118: Rejuvenate and discuss the Dao with the Lord of Guanghan Palace!

"Go!" Lu Yuan gently tossed the Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

Rumble!

The palm-sized soil landed, emitting a roar like a mountain collapsing.

Immediately, the breathing soil expanded in the wind, instantly transforming into a nine-colored divine soil about a zhang square.

Above the divine soil, ten thousand rays of rosy light and a thousand strands of auspicious Qi appeared, and the rich Origin of Earth power almost materialized into mist.

Ordinary Spiritual Plants nearby, upon touching even a trace of this aura, began to grow wildly, instantly shooting up several inches.

"Good treasure." Lu Yuan praised, then carefully inserted the charred seedling of the Enlightenment Tea Tree into the center of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

"Hum!" The moment the dead wood touched the breathing soil, the world seemed to stand still for an instant.

Following that, a majestic vitality surged madly from the breathing soil into the dead wood.

Crack! Crack!

The charred, coal-like bark surface actually cracked open with tiny fissures.

From those fissures, a vibrant, emerald-green light shone through.

Whoosh— A breeze rose from the ground.

The piece of dead wood, originally devoid of life, began to sprout branches and leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye.

First, a tiny tender green bud poked its head out, then quickly unfurled, transforming into crystal-clear leaves shaped like green jade.

Every leaf was unique.

Some were shaped like small swords, radiating sharp Sword Intent; some were shaped like flames, pulsating with scorching heat; some were like full moons, flowing with Taiyin Power.

On every leaf, a remnant Dao Law pattern was naturally imprinted.

In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the dead wood had completely shed its dead skin, transforming into a small tree about three feet tall with lush foliage.

Although it was still just a seedling, the profound Dao rhythm it emitted made the Spiritual Qi of the entire Longevity Peak become active, as if bowing down to it.

Lu Yuan stood under the tree, and just taking a deep breath made his Spiritual platform feel clear; some obscure points in his previous Cultivation now suddenly felt enlightened.

"As expected of a Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth!" Lu Yuan was overjoyed.

With this tree, his speed in comprehending Laws in the future would increase more than tenfold!

"Azure Flood Dragon King!" Lu Yuan called out lightly.

"Roar!" A high-pitched Dragon roar sounded.

A cyan Flood Dragon, several hundred zhang long, poked its head out from the sea of clouds; it was the Azure Flood Dragon King that Lu Yuan had subdued.

Nourished by the Spirit Gathering Array, its scales were now increasingly verdant, and the single horn on its head showed signs of branching, clearly having benefited greatly.

"Master, what are your orders?" The Azure Flood Dragon King landed respectfully in front of Lu Yuan.

"From now on, you will guard this place." Lu Yuan pointed to the Enlightenment Tea Tree. "Except for me and the several Mistresses, no one is allowed to approach this tree by even half a step."

"This is..." The Azure Flood Dragon King followed Lu Yuan's finger. When it saw the small tree emitting thousands of Dao rhythms, its dragon eyes instantly widened, and drool almost flowed out.

"This... is this the legendary Enlightenment Tea Tree?"

As a member of the Yao Race, it was most sensitive to such Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth.

Just standing nearby and taking a breath, it felt its Realm seemed to loosen.

"Heavens! Master actually obtained such a divine object?!" The Azure Flood Dragon King trembled with excitement. This was no chore; this was a massive stroke of good fortune!

Sleeping by the Enlightenment Tea Tree every day, even a pig could become an intelligent being, let alone a Flood Dragon like itself that possessed a trace of true Dragon Bloodline!

"Master, rest assured!" The Azure Flood Dragon King patted its chest with a thunderous sound, swearing solemnly. "Even if I have to risk my life, I will never let a single fly get within half a step of this divine tree!"

"If a single leaf is missing, Master, you can stew me for soup!"

After saying this, it coiled around the Enlightenment Tea Tree, protecting that space tightly, and even inhaled the overflowing Dao rhythm with an intoxicated look.

Lu Yuan saw this, smiled slightly, said no more, and turned to leave.

Night fell.

The main hall of Longevity Peak was brightly lit.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, holding the Jade Slip containing the Annihilation Soul Divine Light, carefully contemplating the method of using the Divine Soul within it.

This Treasured Art was indeed exquisite. Combined with his Primordial Spirit, which was comparable to the Body Integration Realm, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

"Knock, knock, knock." Just then, a soft knocking sound came from outside the hall.

"Master... Your servant Leng Yue, requests an audience."

The voice was gentle and low, revealing a hint of nervousness and shyness that was hard to conceal.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and put away the Jade Slip.

"Come in."

The hall door creaked open.

A graceful figure walked in slowly, then turned and gently closed the hall door.

The person who came was none other than the Guanghan Palace Master, Fairy Lengyue.

Today, she had clearly dressed up meticulously.

She was not wearing the complex palace attire that symbolized the dignity of the Palace Master on weekdays, but had changed into a white gauze dress as bright as moonlight.

The texture of this gauze dress was excellent, thin and soft. Under the candlelight, the pale silver bodice inside was faintly visible, as well as the large expanse of snow-white, jade-like skin.

She had loosely pinned up her silver hair, inserting only a simple white jade hairpin. A few strands of hair hung down onto her slender neck, adding a bit of lazy charm.

At this moment, Fairy Lengyue had shed the coldness and dignity of a Refining Void Great Power, and instead looked like a young girl about to meet her lover.

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and two alluring red clouds flew onto her cheeks. That unique temperament, a blend of coldness and charm, was enough to make any man go crazy.

"It's so late, is something the matter?" Lu Yuan looked at her and asked, knowing the answer.

Fairy Lengyue moved with lotus steps, stopped three feet in front of Lu Yuan, and bowed gracefully.

"Master... Today, while I was Cultivating the Taiyin Law, I encountered some obscure Bottlenecks, and my heart... is very confused."

She looked up, her beautiful eyes looking at Lu Yuan with watery affection, her white teeth gently biting her red lips. Her voice was so soft and sweet that it felt like it could drip water. "Your servant knows that Master's learning is heaven-defying and your Dao techniques are profound... Therefore, I have come specifically to request Master... to clear my doubts."

When she said the words "clear my doubts," her voice was almost inaudible, and her pretty face was even redder, as if it were about to drip blood.

Although she had lived for thousands of years, she was a blank slate when it came to matters between men and women.

The reason she gathered the courage to come today was, on one hand, her complete admiration and worship for Lu Yuan's strength; on the other hand...

She had also seen the changes in Gu Qingxue and Xiao Yuechan after being nourished by Lu Yuan.

That improvement in cultivation, that confidence of being cherished, made her, as a latecomer, feel both envious and a sense of crisis.

She did not want to be just a simple subordinate; she wanted... to go further.

Lu Yuan looked at the Refining Void female cultivator who had taken the initiative to come to his door, and a meaningful smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
