Chapter 2724 — Testing Attributes
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
And most important of all, Gu Mengyao envied those Heaven Tier experts—Bingtang, Xueli, and the like—whose looks aged so slowly. She did not want to become a haggard old woman someday and find herself utterly out of place beside Wei Zhao.
Tang Zhi, Feng Xiaoxiao—they would all stay impossibly young, forever twenty. She refused to be outshone, and so she burned with enthusiasm for cultivation.
"The test is simple. Just put your hand on it and circulate your inner-energy method… Huh? You don't have any inner-energy methods?" Wei Zhao froze, suddenly realizing a serious problem.
Back in the tomb, he had not read the *Record of Strange Tales and Marvels* carefully himself; it was Leader Bai who had read it and then told him what to do. So now Wei Zhao had no idea how to test Gu Mengyao and the others.
"No inner-energy method, no test? Then what use is this thing…?" Gu Mengyao was speechless too. This treasure Wei Zhao had brought back—why did it seem so useless?
"Let me ask." Wei Zhao took out his phone and dialed Leader Bai's number.
"Xiaoyi, what is it?" Leader Bai picked up quickly.
"Teacher Bai, it's like this. I was going to use that round bead for testing constitutions to check Gu Mengyao and the others, but they don't have any inner-energy methods of their own—how do we test them?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Oh, you don't need to circulate a mnemonic to test. But you can only test false attributes and true attributes—you can't test illusory attributes!" Leader Bai explained. "False or true, both are innate to the body, so they can be tested directly. Illusory attributes, however, are acquired later, so without circulating an inner-energy mnemonic there's no way to test them! Back then, I had you circulate the mnemonic because I wanted to test the illusory attribute inside you. To test true and false attributes, no mnemonic is needed—just rest your hand on the bead for more than five seconds and the result will show."
"Oh? So that's how it works!" Wei Zhao said in sudden understanding. "All right then, Teacher Bai, carry on with your work—I'll run a test on my end."
"Fine. If anything else is unclear, give me a call," Leader Bai said readily.
After hanging up, Wei Zhao said to Gu Mengyao and the other two, "Testing true and false attributes doesn't require a mnemonic. Just place your palm on it for more than five seconds."
"Oh? Then let me try first?" Shen Yushu reached out curiously and laid her palm on the round bead inside the wooden box in Wei Zhao's hand. After about five or six seconds, a fiery red color suddenly appeared on the bead—brilliant and bright, flickering with a vivid crimson glow!
