The reason that Meng Shenji didn't allow it was because the White Lotus was the main foundation of the Academy.
As the main foundation, should Meng Shenji give it to someone else?
Of course not.
Even though Meng Shenji wanted to curry favor with Lin Fan, he still thought rationally. How could he possibly destroy the main foundation just for personal gain?
Moreover, the cultivation of each White Lotus was extremely slow, even 2× slower than that of other Spirit Beasts!
Although there are other ways to speed up White Lotus' cultivation, this method requires a lot of resources!
Meng Shenji didn't know why Lin Fan needed the White Lotus, but he definitely wouldn't give it away for free.
Lin Fan himself did not expect that Meng Shenji would reject him, even rejecting him without a second thought.
`Does that mean a White Lotus is very valuable?` thought Lin Fan.
"Child, why do you want a White Lotus?" asked the curious Meng Shenji.
"Uh.. I don't know, but my teacher needs a White Lotus for some purpose" replied Lin Fan.
Lin Fan himself didn't want to explain that White Lotus was his main choice as his first Spirit Ring, moreover he wanted to keep all his abilities a secret. And with that, Lin Fan was forced to lie to Meng Shenji.
Meng Shenji was quite surprised by what Lin Fan said, because the one who needed a White Lotus was his teacher!
Meng Shenji then thought and tried to consider it, but he still couldn't give him a White Lotus that was in the Academy.
`It's like I have to choose between two difficult choices` thought Meng Shenji.
Then, Meng Shenji came up with an idea. However he had to ask Lin Fan first.
"Child, did your teacher tell you the required cultivation age for a White Lotus?" asked Mneg Shenji.
"Huh? No, he just said a White Lotus, there's no limit to how much age it takes" Lin Fan answered spontaneously.
Since Lin Fan himself could increase the cultivation age of Spirit Rings with Heaven's Path Spirit Essence, even a low age would not matter to him.
Hearing Lin Fan's answer, Meng Shenji finally got the right answer, where he could curry favor with Lin Fan and his teacher!
Then, Meng Shenji used his Spirit Essence to take out two small items from his bracelet. Of course, the bracelet that Meng Shenji had was a Spirit Tool, which could store anything within a certain volume range.
The two small objects have different sizes and shapes, both of which have almost the same aura.
The smallest object is like a white seed, while the largest is like a transparent marble.
Before Lin Fan used the Library of Heavens Path, Meng Shenji immediately explained about the two items.
"Child, I cannot give you a White Lotus in this Academy. However, I can give you this White Lotus Seed and White Lotus Fruit," said Meng Shenji.

Hearing Meng Shenji's words, Lin Fan immediately used the Library of Heavens Path.
––––––––––
«White Lotus Seed»
The seed of the White Lotus, contains Wood and Life Attributes
––––––––––
––––––––––
«White Lotus Fruit»
A fruit produced by a White Lotus that has reached the age of 10,000 years. Contains a lot of Life Essence, which can increase a Spirit Beast's cultivation to 1,000 years.
––––––––––
It turned out that the two were really White Lotus Seed and White Lotus Fruit!
Lin Fan also saw from the explanation of the Library of Heavens Path, that the seeds of the White Lotus could be used as Spirit Rings. Of course, the Spirit Rings that were given out were only tens of years old Spirit Rings. However, with Heavens Path Spirit Essence, would that be a problem?
Lin Fan could increase the cultivation age of the White Lotus with his Spirit Essence, which could possibly reach the limit where his Spiritual Power could contain it!
This made Lin Fan realize that he didn't need to look for Spirit Beasts with such a high age. And he could focus on searching for high quality or unique Spirit Beasts, even if their cultivation age was extremely low!
Of course, if there was a Spirit Beast with a high cultivation age and unique abilities, Lin Fan would not hesitate to make it into a Spirit Ring.
Apart from the White Lotus Seed, the White Lotus Fruit was also very tempting to Lin Fan. Because this fruit could be a medicine for his mother who lacked a lot of Life Essence!
However, after reading the description from the Library of Heavens Path, Lin Fan abandoned his intention to use it on his mother. Since the amount of Life Essence in the White Lotus Fruit is so large, it might make his mother explode from consuming too much Life Essence.
Keep in mind, the White Lotus Fruit only comes from the White Lotus which has a cultivation age of up to 10,000 years. And although this fruit was not an Immortal Herb, its effect was also enormous for a Spirit Master below Rank 40.
Whereas Lin Fan's mother was just an ordinary person with no cultivation, her body definitely wouldn't be strong enough to contain this huge Life Essence.
However, that didn't mean Lin Fan would reject it, as the White Lotus Fruit could help speed up a cultivation technique he was currently practicing. That is, Heavens Path Body Art!
One of the requirements to practice using Heavens Path Body Art is a lot of Nutrients, where these Nutrients can be replaced with Life Essence. In fact, Life Essence itself was more potent than Nutrition!
With the White Lotus Fruit, wouldn't Lin Fan be able to speed up the cultivation of the Heavens Path Body Art?
With a happy feeling, Lin Fan immediately accepted the two items given by Meng Shenji.
"Thank you, Headmaster! All of this really helped me! I will tell my teacher that you have helped me a lot!" said the excited Lin Fan.
"Hooh, that's good, that's good. I also thank you for fixing my problems while cultivating" said Meng Shenji who was also happy.
This way, Lin Fan could strengthen his foundation to the next level. And after that, he could absorb a White Lotus Seed into a Spirit Ring, which could then speed up his cultivation. Because, only by having a high cultivation can cure his mother!
`Wait for me mother, I will heal you as soon as possible!` thought Lin Fan.
