Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Picking up the cracked Enlightenment Lotus Seed from the ground, it had lost its Spiritual Charm and had become a mundane object.

Su Jie fiddled with it for a moment and found a shriveled, pitch-black hard object inside the seed.

In fact, the lotus seed was a complete fruit, with the seed inside once the husk was peeled away.

"This Enlightenment Lotus Seed is useless now,"

Ning Xinyue didn't understand Su Jie's actions and reminded him.

"That's not necessarily the case,"

Su Jie took something out of his Storage Bag.

It was a handful of pale yellow soil, with a luster more dazzling than pure gold; it shimmered with a soft glow, its Spiritual Radiance surging like the tide, with the principles of the Five Elements intertwining within, forming a Formation.

This was the soil Su Jie had dug from beneath the Exotic Treasure, the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus, known as Five Elements Spiritual Soil. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

This type of soil possessed an incredible power of creation, not only promoting the rapid growth of Spirit Plants but also possessing an extremely strong vitality and Spiritual Charm of its own.

Legend had it that people who had died and were buried beneath the Five Elements Spiritual Soil had miraculously come back to life.

The amount of Five Elements Spiritual Soil in Su Jie's hands wasn't much, barely a bowlful.

Yet in Su Jie's view, its preciousness was not much less than that of the Enlightenment Lotus Seed.

This was the Five Elements Spiritual Soil, famed for the saying, "Better to have a pinch of Five Elements soil than ten thousand treasures in a vault."

The handful of Five Elements Spiritual Soil that Su Jie had could definitely sell for a sky-high price if put on the market.

Of course, it was more likely to attract robbery, even the Secret Realm Elders would be unable to resist their greed.

After all, soil that could grow Exotic Treasures was obviously foreseeably valuable.

"Are you going to revive the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus? Can you do it?"

Ning Xinyue also became interested and watched Su Jie's movements with wide eyes.

"That's precisely my intention,"

Su Jie took out a Glazed Bottle and put the Five Elements Spiritual Soil into it.

Then, holding the Nine-grade Holy Lotus Seed, he buried it into the Five Elements Spiritual Soil.

Once the seed was buried, there was a change on the surface of the Five Elements Spiritual Soil.

The interconnected Five Elements Formation within began to operate automatically, with flashes of golden light bringing creation back to life, and waves of water rippling.

The Qi of the Five Elements circulated, nourishing everything that was gestating within.

The Nine-grade Sacred Lotus seed, originally shriveled, began to show a slight change.

"Doesn't it seem a bit plumper?"

Ning Xinyue's eyes widened, observing the half-exposed Nine-grade Sacred Lotus Seed sticking out of the Five Elements Spiritual Soil, much plumper than before.

Could it really have been revived by Su Jie, promising the future harvest of an Innate Spiritual Object?

"It's not that simple,"

Su Jie's brow furrowed, sensing that something was still missing for the Holy Lotus Seed to truly come back to life.

Suddenly, Su Jie thought of something and took out the White Bone Tree from his Storage Bag.

The miniaturized White Bone Tree was only the size of a palm, this relic was also a living being capable of free growth.

Su Jie tried burying the White Bone Tree into the Five Elements Spiritual Soil.

In an instant, the luster of the Five Elements Spiritual Soil grew even more dazzling, and upon the White Bone Tree, Spiritual Power erupted like a volcano, resembling the great sun across the sky, releasing vast amounts of Spiritual Energy.

Because the White Bone Tree possessed the ability to absorb a wide range of Spiritual Energy from the heavens and the earth's veins, it could transform and purify them for cultivation.

When Su Jie placed the White Bone Tree into the Five Elements Spiritual Soil, a wondrous chemical reaction immediately occurred.

The Spiritual Charm within the Five Elements Spiritual Soil was ceaselessly absorbed, and after being transformed and purified by the White Bone Tree, it turned into drops of glittering and translucent Pure Spirit Water, which condensed into droplets on the branches and leaves of the tree and then fell, landing on the Holy Lotus Seed.

