Chapter 68: Red Lotus
Zhou Xin frowned when she heard this, and said, "Xiaobai, I know that the Lin family is not easy to deal with, so I'm really embarrassed to affect you like this......"
Su Qiubai smiled and said, "Sister Xin, I'm going to be angry when you say that, what is the relationship between the two of us?" Is it necessary to say such things? β
Zhou Xin's heart warmed when she heard this, but the more Su Qiubai said this, the more guilty she felt in her heart, although Su Qiubai volunteered to help her, but she couldn't accept it with peace of mind.
"By the way, Sister Xin, you can show me the red box again, it's nothing anyway, I'll study it, what is the treasure of that thing, and it makes the Lin family pay so much attention to it." Su Qiubai said.
What can make an ancient martial arts family like the Lin family attach so much importance is certainly not an ordinary thing, Su Qiubai couldn't help but have a strong interest in that box.
"Well, I'll go get it." Zhou Xin nodded, and after a while, she brought the box and put it on the coffee table in the living room.
Su Qiubai stared at the box, only to see that there was a red brilliance circulating on the surface of the box at this moment, and the light emitted by those complicated lines was even brighter, as if it contained some important information.
Su Qiubai put the box in his hand, turned over and looked at it carefully, this time Su Qiubai finally made a new discovery, Su Qiubai found an extremely thin keyhole at the bottom of this box, this keyhole happened to be on the eye of a dragon carved above the box, if it wasn't for Su Qiubai's careful observation, he wouldn't have been able to detect this keyhole at all, it was too thin, and it was difficult to detect even with the naked eye of ordinary people.
Since the keyhole was discovered, it meant that there was a breakthrough, Su Qiubai was overjoyed, and pressed his finger on the jade box, injecting a breath of true qi.
Su Qiubai's true qi drove straight into this keyhole, and then, only to hear the sound of "pop", the sound of the mechanism loosening came, and then the lid of this jade box popped open on its own.
"It's on!" Zhou Xin exclaimed in surprise when she saw this, and poked her head out curiously.
I saw a dry plant lying in this box, this plant resembles a lotus, but it is a little different from ordinary lotus flowers, because it is blood-red all over, although it is now dry, but it is still red as if it is about to drip blood, you can imagine what it looked like when it was still alive.
"What is this? Is this a lotus? Zhou Xin on the side looked at this thing in surprise, she had never seen such a blood-red lotus, and the petals of this lotus were larger than ordinary lotus, but the edge of the lace was black.
"This is the Red Lotus." Although Su Qiubai's expression was indifferent at the moment, his gaze at this thing couldn't be suppressed.
Because he knows the preciousness of this thing, even a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng is far less than the value of this thing...... In fact, this thing is fundamentally priced by the market, and for those who practice martial arts, this thing is tantamount to an immortal herb elixir.
Su Qiubai had never seen this thing before, but he had seen a record of this thing in the ancient books, it was called Red Lotus, it was a plant that condensed the essence of heaven and earth, and it could only grow in places where the aura was strong, if a person who practiced qi took this thing, his cultivation would definitely progress by leaps and bounds, as for what Cheng DΓΉ had advanced by leaps and bounds, Su Qiubai didn't know, after all, he had never seen this thing, even when his old man broke through to the ground level, it was also thanks to the credit of a 10,000-year-old mountain ginseng...... And this thing is even more powerful than the 10,000-year-old mountain ginseng, and the ancient book says that this thing can only grow in a place with a bitter cold climate, and it must be a place with strong spiritual energy...... Its growth requirements are so tricky, so the number is naturally very small, so even those ancient martial arts families covet this thing and can't get it.
Now Su Qiubai finally understands why the Lin family is so concerned about this box...... Not to mention the Lin family, if you let other ancient martial arts families know that Su Qiubai has this thing in her hands, I am afraid that the entire ancient martial arts family of Huaxia Kingdom will come to trouble Su Qiubai.
Because the allure of this red lotus is too great for ancient martial arts cultivators...... After many ancient martial artists have cultivated to a certain level, they may not be able to cross that hurdle in their lifetime, and if these people can get the assistance of the red lotus, which condenses the essence of heaven and earth, their cultivation will definitely be able to break through, so it is not surprising that a red lotus can even change the fate of an ancient martial arts family, and it is not surprising that the Lin family has spent a lot of trouble for this thing.
"What's the use of this thing? Is it a medicinal herb? Zhou Xin asked.
Su Qiubai smiled and said, "Even if it's a 10,000-year-old mountain ginseng, it's not as valuable as this thing." β
Hearing Su Qiubai say this, Zhou Xin immediately understood the value of this thing, although she was very surprised, but it was also her expectation, how could it be an ordinary thing that could make the Lin family entangle her like a mad dog?
