Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2119 1529: Spreading Rumors (2)

Li Zhirui then produced a substantial quantity of Purification Lotus Seeds and offered them.

"What might these be?"

Fu Chenguang inspected the lotus seeds with evident curiosity, questioning how such seemingly unassuming Human Immortal rank Spiritual Objects could resolve a predicament that even Taiyi Great Powers found insurmountable.

"These are Spiritual Objects that I cultivated, named Purifying White Lotus. They possess the capability to cleanse the malevolent filth that permeates heaven and earth, thereby alleviating the world's oppressive pressure."

Upon hearing this, Fu Chenguang's eyes widened considerably. If these humble-looking lotus seeds genuinely held such potency, then he readily accepted Li Zhirui's previous assertions!

A spiritual object that can purify vile corruption, ease worldly burdens, and eradicate the presence of Outer Realm entities during invasions is indeed exceptionally precious!

For a colossal entity like the Fu Family, whose influence spans countless worlds and traverses the vast universe, its value is amplified manifold.

"Does Fellow Daoist possess an abundance of these Purification Lotus Seeds?"

Observing Fu Chenguang's palpable excitement, Li Zhirui inquired eagerly, "If it is feasible, would you consider selling some to me? I intend to procure them for my own cultivation once my current affairs are concluded."

He swiftly followed up with an assurance, "Fellow Daoist, please be at ease. These lotus seeds will be exclusively for my personal use, and I solemnly pledge not to engage in any resale for profit."

Regarding any potential shortcomings in the Bai Lian's lower grade, the Fu Family possesses the means to compensate for such deficiencies!

Li Zhirui, naturally, grasped Fu Chenguang's underlying intentions, yet he felt no particular inclination towards it.

It wasn't that he was unaware of the Purifying White Lotus's worth. However, the universe is an immense expanse, and the number of worlds within The Void far surpasses the count of stars in the sky. With his present strength and cultivation level, attempting to monopolize this particular trade was simply out of the question.

Furthermore, if he were to attract the attention of a malevolent entity possessing power superior to his own, it could very well invite disaster upon him.

Consequently, Li Zhirui had consistently maintained a low profile, deliberately withholding the most significant secrets pertaining to the Purification Principle and the Purifying White Lotus.

Had it not been for the pressing need to hone his skills within the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, coupled with the profound trust he vested in Fu Chenguang, and the fact that their power levels were comparable—meaning he could mount a defense even if attacked—Li Zhirui would never have divulged this profound secret!

"I do possess them, but the price will be substantial. Does Fellow Daoist still wish to proceed?"

"Indeed! I shall acquire however many you have available!"

To let such a golden opportunity slip through his fingers, how desolate would existence become amidst the boundless chaos? The thought of such regret was simply unbearable.

Thus, regardless of the cost, he was determined to claim every single one of these lotus seeds.

"Does Fellow Daoist possess any Profound Immortal rank spirit seeds or intricate pill recipes? These may be utilized in exchange for the lotus seeds," Li Zhirui articulated his terms.

"I do!" Fu Chenguang readily assented without a moment's hesitation.

He had initially presumed that only Profound Immortal rank spirit seeds would suffice, but he had not anticipated that the other party would be amenable to accepting pill recipes!

Without delay, he produced several Jade Slips and a number of spirit seeds, presenting them to Li Zhirui and inquiring, "Fellow Daoist, are these Jade Slips sufficient?"

This gesture, in turn, made his own spirit seeds appear rather less significant.

"That is far too many."

He harbored no intention of exploiting the other party, hence he carefully selected merely two jade slips and two spirit seeds, with the intention of returning the remainder.

"No! You are significantly undervaluing the worth of these lotus seeds in your possession."

Fu Chenguang firmly shook his head, refusing to accept the surplus items. The greater one's cultivation realm, the more profoundly they comprehend the intrinsic preciousness of the Purification Lotus Seeds. Therefore, he insisted that Li Zhirui accept all the pil l recipes and spirit seeds.

In truth, it was the novel and distinct perspective engendered by this transaction that allowed him to truly appreciate the singular essence of the Purification Principle!

These words rendered him momentarily speechless, as he had never foreseen a day when he would be subjected to such a peculiar instance of 'forced acquisition and disposition.'

