The Nine-Heart Lotus was the very lifeline of the Nine-Heart Demon Fruit Tree, equivalent to a human heart. All the fruits the tree continuously produced were derived from it—one can only imagine how precious it was!
In terms of value, a single Nine-Heart Lotus was worth more than even a hundred of the Nine-Heart Demon Fruit Tree's fruits combined!
Nie Yun had consumed twelve Demon Fruits, which had only advanced the fourth layer of his Spirit Rhinoceros Body Refining Technique by a small amount. If he could consume the Nine-Heart Lotus, his physical strength would definitely take another leap forward. Even if the fourth layer didn't reach Great Success, it would be close!
It was because he knew of this legend that Nie Yun had decided to come with Baihua Xiu to find the Nine-Heart Demon Fruit Tree. Otherwise, why would a mere fruit be enough to make him pause the search for his parents and run all the way out here?
