Chapter 577 About Several Fragments

Zhong Cai raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Old Wu, do you think this kid specifically told me he's suddenly rich because he wants to clear out a few IOUs when he gets back?"

Wu Shaogan laughed as well: "Perhaps?" He thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, A Cai, isn't that Haoyang Daojun the one who regained his memories even earlier than Zuo Hao?"

Zhong Cai nodded: "It's him."

The five fragments of the primordial spirit that had been tormented by the Poison Toad Ancestor were extremely difficult to restore. It took many years just for them to grow up, and it was even more difficult to awaken their consciousness and memories later.

But Zhong Cai eventually managed to get it done.

Perhaps their own Sect Master Pei and Sect Master Ji can distinguish them? After these fragments are restored, regardless of their aura, they are actually still on the righteous path. Even the one whose cultivation method was seen to be somewhat evil by Zhong Cai was actually just a rogue cultivator whose behavior seemed to be both righteous and evil, but he had never done anything truly malicious.

Zhong Cai was the first to try using the sinister fragments, but he didn't judge a cultivator's morality solely based on the technique. So he just used it first, and when he actually treated the patient, he was extremely careful and tried his best to avoid any mistakes.

Fortunately, this was the case, and Zhong Cai was very happy after rescuing many fragments.

Of all these fragments, Haoyang Daojun recovered the fastest.

This was also the most righteous and awe-inspiring among the fragments that Zhong Cai had sensed before.

Perhaps Haoyang Daojun's will was exceptionally strong in life, which is why he recovered early and made a series of deals with Zhong Cai early on.

Next is Zuo Hao.

This once-proud prodigy, after recovering, learned from Zhong Cai that he still had fellow disciples who cared about him so much. He was deeply moved and immediately asked Zhong Cai to contact them.

Before long, Pei Moning and Ba Meng from Huishan Sect came to pick them up.

In order to help Zuo Hao recover as soon as possible, the entire Huishan Sect contributed resources, and Pei Moning and Ba Meng even took out most of their savings, all of which were used for Zuo Hao's treatment.

It can be said that, apart from Haoyang Daojun who signed the IOU with unparalleled ease, Zuo Hao recovered his strength the fastest.

Later, Zuo Hao returned to his sect.

It is said that with the help of his fellow disciples, he quickly regained his former realm. Moreover, because he had suffered many years of torment from the Tongtian Ancestor, he subconsciously absorbed some of the Tongtian's combat experience and cultivation insights, making him extremely powerful in combat.

Zuo Hao already has a great reputation, and it won't be long before he rises from the ashes.

As a seriously ill patient who was rescued with great difficulty, it is truly remarkable that he has recovered to this extent.

The other fragments also recovered faster than Zhong Cai had anticipated.

However, that ambiguous figure was originally a rogue cultivator who had always been a lone wolf in his early years, so naturally no one helped him.

Of the remaining two, one was a cultivator who had been a close friend in life but had already perished, so there was no need to try to find him anymore; the other originally belonged to a sect, but he had been dead for too long, and he himself was a powerful figure in the sect. After his disappearance, the remaining powerful figures were not enough to support the sect, and it was destroyed not long after. Now, it is said that only a few disciples later established new forces, but they are all very small forces because there is nothing left for others to covet, and they are barely able to survive.

Fortunately, they were all cunning enough to have multiple burrows, and each had some hidden wealth. After giving it all away, they each went their separate ways.

Although they possessed considerable hidden wealth, it was barely enough to cover Zhong Cai's payment, and their own strength hadn't recovered to its peak. Having barely survived, instead of writing IOUs to improve their strength, they thanked Zhong Cai and left, intending to cultivate on their own, starting from a lower level…

After reading the news report, the Zhong and Wu couple chatted and laughed for a few minutes.

Zhong Cai chuckled and said, "This kid is so cocky after just becoming rich. When he comes back, I'll make sure he's penniless!"

Wu Shaogan rubbed Zhong Cai's face, then leaned down and kissed him, and said with a smile, "I'll keep watch for A-Cai."

Zhong Cai couldn't hold back her laughter and collapsed into Wu Shaogan's arms, refusing to get up on her own for a long time. She laughed again, "Haha! I'm not robbing him, why would I need you to keep watch!"

Wu Shaogan's eyes were gentle: "If he starts howling and screaming at you, I'll make sure he can't move."

Zhong Cai was even happier.

After laughing, Zhong Cai let out a breath, his eyes still smiling: "That kid's a slacker. He's so smug. I hope he doesn't get too cocky and cause an accident." He paused, "But he's got everything, and Haoyang Daojun is with him... I remember Haoyang Daojun is quite steady. If they come back quickly, nothing should happen."

