Chapter 589 Crafting Tokens

When the ancient city had fully evolved and no longer needed to devour the Void Sand, the Void Sand was still not used up.

There are twenty-five left.

Zhong Cai put them away and said with a smile, "There's a long road ahead, and we might need them someday."

Wu Shaogan squeezed Zhong Cai's hand and smiled, "Cai is right."

Zhong Cai leaned against Wu Shaogan, thought for a moment, and asked, "Old Wu, do you think we should take some time to go back?"

Wu Shao chuckled dryly, "A-Cai wants to visit relatives?" He ruffled Zhong Cai's hair, "Do you miss your maternal grandparents and aunt, or that cheapskate father?"

Zhong Cai thought for a moment and replied, "If I say I don't miss it, I do miss it a little. But if I say I miss it terribly, then no."

·

The couple had been on the top continent for over two hundred years, each leading their own lives. They only thought of each other occasionally, without much longing.

Moreover, during this time, the two had Wu Dongxiao bring back some resources for their relatives and friends. Their relatives and friends all had lifespans of at least several hundred years, and with the defensive items they had, as long as they didn't make too much of a fuss, their lives would be safe, and there was no rush to meet them.

It's just that the ancient city has recently acquired new functions, and people have suddenly remembered it.

·

Upon hearing Zhong Cai's reply, Wu Shaogan smiled again and said, "If you don't miss them too much, you can ask your two masters. If your two masters are not in a hurry to go back to visit their families, then wait a little longer."

Zhong Cai turned his head to look at his old man, and suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering something.

“We took the ancient city with us, so the cultivation rooms that were opened to the sect can’t be used anymore! So, my two masters are in a hurry, and the cultivation rooms will have to be ‘closed for a period of time for repairs.’ If you’re not in a hurry… once I reach the late Nirvana stage and a replica of the ancient city appears, then you won’t have to worry.”

Wu Shaogan nodded: "A-Cai is intelligent."

Zhong Cai grinned and nudged him, chuckling, "You're sucking up!"

Wu Shaogan raised his eyebrows, then suddenly raised his hand and patted Zhong Cai's butt.

Zhong Cai paused, then burst into laughter, pinching Wu Shaogan's face with both hands.

·

The two indeed went to see Sang Yunchu.

After all, Jiang Chongguang spends most of his time with Sang Yunchu now.

Whether it's a coincidence or something else, disciples of the Spirit Immortal Sect and the War God Hall who develop feelings for each other will almost always go to the alchemist disciples' side if they're not cultivating in a specific area.

This is true for most of the time, from top to bottom.

Therefore, a cultivation room exclusively for Jiang Chongguang has now been set up in Sang Yunchu's residence.

When Zhong Cai first found out, she was quite shocked.

Back in the Azure Dragon Academy, the two masters must have known each other for just as long as they had on this top-tier continent… right? Yet, they failed to develop a romantic relationship back then. But after arriving here, perhaps influenced by the atmosphere of their respective factions? The speed at which the two masters developed a romantic relationship was far beyond Zhong Cai's imagination!

Of course, Zhong Cai also thought that perhaps the reason for the rapid development now was also due to the friendship he had with his fellow apprentices over the years.

·

Sang Yunchu held his teacup, listening to his beloved disciple's rapid-fire explanation, nodded, and chuckled, "In that case, you can go back anytime, but each trip will last at least a month."

Zhong Cai nodded: "That's right! Master! Do you want to go back? Grandmaster Jiang hasn't arrived yet! Also, I need to ask Dong Xiao if we should bring Instructor Wan over as well?"

Sang Yunchu smiled and said, "You can ask."

Zhong Cai rested his chin on his hand, staring at his master, waiting for him to continue.

Sang Yunchu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "We're not in a hurry, just do it your way."

Zhong Cai chuckled: "Then the masters will wait for us to inform them?"

Sang Yunchu replied, "Okay."

Wu Shaogan and Jiang Chongguang sat next to their respective alchemists, neither offering an opinion, which was tantamount to acquiescing.

In such situations, Wu Shaogan was used to listening to Zhong Cai, just as Jiang Chongguang had long been used to listening to Sang Yunchu.

·

Wu Dongxiao had already settled his guests in the guest courtyard and told them to rest for a while.

He hadn't expected that his two uncles would come again so soon after they parted ways.

At this moment, after hearing the purpose of his Uncle Zhong's visit, Wu Dongxiao scratched his head and said, "Then I'm fine with anything? My master is a cultivation fanatic, she's probably still in seclusion. She should have already reached the Spirit Transformation stage, she's still a long way from Nirvana..."

At this point, Wu Dongxiao suddenly perked up.

"Uncle Zhong! Little Uncle! Let's go back later! Let me undergo my rebirth first!"

"By then, my cultivation level will surpass Master's! Master will be so envious! Hahaha!"

