In the past three years, the petals of 12 five-colored lotus flowers have fallen into the water, and the flower cores have formed lotus canopies, and at the same time, 12 lotus canopies have matured and fallen off. The reason is very simple, Tiger Baby and Pan Gu ate lotus root stems a total of twelve times. The five-colored lotus is a flower of gratitude, and every day it will open at sunrise and reintegrate into buds at sunset. If the tiger baby and Pan Gu hadn't broken into here, I'm afraid it would still be the case for another thousand years, and there would be no petals falling, and no new lotus pods would appear.

Although this small world realm is extremely magical, the spiritual pond built by Emperor Taihao and the spiritual breath of heaven and earth that it gathers can only grow so many five-colored divine lotuses, and it has already reached a constant state. After the lotus root stems are picked, there are new changes that occur, with new lotus roots beginning to bud and grow, and ripe lotus pods falling into the water.

Li Qingshui reminded the tiger baby in a timely manner, and quickly plucked the long green stem under the lotus canopy from the lotus root in the soil, which will remain green and incorruptible in its original state, so as to be used in the future. Otherwise, the green rods that are still left on the lotus root will melt away in the water, and no trace will be left, as if they have returned to the spiritual breath of heaven and earth.

As for the lotus canopy, Li Qingshui will also tell the tiger baby to quickly pick it up and put it away, and put it on the white jade altar, it will always be fresh. Otherwise, after a few years after falling into the water, the lotus pod and lotus seeds will also melt away. The tiger baby once saw with her own eyes that after the petals of the five-colored lotus flower fell into the water, it did not wither and wither, it was still as bright as ever, but it naturally slowly dispersed in the spiritual spring, and it could not be fished up.

Li Qing Shui knows the characteristics of the five-color divine lotus, from the germination of the lotus seed to the opening of the flower, it takes a hundred years to grow, and from the opening of the lotus flower to the maturity of the lotus seed, it takes another hundred years. When the number of five-colored lotus that can be held in the lotus pond reaches the limit, no new flowers and leaves will grow, unless there is an unexpected change, such as being taken by someone. As for the five-colored lotus flowers and lotus pods here, many of them have not changed for thousands of years.

The petals of the five-colored lotus flower melt when they enter the water, and the tiger baby is often not present when the petals fall into the water, so he has no time to collect them. Only once when the timing was right, he was reminded by Li Qingshui, let Pan Gu enter the lotus pond, and when the petals did not fall into the water, he put it on his head to catch it, and thus collected fifteen pieces and put them together with those lotus pods and lotus stems.

The lotus pod will dissolve after a few years of water, but not all lotus seeds are like this, for thousands of years, many lotus seeds have fallen into the soil of the spring of Changqing for thousands of years, without any signs of decay. When the number of lotus seeds accumulated in the soil reaches a certain number, the newly fallen lotus seeds will not be left, so Li Qingshui will tell Huwa and Pan Gu to put away the fallen lotus canopy quickly.

If someone could turn over all the soil under the spring water, they would find that there were a total of 1,071 lotus seeds buried in it, which happened to be the sum of the number of lotus flowers, lotus leaves, and lotus pods, which were dropped thousands of years ago when the five-colored divine lotus was still growing. Now, when a lotus stem sticking out of the water disappears, a lotus seed sprouts again in the soil.

Therefore, the things that the tiger baby has collected in the past three years can be said to be the accumulation of many years in this ruin, its value is immeasurable, and it is impossible to grow in a short period of time, fortunately, there are enough five-colored divine lotus here. Li Qingshui was really generous to this child and this dog, and let them eat lotus root stems twelve times, just as a meal, because there was no other food in and around this Taihao ruins.

The twelve lotus pods that mature and fall off, each of which has nine lotus seeds, make a total of one hundred and eight. In the past three years, Huwa and Pan Gu have come to the Taihao Ruins a total of 49 times, of which 12 times they ate lotus roots, and the remaining 37 times they took a lotus seed for each "person", which was told by Li Qingshui to eat.

The white lotus seed flesh has the miraculous effect of nourishing vitality, and the cyan lotus seed core bud can detoxify all the poisons in the world. The lotus seed flesh is sweet and crisp, melts in the mouth, and is very delicious, but the lotus seed core bud is extremely bitter, and it cannot be eaten at all, this "bitterness" is simply beyond the concept of taste, making people's whole body constrict into a ball of breathlessness, bitter to the spirit, astringent to the soul, taking it is a great test and torture.

The only thing that can solve this kind of suffering is lotus seed meat, if you don't eat it with lotus seed meat, I'm afraid you won't be able to chew and swallow the core buds, and you must chew the core buds completely, otherwise you can't absorb its spiritual effect. Li Qingshui told Huwa that she couldn't just eat lotus seed meat, she had to eat it with lotus seed core buds every time, and practice gong cultivation in the fixed realm. Pan Gu is very reluctant to eat this way, it wants to eat only lotus seed meat, but the tiger baby has to stare at it every time to chew and swallow the core buds, which is the order of the mountain god.

The five-colored divine lotus, its petals, stamens, lotus leaves, lotus stems, lotus seeds, lotus pods, lotus stems, and lotus root joints are all legendary elixirs of immortality. From the perspective of alchemy, the most essential part is the petals and stamens, but if you want to eat it directly to help the spirit, the edible part of the essence is the lotus root stem and lotus seed.

