Chapter 132 Sun Zhangtian's Fate

As Zhong Cai narrated, Sang Yunchu picked up her teacup, took a sip, and moistened her throat.

Zhong Cai looked at Sang Yunchu with bright eyes.

Sang Yunchu chuckled softly, "So, Cai'er would like to ask her teacher to make a trip."

Zhong Cai chuckled, scratched his head, and said, "It's not that I absolutely have to ask Master to go in person, but I really need Master to find a way. I really can't go, and I'm afraid someone will beat me to it, so I have no choice but to ask Master for help!"

Sang Yunchu didn't inquire how the junior disciple knew the news. He simply raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I suppose your little Daoist partner has gone to Senior Brother Jiang's place now."

Zhong Cai nodded and said, "Old Wu has gone, but we'll also ask Master Jiang to find a solution."

Sang Yunchu stirred the tea leaves with the cup lid and slowly said, "Nine-Bend City is a second-level city in the Ninth State. Nearby is the Nine-Bend Mountain Range, where the most powerful beasts are of the eighth rank. I can go there, but it would be more appropriate to ask Senior Brother Jiang to go with me."

Zhong Cai murmured, "Eighth rank..." He hesitated, "Master, let's forget about the eighth rank for now, it's too dangerous. Let's ask Master Jiang to help us get it after he passes away?"

Sang Yunchu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "With your wealth, Master, you do have a few things that can save your life, so Cai'er doesn't need to worry."

Zhong Cai was still somewhat hesitant.

He certainly believed his master was wealthy; if his master could build a mansion with mystic stones, he must have some level eight life-saving items, maybe even level nine! However, neither of his masters had reached level eight, so even with all the defenses, there was still a chance something might happen!

Sang Yunchu remained calm and casually said, "Children don't need to think too much. With your Master Jiang's strength, even if he encounters an eighth-tier savage beast, he can easily escape."

Zhong Cai was immediately stunned: "Wow? Master Jiang is that amazing?"

Sang Yunchu said, "Although eighth-tier rare beasts are powerful, they are intelligent and can naturally see that Senior Brother Jiang has an extraordinary background. They are just taking some things and will not come out to obstruct you. Eighth-tier savage beasts are not intelligent and are not as agile as rare beasts. Their methods mostly rely on brute force, so Senior Brother Jiang can kill them even if they are of a higher level."

Zhong Cai: "Wow, you're really that amazing! Master, you know so much!"

Sang Yunchu chuckled: "Senior Brother Jiang is the face of Canglong now, with many achievements, so his reputation is widespread. Not only do I know him, but every academy instructor has also witnessed his abilities."

Zhong Cai asked curiously, "Could it be... that Master Jiang has publicly killed an eighth-tier savage beast?"

Sang Yunchu shook his head slightly, but also said a little: "It's just bringing back the eighth-tier savage beasts that we hunted."

Zhong Cai's eyes brightened even more.

Sang Yunchu lightly tapped Zhong Cai's head, feigning annoyance, and said, "How can you show such an admiring expression towards other mentors in front of your teacher?"

Zhong Cai wasn't scared at all, and said with a grin, "Old Wu's master is amazing, I'm happy!"

Sang Yunchu chuckled and tapped him again with her finger.

Zhong Cai felt no pain at all, which showed that his master hadn't used any strength at all.

After exchanging a few jokes, the master and apprentice got down to business.

Sang Yunchu said, "Draw the route for me. I will go with Senior Brother Jiang and we will definitely return safely."

Zhong Cai looked up and saw that her master was indeed calm and composed, without any sign of worry. After thinking about it for a moment, she felt relieved.

Yes, he should trust his master.

With Master's wisdom, he certainly wouldn't do anything too forced.

After all, even if someone else takes it, Master can still use his superb alchemy skills! It's just a cultivation technique; with Master's intervention, it shouldn't be impossible to get it back.

·

The master and apprentice chatted for a while while drinking tea.

Zhong Cai asked, "Master, have you been to the Ninth Province before?"

Sang Yunchu replied, "We have exchanged ideas on alchemy."

Zhong Cai looked at Sang Yunchu with curiosity.

Sang Yunchu was amused by his little look and said, "There is a lot of exchange between the states. The Ninth State is not far from the Fifteenth State, and the exchanges between alchemists have never stopped. When I was a sixth-level alchemist, I once went to the Thousand Herbs Sect in the Ninth State with several other senior brothers and sisters from the academy to attend a meeting. We also traveled around the Ninth State for a while and collected many rare herbs unique to the Ninth State."

