Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 531: Chapter 523 Transforming the Lotus Platform

There are not a few special existences like this between heaven and earth.

Some big rivers and streams are commonly acknowledged. After a long time of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and gathering human faith, they grant blessings to all beings in the region and attain a great virtue, with the possibility of becoming a special existence.

This cold spring is far inferior to those extremely famous mountains, rivers, and lakes.

Its nurturing time must have been shorter, and the energy it possesses is smaller.

But for Qin Niu, this cold spring is still an incredible existence and a great opportunity.

Like a greedy serpent greedily devouring everything, he was continuously absorbing the cold energy of this cold spring. The Ice Lotus in the alchemy stove, nourished by the cold energy, was also growing and enlarging rapidly.

This change even far surpassed the benefits brought about by the cultivation power of the Everlasting Spring Technique.

The cultivation power of the Everlasting Spring Technique could help plants rapidly recover their vitality, speed up their growth, and even induce some high-level evolutions.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The energy from the cold spring, however, enabled the Ice Lotus to blossom beautifully; its interior was quietly undergoing changes.

The Ice Lotus was originally much weaker than the Fire Lotus, but at this moment, it was rapidly getting stronger, closing the gap with the Fire Lotus.

As time passed, Qin Niu gradually emerged from the bottom of the river to the surface, standing erect with his hands spread out in front of his chest, his eyes closed.

Under his feet was an alchemy stove formed of concentrated cultivation power, rapidly spinning.

A considerable amount of cold air was being absorbed into the stove.

On the opposite bank of the river, Chi Xing watched this scene in astonishment; he could see that Qin Niu was cultivating with the help of the cold spring. He envied this special ability.

Though the cold spring lay there, not everyone could utilize it to enhance their cultivation.

While the cold spring contained special energy of heaven and earth, it was different from the spiritual energy. Most human cultivators could only directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their use.

Qin Niu’s special ability was also obtained by a fortunate coincidence.

The birth of every great cultivator is inseparable from such special opportunities.

His body remained poised on the surface of the river, exposing only his head and shoulders, as if rooted to the spot. No matter how turbulent the flow, it could not shake him in the slightest.

It was initially thought that this cultivation session would soon end.

But unexpectedly, it lasted the entire night.

The next morning, at the crack of dawn, as the day slowly brightened and the sun rose in the east, Qin Niu was still motionlessly cultivating in the river.

The Diamond Ink Turtle remained loyally by his side, protecting him.

It was continuously maneuvering the river water, frolicking and playing, also improving its swimming skills.

Due to the long time spent absorbing the energy of the cold spring, the energy gathered had become less and less. However, his Ice Lotus had undergone significant changes, its emitted cold aura strengthening by at least double.

At this point, the Ice Lotus inside the alchemy stove slowly flew out and then gradually sank into the depths of the cold spring.

This was a change of its own accord; Qin Niu did not manipulate or command it.

The Ice Lotus had a certain degree of spirituality, perhaps feeling that the energy absorbed from the cold spring was too little, so it wanted to enter the deeper parts of the spring’s eye to absorb more cold spring energy.

As it rotated and sank deeper into the spring’s eye, the cold spring appeared to boil, beginning to produce a large number of bubbles.

The bubbles grew larger and larger, from the size of a fist to the size of a sea bowl, and eventually became as big as a pot lid.

Qin Niu focused solely on his cultivation, unmoving as a mountain.

When the sun was directly overhead, the bubbles rising from the spring’s eye began to decrease in number and size.

Centered on this spot, the entire river surface began to emit white cold air.

Qin Niu, in the middle of it all, had a layer of frost form on his eyebrows. His cultivation power from the Medicine King Sutra was also climbing steadily, even more effective than consuming miracle pills and elixirs.

His body, originally submerged in the river, was also slowly rising to the surface.

It seemed as though something was buoying his body upwards.

Until his body was completely above the river surface, underfoot a glitteringly transparent giant Ice Lotus appeared, measuring ten feet in size. The bottom of the Ice Lotus contracted to form a platform, constantly emitting chill cold air.

After absorbing the energy of the entire cold spring, it underwent a transformation as if reborn, evolving from an Ice Lotus into a Lotus Platform.

At this moment, Qin Niu appeared as though an Immortal Venerable from legends was born into this world, exuding an invisible aura of dignity that seemed sacred and inviolable.

“So powerful!”

Chi Xing, who had been waiting on the opposite shore, watched this scene with both envy and shock.

Right now, looking at Qin Niu, whose strength had skyrocketed overnight, his heart filled with anticipation. The first light of dawn on the path of revenge suddenly illuminated his way, giving him hope.

“Perhaps this person really can help me avenge my deep hatred!”

Chi Xing’s eyes were filled with complex emotions.

After rising above the river’s surface, Qin Niu floated one foot above it.

The cold energy within the Lotus Platform surged into his body, and his cultivation level continued to skyrocket.

Boom!

Centred on him, energy burst forth, causing even the river surface to tremble violently.

And his Medicine King Sutra cultivation broke through directly to the late stage of the Spirit Qi Realm.

The Lotus Platform gradually merged into his body, eventually transforming into a white light that returned to the Alchemy Stove.

Qin Niu, feeling his newfound cultivation power, showed a joyous expression on his face. Initially, he had only thought that this cold spring might be of some use, but he had not expected that it would directly help him form the Ice Lotus Platform and break through to the late stage of the Spirit Qi Realm.

The Ice Lotus had now transcended the Fire Lotus.

This cultivation session also provided Qin Niu with many valuable experiences.

If he encountered such special opportunities between heaven and earth again in the future, he should be able to seize them.

The cold spring at the bottom of the river was now exhausted, and the riverbed even began to collapse on a small scale, forming whirlpools on the surface.

“Timid Turtle, let’s go!”

Qin Niu bent down to pick up the Diamond Ink Turtle, lightly tapped the river surface with his feet, and flew toward the shore with effortless grace.

With just a couple of leaps, he had firmly landed on the shore.

“Not bad, I’ll give you some turtle feed when we get back!”

Qin Niu patted the little turtle and placed it back into his carrying basket.

Looking up at the blazing sun in the sky, Qin Niu simply gave a light shake, and the water on his body instantly turned into countless fine droplets that sprayed outward. His clothes dried in the blink of an eye as well.

After donning the King Pig Leather Armor and shouldering the huge basket, he once again leaped towards the river surface.

This time, however, it was much easier than the day before, his movements looking incredibly free and easy, and in just a moment, he had successfully crossed the river.

“Roar!”

The Green Ox raised its neck and let out a Dragon Chant at him.

The grass and trees were impacted and bowed down.

“You lazy ox, even if you want to show affection, that’s not the way to do it!” Qin Niu said with a chuckle as he stroked the Green Ox’s head, which had a round, well-fed belly. Moreover, the aura it emitted was clearly stronger than yesterday, giving Qin Niu a faint sense of pressure.

Upon checking its attributes again, he discovered, sure enough, it had advanced to the Ninth Level.

An Infant Demon’s inner core had helped it rise by three grades, and its horns were still flickering with traces of electricity, indicating that it had not yet fully digested the Demon Core.

Truly a fine thing!

What Qin Niu didn’t know was that this success was partly serendipitous, as oxen inherently have a certain capability to suppress evil.

Lesser cultivators often rely on ox tears to open their spiritual eyes to see ghosts and demons more clearly.
