Chapter 100 Zhong Cai's Daily School Life
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhong Cai endured her discomfort and busied herself, quickly gouging out all the "eyeballs" without making a single mistake from beginning to end.
Then he continued the process with utmost seriousness, letting his eyeballs collide with each other...
Ultimately, he achieved the same result as Master Mei Su Dan.
Toxic root nodules, obtained!
·
Zhong Cai breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
That was incredibly dangerous!
The contents of his eyeballs almost popped out!
Master Mei Su Dan reminded, "There's no need to cut it open. The usable medicinal materials inside the root nodule can be taken when refining the elixir."
Zhong Cai immediately put down the knife in her hand, as if she had no intention of taking the "eyeball" at all.
·
The other disciples watched with trepidation.
As they watched, they pondered the process in their minds, as if they themselves had tried it once.
Once Zhong Cai had finished, Master Mei Su smiled and praised, "Not bad! Junior Brother Zhong learns very quickly, and his technique is quite good." He then looked around and said in a slightly sterner voice, "My fellow disciples, why aren't you going to try it yourself?"
Upon hearing this, the other alchemists could only quickly look at the Nine-Eyed Earth Root in front of them.
hiss--
It's still a long story.
but……
You still have to get started.
·
Zhong Cai has a close relationship with the entire Mei family faction, but it's actually quite difficult to address him properly.
Logically, people in the same faction would address each other according to their seniority. However, Sang Yunchu was only in charge of the Mei family faction and had no master-disciple relationship with anyone in the Mei family. Therefore, the Mei family faction would not address him as "Grandmaster" or anything like that, but would still call him "Master Sang" or "Mentor Sang".
But in fact, the Mei family faction respects Sang Yunchu as their patriarch.
Zhong Cai became a disciple of Master Sang Dan, but he had no master-disciple relationship with the Mei family faction.
Therefore, the alchemists in the Mei family should be addressed according to the academy's rules, such as the time they entered the academy and their age.
If they are all still disciples of the academy, then they are naturally fellow disciples.
Mentors usually address their disciples as "master and nephew".
But since Zhong Cai came to teach, it wasn't appropriate for the fifth-level alchemist from the Mei family faction to call him "junior nephew"—otherwise, wouldn't she be considered to be of the same generation as Sang Yunchu? That would be far too presumptuous.
Thus, Zhong Cai ended up being the only "junior brother," while everyone else was a "junior nephew."
And the "junior apprentice" also calls Zhong Cai his junior brother...
·
But let's get back to the point.
The numerous alchemists could no longer delay and patiently began to process the medicine!
Compared to Zhong Cai's ease of use, other alchemists often failed.
Let alone someone like Zhong Cai who had a smooth run, they had to get stuck at every stage from beginning to end.
Either the soft skin was peeled off directly at the beginning, or too much force was used, causing the eyeball to "die" halfway, or even if it was finally peeled off intact, the eyeball was popped out while trying to remove it.
The worst part is that, even if you manage to pop it open, which is just disgusting, some people happen to pop out a poisonous "eyeball," and the outcome is much more tragic.
In just a moment, the poison spread from the palm that was stained with it all the way up, turning the alchemist's entire body black.
It also caused stinging pain, nausea, and general weakness...
Therefore, before the detoxification pill could even be refined, one had to be taken first.
·
Zhong Cai finished his own work, and now it was finally his turn to "appreciate" others.
He was amused by the sight of so many alchemists scrambling around.
However, it's not good to make fun of others, so Zhong Cai tried hard to hold it in, her expression quite complicated.
Wow.
Demons danced wildly.
Seeing too much of this really makes you feel like you're losing your mind.
At this moment, a shadow fell over Zhong Cai.
It was none other than Master Mei Su Dan.
She took out another box and placed it in front of Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai looked down.
Silence fell.
Inside the box was, surprisingly, a nine-eyed earth root!
Zhong Cai's expression was somewhat grave.
Master Mei Su said, "Junior Brother Zhong, each of you must complete five today."
Zhong Cai's lips twitched slightly.
Master Mei Su continued, "This ingredient will be indispensable when refining the antidote pills tomorrow and the day after."
Zhong Cai pondered for a moment and said, "Does Senior Sister Mei mean that this kind of auxiliary medicine will appear in multiple pill formulas?"
