Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1578: Chapter 1562: Golden Lotus Seed

At the same time, Qibao’s lips moved slightly. With each opening and closing, a string of strange words emerged from the little one’s mouth.

Huo Sining was instantly stunned. She had originally thought that the ancient teachings Qibao spoke of were in a language they could understand. However, the eerie-sounding phrases Qibao recited were beyond her comprehension, and even Zhou Shitao might not understand them if he were here.

Like reciting an incantation or conducting some ancient inheritance ritual, Qibao’s string of ancient teachings lasted for several minutes. The fact that this kid could remember such a long chant was a feat, for any other child might have long forgotten this bizarre language to the distant lands of Java.

Just as Huo Sining marveled in amazement, Qibao suddenly shuddered, and at that moment, a surge of Spiritual Energy that felt very familiar to Huo Sining burst from the child’s wrist, flowing along the meridians, and directly shot out from his index finger.

As that surge of energy reached the giant python’s forehead, a golden light suddenly appeared. Huo Sining clearly saw that the Spiritual Energy, as it entered the giant snake’s body, erupted in a beam of light that shot straight towards the Golden Lotus on the green pond, illuminating the entire plant with golden light.

In an instant, the previously budding Pure Lotus seemed to be baptized, growing more beautifully radiant and dripping with vitality.

Soon, the flower bud began to unfold slowly, petal by petal, quietly unfurling. On the open blossom, it released dazzling golden light.

”This is...”

Gu Xu, Mr. Huang, and Master Chen had not seen the Spiritual Energy that gushed from Qibao during his incantation or the light beam that flew from the giant python. They only saw the peculiar lotus flower swaying and blooming in the clear pond water. Upon seeing the lotus blossom emit dazzling golden light, they were momentarily astonished.

The Golden Lotus plant is one of the symbols of Taoism and Buddhism, representing the purity and refinement of those who pursue spiritual enlightenment in the impure and evil world, polishing their achievements.

However, such a plant has only been recorded in legendary biographies and rare books, and most people assume it’s fabricated. It has never been seen in real life.

Yet at this moment, upon witnessing this dazzling spectacle, the only thought left in everyone’s mind was that the Golden Lotus truly existed!

Upon entering this Space, seeing the lotus flower growing in the pool, Gu Xu felt especially puzzled.

This lotus, in a pitch-black void without direct sunlight, couldn’t possibly photosynthesize. How did it grow green leaves, and how did it sustain its life? Moreover, the lotus looked so lush and vibrant.

Now seeing the lotus bloom, even emitting golden light, Gu Xu was speechless, only dumbfounded, with a face full of bewilderment and shock.

By this time, Qibao had finished the incantation, the giant python broke free from Qibao’s restraint, and as if smelling something, turned and swam towards the pond.

After the python entered the deep pond, it dove straight to the bottom, but all attention remained on the lotus flower blooming with golden light in the clear pond, so no one noticed the python’s movements.

After the Golden Lotus bloomed, it quickly withered, and a green pod appeared beneath it.

However, what was strange was that the pod did not resemble the usual pod filled with seeds like a honeycomb. In fact, on that pod, only one seed grew prominently in the center.

As the pod grew bigger, the single seed also grew rapidly, and during this process, a faint golden light occasionally flickered.

This strange phenomenon stunned everyone, while standing not far away, Mr. Huang felt a surge of greed.

This Golden Lotus Seed he had never seen before, being hidden at the center of this Underground Palace, certainly had something peculiar about it, possibly even related to that certain thing.

With this thought, Mr. Huang’s vision no longer allowed anyone else to touch this Golden Lotus Seed. He quietly stepped towards the pond water while secretly pulling a pistol from his pocket.

As he reached the edge of the clear pond, the others noticed that Mr. Huang’s expression seemed amiss.

Huo Sining and Gu Xu exchanged glances, both of their brows involuntarily furrowing tightly.

Over there, Master Chen was about to warn Mr. Huang about the giant python in the pond when, unexpectedly, Mr. Huang suddenly brandished the handgun and, while approaching the pond, aimed it at Huo Sining and the others, sneering coldly:

”Don’t move! Miss Huo, I believe our objectives are different. You came to catch the Oil Rat and that surnamed Gao, but I came to the Underground Palace for treasure. Since that’s the case, I don’t think you’ll compete with me for this Golden Lotus Seed, right?”

None of them had expected Mr. Huang to resort to this tactic. Although Huo Sining wasn’t particularly interested in the Underground Palace’s treasures, that didn’t mean she wasn’t intrigued by this Golden Lotus Seed.

In fact, she was filled with shock.

Among the people present, she might be the most familiar with the Golden Lotus.

After all, she had two sprouted Golden Lotus Plants in her storage ring, with one even in bud. In addition, she also had six Golden Lotus Seeds.

Since Golden Lotus Plants grow slowly, even with Huo Sining using Spiritual Energy as nourishment, their growth rate was extremely limited. Huo Sining had searched for much related information over the past two years but found nothing useful.

She had once suspected the Golden Lotus Plant after learning accidentally that Fujiwara Seiho wanted to send it to a place called the ARC Mutation Research Institute for research.

But since the ARC laboratory was extremely secretive, she couldn’t investigate anything useful. Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, she witnessed the Golden Lotus’s entire growth process here.

This made Huo Sining very curious, wondering what purpose this Golden Lotus Seed served if it grew this way.

Unlike Mr. Huang, Huo Sining wanted to approach the Golden Lotus Seed because she believed it could unravel her mysteries. With so many Golden Lotus Seeds in her possession, she was anxious to know if this newly grown one differed from the ones she had.

Moreover, Huo Sining had a feeling this Golden Lotus Seed was likely related to the sacred artifact guarded by the descendants of the Miao King, mentioned by Qibao’s grandmother. If Mr. Huang took this seed, Huo Sining feared that the sacred artifact might also be taken away.
