Chapter 4297 — How to Use Star-Ink Milk
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"So rest easy, benefactor. Besides, we're on rather good terms with the spirit beast steward in charge of this matter—he won't make trouble for us over such a trifle," the great spider said, winking meaningfully.
"Well... all right, then. I won't stand on ceremony with the two of you." Wei Zhao understood well enough now: the cultivation resources the two of them skimmed off were probably partly tribute to that steward. Otherwise, if the steward's only duty was to come collect Star-Ink Milk, what benefit would move him to work so hard spreading the word on the outside? It was all mutual benefit.
Since it would not land the great fire lion and the great spider in trouble, then this Star-Ink Milk was not to be passed up for nothing—only a fool would turn it away at the door.
That said, Wei Zhao, right there before everyone's eyes, gave a casual wave of his hand and drew every spirit jade bottle of Star-Ink Milk into the jade pendant space. To all who watched, several hundred bottles of Star-Ink Milk simply vanished into thin air before their very eyes.
The great fire lion and the great spider were silent for a long while, and the look in their eyes as they regarded Wei Zhao held plainly a few parts more awe. A technique so uncanny—even the two of them, beings at the late Nascent Soul stage, could not have managed it so flawlessly. Their benefactor was indeed unfathomable!
Yet for all their inward shock, the great fire lion and the great spider were sensible enough not to press further. Even among their own, such a technique touched upon a trump card; when Wei Zhao wished to tell them, he naturally would, and while he did not, there was no need to force it.
Gazing at the vast quantity of Star-Ink Milk in the jade pendant space, Wei Zhao was overjoyed. So long as it was not drunk like water, then never mind Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao—even counting every fair companion and loyal underling around Wei Zhao, there ought to be more than enough to spare.
This journey to the Lu Feng Forest—from the infant ginseng to the Ten-Thousand-Pass Golden Core Fruit, and now to the Star-Ink Milk—had yielded a bounty that truly surpassed all imagining. It showed plainly that accepting the mission to hunt down Wu Baoliang had been a wise move indeed. Even if he failed to catch Wu Baoliang this time, the sheer scale of these gains alone was enough to make others green with envy.
"Oh, benefactor, do you happen to know how Star-Ink Milk should be used?" the great spider asked suddenly.
"That... I really haven't looked into it carefully. Isn't it simply taken straight, as is?" Wei Zhao said, startled.
In truth, because his cultivation level had been too low, he had never even heard of Star-Ink Milk before this. He had only run into Chang Daoping's party along the way and heard that it could be used to attain the rank of the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator, and so on the spur of the moment he had followed along. As for just how Star-Ink Milk ought to be used, he knew nothing whatsoever—a complete outsider.
Of course, perfect breakthrough was perfect breakthrough. Though Wei Zhao had never touched Star-Ink Milk, he had at least used Star-Ink Stone, and he reckoned in his heart that the two could not be far apart. Basically, one simply took it together with the attempt to break through to Nascent Soul—and besides, wasn't there still that ghost thing of his?
"Taking it straight by mouth isn't impossible, but at best that method counts as a half-perfect breakthrough. Compared with a true perfect breakthrough, there's still no small gap," the great spider said, shaking his head.
"Oh? Then is there some other way—or must it be taken together with other rare heavenly treasures, or with pills?" Wei Zhao said thoughtfully. (To be continued...)
