Chapter 3630 — An Unintentional Feud
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At present, everything needed to refine a Heavenly Dao Golden Pill was ready except for the crucial final ingredient. Once he obtained the Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass, everything would be in place!
Besides refining the Heavenly Dao Golden Pill to increase his strength, Wei Zhao had another urgent task: earning spirit jade as quickly as possible. That Star Ink Stone could be bought by someone else at any moment. The safest course was to gather a thousand spirit jades within a month and purchase it on the next inner-street open day. Otherwise, the longer he waited, the more unforeseen complications might arise.
Still, the matter of trading good jade for waste jade had to be planned with great care. If he tried it recklessly beforehand, he might well invite trouble he had never anticipated.
The moment Meng Zhou spotted Wei Zhao in the distance, he could not wait to call out, "Well, well, if it isn't our grandstanding newcomer. You only took a day off, and your chest tightness is already gone?"
"Junior Brother Wei Zhao, if your chest feels tight, I suggest you take a few more days off!" Meng Jueming put on an understanding smile and chuckled from the side. "I won't make any promises about anything else, but I can still approve a few days of leave for you. After all, you're the top newcomer of our Qingyun Pavilion. If failing to dig up good jade leaves you so depressed that you develop a mental illness, then I, your senior brother, would bear a terrible sin. Don't you agree?"
Wei Zhao glanced at the two of them, a teasing curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Thank you for your consideration, Senior Brother Meng. But after resting for a day yesterday, I've adjusted my luck and accumulated quite a bit of good karma. Maybe I'll have a breakthrough today!"
Pfft—!
Meng Jueming and Meng Zhou burst out laughing at once. Adjust his luck? Accumulate good karma? So this idiot really was an absolute moron, to be able to spout such brainless nonsense. There truly was no limit to his stupidity!
"Ha ha, what an incredible ability! No wonder Junior Brother Wei Zhao is a genius who managed to distinguish himself in the mortal world! Then go on and dig. Give us a demonstration of your sudden burst of power today. I promise I'll organize every newcomer in Qingyun Pavilion to come watch and learn from you. We'll be waiting with bated breath!" Meng Jueming and Meng Zhou howled with laughter, nearly laughing themselves breathless. To think they had once treated this idiot as a formidable enemy! Looking back, they must have been blind as dogs!
Aside from being lucky, Wei Zhao truly had nothing going for him! But heh, I, Meng Jueming, am known as the Terminator of Luck. Just wait and see!
"Heh... Then I look forward to it." Wei Zhao turned and entered Mining Tunnel Ten.
Six hours passed in a flash, and it was time to turn in the day's work. Meng Jueming had gathered a group of newcomers at the entrance long ago. Since this idiot Wei Zhao had volunteered to make a fool of himself and was practically begging to be humiliated, why would they stop him? Naturally, they had to cooperate with all their might!
As usual, Wei Zhao was the last to appear. The first thing Meng Jueming said when he saw him was, "Come on, let's give our top newcomer a round of applause and have him show us exactly how he plans to unleash his power today!"
The newcomers immediately dissolved into laughter, each of them enthusiastically applauding in perfect cooperation. Their commotion attracted not only the people gathered there, but also several others who had not yet left. Even the guards kept turning their heads in this direction despite themselves.
