She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 898 - 817: Famine Era 58 (Third Update)

Even though Yan’s medicines are numerous, can they be better than Tianshan Snow Lotus?

This is why she was moved to tears, because as long as she can grow Tianshan Snow Lotus, perhaps Tong Zhan could regain his vitality?

As a result, that night she was so overjoyed that she had insomnia, and the growth cycle of the Snow Lotus reached the highest value of space plants, fifty hours.

To witness its entire process from germination to flowering to fruition, Ye Huan was even somewhat absent-minded in class, moreover, she found some drawing paper, and periodically checked it to see what it looked like, using her sketches to record its complete appearance from seedling to maturity little by little.

There’s no denying that the Snow Lotus truly deserves its reputation as a holy relic of Tianshan, it’s breathtakingly beautiful, with white petals that look purer than lotus flowers, and pale green leaves that are equally translucent.

The old Tibetan Medicine teacher once told her, from seed germination to flowering stalk formation, it takes 6-8 years, with the final year blooming from July to August, the larger the bloom, the better the quality.

Although the Snow Lotus seeds germinate at 0°C and grow between 3～5°C, with seedlings able to withstand -21°C cold, space is defying nature itself, even without the aid of these environmental conditions, they can still bloom independently, showing how fortunate Tangyuan is as its owner.

Although it takes five years to flower, the actual growth period is only eight months.

This is also considered quite unique biologically.

Snow Lotus has various types, including Water Mother Snow Lotus, Mian Head Snow Lotus, Snowdrops, Tibetan Snow Lotus, etc.

With everyone’s demand for Snow Lotus’s medical value, products made from Snow Lotus, such as tonics, began to increase, and consuming Snow Lotus seemed to become a health fashion.

The demand market expansion directly caused the supply market to be flooded.

Every summer, farmers from Xinjiang and elsewhere climb mountains and madly dig, causing the number of Tianshan Snow Lotus to plummet.

The number of people illegally engaged in digging and selling Snow Lotus is large, with diverse identities across a wide area, endlessly emerging, making it extremely difficult to crack down on illegal digging activities, plus local management personnel who catch illegal diggers only impose light fines and confiscate the goods, which does not effectively curb the actions.

The soil where Snow Lotus takes root relies on bacteria, moss, and lichen breaking down rocks to form, a process that requires millions of years to progress slowly, and picking requires some skill. If it’s uprooted completely, it makes the already small patches of soil very difficult to regain its original fertility, making it nearly impossible for Snow Lotus to grow again in the same place. Yet the groups of illegal Snow Lotus pickers do exactly that—uprooting completely!

This is also the reason why Snow Lotus is on the verge of extinction, and now Ye Huan has seeds, doesn’t this mean she can keep cultivating them continuously?

Ye Huan is very happy, because after gathering information, the Tibetan Medicine here not only has Snow Lotus seeds, but also many unique medicinal materials from Xinjiang, such as Lobama for treating high blood pressure, Xinjiang Wormwood for clearing heat and detoxification, Purple gromwell that has contraceptive, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and even tumor treatment effects, Xinjiang Wood Vine for treating urethritis, and others. Once she got the seeds from the old teacher, she planned to cultivate them using space, this way, even without medications in the future, these Traditional Chinese Medicines would play a crucial role.

The more people she heals, the more people benefit, doesn’t this mean her Merit Value increases?

Coming here, apart from wanting to live well, she also wants to help those who need help under the conditions provided.

Originally, doctors in frontier areas were few, now she can find her own value too.

Once the Snow Lotus matured, Ye Huan read many books, found a method to process it, then grinded it into powder, made it into Medicine Pills using space water, then gave it to Tong Zhan, letting him take one every two days, since she was worried the medicinal properties might be too strong, so she needed to proceed gradually.

Initially it indeed didn’t have any effect, but after a month of continuous intake, one night, Tong Zhan excitedly grabbed her shoulders and shook her awake, asking her to look at his body, and at a glance she was startled:"

Tong Zhan’s eyebrows couldn’t hide the excitement," I’ve been feeling it recently, but today is the strongest,"

Ye Huan blushed, worried it might just be a fleeting moment, but seeing him so happy, she was too embarrassed to dampen his enthusiasm, so she agreed.

Result—

Even turned over and cried in the end, making Ye Huan distressed, tightly hugging his shoulders:" Isn’t this a good thing?"