Zhong Cai was speechless: "I think you deserve a beating."

Wu Dongxiao chuckled and said, "Anyway, Master won't be able to catch me by then, so he won't be able to hit me even if he wants to!"

Zhong Cai was speechless.

That kid is really asking for trouble.

However, he wouldn't interfere in matters between master and disciple.

and……

Zhong Cai saw Xuan Bing twitch his lips and a glint of light flash in his eyes.

He chuckled to himself.

The brat was so smug that he forgot his senior brother was raised by their two masters.

Although Senior Brother Xuanbing had long been reduced to taciturnity due to the misfortune of that brat, his strength had never actually declined. Even after that brat caught up with him in terms of realm, he was still able to maintain a similar level of progress.

If that brat really angers Instructor Wan, Senior Brother Xuanbing might grab him and give Instructor Wan a couple of whacks.

...Isn't this a case of "spare the rod and spoil the child"?

·

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan quickly left Wu Dongxiao's residence.

Now that everyone has made up their minds, they're just waiting for Wu Dongxiao to pass away before going back together.

In the days that followed, the couple diligently practiced and honed their skills while slowly gathering various resources that they could take back and that were suitable for their relatives and friends.

·

In the ancient city.

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan stood in front of the weapons pool.

This pool has always been used to refine special mystic weapons, and it has become even more convenient to use after several evolutions.

For example, right now.

The couple took out the twenty-five grains of Void Sand that did not contain any aura of law.

Of course, not all of them were used; only five were taken out.

In addition, there are a large number of other refining materials—these are the lists provided by the weapon pool after learning of the couple's wishes.

In Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan's resource hall, there were countless kinds of refining materials, and they easily gathered everything.

This is perfect timing to use it.

According to the requirements of the weapon pool, various refining materials were added in one by one in a certain proportion.

In an instant, these materials turned into clumps of liquid and quickly fused together.

It was at this time that the Void Sand was thrown in!

Zhong Cai rolled her eyes slightly and said with a smile, "I want it once, and I want it multiple times, you decide."

A strange aura suddenly lingered above the weapons pool, hazy and ethereal, sometimes seemingly carrying different connotations such as turmoil, clarity, and sharpness.

This is precisely the feeling that spatial energy brings to people.

About an hour passed, and Zhong Cai finally couldn't help but doze off in Wu Shaogan's arms. Only then did the reaction in the weapon pool finally come to an end...

Rays of light rose from within.

In the glow of the sunset, countless liquid clumps merged and separated, gradually forming palm-sized, token-shaped objects.

Suddenly, the tokens became clear and burst forth at lightning speed!

Wu Shaogan stepped forward, reached out his hand, and quickly grabbed it—

As if countless fingers were flying through the air, when the rosy light faded and no more tokens flew out, Wu Shaogan was holding a bundle in his hand.

Zhong Cai happily leaned closer and looked into the bundle.

Sure enough, inside were clusters of glowing access tokens piled together!

Zhong Cai immediately began to take inventory.

He first picked up the largest number of silver tokens.

This is precisely the pass between the top continent and other continents. By infusing it with profound energy and then imbuing it with the intention to travel to a certain continent, one can be directly teleported there.

When you want to return to the top continent, you can simply use this item to return the way you came.

Conversely, if the intention is to teleport from another continent to a top-tier continent, the same procedure can be followed.

However, after one round trip, the token will turn into dust and become completely useless.

Zhong Cai counted them: five grains of Void Sand, forged by the Weapon Pool with utmost effort and without wasting any materials, resulting in a total of thirty-five one-time top-tier access tokens!

Besides these, there were also three tokens that shimmered with golden light.

This means it can be used multiple times.

Zhong Cai took out a golden token, stroked it, sensed its function, and revealed a bright smile: "Old Wu, this thing can save your life! I'll ask that brat if he wants to buy one later?"

Wu Shaogan picked up all three golden tokens and examined them, then smiled.

"That brat will probably write an IOU."

·

The gold token can be used multiple times. If it's for teleportation between other continents and top-tier continents, it can be used ten times.

In addition, after infusing profound energy, one can also teleport on the same continent.

Of course, it can only teleport you to places where there are no obstacles such as restrictions, formations, or strong people's domains.

However, there is one advantage: because this thing contains gentle spatial energy, normal teleportation will repel spatial rifts, meaning it won't send people into the rifts—that comes at a different "price," as it wastes a "great teleportation" opportunity!

Therefore, no matter how unlucky Wu Dongxiao is, using this thing can still increase his chances of survival.

·

And that's exactly what happened.

Upon receiving this news, Wu Dongxiao couldn't wait to come and buy the token.

At the same time, he also bought one for his senior.

As for the remaining piece... Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan took it directly to offer as a tribute to their master, Sang Yunchu, who currently had the lowest martial arts skills among them.