Zhong Cai's eyes widened, and she pressed for an answer: "Qiancao Sect? Is it a sect of alchemists?"

Sang Yunchu nodded slightly: "The largest alchemy sect in the Ninth State has eighth-level alchemists."

Zhong Cai asked in bewilderment, "The highest... is only level eight?"

Sang Yunchu chuckled: "To become a ninth-level alchemist, one must be at least a Nirvana Realm cultivator, possess exceptional alchemist talent, and undergo rigorous training. Such alchemists are naturally very rare."

Zhong Cai quietly asked, "So, how many level nine alchemists are there on our continent?"

Sang Yunchu held up two fingers.

Zhong Cai was stunned: "There are only two!"

Sang Yunchu laughed and said, "There are only fourteen Venerable Tongtian, so two level nine alchemists are enough."

Zhong Cai took a deep breath, her curiosity growing, and tentatively asked, "Is there... Senior Dan Zun?"

Sang Yunchu shook his head and said, "No."

Zhong Cai gasped.

Sang Yunchu said calmly, "On my Flying Star Continent, there are two level nine alchemists, one is an ordinary alchemist and the other is an extraordinary alchemist."

Zhong Cai was extremely shocked.

So even the most skilled can only refine mid-grade level nine pills?!

But soon, Zhong Cai recovered and said, "It's alright, Master will definitely become a Pill Master in the future."

Sang Yunchu smiled: "Cai'er has such confidence in her teacher?"

Zhong Cai replied decisively, "Of course!"

·

This is no lie.

My master has already earned the title of Half-Step Pill Emperor even though he is only at the Spirit Transformation Realm. He can also refine more than 20 kinds of Grade 7 top-grade pills. It can be seen that he not only has outstanding talent, but also has very high self-expectations!

It is conceivable that after Master becomes an eighth-level alchemist, he will definitely be able to refine many top-grade pills.

With such a solid foundation, Master will be no exception at level nine.

·

Sang Yunchu smiled, raised her hand and patted Zhong Cai's head again, and said softly, "Cai'er, you must also work hard."

Zhong Cai was very confident in herself, and now that she was very close to her master, she said softly but firmly, "Master, I want to become a Pill Master in the future!"

Sang Yunchu's eyes brightened slightly, and his eyebrows and eyes relaxed naturally, clearly showing his great pleasure.

He said, "Okay, I believe in Cai'er."

Zhong Cai chuckled again.

Sang Yunchu's smile became even more loving.

He was growing increasingly fond of this young disciple; he was just his type.

Many young alchemists, even those with good talent and skill, lack such spirit.

No wonder he waited so many years before finally agreeing to accept his beloved disciple into his fold.

·

On the other side.

Wu Shaogan arrived at Jiang Chongguang's mountain and entered Jiang Chongguang's cave.

Instead of throwing punches everywhere, Jiang Chongguang was holding a jar of wine and chugging it down his throat.

The aroma of the wine was extremely strong, permeating the entire cave.

Jiang Chongguang poured the entire jar down his throat without a change in expression—as if he were drinking water to quench his thirst, not wine.

Wu Shaogan greeted him, "Master."

Jiang Chongguang was off guard with Wu Shaogan. He only noticed him when he heard him speak. He turned around, grabbed another jar of wine, and threw it over.

Wu Shaogan caught it.

The jar was sealed tightly, and no aroma of wine leaked out.

But he had seen quite a few good things, and judging from the quality of the jar, it was filled with wine of at least grade five or higher.

Wu Shaogan calmly replied, "The level is too high; this disciple cannot drink it."

Jiang Chongguang yawned and casually said, "Then let's save it for now, and drink it whenever we want."

Wu Shaogan put it away and then walked over and sat down next to Jiang Chongguang.

Jiang Chongguang casually tossed the empty jar aside and asked, "What is it?"

Wu Shaogan asked directly, "Master, can you kill an eighth-tier savage beast?"

Jiang Chongguang readily agreed, "No problem!"

Wu Shaogan didn't stand on ceremony with his master and directly told him about receiving the news and his desire to find a follow-up cultivation method for A Cai.

