Black Lotus Novels & Stories

Chase suddenly noticed something inside, and his eyes brightened. "Huh? The color of the water in this vat seems unusual." It instantly grabbed Chase's attention. The light in the vat was light green and glowed faintly. A lotus the size of a palm was floating in the middle of the vat. This lotus was translucent and bright. It looked very real, like it truly existed. "Could this be the legendary Crystal Lotus?" Chase's eyes widened. He had once read about this spiritual herb in a book. It was a valuable spiritual that took a mysterious Pill Refining Master years of experience and effort to nurture.

It must have been them who leaked the information. "Speak." "The Tri-colored Lotus in the Black Bug Valley… It can lift the curse. Good luck to you," said Black Maple Master before he ended the call. However, with both sides hostile, he would not be so kind-hearted. There must be hidden motives. Alexander turned his head to the side, asking, "Sheila, what are Black Bug Valley and Tri-colored Lotus?" "Mister Kane, you must not go. Although the Tri-colored Lotus is the top sacred object in Grimalkin, no one has ever been able to harvest it for thousands of years," said Sheila urgently, more nervous than when Alexander faced four semi-Empyreans.

Never have I imagined being humbled by a human, or any member of my kind, let alone a goddamn plant from God knows where. 'What's this plant, anyway?' I thought within me. "It's the black lotus." Laura answered as if she read my mind. Yes, she read my mind. "The black lotus?" Monica pressed. "It's a rare ancient plant dangerous to all specie of life, humans, animals..." she transferred her gaze on me, "...and supernaturals. A drop of its juice in the blood stream of its host will kill an animal in three days, a human in seven days, and a supernatural in eight weeks."

Old Hagstorm laughed and opened the three blind boxes. In the third box was a unique medicinal plant. It was shaped like a lotus and had seven bizarrely fiery red petals, representing its extreme heat attribute. This was the Dragon Flame Lotus! The second box had a ginseng larger than the wild ginseng king that Andrius had obtained long ago. Just by how it looked, it was clear that it was more valuable than the wild ginseng king. The first blind box had an almost transparent wax-like substance that emitted a faint fragrance. It was the legendary Gold Essence Ambergris!

‘Chex, aren’t those territories where only phase one and two can enter’ Nara asked staring at ivory ‘Yeah, that’s where the ice lotus grows; it grows in a cave guarded by white leopards’ ivory stated glancing at everyone. ‘White leopards can be pretty dangerous’ indigo commented ‘it will not be easy to get the ice lotus so how much do each of us get’. ‘Fifty merit points’ ivory proposed. ‘It’s too little’ Nara said looking at her nails. ‘anything you find will be yours well except the ice lotus, the area is filled with animals which cost a lot so even if we do not get the ice lotus we’ll still earn a lot of merit point’ ivory replied smiling.

She instructed and then began the chant. I concentrated on her sweet blood. It was easy to pull it forward she was the only wolf's blood I’ve had in a few centuries. I used the need to burn my throat to coax her to me. The altar began to shine a deep red. Getting my hopes up, I tried to draw her to me. Natalia’s chanting grew louder and more forceful. The light swirled like a tornado while the lights grew in intensity. It abruptly stopped causing dots to cloud my vision. I blink them away trying to see the alter again. I finally get my vision back and the altar was empty. Again!

"Senior Brothers, there will always be gains and losses. I believe you should know what to do, right?" Meng Liuli asked again. "Hmph..." Finally, Hen Yuhuang threw out an item. They were ten lotus flowers the size of a fist, emitting a cold aura. The lotus gave off a pure black light, which did not look evil at all. Instead, it had a holy smell. Zephyr Khan could clearly conclude that it was the smell of the Snow Lotus of the Holy Prison. "So few? My spirit energy, if I can't hold on at the critical moment, I hope you won't blame me!"

Gradually, the sea of blood around began to change. In the rumbling sound, as the Blood Sea gathered toward Caspian in the center, it stretched out its own branches. In the end, the whole Blood Sea turned into a huge blood-red lotus. The leaves and petals of the lotus were vivid and lifelike. It was like a real blood lotus standing proudly between heaven and earth. However, the Blood Lotus was too fierce and surging. If ordinary cultivators got a little closer, their consciousness would be eroded. They would either be integrated into it or become its puppets.

The girls had chosen this spot for its energy—a natural convergence point where the earth’s magic pooled like water. Freda lit the black candles with a whispered word, their flames burning unnaturally blue. Pru scattered a circle of salt mixed with crushed obsidian, the grains glittering like crushed stars. Rita laid out the parchment—yellowed with age, borrowed from Gogo’s private stash—and the silver dagger, its blade etched with runes. "Ready?" Freda asked. Rita nodded. Pru grinned.

“Alright, let’s argue it through the. Hallie, you said there’s design is yours. Then do you know why it’s called Step Louts?” I sneered as I had already prepared for this question. I said softly, “Legend has it that when Buddha Shakya was born, he immediately took seven steps on the ground. Every time he made a step, a lotus was produced. As a creature related to immorality, the Lotus is the only plant in the world where flowers, fruit, and seeds coexist. When the lotus die, their roots still remain alive. New lotus would grow up from them next year. If a person dies but their souls do not die. They reincarnate just like the lotus.” After I explained all of this, everyone respected me and fe
