A sliver of the spiritual energy barrier separating the inside from the outside was released, and a drop of spiritual rain, not yet drawn away by Qi Sha, landed in the palm of a Dao Path cultivator.
The next moment, the cultivator's face contorted.
Disbelief, suspicion, astonishment, ecstasy, longing.
If Linglong hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that human faces could simultaneously display such complex emotions.
Without a word, the cultivator, who had just performed a masterful display of facial contortion, quickly removed his spiritual energy defenses, allowing the wind and rain to lash his body.
He even felt the force was insufficient and actively drew a wisp of the rain towards himself!
Qi Sha glanced at the cultivator, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said no more.
Seeing this, some cultivators assumed there was something wrong with the rain, driving the cultivator and Qi Sha mad. Others, however, thought of something else.
"Could this young cultivator and Qi Sha have been ambushed? Is this rain poisonous?!"
"Hmph, I knew it. That spiritual energy waterfall outside was just bait. This demon realm is trying to harm our human cultivators!"
"Arrogant demons! Don't they know who is leading this expedition? They are seeking their own destruction!"
"It's a pity for Fairy Qi Sha, to have been ambushed by the demons..."
"Enough, stop guessing! You idiots! If you weren't my sect brothers, I wouldn't care if you lived or died! Hurry and absorb this spiritual rain! It's a great fortune!!"
"Senior Brother! You! How could you drop your defenses!! No! Don't push me! I absolutely will not lower my barrier! This rain is definitely problematic!!"
"Ah!! You actually broke my spiritual shield!!...?! Ah, this! It smells so good!"
Everyone was not foolish; paranoia was, after all, a minority condition. As more and more cultivators lowered their spiritual energy barriers, the Ascended Immortals also began to feel impatient.
And once the first drop of spiritual rain merged into their bodies,
When the surge of spiritual energy, the refinement of immortal essence, and even the improvement of their aptitudes were subtly felt, no cultivator could refuse this temptation!
"Senior Brother! Let me absorb a bit more! I feel like if I get a little more spiritual rain, I'll break through!"
"Junior Brother, Senior Brother has no more room here! We can't compete with the great Ascended Immortals!"
Under the despairing gazes of the Dao Path cultivators, Ascended Immortals after Ascended Immortals took to the skies, directly seizing the spiritual rain above the small island.
Some even tried to fly beyond the small island, but under Linglong's smiling gaze, those cultivators who had transformed into rainbows were, after a flash of light, sent back to their original positions in a daze.
The Dharma Bodies watched the falling rain from the sky and the Ascended Immortals who were teleported back with solemn expressions.
Mei Yingxue extended her fair, snow-like slender hand, gently catching a drop of spiritual rain shimmering with mystical colors. After carefully sensing the changes within it, her beautiful eyes were filled with complex emotions:
"This is not spiritual rain, this is spiritual immortal rain! A grand gesture! This Vast Sea Dragon Princess, I am inferior to her!"
Immortal essence could already help Dao Path cultivators increase their aptitudes, but without being a direct disciple of a sect, no one would do so.
After all, this method could at most help cultivators with aptitudes reach the ninth grade, and the cost would be enough to make a Dharma Body heartache.
And in this vast spiritual immortal rain, there seemed to be a trace of peculiar immortal essence mixed in.
This energy had the effect of supplementing immortal essence, yet it did not possess the overbearing and difficult-to-integrate nature of immortal essence. Therefore, even mortals could absorb this spiritual immortal rain without any harm.
It was known that spiritual energy infusion was the first tribulation for Dao Path cultivators, yet this spiritual immortal rain could even nourish an ordinary person who had not cultivated, without any harm. This showed the preciousness of this spiritual immortal rain.
What astonished Mei Yingxue even more was that her Dharma Body, which had not progressed for many years, felt a slight craving after integrating this spiritual immortal rain.
This substance had an extremely strong effect even on Dharma Body cultivators!
Sensing its mystique, the Dharma Bodies were deeply tempted.
But the older one becomes in the martial world, the more timid one's courage becomes. Looking at the formation that easily toyed with the rainbow-transformed cultivators, the Dharma Bodies dared not make too many moves.
The methods of this Vast Sea Dragon Princess seemed to be far more profound than anticipated!
Just as the Dharma Bodies were hesitating, Elder Li in the crowd could not hold back and directly began to scramble with the younger generation for the spiritual immortal rain falling above this island!
Large quantities of spiritual immortal rain were drawn into Elder Li's body. His body and Dharma Body, which had grown increasingly weak due to the great tribulation, seemed to be radiating new vitality.
Li Hexuan's eyes were filled with greedy fervor: "Mine, all mine! This is my opportunity to achieve the Dao!"
"Such a treasure! This Vast Sea Sect dares to release it! Haha! It is destined for me to obtain this treasure!!!"
In a short while, the spiritual rain falling above this small island was completely monopolized by Elder Li.
Qi Sha snorted coldly and did not compete.
After all, she had made the first move and had already obtained the lion's share.
This old fellow was clearly treacherous. Once I reach the Dharma Body stage, I'll definitely give him a couple of halberd strikes!
Seeing this, Linglong quietly altered the settings of the grand formation here.
Within a few breaths, the spiritual rain above the island completely ceased.
"Where's the rain?! Where's my rain?!" Elder Li, who was enjoying the absorption, roared in distress as the spiritual immortal rain in the sky vanished.
It was not that he was to blame for his outburst. After all, his Dharma Body, which had finally regained vitality, became even more permeated with the aura of death after the supply of spiritual rain was cut off.
Among the crowd, Miao Yu, dressed in light gauze, chuckled inwardly and secretly transmitted a message to Linglong:
"Sister, thank you for this great fortune. I never imagined your Vast Sea Sect possessed such a divine object."
Before entering, Linglong had already transmitted a message to Miao Yu and, without anyone noticing, had secretly teleported Miao Yu to a small island alone, allowing her to absorb to her heart's content.
Now, Miao Yu, who had been quietly sent back, looked at the distraught Dao Xuan Dharma Body in the sky and giggled like a little fox secretly eating chicken.
And under the nourishment of a large amount of spiritual immortal rain, the Yu Xian true disciple, who was already plump and fair, looked as if she had just been watered, so beautiful that one dared not look directly at her.
Linglong heard this and winked at her good sister:
"This spiritual immortal rain is also related to you, Sister. It cannot be considered a fortune."
"When the grand ceremony concludes, an even greater fortune awaits you, Sister Yu. Please wait a little longer."
Miao Yu was stunned. How could such a miraculous spiritual immortal rain be related to her?
But before Miao Yu could ask further, Linglong subtly shook her head, refusing to reveal any more.
Meanwhile, Li Hexuan, who had just roared in distress in the sky, managed to suppress the frenzy in his heart and asked Linglong with a somber expression:
"Vast Sea True Disciple! May I know if the spiritual immortal rain can continue to be supplied? We have never seen such a treasure before, and it has stopped abruptly before we could savor it. This is truly excessive!"
"Moreover, we were invited from afar. I believe the Dragon Princess would not be stingy with such a minor resource!"
