"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine..."
Teng Qingshan counted the leaves and murmured in shock, "Nine leaves. This is actually a Nine-Leaf Flame Lotus!!!"
Teng Qingshan was both shocked and exhilarated. Of the nine Flame Lotuses that had appeared throughout the history of the Endwood Continent, the highest had previously only been seven-leafed. Yet now, a Nine-Leaf Flame Lotus had appeared right before him. What incredible luck.

"A Nine-Leaf Flame Lotus!"
The man cried out involuntarily. After noticing Teng Qingshan, he hurriedly dove back
