Chapter 698 (1/2)

The woman replied, “A Pseudo God Tier Consolidated Equipment Scroll is still a God Tier Consolidated Equipment Scroll. At first, we thought that regardless of how talented and excellent he is, he’ll only be able to make a pseudo scroll at best. Even then, his achievements in the future might surpass us as he is still young.”

Shangguan Bing’er gave an indifferent laugh. “Aren’t you just as young?”

For a moment, the woman was slightly taken aback. She then shook her head gently. A strange brilliance flashed in her eyes. “No. I’m different from him.”

“Pseudo scrolls usually only appear in the first few pieces of Legendary Sets. That’s the reason why a Zong Tier Consolidating Equipment Master has a chance at successfully creating such a scroll as well. Every Legendary Set has to be stronger than the previous one. If the first Legendary Set assembly component is a true God Tier Consolidated Equipment Scroll, then the number of assembly components needed for the following set will be greatly reduced. That’s why, in general, the first three or four scrolls are usually all Pseudo God Tier Consolidated Equipment Scrolls.”

Shangguan Bing’er suddenly said, “So, that’s it.”

The woman picked up the scroll made by Zhou Weiqing as she said, “I can see that this is also a part of a Legendary Set. Since it’s not a Pseudo God Tier Consolidated Equipment Scroll, this should be the sixth or the seventh piece of the Legendary Set. Seeing as he’s only at the Fifth Jewel cultivation base, there is a higher possibility of it being the sixth piece.”

If Zhou Weiqing was still awake, he would have been amazed by the woman’s conjecture and observations. Although she had guessed in the wrong direction, with the help of her observations, somehow she managed to guess correctly. This was really the sixth piece of the Ringless Ground Purging Set. He was also one step closer to understanding the Fifth Jewel cultivation base.

At this point, when both the woman and the old man looked at Zhou Weiqing, their expressions had completely changed. Shangguan Bing’er could see a hint of respect in their eyes. It was the kind of respect that was usually reserved for powerhouses.

“Please take him to the next room to rest. Everything else can wait until he wakes up,” the woman said as she walked to Shangguan Bing’er and handed the sixth Ringless Ground Purging Set to her.

Shangguan Bing’er looked surprised. “You don’t want it? It’s made from the materials that you provided after all.”

The woman smiled a little. Her majestic aura and dignified manner made Shangguan Bing’er feel inferior. Shangguan Bing’er definitely did not lose out in terms of appearance. What she lacked was self-confidence. The woman carried herself with poise and had the air of absolute self-confidence. Even in the face of Zhou Weiqing’s astounding talent, her confidence in herself had not decreased one bit.

“There’s no need for the Mysterious Heavenly Palace to be so stingy. You can consider those materials as a gift from us to Master Zhou for our first meeting.”

Shangguan Bing’er nodded. Naturally, she did not hesitate as she accepted the scroll. It was also at this moment that Shangguan Bing’er noticed the woman had begun to see Zhou Weiqing in a different light.

“I’ll have to trouble you to tell him when he wakes up. My name is Meng Xing. People call me Master Meng Xing. This here is Master Nie Han.” After that, she turned around and walked out of the cottage as the old man followed suit.

“Meng Xing?” Shangguan Bing’er repeated her name. It was evident that the female God Tier Master was using an alias.

The cottage next door was equally as simple. It had a table, two chairs, and a wooden bed that was not too wide. However, if one were to take a closer look, they would find that the furniture was all made from yellow rosewood and there was a faint fragrance of yellow rosewood throughout the room.

Shangguan Bing’er carefully placed Zhou Weiqing on the wooden bed. Before she even had the time to properly sit, a powerful hand was placed on her delicate body as it pulled her into a warm embrace.

“You’re awake?” Shangguan Bing’er was surprised.

Zhou Weiqing did not open his eyes. He softly said to Shangguan Bing’er as he embraced her soft and lovely body. “I wouldn’t dare to sleep too long in a place like this. What’s the situation like?”

Shangguan Bing’er replied, “You’ve passed the test. The scroll has also been given to us.”

Zhou Weiqing then said, “That’s good. I’m going to rest for a while.” Out of fear that he might be in danger, Zhou Weiqing had forced himself awake despite his splitting headache. After he had confirmed their safety, he felt relieved and quickly fell asleep.

The consumption of Spiritual Energy this time was really too great. However, it had been beneficial to Zhou Weiqing. There was a smile on his face even as he slept. The fact that he had been stuck at a bottleneck in his Saint Energy cultivation had been haunting him for months. However, he had broken through to the next tier the instant he completed the God Tier Consolidated Equipment Scroll.

Due to Zhou Weiqing’s complete control, the other three people in the cottage did not notice anything amiss. The truth was there had been an earth-shaking change in Zhou Weiqing’s body.
