Chapter 13

Eight thousand years ago, I had lost my treasure, the Spirit Locking Hairpin, to Doumu Yuanjun. Since then, I hadn't come to Shangqing Sky. This time, the frost flower I was growing on my chest had finally produced a few wisps of energy, so I hurried over to Doumu Yuanjun's seat to ask for the Soul Nourishing Lotus.

"Why is this God Lotus missing a petal?

A holy object is so fragile. What should I do? "

I sat cross-legged on the praying mat, staring at the Soul Nourishing Lotus and sighing. If I rushed over only to find that it was incomplete, the beautiful fairy in my arms would be in danger.

"We haven't seen each other for ten thousand years, but you're still the same. You've transcended the six worlds and didn't enter reincarnation. Are you happy?"

"Of course, I'm happy. Mortals grow old, get sick, and die. The Immortal Demon Wheel responds to the tribulation and transcends the mortal world. Isn't that great?"

"You used the warmth of your heart to raise this frost flower. You have to use your heart's blood to nourish her when she revives in the future. Do you understand?"

"It's just a few drops of my heart's blood. When have I been stingy? However, why does she have my hairpin on her head? I remember that I lost it to you. Why did I give it to someone else?

Did I give her the Yundan I refined for ten thousand years? "

"That's right.

However, I didn't give her this frost flower. I gave her the incomplete petal of the God Lotus. Speaking of which, it's your sin. Using your things to pay for it is the right path. "

I was dumbfounded for a moment. My sins?

How did you know?

After a few deductions, I understood most of the story. When I was discussing Zen with Doumu Yuanjun, I accidentally poured the Profound Clear Wine, which was burned with my blood, on the God Lotus. This kind of plant couldn't stand the high temperature, so a petal immediately fell off. This was a treasure that Doumu Yuanjun had carefully raised for hundreds of thousands of years. I was so shocked that I hurriedly cast a spell to protect her. Coincidentally, I helped her refine the Profound Clear Wine and cultivate a human body.

"Back then, I casually threw her to the lower world. I didn't expect that she would listen to Zen for so long in front of you. Her spirit root was outstanding."

I smiled embarrassedly. I didn't know what to say. "It's just that she should've been annihilated, but she got this good fortune. The tribulation she went through must've been very difficult. Even if you gave her the Spirit Locking Hairpin and Yundan, she wouldn't be able to reverse the situation."

The tribulation could not be avoided. Since ancient times, there had been many gods, demons, immortals, and Buddhas. But in the end, they were all annihilated by the tribulation. How could these worldly possessions help them in the slightest?

"The past is the past. There's nothing to talk about. It's a waste for your Soul Nurturing Lotus to remain empty. Why don't you nurture this pitiful flower? When she regains her human form, I'll take back my Yundan and Spirit Locking Hairpin."

I hesitated, but in the end, I decided to be thick-skinned and tell him my intention. Doumu Yuanjun smiled and pointed at the divine lotus with the Buddha's finger. In a split second, a golden light bloomed and the fragrance of the lotus filled the air. The thin and weak frost flower floated out and plunged into the lotus.

"Things that belong to you should be taken back. However, Yundan's ruthlessness is truly against the will of the heavens. Don't use it recklessly. This is an example. Don't repeat the same mistake."

"Of course."

I smiled. Holding my breath, I drove the spiritual power in my body back to my meridians and carefully drew out the pure blood from my heart.

"This should be enough for this month. After that, I'll make up for it month by month."

Doumu Yuanjun took out the jade bottle in front of his seat and collected the fresh blood.

"Chiling, when Jin Mi comes back to life, you will no longer be able to transcend. You will enter the six worlds and reincarnate. I only hope you won't regret it."

"I won't."

I put the Spirit Locking Hairpin in my hair.

"I'm not saving Jin Mi. I'm saving the Little White Dragon."