Mei Su nodded: "That's right." She then elaborated, "Three kinds."
Zhong Cai reflected on her own legacy.
He had only carefully examined the selected pill formulas, but now that he was paying a little more attention to the ordinary ones... there were indeed several other antidote pills among them.
However, only two of them require the Nine-Eyed Earth Root.
Sister Mei will talk about three kinds, which means that one of them will definitely be unfamiliar.
Zhong Cai became somewhat interested.
Now, when I look at the Nine-Eyed Earth Root again, I no longer feel any chills.
This thing has quite a lot of value.
Next, Zhong Cai picked up another nine-eyed root and processed it quickly.
With his previous experience, he was even more skilled this time.
Before long, while the other alchemists were still struggling with several difficult points, Zhong Cai had already collected three correct "poisonous eyeballs".
Seeing that Zhong Cai made no mistakes, Master Mei Su Dan replenished him with new Nine-Eyed Earth Roots every time he finished processing something.
After Zhong Cai handled it a few times, he was almost able to multitask.
As he gouged out his eyeballs, he thought to himself, "I'll study this thing again when I get back. I'll have Old Wu goug them out!"
Anyway, he's not stingy anymore.
They've been incredibly stingy here.
·
Gradually, more than half an hour passed.
The alchemists continued to overcome difficulties, their expressions changing from being full of struggle to being expressionless, and finally to looking completely blank.
Although the touch of this thing is enough to make your scalp tingle, won't you eventually become numb after a while?
It was at this time that we finally managed to get one sorted out.
She is a very outstanding young woman in the Mei family faction.
She also obtained the badge, but her ranking on the Danbang Stele was not high.
After successfully obtaining a non-toxic root nodule, the girl let out a long sigh of relief.
From childhood to adulthood, ever since she started learning how to process medicinal herbs, she had never been so disheveled!
Then, she quickly looked towards the other alchemists.
Seeing that many alchemists were still in a bit of a daze, she felt a little happy.
However, when the girl saw Zhong Cai in front of her, her smile froze.
There were at least dozens of eyeballs in that box!
The girl silently did the math.
At the fastest processing speed for this kind of auxiliary medicine, this junior brother Zhong probably didn't fail once and kept processing it non-stop to get so much!
We're all alchemists, isn't Junior Brother Zhong a bit too powerful?
·
Zhong Cai noticed the gazes of others, casually tossed another eyeball into the box, and turned to look.
Then he saw a girl looking at him and then at the box, her expression a little strange.
Zhong Cai: "..."
Actually, once you get used to it, this thing is somewhat stress-relieving.
But his mental state is normal.
real.
·
The girl quickly continued picking at it.
Zhong Cai wasn't idle either. He was thinking wildly about what would happen to Lao Wu afterward. Besides continuing to be stingy, he also put a lot of thought into the inheritance he had obtained from the Poison King.
It introduces many poisons.
The explanation of the Nine-Eyed Earth Root is not much different from that in the altar inheritance, but the alchemists will not only fight against one kind of poison on this day. Zhong Cai will also "preview" more poisons in advance...
·
Perhaps because the Nine-Eyed Earth Root is the most difficult to prepare, Master Mei Su placed this thing first and gave it a full hour to process.
When the time comes, those who haven't learned the rest will have to be temporarily abandoned.
According to the rules, five should be dealt with; those that didn't succeed at all or didn't meet the required number should all go back to "do their homework".
Zhong Cai, who had completed the task in class, and several other outstanding disciples sensed the resentment of the remaining alchemists and controlled their expressions.
This situation is actually quite funny.
Then, Master Mei Sudan continued her explanation.
"Now we'll talk about the second adjuvant."
As they were speaking, another jade box appeared in front of Master Mei Su.
Inside was a dark green medicinal herb shaped like a human hand.
Master Mei Su Dan said, "Azure Poison Hand."
A very straightforward naming convention.
With a layer of profound energy covering his fingers, Master Mei Su gently grasped the short stem at the bottom of the medicinal herb, while with his other hand he took out a long needle and inserted it between the fingers of "Green Poison Hand".
Zhong Cai instinctively gripped her own hand.
The other alchemists did almost the same thing as him.
At this moment, all the alchemists shared the same thought.
—My hand! It hurts so much!
