The golden spiritual light emanating from the "Golden Book Page" touched the "Oriental Star Chart."
The "Oriental Star Chart" trembled slightly and then returned to its usual calm.
In Hao Ren's view, this was the "Oriental Star Chart" refusing to associate with the "Golden Book Page."
"I am a 'Quasi-Innate Spirit Treasure,' a mighty and formidable existence. Who would bother with a 'half-finished magical artifact' like you?
Go find somewhere cool to stay!
The "Golden Book Page" was enraged.
*Buzz!*
It vibrated violently, and a torrent of golden light erupted.
The "Projection of the Three Thousand Great Daos" reappeared, suppressing it forcefully!
At this, the "Oriental Star Chart" immediately became obedient. It no longer put on airs as an "Innate Spirit Treasure" and slowly complied.
The "Oriental Star Chart" unfurled its scroll, and the "Third Innate Star" within it lit up intensely, spewing a vast amount of "Star Green Light" that surged towards the "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus."
"Star Green Light"!
What a treasure!
Hao Ren's heart stirred as he witnessed this.
The "Star Green Light" powered by the "Third Innate Star" was a genuine good thing, especially for "spiritual plants," serving as a potent spiritual energy supplement.
He recalled how, when the "Third Innate Star" first activated, the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" instantly produced countless "spiritual herbs and medicines," their rich medicinal fragrance accelerating the cultivation and progress of many cultivators...
Now, a massive amount of "Star Green Light" was being specially supplied to the "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus." Such preferential treatment was truly outstanding!
After absorbing the immense "Star Green Light," the "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus" underwent an incredibly profound transformation.
Streams of golden light erupted.
The "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus" slowly revolved.
With each revolution, a golden root grew from its base.
After revolving nine times, the "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus" had grown a total of nine golden roots.
These nine golden roots plunged deeply into the "Supreme Spiritual Spring Eye," continuously absorbing pure spiritual energy.
This was a sign of "rooting and growing"!
Hao Ren rejoiced at this sight.
This was promising!
Following this trend, under the stewardship of the "Golden Book Page," a new path seemed to be emerging, one that could easily cultivate and propagate the "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus" without expending vast amounts of "Merit and Wish Power."
Hao Ren thought this, his heart filled with anticipation for the future.
At this moment, the "Golden Book Page" vibrated once more, and a layer of golden light spread outwards.
This time, the target of the golden light was the nearby "Lovesick Tree Sapling."
The "Lovesick Tree Sapling" was adorable, gentle in nature, and very obedient.
Upon contact with the golden light, it immediately waved its tender pink branches, scattering a large amount of "pink mist" in the direction of the "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus."
Seeing this "pink mist," Hao Ren's eyes lit up.
This "pink mist" was what Hao Ren had named "Lovesick Spiritual Energy."
"Lovesick Spiritual Energy" was exceptionally powerful, its primary function being "propagation."
He remembered that when he first planted the "Nine Dragon Patterned Grass," he had only had a meager three stalks.
Later, under the nurturing of the "Lovesick Spiritual Energy," the "Nine Dragon Patterned Grass" entered a state of "crazy propagation."
Within a mere few months, the entire cave was lush with grass, covered in "Nine Dragon Patterned Grass."
Hao Ren expressed his great anticipation for the effect of "Lovesick Spiritual Energy" on the "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus"!
This time, the "Lovesick Spiritual Energy" did not disappoint Hao Ren.
After absorbing a massive amount of "Lovesick Spiritual Energy," the "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus" transformed into a sacred golden lotus, slowly blooming.
The nine petals of the golden lotus unfurled, and at the center of the lotus platform, nine "lotus seed phantoms" appeared.
These nine "lotus seed phantoms" contained incredibly potent life force, as if each could nurture a brand-new "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus."
Alas, phantoms were still phantoms. Lacking the "essential core," they could not truly condense into seeds.
What was missing?
Hao Ren frowned, a vague guess forming in his mind.
The "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus" was propagated from the Buddhist sect's ultimate treasure, the "Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus."
The "Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus" was no ordinary item; it was a supreme "Primordial Spirit Treasure," immensely powerful, and it stabilized the destiny of Buddhism.
A powerful Buddhist adept had extracted a trace of "Primordial Origin Aura" from the "Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus" to successfully propagate the "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus."
Where could Hao Ren find such "Primordial Origin Aura" anytime soon?
Wait, "Primordial Origin Aura," right? I seem to have some here!
Hao Ren's gaze shifted to the nearby "Phoenix Divine Tree Sprout."
The "Phoenix Divine Tree" was a "Primordial Spiritual Item," and an incredibly powerful one at that, even a step above the "Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus."
Could it spare a trace of its "Primordial Origin Aura" for the "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus"?
Just as Hao Ren was pondering this, an anomaly occurred.
The "Golden Book Page" vibrated again.
A layer of golden light spread out.
Swish, swish, swish!
The golden light fell upon the "Phoenix Divine Tree Sprout."
The "small world" nurtured within the core of the "Phoenix Divine Tree Sprout" stirred slightly, emitting streams of seven-colored spiritual light.
The "Seven-Colored Spiritual Light" contained powerful "Primordial Origin Aura," exactly nine streams, which shot towards the "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus."
Each "lotus seed phantom" received a stream of "Seven-Colored Spiritual Light."
With the augmentation of the "Seven-Colored Spiritual Light," the "lotus seed phantoms" transitioned from illusion to reality, condensing into genuine "golden lotus seeds."
Nine "golden lotus seeds" were formed!
The original "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus" slowly withered, finally disappearing from existence.
As the "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus" withered and dissipated, the nine newly formed "golden lotus seeds" respectively fell into the "Supreme Spiritual Spring Eye."
The nine "golden lotus seeds" floated and sank in the "Supreme Spiritual Spring Eye," absorbing the rich spiritual energy.
Hao Ren was overjoyed at this sight.
Excellent!
As long as these nine "golden lotus seeds" took root and sprouted, they would soon grow into nine "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotuses."
An ultimate "one for nine" exchange!
This business was a rip-roaring success, incredibly profitable!
The thought of soon possessing nine "Ninth-Grade Golden Lotuses" made Hao Ren grin uncontrollably.
Heh, heh, heh...
But when would these "golden lotus seeds" take root and sprout?
Before Hao Ren could fully form this thought, another anomaly occurred.
The "Golden Book Page" vibrated once more.
*Buzz!*
A layer of golden spiritual light spread out.
This time, the target was again the "Oriental Star Chart."
The "Oriental Star Chart" swayed, clearly displeased.
If you're going to fleece someone, at least don't do it so relentlessly, targeting just me. Aren't you afraid of shearing me bald?
The "Golden Book Page" was equally unyielding. It erupted with another layer of golden spiritual light, on the verge of activating the "Three Thousand Great Daos Projection." The "Oriental Star Chart" dared not bargain further and immediately complied, vigorously channeling "Star Green Light" to envelop the nine "golden lotus seeds."