Jiang Chongguang remained as generous as ever: "No problem! Just let me know whenever you need to go."

Wu Shaogan smiled slightly: "Thank you, Master."

Jiang Chongguang waved his hand and changed the subject.

"You're currently busy accumulating the energy of the Heavenly Yang. Do you have enough money? If not, just say so!"

Wu Shao chuckled dryly, "This disciple has enough."

Jiang Chongguang didn't mince words: "Alright then."

Wu Shaogan asked about several of the secret techniques he had in mind.

Jiang Chongguang explained it to him as usual.

Wu Shaogan always understands things quickly and doesn't require Jiang Chongguang to spend too much time explaining, making him a perfect disciple for him.

Jiang Chongguang would occasionally demonstrate a thing or two, which gave Wu Shaogan a lot of inspiration.

The master and apprentice exchanged ideas for a while.

After Wu Shaogan had no further questions, they all sat down again.

Wu Shaogan then asked, "Does Master know about Nine-Bend City?"

Jiang Chongguang said, "I know, I know! Your little Daoist's master went to the Ninth State before. That time, I led a group of fellow disciples of the Spirit Transformation realm to escort him. Those alchemists were running around everywhere, and I followed them for a while." As he said this, he slapped his forehead, "The Nine-Bend City you asked about is in the Ninth State!"

Wu Shaogan looked enlightened and said, "No wonder Master knew."

Jiang Chongguang's attitude remained very easygoing.

Wu Shaogan added, "A-Cai also went to Master Sang for help."

Jiang Chongguang casually replied, "I'll definitely protect him."

Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "Thank you, Master."

Jiang Chongguang waved his hand again.

·

Wu Shaogan left Jiang Chongguang's cave first and went to the Meijia Mountain Range to wait for his Ah Cai.

Sang Yunchu could always sense Wu Shaogan's arrival in advance, so unless he was explaining some difficult points about alchemy, he wouldn't deliberately keep his disciple any longer. He would release him when it was about time.

The master and apprentice were chatting idly, not having anything important to discuss, so Sang Yunchu simply had the puppet bring Wu Shaogan in as well.

·

Wu Shaogan followed the puppet all the way into the alchemy room.

Looking up, he first saw Zhong Cai, and then politely bowed to Sang Yunchu, saying, "Greetings, Master Sang."

Sang Yunchu smiled and said, "Sit wherever you like."

Wu Shaogan casually sat down next to Zhong Cai.

Zhong Cai smiled and said, "Master said he was going with Master Jiang. Old Wu, how is Master Jiang doing?"

Wu Shaogan replied, "Master said he would take care of Master Sang."

Sang Yunchu raised her delicate eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid Senior Brother Jiang is once again looking down on my weak strength."

Wu Shaogan saw through Sang Yunchu's teasing and just smiled again, saying, "Master values ​​the bond between fellow disciples very much."

Upon hearing this, the people present fell silent for a moment.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered the time when Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan were bullied, and Jiang Chongguang ended up smashing their mountain to pieces.

I also remembered... Luo Zixiao, who was knocked down from the sky to the ground, and then knocked back up from the ground to the sky.

·

The group changed the subject.

Sang Yunchu remained calm and spoke gently: "By the way, would you two like to go and see Nine-Bend City this time?"

Zhong Cai was taken aback and looked at Wu Shaogan.

Wu Shaogan also happened to look over.

The two looked at each other, each seeking the other's opinion.

Zhong Cai said, "I'd like to go."

Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "I'm sure Master wouldn't mind having another one of me."

Sang Yunchu said, "I'll discuss it with Senior Brother Jiang later."

Zhong Cai said excitedly, "Then let's wait for Master's news!"

Sang Yunchu's eyes were quite kind: "Just in the last few days."

Zhong Cai happily exclaimed, "Great!"

Wu Shaogan watched this scene from the side, his expression softening.

·

Xiaoyao Peak, Water Prison.

It was a dark cave, filled with sealing formations.

In the center of the cave was a pool of water, steaming with scarlet-red water and emitting a pungent odor.

Inside the pool, a young-looking cultivator was submerged, his limbs bound.

Only a head was floating on the water.

At first glance, you'd think there was only one human head here.

But upon closer inspection, one can see that the facial features on the head are somewhat distorted, but it is indeed still connected to a living person.

The person seemed to be trying hard to control their emotions, but still couldn't help it, their lips opening and closing from time to time as if they were swearing.