Wu Shaogan nodded in agreement: "I hope so."

However, often when we say "don't let anything go wrong," something unexpected actually happens.

This time was no exception.

Perhaps it's because of their age... no, perhaps it's because of their higher level of spiritual attainment, but Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan are becoming increasingly reluctant to go out.

Moreover, because their strength improved so quickly, the two spent even more time on body training.

Similarly, if there are any rare treasures that the ancient city can absorb, the two are willing to spend a lot of money to acquire them and install them on the ancient city. Originally, many of the functions that the ancient city possessed could not be improved because their aptitude had already reached the top level of the Immortal Rank, but if they were willing to give the ancient city higher-level resources, some functions could be enhanced in a targeted manner.

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan's acquisition of a portion of the assets demonstrated their considerable wealth.

At the same time, Zhong Cai increased the frequency of her card draws.

Because of Zhong Cai's current abilities, Dan Yun is accumulating faster and faster.

Putting aside everything else, once Zhong Cai became a Pill Emperor at the Nirvana Realm, because the pill furnace could shorten the time by half, each batch only took less than four days. Each batch produced three pills, of which at least one was of the highest grade, and the rest were almost all of the highest grade.

Each top-grade level eight pill produces a full 300,000 strands of medicinal energy! And each superior-grade pill produces 200,000 strands.

In this way, Zhong Cai often only needs one batch of pills to obtain 700,000 strands of pill essence.

After a few furnaces, you can do the Golden Flame Pool ten-shot combo several times.

For the Golden Flame Pool 10-pull, you can choose multiple pity options!

Those are all level nine resources!

After so many years, the couple accumulated an immense fortune, filling their resource palace to the brim, to the point that they couldn't even keep track of it all.

Moreover, the two have been renting out cultivation rooms and simulation rooms for many years, which has brought them a huge amount of Xuan Stones and various points, making them dizzy at first glance.

It can be said that now, whether it is the Spirit Immortal Sect or the War God Hall, apart from the two top cultivators who have lived for tens of thousands of years and whose wealth is unknown, no other cultivator can compare with the wealth of this couple!

Even other Nirvana beings who have lived for over a thousand years and accumulated so many years of resources cannot compare.

In order to enhance their own strength and the capabilities of the ancient city, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan spared no expense in using large sums of money. For resources that were inconvenient to sell within their respective factions, they would go to the Land of All Beings to sell and trade them.

The couple had held countless auctions in the land of sentient beings.

Each time, they were given large quantities of mystic stones or other resources.

At every auction, the Zhong and Wu couple would bring out some treasures that could help Tongtian overcome the tribulation of lightning. These treasures were usually the most expensive. But in fact, the best ones were usually kept by the couple and saved up. Unless they had a surplus, they would only bring out the second-best tribulation-crossing treasures.

As Zhong Wufu's cultivation level improved, the numerous cultivation sites within the ancient city finally unleashed their full power.

During this period, not only did Zhong Cai's altar continuously accumulate resources for the two of them, but Wu Shaogan's command platform also summoned countless Taoist soldiers.

All Dao soldiers must undergo trials, and those who are relatively strong will voluntarily join the Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall when disciples are recruited, or at other suitable times.

The direction they invested in was naturally the thirteenth branch where Zhong Cai was located, and the one hundred and twenty-fifth hall of Wu Shaogan.

Among Dao soldiers, alchemists are a very small minority; the majority are martial arts cultivators with formidable combat abilities.

Especially since the Ancient City Sect itself also needs elixirs, anyone Zhong Cai had seen who felt lacked a keen understanding of alchemy was also recruited into the Ancient City Sect—therefore, very few alchemists were actually able to join the thirteenth lineage.

In contrast, many martial arts cultivators joined Wu Shaogan's side.

The main reason is the large number of participants, and the tests for martial arts cultivators are mainly based on the regulations of the Temple of War, resulting in a large number of beginners.

Therefore, although neither the Lingxian Sect nor the War God Hall knew the details, Zhong Wu Fu Fu were very clear about the composition of their respective sects.

In the thirteenth lineage, there are already several hundred alchemists, but only about a dozen alchemists specializing in Daoist soldiers.

In the 125th Hall, the number of disciples reached more than 30,000, half of whom were special Dao soldiers. The existence of these special Dao soldiers was enough to ensure that Wu Shaogan could maintain strict rules, eliminate nepotism, and ensure fairness in all matters, even though he entrusted all affairs to the disciples in the hall and did not manage affairs much.

The special soldiers weren't necessarily without their own schemes, but they knew that once they did, Wu Shaogan would inevitably discover them, and their hard-won new lives would be completely wasted, with no chance of a second chance...

Meanwhile, the Ancient City Sect also became an eighth-level force.
