Chapter 2503 — Another Spirit Beast Inner Core
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
The Heaven Rank cultivator drew a deep breath, carefully accepting the small bottle from Wei Zhao's hand. He opened it, and instantly delight lit up his face! Yes—he could feel the powerful water-attribute energy contained within the little bottle!
This was exactly what he had dreamed of for so long. His hands trembled with excitement—he had finally found it! With this, he could alter the attributes of divine weapons and sharp blades!
Suppressing the urge to snatch it outright, the Heaven Rank cultivator carefully sealed the cap and set it upon the tea table. "Since you have laid out your conditions, I shall speak plainly in return. My goods are all here. You may take any single item, along with the blood of the earth-attribute Heaven Rank spirit beast!"
So saying, the Heaven Rank cultivator opened a bundle and placed it before Wei Zhao; the small bottle containing the earth-attribute Heaven Rank spirit beast's blood was among them! It was not that the Heaven Rank cultivator did not wish to seize Wei Zhao's belongings—rather, the very purpose of the cultivators' market was to guarantee fair and just trade. If anything went wrong, the Cultivators' Merchant Guild would certainly investigate and hold him accountable. Though he was a Heaven Rank expert, the Guild still had even more formidable Heaven Rank experts within its ranks!
Moreover, the thing he had sought for years had at last appeared, and he had no desire to invite complications. The earth-attribute Heaven Rank spirit beast's blood was, in any case, of little use to him—a taste of chicken ribs, no more. Trading it away was trading it away.
In truth, even had he wished to seize it, Wei Zhao would not have feared him. Wei Zhao had dared to come, so naturally he was confident of withdrawing unscathed.
"A spirit beast inner core?" Wei Zhao looked with some astonishment at the round, gleaming bead among the Heaven Rank expert's bundle. "How surprising," he said.
"Oh? You want this thing?" The Heaven Rank cultivator glanced at Wei Zhao, somewhat taken aback, then said, "That is the inner core of that earth-attribute Heaven Rank spirit beast. When I found it, it had just been slain by a rival spirit beast. I collected a bottle of its blood, and took out its inner core along the way."
"So you only collected one bottle of blood? What about the rest?" Wei Zhao asked with some regret.
"By the time that rival spirit beast killed it, its blood had nearly run dry. I barely managed to collect a small bottle." The Heaven Rank cultivator cast Wei Zhao a glance and smiled bitterly. "Or do you think I would not have brought back more? Besides, there was nothing else special on its body..."
"I see." Wei Zhao nodded. "Then I will take this inner core and that bottle of earth-attribute Heaven Rank spirit beast's blood."
"Good—a deal!" the Heaven Rank cultivator agreed readily. The inner core was equally useless to him.
"Good." Wei Zhao picked up the small bottle and the inner core, and rose to his feet together with Han Xiaohu. "Since the trade is complete, we shall be going!"
"I won't see you out." The Heaven Rank cultivator nodded, then impatiently picked up the bottle of turtle-saliva ice crystals Wei Zhao had traded him and began studying it with unconcealed eagerness.
Wei Zhao smiled, left the room with Han Xiaohu, and headed toward where their own room was located...
"Boss, you traded for this to give to... that cold little girl?" Han Xiaohu was rather surprised by Wei Zhao's conduct, not quite understanding why he would do such a thing.
"Mm." Wei Zhao nodded. "He wants this thing to cure someone else's illness... And besides..."
At this point, Wei Zhao's heart suddenly skipped a beat! Yang Qiqi was seeking medicine to cure Little Nine—Little Nine? A certain person came to Wei Zhao's mind!
