Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

164: Chapter 164 The Birth of Miaohua!Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven, Hall of Longevity.

Gu Yan closed his eyes and focused on Cultivating.

In the blink of an eye, another five years passed.

His Realm had steadily advanced from Profound Immortal Second Level to Profound Immortal Third Level.

To him, matters of the Spirit Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Immortal Realm...

...were temporarily unrelated to him.

He only needed to Cultivate in peace.

However, on this day, there was some movement outside the Hall of Longevity.

This actually took him by surprise.

Within this Grotto-Heaven, there was almost no one who dared to come outside the Hall of Longevity to disturb his peaceful Cultivation.

Gu Yan extended his Divine Sense and was immediately slightly taken aback.

Outside the Hall of Longevity, that nine revolutions profound heaven marvelous flower immortal lotus was currently emitting a hazy radiance.

The lotus petals trembled gently, and Spiritual Qi surged.

Within the heart of the lotus, a tiny figure was slowly condensing and taking shape.

Gu Yan stood up and walked outside the hall.

He stood by the lotus pond, quietly watching this scene before him.

The nine revolutions profound heaven marvelous flower immortal lotus was something he had obtained back then from the immortal lord fuzhe - red entry.

He remembered very clearly that this lotus had nine layers of petals, with one layer opening every thousand years, requiring nine thousand years for all nine layers to open.

When the flower bloomed, a spirit would be nurtured in the heart of the lotus, named Fairy Miaohua.

This spirit was naturally close to the Dao, and if carefully nurtured, it could transform into a true flower Fairy after ten thousand years, possessing a Foundation no weaker than a Golden Immortal.

But now...

He calculated the time.

From the time he obtained this lotus until now, not even five hundred years had passed.

How was it already nurturing a living being?

Gu Yan was surprised, his gaze falling on the tiny figure gradually taking shape.

A moment later, the lotus petals fully unfolded.

In the heart of the lotus, a little girl who looked to be about five or six years old sat cross-legged quietly.

She was petite, with skin like snow and long hair draped down; her features were as exquisite as if she had walked out of a painting.

It was just that her expression... was quite aloof.

Despite her young age, there was no expression on her face.

She sat quietly in the heart of the lotus, neither crying nor making a fuss, just watching her surroundings silently.

Gu Yan assessed her Realm.

Foundation Establishment.

Although weak, at least she had Foundation Establishment Realm upon transformation.

He had thought this lotus would directly nurture a grown-up Fairy.

He hadn’t expected it to be a little girl.

Sigh, for a moment, Gu Yan felt a little disappointed.

He stood by the pond, locking eyes with the little girl for a moment.

The little girl didn’t speak either, just looked at him quietly, her gaze cold and clear, possessing quite a bit of the demeanor of an immortal family.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yan raised his hand, using immortal essence magic power to condense a set of small clothes, and gently sent them in front of the little girl.

The little girl looked down at the clothes, then looked up at Gu Yan, before slowly standing up and taking the clothes.

Although her movements were slow, they were very deft; in a few moments, she had put the clothes on neatly.

It was a pale cyan dress, which set off her jade-like skin, looking quite beautiful.

After putting on the clothes, the little girl stepped out of the lotus heart and landed by the pond.

She looked up at Gu Yan and said, ”The aura on your body... feels so close.”

Her voice was cold and clear, with a hint of childishness.

She paused, then added, ”Are you my father?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan’s emotions became even more complicated.

Everything was fine, how did he become a father?

He should be the master, right?

Before, the girl Red Lotus also liked to call him father, and now this one also called him father.

Do these lotus-types all like to treat the first person they see as their father?

Sigh, forget it, forget it. Father it is.

Gu Yan nodded.

Seeing him nod, although there was no major change in the little girl’s expression, her eyes clearly brightened a little.

She asked again, ”Father, what is my name?”

Gu Yan thought about it. Fairy Miaohua.

She was nurtured by this lotus, so the name was ready-made.

”How about Miaohua?”

Hearing this, the little girl tilted her head slightly, as if savoring the name.

A moment later, she nodded: ”Okay.”

Gu Yan looked at this little girl and calculated in his mind.

He was Cultivating himself, so he definitely didn’t have time to raise a child.

He needed to find someone to take care of her.

Over at the Taiyi Dao Sect, there was a ready-made candidate.

He bent down and picked up Miaohua.

The little girl’s body was light and weightless; when she was picked up, her body stiffened slightly, but she soon relaxed and leaned quietly in his arms.

Gu Yan moved his body, darting towards the direction of the Taiyi Dao Sect.

...

Taiyi Dao Sect, a certain quiet courtyard.

Hu Tao was sitting in the courtyard, holding a Dao scripture in her hands, reading until she was drowsy.

The girl Red Lotus was squatting in the courtyard, holding a branch and teasing the ants on the ground.

These two, one big and one small, were living a leisurely life.

Gu Yan’s figure landed in the courtyard.

Hu Tao was startled, quickly standing up: ”Junior Martial Uncle?”

Red Lotus also dropped the branch, trotted over, looked up at Gu Yan, and called out crisply: ”Father!”

Gu Yan nodded at them and put down the Miaohua in his arms.

”This is Miaohua. From now on, I’ll leave her in your care.”

Hu Tao looked down at the porcelain-like little girl in front of her, then looked at Gu Yan, and then at Red Lotus, her mouth twitching slightly.

”Junior Martial Uncle, are you... picking up another one?”

”It’s not picked up, it was nurtured by that lotus in front of the Hall of Longevity.”

Gu Yan explained briefly, and then introduced to Miaohua: ”This is Hu Tao, you will follow her from now on.”

