Chapter 2333 — Too Much Talk
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Uh..." Wei Zhao was taken aback. Uncle Qing's case was hardly a matter of breaking to build anew—he had cultivated the inner family only because he had no other choice. Still, the principle was the same.
"Wait—young friend Wu Chengtian, you say you couldn't before? You couldn't cultivate the outer family before, and later you could?" Old Master Pi had caught a detail in Wu Chengtian's words and pressed him eagerly.
"That..." Wu Chengtian looked toward Wei Zhao.
"Yes, I upgraded him," Wei Zhao said with a nod.
"Pff—cough, cough, cough..." Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Old Master Pi was so startled that he burst into violent coughing. "Master Lin... you... what did you say?"
Even Pi Zhitao, silent over there until now, was drawn by Wei Zhao's words; his eyes went wide and he stared this way in disbelief.
"Wu Chengtian's inner-family strength—I helped raise it," Wei Zhao said. "But the limit of what I can raise at present is the peak of the late Profound Rank. Beyond that, you will have to rely on Minor Qi-Gathering Elixirs to break through."
"Boss, I beg you, help me upgrade too! Never mind the peak of the late Profound Rank—just raise me to the early Yellow Rank, and I can take more Spirit-Gathering Pills, Spirit-Gathering Elixirs, and Minor Qi-Gathering Elixirs and rise from there!" Pi Zhitao abruptly darted before Wei Zhao and bowed deeply.
Pi Zhitao was a martial fanatic; nothing mattered more to him than the pursuit of martial arts. To master both the inner and outer paths—that had long been his dream!
So when Pi Zhitao heard that Wei Zhao could upgrade people, and had Wu Chengtian as living proof, this time he willingly acknowledged Wei Zhao as his boss. If Wei Zhao could help him upgrade and fulfill his long-held dream of mastering both inner and outer paths, he would naturally not let slip such a heaven-sent opportunity.
"Heh heh..." Wei Zhao laughed. This Pi Zhitao really was a martial fanatic—Wei Zhao had saved his life, yet he had not been half so excited; hearing that he could be upgraded, he was thrilled beyond measure. At the thought, Wei Zhao could not help shaking his head. "What are you taking so many elixirs for? Isn't that a waste? If you have spares, give me a few!"
"Heh heh..." Pi Zhitao scratched his head. "If I really can be raised to the peak of the late Profound Rank, then a single Minor Qi-Gathering Elixir will be enough to break through to the Earth Rank. The rest of the elixirs—all of them go to you, Boss."
"You brat, have you no thought for your uncle and your grandfather!" Pi Zhifeng smiled bitterly at once. "At least leave one each for the two of us!"
"Zhishan! Watch your tongue, don't be so greedy!" Hearing Pi Zhifeng's words, Old Master Pi frowned at once and gave him a kick. Did he think his family were great benefactors? They had merely helped Wei Zhao rescue Wang Xinyan once; Wei Zhao healing Pi Zhitao's injuries already counted as repaying that favor. If he could upgrade Pi Zhitao, that would truly be an enormous额外 bounty—and here Pi Zhifeng was pressing his luck, wanting the whole family to master both inner and outer paths? How could that be? Even the Divine Fist Hall had no such vast corps of inner-and-outer cultivators!
Pi Zhifeng started and realized he had said too much. Thinking it over, it made sense—it was already good enough that Wei Zhao would upgrade Pi Zhitao; how could he possibly upgrade the whole family?
