Chapter 2207 — Wu Chengtian's Surprise
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
No one had spoken of it for so long that Wu Chengtian had nearly forgotten such elixir existed. But now, hearing Wei Zhao mention it so suddenly, all those old memories came rushing back at once.
"I do—and not just one bottle, several," Wei Zhao said. "I'll fetch them for you in a moment."
"Several bottles?" Wu Chengtian was all the more astonished. "Boss, the Pi Clan generally won't sell this elixir at all—you could say a single bottle is worth a thousand in gold and still unattainable. And you have several?"
"What's so strange about that? I got even the Hidden You Clan's Small Qi-Gathering Pills—a little body-tempering elixir from the Hidden Pi Clan is hardly beyond me," Wei Zhao said. "Is this stuff useful to you?"
"Useful isn't the word—it's profoundly useful!" Wu Chengtian nodded and spoke with solemn conviction. "With this body-tempering elixir, the speed of my external cultivation will more than double, and both my strength and the toughness of my iron palms will improve as well."
"Oh, then use it. If you run short, I'll get you more," Wei Zhao said.
"Gah?!" Wu Chengtian's jaw dropped at Wei Zhao's words. That he could obtain even these few bottles already seemed to him an immense stroke of fortune—and if he ran short, he could simply ask for more? The Hidden Pi Clan might possess a good supply of this body-tempering elixir, but surely they wouldn't hand it out for nothing?
"Oh, I forgot to tell you—Pi Zhifeng and Pi Zhitao of the Hidden Pi Clan are my followers too. They're still in their trial period at present, but once they pass, they'll be your juniors as well," Wei Zhao said.
"Pff—cough, cough!" Wu Chengtian nearly choked in fright at Wei Zhao's words. "What? Pi Zhifeng and Pi Zhitao—my juniors?"
"They pledged themselves to me later, so naturally they rank below you—just as you rank as the junior compared to Ergoudan, Kang**, and Fatty Lai," Wei Zhao said.
"Good heavens—the two heirs of the Hidden Pi Clan, juniors to me, Wu Chengtian?" Never had Wu Chengtian imagined he would one day amount to so much! Pi Zhifeng and Pi Zhitao had become Wei Zhao's followers too? Then it was only fitting that they address Wu Chengtian as "Brother"—and they were still in their trial period, their acceptance by Wei Zhao depending entirely on their performance.
Such a thing Wu Chengtian would never have dared imagine in the past. Had it been the old days, meeting Pi Zhifeng and Pi Zhitao, he would surely have fawned and flattered with the utmost deference. But now, he must strike a certain posture!
Simple enough: he was now Wei Zhao's full-fledged follower, a veteran in the eyes of Pi Zhifeng and Pi Zhitao—and he must not lose face for Wei Zhao!
He wondered what Grandfather would think once he learned this news? Wu Chengtian felt an excitement rising in him that he could not suppress...
