Chapter 39: A Pond Of White Lotus Flowers
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the stone platform, Shen Tian was filled with cold sweat.
F*ck, I nearly died.
The reason Shen Tian had suddenly jumped off the cliff was not an impulsive choice.
He had actually pondered over jumping off the cliff for a long time.
Of course, he was not looking for death. The image in Little Spirit Fairy’s halo had shown that her fortuitous opportunity would be beneath this cliff.
In theory, if Shen Tian did not appear, the outcome of Perfected Black Blood kidnapping Little Spirit Fairy would be falling off the cliff.
As for the reason she fell, it was unknown, be it falling off in the midst of struggling or committing suicide due to being humiliated.
However, the place she landed after falling off the cliff was definitely this stone platform.
Naturally, due to Shen Tian’s intervention, Little Spirit Fairy was saved and would not be dumb enough to jump off the cliff when she was fine. Thus, since Little Spirit Fairy wouldn’t jump, Shen Tian could only do it himself.
The problem was, Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao were at the side protecting him, so Shen Tian could not just suddenly jump off the cliff!
It was difficult to find a reason that would justify his actions!
Fortunately, Little Spirit Fairy actually asked Shen Tian to jump off the cliff to prove his innocence.
Shen Tian couldn’t let go of such a good opportunity. Therefore, it was a given that he jumped down without hesitation!
Shen Tian had carefully analyzed the place and direction where Little Spirit Fairy had fallen off the cliff in the image. As such, he jumped off without hesitation and experienced how free-falling felt.
However, in that process, a small accident had occurred.
Originally, Shen Tian had been under the impression that there would be no problems if he followed the trajectory Little Spirit Fairy’s image had shown. Nevertheless, he had forgotten something very important—the unlucky black halo on top of his head!
After jumping, Shen Tian had crushed against a pine tree beside the cliff. Not only was he dizzy from being hit, but his landing spot had also changed.
He had deviated about the distance of three feet from where the platform was.
He had been frightened out of his wits at that moment!
He had been free-falling in front while a soul was chasing behind him, almost not making it in time.
Had it not been for Jiu’er pushing him at the crucial moment, he might have become meat pie by now.
“It was my mistake, my mistake!
“Indeed, I should keep a low profile and focus on surviving first. Before my halo is, at least, green, I shouldn’t take any risks at all!”
While lying on the stone platform, Shen Tian tried to learn from this lesson and swore to never take risks again.
…
Little Spirit Fairy and the others had found a rope.
“Your Highness, are you alright?”
Eunuch Gui, whose face was full of concern, helped Shen Tian up.
Meanwhile, Little Spirit Fairy clenched her fist. Her heavenly aura that bewitched countless men had completely disappeared. Instead, she was like a wife that had been wronged.
Who knew how much she wanted to cry now!
“You bast*rd, you actually jumped off the cliff! I don’t want you to take responsibility anymore. Are you happy now?”
Shen Tian turned his head away, not daring to face Little Spirit Fairy since her expression was really filled with resentment and bitterness.
He felt that if he let Little Spirit Fairy wear the rosary beads, then they might recover in just a few days.
…
Shen Tian did not know why, but he seemed to have turned into a playboy.
However, the thing was he had not done anything!
“Cough, cough Then… Erm… Let’s take a look at this cave abode!”
He forcibly changed the topic and walked toward the cave abode.
The cave abode was around one foot tall, and its huge bronze door was locked. There was an iron tablet hanging on top of the door.
On the table, four huge words were written with vigorous touches and fine strokes—Celestial Water Immortal Abode
“Celestial Water Immortal Abode? There are no relevant records in the books of the palace.” Eunuch Gui said, “Your Highness, please be careful. There may be dangers inside a cultivator’s abode.”
Shen Tian nodded. Even without Eunuch Gui’s reminder, he already knew that. He had nearly turned into meat pie just now, after all.
