High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 620 Saint-Rank Top-Grade Precious Medicine

The next day, early in the morning.

When the first rays of dawn pierced through the perpetual spiritual mist of the Tai Xuan Holy Land and shone on the white jade steps outside the Holy Son's cave, this hangover that had lasted for a full day and night finally came to an end.

The "Saint's Intoxication" brought by Gu Changkong truly lived up to its name. The potency of the wine, which contained fragments of the laws of heaven and earth, required a long time for even a Saint's physical body to slowly digest.

It wasn't until the sky was completely bright that Gu Changkong rubbed his throbbing temples and slowly got up from the cold ground.

He circulated his own sacred laws to evaporate the alcohol fumes from his body, and a hint of melancholy, as if waking from a deep dream, flashed across his expression.

"Brother Xiao, yesterday's drinking session was truly the most enjoyable day I've had in the past six months."

Gu Changkong looked at Lin Hanzhou, who had also "just woken up" and was sitting cross-legged breathing exercises, cupped his hands, and sighed with a wry smile.

"The sacred land is currently in turmoil and overwhelmed with affairs. I still need to inspect the core of the mountain-protecting formation."

"You have just broken through to the Dao Severing Realm, and your realm still needs to be stabilized. So stay in the cave and cultivate in seclusion."

After saying that, Gu Changkong transformed into a streak of azure light and left Saint Son Peak with a slightly desolate air.

Lin Hanzhou stood at the entrance of the cave, watching Gu Changkong's departing figure. The feigned drunkenness in his eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a deep gaze.

Less than half an hour after Gu Changkong left, the Supreme Saint Lord of Tai Xuan arrived.

When he met Lin Hanzhou, he praised him repeatedly, just like Gu Changkong had.

"Great! Excellent!"

The Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan nodded repeatedly, his tone filled with undisguised admiration.

"In just six months, he crossed the chasm from the sixth level of Sendai and entered the realm of Dao Severing."

"This talent, which is rare throughout history, has never appeared even during the heyday of my Tai Xuan Holy Land."

"You truly are the hope of my Tai Xuan."

At this point, the Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan sighed deeply and spoke earnestly.

"The external situation is currently turbulent, with the three holy lands eyeing us covetously, and the people within the holy lands are also filled with anxiety."

"But you don't need to be bothered by these worldly distractions. You only have one task: to cultivate without any distractions."

"To help you ascend to the Holy Realm as soon as possible, I personally retrieved this peerless treasure for you last night."

With a slight flick of his wrist, the Supreme Lord of the Great Profound Realm revealed a jade box emanating a faint, chilling aura in his palm.

As the jade box slowly opened, a strange and exotic fragrance that sent shivers down one's spine instantly filled the entire cave.

Inside the jade box lay a crystal-clear lotus flower, its entire body a deep blue.

This lotus flower seemed not to be a physical entity, but rather formed from some kind of pure soul power. Each petal was as transparent as crystal, and inside, one could even see shimmering points of light, like stars.

"This is... a top-grade Saint-level medicinal treasure, the Soul-Nourishing Lotus!"

Lin Hanzhou's pupils suddenly contracted, and he deliberately pretended to be extremely shocked.

Of course he recognizes this thing.

The Soul-Nourishing Lotus is a peerless spiritual treasure that grows in the extremely cold and dark lands, sprouting once every five thousand years and blooming once every five thousand years.

It does not cultivate the physical body, but nourishes the spirit.

For almost any cultivator, this is a priceless treasure capable of triggering a bloodbath.

Let alone those at the Dao-Slaying Realm, even for those saints or great saints who have condensed the Holy Dao Laws, this Soul-Nourishing Lotus has an immeasurable and enormous effect, enabling their divine soul origin to undergo a qualitative leap.

"Indeed, it is the Soul-Nourishing Lotus."

A subtle, calculating glint flashed in the eyes of the Supreme Saint Master. He gently pushed the jade box in front of Lin Hanzhou and said softly.

"Your physical body has been tempered by the Heavenly Flame and is already flawless. But the cultivation of your soul requires the sedimentation of time."

"By consuming this Soul-Nourishing Lotus, your soul strength will be greatly enhanced."

"At that time, you will be able to easily overcome both the great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the inner demons that lead to sainthood."

Lin Hanzhou accepted the jade box with trembling hands, his eyes seemingly reddening with emotion.

"Disciple...thanks to the Holy Lord's grace! This disciple will surely repay the sect's great kindness even at the cost of my life!"

"Go, refine it well."

The Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan patted Lin Hanzhou on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then his figure slowly disappeared into the cave in a spatial distortion.

Upon realizing that the other party's presence had completely disappeared, the expression of gratitude on Lin Hanzhou's face vanished instantly.

He did not immediately touch the alluring Soul-Nourishing Lotus. Instead, he closed his eyes and used his immense spiritual power to thoroughly examine the Saint-level treasure.

At first, when the divine soul swept over it, the Soul-Nourishing Lotus was pure and flawless, and its vast spiritual power was as alluring as a boundless ocean, without any abnormalities.

But this could not fool Lin Hanzhou's intuition.

Finally, deep within the lotus flower, in a barely perceptible petal pattern, he discovered an unusual fluctuation that was almost completely integrated with the aura of the Soul-Nourishing Lotus itself.

It was a perfectly hidden soul imprint!

"Ha, so it was indeed sabotaged."

Lin Hanzhou's eyes instantly became incredibly deep, like two ancient wells, unfathomable.

Without even thinking, he could guess what this thing was for.

This is an extremely vicious ancient method of controlling the soul.

Once he swallows the Soul-Nourishing Lotus without any precautions, the mark hidden deep within will take root directly in his soul's origin through the medicinal power, becoming completely bound to his soul.

At that time, the Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan only needs a tiny thought to turn him into a mindless walking corpse who obeys his every command.

"Old man, you finally couldn't hold back anymore and are preparing to make your move against me."

Lin Hanzhou sneered inwardly.

"Originally, I secretly joined the Purple Cloud Holy Land, still hesitating whether to really give the Tai Xuan Holy Land a ruthless backstab. I still had a tiny, insignificant moral burden in my heart. But now it seems..."

"Since you were unrighteous first, don't blame me for being unrighteous later. I will have no qualms about betraying you, you old scheming bastard."

Lin Hanzhou did not choose to use brute force to forcibly erase the mark.

This mark came from a master at the Saint King level. If it is powerfully damaged, the Supreme Saint Lord will definitely sense it immediately.

Alerting the enemy by stirring up trouble is definitely not the situation Lin Hanzhou wants.

What he wanted was to turn the tables on the other side.
