Chapter 4696 — Matters of the Secular World
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Without the secular world there would be no him, and certainly no reaching his present level. Moreover, most of the confidantes he cherished most and thought of constantly were in the secular world; the young miss and the others were still waiting for him to return and heal them. So no matter what, even at the cost of everything, Wei Zhao absolutely had to return to the secular world—that was his greatest wish and goal!
"Why? Because there are rich suckers and universities there?" Huo Yudie suddenly asked, full of curiosity.
"Pfft... both, I suppose..." Wei Zhao nearly choked on her words again. Why was this girl so fixated on rich suckers? He had only mentioned it in passing at the very beginning, yet to his surprise she had latched onto it and never let go. As for universities, that too had probably been a casual remark of his that she had remembered.
But from this alone he could tell that the girl was quite interested in the secular world. She seemed much like Shangguan Lan'er—the sort who were full of fantasies and longing for the secular world.
"No wonder. That fellow Ren Zhongyuan is always buying all sorts of strange odds and ends at the Central Chamber of Commerce. He says they're all imported goods from the secular world, very handy, and apparently quite fashionable lately." At this point Huo Yudie could not help thinking of that camera.
It was a fine thing Ren Zhongyuan had paid a hefty price to obtain. When he first offered it to her, she had actually been extremely interested and had nearly accepted it on the spot. In the end, however, her loathing for the thing won out, and she had gritted her teeth and pushed the camera back. Thinking of it now, she did not regret it, though she still felt a twinge of regret.
"Mm, you could certainly put it that way." Wei Zhao nodded. If one were to name the greatest effect of the Central Chamber of Commerce's sudden emergence, it was that it had whipped up a tide of technology across Cloud Terrace Island, and this had raised the secular world's standing enormously. Nowadays, when the secular world was mentioned, at least no one would say it was utterly worthless.
As for these technological products alone, though they could not play a substantive role for cultivators the way divine weapons or pills did, many of their functions were still exceedingly practical. Even the lofty top-tier magnates of Cloud Terrace Island had to admit this; in certain respects they left even high-level cultivators far behind—the camera, for instance, or the mobile phone Wei Zhao carried.
However great one's divine powers, at most one could read another's divine sense—one could never do what a camera does, capture an image and show it to others as evidence, could one?
