Chapter 146 Innate Green Lotus

"What's the situation?"

Chu Han's heart stirred; this surge of life primordial energy was pure and majestic, far surpassing ordinary Heaven And Earth Treasures.

He immediately composed himself, and his Mental Energy surged toward the bottom of the lake like a tide, wanting to investigate.

But just as his Mental Energy reached a depth of a thousand meters underwater, an invisible barrier suddenly emerged, blocking his probe.

The Mental Energy could not penetrate it even a fraction; he could only vaguely sense a cyan-green halo slowly pulsing behind the barrier, and that surge of life primordial energy was precisely what was radiating from there.

"Interesting, it can actually isolate Mental Energy probes." A flash of curiosity crossed Chu Han's eyes. As a 7th Rank Peak exotic beast, the bottom of the lake where the Golden Scaled Green Eyed Python resided must hide something extraordinary.

This cyan-green source of life was likely even more precious than the giant python itself.

He no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, and dove straight into the lake, continuously diving toward the depths.

As the depth increased, the water pressure grew greater. At a thousand meters down, Chu Han also felt the pressure pressing in on his body.

He continued to descend, and only when he reached 2,300 meters underwater did he see the source of that cyan-green light.

Chu Han was delighted and quickened his swimming speed.

This was a naturally formed underwater karst cave. In the center of the cave was a crystal-clear spring, and above the spring, a green lotus was quietly suspended.

This green lotus had only seven petals, each like the finest emerald, translucent and sparkling, emitting a faint cyan-green halo. The life force was continuously radiating from the petals.

And in the center of the green lotus, three round and full green lotus seeds had formed, containing life energy several times more concentrated than the petals.

Just by getting close, Chu Han felt the circulation of primordial energy within his body become even smoother.

Every cell in his body cheered and jumped for joy, greedily absorbing the breath of life emitted by the green lotus.

"This is... an innate green lotus?!" Chu Han was shocked to the core.

He had seen records in books about Heaven And Earth Treasures; the innate green lotus was an Earthly Spiritual Root, containing the purest life energy.

Its lotus seeds were even more priceless treasures. Not only could they bring the dead back to life and grow flesh on bones, but they could also significantly increase a Martial Artist's cultivation and Mental Energy, and even had a chance to improve one's Physique and awaken special talents.

He hadn't expected to encounter such a supreme treasure in this underwater cave!

The Golden Scaled Green Eyed Python had probably chosen to reside here because of this innate green lotus, using its life energy to Cultivate. Otherwise, with its strength, it could have occupied a much larger territory.

Fortunately, the Golden Scaled Green Eyed Python had not yet reached an 8th Rank Breakthrough; otherwise, Chu Han really wouldn't have had the chance to obtain this precious medicine.

The Golden Scaled Green Eyed Python had always stayed at the bottom of the lake partly to hide this green lotus treasure medicine.

Once it died, the aura of the green lotus was discovered by Chu Han.

However, those three lotus seeds looked like they weren't fully mature yet and couldn't be forcibly harvested.

"I must make it mature quickly, otherwise the aura of the green lotus will definitely spread outside."

Naturally, the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better.

If there were many people, variables would inevitably arise.

Chu Han slowly approached the green lotus and then took out a large number of lower-grade energy stones from his space ring and placed them next to the green lotus.

Sure enough, the green primordial energy emitted by this green lotus wrapped around these energy stones and quickly absorbed the energy within them completely.

The moment it finished absorbing, the aura on the three lotus seeds of this green lotus clearly matured a lot.

"It's truly a bottomless pit; 500 lower-grade energy stones were swallowed in an instant."

Although Chu Han felt some pain for his resources, he had to continue taking out energy stones to nurture this green lotus.

This time, he took out 5,000 lower-grade energy stones at once, which was almost half of the energy stones he had on him.

If he hadn't used credits to exchange for 10,000 lower-grade energy stones back at school, there definitely wouldn't have been enough here.

As more energy stones were invested, the light released by the green lotus grew brighter and brighter.

The vibrant breath of life around him made Chu Han feel incredibly comfortable all over, and his entire life Realm seemed to have improved somewhat.

This was just from absorbing the aura released by the green lotus; Chu Han couldn't imagine how much benefit he would gain from consuming a lotus seed.

As time passed, Chu Han invested another 5,000 lower-grade energy stones.

Finally, the three lotus seeds began to tremble slightly, seemingly about to mature.

Chu Han waited patiently. He knew that the seeds of the innate green lotus needed to be harvested at a specific time; otherwise, most of the medicinal efficacy would be lost.

About half an hour later, the petals of the green lotus suddenly began to contract slowly, and the light of the three lotus seeds reached its peak, emitting a dense fragrance that filled the entire cave.

Chu Han knew the time to harvest had arrived!

Holding his breath, he reached out and carefully plucked the three lotus seeds.

The lotus seeds felt as warm as jade in his hand, gently pulsing in his palm as if they were alive. The dense life energy surged into his body through his palm, making him feel comfortable all over.

After plucking the lotus seeds, the life aura on the green lotus instantly dropped countless times over.

Even the life primordial energy on the petals was dissipating rapidly.

Seeing this, Chu Han immediately swung his blade to dig out all the soil at the root of the green lotus and put it all into his space ring together.

An innate green lotus takes several hundred years to gestate from birth to fruiting, and all its essence is injected into the lotus seeds.

Even if it were left there, it would gradually lose its spirituality and would not bear fruit again.

Therefore, Chu Han plucked the green lotus before it withered. A large amount of life force was still preserved in its roots, stems, and petals, and its value was also considerable.

Afterward, Chu Han carefully put the three lotus seeds into his space ring and turned to swim toward the surface of the lake.

This trip to Black Wind Cliff had not only killed the 7th Rank Peak Golden Scaled Green Eyed Python and harvested a large amount of rare Materials, but also unexpectedly yielded the supreme treasure of innate lotus seeds; it could be described as returning with a full load.

Leaving the bottom of the lake, Chu Han burst out of the water and landed on Black Wind Cliff.

He took a deep breath, feeling the surging life force and primordial energy within him, a flash of anticipation in his eyes.

The medicinal efficacy of the innate lotus seeds was astounding. Once he found a safe place to refine them, his strength would surely reach a new level.

Not ten minutes after Chu Han left Black Wind Cliff, a black figure appeared on the rocky beach like a ghost.

The newcomer wore a large black robe, with a hood covering most of his face, revealing only the sagging skin at the jaw and a wrinkle deep enough to show bone. His entire body was surrounded by a gloomy aura.

"Strange, that majestic life force was clearly right around here just now; it was clearly the aura of the innate green lotus about to mature. How could it suddenly disappear?"

The person lifted his hood, revealing an old, sallow face with sunken eyes. His cloudy eyes scanned the surroundings, filled with doubt and urgency.

The innate green lotus was of vital importance to him; it was his only hope to break through his Bottleneck and delay the collapse of his body.

As his gaze swept over the charred traces and dried blood remaining on the rocky beach, the old man's eyes suddenly narrowed. Clearly, a tragic battle had just occurred here.

"Someone got here before me!" The old man reacted instantly.

"How dare they ruin my plans!"

He no longer hesitated and dove into the lake with a flicker of his body. A layer of black primordial energy shield rose around him, isolating the lake water while also making his descent speed incredibly fast.