Suddenly, the pool water surged!

The crimson water rose rapidly, quickly submerging the head.

Only the surface of the water made some gurgling sounds.

It took about half an hour for the crimson pool water to recede again.

The head reappeared.

The man looked very haggard, clearly suffering from some kind of pain.

Just then, the tightly locked door of the cave was pushed open with a creak, followed by the sound of light footsteps.

A tall, slender woman walked over, holding a whip covered in barbs.

The tall woman walked to the edge of the pool, looked at the person soaking in the water, and gave a cold smile.

"Junior Brother Sun, I'm here to give you some fun again today."

The heads on the surface of the pool glared angrily, about to retort, but since they were in the pool, any words they uttered would choke them.

The tall woman didn't hold back at all, raising her whip high and lashing it at him instantly!

In an instant, many bloody holes appeared on the face of the head!

The man let out a scream, closed his eyes, and showed a pained expression.

The tall woman lashed out with her whip: "Junior Brother Sun, you should have some backbone. What's with this pretentious act? You've got a whole pool of precious herbs for you to soak in. No matter what kind of injury you have, you'll recover quickly."

The man tried to dodge in a sorry state, but his movements were too slow, and he couldn't evade the attack at all.

The tall woman lashed the man's head at least dozens of times before leisurely leaving when she felt she had done enough.

Once the head stopped sustaining new injuries, it visibly recovered to its previous state.

However, the pain was always there.

The head didn't show any relief on its face; instead, it remained very vigilant.

Sure enough, after only a short while, a burly man walked in, carrying a wooden stick.

...and then they came to beat up this head.

After the burly man had had his fill of beating, he left. The head healed, and soon another one arrived.

They continued to torture people.

We still have to bear the consequences, even if it means losing lives...

And so it went, one after another, at least a dozen or so.

The man was on the verge of death several times, but was quickly brought back to life by the medicinal effects of the pool water.

·

The one soaking in the pool of blood is none other than Sun Zhangtian.

Because of the things he caused, Luo Zixiao lost face, the entire Xiaoyao Peak lineage suffered a shortage of pills, and almost all the disciples on the peak were dissatisfied.

Especially for those who desperately need pills but can't get them at all, it affects their cultivation!

All of this is because Sun Zhangtian caused trouble!

Many disciples of Xiaoyao Peak also wanted to blame everything on Master Sang's strictness, but they weren't stupid. They could tell from a little thought that it was completely reasonable—Master Sang's only disciple was humiliated by the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak, and then Master Sang even provided pills to Xiaoyao Peak. Wouldn't that mean that everyone could trample on him and provoke him at will?

Therefore, Sun Zhangtian was the one who was ultimately disliked.

·

Luo Zixiao imprisoned Sun Zhangtian, originally only to take away Sun Zhangtian's resources and set up the Absolute Heaven Formation around him to block the surrounding天地气 (heaven and earth energy) from all directions, preventing Sun Zhangtian from absorbing any of it.

The other disciples certainly disliked Sun Zhangtian, but they only gossiped about him and scolded him; they didn't actually torture him.

However, as time went on, a senior sister who was very popular among the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak died because she failed to obtain the necessary elixir and was unable to reverse her decline during her breakthrough.

At this moment, many male and female disciples who admired this senior sister became angry.

They all thought of Sun Zhangtian, the culprit behind everything!

So, the male and female disciples went off together to cause trouble.

·

The initial harassment involved disciples using secret techniques and magical artifacts to attack Sun Zhangtian through the door of the cultivation room.

The disciples felt a sense of satisfaction when they saw Sun Zhangtian struggling to dodge.

However, one day, a disciple of Xuanzhao accidentally picked up the wrong item when using a mystical artifact—a treasure he had dug out of ruins during a chance encounter, which he did not recognize at all.

He gestured towards Sun Zhangtian, but when he didn't get the reaction he expected, he realized he had taken the wrong thing.

But at that moment, a sharp explosion pierced the air and instantly spread throughout the entire Xiaoyao Peak!

Even Luo Zixiao, who was still trying to calm himself down, noticed it. Being knowledgeable and experienced, he was quite familiar with such warning signs and almost immediately slipped away to the outside of the confinement room.

The disciple who had "woke up" the entire peak had hurriedly put the treasure away; the sharp explosion was actually only for a moment.

