Chapter 60, Surprise Inspection
The woman proudly said: "I’m skilled in the art of Artifact Refining. After we absorb the Merit Power, I can coat the ID with gold using my skills. Externally, it looks unchanged, unnoticed unless looked at very closely.
Moreover, since the ID is in our hands, it’s already ours. We are just absorbing the Merit Power within it without causing any damage. Don’t you think that’s reasonable?"
The others nodded repeatedly, agreeing that it made perfect sense.
In the Primordial World where Witch Demons abound and the strong are numerous, they usually secluded themselves in cultivation to avoid karma and catastrophe, thus they had only heard of the benefits of Merit Power but never possessed it. Now, with Merit Power before them, their greed was hard to conceal.
The wolf-headed youth suddenly smiled and said: "Moreover, I have already pledged myself to a senior brother of the Inner Sect. Even if I absorb this Merit Power, he can’t do anything to me."
The others’ eyes lit up. A senior brother of the Inner Sect? Indeed, we also have our own backing, they thought, feeling reassured and continuously nodding, saying, "Exactly!"
"Absolutely!"
"That makes sense."
