"—What did he want these stones for?"
Zheng Qing was rather curious about the Wandering Wizard's purpose.
Rat Immortal gave him a strange look.
"Obviously, he wanted to use them to gain insight into an opportunity for Legend and seize the chance to go a step further."
That was a perfectly legitimate reason, with nothing to hide. "—After these 'Legendary remnants' were purified by the array constructed by Mister Ruo Yu and the other Legends, they became incomparably clear and could be called 'Dao Seeds.' To Wizards like us who have already entered the realm of Legend, these stones are merely somewhat unusual magic materials, practically useless. Yet for Wizards who have not entered the Grand Wizard realm, or who have only recently entered it, these stones are extremely dangerous..."
As he spoke, he seemed to casually glance at Jiang Yu and Su Shijun, then deliberately added, "...Every Legend has their own 'Dao.' Even if Mister Ruo Yu purified Mister Black Robe's spirit and obsessions, it would be difficult to erase his 'Dao traces'... Those traces are the foundation of these 'stones' existence, as well as the source of their value... If Low-level Wizards come into contact with the Dao traces of Legends too early, they can easily stray from their own path and embark upon someone else's 'Dao'..."
The professor had said the same thing to Zheng Qing.
Madam Shi Hui had told Zheng Qing that as well.
He remembered it clearly.
Naturally, he would not allow the two witches beside him to go astray because of this—he had fed the Black Gems he gave them both to the two Ketu Branch Spears. Zheng Qing was not worried about the paths of the two women, so he only needed to focus on strengthening their "treasures that protected the Dao."
