Chapter 4268 — Luck Comes Knocking
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
And that was only because the vast majority of the opponent's attention had been fixed on Wei Zhao, with more than seventy percent of the pressure borne by him. Otherwise, had Huang Xiaotao been on her own, she truly could not have guaranteed she would still have the courage to strike. Any other ordinary early Golden Core expert would probably have been frightened to the ground long ago.
After confirming the gray-robed man was dead, Wei Zhao casually searched his body. Killing for treasure was common knowledge in the cultivation world, and though that had not been his original intent, now that the man was dead, Wei Zhao certainly would not mind profiting off a corpse.
This was, after all, a Nascent Soul expert; whatever fell from him at random was bound to be a rare treasure, and among it there might well be something useful to Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao.
After groping about the gray-robed man for a while, Wei Zhao discovered a cleverly designed hidden pouch within the wide cuff of his right sleeve. He tore it off and looked at what was inside, and his expression immediately shifted.
"What is it?" Huang Xiaotao thought something unexpected had happened, and asked nervously from beside him.
"Nothing much. I just suddenly realized that this fellow was actually a good man..." Wei Zhao said in an odd tone.
"Huh? He was a good man?" Huang Xiaotao was even more bewildered, and really thought they had killed the wrong person. She panicked: "Then... then what do we do? Haven't we killed a good man by mistake?"
"Not at all. If we hadn't killed him, then to us he wouldn't be any good man." Wei Zhao smiled and handed her the pouch: "Take a look."
Huang Xiaotao was utterly baffled. She took it and glanced inside, and was instantly stunned. She blurted out in disbelief: "This... this is a Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruit?"
The pouch was small, holding only a scant few heavenly treasures. It seemed these had just been gathered by the gray-robed man on this trip to the Lu Feng Forest; anything that caught his eye would naturally be no ordinary item, and any single piece drawn from that pouch was a fine thing money could not buy on the open market.
The other items Huang Xiaotao could not yet identify, but she recognized two of the fruits at a glance—they were exactly the Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruits she and Wei Zhao had once obtained together in the Hu Cai Tian Wu Mountains!
"Indeed. Just as I was getting sleepy, someone brought me a pillow. Xiaotao, would you say this thing is a good man?" Wei Zhao laughed heartily, in excellent spirits.
By value alone, the infant ginseng far surpassed the Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruit, but for Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao, the infant ginseng was of no use in the short term. What they needed most at this stage was still the Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruit.
The whole reason they had agreed to Guo Dengtao's request to come to the Lu Feng Forest had originally been to seek the Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruit; it was only because of Chu Bubai's presence that they had changed their minds at the last moment.
Wei Zhao had never imagined this trip to the Lu Feng Forest would turn out like this: no sooner had they obtained the infant ginseng than someone promptly delivered the Myriad Crossing Golden Core Fruit right into their hands. When luck came, there was truly no stopping it. (To be continued..) R752
