The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1088: Karmic Fire Red Lotus

Xiao Han's eyes lit up immediately, but then she became uneasy.

This is an ancient evil cultivator who kills based on his whims; I certainly cannot fulfill his demands.

Judging from Xiao Han's expression, the man in black knew what she was worried about.

He said slowly, "My request is very simple: use half of your merits to give me a chance to be reincarnated and start anew."

Xiao Han's eyes widened immediately. Merit? What is that? Does the cultivation world even have such a thing?

No, that's not the point. The point is, do I really have this thing on me?

Why didn’t she know!

Xiao Han subconsciously looked at her body again and again, and even used magic to create a mirror to look at herself from left to right, but she didn't see the so-called golden light of merit.

Her actions amused even the ancient evil cultivator.

"Stop looking, your cultivation level is too low, you can't see it."

Xiao Han awkwardly stopped looking. She was simply too curious to see what it was like to be surrounded by the legendary golden light of merit.

No, how did I accumulate merit? What did I do to earn this?

Xiao Han thought about it again and again, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Senior, how are merits accumulated?"

Xiao Han humbly sought advice.

The phantom snorted, "How would I know what you did, or how the Heavenly Dao judges merit now?"

Whether in ancient times or now, cultivators who have accumulated merit are all kind-hearted, principled, and willing to help others. And these are the kinds of people he hates the most.

He's a heretical cultivator!

But now, if he wants to keep his chance to be reincarnated and start over, he has no choice but to make a deal with the person he used to hate the most.

Xiao Han continued, "So what are the benefits of having this merit?"

The illusory figure said impatiently, "I'm trapped in this interface, how would I know what rules govern this world?"

The low-level female cultivator in front of him was timid and obsequious, completely different from the righteous cultivators he had met before. He had no idea how she had acquired merit.

Xiao Han was also constantly weighing the deal in her mind.

Merit is definitely a good thing, there's no doubt about that. But, if I use half of my merit to exchange for the chance for this great evil cultivator to be reincarnated and start cultivating again, will I become an accomplice to evil and allow another great evil cultivator to emerge in the future?

If the other person is reincarnated and cultivates again, becoming a great evil cultivator once more, one might have to bear the karmic consequences.

However, she quickly came to terms with it.

Now, if she wants to save her life, she must make a deal with the other party.

Besides, who knows how many years it will be before the other party reincarnates and becomes a great evil cultivator again? It's such a long way off, why worry about something so far in the future?

Oh right, the other party mentioned that they would also reward me with a Chaos Treasure.

Xiao Han hurriedly asked again, "What other Chaos Treasures are you planning to give me, Senior?"

The phantom pointed to its own body lying on the stone platform, then to the blood-red lotus-shaped flame between its brows, saying, "Karmic Fire Red Lotus."

"The Red Lotus of Karmic Fire?" Xiao Han exclaimed in shock.

Of course she had heard of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, which was said to be transformed from the seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus.

It is said to be both offensive and defensive, capable of unleashing endless red lotus karmic fire, using the power of karmic fire to incinerate everything.

It is no exaggeration to call it a treasure of chaos.

When Xiao Han first saw the blood-red lotus flame between the eyebrows of the black-robed man on the stone platform, although he thought the pattern looked like a lotus, he didn't really guess it was the karmic fire red lotus.

Oh dear, she would be willing to exchange all of her merits for it, let alone half of them.

With such a supreme treasure of chaos, even a god might not be able to harm her.

Xiao Han no longer hesitated and hurriedly asked, "How can I share half of this merit with you?"

The man in black robes said, "It's very simple. You sign the Heavenly Dao Contract and agree to give me half of your merits. You don't need to worry about the rest. Then, wait here until my lifespan is exhausted, and then you can leave with the Karmic Fire Red Lotus."

Xiao Han exclaimed again, "We have to wait until your lifespan runs out? How long will that be?"

The illusory figure snorted, "A hundred years is but a fleeting moment for a cultivator."

Xiao Han thought to himself: For you old ghosts who can live for millions of years, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye.

If she stays in this godforsaken place for a hundred years, it will be no different from being in prison.

But when she thought of the Crimson Lotus of Karmic Fire, she felt that everything was worth it.

Wait, how does she know that it is the Karmic Fire Red Lotus? What if the other party is lying to her?

Xiao Han then smiled and cautiously said, "Senior, could you please release the Karmic Fire Lotus so that I can take a look?"

The man in black robes immediately retorted angrily, "Would I, a great cultivator from the ancient Chaos Realm, lie to you?"

If it weren't for the fact that his malevolent energy had been almost completely purified by the Karmic Fire Red Lotus after millions of years of refinement, Xiao Han's questioning would have thoroughly enraged him.

Although Xiao Han smiled and didn't refute, her expression clearly showed disbelief.

If the karmic fire lotus truly exists, why not release it?

Is it really possible to prove something just by having a vague pattern between the eyebrows?

The merit donation only works if Xiao Han is completely willing, so although the man in black robes was angry, he was powerless to stop it.

He gritted his teeth and finally explained why the Karmic Fire Lotus could not be released.

It turns out that this karmic fire lotus was used to suppress and purify him.

Back then, he was suppressed and purified by the Creator God using the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, and then trapped in this abandoned realm.

The reason he wasn't killed outright wasn't because he shouldn't have died, but because they wanted him to experience millions of years of loneliness and solitude, punishing him by cutting his flesh with a dull knife.

Use the karmic fire lotus to suppress him, burn and purify his soul and the malevolent energy within him.

Because of the special nature of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, he simply cannot command it to appear, and it is currently unable to appear.

Because the two have become one, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus can only reveal itself after its lifespan is exhausted and it has completed its mission.

Even now, Xiao Han has realized a serious problem: what makes her so capable of subduing such a chaotic treasure?

Then, Xiao Han asked directly, "Senior, is this Karmic Fire Red Lotus easy to subdue? If it refuses to be used by me and runs away in a flash, where am I supposed to find it?"

The man in the black robe was speechless.

He could only encourage it, saying, "The Karmic Fire Red Lotus likes people with good deeds. You can definitely make it follow you willingly."

These words did nothing to comfort Xiao Han.

She's not destined to be a leading lady; by cultivating immortality, she'll automatically acquire divine weapons, innate spiritual treasures, and ancient mythical beasts.

Thinking back over the years, her spirit beast was still a myna bird with the lowest bloodline and virtually zero combat power.

So, what makes her so special that the Chaos Treasure obediently follows her?
