Chapter 2102 — The Inner Core of the Spirit Beast Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Is that so!" Wei Zhao nodded. He planned, once he got back, to leaf through Zhang Lifeng's notes on the insights of an alchemist when he had the time; there were many pill formulas in there. Wei Zhao had not even learned to refine pills before, so naturally he had had no interest in studying those formulas, but with time he could take a look—whether a spirit beast's essence inner core was really used in pill refinement.
Wei Zhao, Han Tianba, and Han Xiaohu went back to rest, but the other hidden families' ancestors and sect masters, after returning, turned right around and came back; at that moment they were all seated in the council hall of the Hidden Zhao Family!
"Let's hear it, everyone—are we just going to let today's business go?" The most unwilling of all was the Zhao Family's Old Master; as the host, he had reaped no benefit at all, and had even been fleeced by Wei Zhao over a five-hundred-year peppermint flower.
"And what else can we do? Send a thief to steal the things back?" Old Master Tang was equally glum. He too had been a loser today, though not as miserably as the Zhao Family.
"Sooner or later Wei Zhao is going to die—it's only a matter of these next few days!" Old Master You said mildly. "Isn't that right, Sect Master Wo?"
"Quite right!" The Qianshan Sect's Sect Master Wo nodded. "There's no friendship between me and that Wei Zhao; today was nothing but a fair trade. Rest assured, the three of you—I will do exactly as I said!"
Sect Master Wo's promise made Old Master Zhao and Old Master Tang feel much better. If Wei Zhao died, that would at least vent their anger!
"What's past is past—let it be. What worries me now is the remaining matches!" It was Old Master Pi who spoke. Wei Zhao's two straight victories had left him rather unable to sit still.
"The remaining matches—Wei Zhao may not necessarily win, surely?" Old Master Zhuang was full of confidence. "Take this two-person arena match, for instance. Wei Zhao may be formidable, but one man alone won't do; someone has to partner with him and go up together!"
