Li Gang's announcement was followed by a brief period of suffocating silence that seemed to stretch forever, even if it lasted only a few seconds.
The silence was understandable, given what was asked in trade for that cauldron.
Whether it was the black star ice, the radiant serene snow water, the pill spring nectar, or the twilight sunstone, none of these items was easy to find, given the process required to form them and the fact that each could be considered a natural Dao treasure, especially the pill spring nectar.
The nectar was produced from the nectar that pooled at the heart of a winterspring jade plum blossom. The flower itself sprouted and bloomed within a single period, which was the exact moment when winter and spring merged as winter transitioned to spring. During that brief window, the winterspring jade plum blossom would not only sprout but also mature and bloom, and at the heart of the flower, the pill spring nectar would form.