He gradually walked toward the door and saw that there was a handprint indentation on the bronze door.
Shen Tian placed his right hand into the handprint indentation and slightly used force.
He instantly felt piercing pain assaulting his five fingers.
Five drops of blood oozed out of his fingers and were absorbed by the bronze door. However, there was no change to the door after absorbing the blood.
Indeed, some fortuitous opportunities are tailored for specific people!
Shen Tian had no other choice but to say, “Looks like this bronze door is a test. My blood didn’t pass.”
Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao looked at each other and also walked forward to try. Unsurprisingly, the outcome was the same as Shen Tian’s, the bronze door did not even budge.
“Miss Ling’er, now there’s only you left,” said Shen Tian as he smiled at Little Spirit Fairy.
“Hmph!”
Little Spirit Fairy proudly glared at Shen Tian before she walked to the bronze door.
She took a deep breath and pressed her fine and slender hand into the handprint indentation.
Five drops of blood oozed out of her fingers and were absorbed by the bronze door.
The whole bronze door trembled!
Rumble!
The one-feet-tall bronze door opened with a loud sound, and a long passageway appeared in front of everyone.
“Looks like Miss Ling’er is this cave abode’s fated one!”
Shen Tian smiled and heaved a sigh of relief.
At last, Little Spirit Fairy opened the cave abode’s doors.
Thus, after Little Spirit Fairy obtained her fortuitous opportunity, it should be the time when the color of his halo would change drastically!
The group cautiously walked into the cave abode.
One could see that this cave abode was deserted for quite a long time.
There was one row of candles on each side of the cave, and they were covered full of dust.
After stepping through the bronze door, the group headed deeper into the cave abode.
Following the passageway, they advanced around a few hundred meters.
Then, their line of sight broadened vastly, as a small expanse valley appeared in front of them.
This small valley was full of Spirit Qi.
All kinds of exotic flowers and rare herbs were growing, and their fragrant scent pervaded through the air.
In the center of the valley was even a small pond of an acre. Spirit Lotuses were planted in the pond, and the flowers were in full bloom, emitting a refreshing and pleasant scent.
“It’s Pure White Lotuses, a precious medicinal material that’s necessary for the Golden Retreat Pill.”
When looking at the Pure White Lotuses in the pond, Eunuch Gui could not help but gasp.
Pure White Lotus was an extremely precious material and was very popular in the cultivation world. Even the most average grade-one Pure White Lotus could be sold for thousands of Spirit Stones.
Meanwhile, at a glance, there were at least 100 Pure White Lotuses in the pond.
Within them, Shen Tian even saw the presence of quite a few grade-three Pure White Lotuses.
A grade-three Pure White Lotuses would at least be worth 100,000 Spirit Stones!
Just the value of the pond of Pure White Lotuses was inestimable.
…
Upon looking at the Pure White Lotuses that filled up the whole pond, Little Spirit Fairy could not help but cover her mouth in astonishment.
There are so many Pure White Lotuses! Some are even second-grade and third-grade.
If they are all sold, how much will they be worth!?
That was a frighteningly large sum of money that Little Spirit Fairy could not even dare to imagine.
Little Spirit Fairy took a look at Shen Tian as she felt a little worried.
Would he kill her since she had seen such a fortune?
To cultivators, cultivating resources were more important than anything else.
It was filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs, with an additional pond of Pure White Lotuses, which was worth at least 1,000,000 Spirit Stones.
Given the wealth right in front of one’s eye, many people could even harm those of the same blood.
Since Little Spirit Fairy was born in poverty and had worked in a place like Myriad Spirit Garden, where the high and low were mixed together for many years, Little Spirit Fairy was fully aware of how evil people’s hearts could be in the cultivation world.
If it were most cultivators that had encountered such a fortuitous opportunity, they would most likely kill those involved to keep the secret.
Will this guy be able to resist the temptation?
At that moment, Little Spirit Fairy started worrying.
