I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2358 Maple Leaf Mole

It is not suitable to stay in the secret realm for a long time, let alone to cultivate or refine spiritual objects.

After recovering, Chen Lin returned to reality.

Shattered Star Ring.

Several years have passed, and quite a few changes have taken place here.

The first thing is the change of power.

Because the Fallen Leaf Sect recruited disciples, the original power ranking changed, and the ranking of the Elders' Council also changed accordingly.

The biggest changes have been seen in the Li and Wang families.

After Li Wuxiang and Wang Zhe entered the inner sect of the Fallen Leaf Sect, they both gained the appreciation of the inner sect elders and were accepted as disciples by a powerful master, which can be said to be a meteoric rise.

Therefore, although the two companies were not strong enough, they still obtained important seats in the council of elders.

Second only to the Grand Elder.

The families of the other four outer disciples also rose in status, moving up significantly in the rankings.

Rankings represent benefits.

In addition to Xiaoxuan Island, the Wang family has now acquired an even larger island. This island produces a special ore, and under the unique laws of the Shattered Star Ring, the ore is renewable.

It was like becoming rich overnight.

The Li family also reclaimed all their former businesses and expanded on a small scale. However, the clan elites who left, such as Li Huaxuan, did not return, seemingly still wary of the mysterious organization mentioned above.

Find out.

Chen Lin did not show himself and returned directly to Deer Island via the Zodiac Secret Realm.

It's safer for him here.

Next, I began to try refining the Beauty Finger Flower.

Inside the Jade Pendant Cave.

The giant flower floats above the pool, filling the entire space with a sense of mystery.

Fortunately, as the level of this cave increased, the space became several times larger, and the flowers were also shrunk considerably by the suppression of the void beast, otherwise they would not have been able to be contained.

Even so, it was still incredibly impressive.

Chen Lin stood below and watched, secretly amazed. He never expected to encounter such a treasure while traveling.

However, figuring out how to refine this substance was giving him a major headache.

There are many records about this thing, but they are inconsistent. Some say it is a spiritual object formed by the power of rules, while others say it is a special spiritual plant, and the middle finger is the seed.

There is another explanation.

They believe that flowers are a gateway to a higher dimension, used to summon beings from higher dimensions. By revealing the owner of the finger, one can receive benefits from that being.

A wide variety of things.

The only thing missing is a specific method for refining it.

Do you have any suggestions?

Chen Lin asked Puda, who was standing next to him.

Puda shook his head.

"In the memories passed down in my clan, the description of this item is also very vague, but one thing is certain: the petals can be directly refined and used to enhance vitality."

"life……"

Chen Lin muttered softly.

Based on the characteristics of the flower and his own experience, the fingers in the middle might truly be life forms conceived by the flower, only not yet fully formed.

But that's not right either.

The name of a spiritual object often reveals its essence.

Since it's called the Beauty Finger, then the appearance of the finger should be its ultimate form; otherwise, the Void Beast wouldn't have devoured it.

I pondered for a while.

Chen Lin leaped up and landed on the petals.

Instantly.

A surge of power flowed into his body, causing his natal runes to rotate on their own, and the life rules part to become exceptionally active.

But at the same time, he could also sense that this vitality was weakening.

The root cause is the fingers.

It's possible that the fingers are absorbing energy from the petals, or that the petals are using energy to pull the fingers to prevent them from 'retracting', or that the energy of the petals originates from the fingers.

The specific reason cannot be determined.

This left Chen Lin unsure whether it was better to refine the flower petals or not.

A decision was not made immediately.

Chen Lin cultivated while making subtle observations.

In just a few days.

He noticed that the energy of the petals was getting weaker and weaker, and his fingers were not as shiny as before, which made him dare not wait any longer.

After much deliberation.

He returned to reality, had Puda take care of his physical body, and then condensed his true soul body to re-enter the cave.

He also had the little white snake and the new sprout protect him.

Then he flew to the base of the finger in the center of the flower and tentatively burrowed inside, trying to find out whether the finger came from the outside or grew from the flower itself.

The soul easily slipped inside, and then discovered that deep within the flower's heart was a ball of light.

The fingers emerged from this ball of light.

"Could they really be beings from a higher dimension?"

This scene secretly surprised and puzzled Chen Lin.

However, perception is limited here, making it impossible to determine the situation within the light cluster.

I thought about it.

Chen Lin pushed the Heavenly Eye to its limit and gradually approached it.

The mystique surrounding the "Beauty Finger" in legends suggests that if it attracts beings from higher dimensions, it could very well originate from outside the so-called "Book of Creation," requiring careful examination.

"Ok?"

As he drew closer, Chen Lin vaguely noticed something at the base of the fingers inside the ball of light.

But it's not very clear.

After a moment's hesitation, he didn't act rashly, but instead withdrew from the flower bud and returned outside.

First, a fragment of his soul was separated and entrusted to the mortal realm for safekeeping.

Then it enters the flower's stamen again.

Without hesitation, after observing the ball of light but finding nothing, he slipped inside.

It was not obstructed.

Like leaping into water, creating ripples.

