Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1489: Chapter 1488: Nine-Heart Lotus Seed

Nine-Heart Lotus is a First Grade Medicinal Ingredient that grows in water, with its leaves floating on the surface, and the lotus seeds growing beneath them, requiring one to enter the water to collect it.

Generally, the water where the Nine-Heart Lotus grows is at least two hundred meters deep, with the lotus seeds usually located about one hundred meters underwater.

The roots of the Nine-Heart Lotus are not at the water’s bottom but rather in the middle of the water, meaning that even if the lotus exists, the water depth doesn’t necessarily remain only at two hundred meters.

Nine-Heart Lotus Seed is one of the main ingredients to refine the First Grade Pill Spirit Transformation Pill. Compared to other First Grade Medicinal Ingredients, it’s much rarer and more difficult to obtain.

Spirit Transformation Pill is named after the Spirit Transformation Realm, indicating its high efficacy.

A Lower-Class Spirit Transformation Pill can slightly increase a First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm’s Cultivation Base; Mid-Class can increase it by one-third, Superior by half, and if it’s Top-Grade...

It can directly elevate a First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm to Second Grade!

This pill is considered frightening and is one of the highest-quality pills among First Grades.

A single Lower-Class Spirit Transformation Pill is worth more than ten thousand Spirit Crystals; Mid-Class is worth more than fifty thousand; Superior is worth over a million, and the Top-Grade...

Usually only appears in auctions, with the price of a single Top-Grade Spirit Transformation Pill being at least over two million Spirit Crystals!

Those who use this pill are definitely descendants of Grand Powers because it is overly extravagant.

A First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm individual, as long as they have some talent and exert a little effort, with the cooperation of resources, can mostly break through to Second Grade with time.

However, for those from Grand Powers, they don’t want to waste such time, so they lavishly spend over two million Spirit Crystals to buy Spirit Transformation Pills for their descendants.

In reality, a regular cultivator using normal cultivation methods would not even use up fifty thousand Spirit Crystals for a breakthrough.

Imagine, who among ordinary First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm could afford two million Spirit Crystals?

It is simply impossible, and even First Grade Pill Masters rarely accumulate so many Spirit Crystals.

Similarly, though Top-Grade Spirit Transformation Pill is strong, there are not many Pill Masters capable of refining it, and with few buyers, it results in a very rare market for Top-Grade Spirit Transformation Pills.

This time, Su Han and the others shifted their target from Dragon Crocodile Bone to Nine-Heart Lotus.

...

”Nine-Heart Lotus is just one of the ingredients to refine the Spirit Transformation Pill.”

Luoo Ning walked alongside Su Han, with her small hands clasped behind her back, looking quite happy.

As they walked, she said, ”The name of the Nine-Heart Lotus originates from its nine leaves, each referred to as a heart. Each leaf takes over a thousand years to grow, meaning that for nine leaves to grow successfully, it requires at least nine thousand years.”

”After nine leaves are formed, the lotus blossoms in another thousand years, and in five thousand years, the lotus seeds condense.”

”Each Nine-Heart Lotus Seed takes five thousand years to form; the more seeds, the longer the existence of the Nine-Heart Lotus.”

Su Han listened quietly, nodding from time to time.

In fact, Su Han already knew these facts in his past life, as a Top-Grade Pill Master, he certainly wouldn’t lack this common knowledge.

Though ordinary medicinal ingredients might be forgotten, a medicinal ingredient like the Nine-Heart Lotus, Su Han naturally kept it always in mind.

However, traveling all the way is somewhat dull, so listening to Luoo Ning’s clear and pleasant voice was rather nice.

Luoo Ning loved to speak, and Su Han loved to listen, as time quietly passed in this joyful atmosphere.

The others continued to follow behind; they understood that Su Han no longer needed them to lead the adventure, rather it was Su Han leading them.

Wang Chui came up to walk alongside Su Han and Luoo Ning, occasionally recounting thrilling stories from past expeditions, creating a unique atmosphere.

Su Han didn’t dislike Wang Chui; during the outbreak of the Dragon Crocodile Beast, Wang Chui planned to assist but had to leave decisively when a crisis emerged, unable to save Su Han.

From start to finish, Wang Chui was one of the few never to mock Su Han.

Su Han always felt that the less capable someone is, the more likely they are to do annoying things.

Such as... Wuche.

At this moment Wuche was obediently following behind the group; Su Han occasionally glanced over, noticing Wuche’s eyes avoiding contact.

”We’ve been to Demon Sea Star no less than ten times, yet we’ve never seen a Nine-Heart Lotus!” Luoo Ning said.

”None of us went to the area where the Nine-Heart Lotus could be found, so naturally we haven’t seen it.”

Wang Chui smiled wryly and said, ”As a medicinal ingredient, Nine-Heart Lotus absorbs more of nature’s spiritual energy than other ingredients, so it’s found in areas where spiritual energy is more abundant. In such places, strong Spirit Beasts are present, and other powers go there too, creating high competition.”

”With this time, we might as well look for other medicinal ingredients. If it weren’t for this little girl insisting on seeing it, we would have already obtained many ingredients...”

Luoo Ning immediately said, ”Captain, you can’t say that; you know the preciousness of the Nine-Heart Lotus Seed. If we can find just one, with ten or eight Nine-Heart Lotus Seeds growing on it, I wonder if you would still say the same.”

”Keep dreaming you!” Wang Chui helplessly said, ”A Nine-Heart Lotus with ten or eight Nine-Heart Lotus Seeds must have grown for five or six thousand years, just waiting for you to pick it? Even if others haven’t found it, it would have been eaten by Spirit Beasts.”

”Let’s go take a look anyway; after all, Junior Brother Su Han is here for an expedition. Without danger, how can it be called an expedition? Su Han, don’t you think?” Luoo Ning looked at Su Han with expectation.

”According to your idea, must you get me killed for it to be called an expedition?” Su Han countered.

”Hahaha...” Wang Chui laughed aloud immediately.

Luoo Ning’s face drooped, muttering, ”Sure enough, you awful men just love conspiring together to bully us girls.”

Upon hearing this, Su Han and Wang Chui exchanged glances, both speechless.

...

Wang Chui and the others had never seen a Nine-Heart Lotus but that didn’t mean they didn’t know where it could be found.

Of course, not very specifically, but there was still some basis.

”Here’s the map.”

Wang Chui said while walking, ”Here is a lake called Green Spirit Lake, one of the few lakes on Demon Sea Star. Its size ranks at the back but for larger lakes, we’d need to venture deeper into Demon Sea Star, which is something we should avoid dreaming about given our strength.”
