Everything fell completely silent. The two God Tier Consolidating Equipment Masters who had jumped over to the other side of the table returned to their seats, slumping exhaustedly into them while closing their eyes. Their chests silently rose and fell as they breathed deeply. Clearly, they were completely exhausted as well.
Zhou Weiqing had an absolutely ear-splitting headache right now. He watched as the dark-golden scroll atop the yellow rosewood table slowly floated up into the air, filled with a strange aura. Only then did he finally let out a sigh of relief… and then collapsed into Shangguan Bing’er’s embrace.
In all of recorded history, there had never been a God Tier Consolidating Equipment Master who was merely twenty or so years of age, much less someone who was able to create a God Tier Consolidating Scroll the way Zhou Weiqing just did. However, he had succeeded. He had truly succeeded.
Shangguan Bing’er half-carried the fainted Zhou Weiqing over to a nearby chair, helping him sit down. The Saint Energy in his body remained as full and abundant as either, and it was even able to maintain his false ‘five-Jeweled stage’. As a result, she knew that her man was fine. He was simply mentally drained to the point where his body could no longer take it, causing him to lapse into slumber.
After roughly the time needed for half a stick of incense to burn down, the other two God Tier Consolidating Equipment Masters slowly opened their eyes. The first thing they did was to turn and stare at the scroll hovering above the wooden table.
The woman slowly rose to her feet. She was extremely tall, half a head taller than even Shangguan Bing’er. She slowly reached out with her right hand, causing the scroll to drift into it and then unfurl.
She lowered her head to stare at the complicated, abstruse sketches and runes covering the scroll, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of being mesmerized by what she saw. The old man was standing next to her, staring carefully as well.
“This is, without question, a true and genuine God Tier Consolidating Equipment Scroll. It isn’t a Pseudo-God Tier Consolidating Equipment Scroll.” The old man quickly came to this conclusion after just a few glances.
The young woman nodded. “He cannot be simply described as a ‘genius’. He’s a freak of nature, an absolute monster, a genius without peer.” She turned, her gaze falling upon the face of the still-fainted Zhou Weiqing.
Shangguan Bing’er had already wiped the blood off of Zhou Weiqing’s face, and he continued to slumber deeply in her embrace.
Shangguan Bing’er lifted her head up and glanced at them. Rather puzzled, she asked, “What’s a Pseudo-God Tier Consolidating Equipment Scroll?”
The woman blinked. “He didn’t tell you?”
Shangguan Bing’er shook his head. “I’m not a Consolidating Equipment Master, and I never disturb him with such questions.”
Chapter 242: Breaking Through (1)
The woman explained, “Pseudo-God Tier Consolidating Scrolls are also a lower ranked type of God Tier scrolls. Previously, we would thought that no matter how talented or outstanding he was, he would at most be able to create a Pseudo-God Tier Consolidating Scroll. Even so, his future prospects would definitely be superior to ours, given how young he is.”
Shangguan Bing’er laughed coolly. “Aren’t you young as well?”
The woman blinked, then slowly shook her head. A strange look flickered through her eyes. “No. I’m different from him. Anyway, Pseudo-God Tier Consolidating Scrolls will only appear when used to create the first few pieces of a legendary set, and even Zong Stage Consolidating Equipment Masters stand a chance at creating them. This is because each piece of a legendary set is more powerful than the last. If the very first piece of a legendary set is a true God Tier Consolidating Scroll, then the total number of pieces in the set will have to be dramatically lessened. Thus, the first three or four pieces of most legendary sets are usually formed from Pseudo- God Tier Consolidating Scrolls.”
Shangguan Bing’er now understood. “So that’s how it works.”
The woman picked up Zhou Weiqing’s completed scroll. “I can tell that this should be part of a legendary set, but it definitely isn’t just a Pseudo-God Tier Consolidating Scroll. It has to be either the sixth or seventh piece of a legendary set. Considering the fact that he is at the five-Jeweled level, the sixth piece seems more likely.”
If Zhou Weiqing was conscious, he would definitely let out a sigh of admiration for the accuracy of her guesses and her judgment. Although she wasn’t correct on all the underlying facts, she had actually managed to come to the correct conclusion thanks to her keen judgment. This scroll was in fact the sixth piece of his own ‘Hate Ground No Handle’ Legendary Set, which could only help further confirm the fact that Zhou Weiqing had a five-Jeweled cultivation base.
The way in which both the woman and the old man viewed Zhou Weiqing had completely changed. Shangguan Bing’er could now see a degree of esteem in their gazes, the esteem owed to an expert.
“Please take him over to the room next door to recuperate. We can speak after he wakes up.” The woman walked over to Shangguan Bing’er while speaking, handing the scroll for the sixth piece of the Hate Ground No Handle set to her.
Shangguan Bing’er stared at her, rather astonished. “Don’t you want it? You provided the materials, after all.”
The woman smiled slightly, and the majesty of her smile caused even Shangguan Bing’er to feel momentarily inferior. Shangguan Bing’er was just as physically attractive as this woman, but she lacked the woman’s self-confidence. The woman’s aura emanated a type of absolute self-confidence. Even after encountering a genius like Zhou Weiqing, her confidence in herself hadn’t been lessened in the slightest.
“Our XuanTian Palace isn’t that stingy. These materials are nothing more than a first meeting gift to Master Zhou.”
Shangguan Bing’er naturally wouldn’t refuse, and so she immediately took the scroll and nodded at the woman. Suddenly, she felt as though the way in which the woman was staring at Zhou Weiqing seemed a bit peculiar.
“After he wakes up, please tell him that my name is Dreamwake. They all call me Master Dreamwake. This person is Master Nie Han.” After speaking, she turned and exited the wooden room. As for the old man named Nie Han, he followed her and departed as well.
“Dreamwake?” Shangguan Bing’er repeated this name a few times. Clearly, this young female God Tier Consolidated Equipment Master was using a pseudonym.
The nearby wooden room was laid out just as simply as the last one. It had a table, two chairs, and a slender wooden bed. However, if you took a closer look you would discover that all of these things were actually constructed out of yellow rosewood. The entire room was filled with the faint, delicate floral scent of yellow rosewood and sandalwood.
Shangguan Bing’er carefully laid Zhou Weiqing onto the bed, but before she even had a chance to sit down, a large and strong arm snaked around her waist, pulling her down into a warm embrace.
“You woke up?” Shangguan Bing’er said, surprised and delighted.
Zhou Weiqing didn’t open his eyes, but he tightly pressed Shangguan Bing’er’s soft body against himself. He sent via voice transference, “I would never dare to slumber for too long in a place like this. What’s the situation?”
Shangguan Bing’er sent back, “You already passed their test. They gave us the scroll as well.”
Zhou Weiqing said, “Excellent. I’ll rest for a bit longer then.” He had forced himself to wake up by suppressing the aching pain in his head, precisely because he was afraid that there might have been trouble. Now that he knew that they were safe for now, he finally relaxed and allowed himself go back to sleep.
