Beside the Great River.
A Daoist sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, a precious cauldron suspended above his head.
A trace of hesitation showed on his face.
His gaze fell on the immaculate white surface at the platform's center. Five fist-sized lotus seeds were embedded there, radiating pure Five Elements spiritual energy.
A lotus platform bearing lotus seeds was only natural.
And the seeds formed by this Five Elements Lotus Platform, just one step shy of Tier 5, were bound to be exceptional.
Used in medicine, they could serve as the main ingredient for a Tier 4 Pill.
Used in artifact refining, the resulting single-use Magic Treasures might prove no less destructive than the Thunder Immortal Pearls that had emerged from Bai Ye Cave Mansion on Accumulated Thunder Mountain.
Luo Chen, however, had no method for using them.
After all, refining a Nascent Soul Pill required only the platform itself.
Now he tentatively placed his hand on a red bead: the Fire Lotus Seed.
According to Han Zhan, the Five Elements Lotus Platform was an aid to cultivation usable only by Nascent Soul True Persons. They could use its ability to draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and automatically filter out impurities to speed their cultivation.
Even in the Eastern Wasteland, few such treasures circulated. The Mingyuan Sect controlled them.
Only occasionally did a small number enter circulation.
It was said that Divine Origin True Person of the Five Elements Divine Sect had been able to cultivate all five elements and reach the Nascent Soul Late Stage because he had obtained a Five Elements Lotus Platform.
In all likelihood, the platform Divine Origin True Person had acquired was inferior to the one before Luo Chen.
But that was beside the point.
Back to the matter at hand.
