"It should be possible to evolve."
Shi Feng selected the option to evolve the Holy City Emblem, though he still felt a bit uncertain in his heart. After all, the Holy City Emblem didn't have different quality tiers like weapons or equipment, which could be divided into Bronze or Dark-Gold.
He watched as a wisp of purple mist flowed from the deep blue chalice, slowly enveloping the silver-gleaming Holy City Emblem in his hand, as if scanning the item.
Three seconds later, a system prompt chimed in his ears.
System: Are you willing to permanently lose 1,000 HP to allow the Holy City Emblem to evolve?
"Legendary-tier items are truly formidable!" Shi Feng couldn't help but reveal an excited expression.
Although permanently losing 1,000 HP was quite harsh—600 HP more than when he'd evolved the Dark-Gold-tier Icarus's Heart, equivalent to 30 extra points of Stamina lost—it was all worth it. As long as the evolution succeeded, the value it would bring far surpassed that of an Epic-tier item.
Without hesitation, Shi Feng chose to confirm the evolution.
Instantly, his HP dropped by 1,000 points, falling from the original 26,300 to 25,300.
However, even with a 1,000-point reduction, Shi Feng's total HP was still thicker than that of a pure tank like Ke Le. If he activated the Earth Ring of the Seven Luster Rings, he would become even more durable than Ke Le as a main tank.
As Shi Feng's HP decreased, streams of emerald-green liquid flowed into the chalice. The purple glow emanating from within intensified, radiating a dazzling light as it seeped into the Holy City Emblem bit by bit.
Suddenly, the Holy City Emblem erupted with a brilliant golden radiance that illuminated the entire warehouse.
"Did it succeed?" Shi Feng stared intently at the Holy City Emblem in his hand, his expression extremely tense.
If it succeeded, it meant that the future development of the Candlelight Trading House would become limitless.
While other guilds were still agonizing over the resources spent cultivating high-level life profession players, he could effortlessly produce batches upon batches of advanced life profession players, granting the Candlelight Trading House an absolute, dominant position.
Even if shop space was insufficient, he could easily outshine other trading houses in terms of the quantity of high-end goods. Moreover, high-tier items were the mainstream purchases for players; there would be no concern about the Candlelight Trading House lacking competitiveness.
If he could cultivate even a single Grandmaster-level player, the daily income would be so immense he'd get cramps just counting the money.
If it failed, he'd have to wait another ten days and spend another 1,000 HP. Just the thought of that was depressing. But even so, he had to persist, because the Titan Holy City was critical to the Candlelight Trading House's future.
After the golden light faded, the originally silver-white Holy City Emblem had turned a pale gold color. Fine divine script was engraved upon the emblem, causing the ambient magic to involuntarily converge upon it. This shrouded the Holy City Emblem in a faint, mist-like aura, adding an extra touch of mystery.
Subsequently, Shi Feng checked the Holy City Emblem's description.
Holy City Emblem: Opens the teleportation gate to the Titan Holy City, allowing a maximum of twenty people to enter. Cooldown time: seven days. The holder of this emblem may extend their stay in the Titan Holy City by an additional two days upon each entry.
After reading the description, Shi Feng was ecstatic.
Although it wasn't as he'd imagined—it didn't extend the entry duration for individual players like a City Entry Token—the number of people allowed inside had doubled from ten to twenty. Furthermore, the emblem's holder could stay two days longer than everyone else. For Shi Feng, this was practically an unlimited residency pass to the Titan Holy City.