·
A lot of bluish-black liquid flowed from the pierced fingers of the poisonous hand; it was actually the juice of this medicinal herb, which was highly toxic.
The moment it flowed out, it was caught by an open bottle.
Master Mei Su Dan pulled out the long needle and then pierced the second "finger gap" to continue extracting the herbal juice.
And so it went, time and time again, one after another.
The entire poisonous hand has been processed.
The juice in the bottle also covered the bottom.
Master Mei Su said, "Disciples, once you fill this bottle, we will be done."
This time, the task is not difficult; all that's needed is enough Green Poison Hand.
Having witnessed the bizarre Nine-Eyed Earth Root, many alchemists felt little psychological pressure when they saw the rather ugly Green Poison Hand.
Aside from the occasional phantom pain, their movements are nimble.
Master Mei Su Dan only gave half an hour this time, and those who haven't finished will have to do an extra "homework".
·
Before we knew it, most of the day had passed.
Master Mei Su Dan explained all twelve auxiliary ingredients of this "Double Mountain Detoxification Pill".
After that, she went on to explain the two main ingredients in detail.
·
Generally speaking, any poisonous medicinal herb is either extremely ugly or extremely beautiful.
In this kind of prescription, there are so many kinds of medicinal materials, but only the first two are the ugliest. Most of the others are colorful, and even though many of the colors are unpleasant to look at each other, they still have a strange beauty.
When it comes to the two main ingredients, apart from the complicated processing methods, they look quite beautiful.
The rare herbs used in second-grade elixirs must be over fifty years old, and their medicinal potency must be very high...
When the alchemists arrived at this point, they looked at the precious medicine as if they were seeing a beautiful woman.
My mood improved as a result.
·
Zhong Cai was quite familiar with both main ingredients, and didn't even need much explanation from Master Mei Su.
Because one of the main ingredients was processed in a simpler way, Master Mei Su Dan even took the initiative to try it and taught many of his disciples to switch to Zhong Cai.
The disciples were naturally happy to use the best and were very enthusiastic about learning.
Time flies by.
As evening approached, the sun began to set.
Master Mei Su finished teaching today's lesson an hour ago, and then let the alchemists exchange ideas among themselves.
The area around Zhongcai was exceptionally lively.
·
Throughout the day, all the alchemists witnessed Zhong Cai's performance.
Zhong Cai was extremely quick at processing medicinal herbs, and his acceptance rate and completion rate were always the highest.
If there were only one or two such skills, it would only mean that he just happened to be good at those. But Zhong Cai could learn every single one quickly, and he rarely failed when he got started.
This further demonstrates Zhong Cai's abilities.
As time went on, more and more alchemists paid attention to Zhong Cai and wanted to communicate with him.
When Master Mei Su was lecturing, he naturally had to endure it. Once he had finished explaining all the necessary medicinal materials, his disciples rushed to where Zhong Cai was.
In just a moment, it became completely packed.
Zhong Cai was surrounded, weak, helpless, and pitiful.
Then, feeling even more helpless, he began to answer the questions one by one...
At 5 PM, today's lessons will conclude.
Master Mei Su announced loudly, "Disciples, you may return now. When you come again tomorrow, please bring all the necessary medicinal herbs. Prepare at least five portions of each herb, or more if needed. Do not be late."
All the alchemists responded, "Yes!"
Then, Master Mei Su Dan ignored everyone else.
The other alchemists also got up, preparing to leave.
Zhong Cai breathed a sigh of relief.
Just moments before, he had demonstrated the technique of "gouging out eyeballs" to help the alchemist who still hadn't mastered it.
He hadn't picked at it for most of the day, but thankfully he was still quite skilled...
Suddenly, a strange gust of wind blew in from not far away.
Zhong Cai couldn't help but look over.
A huge, cloud-like eagle flapped its wings and flew over at great speed!
Below the head and neck of the eagle stood a tall, handsome young man.
The young man looked at Zhong Cai with a happy smile on his face.
Zhong Cai immediately beamed and raised her voice without any attempt to hide her excitement: "Old Wu, you've come to pick me up?"
Wu Shao chuckled dryly and reached out his hand to him.
Zhong Cai immediately jumped over!
The instant Wu Shaogan reached out, Zhong Cai was already close enough to shove her hand in his.
Wu Shaogan exerted a slight force.
