The story of the legendary yet ever so elusive snow lotus began with a whisper carried by the wind (or rather by a bunch of gossipy old ladies and one cultivator that couldn't keep his mouth shut) through the vast expanse of the Xianxia world and into the ears of the other cultivators of the earthly realm.
The legend spoke of a bloom so rare and powerful, that it was said to possess the strength to heal even the most grievous injuries, and as the rumour spread, even the cultivators of the celestial and devil realms began to make their way to the earthly realm, eager to claim this fabled flower for themselves.
The same bloom happening in the middle of some random pond with cultivators from various factions surrounding it, ready to battle it out to snatch the lotus once it bloomed.
Naturally these cultivators aren't some unknown names or weaklings either, only the strongest and most cunning cultivators dare to come and try their luck at obtaining the legendary bloom after all.
And slowly but surely the once-hidden lotus began to bloom brilliantly, illuminating the pond with a radiant light. However, the awe-inspiring spectacle was abruptly disrupted as the surrounding cultivators started engaging in a rather heated battle in an attempt to be the one to obtain it.
Despite the ongoing brutal battle the lotus with a final, dramatic shudder managed to bloom. A burst of pure white light filled the area, momentarily blinding any nearby cultivators and when the light finally faded, the cultivators were met with a rather unexpected sight. Where once stood a beautiful snow lotus flower, there was now a young girl, standing perfectly still and her eyes wide open with confusion.
"Where the hell is the lotus???"
