Did jesus apply his blood to the mercy seat in heaven?

Comparing the four gospel accounts of the resurrection, it appears that Mary Magdalene was the first person to see the risen Christ. In John 20:17, Jesus says to her, "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father." Later that morning, several other women meet Jesus, and Matthew 28:9 says that they clasp Him by the feet. Why could Mary not touch Him while the other women could? One explanation is that Jesus had not yet ascended to apply His blood to the mercy seat in heaven when Mary saw Him. The book of Leviticus gave instructions regarding how the blood of animals sacrificed on the brazen altar was to be taken into the holy place and sprinkled on the mercy seat to atone for the sins of the people. The priest had to undergo a purification process to appear before God, and Leviticus 16:17 seems to imply that no one could touch him (thus ceremonially defiling him) until he had finished the task. Jesus, the ultimate high priest, is fulfilling in the true tabernacle in heaven what the priests of Israel could only picture symbolically. On Calvary, He offered Himself as the true sacrificial Lamb, and upon His resurrection He is preparing to ascend to the throne of the Father and apply His blood to the true mercy seat in heaven. Therefore Mary was prevented from touching Him before His task was complete. Later that morning, having applied the blood, He permits the others to touch Him. Hebrews 9:12 seems to confirm this idea. Speaking of Jesus, it says, "neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us."
