Chapter 4882 — A Gift for Qin Chan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
What truly astonished Wei Zhao, however, was something else. From everything he had observed along the way, this Qin Chan was plainly entangled with the two male disciples of Chenxing. If her heart had always been set on Jiang Yuechuan, then why had she done such a thing?
Wei Zhao helped her up from the ground. But before he could ask, Qin Chan, her eyes already red, said, "Thank you, Master Lin. If you see Jiang Yuechuan, tell him… tell him that I, Qin Chan, have done him wrong, and that he should cultivate well and find himself another Dao companion. I…"
Before she could finish, tears were already streaming down Qin Chan's face. Choking back sobs, she turned to enter the tribulation point.
Something stirred in Wei Zhao's heart. There was clearly more to this than met the eye!
He had taken her for the same sort of woman as Situ Qian. But now it seemed that was not the case after all. Had Qin Chan truly been that kind of woman, she would never have carried such a longing for Jiang Yuechuan even after taking up with other men!
One Infant-Condensing Golden Pill, one Nurturing Origin Pill—if sold, these two would fetch no small sum. Even if Qin Chan had no use for them herself, she could have traded them away, not only for an astronomical number of spirit jades but for all manner of exceedingly useful cultivation resources. After all, in the Yellow Rank Sea Region these two pills were highly sought after, the latter in particular.
Had she not been longing for Jiang Yuechuan, Qin Chan would never have produced these two pills. For any consummate Nascent Soul expert, this was nothing short of their lifeblood.
Still, this was plainly no place to ask such things. Wei Zhao hurriedly called her back. "Wait! What do you mean by that? Have you not made any preparations at all for the tribulation?"
True, the difficulty of pushing for the Xuan Ascension stage was immense, but so long as one had a Thunder Mystic Pill, one's life at least was assured. In fact, even without a Thunder Mystic Pill, so long as one had a life-saving pill such as a seventh-grade Great Return Pill, there was little cause for worry—there was no need at all to charge in with the fatalistic attitude Qin Chan displayed.
To be honest, though fighting with one's back to the river was much admired, such a mindset was hardly a good thing when applied to a breakthrough. A breakthrough called for water flowing into a channel, not for risking everything in a desperate gamble. Once one's mind grew too taut, one only fell into inferior habits, and the slightest misstep often led to consequences beyond imagining.
"No…" Qin Chan shook her head, her expression instead growing calm. "I have no Thunder Mystic Pill, nor any spare spirit jades to buy healing or life-preserving pills. So this attempt at the Xuan Ascension stage will be either success or death."
Wei Zhao was now all the more certain of his own reasoning. The two pills in his hand might not be enough to trade for a Thunder Mystic Pill, but they were more than sufficient to exchange for a seventh-grade Great Return Pill—and it should be an easy trade at that.
After all, in the period before each Trial of the Road to the Giants, Nurturing Origin Pills were in far greater demand than Great Return Pills. Once word got out, someone would come knocking within moments; there was no need to expend any effort at all.
She could plainly have done so, yet in the end she still chose to risk her life and leave them to Jiang Yuechuan. After all, to an ordinary consummate Nascent Soul expert, the value of one Nurturing Origin Pill plus one Infant-Condensing Golden Pill was all but infinite.
Wei Zhao was silent for a moment. Then he drew a deep breath and took out a Thunder Mystic Pill, handing it to Qin Chan.
