Chapter 4758 — Sooner or Later You Get Used to It
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Left alone with Huo Yudie staring blankly at him, Wei Zhao spread his hands with a wry smile. He felt there was no need to hide anything from her. "The truth is, I carry a very unique jade pendant, and it contains a mysterious, independent space. With a single thought I can store things from the outside world inside it, and likewise take them out again. Now you understand, don't you?"
"There's such a thing?" Huo Yudie clapped a hand over her mouth in astonishment. She had assumed it must be some clever illusion, or perhaps that Wei Zhao carried an exquisite formation array on his person. Such things were rarely seen, but legends of the kind had always circulated among cultivators. Never had she imagined the answer would be so simple—Wei Zhao had a wondrous jade pendant!
"Mm. Strange things tend to happen around me. You'll get used to it soon enough. But remember to keep this secret—only my own people know of it." Wei Zhao chuckled.
Get used to it soon enough? Hearing Wei Zhao's airy, casual tone, Huo Yudie could only roll her eyes in speechless exasperation, not knowing what to say.
She was no novice, after all. She was a peak Nascent Soul expert, no less, and one who had spent time at a place like the Eastern Continent Academy—her breadth of experience far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. Even so, she had never heard of anything as bizarre as a jade pendant space. Yet that phrase of Wei Zhao's—"my own people"—made her heart skip a beat...
Wei Zhao smiled at Huo Yudie's expression but said nothing more.
Talking as they went, the two of them arrived at Ning Xuefei's research room. Han Jingyi was wholly absorbed in updating the intelligent analysis formula, her ten fingers flying back and forth across the keyboard. Even with Wei Zhao's eyesight, he could not precisely follow them—he could see only a blur of fingers, to say nothing of anyone else.
At this exaggerated spectacle Huo Yudie could not help covering her mouth again, her eyes brimming with admiration as she looked at Han Jingyi. This was a classic case of not understanding a thing yet being awed all the same. From their earlier dealings she had taken Han Jingyi for a cute, innocent girl whose own strength was nothing special. But now, seeing this, the girl was plainly a genius—and sure enough, wonders filled every corner around Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao and Huo Yudie waited quietly to one side. Updating the intelligent analysis formula was clearly beyond his help; it all depended on Han Jingyi herself. Ning Xuefei, who had picked up a little of this over the past two years of exposure, assisted her on the side, while Shangguan Lan'er and little Curly Bear were purely there for show.
About an hour passed in this fashion. Suddenly Han Jingyi stopped, wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, and gave Wei Zhao a sweet smile. "Brother Wei Zhao, you can refine seventh-grade pills now."
"Done already?" Wei Zhao was overjoyed. The intelligent analysis formula could well be called the pinnacle of mortal-world technology; he had assumed Han Jingyi would need several hard days at least. To think it was finished in a single hour—the efficiency was truly astonishing.
"Heehee, Jingjing actually figured out how to upgrade this formula a long time ago. It was just that I never got to see Brother Wei Zhao. So now Jingjing only had to recite it from memory—very convenient." Han Jingyi smiled. (To be continued..)
