Chapter 2760 — Getting Ready for Snow Valley!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"That spirit herb is called the Orchid-Mustard Jade Bell Grass. It grows in the ancient sect Snow Valley, and is exceedingly precious and rare..." Old Man Wei gritted his teeth and decided to tell Wei Zhao outright. He could not keep hiding it forever, after all. Of course, Old Man Wei did not yet know of the great feat Tang's mother had accomplished in Snow Valley. Had he known, he would not have told Wei Zhao—he would have gone straight to Gu Mengyao instead.
"The ancient sect Snow Valley?" Wei Zhao was briefly taken aback. Wasn't that the sect of Zhang Lifeng's old flame? So it seemed he really did have a connection to the place! The only question was how to go about requesting this spirit herb. "Old man, how did you get your spirit herb back then?"
"Your master went and got it. I don't know the details myself," Old Man Wei said.
"I see..." Wei Zhao nodded, not thinking too much of it. If his master had been able to get one, then surely he could too, no? Besides, Wei Zhao held the Heaven-rank weapon once used by Snow Valley's founding patriarch. However reluctant Snow Valley might be, they could still trade with him.
Only, wouldn't trading a Heaven-rank weapon for a single spirit herb be a bit too much of a loss? Wei Zhao wondered whether he ought to squeeze a few more things out of Snow Valley while he was at it.
"Xiaoyi, that's all I know. As for Snow Valley—if you want to go, you'd best discuss it with Gu Mengyao and the others first," Old Man Wei cautioned.
"Oh, all right." Wei Zhao paid it no mind, assuming the old man simply meant that no one would be left to protect the girls if he went off.
After hanging up, Wei Zhao felt both joy and worry. The joy was that Wang Xinyan's condition could be temporarily eased; the worry was that this was merely a stopgap, treating the symptoms and not the root. The jade pendant was the ultimate solution—but the person who made the pendants was not on this planet... What sort of situation was this?
"Well? Is there a way?" Gu Mengyao asked hurriedly the moment she saw Wei Zhao come out of his room.
"There is a way, but I'll need to make a trip to seek out the medicine." To keep everyone from worrying, Wei Zhao temporarily concealed the matter of the jade pendant. He only said, "The elixir the old man brewed back then was much like mine. The difference lies in that one spirit herb. I plan to go and obtain it within the next few days—that should solve most of Xinyan's problem."
"Oh? Arrow-Brand Brother, are you going back to West Star Mountain Village?" Shen Yushu asked.
"No—I'm going to another ancient sect. The old man doesn't have this spirit herb on hand either!" Wei Zhao shook his head. "I've mentioned this sect to you all before. It's called Snow Valley!"
"What?! Snow Valley!" Shen Yushu and Gu Mengyao cried out in unison, and Wang Xinyan's eyes went wide as well. "You're going to Snow Valley?"
"What is it?" Wei Zhao looked at the three astonished faces, puzzled. "What's with those expressions? Is Snow Valley a den of dragons and tigers, somewhere I can't go?"
