Qingyue Pavilion. Shen Long had finished refining the Five-Leaf Jade Lotus and stored it within his body, nurturing it with his True Yuan.
He could now use the Five-Leaf Jade Lotus to substitute for a tribulation. Once used, he would have to wait another sixty years before he could use the Five-Leaf Jade Lotus to substitute for another tribulation.
This was already quite impressive. For items like the Tribulation-Substituting Bead or Talisman, a cultivator would have to nurture them within their body for a hundred years before they could be used to substitute for a tribulation.
There were tribulation-substituting treasures higher in grade than the Five-Leaf Jade Lotus, with more uses, shorter intervals between, and crafted from even more precious materials.
Shen Long took out a piece of blue-gold ore the size of a millstone. Within it, one could see some blue crystals—this was Blue Glaze Gold Lang Ore he had won at an auction.
