Snow lotus essence

Sixth Hair proposes modifying the last steps of a Cleanse Soul recipe so snow lotus essence replaces several ice path immortal materials, lengthening the process but lowering difficulty. Snow lotus essence is a rank seven immortal material, rarely seen in treasure yellow heaven, yet snowman tribes produce a lot of it, including the tribe below the northern icy plain. ^{ch. 1441}

Snow lotus essence is about the size of an adult fist, with pink petals, bright red stamens, and a fingernail-thick layer of pure transparent ice over the whole flower. The coldness is spring-like and carries vigorous vitality rather than a chilling freeze. It is a scarce rank seven immortal material even in treasure yellow heaven because it only grows in large scale snowman tribes, and those tribes sell only small amounts at intervals to avoid exposure. ^{ch. 1443}

The flowers are ice-cold yet hold warm life force, making them a strong replacement for flowing fire core when using the ice refinement method. Flowing fire core from the original recipe is covered on flowing fire core. Enough supply of snow lotus essence is among the reasons Fang Yuan finally refines cleanse soul Immortal Gu after many attempts. ^{ch. 1443} Shadow Sect inheritances traded for Lang Ya contribution points fund other materials, but without snow lotus essence the refinement still lacks its crucial ingredient. ^{ch. 1444}

Bing Yuan sells a large amount of snow lotus essence to Lang Ya Sect’s Sixth Hair to help Fang Yuan’s Immortal Gu refining, as a paid transaction rather than a gift. ^{ch. 1459}

When Xue Er brings snow lotus essence, she also states the snowmen’s intention of a marriage connection. Fang Yuan weighs that using snowman support would speed Immortal Gu feeding and basic development far faster than working alone, and he is not against the marriage connection. ^{ch. 1461}

Xue Er brings snow lotus essence among betrothal gifts that Fang Yuan stores in Mini Northern Plains. It is a specialty immortal material of the snowmen and rare in treasure yellow heaven. ^{ch. 1462}

Each variant human race has unique resources; snowmen are named with ice tears and snow lotus essence as that pair of specialties, which sell for huge profits when produced at scale. Fang Yuan later notes he is related to the snowmen by marriage and that the snowman tribe is supporting him when he considers which variant humans to raise. ^{ch. 1489}
