Chapter 3052 — Wei Zhao's Rules
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Oh? So the Fire Burn Mountain inheritor was also arranged by the Five Luminaries Sect?" Wei Zhao was taken aback for a moment. He had guessed before that the hidden Yu family might be backed by either the Five Luminaries Sect or the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect—and now it turned out to really be the Five Luminaries Sect!
"It must have been Xuanchen or Little One. They've been overseeing it all along. But why do you ask? Oh, right—you said Fire Burn Cloud helped you deal with Little One. Are you afraid Fire Burn Mountain will face retaliation?" Bai Lingtou paused, then said, "The Five Luminaries Sect wouldn't dare offend Fire Burn Mountain. Fire Burn Mountain is powerful in its own right. The inheritance is a joint training arrangement, but if you truly push Fire Burn Mountain too far, it would be next to impossible for Xuanchen to cultivate a fire-element inheritor of his own!"
"So that's how it is. But it's not retaliation from Old Ancestor Xuanchen that worries me," Wei Zhao shook his head and said. "Little One doesn't even know Fire Burn Cloud's identity or background—Fire Burn Cloud never introduced himself—so he probably just took him for one of my underlings. What I want to ask is: has Fire Burn Mountain found its inheritor?"
"That I know even less about. You'd be better off asking Fire Burn Cloud directly," Bai Lingtou said.
"All right, I'll ask him, then." Now that Wei Zhao knew Xuanchen was behind this, he decided to leave it be for the time being. After all, Shen Yushu's parents wouldn't be in any real danger until she fully accepted the inheritance, and Wei Zhao wasn't yet capable of razing the Five Luminaries Sect. That debt would be settled with them sooner or later, and Little Shu would be part of it—new scores and old would simply be tallied together. "Teacher Bai, I have a formula here. The herbs on it are rather rare—could you check whether you have any on hand?"
"Oh? Let's hear it," Bai Lingtou said.
"Yellow Essence, White Wormwood, Netherworld Grass, Red Witherwood..." Wei Zhao was listing the herbs used in the third layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon Taming Art to reinforce the meridians. Old Man Wei had only a small portion of these on hand and none of the rest. Wei Zhao didn't dare substitute them at random and could only plan to search for them gradually.
"I don't have any of those. They're all uncommon herbs. If you're not in a hurry, I have seeds—I could grow them for you. But it's winter now, so we couldn't sow until spring next year. The cycle would be rather long," Bai Lingtou said.
"That won't do—it's too long!" Wei Zhao gave a wry smile. "I need them urgently!" (To be continued)
