Chapter 3825 — Seeds Sprout

That's right. They had awakened!
Although these spirit herb seeds had not yet truly developed into seedlings, and strictly speaking, their present state was not all that different from before, anyone with eyes could see that they were no longer as utterly motionless as they had been. They had awakened!
Their seed coats had begun to split, with shoots and roots bursting forth, presenting a flourishing spectacle brimming with vitality.
The heart Wei Zhao had been holding in suspense finally dropped back into place. All eighty-five spirit herb seeds, including the two Heart-Devouring Linglong Grass seeds, had survived. The jade pendant's space had indeed lived up to his expectations and given him a tremendous surprise!
Before today's challenge tournament, all eighty-five spirit herb seeds had still been lying in a deathly silence, neither alive nor dead. Yet after merely one afternoon, they had collectively awakened. Even Wei Zhao, who had seen all manner of strange and bizarre things, found it utterly unbelievable once the realization sank in.
They had been completely motionless, and then Kang Jingming came along to taunt him, only for all eighty-five spirit herb seeds to awaken together. This was a slap in the face in the most literal sense. If Kang Jingming found out, that fool would be so furious he might pass out on the spot.
For Wei Zhao, who had been worrying himself sick, Kang Jingming was nothing short of a lucky star. Otherwise, who knew how long he would have had to wait?
"All things possess a spirit. That saying certainly couldn't be more true." Wei Zhao could not help smiling as the corners of his lips lifted.
If nothing unexpected happened, then within the next few days, these eighty-five awakened spirit herb seeds would truly begin to take root and sprout. Nurtured by the pure spiritual energy within the jade pendant's space, their development into spirit herb seedlings was already just around the corner.
However, Wei Zhao suddenly realized that it might be time to make a trip to the marketplace.
Now that all eighty-five spirit herb seeds, including the two Heart-Devouring Linglong Grass seeds, had awakened, raising them successfully to maturity would be virtually effortless under the jade pendant's uniquely favorable conditions. Moreover, because the growth cycles of these spirit herb seeds had been accelerated countless times by artificial means, that day would not be far off.
If nothing went wrong, Wei Zhao would soon be able to harvest two stalks of Heart-Devouring Linglong Grass and begin preparing to refine the vital Foundation Establishment Golden Pill.
But two stalks of Heart-Devouring Linglong Grass alone were obviously not enough to refine a Foundation Establishment Golden Pill, and with his current reserves of spirit herbs, he could not gather the remaining materials. To avoid delaying the refinement, he would have to make a trip to the marketplace soon.
He knew perfectly well that if he appeared in the marketplace as Lin Er at this juncture, he might well run into his enemy Yu Jiang, and perhaps even Yu Jiang's master, Nan Tianyong. That threat was by no means insignificant.
But compared with the Foundation Establishment Golden Pill, this degree of risk meant little to Wei Zhao. He could not possibly abandon the materials needed to refine it simply to avoid danger. That was not Wei Zhao's way.
Once he had made up his mind, Wei Zhao put on the Thousand-Thread Mask the following morning and appeared in the marketplace in the identity of Lin Er.
The last time he had bought the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Golden Pill on the outer street, he had paid a total of eight spirit jades, and in the end, he had successfully refined the pill. This time, however, Wei Zhao had no intention of repeating the process.