"Truly..."

Perceiving that refusal was no longer an option, Li Zhirui could only acquiesce with a resigned shake of his head.

Concurrently, as a gesture of recompense to Fu Chenguang, he deliberately extracted some higher-grade Pure Lotus Seeds.

Through Li Zhirui's years of dedicated cultivation, augmented by the application of Space Power, the grade of these Pure Lotus Seeds had ascended to the Earth Immortal rank.

Spiritual objects of this caliber typically hold limited utility for individuals of their respective cultivation realms.

However, the Purifying White Lotus distinguished itself, its primary efficacy lying in the purification of wicked impurities, with all other functions being secondary. The inherent grade merely dictates the efficiency of this purification process.

"My sincerest gratitude, Fellow Daoist."

Witnessing the meticulous care with which he sealed those lotus seeds, Li Zhirui couldn't refrain from offering a reminder, "Fellow Daoist, let us not forget the impending plan; endeavor to make optimal use of these White Lotus Seeds."

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I fully grasp the gravity of this undertaking."

"Excellent."

Li Zhirui felt a sense of reassurance, noticing that the response wasn't merely perfunctory.

Subsequently, he retreated to his cave mansion, focusing his mind to commence his intricate preparations.

...

Within the bustling marketplace.

A cultivator, while idly strolling through an alley, inadvertently let a Jade Slip slip from his grasp, completely unaware of the mishap!

This was a subtle maneuver by Li Zhirui's Divine Sense, with the cultivator only thinking he had dropped a blank Jade Slip.

Not long after, the Jade Slip was discovered by another cultivator who had been subtly guided by Li Zhirui.

Upon examining the Jade Slip's contents, the finder's heart pounded with exhilaration, his breathing momentarily seizing.

The Jade Slip detailed an astonishing revelation: a high-tier secret realm was located within the Gloomy Swamp!

Li Zhirui had classified it as a secret realm rather than a mere relic for a straightforward reason: relics, by their nature, do not necessitate prolonged cultivation presence. Once their resources are depleted, their value diminishes significantly.

As for the cultivator who stumbled upon this immense secret, influenced by the lingering Divine Sense, he perceived it as sheer serendipity and immense good fortune.

Clutching the Jade Slip, his previous leisurely wandering ceased, and he hurried back to his own cave mansion, contemplating the means to access this secret realm.

"My own strength alone offers no path to entry; therefore, the most viable strategy is to disseminate this information widely, encouraging numerous cultivators to venture forth together. Only then will I stand a chance of entering the secret realm!"

This crucial idea arose spontaneously in his mind, entirely independent of any external influence from Li Zhirui.

He then began to consider the most effective method for rapidly spreading the news of the secret realm, concluding that propagating it as a rumor would be the optimal approach.

That very night, after discreetly altering his appearance, he infiltrated a lively tavern.

After a few cups of Spiritual Wine, a sense of tipsiness washed over him, mimicking true intoxication.

"Esteemed Daoist friend… *hic*… I carry a significant secret. Would you care to hear it?"

The stranger, still possessing a degree of sobriety, inquired with a smile, "My Daoist friend, would you truly be willing to share your secret?"

"Of course, I am willing! We are friends bound by life and death! What is there to conceal?"

He then whispered conspiratorially, "A high-tier secret realm exists within the Gloomy Swamp, and its emergence is imminent!"

"What did you just declare?!"

The stranger reacted with alarm, muttering, "A secret realm in the Gloomy Swamp? My Daoist friend, you seem to have indulged too much. You should return and rest."

The cultivators nearby, who had caught the mention of 'secret realm,' immediately fell silent. The previously boisterous tavern hall grew hushed.

Whether the tale held truth or not, there was no harm in listening.

"I assure you, I am not! This secret, I chanced upon it by pure accident!"

Under pressure to validate his claim, the cultivator emphatically declared, "If you doubt my words, venture to the edge of the swamp's underground depths and observe the myriad Array Patterns that adorn the area."

This specific detail piqued the interest of many cultivators.

Perhaps a personal investigation was indeed warranted?

Should the information prove accurate, wouldn't they be richly rewarded? Even if it proved to be false, the expenditure would merely be a modest amount of time.
