Chapter 558 Taking the Masters on a Tour of the Ancient City 1

Sang Yunchu wore a gentle smile.

Jiang Chongguang asked in a hearty manner, "What do you two want with us?"

Zhong Cai was taken aback upon hearing this, and couldn't help but look at Sang Yunchu with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Master, didn't you tell Master Jiang?"

Jiang Chongguang also looked at Sang Yunchu.

Sang Yunchu laughed and said, "I forgot."

Zhong Cai remained silent.

...So his master just said to Master Jiang, "Cai'er and Shaogan are looking for us," and Master Jiang came along.

Zhong Cai chuckled: "Let's go inside and talk!"

So, the master and his disciples went directly to the cultivation room where Zhong and Wu often went. Whenever they needed to enter the ancient city, the couple usually stayed in their own bedroom, but now that their two masters were also there, it was more appropriate to go to the cultivation room.

·

Inside the meditation room.

Zhong Cai released the ancient city directly.

The ancient city was quickly expanded to fit the size of the room.

This ancient city cannot currently change its size freely, but it usually has three modes.

One option is to turn into dust, another is to fit the size of a confined space, and the third is to retain its original size.

Now that we're going to bring our masters into the ancient city, the second method is definitely the most suitable.

·

When the ancient city suddenly appeared, Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang, just like the Zhong Wu couple, slightly lifted their feet off the ground.

The group looked down at this miniature version of the ancient city.

The two masters had seen the ancient city before, but it was on the battlefield, and the ancient city was indeed the size of a city. They only saw the thick city walls and countless buildings, but did not really see its overall appearance.

But things are different now.

Sang Jiang and her companion were somewhat awestruck as they gazed upon the majestic little city.

Such a treasure is truly amazing!

The master had long suspected that the two disciples' companion treasures were both growth-type items that had undergone multiple upgrades and fused together, which would have consumed countless precious resources... However, the final result was still quite satisfactory.

The ancient city is a perfect blend of offense and defense, and can even protect a faction.

Currently, it does seem that only two people can use it, but once the two disciples reach a higher level and have more subordinates, even if they encounter great danger, they will be able to protect everyone and prevent their overall strength from being diminished in the slightest—this advantage will greatly help them recruit various talents.

Zhong Cai secretly observed the expressions of his two masters from the side, and seeing the significant changes in their expressions, he secretly chuckled.

Wu Shaogan took his hand and gently rubbed it.

Zhong Cai turned to look at him, her smile radiant.

After carefully examining the city's appearance, Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang's gaze gradually fell on the inner city.

Because many buildings in this inner city have plaques hanging on them.

In particular, several of the larger buildings have plaques that read "Alchemy Simulation," "Self-Created Secret Technique Simulation," and "Secret Technique Derivation Simulation."

Putting everything else aside, the meaning of these words is easy to understand with just a little reading.

Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang were both well-informed people, and they couldn't help but have their own guesses.

The master and mistress looked at the couple, Zhong and Wu, who were exchanging loving glances.

Zhong Cai blinked: "Master, Master Jiang, just ask whatever you want."

Sang Yunchu didn't ask directly, but simply pointed to the buildings with his finger. He knew very well that if these were hidden places, his two disciples could simply take down the plaques without having to invite them to visit the ancient city and hang them so conspicuously.

Jiang Chongguang was also very curious.

Zhong Cai grinned and said, "Then why don't you two masters come with us to take a look?"

Sang Yunchu raised her delicate eyebrows slightly.

Jiang Chongguang readily agreed, "Okay!"

Then, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan held hands and, in a flash, appeared in the inner city.

At that moment, both Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang had a feeling—they could now enter the ancient city directly.

In the next instant, the two of them flashed and headed straight for the ancient city.

They did indeed arrive at Zhong Wufu's side without incident.

·

Zhong Cai, accompanied by his two masters, first arrived at the main hall where he had created a secret technique.

Sang Yunchu asked with a smile, "Why did you get here first?"

Zhong Cai said smugly, "Because if Master enters the alchemy simulation room, I'm afraid he won't want to come out once he's there!"

Sang Yunchu raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

Zhong Cai kept everyone in suspense: "I won't say now, Master will find out later!"

Sang Yunchu couldn't help but speculate further about the meaning of the word "simulation" in the alchemy simulation room.

Wu Shaogan, on the other hand, directly pushed open the door to "self-created secret technique simulation".

Once inside, Wu Shaogan first gave the group a demonstration.

Right in front of him, a "person" who looked exactly like him appeared.

However, the "person's" face was blank, without any features, just a smooth surface.

It almost instantly destroyed the "person's" demeanor.

It looks a bit creepy.

Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang were both stunned.

They could certainly recognize him as if Wu Shaogan had simply painted his face and was standing there.

