Chapter 2977 — Zhao Qiwu Presents His Treasures
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"That, no." Zhao Qiwu shook his head. "Breaking through a major rank barrier is different from ordinary circumstances. For example, at the peak of the late Earth Rank, even if you took three Qi-Gathering Pills, after breaking through you would still be at the early Heaven Rank. When a major-rank cultivation base hasn't yet stabilized, taking pills is useless—the meridians and dantian haven't adapted to the new major rank and can't refine so much medicinal power, so taking them is simply waste."
"So that's how it is." Zhao Qilei sounded a little disappointed. "But even so, the leader's pill problem is solved. What remains is repairing his dantian and meridians."
"Yes, this is all I can help with. Young Master Tan, my abilities are limited—repairing Leader Wei Zhao's dantian and meridians will have to be something you figure out yourself. I'm a nobody in the Ice Palace; if not for Sister Xiaoxiao, I wouldn't even have gotten these pills!" Zhao Qiwu said.
He was a man who understood how things stood, knowing who had given him everything he had today, and he had not lost himself—so offering these pills to Wei Zhao did not pain him in the least.
"By the way, Old Master Zhao wrote you a family letter." Zhao Qilei had already changed how he addressed Old Master Zhao, because he felt such a man no longer deserved to be called his grandfather.
Zhao Qiwu knew what had happened to Zhao Qilei, and he naturally thought little of Old Master Zhao. Taking the letter from Zhao Qilei's hand, he glanced through it roughly, then tossed it aside with a sneer. "Young Master Tan, how do you want me to reply?"
"We've already fallen out. When I go back this time, I'm going straight to join Leader Wei Zhao. A reply? Reply my ass!" Zhao Qilei laughed. "I just respect your choice and wanted to know whether you plan to stay hidden in the Zhao family and work your way to a post like Old Bi's."
"I've already said it—I'm not an ambitious man. My choice is to follow you, Young Master Tan. As for Old Master Zhao, he's your enemy, and that makes him my enemy too." Zhao Qiwu said.
Zhao Qilei patted Zhao Qiwu's shoulder with satisfaction. Though he had long been certain Zhao Qiwu would never betray him, hearing the man say it himself still made him very happy. "Heh, your choice is the right one. I think following Leader Wei Zhao has far more prospects than following the Zhao family. Leader Wei Zhao's followers are already spread throughout the Ancient Plane. Old Master Zhao's vision is far too limited—I don't know what goes on in that head of his. Following Wei Zhao, the hidden Zhao family could become far more than just the hidden Zhao family!"
"In the future, Young Master Tan, you could found an Ancient Zhao family of your own," Zhao Qiwu said with a nod.
"That's still rather far off. We'll see what the leader thinks first." Zhao Qilei said with a smile. "By the way, will you two be able to see Sister Xiaoxiao?"