Zhong Cai leaped up and was caught by Wu Shaogan.
In public, the two hugged briefly before separating and holding hands instead.
However, it is still very conspicuous.
Zhong Cai then turned around, still beaming, and said, "See you tomorrow, fellow senior brothers and sisters."
The other alchemists' disciples, including Alchemist Mei Su, also greeted each other.
Qingpeng's figure moved swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, it carried its two masters far away.
·
On the cliff, the many alchemists looked at each other with strange expressions.
Although it's not appropriate to be too gossipy in this serious setting, we all attend classes together frequently and already understand each other quite well.
Generally speaking, they can understand each other's thoughts.
The alchemists quickly packed their belongings and bid farewell to Alchemist Mei Su.
Once they were away from the cliff, more and more people started talking about it.
"I had heard that Junior Brother Zhong had a loving partner, and now that I see it, they are truly in love!"
"Exactly! I thought the rumors I heard before were exaggerated, but after seeing them today, it's not just not exaggerated, the news is incredibly simple!"
"That seems to be Junior Brother Wu, a very famous person."
"There are images of this person who was on the charts everywhere. I checked them out, and they really don't look like the same person as this one!"
"Anyway, those ugly men who fawn over me think they're so considerate, but none of them came to pick me up like this one did."
"It's more than just picking them up! Since we arrived early, Junior Brother Wu even personally escorted Junior Brother Zhong over!"
Finally, a young alchemist murmured, "We both have a fondness for men and have both become Daoist partners, but my partner has never picked me up or dropped me off..."
The other alchemists laughed and said, "None of us have that! Even when those guys are being the most attentive, they've never been this enthusiastic!"
·
In the vast Azure Dragon Academy, alchemists are naturally the most popular.
Any alchemist who can pass the entrance exam will be of a high standard, especially those who enter the inner academy, whose future prospects are clearly bright.
In the cultivation process, cultivators cannot do without the assistance of various medicines.
If you don't want to rack your brains to extract juices or consume raw herbs every time, it's better to befriend a master alchemist—ideally, tie them together, so they'll have priority over that alchemist in the future.
As a result, martial arts cultivators easily pursue alchemists, and alchemists are often courted by multiple martial arts cultivators at the same time.
In order to improve their alchemy skills, alchemists spend most of their time honing their skills, and the rest of their time improving their cultivation level. Relatively speaking, their combat power is not as good as that of martial arts cultivators of the same cultivation level.
Sometimes, if you want to collect medicinal herbs, you still have to hire martial arts cultivators to accompany you.
However, hiring someone is not necessarily safe, as alchemists also want to be tied to an outstanding martial arts cultivator.
In this way...
As the two sides communicated more, quite a few developed feelings for each other.
After some testing each other out, many couples, if things go smoothly, end up becoming Daoist partners.
Alchemists have more experience with this kind of "romantic encounters" than ordinary cultivators.
·
However, no amount of experience seemed to be enough when they met Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan.
After laughing for a while, the alchemists felt a little strange.
After exchanging glances, they seemed to understand each other's thoughts.
Then, all the alchemists dispersed in different directions and went home.
·
The blue roc soared swiftly.
Zhong Cai leaned against Wu Shaogan, tugging at him with one hand and gesturing with the other.
He was radiant with energy!
"Old Wu, let me tell you, that medicinal herb..."
"...It really looks like it! It's creepy..."
"I'll show you when we get back! Next time you do it, I'll teach you how..."
Wu Shaogan listened and nodded with a smile.
"The number of medicinal materials required is not many for a level-two detoxification formula."
"It's creepy, but I'm glad A-Cai is alright."
"Okay, I'll do it."
Zhong Cai quickly asked again, "Old Wu, what did you do at home today?"
Wu Shaogan said, "I will study the newly acquired secret technique and ask Master Jiang about it at the beginning of next month."
"Master Jiang hasn't returned yet, has he?"
"No."
"Even my Master Sang doesn't have one..."
The two exchanged these words as Qingpeng flew back to Duobao Peak.
·
The next day, Wu Shaogan escorted Zhong Cai to the Meijia Mountain Range again.
The two of them no longer seemed as eccentric as they had been yesterday, because this time when Qingpeng flew to the cliff, there were several birds of prey and several rare flying beasts around them.
