Chapter 79 Snow Water Lily
To find the snow lotus, they needed to go to the snow mountain. In order to quickly accumulate so many high-grade spirit stones, Ye Lan and the others got up early every day and went out.
Places with snow are always romantic. Besides the world being covered in white like a fairy tale, you can also see the beautiful golden sunrise on the mountains on a sunny day.
Although it wasn't the first time they'd seen it today, Ye Lan and the others were still amazed by the scene of the sun shining on the snow-capped mountain. They quietly watched as the first rays of sunlight shone on the mountaintop, making it appear sacred.
Every day, they would watch the entire process before they started working.
To pick snow lotus flowers, one must climb to the top of the snow-capped mountain, where the temperature is lower than in Wuya City. However, cultivators are not afraid of this. They flew to the top of the mountain on their swords. When they came down from their swords, each of them left a deep imprint on the snow.
Today they arrived at a new place. Ye Lan saw some footprints and, following them, saw a reindeer with a pair of beautiful antlers. It was digging at a snow lotus flower.
This snow lotus is different from the snow lotus Ye Lan saw in her previous life. In her previous life, the snow lotus had been listed as a protected plant, and before it bloomed, it looked a bit like a whitish "cabbage".
But the snow lotus here is called snow water lily. It looks just like a water lily, with a slender stem, white petals on the outside and pale yellow stamens in the middle, like a piece of jade. It is very beautiful.
The blooming snow water lily can be used to make snow lotus pills, and eating it raw is also beneficial to the spiritual consciousness of cultivators, especially those with water spiritual roots.
Most people in the Northern Continent have water or wind spiritual roots. More than half of the Su family's mercenary group have water spiritual roots, which is why the Su family needs such a large quantity of this stuff.
However, when it comes to benefits to the divine sense, the snow water lily is still not as good as the lotus seeds of the thousand-petaled white lotus. Ye Lan had kept them in her space and hadn't dared to take them out for Xiao Bai to eat. It wasn't until they arrived at the Su family that Xiao Bai was able to eat the lotus seeds.
After the lotus seeds were picked, they were stored in a storage box. Each one was very plump. When Ye Lan bought them, they were still wrapped in a green outer shell. When Xiao Bai ate them, she didn't ask Ye Lan to help her peel the shell. Instead, she put the whole thing in her mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
Xiao Bai also let Ye Lan eat with it, and even allowed her to eat it with the skin on. Ye Lan wanted to remove the skin, but Xiao Bai wouldn't allow it. Xiao Bai had the inheritance of a divine beast, so listening to it was definitely the right thing to do.
The whole lotus seed was a bit bitter. Although the flesh inside was slightly sweet, the bitterness was greater when the skin and core were included. After eating it, there was a sweet aftertaste in the mouth. Seeing that Ye Lan had swallowed it, it immediately told Ye Lan to cultivate and absorb the spiritual energy of the lotus seed.
After cultivating for a while, Ye Lan felt refreshed and invigorated. He even noticed that his spatial dimension had expanded. Only then did he realize the great benefits of eating lotus seeds with the skin on, as they could improve spiritual sense and cultivation, especially spiritual sense, which he saw a significant improvement in.
Nine lotus seeds were photographed in total, and Xiaobai ate three of them. Xiaobai said that humans only benefit from eating them the first time, and eating a second one would be a complete waste.
So Ye Lan only ate one, and gave the remaining five to the other four people, urging them to eat them and watching them absorb the nutrients.
The reason they were given to them was that the five of them would still travel together for the rest of the journey. With his companion's cultivation level improving, his own safety would be more guaranteed.
These eight lotus seeds were used up just like that. Ye Lan kept the last one, hoping to find a chance to refine the Hundred-Flower Pill in the future.
Back to the beautiful snow water lily, the reindeer bit off its stem, ate it, chewed it, and swallowed it.
The reindeer didn't run away when it saw Ye Lan and the others arrive. It was regarded as a symbol of good luck in Wuya City, and no human would harm it. It had become accustomed to seeing these humans coming to pick snow lilies.
Xiao Bai knew that the snow water lilies within a kilometer radius had been devoured by the reindeer beasts, so Ye Lan and the others decided to go to the other side to look for them.
"Ten steps ahead, there is a snow water lily."
Ye Lan received guidance from Xiao Bai in her divine sense and followed it. When she arrived at the location, she saw a beautiful flower stuck in the crack of the rock. There were two snow water lilies growing in the crack of the rock, one of which had not yet bloomed.
He moved the stone by himself; now that he's at the Nascent Soul stage, moving a stone is no problem for him.
When the stone was moved, a cute snow squirrel darted out, squeaking and defending its territory, telling the humans to leave.
