The old man is not aware yet, but that spiritual plant is an auspicious sign that there will be a group of naked battle saints running around the imperial city when it matures...hahađđđ
There's a reason for the elder to think like that, he didn't know there's 2 9th grade monster in the little store, much less battle saints, even war gods won't be able to walk free without getting naked and getting thrown away through the alleyway out of the store..
