Chapter 3469 — A Thousand Miles to Deliver the Pill
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Kang Jingming had refined it through ceaseless experimentation and study, and fortunately, with the guidance of Patriarch Xuanchen and Patriarch Xuanzhen, he had finally managed to produce a single Extreme Qi Gathering Pill, working day and night without rest!
"Is that so? You've already refined it? Then bring it over for me!" Wei Zhao had not expected Kang Jingming to be so forthcoming; he had assumed he would have to go pick it up himself!
"Sure thing—I'll be over in the next couple of days to find you! The villa in Donghai City, right? I'll go there!" Kang Jingming said.
"Come on over. Considering your help in refining the pill, I'll let bygones be bygones." Wei Zhao said. "But you'd better hurry—I'm already at the peak of the mid Heaven Rank, almost maxed out. If you don't come soon, it'll be of no use to me at all!"
"Ah! All right then, I'll set off tonight—wait for me!" Kang Jingming said hastily. For anyone else, leveling up might be an uncertain thing, but Wei Zhao was different—with him, leveling up could happen just like that, with no rhyme or reason, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. So Kang Jingming really was afraid that Wei Zhao would level up, and then Wei Zhao would no longer take the Extreme Qi Gathering Pill but would give it to one of his underlings instead—and if by some chance it killed the underling, wouldn't Wei Zhao come looking for him to settle the score?
So this pill absolutely had to be eaten by Wei Zhao! Only if it killed Wei Zhao would the matter be settled once and for all! At this thought, Kang Jingming dared not delay; he decided to set off at once, without a moment to lose!
After hanging up, Wei Zhao grew even more suspicious. The more he thought about it, the more something felt off. This was not Kang Jingming's character at all—the man was sinister and vicious. When had he ever been so considerate of others? Even if he did refine the pill for Wei Zhao, he would surely have made Wei Zhao come fetch it, then tried to set some trap for him along the way. But this time he was surprisingly forthcoming.
Yet no matter how Wei Zhao turned it over in his mind, he could not figure out the reason. If Kang Jingming really did deliver the Qi Gathering Pill tomorrow, then Wei Zhao truly could not see where Kang Jingming would have any room to pull a trick.
The night passed without incident. Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan slept in each other's arms; this faint, gentle warmth made Wei Zhao feel very much at ease. Wang Xinyan's condition was also stabilizing—it seemed the energy stone really was effective. Only, it would be even better if Wang Xinyan could cultivate!
He had set out last night and arrived this morning—that was quite some speed. It looked like he had been traveling all night without sleep!
"Great Lin, good morning!" Kang Jingming greeted Wei Zhao warmly. "I've brought you the pill. See here—does this mean you won't hold me responsible anymore? Let's just call last time's misunderstanding water under the bridge, shall we?"
"The pill—take it out and let me have a look first!" Wei Zhao held out his hand.
"Here it is!" Kang Jingming drew a small wooden box from his bosom and handed it to Wei Zhao. "The quality might not be the best—you know my skill level. Being able to refine it to this extent is already quite good. It may be slightly different from those top-grade Qi Gathering Pills."
Kang Jingming said this deliberately, to plant the idea in Wei Zhao's mind beforehand, so that even if he later discovered that the Extreme Qi Gathering Pill was somewhat different from an ordinary Qi Gathering Pill, he would attribute it to Kang Jingming's refining skill and technique.