Miaohua looked up at Hu Tao, nodded slightly, and didn’t speak.

Hu Tao squatted down, assessed Miaohua, then looked at Red Lotus on the side, and couldn’t help but sigh.

”Junior Martial Uncle, won’t this little girl also be like the Red Lotus girl, unable to grow up?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan’s gaze fell on Red Lotus.

Red Lotus blinked her eyes, looking innocent.

She was an Immortal King Realm in her past life, and now that nearly a hundred years had passed in this life, she was still in this little girl’s appearance.

It seemed that the injury was indeed difficult to recover from.

However, Gu Yan suddenly thought of a problem.

Red Lotus was the Reincarnation of the nine revolutions reincarnation immortal lotus; that lotus had originally been by Red Lotus’s side, but later he handed Red Lotus to Hu Tao to raise, and the lotus remained in front of the Hall of Longevity.

Could it be that because the lotus was not by her side, it caused problems with Red Lotus’s recovery?

The more Gu Yan thought about it, the more he felt this was possible.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward.

He coughed lightly and comforted, ”Raising one is the same as raising two. Maybe there will be more for you to raise in the future.”

When he said this, he was thinking that he still had a Creation Life Tree.

That tree could also nurture living beings, it just hadn’t been born yet.

He didn’t know if it would be born as a child or directly turn into an adult in the future.

After hearing this, the expression on Hu Tao’s face was very colorful.

Even more?

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but eventually swallowed it back.

Forget it, whatever Junior Martial Uncle says, it is.

Gu Yan looked at Hu Tao’s hesitant expression and smiled.

”I won’t let you help for nothing.”

He raised his hand, a flash of light in his palm, and a small bell appeared in his hand.

The bell was silver-white, engraved with intricate patterns, emitting a faint luster in the sunlight.

”This item is called the Heaven Sound Cleansing Heart Bell.” Gu Yan handed the bell to Hu Tao.

”It is of the Immortal Magic Treasure grade. When shaken, the sound it emits is extremely pleasant, which can cleanse the heart and focus the mind, and increase Cultivation. It is of great help to practice.”

Of course, for him, this thing was no longer of any use.

But giving it to Hu Tao was just right.

Hu Tao took the bell and shook it gently.

A crisp bell sound rang out, like a clear spring hitting a stone, like a breeze brushing a bell.

She only felt her spiritual platform clear up, and the Spiritual Qi around her became much more active.

”Good stuff!” Hu Tao’s eyes lit up, and she played with the bell, unable to put it down, ”Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle!”

Gu Yan nodded and looked at Red Lotus on the side.

He raised his hand and cast a Divine Ability.

A moment later, a red light flew from the direction of the Hall of Longevity and landed in his palm.

It was the nine revolutions reincarnation immortal lotus.

The lotus flower was delicate and dripping with beauty, with a few dewdrops on its petals, emitting a faint spiritual light.

Gu Yan turned the red lotus into a tiny flower and gently wore it on the head of the girl Red Lotus.

The girl Red Lotus reached out and touched the flower on her head, a big smile blooming on her face: ”Pretty!”

Gu Yan bent down and touched her head.

It felt good.

Miaohua, on the side, watched this scene quietly without speaking.

But Gu Yan caught a glimpse of her eyes from the corner of his eye.

On that cold and clear little face, although there was not much change in expression, her eyes were clearly looking at the flower on Red Lotus’s head.

Gu Yan understood in his heart.

This little girl, though she didn’t say it, wanted it in her heart.

He smiled, straightened up, and another flash of light passed through his palm.

A small jade pendant appeared in his hand.

The jade pendant was emerald green, engraved with a lotus flower pattern.

”This item is called the Spirit Nourishing Heart Protecting Pendant.” Gu Yan handed the jade pendant to Miaohua.

”It is also an Immortal Magic Treasure grade. Wearing it on your body can nourish the Divine Soul and protect the heart pulse.”

Miaohua took the jade pendant, and her cold, clear eyes were a bit brighter than before.

Gu Yan gave a few more instructions.

”Miaohua has just transformed and doesn’t understand many things, so you should teach her more.” He said to Hu Tao.

”Whether it’s Cultivating or playing, just take her with you.”

Hu Tao nodded: ”Junior Martial Uncle, don’t worry, I understand.”

Gu Yan took out three jade talismans and handed them to Hu Tao, Red Lotus, and Miaohua respectively.

”If you encounter any trouble, crush the jade talisman and you will be able to contact me.”

The three of them nodded in unison.

After Gu Yan finished explaining these things, he looked at Miaohua again.

Speaking of which, he was not really surprised that Miaohua was born ahead of schedule.

There were too many good things placed next to that nine revolutions profound heaven marvelous flower immortal lotus.

The nine-qi chaoyuan tree swallowed and spat out nine kinds of Spiritual Qi day and night, nourishing the four directions of the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven.

The chaos green lotus phantom dao seed was also simultaneously influencing everything around it imperceptibly.

Perhaps it was the existence of these two things that allowed Miaohua to be nurtured and born ahead of schedule.

This also saved him thousands of years of waiting.

Gu Yan withdrew his gaze, moved his body, and returned to the Hall of Longevity.

For him, today’s matter was just a small episode.

He still needed to Cultivate.

Behind him, Hu Tao watched the direction where Gu Yan left.

She looked down at the quiet little girl in front of her, and then looked at the little Red Lotus on the side who was narcissistically touching the red lotus flower on her head.

She sighed, squatted down, and showed a smile to Miaohua.

”Let’s go, little Miaohua, big sister will take you around.”
