Ao Xiu could not help thinking, This is truly miraculous beyond belief.
Then another thought crossed his mind: Damn it, this really is... a profit! A massive profit!
Ao Xiu's eyes shone. Born into the Sea Merchant Guild, he was more familiar than anyone with appraising value. If it was truly as Yu Ci said, with flower and leaf complementing one another to produce such a transformation, then the Water Lotus Flower's value had increased by more than tenfold. With the demonic calamity raging like this, forget a Fourteenth Heaven artifact—even a Seventeenth or Eighteenth Heaven one, he would not trade for it!
For the sake of preserving face, Yu Ci was truly willing to bleed himself dry!
Just as delight rose to his brows, Yu Ci added, "Of course, for the two talismans to link together and adapt to each other will still take time, and there will be some loss as well. To bring out their effects, it would be best to kill celestial demons, gather their demonic intent and essence, and make up what is missing. If you must replenish it from the beginning..."
