Chapter 121: Thousandfold Returns, The Red Lotus Sacred Platform!
"This red lotus platform seems suitable for the Golden Eagle," he thought as the idea of the red lotus platform flashed through his mind.
This red lotus platform could increase the speed of cultivation, which was perfect for enhancing the Golden Eagle's cultivation speed.
Having made up his mind, Gu He decided to give the red lotus platform as a gift to the Golden Eagle when he returned.
Next, Gu He focused on the lotus seeds within the red lotus.
These lotus seeds were known as the essence of the Fire Spirit. It took a hundred years for a single seed to form, and it contained extremely pure heavenly and earthly essences.
After consumption, whether for healing internal energy or breaking through, they had extremely powerful effects.
Even for experts at the Dou Emperor level, it had a profound impact.
Gu He then turned his attention to the red lotus in front of him. He intended to take the entire red lotus.
The original text mentioned that this red lotus was a miraculous creation of heaven and earth. It would instantly disintegrate upon contact with ordinary materials, so a pure jade-like object was required to avoid sullying its effects.
With that in mind, Gu He retrieved a dozen high-quality jade bottles from his storage ring. He released a purple flame into his palm, melting the small bottles into a light green liquid. As the liquid churned, it solidified into a slender jade blade.
Gu He carefully removed impurities from the jade blade, making it look crystal clear and as beautiful as the red lotus leaves.
Holding the jade ruler in his hand, it felt pleasantly cool. Gu He couldn't help but lick his lips, then carefully approached the red lotus. He gently cut the part connected to the lotus seat.
Immediately, the perfectly beautiful red lotus fell down as if it were a work of art.
Watching the red lotus fall, Gu He extended his palm and quickly absorbed it. Then, he let it float in front of him, rotating it slowly while his gaze swept over it, displaying a look of admiration.
With a thought, Gu He directly stored the entire red lotus in his spatial system.
After completing all of this, Gu He looked at the piece of the fire attribute energy root that was voraciously absorbing the surrounding magma. His eyes showed some curiosity.
A piece of the energy root that could absorb energy so crazily must also be a rare treasure.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Gu He abandoned this idea. For these spiritual beings that took centuries to form, it was best to leave them a chance. This could be considered a good omen for himself.
Although he took the red lotus this time, as long as he gave it a thousand years, it would grow new red lotuses.
If Gu He took away this piece of the root and leaves, the heart fire of the red lotus in this place might forever become extinct. It would be very difficult to form again.
Gu He stared at the continuously swaying root with a sense of regret. In the alchemy world, destroying the root when picking spiritual beings or herbs was the most infuriating thing, as the conditions for their formation were extremely strict.
Then, Gu He swept the area around him and discovered that, ever since the red lotus had separated from the root, the red light in the surroundings appeared to be gradually diminishing.
Gu He let out a sigh of relief, took a final look at the red lotus root, licked his lips, stepped forward, and rapidly left the area of red light.
"Let's go!" he said.
Leaving the red light area, Gu He raised his hand toward the distant Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent and followed it, quickly retracing his steps.
After a while, Gu He's figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the magma world.
Gu He fixed his gaze on the magma world below and scanned it. He was curious about how this vast magma world had come into existence. Why did such a broad expanse of magma world exist beneath?
Gu He had already made up his mind. Once his strength increased a bit more, and he was no longer concerned about the magma, he would return to investigate this place.
Perhaps there might be some unexpected gains.
Next, Gu He looked down at the magma and his expression turned cold. "Big fellow, if you don't come up now, you'll never get out."
The magma world briefly calmed, and then the massive body of the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent emerged.
Roar!
After emerging, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent let out a roar towards Gu He, its eyes containing a hint of pleading, as if it was requesting Gu He to spare it.
Gu He shook his head, a cold expression on his face, and said indifferently, "You have a choice: follow me or die."
Seeing Gu He's refusal, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent's eyes dimmed.
After hesitating for a moment, its massive body twisted, and it directly left the entire magma world, coming to Gu He's side.
Seeing this scene, Gu He finally nodded in satisfaction and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips. "Very well, congratulations on earning the right to live."
With that, Gu He reached out and touched the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, directly storing it in the system space.
After completing all of this, Gu He moved swiftly and reappeared on the surface of the desert.
Looking at the passage leading to the magma world below, Gu He thought for a moment. He took out some iron tools from his storage ring and melted them to create a thick iron plate, which he used to cover the passage. Then, he used a large amount of sand to bury it. With a swift movement, he disappeared into the desert.
When Gu He appeared again, he had returned to the residence of the Desert Iron Mercenary Corps.
Gu He's gaze swept the room and then stayed on the little Qing Lin, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, earnestly practicing.
"This girl is quite diligent," Gu He said as he watched the young girl immersed in her training, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
Gu He didn't disturb her and went to the table to pour himself a glass of water, waiting quietly.
Half an hour later, the young girl stopped her training.
"Teacher, you're back?" Qing Lin's eyes lit up as she looked at Gu He, her tone filled with joy.
Gu He nodded and waved to the young girl. "Come here, I have a gift for you."
"A gift?" Qing Lin was momentarily surprised, then she came to Gu He, her voice crisp as she asked, "Teacher, what's the gift?"
Gu He didn't say anything. With a thought, he directly took out the cyan lotus platform from his storage ring.
"This is the gift for you. From now on, you can use this platform for your cultivation, and it will be even more effective."
With that, Gu He handed the cyan lotus platform to Qing Lin.
Just now, the lotus seeds on the cyan lotus platform had already been taken by Gu He.
As Qing Lin received the cyan lotus platform, her eyes brightened, and she accepted it with a hint of surprise. "What a beautiful cyan lotus!"
Just as Qing Lin received the cyan lotus platform, a notification sound from the system rang in Gu He's mind.
"Ding, the host has granted the cyan lotus platform to the third disciple, Qing Lin. Congratulations to the host for receiving a thousandfold return and obtaining the Red Lotus Sacred Platform."
"The Red Lotus Sacred Platform has been placed in the system space for the host to collect."