This snow hamster is tiny, without a tail, about the same size as a hamster, and looks both cute and fierce.
Ye Lan spoke to it as if talking to herself: "Stop barking, you can't hit my knee even if you jump."
These snow water lilies are also their food. Ye Lan only picked the one that was in full bloom, leaving the other bud for it.
Xiao Bai's cultivation level has recently increased, and his ability to find spiritual plants has also become stronger. Before, he could only know the general direction, but now he can even sense the exact location.
Within an hour, Ye Lan had gathered more than a dozen snow water lilies, which she tied into a bunch that looked quite pretty.
As he was admiring his work, he saw a smaller bunch of snow water lilies approaching him.
Oh, it's Jiangning. He picked quite a few too.
After Zhanlongren learned that Xiaobai was the child of the Holy Dragon, he took extra care of Xiaobai and Ye Lan, and took the initiative to help them find the location of the snow water lilies every day. With Zhanlongren's help, Jiang Ning was also quite fast in finding these things.
The bunch of snow water lilies in Jiang Ning's hand were all discovered by it. Jiang Ning was only responsible for picking them, and after picking them, it handed them to Ye Lan: "Here you go."
"Don't you want it?" Ye Lan asked him.
This item can be kept by the owner or exchanged for spirit stones, so it's not just a simple gift of flowers; it's a valuable asset.
"These things aren't of much use to me, you can have them all."
Upon hearing his words, Ye Lan subconsciously glanced at Nangong Yue. Nangong Yue was digging something with her head down, and the little red fox, which was only a few days old, was at her feet, plunging headfirst into the snow.
Ye Lan quickly looked back at Jiang Ning, who only had eyes for him and hadn't glanced at Nangong Yue once.
He couldn't help but wonder, Jiang Ning and Nangong Yue hadn't shown any signs of developing feelings for each other yet, but instead, Jiang Ning was getting closer and closer to him. Could it be that Lady Luck was finally on his side?
He thought this in his heart, but dared not show it on his face.
Ye Lan accepted the bouquet of snow water lilies and said to Jiang Ning, "Thank you."
He mixed the bunch of snow water lilies with the one he was holding and put it into his spatial storage. He really needed to earn spirit stones quickly recently, and since Jiang Ning was willing to give them to him, he wouldn't be coy.
Ye Lan could see Nangong Yue, and Nangong Yue could naturally see their positions as well. After Ye Lan looked away, she raised her head and looked at the two of them from the foot of the mountain.
She did like Jiang Ning. From the time they went to the secret realm, she experienced the feeling of being protected for the first time. But she wasn't oblivious; she knew Jiang Ning didn't like her, so she never confessed her feelings.
The two people above, one dressed in black and the other in white, look quite well-matched. She chuckled to herself, thinking that instead of seeking protection from others, she should focus on improving her cultivation.
The little red fox at her feet was whimpering to her. Nangong Yue came back to her senses and asked what was wrong.
The little red fox didn't know how to communicate with her yet, so it tugged at her skirt, trying to get her to come with it.
Seeing her lift her leg and follow her, the little red fox loosened its grip on her skirt and hopped ahead, its vibrant color dancing like a flame in the snow.
The mountain was sloping, and after walking for a while, she realized that it was the big red fox and Su Bo calling her from the other side. It turned out that Su Bo had found a place where several snow water lilies were growing, and they were waiting for her to come and pick them.
Even after being exposed by her, Su Bo was not discouraged and continued to treat her as well as before, and never made any demands on her, but she still dared not let down her guard.
Many people had pretended to be kind to her before, only to reveal their true intentions later, but Su Bo was so honest that Su Bo's heart began to waver.
She looked at the untouched snow lotus and asked him, "Did you wait for me to come?"
"Hmm, there are quite a few here, I can't pick them all by myself."
There was no way he couldn't pick them all; he didn't even have to lift a finger.
"Okay, let's pick them together."
Nangong Yue squatted down and carefully picked the snow water lilies. They picked the snow water lilies themselves and took them themselves. Su Bo deliberately picked them slowly, wanting her to pick more.
But Nangong Yue didn't give him that chance. After picking the snow lotus flowers, she divided them equally and stuffed a handful into Su Bo's hand.
“I know you want to take care of me, but I’m not that weak. I hope I can grow up and at least be your equal in the future, so there’s no need to deliberately fall behind me.”
After saying that, she walked ahead, with Su Bo following behind her.
"it is good."
When she heard the voice behind her, Nangong Yue's mood suddenly improved.
Su Bo, who was behind him, secretly raised his fist with a smile. Nangong Yue hadn't rejected him and was giving him a chance.
