier" level.
Given a piece of land, a Chinese person can make a fortune in minutes.
Indeed, since Hao Ren transmigrated, his performance has lived up to his "God-tier passive skill" of "farming."
He first cultivated six "Sage Dragon's Tooth Rice Trees."
Later, he successively planted "Phoenix Tree Sapling," "Acacia Sapling"...
Oh, and also the "Three Auspicious Treasures."
"Ginseng Baby," "Lingzhi Baby," and "He Shou Wu Baby."
These three medicinal herbs were originally just ordinary, common herbs with no divine properties.
Hao Ren, on a whim, wanted to refine pills. He asked the monkey to find some Chinese medicinal herbs in the mountains. After several months, the monkey found only these three herbs.
With these three herbs, he couldn't even refine "Liu Wei Di Huang Wan," let alone "immortal pills."
Hao Ren was both angry and helpless, so he temporarily planted the three herbs in the cave.
Then, under the boost of the "God-tier Farming Skill," the three medicinal herbs began their "miraculous journey" of defying fate.
First, "Heaven gives birth to water," then "Superb Spirit Spring Eye," followed by "Palm Heaven Bottle diluted solution," and later the "primordial energy" emanated from the "Phoenix Tree Sapling" permeated them...
With so many incredibly powerful "good things" serving the three medicinal herbs in turn, their medicinal power rapidly broke through limits, reaching ten thousand years.
After reaching ten thousand years, the three medicinal herbs, no, at this point, they should be called the "Three Auspicious Treasures."
The "Three Auspicious Treasures" developed sentience and possessed self-awareness.
They learned to call Hao Ren "Daddy" and also learned some simple human languages, including but not limited to, "pa pa pa..." "jie jie jie..."
Hao Ren also liked these three lively fellows, and the daily "Palm Heaven Bottle diluted solution" was supplied punctually.
How powerful was the "Palm Heaven Bottle Spirit Liquid," containing the "divine power of creation"? Even the diluted "diluted solution," after countless times of dilution, was enough to make the "Three Auspicious Treasures" grow rapidly.
Currently, the "Three Auspicious Treasures" are on the verge of reaching a hundred thousand years of medicinal power. They have also completed their physical transformation, grown limbs, and can move within a small range.
Hao Ren is very much looking forward to what miraculous changes the "Three Auspicious Treasures" will undergo when they reach a hundred thousand years.
Ahem, getting sidetracked, back to the main topic.
In short, Hao Ren believes he has a great "farming talent." As long as he gets the method for cultivating the "Nine-Rank Golden Lotus," he can cultivate patches of "Nine-Rank Golden Lotuses" in his cave, just like he cultivated "Nine-Dragon Pattern Grass."
Then, he can mass-produce "Postnatal Spirit Treasures," which would be incredibly satisfying!
Just as Hao Ren was imagining his wonderful days sitting amidst countless "Nine-Rank Golden Lotuses," transforming the entire cave into a "sea of flowers," the system responded.
[Ding! The Buddhist method for cultivating the "Nine-Rank Golden Lotus" and the spiritual incantation are as follows...]
[Ding! System Special Remark: The Buddhist cultivation of the "Nine-Rank Golden Lotus" requires the consumption of a large amount of "Merit Power." Conservatively estimated, cultivating one "Nine-Rank Golden Lotus" requires one trillion points of "Merit Power."]
When Hao Ren heard the first "System Prompt," he was a little puzzled.
Oh, why is the system so "generous" today, actually providing the "spiritual incantation for planting" without reservation.
Well, the system's awareness is good; it deserves praise!
However, when Hao Ren heard the second "System Prompt," his face immediately fell.
Damn it!
No wonder the system was so "generous" today. It was gloating!
The system knew that Hao Ren absolutely could not cultivate the "Nine-Rank Golden Lotus" according to the Buddhist method, which is why it was so generous in readily providing the "spiritual incantation for planting."
According to the Buddhist method, cultivating one "Nine-Rank Golden Lotus" requires one trillion "Merit Power."
A full trillion "Merit Power"!
That's almost enough to condense ten "Merit Golden Bodies"!
It's simply insane!
Only "Buddhism," such a wealthy sect, would be willing to waste "Merit Power" so extravagantly.
Hao Ren was extremely depressed.
It seemed his endeavor to cultivate the "Nine-Rank Golden Lotus" was doomed to fail.
At this moment, an unexpected change occurred!
The "Golden Page" flickered slightly, emitting a layer of golden light.
The "Nine-Rank Golden Lotus," as if summoned by a "domineering CEO," trembled violently, broke free from Hao Ren's palm, and flew towards the "Golden Page."
The "Nine-Rank Golden Lotus" landed beneath the "Golden Page," incredibly obedient, like the most loyal pet, carrying the "Golden Page" and slowly flying towards the "Superb Spirit Spring Eye."
This...
Hao Ren watched the scene with great interest.
His intuition told him that the "Golden Page" was up to something.
Hao Ren had no intention of interfering.
The "Golden Page" was connected to Hao Ren's mind. It would never harm Hao Ren. On the contrary, its "scheming" would surely be beneficial to Hao Ren. So, he would just wait and see!
Soon, the "Golden Page" urged the "Nine-Rank Golden Lotus" to land in the "Superb Spirit Spring Eye."
The "Golden Page" trembled again, emitting a layer of golden spiritual light.
This time, the golden spiritual light was not directed at the "Nine-Rank Golden Lotus," but towards the "Eastern Star Chart," the "Golden Page's" old neighbor.
The "Eastern Star Chart" was originally a renowned "Innate Spirit Treasure."
Later, the "Eastern Star Chart" was shattered, and all seven "Innate Stars" were lost, turning it into a "crippled treasure."
Since the "Eastern Star Chart" followed Hao Ren, its luck had turned around.
In a short time, Hao Ren re-collected four "Innate Stars," helping the "Eastern Star Chart" recover more than half of its power.
Currently, the "Eastern Star Chart" has regained a bit of the aura of an "Innate Spirit Treasure."
Li Xiaoyao, Ye Qiye, and others went to the "Great Xin Imperial Capital" to search for the remaining three "Innate Stars." As long as they can retrieve them, and the "Eastern Star Chart" regathers all seven "Innate Stars," it will be able to restore its full might and relive the glory of an "Innate Spirit Treasure"!
Prior to this, Hao Ren had been placing the "Eastern Star Chart" in the "Superb Spirit Spring Eye" for nurturing. It had been neighbors with the "Golden Page" for a long time.
