Stubborn Rock

Lin Mu was left astounded at the rock that had managed to resist a slash infused with Sword Intent.

~WOONG~

Even Afternoon Pine was shocked by this and showed it by a hum.

'A rock that can resist a slash like this… It's certainly not normal.' Lin Mu now understood. 

He had only managed to cut a few inches, and the rock was at least a few meters thick. Lin Mu could see the roots of the Three Colored Drizzling Mud Lotus tightly wrapped around the rock and also anchored into the small pores that were present in it.

'Do I need to cut the roots directly?' Lin Mu wondered. 'That will certainly cause some harm to the Lotus.' He knew.

Since he had managed to take the previous two Dazzling Mud Lotus flowers whole, he hoped to do the same for this one too. He knew that Crown Princess Shang wanted to study the flowers and figure out a way to grow one herself, thus he reckoned having a live plant would be much better.