Luo Zixiao asked in a deep voice, "Who made that noise just now?"

The disciple dared not conceal anything, and quickly took out the treasure again, explaining the whole story.

When Luo Zixiao looked at Sun Zhangtian again, his expression changed from disgust to genuine coldness.

·

This relic is a treasure passed down from ancient times.

It has little use; it is merely a special item for identification.

It can identify evil cultivators who possess other people's bodies!

Although the underlying principle is unknown, it can indeed be identified.

However, this thing was rare even in the distant past, and its lifespan was very short; it would break down after only a few uses.

·

The cultivators in this world mainly refine their souls by using companion treasures until their primordial soul merges with the companion treasure, and then the companion treasure and the primordial soul cultivate together.

Whether it's a primordial spirit or a companion treasure, it has a certain connection with the cultivator's body, but this connection is not close.

Some cultivators who practice unorthodox cultivation methods, after their bodies have perished, do not go to great lengths to collect precious medicines and rationally reconstruct their physical bodies like upright cultivators do.

They often use secret techniques to directly select a suitable body to inhabit.

At that time, not only will the primordial spirit have a place to rest, but even the original body's companion treasures will be devoured.

In short, if a heretical cultivator successfully possesses another's body, and the original companion treasure is a low-level dagger while the possessed body has a high-level longsword, then the heretical cultivator who successfully takes over the other's identity will still outwardly display that their companion treasure is a high-level longsword. In reality, the companion treasure is still a dagger, and it will slowly devour the spirituality of the original body's companion treasure, slightly increasing its grade.

·

The alarm sounded from the relic's treasure was a warning that there were evil cultivators skilled in possession on the peak.

The principle behind its testing is actually the mismatch between the soul and the body, as well as the decline in the quality of the accompanying treasures.

The more intense and sharp the explosion, the more sinister the possessor is.

·

Despite his various flaws in his conduct, Luo Zixiao is still a strong person with principles.

Therefore, we despise those who possess others' bodies even more!

At the same time, he immediately felt a pang of heartache—

I feel sorry for the original genius who was possessed.

If Luo Zixiao hadn't been possessed by Sun Zhangtian, he would have found the original genius and acquired a disciple who wouldn't have brought such a great disaster to Xiaoyao Peak.

With proper guidance, that disciple might be able to fulfill one of his small regrets.

But now, it's all been ruined by Sun Zhangtian!

Luo Zixiao kept thinking about the evil cultivators he already knew who possessed such methods, but they hadn't died much in recent years, and the one or two who had possessed other bodies after death had already been caught.

Therefore, he concluded that Sun Zhangtian must have infiltrated from another state.

Luo Zixiao's face immediately darkened.

He strongly suspected that Sun Zhangtian's fawning over him after becoming his disciple was for ulterior motives, and that his actions in the underground arena were also intentional.

And now that I think about it, although there are some strange cultivators, cold-blooded cultivators, and cultivators with various other flaws in the academy, only one person has done something similar to Sun Zhangtian, humiliating people while throwing money around.

However, none of his disciples fed the corpses of cultivators he had tricked to death, who were innocent victims, to rare beasts.

Rare animals possess a spirit. Feeding them human flesh and blood will indeed increase their ferocity and fighting power, but over time, it is easy to corrupt that spirit, turning them into something like a savage beast!

Moreover, anyone with a modicum of sense would not use their own kind to feed other species of creatures.

·

Luo Zixiao was even more certain.

Only the most vicious and evil cultivators would do such a thing!

Moreover, he did this without any unusual emotions, as if it were perfectly natural.

For such unorthodox cultivators, bodies can be changed at will; they are merely the husks of rogue cultivators after death... If Sun Zhangtian hadn't already successfully possessed a body and had to somewhat care about the Azure Dragon Academy, he probably wouldn't have used corpses to feed rare beasts at all.

He'll definitely use live people directly!

·

Luo Zixiao had already lost face and didn't want to admit to others that he had been deceived by the evil cultivator and taken as a disciple. He also had no interest in the specific background of the evil cultivator.

He just wanted to kill this evil cultivator and erase his own stain!

However, to truly kill someone, one must also destroy their companion treasures—at least ten times in the flames.

Sun Zhangtian had already condensed his primordial spirit, but fortunately he was still accumulating the celestial yang energy and had not yet consecrated the treasure.

