Chapter 3484 — The Ice-Heart Jade-Bone Pill Is Complete!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The process was no different from before. After nearly three hours of refinement, the Great Return Pill emerged from the cauldron. This was Wei Zhao's third formal pill-refining session, and he had not expected it to be so effortless and smooth—though he owed much of that to Han Jingyi's automated Shennong Medicinal Cauldron.
"What kind of high-class thing is this? How is it so advanced?" Only after Wei Zhao finished refining did Wang Xinyan give in to her curiosity and ask.
"This is the automated Shennong Medicinal Cauldron that Han Jingyi invented. It makes intelligent pill refinement very easy," Wei Zhao explained. "Actually, all these days, Jingjing and I have been studying pill refinement whenever we weren't upgrading our cultivation."
"So that's how it was..." Wang Xinyan blushed, a little embarrassed by her earlier impure thoughts. Wei Zhao had come to do serious business—how could it be anything like what she had imagined, sneaking off to carry on with Han Jingyi? Thinking that way had been truly unkind of her!
She must not make wild guesses in the future!
"All right, now that the pills are done, I need to set off for the Ice Palace." Wei Zhao did not want to waste any time. Since the Five Luminaries Sect had already issued a notice for everyone to sign up, that meant the Heaven-Tier trial was close at hand—any day now, they might summon everyone to assemble.
"Mm, be careful, Brother Wei Zhao!" Han Jingyi said.
"Wei Zhao, you could stay a few more days. It's been so long since you've seen Feng Xiaoxiao..." Wang Xinyan said. Although she was not close to Feng Xiaoxiao—could barely even say she knew her, having only heard about her from Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu—she knew of the bond between Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao.
"Mm, it's fine. Once the Heaven-Tier trial begins, we'll all see each other again," Wei Zhao said, unconcerned. If he stayed a few more days and the Heaven-Tier trial began just like that, Wang Xinyan would not yet have qualified—and that would be no fun at all.
This time, Wei Zhao chose to ride the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast to the Ice Palace. In a single night, he arrived at the Ice-Snow Spirit Town.
Since Wei Zhao had visited this place not long ago, the scenery did not stir quite the same emotion in him as before.
Only—back then, Wei Zhao had still been a mid Heaven-Tier expert; now he had successfully broken through to the realm of Heaven-Tier Great Perfection. The difference between before and after was enough to make anyone sigh with feeling.
He had You Panhu to thank, and Kang Jingming... and Patriarch Xuanchen...
At the Ice Spirit Inn, Wei Zhao walked into the main hall and greeted Steward Li, who was sorting letters, with a smile: "Steward Li, we meet again!"
"Ah... Young Hero Wei Zhao, you've come!" Steward Li was briefly taken aback—he had not expected Wei Zhao to visit the Ice Palace again in such a short time.
"Mm, it seems Steward Li isn't surprised this time," Wei Zhao said with a laugh.
"Haha, that's because our Ice Palace has scarcely any guests the year round. Young Hero Lin's first visit caught me off guard, but a second visit—well, one gets used to it! Might I ask what business brings you to our Ice Palace this time?" Steward Li asked with a smile.
