Chapter 727
As Qingyu recorded the information of himself and his companions into the system, the final of the Psychic Master Tournament also came to an end.
Amidst the very supportive cheers of the audience, Lance, as the host, temporarily acted as the award presenter to hold the award ceremony for the winner.
"Congratulations, Teacher Yu, I also look forward to your better performance on the world stage in the future."
Lance smiled and clapped, sent a trophy that was a bit mini and could be grabbed with one hand, and at the same time mysteriously took out a small bottle from the inner pocket of his trench coat.
"This is the prize prepared for the champion by the Johto region as the host."
Qingyu nodded, and after taking the two prizes he handed over with both hands, he held up the glass bottle that was clearly unusual, level with his line of sight.
Inside were many strange powders that emitted golden light and still shone brightly even in the backlight.
"This is..."
Qingyu's pupils shrank, and a bold idea was born instantly.
"Sacred Ash?"
"... Teacher Yu actually knows?"
Lance blinked, revealing a look of surprise, but after thinking for a while, he nodded in relief.
"That's true, after all, Teacher Yu seems to have a side job as a mythologist, aspiring to popularize the charm of legendary Pokémon to all mankind; it's not strange to know some information about Ho-Oh."
"By the way, if Teacher Yu needs help when you publish the Kanto and Johto series in the future, you can contact me at any time."
"... Definitely, definitely."
Being told this by Lance, Qingyu suddenly felt a bit sweaty.
The subtext of Lance's words was already very obvious:
Update quickly, I can't sleep at night!
Why does it feel like I'm being urged to update wherever I go? This kind of offline real-life behavior is not advisable!
The small talk with Lance soon stopped; while Hu Tao continued to render the atmosphere and talked endlessly on the commentary desk, Qingyu's gaze was already subconsciously attracted by the Sacred Ash in his hand.
【Sacred Ash: When Ho-Oh's sacred fire burns out, there is a probability of ash containing rich life breath appearing, which is regarded as a symbol of God by the monks of the Burned Tower.】
Sacred Ash is a very rare and extremely difficult-to-obtain special item in the game.
Although the effect is just a large Revive, it has the powerful ability to instantly revive all Pokémon in the team to full health, but as a one-time item, its presence is indeed not very high.
However, setting aside the functions in the game, Sacred Ash is actually a material with quite a high status.
Because it is said to be the product of Ho-Oh's sacred fire burning out, containing powerful life breath from a legendary Pokémon.
For trainers, it is naturally a rare treasure; perhaps it can even revive companions who are in life-threatening danger at critical moments.
It's almost equivalent to having an extra resurrection coin.
Of course, if it were the "Rainbow Wing" with a stronger effect and directly from Ho-Oh's tail, it would be better.
It's just a pity it can't be exchanged.
After all, it has been a full 150 years since Ho-Oh disappeared from the Burned Tower; under the vicissitudes of life, I guess the entire Indigo League couldn't take it out, so Sacred Ash is already the highest-spec prize.
Qingyu nodded and put the small bottle together with the trophy into his pocket.
At this point, his first international tournament trip was successfully completed.
Just as Qingyu was about to leave, a very neat exclamation suddenly erupted from the auditorium.
Qingyu was a bit puzzled by this, so he subconsciously looked up, and only then discovered the reason for people's surprise.
On the big screen, a short old man with white hair and beard but bright eyes appeared.
"Look, it's Chairman Goodshow!"
"Wow, I didn't expect the Attribute Master Tournament to have easter eggs?"
"It should be related to the rumor that 'there will be explosive news after the Psychic Master Tournament ends' that the media mentioned before, right?"
"It seems to be related to a brand new tournament? I hope it's not fake news..."