Logically speaking, his companion treasure should still be fragile and could be destroyed with a single palm strike.

However, for someone to possess another's body, they must at least be fused with their companion treasure, meaning they must be a cultivator at the Fusion Realm.

Luo Zixiao felt that a single slap might not be enough to destroy the level nine companion treasure, and he didn't want to be caught off guard, so he consulted ancient texts and found a formula.

He spared no expense in depleting his inventory and even sent people to the trading hall to exchange for a considerable amount of resources.

Then, he carefully arranged such a pool of blood.

·

Luo Zixiao threw Sun Zhangtian into the blood pool, instantly sealing off all of his mobility, as well as his ability to speak and incite people.

The energy from the blood pool will continuously enter Sun Zhangtian's body, constantly eroding his companion treasures and his primordial soul.

In a few more years, Sun Zhangtian will never be able to turn things around.

Once his companion treasure is gone, the primordial spirit protected by the treasure will also immediately disappear.

That's how this major threat was eliminated.

·

Luo Zixiao directly announced that, after investigation, Sun Zhangtian had committed an unforgivable crime and was therefore imprisoned in the water dungeon, never to be released until his death, and the water dungeon cave would remain sealed off.

Some disciples of Xiaoyao Peak who hated Sun Zhangtian to the core could no longer tolerate it.

Since Sun Zhangtian could no longer turn the tide, their revenge became even more intense, especially after they discovered the miraculous use of the blood pool to heal injuries, they didn't hesitate at all!

Luo Zixiao turned a blind eye.

Simply soaking the item in a pool is actually very inefficient at wearing down a level nine treasure. However, if Sun Zhangtian is constantly injured, the healing properties will enter his body along with the blood, accelerating the wear and tear.

Sun Zhangtian was naturally plunged into dire straits.

·

Things changed too quickly.

Sun Zhangtian had barely reacted before he had fallen to such a state.

Even though the main system has a mark on his body because he failed to complete the mission, the main system will not pull him back.

He's beyond saving.

This filled Sun Zhangtian with utter despair.

Especially when he discovered that the aura of the treasure within his body was constantly weakening, he lost even his last hope of cultivating into a powerful being in this world and prolonging his life.

Sun Zhangtian found it hard to believe.

Having conquered countless worlds, he actually fell so easily in this one!

At the same time, he also felt a deep sense of regret.

If only I hadn't been so greedy for administrator privileges.

He could then venture into other, simpler worlds to conquer, live longer, and continue his carefree life.

And now...

Sun Zhangtian wanted to curse every day, but he couldn't do anything about it.

In the stillness of the night, when those who tormented him were not around, he inevitably felt even more regret deep in his heart.

He was too careless.

The fantasy world has a multitude of methods and such terrifyingly powerful figures. The world's consciousness is so terrifying that it can intercept his system cheat. How dare he still be so arrogant?

In the past, he was able to avoid being discovered by powerful figures as a body-taker because the system, with the power of the main system, concealed his identity—those worlds were weaker than the main system and were merely taking advantage of the local environment!

But this time, not only did the main system's power not get in at all, but even if it did, he couldn't easily show himself!

Sun Zhangtian's initial luck was insufficient.

He should have cultivated in a low-key manner, just like any other ordinary genius cultivator, and tried his best to avoid the gaze of powerful figures to prevent his secrets from being discovered.

In this way, the world's consciousness will not pay too much attention to him.

Sun Zhangtian, however, went directly to the Azure Dragon Academy.

This is a place with a strong aura of destiny!

Sun Zhangtian should gradually reveal his abilities by increasing his luck through various means.

In this way, under the watchful eyes of the world, he would have ample good fortune to shield him from being too conspicuous.

·

But no amount of regret will help.

Sun Zhangtian could only suffer torment day after day until the end of his life.

With each act of torture, every moment, his malice towards Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan increased.

·

Therefore, even though Sun Zhangtian's malice towards Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan had reached its peak—practically exceeding 100—Tianjing Mirror never put his name on the malice list.

He is no longer a threat at all.

even……

Because of the rules of the main system, all players are unable to reveal the world's plot to the natives after entering the new world.

This is to prevent the main system from being exposed.

After all, not every strategist is smart, and not every strategist is incorruptible.

·

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan had long forgotten about what was happening with Sun Zhangtian.

After returning from Master Sang's place, the two began packing their bags.

