Chapter 3494 — Opening the Stone Door of the Ancient Tomb
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But Wei Zhao seemed not to have noticed anything, so Wang Xinyan hastily concealed her feelings and went with Han Jingyi to accustom herself to the strength of peak late Heaven-rank great perfection.
Wei Zhao took the Heavenly Thunder Pig and headed for Zhang Lifeng's ancient tomb. In the past he had always brought Yu Xiaoke along, but this time it was only Wei Zhao alone, which weighed somewhat heavily on his mood.
This was already the umpteenth time Wei Zhao had come to the ancient tomb. Aside from a somewhat heavy heart, he knew the way well, and went straight to the stone door at the farthest depths of the ancient tomb.
Beside the stone door, Wei Zhao found the line of annotation from last time.
"The Heavenly Dao Golden Core simplified pill formula: a peak late Heaven-rank expert and a Profound-rank first-grade alchemist may open this door. Zhang Lifeng."
Peak late Heaven-rank strength—he had already reached it. But a Profound-rank first-grade alchemist?
Wei Zhao did not know whether the separator between the two meant "or" or "and." Written as it was, it was somewhat ambiguous.
But on reflection, he was already a cultivator with a five-element, seven-attribute constitution, and all five elemental attributes were true attributes, forming an attribute cycle within his body—he already met the conditions of an alchemist!
It was only that an alchemist's mental art was rather intricate, and Wei Zhao had no time to test and cultivate it. Moreover, with Han Jingyi as his automatic divine-farmer pill cauldron, there was all the less need for him to study an alchemist's mental art.
Still, now that he had Han Jingyi's pill cauldron, he ought to count as a top-grade alchemist, no? Even if his stamina true qi was insufficient to refine a Profound-rank first-grade pill, his grade should still suffice.
Thinking this, Wei Zhao reached out and pushed at the great door.
With that push, the door did not budge in the slightest. Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback, then thought of the stone door inside the Xuanyuan Cave Residence.
A stone door was a dead thing; though Wei Zhao's strength had reached the mark, he could hardly tell the door so in words. So Wei Zhao had to demonstrate his strength and let the stone door assess him.
This ancient tomb's door was likely the same.
Wei Zhao hastily circulated the Xuanyuan Dragon Taming Art, laying bare the full extent of his peak late Heaven-rank great perfection strength.
Yet the door still gave no response! Did he also need to demonstrate an alchemist's strength? Wei Zhao had no choice but to kindle his pill fire a little—but before he had done much at all, merely a small kindling, the stone door began to emit a "clack-clack" sound. Then the stone door slowly opened. The room was a sealed chamber, and once it opened, at the center of the room stood a stone platform, upon which rested a small box of antique charm. Beyond that, nothing else existed.
It seemed the chamber's primary function was to store this one pill formula.
Wei Zhao stood for a moment at the chamber's entrance first, and finding no warning whatsoever from the jade pendant space, he drew a deep breath before stepping into the chamber! (To be continued.)
