Chapter 2780 — The Method of Inheritance
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Oh, a friend of mine. I was merely curious." It was not that White Leader did not trust Xuanzhen, but that he did not want to expose too much about Wei Zhao. "So it seems the first method is the only practical one?"
"It would appear so." The Ancestor Xuanzhen nodded. "Rest easy, Eldest Senior Brother. Be patient a while, and leave the rest to me."
"All right. Let's be in touch, then. Once you've finished copying it out, just call me," White Leader said.
After hanging up, White Leader immediately called Wei Zhao and relayed the Ancestor Xuanzhen's words to him.
Wei Zhao was momentarily stunned. Dual cultivation with an inheritor?
"What does he mean by dual cultivation?" Wei Zhao admitted that his own thoughts had turned somewhat wicked. Though dual cultivation came in many varieties—what Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden did could also be called dual cultivation—in most novels, dual cultivation meant cultivating together in bed...
"I didn't ask about that either. Since he said the inheritor must be a virgin, then dual cultivation must mean... you know," White Leader said.
"Uh... all right." Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. His little wife ought to be an inheritor; if he dual cultivated with Feng Xiaoxiao, could that fill in one of his illusory attributes and turn it real? But the Ice Palace required Feng Xiaoxiao to preserve her chastity, which contradicted dual cultivation. For a moment Wei Zhao did not know how to choose. "Still, having me dual cultivate with seven inheritors is a bit too unrealistic, isn't it?"
"It is indeed unrealistic, which is why I lean toward the first method. But we must wait for the opportunity—wait for my junior brother Xuanzhen to copy the method out and send it back," White Leader said. "He is currently constrained by Xuanchen and can scarcely touch the Five Luminaries Sect's core secrets. Xuanchen is also working on the matter of inheritors, but Xuanzhen knows little about these things, and I know even less."
"Then if it were dual cultivation, how would it be done?" Wei Zhao asked.
"I didn't ask about that in detail. If you're interested, I'll go and ask," White Leader said.
"All right. In any case, knowing more can't hurt," Wei Zhao said with a nod.
After hanging up, Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. White Leader's news could be counted as good news, and yet it amounted to nothing at all. Dual cultivation with inheritors was hardly realistic for Wei Zhao. Even if Feng Xiaoxiao was an inheritor, how long would he have to wait to gather the other six?
And even if he gathered them all, would they dual cultivate with him? Feng Xiaoxiao certainly would not object, but what about the others? Wei Zhao had no wish to do anything that coerced others. And even if he wanted to coerce them, would they be so easily coerced?
Behind every inheritor stood an ancient power; coercion was even less of an option for Wei Zhao.
Shaking his head, Wei Zhao set these thoughts aside for the moment and pinned his hopes on the first method of source-power inheritance that the Ancestor Xuanzhen had described.
Though the first method might be very troublesome, it was also the only one Wei Zhao could actually carry out. As for the Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Forging Pill, he no longer needed to take it—when he was small, the old man had fed him many pills for prolonging life and expelling toxins, which were no different in effect from the Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Forging Pill. That left only the other preparations. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.) to cast