But why did they erase their faces?

Is it because they are worried that simulating something later will cause great harm to this "person" and make them uncomfortable, so they did this on purpose?

Zhong Cai paused, then glanced at her old man, Wu.

Well...

He now understood why Lao Wu was acting this way.

It wasn't that he was afraid the simulated dummy would make him and his two masters uncomfortable if it were damaged; rather, it was simply because he was there that Old Wu didn't want another Old Wu present, and didn't want him staring at Old Wu's... face.

After all, every time he looked at Lao Wu, he would look at his face first.

If the mannequin had Lao Wu's face, he might accidentally take a second look at it.

In short, Lao Wu was jealous.

If it weren't for the fact that this secret technique requires one's own physical body to be fully effective, Old Wu probably wouldn't have been able to simulate his own body.

For now, all we can do is save our face for the time being.

Of course, with the two elders right there, Zhong Cai couldn't say it out loud, lest it seem like she was flirting with Lao Wu, which would be impolite.

Then Zhong Cai laughed and said, "Master, Master Jiang, look! Old Wu is about to make his move!"

Wu Shaogan looked at his Ah Cai with tender eyes, and sure enough, he sent out a wisp of his soul to land on the dummy.

Next, the dummy obeyed the soul's commands and began to operate the new secret technique within its body.

What's even more interesting is that, although the mannequin is dressed in clothes, people can see a red line moving along its body, which is the path of the flow of Xuan energy.

As the red line changed, another Sun-Shooting Bow appeared in the dummy's hand. Immediately, a halo of light condensed on the bowstring, continuously absorbing the mysterious red line of energy within the dummy and compressing it.

As the halo gradually compressed to an extremely small yet incredibly bright size, it still didn't stop absorbing the red threads of profound energy. After this absorption, the point of light maintained sufficient brightness and then slowly expanded again…

The compressed profound energy gradually reached an extremely terrifying level.

It only stopped when the light spot finally grew to the size of a pigeon egg.

Finally, the dummy abruptly released the bowstring!

The light spot popped up instantly!

The impact was directed at one of the interior walls.

Then, the wall exploded.

The light spot continued its forward momentum without slowing down.

Interestingly, there were many walls blocking the way ahead, stacked one on top of another, layer upon layer.

In the blink of an eye, it pierced through hundreds of faces!

The space behind the wall seemed endless, constantly consuming the light points.

Only when the light spot slowed down did an extremely thick stone wall appear, which looked remarkably similar to the city wall of the ancient city.

The light splattered against the stone wall!

It exploded!

The stone wall exploded! It turned into dust.

It was at this moment that the dummy exploded.

Several people even saw that the red threads inside the dummy were tangled up, clearly indicating a problem, which was the cause of the explosion.

Besides this, the imbalance of Xuan energy is also a major problem, with many details going wrong...

One can imagine that if one were to hone this secret technique entirely on one's own, one would have to be extremely careful and meticulous, and be extra cautious when inputting and outputting energy. The speed would obviously be very slow, and it would definitely not be as wide and sweeping as it is now. Moreover, even with the utmost care, it would still lead to injury, or even serious injury!

What's even more frightening is that even if you're seriously injured, the problem might not be discovered, and you have to spend a lot of time figuring it out, trying to minimize the damage to yourself while making mistakes...

Creating your own secret techniques is never that simple.

·

Zhong Cai's lips twitched.

He himself wouldn't actually worry about the dummy, no matter how tragically it exploded—not to mention it's faceless now, even if it really had Lao Wu's face, it wouldn't have Lao Wu's charm. He wouldn't mistake it for Lao Wu, so of course he wouldn't worry about it.

But the subtle expressions on the two masters' faces after the dummy was blown up like that were quite interesting.

·

Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang quickly came to their senses.

Jiang Chongguang's eyes were bright, and he immediately said, "This is a good place!"

Zhong Cai chuckled, "The other training room that simulates the deduction of secret techniques is very similar to this one. Both are for supplementing secret techniques and can simulate dummies. However, the self-created one usually starts from scratch, while the secret technique deduction one attempts to upgrade or supplement incomplete secret techniques based on existing ones." He thought for a moment and added, "The deduction one will also actively provide several deduction possibilities when the cultivator needs them. This one doesn't have automatic simulation of subsequent routes."

Jiang Chongguang's eyes became even brighter.

After a moment's thought, Sang Yunchu suddenly asked, "Cai'er, can patients also be simulated in the alchemy simulation room?"

Zhong Cai immediately praised loudly, "Master is really experienced! Yes, that can simulate a patient! And..." He revealed a mysterious smile, "Its function is not limited to that."

Sang Yunchu seemed to be deep in thought, her anticipation for the alchemy simulation room reaching its peak.