Those birds and beasts were all carrying people.
Not only were there alchemists attending the class, but each of them was accompanied by a martial arts cultivator.
All martial arts cultivators greeted alchemists with smiles, appearing quite enthusiastic.
Zhong Cai was stunned.
this……
It's only been a day, and everyone has already brought their Daoist partners?
Perhaps some of them aren't Daoist partners, but they're all very close.
Upon seeing this, Wu Shaogan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Zhong Cai suddenly moved closer to Wu Shaogan, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the cheek.
The other alchemists: "..."
We lost again!
Only a few alchemists lightly touched the faces of the martial arts cultivators beside them.
The martial arts practitioner was taken aback, and even with his cold-blooded nature, a hint of barely perceptible pleasure appeared on his face.
·
Wu Shaogan sent Zhong Cai off the cliff.
Zhong Cai waved to him.
The two were intimate and natural with each other.
The other alchemists also went up the cliff.
Wu Shaogan quickly rode away on his Azure Roc, and the other martial arts cultivators also bid farewell to their alchemists.
This scene suddenly came into the view of Master Mei Su, who had just come out of the cave.
Master Mei Su: "..."
·
Fortunately, the martial arts cultivators left quickly, and the many alchemists also calmed down and focused their attention on Alchemist Mei Su.
Therefore, Master Mei Su first explained each step of refining the "Double Mountain Detoxification Pill" and then let all his disciples try it on their own.
She had already pointed out many of the relevant points when explaining the medicinal herbs yesterday.
The disciples' attempts at refining these past two days should be much easier than when they figured it out on their own.
Several of them are quite outstanding. I think they should be able to figure it out in two days. After going back and trying for a few more days, they should be able to produce the pill.
Of course, the most special Zhong Cai...
Master Mei Su Dan was hopeful.
Previously, she had paid attention to the Danbang Stele and personally witnessed the rapid increase in the types of pills that could be refined, as written in small characters below Zhong Cai's name.
Several kinds appeared in just one month.
With his abilities, he could probably produce the pill within two days.
In fact, the quantity and quality of the pills produced will not be too bad.
·
The day went by, and the alchemists worked very hard.
Zhong Cai did not disappoint Master Mei Sudan.
Zhong Cai is first-rate in refining techniques and in controlling the wood and fire.
Although the pills had not yet been successfully produced, Alchemist Mei Su could clearly see that Zhong Cai's last batch of pills would have been successful if the final fusion process had not been slightly delayed.
Therefore, the chances of success are really high...
·
After class that day, the lone roc outside the cliff was no longer there; just like when they arrived, many rare flying beasts appeared.
The same familiar faces of the disciples were all searching for alchemists they knew well.
Looking at the enthusiastic Zhong Cai and the gentle, smiling Wu Shaogan, the alchemists still felt that their side was a little lacking.
Oh well, as long as it's there, it's fine.
Other than that, I don't insist.
·
Zhong Cai attended classes for three consecutive days and accomplished the feat of producing the elixir in two days.
Many alchemists gave Zhong Cai their contact information and invited him to visit each other and exchange alchemical techniques at an appropriate time.
Zhong Cai agreed to all of them.
The courses these past few days have also brought him many benefits.
Through meticulous comparison, Zhong Cai memorized many kinds of poisons.
After returning home, Zhong Cai will continue refining elixirs.
At the same time, he would also set aside some time to specifically take some pills to cultivate his realm, and also let his old master Wu train him in a targeted manner.
·
Inside the training ground.
Zhong Cai wielded a meteor hammer, his chains swirling with a powerful, swift motion.
The hammer seemed to have eyes of its own, and it didn't aim at Zhong Cai at all.
Opposite Zhong Cai, Wu Shaogan suppressed his cultivation level by one level and continuously drew back the bowstring.
Countless arrows flew toward Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai's seemingly reckless meteor hammer flew wildly all over the field, ruthlessly smashing away countless arrows.
Wu Shaogan's movements remained fluid throughout.
He hasn't used his full strength yet; he's just gradually increasing the speed in this way, allowing Zhong Cai to adapt and react continuously.
Zhong Cai also did not slack off at all.
No matter how many arrows there are, they can dodge them all.
No matter how much of his profound energy was squeezed out, he persisted in swinging the hammer!
