Chapter 1219 — The Storage Jade Pendant
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Just thinking about it made Wei Zhao feel how useful it would be. Then he could perform magic tricks for Tang Zhi and Feng Xiaoxiao...
Had Jiao Yazi known that Wei Zhao meant to use this benefit for conjuring tricks, he would likely have been caught between laughter and tears! This benefit was what countless cultivators dreamed of, yet Wei Zhao thought only of using it to do magic — a sheer waste of heaven's gifts!
"Yes. Each time you open a stone gate, what opens along with it is not only the gate, but also my memories!" Jiao Yazi said. "You know that I am now only a phantom, not my true body. Certain things in my memory are suppressed and sealed, and they open as the stone gates open. So after you opened the first stone gate, my memory gained a few things concerning what lies within the first gate — and, of course, a portion of memory concerning what lies within the second. That is how I came to know of this benefit."
"So that's how it is!" Wei Zhao nodded in sudden understanding, thinking to himself: no wonder Jiao Yazi knew only fragments of certain things, and those dimly at that — his memory too was restored as the stone gates opened! No wonder, when he had asked about the jade pendant's power of foresight, Jiao Yazi had not been clear on it either! Perhaps that too was one of the jade pendant's benefits, but the time had not come to reveal it, or it would only be revealed in the cultivation method of the third or even the fourth layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art. Yet for some reason, this function had opened a small part of itself ahead of time!
"All right. I have said all that needs saying. The particulars will only be known once the second stone gate opens. Only do not let it slip past you." Jiao Yazi said.
"I understand!" Wei Zhao nodded, and pressed the benefit down to the bottom of his heart for the time being. To brood over it endlessly would unsettle his temperament, and that would do his cultivation no good. Better to let all things take their natural course; sooner or later the benefit would be his, and it could not run away.
Wei Zhao steadied his mind and returned from the jade pendant space to reality. Today's cultivation would have to come to a pause. Having just broken through, he must first consolidate his strength; to be thinking already of breaking through again would be truly reaching beyond his grasp.
After all, a tower ten thousand feet high rises from the ground; haste makes waste.
The union of toil and rest is the one truth that never changes.
Opening his eyes, Wei Zhao saw darkness all around. It was not yet light; night still held. Beyond the window all was pitch black, lit only by a hazy moon.
Looking at Feng Xiaoxiao asleep before him, a faint smile flickered at the corner of Wei Zhao's mouth. This girl really was rather lovely when she slept!
