The Journey to the Other World Starting from Douluo.

Chapter 25: The King of Immortal Grasses: Enlightenment Bodhi Flower

After expressing his feelings, Wu Tong could not wait to walk closer to check it out. Based on the knowledge about immortal herbs in the Complete Explanation of Immortal Herbs that Qian Renxue had found for him, he tried to find the most precious treasure in this treasure land - immortal herbs.

Before he had walked for a while, Wu Tong's eyes were attracted by a flower. It was a large light pink flower with no leaves, a three-foot-long stem, and an extremely large flower, with a diameter of more than a foot. Each petal looked as crystal clear as crystal. The light pink flower swayed gently with the mist. It grew on the shore where the red and white springs intersected. The stamens were light purple, like purple diamonds inlaid there.

Although the aroma traveled far, it was not strong. Wu Tong took a light sniff and a faint fragrance penetrated into his nostrils. After inhaling it, he felt that the pressure brought by the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire was reduced a lot.

When Wu Tong saw the flower, he recognized it instantly: "A beautiful and fragrant flower of immortal origin."

As expected, it was the Youxiang Qiluo fairy herb, the nemesis of all poisons. It cannot detoxify itself, but it can neutralize and restrain all toxins.

However, Wu Tong did not pick them. Instead, he secretly noted the location of the Youxiang Qiluo fairy product and began to look for his target and other fairy herbs.

Soon, Wu Tong found all the strange chrysanthemums, beautiful tulips, longing dew, narcissus jade bones, cockscomb sunflower, snow-colored swan kiss, eight-petal fairy orchid, ninth-grade purple ganoderma, as well as the eight-angled black ice grass and the fiery apricot growing next to the ice and fire yin-yang eye in the middle.

In addition to these immortal herbs that appeared in the original novel, there are some that were not mentioned: Black Jade Divine Bamboo Shoots, Weaving Clouds and Stars, Lycoris Radiata, Withered and Flourishing Samsara Fruit, Feathered Black Plum, Immovable Gold Stone, Yellow Spring Three Life Liquid, Eight Extreme Sword Grass...

Even the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Earth-burrowing Dragon Silkworm, and Earth Stone Heart Milk that were buried deep underground were found by Wu Tong with his careful eyes.

However, what made Wu Tong happiest was finding two kings of immortal herbs, one was the famous Acacia Heartbreak Red, and the other was Wu Tong's real goal of coming to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, an immortal herb that had never been mentioned in the Douluo story - the Enlightenment Bodhi Flower.

I don’t know if it’s because Tang San’s knowledge of magical herbs is incomplete, or if Wu Tong’s explanation of magical herbs is too comprehensive. Many magical herbs that have never been heard of in the original work have been recognized by Wu Tong.

Wu Tong had some doubts at first, but after thinking about it, he was relieved. After all, this is a real world, not to mention there is a little butterfly like himself, so there is no need to be surprised no matter what changes happen.

The book describes all the immortal herbs in great detail, including their growing environment, appearance, medicinal properties, and picking methods. Once the herbs are picked in the wrong way, they will not only lose their medicinal effects, but may also become poisonous.

However, the fairy herb Bodhi flower that Wu Tong longed for had extremely harsh conditions for picking. It could not be seen without the right people. Moreover, it would only bloom quietly at a specific time - the full moon night, at the place where the wise man sat in meditation. And only one flower would bloom at a time. After a flower bloomed, unless it was picked, it would be impossible for the next Bodhi flower to appear.

The picker must be a wise person with good intentions and a unique understanding of wisdom. Only by passing the test of the flower can he pick it. Otherwise, even if he finds it, he will not be able to pick it.

It is also said that this magical herb has an ancient story.

[It is said that thousands of years ago, there was a prosperous empire. The king had a son, and the family originally lived a happy life. However, the prince saw the sufferings of the world, and with deep sympathy for the sufferings of the world, he resolutely gave up the luxury and power of the palace and embarked on a journey to find the true meaning of life.

He spent six years visiting famous teachers, practicing hard in the mountains and forests, and fighting against nature with his flesh and blood. However, the endless suffering still could not bring relief to the prince.

Until one day, the prince realized that the true way to liberation is not to destroy the body, but to awaken the mind. So he put everything aside and came to think under an ancient Bodhi tree. The tree grew lush branches and leaves, as if it could cover all the sorrows in the world.

Time seemed to freeze, the stars rotated, the sun and the moon alternated, and the prince stood motionless under the Bodhi tree. The prince endured his inner fears, desires and doubts, and experienced one spiritual storm after another. But it was these challenges that allowed him to explore his heart more deeply, thus gradually unveiling the mystery of life.

Finally, when the first rays of morning light penetrated the clouds and shone on the Bodhi tree, the prince's heart was filled with unprecedented joy and tranquility. He completely understood the true meaning of life - dependent origination, cause and effect, reincarnation, and nirvana.

In the end, by guiding people to transcend suffering, the prince became an immortal god...】

"Isn't this the story of Sakyamuni attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree?" Wu Tong couldn't help but complain when he saw the story.

After complaining, I felt very confused. Why is the story of Buddha Sakyamuni a legend in Douluo Continent?

However, as soon as the doubts arose, they were instantly suppressed by Wu Tong. The theories about the world and information transmission in the chat group novel before the time travel could explain this situation.

Both the monkey printer theory and the theory that the higher-dimensional world affects the lower-dimensional world can explain the origin of this story.

However, compared to these theories, Wu Tong agrees more with another statement, that is, the big guys can reflect their own information on the diverse world.

Sakyamuni, the Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, a mythological figure. After experiencing the experience of traveling to the Douluo Continent, Wu Tong knew that other story worlds must also exist. Many stories that Wu Tong has read have the existence of the Three Pure Ones, the Taoist Patriarch, the Buddha, the Emperor of Heaven... This is enough to prove that these mythological giants can reflect their own legends in a diverse way, so it is not surprising to find their traces in any world.

The explanation of the enlightenment bodhi flower in the Complete Explanation of Immortal Herbs contains only one sentence:

The Enlightenment Bodhi Flower, the king of immortal herbs, not only has the function of enhancing soul power, but also helps people to become enlightened, awaken their wisdom, and enhance their wisdom and understanding.

Originally, according to the origin of the Enlightenment Bodhi Flower, it is impossible for it to be only at the level of the King of Immortal Grasses, but because of the unique rules of Douluo Continent, the best medicinal herbs that can appear in this world are of the quality of the King of Immortal Grasses. This is what is called the times make heroes.

When Wu Tong first saw the effect of the Enlightenment Bodhicitta, he had only one thought in his mind, and that was to obtain this Enlightenment Bodhi Flower.

As the owner of the brain martial soul, Wu Tong undoubtedly has the most profound understanding of the power of wisdom. This magical herb that enhances wisdom is extremely suitable for Wu Tong. It can not only help Wu Tong improve his wisdom and open up his wisdom, but it may also allow Wu Tong's brain martial soul to awaken a second time, and it is a second awakening in wisdom.

After thinking about this, Wu Tong instantly thought of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. This treasure trove of immortal herbs was the most likely place where the Bodhi Flower of Enlightenment would appear.

This is why Wu Tong wanted to help Dugu Bo detoxify. Not only for Dugu Bo's friendship, but also because he wanted to find the Bodhi flower for enlightenment.

As expected by Wu Tong, after arriving at the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, Wu Tong went straight to the place that was most suitable for the growth of the Bodhi Flower of Enlightenment. As a result, he soon discovered this king of immortal herbs. After discovering that there was indeed the Bodhi Flower of Enlightenment in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, Wu Tong finally put his mind at ease.
