With that, Li Zhirui took out a large number of Purification Lotus Seeds and handed them over.

"What is this?"

Fu Chenguang examined these lotus seeds with a curious look, wondering how such seemingly simple Human Immortal rank Spiritual Objects could solve a problem that even Taiyi Great Powers find troubling.

"These are Spiritual Objects I cultivated and named Purifying White Lotus, capable of purifying evil filth between heaven and earth and alleviating world pressure."

Upon hearing this, his eyes widened suddenly. If these seemingly ordinary lotus seeds truly had such power, then he believed what Li Zhirui had just said!

A kind of spiritual object that can purify evil filth, relieve the world's pressure, and eliminate Outer Realm presence during invasions, is indeed precious!

Especially for a behemoth like the Fu Family, which spans many worlds and traverses the universe, its value is even greater.

"Does Fellow Daoist have many Purification Lotus Seeds?"

Seeing Fu Chengguang's excited expression, he eagerly asked, "If possible, could you sell me some? I plan to bring them back for cultivation after my matters here are settled."

Immediately, he added, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, these lotus seeds will be for personal use only, and I absolutely won't sell them for profit."

As for the lower grade of the Bai Lian, the Fu Family has ways to compensate for this shortcoming!

Li Zhirui, of course, understood Fu Chenguang's intentions, but he didn't feel much about it.

It's not that he didn't know the value of the Purifying White Lotus, but the universe is vast, and the worlds in The Void are more numerous than stars in the sky. With his current strength and cultivation, monopolizing this business is out of the question.

Furthermore, if he encountered some malicious being stronger than himself, it might bring disaster to him.

Therefore, Li Zhirui had always been low-key, never revealing the biggest secret of the Purification Principle and the Purifying White Lotus.

Had it not been for the need to train better in the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, and the trust he placed in Fu Chengguang, combined with the fact that their powers were similar, meaning even if he attacked, he could defend himself, Li Zhirui would never have revealed this secret!

"I have them, but the price won't be low. Does Fellow Daoist still want them?"

"Yes! I'll take however many you have!"

If he missed this fantastic opportunity, how lonely it would be to let it slip by in the vast chaos, it would be too regrettable.

So no matter how much it would cost, he would take all these lotus seeds.

"Does Fellow Daoist have Profound Immortal rank spirit seeds or pill recipes? These can be used to exchange for lotus seeds." Li Zhirui stated his terms.

"I have them!" Fu Chenguang agreed without hesitation.

He initially thought he only had Profound Immortal rank spirit seeds, but he didn't expect the other party to be willing to offer pill recipes!

Then, swiftly, he took out a few Jade Slips and several spirit seeds, presenting them to Li Zhirui, saying, "Fellow Daoist, do these Jade Slips suffice?"

This time, it made his spirit seeds seem much less valuable.

"Too many."

He had no intention to take advantage of the other, so he picked just two jade slips and two spirit seeds, planning to return the rest.

"No! You're underestimating the value of these lotus seeds in your hands."

Fu Chenguang shook his head, unwilling to take the things back. The higher the realm, the more one understands the preciousness of the Purification Lotus Seeds, so he insisted Li Zhirui accept all the pill recipes and spirit seeds.

Actually, it was because of this new and different concept brought about by this action, that he witnessed the unique aspects of the Purification Principle!

These words left him speechless, as he hadn't expected to one day become the subject of 'forced buying and selling.'

"Really..."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Li Zhirui had no choice but to accept with a shake of his head.

At the same time, to compensate Fu Chenguang, he specially took out some higher-grade Pure Lotus Seeds.

After years of cultivation by Li Zhirui, aided by the Space Power, the grade of Pure Lotus Seeds had reached the Earth Immortal rank.

This level of spiritual objects was generally of limited use to their realms.

But Purifying White Lotus is different, its greatest function lies in purifying evil filth, and other effects are secondary. The grade just affects the purification efficiency.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."

Seeing how seriously he sealed those lotus seeds, Li Zhirui couldn't help but remind him, "Fellow Daoist, don't forget the upcoming plan, make use of the White Lotus Seeds."

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I understand the importance of this matter."

"That's good."

Seeing he wasn't just responding perfunctorily, Li Zhirui felt reassured.

Then he returned to his cave mansion, calming his mind and beginning his layout.

...

Marketplace.

A certain cultivator wandering around on the street accidentally dropped a Jade Slip when passing through an alley, without even realizing it!

This was the work of a wisp of Li Zhirui's Divine Sense, while the cultivator only released a blank Jade Slip.

Shortly after, the Jade Slip was picked up by another cultivator under his influence.

When this person saw the contents of the Jade Slip, his heart raced with excitement, and he even stopped breathing for a few beats.

Because the Jade Slip recorded an event, that there is a high-tier secret realm in Gloomy Swamp!

Li Zhirui judged it as a secret realm instead of a relic for a simple reason: if it were the latter, there wouldn't be a need to station cultivators for long.

After all, relics are temporary; once mined and excavated, they hold little value.

As for the cultivator who found a huge secret upon picking up the Jade Slip, due to the influence of the Divine Sense, he didn't think much and simply felt incredibly lucky.

After picking up the Jade Slip, he no longer had the heart to meander and hurried back to his cave mansion to think about how he could enter the secret realm.

"Relying solely on my own power leaves no hope of entry, so the best way is to make the news public, allowing many cultivators to go together, only then will I have a chance to enter the secret realm!"

This idea, he came up with on his own without Li Zhirui's influence.

He then pondered how to quickly spread the news of the secret realm; the best method was to propagate it as a rumor.

That night, after changing his appearance, he entered a bustling tavern.

With a few cups of Spiritual Wine down his throat, he felt tipsy as if he were drunk.

"Fellow Daoist…hic! I have a big secret, do you want to know it?"

The person, still somewhat sober, smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to tell me your secret?"

"Of course, willing, we are life-and-death friends! What's there to hide?"

He mumbled quietly, "There's a high-tier secret realm in Gloomy Swamp, and it will soon emerge!"

"What did you say?!"

The stranger jumped at the declaration, muttering, "A secret realm in Gloomy Swamp? Fellow Daoist, you are drunk, hurry back and rest."

Nearby cultivators, who heard the word "secret realm," immediately fell silent, and the lively tavern hall quickly quieted down.

Whether true or not, it costs nothing to listen.

"I'm not drunk! This secret I stumbled upon by accident!"

Pressured, the cultivator, eager to prove his point, shouted, "If you don't believe me, go to the swamp's edge underground and see if there aren't many Array Patterns."

This assertion stirred interest among many cultivators.

Maybe they should really check it out?

If it turned out to be true, wouldn't they hit the jackpot? Even if it's false, they would only waste a bit of time.
