The Second Collective Pearl Condenses Form Chapter Thirty-Five: Additional Inlays on the Scroll

  "Hey kid, can you count or what?" Hu Yan Ao Bo said as soon as they met, leaving Zhou Wei Qing stunned. "Teacher Hu Yan, you've gotten even fatter, how could I possibly count that?" Zhou Wei Qing asked curiously, looking at the still rotund Hu Yan Ao Bo in front of him.

  Two years have passed, and Feng Yu's appearance has not changed much, still the same as before. However, Hu Yan Ao Bo has clearly aged a few years, with more white hair on his head, and he is also sporting three large black eye sockets.

  Feng Yu said from the side, "What he means is that your arrival is really too coincidental. He just finished making this additional scroll, and you little brat came running over. Isn't it suspicious?"

  Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said, "Is this a Condensing Scroll prepared for me? Master Huyan, I've had my second Body Jewel for a long time now, but I've been waiting for your instructions to condense it."

  Huyan Ao Bo raised his hand and pulled Zhou Weiqing into the small courtyard, Feng Yu closed the door behind them. "Let's go in first before talking."

  Zhou Weiqing followed the two to Huyan Aobo's workshop, where he saw a messy room with papers and some unfamiliar objects scattered all over the place, which should be used for making Condensing Scrolls.

  Zhou Weiqing looked at Huyan Aobo's mysterious and slightly smug face, puzzled, "Teacher, you're already a master of Condensing Shapes, why are you so tense about creating this Condensing Shape Scroll?"

  "Hmph, you don't understand anything. The condensed scroll I made is not ordinary. Look." As he spoke, he raised his hand and a small metal piece, about the size of a fingernail, appeared in his palm.

  At first glance, this round metal piece seemed like nothing, but when Zhou Weiqing took a closer look, he couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air.

  On this metal piece, which was only the size of a fingernail, there were many fine lines that seemed to have some sort of rule. On top of these lines, small gems were inlaid, including starlight rubies, golden green cat's eyes, and even black attribute Tian Zhu Shi's exclusive Yi Zhu, Black Ou Bo gemstones, as well as other things that Zhou Weiqing was not very familiar with.

  On this small metal piece, there are hundreds of tiny gems, and they are arranged in a special way. Zhou Weiqing can vaguely feel that on this small metal piece, there seems to be a special energy fluctuation forming a more special cycle. Not to mention the value of this thing, just this craftsmanship is enough to shock people. "Teacher, what is this exquisite thing used for?" Zhou Weiqing looked up at Huo Yuhao and asked.

  Hu Yan Ao Bo puffed out his chest and said with great pride: "This thing is called an additional inlaid scroll. Don't look at its small size, its value is incredibly huge, and it's priceless. A single additional inlaid scroll at any auction house will not have a starting price of less than one million gold coins. The three sets of condensed scrolls you saw last time are not worth as much as this little thing. The cost of this thing alone is 200,000 gold coins, and I spent two years to finally complete it. The wasted materials are also worth tens of thousands of gold coins."

  Zhou Weiqing curiously said: "It seems different from the Solidifying Scroll you gave us last time!"

  "Hmph, you ignorant kid, of course it's different. Because it's not a Condensed Form Scroll. Additional Inlay, get it? It means that you can add an inlaid hole to your already condensed weapon."

  "Take your Dominant Bow for example, originally it only had one inlay hole, so you could only inlay one Mind Orb. With this, you can add another inlay hole, directly inlaying two Mind Orbs. At that time, when you're using ?? dynamic attack, you can release the skills imprinted on both Mind Orbs at the same time, and the effect doesn't need to be said by me. For someone like you with so many Mind Orb attributes, having two inlay holes is especially important, its value is at least ten times higher than one inlay hole."

  "Then why didn't you make it with two inlaid holes when you were making the Condensing Scroll?"

  Hualian Ao Bo's eyes were complex as he looked at him, saying: "Do you think I don't want to? It's just that I'm not at that level. To create two inlaid holes on a condensed scroll, one must be at least a Master-level Condensed Form Master, which means the Condensed Form Master himself must be a Heavenly Jewel Master. I'm not capable of it, but I hope you can reach that step in the future. Every piece of work by a Master-level Condensed Form Master can be described as half-Godly Artifact, do you think it's easy to obtain? Here, take this and add it to your Overlord Bow." As he spoke, Hualian Ao Bo had already handed over the additional inlaid scroll to Zhou Weiqing.

  Zhou Weiqing was taken aback. "Teacher, I really can't accept this. It's too valuable." Although he had always thought that it was only natural for a disciple to take advantage of their teacher, the added inlaid scroll in front of him was too precious. Not to mention its value of over a million gold coins, just the fact that Huyan Aobo had spent two years of his life to refine it was enough to demonstrate its worth.

  "Are you still not getting it, stupid? This thing was specifically made for you. Otherwise, do you think I'd waste my energy on this? Anyway, since I couldn't become a Grandmaster, making some ordinary Condensing Scrolls isn't much easier?" Huo Yuhao said with annoyance. Zhou Weiqing's eyes widened "Teacher, are you saying that...this thing was made specifically for me?"

  Hu Yan Ao Bo nodded and said, "Since I've asked you to temporarily not condense other body pearls, I should give you some life-saving abilities. That Overlord... 5... As long as this inlaid hole is added, it's not that it can be compared to the half-God equipment refined by that Zong Shi-level master, but it's almost the same. Unfortunately, I really don't have the energy to refine another scroll like this, otherwise, if there were three inlaid holes, hum."

  Taking a deep breath, Zhou Weiqing's eyes suddenly became determined. With a thud, he knelt down in front of Huyan Aobo, his hands hanging down, carefully taking the additional embedded scroll from Huyan Aobo's hand. In a low voice, he said: "I, Zhou Weiqing, swear with my life pearl that this life and this world, no matter what price I pay, will definitely become a Shaper above the Master level, fulfilling Teacher Huyan's wish. If I break this oath, may heaven and earth destroy me."

  I'm San Shao's wife, sorry, tonight's update is only 2,000 characters. He started burning up this morning and refused to take medicine because it was his birthday. His fever went over 40 degrees before he finally took the medicine. He lay in bed all day, with a maximum temperature of 43 degrees. After taking the medicine and sweating a bit, he felt better in the afternoon. He's still dizzy from the fever but told me to update at 5 pm. I just saw many book friends wishing San Shao a happy birthday, so I'm thanking everyone on his behalf. Seeing him like this really breaks my heart - today is his 30th birthday! Sorry, I'm not in a good mood. If possible, I hope everyone can silently pray with me for him to get better soon? It's been seven years since I've seen him write every day. His body used to be very strong, but now it's especially weak. My mom is accompanying Sugar Sugar, and I'll go accompany him.

  On his behalf, I'd like to apologize for not being able to update more today. Also on his behalf, thank you, seeing so many well-wishes in the comments section made me feel a lot better. Thank you all. When he recovers, I really want him to write less, sorry about that, blame me if you must...... Sorry, sorry.
