Chapter 2132 — What Does That Mean? Of course, this too is Wei Zhao's conjecture; whether the Limit Vitality Golden Pill can actually realize Wei Zhao's vision remains to be verified.

"What do you want? I want that Limit Vitality Golden Pill in your hand!" Wei Zhao glanced at Tang Yuyi and asked.

The hidden Tang family had pills too? That rather surprised Wei Zhao. It seemed the hidden Tang family had deep foundations indeed!

It was no wonder the hidden Tang family had pills. Having thrown in their lot with the hidden You family and the Mystic Pill Sect, they naturally enjoyed more advantages than other hidden clans. This Limit Vitality Golden Pill had been given to them by the hidden You family; the fact that they could put it up as a wager showed the hidden Tang family did not think much of it. There must be plenty of the stuff!

"Since Brother Lin wants it, then naturally it is yours." Tang Yuyi smiled. "That Lesser Restoration Pill in Brother Lin's hand—might you give it to me?"

"Oh, take it!" Wei Zhao was rather speechless. The hidden You family—every match they wagered Lesser Restoration Pills, Meridian-Opening Pills, Foundation-Establishing Pills, and the like. Clearly they did not want to give Wei Zhao anything good; they were trying to disgust him!

Yet Wei Zhao's action left Elder You of the You family somewhat stunned! Wei Zhao had actually traded a Lesser Restoration Pill for a Limit Vitality Golden Pill? Was Wei Zhao sick? The materials for the Limit Vitality Golden Pill and the Lesser Restoration Pill were about equal in value, but the Lesser Restoration Pill was a Yellow Rank second-grade pill, while the Limit Vitality Golden Pill was a Yellow Rank first-grade pill. The two were not comparable in value at all. Was there something wrong with Wei Zhao? Trading a second-grade pill for a first-grade pill?

To say Wei Zhao needed pills made no sense either. Who would be so wasteful, trading second-grade for first-grade? If he wanted to trade, he would use something else! And besides, Wei Zhao was an alchemist—he could refine pills himself. There was no need for him to trade at all! So Wei Zhao's behavior left everyone utterly baffled!

This first-grade pill, the Limit Vitality Golden Pill, was something Elder You had specifically asked Elder Tang to put up as a wager, precisely so that after Wei Zhao won, it would disgust him. Had Wei Zhao not been unwilling to take pills as wagers? Then their side would insist on giving him pills!

Of course, using a first-grade pill as a wager was in fact somewhat against the spirit of the hidden clan summit's rules. Though the grade of wagers had never been explicitly stated, everyone's wagers were roughly comparable. To single-handedly put up a wager inferior to everyone else's—was that not rather unreasonable?

Yet this time, oddly enough, no one objected, because everyone had watched Wei Zhao win so many matches in a row that they had long since assumed the victor would be Wei Zhao alone! This arena tournament had originally been arranged for the Yu family to win, with the Golden Bell Sect and the other hidden clans throwing their matches.

But with Wei Zhao taking part, no one threw their matches anymore, because whether they did or not, Wei Zhao would win anyway. Better to compete with true strength!

As for the hidden Yu family's wager, Wei Zhao could not be bothered with it—merely an ordinary jade pillow for assisting cultivation, which allowed a cultivator to consolidate their cultivation realm even in deep sleep. Plainly speaking, it was an auxiliary item, and in a place where the spiritual qi of heaven and earth was so sparse, its effect was negligible. A bottom-tier item!

And Wei Zhao entered the jade pendant space to cultivate every day. What use could he possibly have for such a pillow? Besides, if the Yu family had brought it out, how good could it be?

Having made his exchange with Tang Yuyi, Wei Zhao prepared to leave with his wager. Han Tianba and Han Xiaopo followed behind Wei Zhao, and the three of them left the trial grounds, leaving behind only a crowd of elders and sect masters staring at one another in astonishment!

"This Wei Zhao—trading a second-grade pill for a first-grade pill. What does that mean?" Once Wei Zhao had gone, Elder You finally could not hold back and asked. This had been the question in his heart, pent up for quite a while.

"Who knows?" Elder Tang was also somewhat puzzled; he too found Wei Zhao's behavior baffling. "Yuyi, do you know?"

"Me?" Tang Yuyi shook his head with a bitter smile. "To be honest, I only proposed the exchange on the off chance. I never expected Brother Wei Zhao to agree at all, yet he did agree, which surprised even me..."

"Then that is truly strange. Could it be that Wei Zhao urgently needs this Limit Vitality Golden Pill?" Elder You of the You family said in wonder. "But can he not refine it himself?"

"Grandfather... I think it may have to do with Sister Tang Yun... Perhaps Brother Wei Zhao, for Sister Tang Yun's sake, took the initiative to let our family exchange for something good?" Tang Yuyi said after a moment's hesitation.

"Is that so?" Elder Tang was startled, but then shook his head. "Because of Tang Yun? Then why in the earlier matches did he not go easy on us... I see. Yuyi, perhaps it is because of you! In any match where you appeared, Wei Zhao looked upon our family with special favor... but when you did not appear, he treated us all the same..."

"So that is how it is..." Tang Yuyi smiled bitterly. Though he had suspected as much, he always felt that Wei Zhao did not seem especially close to him—at the very least, Wei Zhao had not spoken a single superfluous word to him.

"Enough, who cares what Wei Zhao is thinking!" Elder You frowned. "Elder Tang, could it be that you wish to mend relations with that Wei Zhao?"

"That is naturally impossible..." Elder Tang said hastily. "We are all in the same camp now. I merely wanted Yuyi to make use of Wei Zhao and swindle a few good things out of him!"

"That is more like it!" Elder You nodded. "All right, everyone disperse. I am leaving—I need to go back and study tomorrow's matches..."

Wei Zhao had expended no small amount of true qi and naturally needed to go back and recover. Though Wei Zhao's prestige had already been established, it was ultimately not very safe here. If these people were to attack him in a concerted effort, or if Jin Gangzuan alone were to lose his reason and fight Wei Zhao to the death, Wei Zhao would have no ability to cope.

So the best plan was to beat a retreat. Wei Zhao would return to his temporary lodging first and talk later!

"Boss, we actually took first place again! Tomorrow's two-person arena challenge—I am both nervous and excited. Boss, you do not think I will cause you trouble, do you?" As soon as Han Xiaopo returned to the temporary lodging, he asked, gushing on and on.

"You will not. We will talk about this tomorrow. I am tired and need to rest a while!" As Wei Zhao spoke, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began circulating the second layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, rapidly recovering the true qi within his body!

"All right, Boss, rest well!" Han Xiaopo nodded hastily and said.

The night passed without a word, and in the blink of an eye came the final day of the summit! The two-person arena challenge was the last match of this hidden clan summit, and it was said that after this match ended, there would be an additional exhibition match, though the specific details had not yet been announced. Even with the hidden Han family's information channels, nothing could be discovered.

Wei Zhao had fully restored his stamina to peak condition and finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time he need not fear Jin Gangzuan making trouble.
