"Mm-hm." Huang Xiaotao nodded again and again. When Xu Lingchong had made to lunge forward and yank off the covers, it had frightened her badly. Thank goodness Wei Zhao had been quick to react; otherwise her innocent body would have been exposed.
Wei Zhao set about preparing the pill refinement at once, but just as he settled into position, his gaze caught on something at the edge of his vision. He suddenly noticed that something seemed to have appeared in the corner of the room—right where Xu Lingchong had crashed into the wall a moment ago. It looked like it must have been dropped there by Xu Lingchong.
Judging by its appearance—black as an ordinary lump of stubborn stone, yet concealing something wondrous within—it looked vaguely familiar at first glance. Wei Zhao stared blankly for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurried over, picked it up, and examined it closely, whereupon he was overcome with delight.
"It really is a Star Ink Stone! Haha, Xu Lingchong has handed us a grand gift!" Once Wei Zhao had confirmed it, he could not contain his joy.
Although this Star Ink Stone had already been used up by more than half, with little of its star power and sea power left, according to Wei Zhao's previous experience it was still more than enough for one person to achieve a perfect breakthrough.
Now Huang Xiaotao could also achieve a perfect breakthrough and condense a Ten Thousand Beauties Golden Core. Wei Zhao had just been worrying over this very problem—after all, Huang Xiaotao counted as one of his own, and an ordinary breakthrough would have been a bit of a shame. Who would have thought that fool Xu Lingchong would deliver himself right to their door!
Ai, he really did not know what to say. What a great, good man—thinking of others' needs and rushing to their aid!
From Xu Lingchong to Meng Jueming and Meng Zhou, this lot had always done good deeds without leaving a trace. Every time they delivered something, it came at just the right moment, and each time the stakes grew larger. If not for his normal sexual orientation, Wei Zhao would have had to suspect these people were truly in love with him!
"Star Ink Stone? What's that?" Huang Xiaotao blinked from inside the covers.
"It's a treasure you couldn't buy with any amount of spirit jade. You'll find out soon enough!" Wei Zhao smiled, then began focusing on the pill refinement.
With his previous experience, this second refinement of a Golden Core Pill proceeded without incident, smooth sailing all the way. One Ten Thousand Crossing Golden Core Fruit, combined with the auxiliary materials Wei Zhao had left over from before, ultimately produced a top-grade Golden Core Pill. There were no extra surprises, but it was already enough.
Wei Zhao immediately had Huang Xiaotao take this freshly produced top-grade Golden Core Pill, while at the same time extracting and condensing the star power and sea power from the Star Ink Stone on the side, to safeguard her perfect breakthrough.
A perfect Golden Core breakthrough was, in the eyes of others, a shocking and world-defying feat, and helping another achieve a perfect breakthrough was even rarer. But for Wei Zhao, who had both his own firsthand breakthrough experience and had previously assisted Tianchan and Xueli, this was familiar territory.
Time flew by. Inside the cave dwelling, Huang Xiaotao wore an expression of utter disbelief, feeling the earth-shaking transformation within her body. Even though Wei Zhao had explained it all clearly to her, at this very moment she still felt it unreal, as though she were dreaming.
"I... I'm really an early-stage Golden Core expert now?" Huang Xiaotao spun around gracefully, both excited and frightened.
