Long Chen sent the Sacred Light Stamen into the chaotic space, intending to find a suitable spot for it in the central medicinal field.
But the Qiankun Cauldron said, "It can't be planted here. The Thousand Leaf Holy Light Snow Lotus is a cold-type seed, surrounded by flames, which is unfavorable for its growth. Plant it in the edges." Long
Chen thought about it and agreed. The current chaotic space was vast and boundless, with the core area consisting of the towering ancient Fusang tree and the Lunar Tree.
The surrounding area was mostly unused open space. Long Chen carefully planted the Holy Light Stamen in the soil at the very edge of the chaotic space.
When the Sacred Light Stamen was planted in the soil, roots as fine as cow hair immediately grew at its base. When these roots appeared, frost immediately condensed on the earth.
Soon, the frost covered tens of thousands of miles around and continued to spread. At the same time, a flower stamen, like a seed, began to sprout leaves.
The snow lotus is not a lotus flower; its leaves are hexagonal, and veins gradually form on the tender leaves, within which a powerful sacred aura is within.
When the first leaf formed, a shocking scene unfolded that shocked Long Chen: the Sacred Light Stamen withered rapidly. At that moment, Long Chen panicked—could it not survive being planted here?
"Don't worry, this is the characteristic of the Thousand Leaf Holy Light Snow Lotus." The Qiankun Cauldron seemed to have long known this scene would occur.
The Sacred Light Stamen withered, and the hexagonal leaf, only the size of a fingertip, slowly fell. After it touched the ground, the withered roots in the soil were awakened again, actively connecting to the hexagonal leaf.
The hexagonal leaves were nourished by the roots and began to brighten. Then, the two top tips of the leaves sprouted small branches, which quickly became two other hexagonal leaves.
Thus, two gave birth to two, two to four, four to eight, eight to sixteen .... What puzzled Long Chen was that the Thousand Leaf Holy Light Snow Lotus had no stems, but was entirely covered in leaves.
Its hexagonal leaves are crystal clear, radiating divine light like glass, their pure and sacred brilliance reflecting on the face. Their beauty can make one forget all worries.
"Those corpses, throw them all into the black soil. Don't keep them here." Just as Long Chen was staring at the Thousand Leaf Sacred Light Snow Lotus with deep focus, the Qiankun Cauldron spoke.
Only then did Long Chen come back to his senses. Previously, he had stored many corpses of immortal experts, because many of them contained inner cores and crystal cores. These were treasures to Xia Chen and Guo Ran, and if they were disassembled directly, it would be a waste.
Long Chen quickly dealt with the corpses briefly. After removing the crystal cores and inner cores, he directly threw the bodies into the black soil. As the bodies were continuously thrown into the black earth and devoured by the black soil, they released vast vitality.
Nourished by the Thousand Leaf Holy Light Snow Lotus, it began to grow rapidly, but after producing 128 leaves at once, its growth rate noticeably slowed down.
The growth of the Thousand Leaf Holy Light Snow Lotus did not go straight upward; its leaves spread in all directions. At this moment, it looked just like a sacred Ice Spirit vase.
"Put in more effort! The Thousand Leaf Holy Light Snow Lotus will only produce Sacred Light Stamens after it produces 1,024 leaves at the same time. Only with Sacred Light Stamens can the Sacred Light Blood Lotus Pill be refined." Qiankun Cauldron said.
Long Chen gritted his teeth and stopped peeling the inner cores and crystal cores of those immortal experts. Instead, he pushed all the corpses of all the immortal experts into the black soil at once.
"Senior, please see if it's enough. If not, I'll go outside to find fertilizer right now." Long Chen steeled himself. If that wasn't enough, he planned to go hunting in the various worlds.
"It should be enough." Qiankun Cauldron said.
Soon, the Thousand Leaf Holy Light Snow Lotus sprouted 512 leaves, followed by a swift next batch of leaves. By the time this batch of leaves sprouted, the Thousand Leaf Sacred Light Snow Lotus was already more than a person's height.
Its form kept changing, like a beautiful young girl dancing with her posture. Holy light swirled, snowflakes swirled, and wherever it stood, a world of ice and snow formed within a million miles.
However, this icy and snowy world does not make people feel cold; its sacred radiance cleanses the soul.
Finally, after 1,024 leaves had appeared, the Thousand Leaf Holy Light Snow Lotus finally took on the form it should have.
A snow-white flower emerged. When the nine-petals unfolded, three tender stamens appeared in the center. As soon as these stamens appeared, three pillars of holy light shot straight up to the sky.
By this time, all the corpses Long Chen had accumulated had been completely disintegrated, and the massive Fusang Ancient Tree and the Taiyin Wood had grown much taller.
However, what surprised Long Chen was that the flames burning fiercely on the Fusang and Taiyin ancient trees had actually weakened somewhat, and their power had begun to restrain.
Each leaf was adorned with powerful flame runes. If one leaf were taken out and detonated, it would be enough to kill an ordinary Realm King expert.
The Fusang Ancient Tree and the Taiyin Tree are growing stronger and stronger, but judging by their current state, they haven't fully matured yet, and are still far from the legendary Taiyin Wood and Fusang Ancient Wood.
Long Chen didn't pay much attention to them, but instead turned his gaze to the Thousand Leaf Holy Light Snow Lotus before him, carefully picking three Sacred Light Stamens.
"Whoosh"
When the three Sacred Light Stamens were picked, the entire Thousand Leaf Sacred Light Snow Lotus shattered in an instant, turning into endless ice fragments. Long Chen was shocked.
"It's okay. Here, even if it loses all the Sacred Light Stamens at once, it won't die.
However, rebirth requires some time, so don't worry about it for now. You come out, and we'll refine the Holy Light Snow Lotus Pill together. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
When Long Chen exited the chaotic space, three Sacred Light Stamens appeared in his hand.
"Buzz"—
the Qiankun Cauldron appeared before Long Chen. Without Long Chen needing to respond, Huo Ling'er had already appeared and began warming the cauldron's stove.
Qiankun Cauldron said, "My soul power is insufficient, and replenishing it is difficult. I need to rely on your soul power to refine pills." "
No problem, I have plenty of soul power." Long Chen said, absolutely confident in his soul power.
"But this time is different. We're refining a sacred pill. Do you understand what a sacred pill means?" The Qiankun Cauldron asked.
"Could it be ...?" Long Chen was startled.
"That's right, it's the pill used by a Saint. Although your soul power is strong, it's still not enough to refine the Sacred Pill.
So, during the pill refining process, you need to use the Soul-Nourishing Pill to replenish your soul power, while I'll control the pace and buy you time to recover your soul power.
However, time is very tight and the pace is fast. You don't have much time. If you drag it out too long, the pill's spiritual power will rapidly decline, and the pills you refine will be too low-grade, wasting a treasure. "Qiankun Cauldron said solemnly.
Long Chen's heart tightened. He actually had to refine pills specifically for Saints. The difficulty was probably heaven-shattering. Not daring to be careless, Long Chen quickly focused his mind and adjusted himself to his best state.
"It's starting."
After the Qiankun Cauldron finished speaking, golden flames rose as Long Chen flew into the three sacred radiance stamens in Long Chen's hand.