Gradually, Zhong Cai's face turned pale.
This is a sign that the Xuan energy is nearing depletion.
Zhong Cai is still trying her best to hold on.
Finally, his arms became sore and weak that he could no longer swing the hammer.
After a round trip, the meteor hammer was disarmed by Zhong using a clever force.
At this moment, Zhong Cai also felt a little unsteady on her feet.
Wu Shaogan flashed and appeared behind Zhong Cai, pulling him into his arms.
Zhong Cai leaned back lazily, not moving.
"Ugh, I'm exhausted."
A hint of heartache flashed in Wu Shaogan's eyes, but he only ruffled Zhong Cai's hair and deliberately said, "Cai, you're already not up to it? You seem a little weak."
Zhong Cai rolled her eyes: "Let's go back and drain you dry, then see if you're still weak."
Wu Shaogan: "..."
Then, he said in a serious tone, "I couldn't ask for more."
Zhong Cai tried to hold back, but couldn't help laughing out loud.
Wu Shaogan sat on the ground in this position, holding Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai yawned.
Wu Shaogan asked, "A-Cai, it's time to consider practicing your movement techniques."
Zhong Cai nodded.
He does indeed have this plan.
In fact, the two had originally planned to start when Zhong Caitian reached the peak of his cultivation, and Zhong Caitian was to practice the superior movement technique that was inherited from Wu Shaogan.
Later, due to a series of events, Zhong Cai did not find an opportunity to focus on cultivation, so she decided to wait until after she had established her palace and was in a stable period to start practicing.
Now that both of them are disciples of the Azure Dragon Academy, the academy must have a great many movement techniques stored up within it. However, Zhong Cai may not necessarily have to cultivate the one that Wu Shaogan used.
·
Zhong Cai pondered, unable to make up her mind for a moment.
Wu Shaogan's martial arts skills are indeed outstanding. His ability to overpower countless geniuses of the same realm is inseparable from his movement techniques.
However, in the past there was no need to consider this, but now the two of them have to think about it.
The movement style that suits Wu Shaogan may not suit Zhong Cai.
Sometimes, a cultivator may progress extremely slowly in one movement technique, but make rapid progress in another.
Therefore, this aspect really needs to be carefully considered.
Wu Shaogan suggested, "Let's go to Wandian Pagoda."
Zhong Cai was taken aback for a moment, then agreed: "That's right, let's go take a look."
·
The so-called Tower of Ten Thousand Classics is a place where thousands of classic books are kept.
There are seven levels in total, corresponding to the stages from the Heavenly Guidance Realm to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Each level of the tower contains countless books collected by the Azure Dragon Academy, covering a wide range of topics, including but not limited to cultivation techniques, movement techniques, secret skills, miscellaneous knowledge, and general discussions.
However, these classic texts are all divided into sections.
The tower contains a considerable number of rooms, including large, public rooms and special secret vaults.
Different rooms require different qualifications to enter.
Some spots are open to anyone, while others require mission points to unlock—those with spots assigned by mentors don't have this requirement.
Some are even more complicated.
The alchemical formulas and classic texts that Zhong Cai had previously obtained were used in the miscellaneous knowledge repository on the tower floor—a repository related to alchemy.
·
For martial arts cultivators, most of the corresponding secret archives are complete inheritances.
For example, a certain instructor of the Azure Dragon Academy was extremely skilled in swordsmanship, but he was unable to break through when his lifespan ended, or he perished halfway. If he had been prepared in advance and had the corresponding qualifications, he could have left his legacy in the Tower of Myriad Classics and obtained a special legacy vault.
If a disciple wants to inherit his legacy, he must follow his requirements.
There may be task requirements, or there may not be.
There may be assessments of qualifications and abilities, or there may not be.
In short, the secret vault of inheritance is to be controlled by the strongest individual.
For example, some powerful individuals may have fortuitous encounters while traveling and gain some kind of inheritance.
Regardless of their reasons for willingly handing over or selling their inheritance to the academy, there will be a secret vault within the Tower of Myriad Classics.
However, the requirements for such a secret vault are mostly determined by the academy after evaluation.
·
After a brief discussion, the two decided to go to Wandian Tower to make their selection.
Anyway, they all had spots given to them by their master.
If Zhong Cai takes a fancy to a particular movement technique, she can buy it—if she doesn't have enough money, she can ask her master for help.
