Zhao Rong looked at the glistening golden plant inside the square box and asked Gulinnana, "Young lady, is this flower by any chance the legendary Tianshan Snow Lotus?"
Xue Lianmei couldn't believe it either. "I've seen on TV since I was a child that the Snow Lotus should be white," she said. "But the one in your box... why is it golden? It's even glowing."
Before the two could finish, Gulinnana quickly shut the box. "Those white Tianshan Snow Lotuses are the lowest, most worthless grade," she said. "But this golden one I have is the rarest and most valuable of them all. Not only can it be used in alchemy, but it can also suddenly sprout two legs and run away..."
Hearing that the Snow Lotus could run away like a ginseng doll, Zhao Rong's eyes widened in surprise. "You mean this type of Snow Lotus is sentient?" he asked Gulinnana.
