Chapter 4858 — Those Are Seven Words
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Which was only natural. All their cultivation resources were personally prepared by the East Sea Divine Nun; they never had to worry about such things themselves. Moreover, the East Sea Divine Nun's school emphasized cultivating the heart, self-transcendence and self-breakthrough, so apart from the necessary breakthrough aids, they rarely relied on external items.
Once the auction ended, Wei Zhao did not go to the Hong Merchant Guild; instead he accompanied Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao back to Morning Star Academy. He now lived at the East Sea Pavilion—the East Sea Divine Nun herself had made the offer, and of course he had jumped at it.
But before they could leave Morning Star Tower No. 1, Lu Dachang came scurrying up behind them, wagging like a happy dog. He could not wait to hand the Nurturing Essence Magic Gold Grass to Wei Zhao, then showered him with one "Grandmaster" after another, a whole string of flattery, before finally departing with great, satisfied guffaws.
"The man's conduct is outrageous and rascally—an Opening-Mountain-stage titan who carries himself with the manner and cunning of a small-time operator. Still, you have to admit he's quite a character," Wei Zhao said with an involuntary smile, watching Lu Dachang's receding back.
Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao covered their mouths and laughed. Only Wei Zhao could handle such a rascally titan with a few words; anyone else would have been nursing a headache—Bao Wuliang was a case in point.
The three returned to the East Sea Pavilion. After dinner together, the two women went off to join the East Sea Divine Nun for evening lessons—morning and evening lessons were an unbreakable rule. Wei Zhao went back to his own room as well, but instead of cultivating, he took out the Ghost-Eye Carved King Wings he had won at auction that day.
"Senior, what exactly am I supposed to do with this thing you had me bid on?" Wei Zhao had thought it over for ages and still had not the faintest clue, so he had no choice but to consult Gui Dongxi.
"Heh heh, aren't you the sharp-eyed one, kid? Even you can't figure it out?" Gui Dongxi began to play coy.
"I really can't. Alchemy is definitely out, and I doubt it's any use for artifact forging either. Looks like it can only be an exhibit," Wei Zhao said, shaking his head.
"An exhibit? Heh heh, the Ghost-Eye Carved King is, after all, the top-tier enhanced form of the Ghost-Eye Golden Carved. Even a Ghost-Eye Golden Carved is a treasure from head to tail—you really think a pair of Ghost-Eye Carved King wings is good for nothing but display? I can only give you four words: you're blind as a bat!" Gui Dongxi jeered without the slightest tact.
"That's seven words..." Wei Zhao was speechless.
"Kid, do you even know what sort of being the Ghost-Eye Carved King is?" Gui Dongxi changed tack.
"Could it be the king of the Ghost-Eye Golden Carved?" Wei Zhao guessed from the name—after all, Gui Dongxi had just said it was the top-tier enhanced form of the Ghost-Eye Golden Carved.
"Wrong. The Ghost-Eye Carved King is not merely the king of the Ghost-Eye Golden Carved—it is the king of all carved-type spirit beasts. And the carved has always been the king of a hundred birds, so calling it the king of flying spirit beasts would not be an exaggeration," Gui Dongxi explained.
"That ferocious? Then what does the Vermilion Bird count as?" Wei Zhao could not help but exclaim. He had always assumed that if one were to name a king of flying spirit beasts, the Vermilion Bird would win without question.
"In terms of raw power, the Vermilion Bird could indeed trample every flying spirit beast underfoot, but it is not a true flying spirit beast. If you really trace it back to its roots, its ancestor should be fire, not a bird," Gui Dongxi said with a curl of his lip.