Wu Shaogan could then compare his own movements to ensure that Zhong Cai made the right choice.
Zhong Cai said with a smile, "It would be best if you could choose correctly the first time."
Wu Shaogan kissed Zhong Cai's cheek and said with a smile, "Ah Cai has always been lucky."
Zhong Cai returned to her family.
The two cuddled together for a while.
Zhong Cai began taking Taihuang Dan to replenish his Xuan power.
Wu Shaogan then consumed a soul-binding pill and, at his fastest speed, began to fuse it with his own soul...
·
The next day.
Qinghui flicked his long silver fur and sped off with Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan in tow.
Before long, the two arrived at a valley.
Similar to the location of Zhong Cai's assessment badge, there are also tall buildings standing in a vast valley.
A massive tower that occupies a very large area!
Zhong Cai looked up and exclaimed, "Old Wu, the Azure Dragon Academy has a truly profound foundation."
Wu Shaogan smiled: "That's true."
The two put away the Azure Radiance and walked hand in hand to the front of the tower.
There is a small hall here, which is connected to the tall tower.
Many disciples come and go here, all selecting scriptures from the Myriad Classics Tower.
The two men swiped their tokens across the pillar in front of the small hall.
Then, they were no longer blocked by the formation and were able to enter the hall.
There are also many pillars inside the hall.
Zhong Cai pulled Wu Shaogan around and searched, eventually arriving at a pillar on the right.
This is the pillar that leads directly to the second level of the tower.
The two of them each took out a quota token and inserted it into the groove of the pillar—their quotas allowed them to select up to the fourth level, and they could naturally teleport to the second level.
In the blink of an eye, an invisible force enveloped the two of them.
Zhong Cai felt a slight tremor under her feet and mumbled indistinctly, "This is a teleportation elevator."
The next instant, he pulled Wu Shaogan along and disappeared in front of the pillar.
·
After a slight sway, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan regained their footing.
Before me was a very spacious room, with tall bookshelves on all four sides.
The bookshelf is divided into many layers, and each layer is filled with a considerable number of books, jade tablets, and other materials.
They are all kinds of classic books.
Many disciples lingered near the various bookshelves, seemingly searching for something.
Some disciples are already reading it.
However, this kind of browsing only allows you to see the first few pages each time; if you want to see the rest, you have to pay.
Places where money is spent...
It's a groove on the bookshelf.
Insert enough gold, silver, and black pearls into the groove, then place the cover of the retrieved book into the groove for identification, and you can continue reading.
It is extremely convenient.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan glanced over and noticed the empty space in the wall.
The words above are written in large characters: Related to cultivation techniques.
The two understood that the room contained various cultivation techniques suitable for cultivators who had reached the Palace-Opening stage.
So they didn't linger there, but went out the door and into the next room.
It is also related to cultivation techniques.
The two then went to the third room, the fourth room...
The rooms on both sides of this corridor are open, meaning any cultivator can enter and choose, without needing special quotas.
After walking for a while, the two saw mostly martial arts techniques and secret skills.
Finally, in the third to last room at the top, we found the movement technique.
The two exchanged a smile and went inside.
·
The room was also enormous, and countless movement techniques were displayed.
Zhong Cai let out a breath: "I never thought I would see so many different movement techniques at once."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly: "The movement techniques here must all be incomplete."
Zhong Cai nodded and said, "I understand. Those who appear here can only cultivate to the Palace Opening Realm."
·
The classic texts on martial arts techniques, secret skills, and movement methods are all extremely valuable.
Most of the countless classic texts that can be collected by the Azure Dragon Academy are those that can be cultivated to a high level, so it is impossible to release them all directly.
That's why this split happened.
For example, a cultivation technique that can be cultivated to the Fusion Realm might only have a fragment of the Heavenly Guidance Realm manual on the first level, fragments of the Heavenly Guidance and Palace Opening Realm manuals on the second level, and so on...
And so on.
Only at the fifth level is the entire fifth-order cultivation technique completed.
This also makes it convenient for the disciples to make purchases.
After all, it would be too much of a loss for Azure Dragon Academy to give it away for free.
Moreover, disciples who receive a great deal of benefit without paying a corresponding price are easily dissatisfied and may cause a great waste.