They also went to the Wandian Tower together to look for information about the Ninth State.

Although I'm with my masters this time, it won't hurt for them to learn more about me.

You can also make some preparations.

·

Two days later, Master Sang's puppet arrived in a chariot.

Zhong Cai pulled Wu Shaogan into the car and asked, "Where are the masters waiting?"

The puppet replied, "Master Sang Dan is currently at Instructor Jiang's residence."

Zhong Cai raised her eyebrows.

Master Jiang's mansion...

He couldn't help but imagine that the pleasure-loving, elegantly dressed Master Sang was sitting on a rock drinking tea with Master Jiang.

Will Master Jiang invite Master Sang for tea?

Even after we greeted them, the scene was still just...

Something seems off?

·

Wu Shaogan grasped Zhong Cai's hand, rubbed it gently, and asked with a smile, "Cai, what are you thinking about again?"

Zhong Cai blinked, leaned close to Wu Shaogan's ear, and whispered something to him.

Wu Shaogan couldn't help but chuckle: "Indeed, a little."

Zhong Cai laughed: "Right?"

Both of them were somewhat interested and instructed the puppet to go even faster.

The puppet did indeed accelerate.

The air is stable, so it doesn't matter how fast the car is going.

Before long, the two people and the puppet successfully arrived at Jiang Chongguang's stone mountain.

·

Zhong Cai jumped off the car, took Wu Shaogan's hand, and they were about to jump into the cave together.

Just then, he heard his master's voice again.

"Cai'er, come this way."

Zhong Cai turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound.

...It's blocked by huge rocks, so we can't see it.

Wu Shaogan had already released his spiritual sense and quickly located the spot. He couldn't help but laugh: "A-Cai, go around it."

Zhong Cai said "Oh," and still pulled Wu Shaogan along, heading in that direction.

Go around one rock, then another, and another...

After several turns, the two came to a stone pavilion built of rock.

The pavilion is very large, capable of accommodating at least a dozen people lying down. It is also taller than ordinary pavilions, with some sharp angles, giving it a rugged yet grand aesthetic.

The stone table inside is square, as if it were carved directly from a single rock.

On the stone benches on either side of the stone table sat two young-looking cultivators.

The stone bench looks as if it was directly chopped out of stone; it's very stable, but irregular, with a somewhat messy and wild beauty.

·

Sang Yunchu sat on the right, and as always, she was holding a teacup.

On the left is Jiang Chongguang.

At this moment, his tall figure sat properly on the stone bench, making the huge stone table look small in comparison.

...Of course, this also makes Sang Yunchu appear even more...petite?

What's even more interesting is that Jiang Chongguang was also holding a teacup in his hand.

The teacup was a normal size, and it looked quite delicate in his palm.

·

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan both felt a bit strange when they saw it from afar.

Well...

This should be quite incongruous, but perhaps it's because Master Jiang and Master Sang's expressions are too normal, so it's also quite harmonious.

Actually, Master Sang isn't short; it's just that Master Jiang is exceptionally gifted.

Zhong Cai looked at Wu Shaogan with a grin, her eyebrows slightly raised in delight—I told you, Masters, why don't you sit on the rock and drink tea?

Wu Shaogan smiled back – A Cai is right.

·

Sang Yunchu laughed and said, "What are you still standing there for?"

Zhong Cai quickly pulled Wu Shaogan along and ran over to them, bowing to the two of them.

"Master, Master Jiang!"

“Master, Master Sang.”

Upon hearing this, both masters responded amiably.

Jiang Chongguang was a decisive person, and said directly, "Shall we go now?"

Sang Yunchu raised his cup slightly and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Jiang's tea is so sweet and refreshing, it would be a waste to waste it."

Zhong Cai, being a lively person, glanced at the teacup in her master's hand—there was indeed still half a cup of tea left.

Jiang Chongguang was taken aback. This pretty boy junior brother actually liked this tea?

He simply said, "Why don't you finish your drink first?"

Sang Yunchu glanced at the teacup that Jiang Chongguang had casually placed on the stone table.

Jiang Chongguang: "..."

He picked up the teacup and drank the remaining tea in one gulp.

Sang Yunchu also drank tea.

Jiang Chongguang wiped his mouth and looked at Sang Yunchu, as if to say, "Is this alright?"

Sang Yunchu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, please."
