Chapter 104 Lottery
Chu Qiao followed the reflected light and located that the reflection came from the north side of the valley.
When she got closer, she saw a beautiful white flower blooming in the snow. The flower was as big as an adult man's fist, with layers of petals, looking like a lotus. On a trembling petal, a dewdrop lay at the bottom of the petal, ready to drip into the snow at any time.
It turns out it was you reflecting the light, Chu Qiao murmured.
Chicken Little: "How come a night of storms didn't uproot these flowers?"
Someone suddenly spoke up: "Flowers growing in the snow? Impossible! Host, did you have someone plant them in advance?"
"What the above person said seems to make some sense. In the middle of winter, wouldn't all the flowers freeze to death?"
Brother Feng: "Hello, new friend. Anchor Chu Qiao never fakes anything. Today is the second day of Tianshan. Welcome to watch and support the fight against fakes."
Chu Qiao paid no attention to the sudden, piercing sound. She walked over to the white flower and said, "This is the magic of nature. While giving you storms, it also gives you vitality. Their long-lasting perseverance lies here. One reason is the leeward wind, and the other is the survival of the fittest."
The white flower looks like a lotus, and Chu Qiao searches his mind for the legend about snow lotus.
He said, "The snow lotus can withstand the severe cold of dozens of degrees below zero and the thin air and lack of oxygen, and it is extremely tenacious."
"Besides, it takes five years for snow lotus to sprout and bloom. I am so lucky to encounter it today." Chu Qiao didn't expect that his unintentional joke about coming to Tianshan to look for snow lotus would actually come true.
"Is this Snow Lotus?"
"Oh my god, isn't Mr. Chu here to look for snow lotus? He got what he wanted."
"Master Chu's mouth has been blessed."
"Master Chu, please say my name to share some of the good luck."
"Stop being so joking. I'm only concerned with whether this snow lotus is a panacea that can bring the dead back to life."
Chu Qiao smiled and shook his head. "Everyone has been misled by martial arts novels. Snow lotus does have medicinal value, but it's not as miraculous as imagined. I remember a pharmacopoeia stating: 'It has a very hot nature and can replenish essence and yang.' It mainly has the effects of dispelling cold, strengthening yang, stopping bleeding, treating weak waist and knees, and rheumatoid arthritis. As for bringing the dead back to life, that's completely nonsense."
As he spoke, Chu Qiao picked up a lot of snow lotus. Chu Qiao did not swallow the snow lotus directly, but put it carefully into his backpack.
"Isn't Master Chu hungry?"
"Master Chu isn't afraid of poison, is he?"
"In martial arts novels, snow lotus is not poisonous."
Chu Qiao shook her head, and the image of her father leaning against the door frame suddenly appeared in her mind. Her father had rheumatoid arthritis in his legs, so he seldom walked around, especially on rainy or snowy days, and he couldn't get out of bed.
Although Chu Qiao didn't believe that snow lotus could really cure rheumatoid arthritis, she still wanted to give it a try as long as there was hope.
Chu Qiao didn't explain to anyone, but smiled and said, "I need to think about how to sell it for a good price."
The drone flew low, taking pictures of the snow lotus, of which only roots were left. It flew too low, and the propeller swept the snow on the side.
"What is that?"
"Oh my god, it really showed a corner."
Chu Qiao went over and waved away the snow, only to see another snow lotus with its petals gently closed, not yet opened.
Chu Qiao raised the corner of her mouth and was delighted. She walked to the side and suddenly started digging in a place. When the drone got closer, everyone discovered that there was another snow lotus under the thick snow.
Chu Qiao brushed off the snow beside him, and sure enough, snow lotuses appeared one after another.
She unexpectedly entered an undiscovered snow lotus nest.
"Master Chu, you are really lucky."
"Master Chu, what are you waiting for? Roll up your sleeves and get to work digging snow lotus."
"Mr. Chu is probably too excited to speak."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Qiao's mouth curled up. So many?
In that case, I won’t be polite.
She picked a flower, shook off the snow on it randomly, and without thinking much, tore off the petals and put them in her mouth.
When the snow residue and snow lotus entered his mouth, the biting coldness attacked from the tip of his tongue, to his mouth, and all the way to his stomach. Chu Qiao frowned slightly, but for the sake of vitamins, Chu Qiao did not stop and ate 5 snow lotus.
"Master Chu is really wasting this. Wouldn't it be great if this could be used to make soup?"
"Master Chu will tell you that just living is enough."
Chu Qiao swallowed five snow lotuses, panting and adjusting her breathing. Suddenly, her originally cold stomach suddenly became hot.
Chu Qiao felt that her cold fingers, which had been exposed to the snow for a long time, gradually began to feel a little warm. Chu Qiao was stunned. Although she knew the effect of snow lotus, she was still surprised to feel such obvious changes in her body personally.
"Why is Mr. Chu blushing?"
"The ears are red too."
"Could it be Snow Lotus?"
"Will it be bad to eat too much?"
Chu Qiao felt the coldness gradually leaving her body. It was as if a small stove was placed inside her body, warming her whole body and even her nerve endings.
Lu Zhan, who was standing in front of the screen, moved his eyes slightly. Seeing the obvious change in Chu Qiao's complexion, his face turned red.
Chu Qiao: "Although the ancients exaggerated the efficacy of snow lotus, I just chewed one dry and felt my whole body warmed up. It is indeed a first-class cold-dispelling ability. I underestimated it."
"Mr. Hua Tuo Lu gifted the host a plane - can you bring some back so I can study it?"
Brother Feng: "Chu, I want one too."
Chu Qiao tilted his head and said, "Natural snow lotus is extremely hard to find, especially one of this quality. It's not easy to come across one."
Chu Qiao looked at the hundreds of snow lotus flowers in the ditch, ran forward, and picked more than a dozen of them.
"Didn't Master Chu say that we should pursue sustainable development?"
"Why are you being so hypocritical this time? Does Mr. Chu prefer flowers over agate?"
Chu Qiao shook his head. "First, I have a relative who has arthritis, and I want to give him some to try. Second, I want to give them to Lu Zhan for research. Maybe they have other magical uses. I'll give him thirty flowers. I don't want to destroy this snow lotus valley."
After saying that, Chu Qiao carefully placed the snow lotus flowers he picked into the compartment of his backpack one by one.
The valley was eerily quiet. If there were no one interacting with her in the live broadcast room, no matter how strong Chu Qiao was, she would have moments of vulnerability.
Chu Qiao said to the screen with gratitude, "I'll use 10 of these snow lotus flowers for myself, give 10 to Doctor Lu for research, and the remaining 10 will be randomly drawn to a fan at the Alliance Leader level or above. Brother Feng, when this mission is over and I successfully leave the mountain, you will be responsible for the draw."
There was a burst of applause on the barrage:
"Hit me, hit me."
"The giant salamander gifted the anchor a plane—I was so close to becoming the leader, but no, I want to draw a prize."
"ChuChu's fans gifted the anchor a rocket—go for it."
"Fly up to the clouds and give the anchor a rocket - I want one too."
…
Suddenly, rewards kept flashing on the barrage.
