Zhang Mu clutched the Bloodvine Lotus in his hand,sure that it didn’t resist him He scrutinized it

The Bloodvine Lotus’s vitality had been woken by Zhang Mu’s blood and the energy froed from the tip of the lotus seed

Seeing the tiny sprout, Zhang Mu felt a surge of excitement

Was this the sign of fusing that the merchant had oncefor Zhang Mu’s decision

Why did Zhang Mu hesitate? The reason was that the stronger the power, the greater the cost The Bloodvine Lotus was very strong Consequently, it took way too y to support it Ordinary people could not provide for the Bloodvine Lotus

The lotus in the Great Buddha was a fossil seed from the ancient times Later, it fused with the stone used to carve the Buddha There was nothing special about the lotus before the mutation occurred

However, when the new era came, the lotus totally transfor wave at the start of the debugging period As the stones on its surface began to fall

off, its strong vitality was gradually restored and it awakened incredible abilities

In the new era, the effects of the evolving wave benefited everyone Even if it was just a dog tail grass on the roadside, it er

Now the lotus just ca period where it only knew based on instinct to use illusions to attract humans or creatures without firm wills The lotus would use them as fertilizers and absorb their vitality until their death

Zhang Mu accelerated its process of absorbing energy The reason Zhang Mu let the lotus suck his blood was that the lotus followed the owner of the blood Luckily, Zhang Mu didn’t die as he used crystals and beast cores to substitute for the y it would have otherwise taken from his blood

Right now, the Bloodvine Lotus looked very enticing as it gleahts

Yet, Zhang Mu understood it was just like Pandora’s box; the charer it poses

Come Fuse with me

An alluring voice echoed in Zhang Mu’s mind

“Do you still want to useMu chuckled,

chuckled, unaffected He glanced at the lotus snidely

The host of the Bloodvine Lotus needed to be a rank higher than it and be able to provide enough energy for it Otherwise, the host would be cory Bloodvine Lotus

Unlike the “servant-obedience” contract that the ant Bloodvine Lotus had a parasitic relationshi+p with its host It was an association for ilance, it would end in his death

“You don’t have to te Mu, know exactly what you are If I don’t feed you until you’re full, then I don’t deserve my title as a first sub-merchant”

Zhang Mu grasped the Bloodvine Lotus tightly as if squashi+ng any rebellious intentions it may have

Indeed, if Zhang Mu couldn’t even feed the Lotus, sooner or later, he would be eaten clean by the Merchant’s Ring on his finger