Before Chen Lin could continue observing, he felt his soul rapidly dissipate, leaving only the part with 'that characteristic' before stabilizing. He felt a slight sense of relief.

Look at the fingers in front of me again.

Now I can see it clearly.

At the base of the finger, there was a light pink, maple leaf-shaped spot that looked like a mole.

Chen Lin was greatly disappointed.

He thought it would be something like a storage ring.

Having failed to obtain the opportunity and also unable to determine the origin of the finger, Chen Lin lost interest and withdrew his soul.

Then I stopped thinking about it.

He began refining flowers to cultivate.

The legend says that seeing the "beauty finger" signifies unexpected benefits, even instant success, but it now appears to be mostly a myth.

This is actually a special kind of spiritual plant.

However, Chen Lin still held onto a sliver of hope. Instead of refining the petals first, he floated his body on his fingertips and tentatively pierced them with a crystal needle, trying to collect the sap from them.

But he immediately frowned.

This finger, which looks incredibly real, is actually an illusion!
Once the crystal needle is inserted, it feels as if it's piercing the air; there's no sensation at all.

He came to the petals again.

Gently prick it.

The petals trembled instantly, and an extremely pure energy emanated from the needle hole, continuously filling the entire cave with vitality, causing the spiritual plants inside and outside the pool to grow rapidly.

Seeing this, Chen Lin's expression softened.

Even if the snow-white fingers were just for show, these flower petals alone made it worth the risk of his life to bring them back.

Moreover, the energy of the petals can not only help spiritual plants grow, but also heal wounds, improve life level, and rapidly enhance cultivation, making it equivalent to an enhanced version of the variegated crystal marrow.

If the juice could be preserved for a long time.

From now on, I won't have to worry about replenishing my energy from the mortal world and the Seven Star Spoon anymore.

"Buzz!"

As Chen Lin extracted the juice from the petals, the entire flower suddenly trembled.

The snow-white finger in the middle began to shimmer, then trembled slightly, gradually contracting towards the inside of the flower's pistil.

Chen Lin's eyes flickered.

After a moment's thought, he once again manipulated his true soul body and burrowed into the flower's stamen.

Arrive in front of the ball of light.

really.

The ball of light dimmed considerably, but the situation inside could be vaguely seen.

In that case...

The intensity of energy erosion will certainly weaken.

Twisting the crystal needle in his hand, Chen Lin gritted his teeth, gripped the needle and thrust it forward towards the maple leaf mole on his finger.

The moment the soul entered the ball of light, it was immediately eroded.

However, it was weaker than last time, and the soul did not immediately dissipate.

Chen Lin moved with lightning speed, precisely piercing the maple leaf mole with the crystal needle, but he couldn't penetrate it completely, only breaking through a layer of skin.

A drop of crystal-clear liquid fell.

He was overjoyed.

Immediately take out the prepared seven-star spoon to catch it.

The liquid fell steadily into the spoon.

Before I could even observe, my finger jerked back in pain, and then I pointed it at him.

Chen Lin's soul body collapsed instantly, and the last bit of his essence surged violently, several times more intensely than before, but in the end it still managed to stabilize.

And at this time

The ball of light dissipated, and without energy support, the finger slowly retracted.

When Chen Lin came to his senses, he found himself standing on the flower's stamen, while Puda held a golden battle axe and solemnly looked down at the flower.

"Is Master alright?"

Seeing that Chen Lin was in a weak state, Puda asked him with concern.

"is acceptable."

Chen Lin replied.

Although he was badly injured, he was still in a good mood because he received a drop of 'blood' from his finger.

Carefully carrying the Seven Star Spoon, he flew up and said to Puda, "Bring your sister over here. I'll help her refine the energy in the petals."

"Thank you, sir!"

Puda's face lit up with joy, and he clasped his hands in a fist salute as he flew down below.

Chen Lin examined the flowers and, after confirming that there was nothing wrong, took out a container to collect the liquid.

However, I didn't dare to pour it directly.

Instead, I first touched the liquid inside the spoon with the edge of the container.

The container then turned into nothingness.

"How domineering!"

Chen Lin clicked his tongue in amazement.

He had previously suspected that the energy in his fingers was too much for a regular container to handle, which is why he used the Seven Star Spoon to catch it, and his prediction was indeed correct.

But that's how it works.

Storage became a major problem.

He couldn't keep it in the Seven Star Spoon forever; this treasure was his strongest trump card.

then.

Chen Lin tried several different containers, but none of them worked.

no way.

You can only use a seven-star spoon to put it aside first, and then start extracting the juice from the petals.

Fortunately, the petal juice was normal and could be stored in a specially made jade bottle; otherwise, Chen Lin would have been in real trouble.

Time passed little by little.

Half an hour later.

All the petals have been extracted.

Although the petals are large, not much juice was extracted; there were only six bottles in total. However, this juice is much more effective than Pandanus Crystal Essence, and it will be enough for him to use for a while.

Chen Lin sent all the energy from the central stamen into Puda's sister's body and helped her refine it.

It recovered quickly.