Huwa has taken so many lotus roots and lotus seeds in the past few years, what kind of effect it has, Li Qingshui is not clear, because no one has ever tried it like this, and this is not something that a mere Second Realm monk can imagine. Anyway, Li Qingshui is very willing, and besides, the five-colored divine lotus here will still grow, and it is a waste not to eat it. As for how much energy is wasted after eating - don't think about this boring question!

The tiger baby can completely integrate the spiritual effect of the five-colored divine lotus into the divine form, even if it can't play a full role now, it can also appear when it cultivates higher in the future. Its refining and absorption process has become a long cultivation process for the tiger baby. Pan Gu is obviously not as perfect as the tiger baby, but there are also many benefits left in the future.

Li Qingshui even doubted that the flesh and blood of this person, a dog, and especially that child, had also become an immortal elixir in another sense? Among all the parts of the five-colored divine lotus, only the spiritual power of the lotus root and lotus seeds was absorbed by the tiger baby in this way, and they represented the state of endless vitality and circulation. And the rest of the part is not allowed, if the realm is not enough to forcibly take it, there will even be special damage, so Li Qing let them all stay.

As for the Langji tree, its branches and leaves are inedible, even if it is a pan gourd's dog teeth, it can't be gnawed, and the so-called immortal elixir specifically refers to the Langji fruit. There are still Langji flowers on the current Langji tree, and that is because Li Qingshui has picked some Langji fruits before, and the new immortal elixir has not yet grown. However, if no one picks the ripe fruit, it will never fall off, even if it is another 10,000 years.

If the tree is full of fruit, it doesn't look like it will grow anymore, but will remain alive for thousands of years. The so-called elixir of immortality, as long as it grows in a suitable environment, will have an inexhaustible lifespan, and it is a plant and tree that will never wither.

There are plants in the world that have a long life, such as the green oak in the deep mountains, many old trees are thousands of years old, it is said that some of them can grow for tens of thousands of years, but their longevity always ends. And immortal elixirs such as Langji Tree and Five-Colored Divine Lotus, Shou Yuan is endless, or there is no concept of Shou Yuan at all.

The pan gourd is very greedy, although the lotus seed is delicious, but every time it is accompanied by the entrance of the core bud, so it always wants to eat the lotus root, how good the taste, how comfortable it is after eating! So in the past three years, Li Qingshui has let them pick the lotus root stems a total of 12 times, each time three sections.

But Pan Gu never had the idea of Lang Ji Guo, because he didn't know that it could be eaten. Moreover, the Langji tree is the light source in this strange small world, if the tree is damaged or killed, there will be nothing to illuminate, and the flowers in the pond may not be able to grow. So the "clever" pan gourd never touched those Lang Ji trees, and the dog had learned how to avoid suspicion of getting into trouble, for example, he never chased roosters and hens in the village now.

Huwa is already eleven years old, and on this day he once again came to the Taihao Ruins to sit and practice. After finishing the practice of Zhou Tian, he suddenly asked in his heart: "Mountain god, can you eat the fruit on the tree, and why does it never fall?"

As long as the tiger baby doesn't speak, and there are no other changes in cultivation, Li Qingshui rarely speaks to disturb him. At this moment, Li Qing replied: "These fruits, when they are ripe, if no one picks them, they will not fall. ”

Huwa: "Can I pick one and try it? I'm afraid that after picking it, the tree won't shine." ”

Li Qingshui smiled in his thoughts: "How do you see that?" If there is no ripe Langji fruit on the Langji tree, the whole tree will no longer shine, and the more ripe Langji fruit, the brighter its light will be. Now, although there is still a Langji forest on the Shude mound, there is no Qionglin glow, because the ripe Langji fruits have been picked by Baisha.

Huwa replied: "In the fixed realm, the divine qi is integrated with this small world, and feeling the things in this world is like feeling myself. I found the light of these trees to be very strange, and it seemed to shine through my form in the realm, but it was not the visible light, and I felt as if I was being trained. This light fluctuates with the day, sensing the fruit from the tree. ”

Li Qing Shui praised: "You have sensed the rhythm of life, if you pick all the ripe fruits on the tree, the tree will not shine, and the flowers in the water next to it will no longer grow." But now that the fruit of these five trees has been hanging for many years and has borne enough fruit, it will not affect you to pick some of them.

When this fruit is not something that ordinary people can pick, if you forcibly pick it by hand, as soon as the fruit leaves the stem, it will turn into a cloud of light and rain and disperse, and return to the essence of heaven and earth. Therefore, it must be picked with supernatural power, and it cannot be taken casually like picking wild fruits in the mountains. If your cultivation is reached, you can try it. ”

This idea is imprinted into the tiger baby's original spirit, which contains a legal decision, that is, how to pick the Lang Yu fruit, if the tiger baby does not have this ability, he will not be able to understand. Then, almost instantly, I saw a Langji fruit flying out of the Langji tree, exuding a faint brilliance, and flew very lightly to hover in front of the tiger baby.

Soaking in the water of the lotus pond, only one head was exposed, and suddenly stood up straight, looking at the tiger baby on the white jade throne with eyes that were both envious and surprised, and at the same time full of admiration. And Li Qingshui, whose real body is far away on the mound of the tree, if he really can't move, I'm afraid he will almost be planted from the Dharma seat.