Rustle rustle.

This seed, long parched, quickly transformed upon being nourished by the Pure Spirit Water, as a hint of greenness surfaced and sprouted, growing a slender and clean sprout with two cotyledons.

Boom!

Outside the cave, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds. Purple Heavenly Thunder, golden Divine Thunder, and white Immortal Thunder flashed, as the birth of an Innate Spiritual Object caused an extraordinary phenomenon between heaven and earth.

The Nine-grade Sacred Lotus, nurtured in the Five Elements Spiritual Soil, also manifested endless marvels.

It was as if the Tao Heavenly Sound was resonating, with visions of Qilins, True Spirits, and Phoenixes circling around, accompanied by the sound of clashing swords and the deep tolling of bells, like the sonorous clanging of myriad divine soldiers and weapons.

As the lush green sprout emerged, the room instantly entered early spring, filled with fragrance and a flowing of Spiritual Liquid, which made one feel vigorous just by smelling it, as if bathing in a hot spring, bringing an indescribable comfort and relaxation.

"It's really alive?"

Ning Xinyue's mouth gaped open in disbelief. Su Jie had actually done it, he had brought an Innate Spiritual Object, the Nine-grade Holy Lotus, back to life.

"I really am a genius."

A smile crept up on the corners of Su Jie's mouth as he looked at the germinated seed, his heart unable to contain the surging excitement.

This was an Innate Spiritual Object; once he grew it himself, possessing the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus in hand and refining it into a Treasure would surely allow him to prevail tremendously.

With just a single Enlightenment Lotus Seed from the Nine-grade Holy Lotus, he could obtain formidable Divine Skills.

One could hardly imagine the might of a complete Nine-grade Sacred Lotus.

And now the newly born Nine-grade Sacred Lotus was already showing extraordinary signs; just being close to it, one could feel a cleansing of body and soul. Under the roaring Tao Heavenly Sound, there was an enhancement in the understanding of all things.

"Hard work pays off! Heaven truly doesn't let down those who strive; although I didn't obtain a full-grown Nine-grade Sacred Lotus, acquiring a sapling compensates for my wounded heart."

Su Jie smiled very happily, this unexpected gain exciting him even more than obtaining the Enlightenment Lotus Seed.

Standing nearby, Ning Xinyue couldn't help but speak, "You're getting happy too soon. The maturity of such Innate Spiritual Objects is counted in hundreds or even thousands of years. It's possible that this Holy Lotus won't have matured even by the time you die of old age."

Hearing Ning Xinyue's sour tone, Su Jie flicked the girl's smooth forehead.

"You needn't worry about that; I have the patience to wait. Little missy, if you stick with me, I may benevolently allow you to experience the mystery of this Exotic Treasure."

"Ow!"

Ning Xinyue glared with her big watery eyes and retorted in contest, "As if! Who would want to follow you? I could get an Exotic Treasure like this any time I want."

As she spoke, she took out the Tianxi Eight Diagrams Plate, boasting, "See this? I have the Tianxi Eight Diagrams Plate. Since we managed to find the Nine-grade Holy Lotus this time, who's to say we won't find other Innate Spiritual Objects next time?"

"You think Innate Spiritual Objects are cabbages, that you can just find them whenever you say so?"

Su Jie scoffed, not taking her seriously.

Indeed, the Tianxi Eight Diagrams Plate was powerful, but Exotic Treasures were exceedingly rare in the world, and even if they existed, it was unlikely to always be so fortunate as to come across them.

"I'll prove it to you," Ning Xinyue declared, puffing her cheeks out like a little chipmunk.

Seeing Su Jie showing off with the Sacred Lotus sapling, she was determined not to tolerate it. She had to obtain an Exotic Treasure that was just as good, to make Su Jie envious and resentful.
