Chapter 2714 — Three Heaven-Tier Weapons
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"So that is how it is." Wei Zhao nodded and stepped closer to the display rack. Sure enough, two of the weapons bore a tiny character for "ice," while the third bore a tiny character for "snow."
Such weapons were of little use to Wei Zhao, yet he still wanted to claim them for himself—not for any other reason than this: these two blades that had once belonged to the Ice Palace, if he could give one of them to Feng Xiaoxiao, she would surely be delighted, would she not?
As for the other, he could give it to that little miss Bingtang—provided, of course, that the girl had the good sense to return Feng Xiaoxiao to him.
The weapon from Snow Valley was of no use to Wei Zhao, and he knew no one from Snow Valley either. But one took good things when one could—who knew when they might prove useful? If it were stolen away like that Shennong Cauldron before, Wei Zhao would regret it beyond measure.
"Thunder Pig, I can take all of these things, can I not?" Wei Zhao asked.
"You are the master's fated one, and my new master as well. Of course you can—all these things are yours." Thunder Pig wrote this readily enough, clearly having been instructed beforehand by Zhang Lifeng.
"Good, then I won't stand on ceremony." With that, Wei Zhao gathered up the three kinds of weapons from the wall and stowed them in his pack. Though he had no idea what these weapons actually were or what power they held, Wei Zhao had decided he did not care—take them first and ask questions later!
Once he had taken them, however, Wei Zhao wondered whether he was not being a bit too greedy. So he turned to Bai Lingtou and Yu Xiaoke. "Do you two want any?"
"I am an alchemist—what would I do with a Heaven-Tier divine weapon?" Bai Lingtou shook his head with a bitter smile. "My weapon is a cauldron too."
"Uh, then shall I give you the real Shennong Cauldron?" Wei Zhao asked.
"..." Bai Lingtou only shook his head, smiling. "That thing cannot be repaired, so it is of no use—fit only to be a collector's piece. Xiaoyi, you had best keep it yourself. Who knows, one day it may prove useful. Giving it to me would be a waste."
"All right. What about you, Xiaoke?" Wei Zhao went on, turning to Yu Xiaoke.
"I do not even know what cultivation method I am meant to practice yet, so having one would be no use to me. When I need one, I will tell you." Yu Xiaoke shook her head. Avaricious as she was, she would not take things like weapons—things of no use to the orphanage.
"Then let us go have a look at the other stone chamber and see what is there." Wei Zhao nodded and said no more. Together with Bai Lingtou, Yu Xiaoke, and Thunder Pig, he went to the last stone chamber they had not yet examined—though Yu Xiaoke had already been there ahead of them.
Upon entering the chamber, Wei Zhao saw an enormous bed... and at once his thoughts took a rather lewd turn. This Zhang Lifeng truly had been a man of romance—sleeping at night with a beauty on each arm!
It seemed this was where Zhang Lifeng and his two wives had truly rested. That ancient tomb above really was just a tomb. In his later years, Zhang Lifeng must have devoted himself entirely to researching the Heaven Dao Golden Pill, with no study of other elixirs at all, which was why the things up there had been of no use.
"There is a big chest here, full of golden hairpins, silver hairpins, and jewelry. I... may I take them?" Yu Xiaoke looked at Wei Zhao hesitantly.
"Uh..." Wei Zhao did not know whether these things ought to be taken. Taking the Heaven-Tier weapons was one thing, but these personal ornaments of Zhang Lifeng's wives—taking them as well seemed a bit much.
