Chapter 2050 — The Strange Bead

"Is that really so?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Of course!" Shen Yushu nodded.
"All right, let her rest a while. We shouldn't disturb her," Wei Zhao said.
Han Jingyi was so exhausted that she had fallen asleep the moment she hit the bed, and Wei Zhao did not want to wake her. He had intended to use the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art to help restore her strength, but since she was already asleep, that could wait until she woke.
At this point Wei Zhao no longer wished to keep anything from Han Jingyi. He also meant to let her study the mental cultivation method for condensing pill fire that he had obtained from Zhang Lifeng's tomb. This genius girl had held nothing back from him, telling him all about such a remarkable piece of research—if Wei Zhao kept hedging and hiding things now, that really would be unfair.
And it was plain that Han Jingyi bore him no ill will whatsoever; on the contrary, she seemed to rely on him a great deal, telling him alone about her good news rather than anyone else. So Wei Zhao had come to feel a good deal of fondness for Han Jingyi as well.
"Mm…" Having discovered nothing, Shen Yushu could not help feeling a little disappointed. She came out of the room, met Gu Mengyao's inquiring gaze, and shook her head.
Gu Mengyao smiled at Xiaoshu's expression. She had guessed long ago that nothing could be going on between Wei Zhao and Han Jingyi—and so it was.
Sitting down on the sofa with Xiaoshu, Wei Zhao took out the round bead he had obtained at the Lion-Tiger Park and began to study it…
The thing was very strange. Its surface resembled some kind of calcified substance; it was quite round but had little luster, rather dim. Yet inside the bead, Wei Zhao could clearly sense a very high concentration of energy!
That energy differed from ordinary heaven-and-earth spiritual qi, though; it was more like some special true qi that had been infused into the bead. What it was for, he had no idea.
Still, by intuition Wei Zhao was certain this was most likely a good thing!
But even a good thing was useless if he did not know what it was. He could only snap a photo with his phone and email it to Old Man Wei. The old man was widely experienced and just might know what this thing was and what it was used for.
In the email, Wei Zhao also told Old Man Wei where the object had come from and about the energy contained within it.
To Wei Zhao's disappointment, however, the old man's reply came quickly—but his answer was that he did not know, had never seen it, and had never heard of such a thing!
"How is it?" Shen Yushu was anxious to know just what this thing was.
"Not much… the old man doesn't know either." Wei Zhao shook his head. "Looks like this thing really is a bit out of the ordinary?"
