In this chapter, we learn that the flower essence of the snow lotus is made up of the petals of the flower, which are the roots of the tree. In order to break off the root, we need to swallow the flower directly. This is what we're told to do in the beginning of the chapter. We're also told that if you defeat chu yun today, you can get the flower and all the medicinal herbs from the Luo-Shui chamber of commerce for free. This means that you'll be able to get not just the flower but also all of the herbs for free, too.