"This thing can improve the cultivation of martial artists, and for ancient martial arts cultivators, it is no different from the elixir." Su Qiubai took a deep breath and said, "No wonder the Lin family is so crazy, if other ancient martial arts families know about this thing, they will come and grab it." β
Zhou Xin was shocked when she heard this, and said, "In this way, it is too dangerous for us to keep this thing, if we let other ancient martial arts families also know......
Zhou Xin felt terrified when she thought about it.
"Sister Xin doesn't have to worry so much." Su Qiubai smiled and said, "The Lin family won't be so stupid, they won't leak the news." β
At this moment, this red lotus exudes an extremely rich aura, and the aura in this villa is already very strong, but it is nothing compared to the concentration of aura emitted by this red lotus...... Su Qiubai finally saw it, this thing is worthy of being something that makes the ancient martial artists in the world crazy.
Su Qiubai had now begun to figure out how to refine this red lotus...... Such a spirit grass containing powerful essence is not an easy thing to digest, if Su Qiubai directly boils it and drinks it like taking medicine, then within a few minutes Su Qiubai will definitely explode and die...... Because Su Qiubai's body couldn't bear so much energy at all of a sudden.
"Sister Xin, with this thing, your leg will be healed soon." Su Qiubai said with a smile.
Because Zhou Xin's leg has been paralyzed for several years, Su Qiubai found that there were more meridian blockages on her body, so he couldn't dredge Zhou Xin's meridians just by relying on his true qi, he had been thinking about finding a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng to give Zhou Xin medicine, and with his own acupuncture and moxibustion skills and true qi, he could cure Zhou Xin's leg, and now with this thing, the problem of medicinal materials has been solved.
"Really?" Zhou Xin asked happily when she heard this.
"Not bad." Su Qiubai nodded and said with a smile: "And this thing is too powerful, only one-third of it needs to be used to heal your legs." β
Saying that, Su Qiubai's eyes fell on the parchment at the bottom of the box, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a map, Su Qiubai looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart.
I don't know what age this map is, and Su Qiubai doesn't know any of the words on it, but Su Qiubai found that the route of this map points to a snow-capped mountain in Mobei, and there is a red pattern near the snow-capped mountain...... Isn't that a symbol of the red lotus?
In this way, this map is a road map to find the Red Lotus...... A red lotus is powerful enough, there is even a map here, if an ancient martial arts family can find many red lotuses through this map, then this ancient martial arts family will definitely be able to become the overlord of the Huaxia Kingdom...... Su Qiubai couldn't dare to think about it anymore.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Su Qiubai's expression was a little excited, Zhou Xin asked.
"Nothing." Su Qiubai smiled and said, "Sister Xin, after a while, I may leave Jianghai City for a while." β
"Huh? Why? Zhou Xin asked in surprise, she didn't understand why Su Qiubai suddenly said that she was leaving Jianghai.
Su Qiubai left the old man and came to this city, just to improve his strength, and then go to Taiyi Gate to rescue his mother, and now this map is a golden opportunity for him...... Su Qiubai felt that God was helping him, if he really went to Mobei and found this place where red lotus grows, it would not be surprising even if he broke through to the heavenly level, and what would a mere Taiyi Gate be when the time came?
"Go home to your daughter-in-law." Su Qiubai said with a smile.
"It's again." Zhou Xin said.
Su Qiubai chuckled, handed the map in his hand to Zhou Xin, and said, "Sister Xin, look at this map." β
Zhou Xin took the map and looked at it for a while, and also saw it, and said in surprise: "The route marked on it is the ...... to find the red lotus."
Su Qiubai nodded and said, "So I'm going to Mobei." β
"But the climate over there in Mobei is very harsh......" Zhou Xin said with some concern: "And that side is already the border of our Huaxia Kingdom, I heard that there is a lot of chaos over there, bandits and armies often fight over there, it's too dangerous for you to go there." β
"No matter how dangerous it is, I'm going to go." Su Qiubai said firmly.
Looking at Su Qiubai's determined expression, Zhou Xin couldn't help but be stunned, it was the first time she had seen Su Qiubai show such a tough expression, and Su Qiubai before always gave her a relaxed feeling.
"Maybe he also has unknown troubles in his heart." Zhou Xin said silently in her heart.
"Sister Xin, did you give me this map?" Su Qiubai asked with a smile.
Zhou Xin smiled when she heard this: "Look at what you said, it's useless for me to ask for this map, just take it." β
Su Qiubai nodded, picked up the red lotus, and said, "I have to refine this red lotus first." β
Su Qiubai returned to his room, rummaged through his baggage for a while, and found a small bronze furnace ding, this furnace ding was something he brought down from the mountain, and using it to refine this snow lotus would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
