Chapter 42

Taichu Divine Sect, Sutra Library

"Junior Brother Su, are you sure you want to choose this magical power?"

Ji Chang looked at the magical power that Su Chen had chosen after a long time and asked uncertainly.

The advice revealed in his words seemed to indicate that he was not very keen on choosing this magical power.

It's not that Ji Chang didn't wish Su Chen well, but he felt that Su Chen's choice this time was... a little too risky.

"No, Senior Brother Ji, I think this magical power is quite suitable for me, so I'll take it."

"Okay, it's up to you to decide."

"Um."

Su Chen nodded, took the magical power book called "Green Lotus Pupil," and came to the guardian of the Sutra Repository.

After confirming that there was no problem with Su Chen's identity, the Sutra Keeper waved his hand, and a jade slip wrapped in a golden ball of light flew in front of Su Chen.

What is recorded in this jade slip is the practice method of 'Green Lotus Pupil'.

What he originally held in his hand was just a rubbing to help the disciples in the sect understand the content of the spell.

After the Scripture Guardian finished what he was supposed to do, he said expressionlessly, "The jade slip cannot be taken out and cannot be copied. You have three days to memorize the contents of the jade slip. If you fail, it will be taken back."

After saying this, the keeper of the Sutra Repository closed his eyes again and returned to silence.

At this point, Ji Chang's mission as a guide was completed.

After exchanging a few simple greetings with Su Chen, he left the Sutra Library.

Su Chen came alone to a quiet room in the Sutra Library and began to perceive the information recorded in the jade slip.

Green Lotus Pupil—this is the highest-grade magical power that Su Chen has come across so far.

The function of this magical skill is just as its name suggests; it is specifically used to cultivate pupil techniques.

After Su Chen carefully read the cultivation method of 'Green Lotus Pupil', he couldn't help but gasp.

"The method of cultivating the Green Lotus Pupils... is too difficult."

It is different from the Purple Cloud Divine Light Technique, which only needs to be practiced when the purple cloud is just rising and can be improved little by little over time.

The method of cultivating the Green Lotus Pupil is very special, requiring the cultivator to drip special lotus jade liquid on the eyes.

Then he practiced the method to allow the lotus jade liquid to slowly strengthen the cultivator's pupils, slowly forming special lotus pupils.

This method of practice is not only cumbersome but also requires a lot of resources.

After all, the lotus jade liquid needed to practice the Green Lotus Pupil cannot be refined from an ordinary lotus.

Instead, he needs those spiritual lotuses.

But if the practice was just tedious, Ji Chang would not have advised Su Chen to change his magical power.

The real difficulty of the Green Lotus Pupils lies in its "opening of the pupil," which is full of uncertainty.

The most special thing about the green lotus pupils is that when different people practice this magical power, the final results may vary greatly.

This difference is reflected in the Green Lotus pupils and the quality of the Green Lotus pupil after it is opened.

There are three grades of lotus pupils: low-grade gray lotus, mid-grade white lotus, and high-grade green lotus.

If you can open a top-grade Green Lotus Pupil, then what you are practicing is the real Green Lotus Pupil Technique.

And if the pupils that open are white lotus pupils or gray lotus pupils, then even if you have practiced the pupil technique to perfection,

Its final effect will also be greatly reduced, not even 20% or 30% as good as the Green Lotus Pupil.

This kind of supernatural power is difficult to practice, consumes a lot of resources, and cannot guarantee the effectiveness of practice.

Naturally, it was abandoned by most monks.

After all, how many cultivators would like to spend a lot of resources and time cultivating a defective magical power?

Therefore, during the thousands of years that the Green Lotus Pupil existed in the Taichu Divine Sect, hundreds of people cultivated this magical power.

There are still very few people who can develop the 'Green Lotus Pupils'.

To the extent that, up to now, the Green Lotus Pupils have reached the point where no one cares about them.

Normally, Su Chen would not have chosen this magical power that relies heavily on luck.

But when he picked up the rubbing of the Green Lotus Pupils, the appearance of a piece of information made him finally make up his mind.

[Special skill: Green Lotus Pupils detected. Prerequisites met to enter the entry-level...]

[Green Lotus Pupils Prerequisites for Entry]

[1. Gray Lotus Pupils: 100 experience points, 10-year spiritual lotus essence*1]

[2. White Lotus Pupil: 1000 experience points, 100-year-old Spiritual Lotus Essence*1]

[3. Green Lotus Pupil: 10,000 experience points, 1,000-year-old Spiritual Lotus Essence*1]

The entry conditions for the skill were a special reminder that had appeared before when Su Chen was practicing alchemy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so determined to refine a furnace of Qi Gathering Pills.

That's not just because this is the entrance examination for menial disciples at Danyang Peak.

This is also because this is a prerequisite for Su Chen to learn alchemy.

Only after meeting this prerequisite can he transform alchemy into a skill on the panel and increase the skill level by gaining experience points.

The reason why he did not jump out of the so-called prerequisite entry conditions when he learned other skills before.

Su Chen speculated that this might be because the skills he had practiced before had a relatively low entry threshold.

The only relatively special Purple Cloud Divine Light Technique is one whose practice condition is only to practice it when Purple Cloud is just born.

Although these conditions are harsh, they are not difficult to achieve.

As for skills like Water Dragon Roar and Floating Cloud Steps, there is no need to say more.

There are no special conditions for practice at all. It all depends on your understanding.

Compared to alchemy, you only need to make a batch of pills to complete the prerequisite for entry.

Getting started with the Green Lotus Pupils skill is undoubtedly much more difficult.

"Ten thousand experience points and a thousand-year-old spiritual lotus. These requirements are demanding."

Ten thousand experience points are still easy to deal with, but this thousand-year-old spiritual lotus is a bit difficult to deal with.

You should know that the thousand-year-old spiritual lotus itself has the effect of "calming the spirit and concentrating the mind" and "cleansing the essence and marrow.".

It is a medicinal ingredient commonly used by many alchemists when making elixirs, and it is in great demand.

Although there are many thousand-year-old spiritual lotuses in the Taichu Divine Sect.

But ninety-nine percent of these spiritual lotuses were given to the veteran alchemists in Danyang Peak.

Not to mention whether Su Chen is qualified to exchange for the Millennium Spirit Lotus from the sect.

Even if he had, it would be difficult for him to come up with the required contribution points at the moment.

After all, if he remembered correctly, it would take five thousand contribution points to exchange for a thousand-year-old spiritual lotus.

According to his current progress in obtaining sect contribution points, he would need to go without food or drink for about fifty years to achieve this.

Spending fifty years to cultivate a magical power was undoubtedly not in line with Su Chen's requirements.

After all, with this much time, he might have successfully built his foundation.

But as the saying goes, rules are dead, people are alive.

After some thought, Su Chen came up with a way to obtain the Millennium Spirit Lotus without spending a lot of contribution points.

The core of this method lies in the new skill he had unlocked before basic alchemy.

"Danyang Peak is different from other peaks. The elders in the peak pay more attention to the disciples' alchemy level than their cultivation level."

"If I can show my extremely high talent in alchemy, I will surely be valued by the elders at their peak."

"In this case, if I ask them for a thousand-year-old spiritual lotus on the pretext of refining an elixir, it shouldn't be a difficult task."

"And what could better demonstrate my talent for alchemy than improving my alchemy skills to a high level in a short period?"

"Geniuses should always have some privileges over ordinary people."

Thinking of this, Su Chen's thoughts gradually became clear.
