Little Lotus was sobbing and sniffling as it protested: "T..Those books aren't useless…"
[Hmph]
Little black cat lifted his paw and swiftly swept the top book off the table as it landed with a loud thud.
"Nooooooooooooooo." Little Lotus face became pale as it scuttled forward and lunged forward to 'save' the book as he brought it into his embrace protectively.
Little black cat narrowed its eyes at it looked at the little audacious lotus looking at him with pleading eyes.
Swish. Little black cat ignored little lotus as it swiped another book off the table.
This went on as little black cat continued swiping the books off the table as Little Lotus scuttled about with its tear stricken face and is short legs scurrying around in his bitter attempt to save the books.
"Enough." Jun Wu Xie finally spoke up, interrupting the little drama of those two.
Little Lotus fell to the floor in exhaustion with its two hands tightly clutching onto the few books that he managed to save, with its teary eyes looking at Jun Wu Xie.
"Why do you hold these books so dear? What do you want them for?" Jun Wu Xie glanced over at the sobbing figure on the ground with her hands resting on her chin.
"It's not for me, It's for you, Mistress." Little Lotus sniffled.
Jun Wu Xie raised her eyebrows slightly.
When she browsed through the books yesterday, they were technically books on gardening, teaching people how to raise plants and flowers. Unless… this little guy wanted her to be a ...gardener?
"This is…this is… what you all call it cultivation technique." Little Lotus brought the books over to her with his little hands.
"Cultivation techniques?" Jun Wu Xie was surprised.
Little Lotus nodded.
"Yes, I'm a plant type so you can't use the ordinary cultivation techniques that you've been flipping through. Do not underestimate all these books, they are very hard to come by! The previous owner never found these good stuff so they could not cultivate any spiritual power. I must say your luck is really good…" Little Lotus tried his best to explain it to Jun Wu Xie, except that his shy and reserved demeanor did not seem to be very convincing.
Jun Wu Xie looked at the books in hand if little lotus had not explained it to her, she really can't imagine these dilapidated gardening books actually turned out to be prized cultivation techniques!
"Growing plants can enhance spiritual energy?" Jun Wu Xie casually flipped through the topmost book.
Little Lotus nodded enthusiastically.
"What should I plant?" She did not recognise any of the species of plants in the book.
Little Lotus immediately raised his hand and pointed to his nose.
"Me! Plant me!"
"..........." Jun Wu Xie was speechless. She also could not help but imagine a herself planting the lotus seeds in the earth and when it was harvest time… there were many many little lotuses. Only their heads were poking out of the earth while their body were still buried beneath. This was really quite a scene!
".........." She shuddered for a moment.
"Well, as it states here, as long as you place me in a place with water, well, not me but my seeds and they will start to absorb, develop and grow and accumulate spiritual energy after which only you can absorb. When they grow into lotuses, although the effects isn't as great like me, eating them will have lots of benefits!" Little Lotus chirped merrily as he blinked his eyes which still had some tears attached to them.
Jun Wu Xie felt that if he had a tail, he would be wagging it happily.
It seems to be easier than the other types of techniques I've come across?" She had perused so many variety of books and they were all rather complicated, some even nitpicked about the way you breathed! These books, on the other hand, were simple, straight to the point.
All you needed to do was to plant flowers!
Jun Wu Xie carefully read through the contents of the book she had on hand, in addition to lotuses, there were many other types of plants that could accumulate spiritual energy as well, however those strange plant names, she had never heard of before.
"In addition to lotus seed, where do I get the other type of seeds?" Jun Wu Xie asked.
Little Lotus frowned and hesitated for a moment before replying: "I'm not too sure as well… Most of the names I'm not sure where they're from but for some of the other guys, I do know of them and where they're from… It's just that.. It's currently out of reach for you."
"What do you mean?" Jun Wu Xie pressed on as she raised her eyebrows.
Little Lotus dropped his head and his two little chubby hands grabbed his apron and whined: "Those few guys can't come out yet… So it's out of reach for you."
Jun Wu Xie furrowed her eyebrows. What this Little Lotus was trying to say, was really difficult to understand. He always says things that were hard to comprehend.
When he first appeared, he once said that his lotus seeds were eaten by some guy. And now from this little mouth if his he once again referred to some guys. Jun Wu Xie was referring curious to who those guys were.
"Who are they?"
"Contractual spirits..." Little Lotus muttered.
"So they have to wait for an owner first before they are able to come out?" She asked.
Little Lotus nodded.. Then shook his head..frowned hard as he was trying to explain himself.
Jun Wu Xie was even more puzzled.
"Erm…Uh..that.. Actually if Mistress practices hard and cultivates properly…you're sure to be able to find the others… However as you are now…. Isn't it better to grow my seeds first?" Little Lotus hesitated for a bit before looking nervously on at Jun Wu Xie and took two quick steps and stood in front of and raised his little head with a pitiful expression.
"Mistress, you do not need to be in a hurry to find the other plants, ok? I'm sure I'll be of help to you, can you please start planting me first?" Little Lotus pleaded with his misty eyes.
"........" Jun Wu Xie had a feeling that if she shook her head, he would start bawling.
"Alright." She affirmed.
Little Lotus immediately laughed and the whole room was filled with a sweet lotus scent.
Jun Wu Xie started looking through the pile of musty old books, searching for one that had a water cultivation method.
Previously she had thought that these were some regular gardening books however after Little Lotus's explanation, she noticed that the 'water' stated in the books were not regular water. The term "rootless water" came out a few times and this "rootless water" was the lowest grade and this was water that 'flowed out of heaven but have yet descended on earth', not the waters in the lakes and rivers.
The book described various water plants, one of which was the snow lotus cultivation method.
After reading that portion, Jun Wu Xie's face went black.
To plant the snow lotus, one needed "water". To call it water was no longer feasible as the records explicitly stated it needed the water from the heavenly spring.
Heavenly spring? Jun Wu Xie searched through her memories of both worlds but to no avail. She has never heard of this or heard anyone else mention this heavenly spring before.
Jun Wu Xie had always thought that there was always a balance in the world, her cultivation techniques were way simpler than others BUT the conditions were pretty tough. Who can tell her where can she find this heavenly spring?
Do you know what is this heavenly spring water?" She asked Little Lotus while frowning.
Little Lotus shook his head left and right vigorously.
