護花近衛 - 第4140章 六品聚嬰金丹 - 翰墨軒

To break through to the Golden Core was a grave matter, admitting not the slightest distraction; even with two such beauties before him, Wei Zhao at this moment saw them as though they were not there at all.

Both were also assailing the Golden Core realm, both were also achieving a perfect breakthrough; the process Tian Chan and Xue Li had to undergo was exactly the same as Wei Zhao's own before. By their original foundations they should not have been capable of such a thing, but fortunately they had Wei Zhao, their cheat.

Though Wei Zhao could not directly raise the two of them to the early Golden Core stage, in this arduous breakthrough he could shoulder the greater part of the pressure for them.

What Wei Zhao had to do was not merely guide the vast true qi erupting from the golden cores for the two women and shield the meridians within their bodies; he must also use his elixir fire to refine the power of the stars for them, and his spiritual sense to gather the power of the great sea.

In other words, every one of the most difficult stages in the Golden Core breakthrough Wei Zhao took wholly upon himself for Tian Chan and Xue Li, and the only thing left for them to do was to concentrate on condensing their golden cores within their dantians.

Another two days flashed by. When at last he saw Wei Zhao emerge from seclusion again, Di Xingdao, who had been keeping watch at the Tian Dan Pavilion all along, hurried to greet him—only to find that this fellow Wei Zhao, without a word, went first thing to the rooms of Tian Chan and Xue Li and fetched a set of clothes for each of them.

Afterward, watching the two women walk out of the seclusion chamber blushing and somewhat embarrassed, Di Xingdao could not help but twist his mouth into a peculiar grimace. He said to Wei Zhao with a laugh: "Brother Wei Zhao, this blessing of yours—two beauties at once—is enough to make any man die of envy! I thought you'd dragged them off in such a tearing hurry for some urgent business, and even had the Tian Dan Pavilion shut its doors for the day. Little did I expect that you, brother, were a man of such amorous inclinations!"

"Uh... Brother Tian, you're really overthinking this..." Wei Zhao was speechless for a moment. He pointed at the two women and said: "Can't you see the change in them?"

"Change?" Di Xingdao was startled at the words. When he looked again at Tian Chan and Xue Li, all trace of jest was gone from his eyes, and they went wide with utter shock: "G-Golden Core... early stage? How is that possible?"

Just three short days ago, both women had been no more than tender novices of the early Foundation Establishment stage; yet three days on, they were now, like Wei Zhao, genuine experts of the early Golden Core stage.

What was more, Di Xingdao faintly sensed from the two women a certain unusual aura. Faint though it was beside Wei Zhao's, it was unmistakably of the same kind—which meant that both women had likewise achieved the perfect breakthrough and were among the strongest Golden Core experts!

Such a thing was simply unheard of, unseen in all his experience; even with all his wide learning, Di Xingdao was so astonished that he nearly bit his own tongue and for a long while could not utter a word.

"Brother Wei Zhao, is this all your doing? Three top-tier Golden Core experts at one stroke?" Only after a long while did Di Xingdao recover himself somewhat, and he asked, eyes and mouth agape.

Though the miracle had fallen upon Tian Chan and Xue Li, Di Xingdao could have worked it out with his toes that it was absolutely Wei Zhao's handiwork; otherwise, relying on the two women alone, there was no such possibility whatsoever.

"No help for it. If I don't raise their strength, I can never rest easy," Wei Zhao said with a faint smile.

"Brother, you're out to defy heaven itself!" In the end Di Xingdao managed to squeeze out only this one sentence.
