Chapter 103 Long Xiaofei's Decision
After finishing up the last few things, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan returned to Canglong Academy and resumed their cultivation and classes as usual.
The two were just ordinary disciples in the Azure Dragon Academy, but news about them was still spreading in many cities.
·
Huyue City, Longyou Trading Company.
Another pleasant day has passed. Surrounded by handsome men, Long Xiaofei enjoys delicious food and feels completely relaxed and happy.
Suddenly, her trusted confidant Qian Gao walked in. Without even glancing at the other male concubines, he immediately reported, "Miss, news has come from the family that they are summoning clansmen from all over to return and celebrate the family's chosen one."
Long Xiaofei casually opened her eyes, yawned, and asked, "What are you celebrating? Is it another breakthrough in strength, or someone's birthday? Or has someone suddenly discovered some amazing adventure, or has some business made a fortune?"
Qian Gao immediately said, "Three members of our clan have been admitted to the Azure Dragon Academy, and one of them has already entered the inner courtyard and successfully become a disciple of a master in the late stage of the Palace Constructing realm."
Long Xiaofei's thoughts wandered for a moment before she finally managed to recall what Azure Dragon Academy was.
In the original book... oh, I think there was such a background academy.
Thinking about the future, Long Xiaofei nodded casually: "There's no need to go back, right? Sending a generous gift will suffice."
Qian Gao said, "The family specifically mentioned Miss. Other family members may be allowed to do so, but Miss must go back."
Long Xiaofei immediately sat up, puzzled, and said, "I don't understand this at all. What does it have to do with me?"
Qian Gao sighed: "This is probably related to the young master."
Long Xiaofei was completely flustered, her eyelids twitching: "How did we get dragged into this again?"
Qian Gao said, "Young Master has already been admitted to Canglong Academy, and has quickly risen to eighth place on the Hidden Dragon List..."
·
It's no wonder Long Xiaofei didn't know, because no one from Huyue City was admitted to Canglong Academy. Among the surrounding cities, only Kunyun City and Beitong City had erected stone tablets, so it would take a lot of time for the news to reach Huyue City.
In addition, Long Xiaofei herself is a pleasure-loving person, so even if someone wanted to curry favor with her, they wouldn't deliberately pass on such trivial "news" to her.
Therefore, Long Xiaofei only got the news from Qian Gao now.
Moreover, after the Long family members deduced and summarized the information, it became quite accurate and detailed.
·
Qian Gao continued:
"Young Master Zhong's Daoist partner, Alchemist Zhong, is also exceptionally skilled; she is already a Level Two Alchemist capable of refining top-grade pills..."
"The Dragon family's prodigies have spread the word within the academy, mentioning all the prominent figures in the inner courtyard that they know of. Among them, the young master and his Daoist partner are deeply in love, and they have both become disciples of a Spirit Transformation expert..."
"Their masters are also quite extraordinary. The young master is the number one person below Nirvana Realm, while Master Zhong is the only disciple of a half-step Pill Emperor..."
The more Long Xiaofei listened, the wider her eyes widened.
Seriously??
How the hell can you explain this? No wonder he's the Mirror Master from the original book? He was suppressed to the Profound Rank and no longer had that mirror that could see into the heavens and the earth, yet he still managed to achieve this level and even made his path smoother?
It's a pity that Wu Shaogan's male wife also had this ability, but in the original book, this person didn't get to rise to prominence.
However, they really did become a loving couple?
Long Xiaofei originally thought that Jingzun would never be in a relationship, but now that she heard this, it seems that's not entirely true.
The world is constantly changing. Although Wu Shaogan's life has had its ups and downs, he is still quite successful. Perhaps he has this idea in mind?
·
Qian Gao then brought up Wu Shaogan's revenge, and recounted the subsequent events in detail.
As Long Xiaofei listened to Qian Gao's explanation, her pupils dilated in shock.
I never expected that the Dai and Meng families, who clung to life for so long in the original book and met a tragic end, would actually survive now? Although it was a slow and insidious process, having to watch their families decline, they still managed to stay alive overall. They were lucky!
The charming young master in love and the lonely, empty-nest uncle, Jing Zun, are quite different...
Qian Gao finally finished speaking.
After her initial shock subsided, Long Xiaofei pulled herself together and said expressionlessly, "Oh, he is indeed a very powerful person, but that still has nothing to do with me. He doesn't even know me!"
Suddenly, Long Xiaofei thought of something and said with a conflicted look, "Does the family want to use some kind of honey trap? Of course I'm a beauty, but surely they don't expect me to seduce Wu Shaogan?"
Qian Gao's face twitched.
He couldn't understand why the young lady would resort to the honey trap.
Not to mention that the young master already has a loving partner, and that alchemist Zhong has a very strong backing. Why would the Long family send a beauty to sow discord? Even if the Long family really has such a fool, they wouldn't send a young lady with a bunch of handsome men in their backyard!
Long Xiaofei naturally saw Qian Gao's expression and immediately chuckled awkwardly, saying, "Just kidding, just kidding."
She just had a momentary lapse in judgment. Her family knows what kind of person she is, and there's no way they would give Wu Shaogan a bunch of cuckolds.
Qian Gao was afraid that his young mistress would say something shocking again, so he quickly blurted out the rest of what he had to say.
"Didn't Miss receive a large number of high-quality Soul Nourishing Pills in the past? It's very likely that they were all refined by Alchemist Zhong."
Long Xiaofei was taken aback.
Qian Gao said, "When Young Master Shao Gan suffered a spiritual injury, he must have been in great pain. In order to alleviate his pain, Master Zhong refined more pills. It was only reasonable for him to sell the ones that did not reach the highest quality to the young lady."
Long Xiaofei's expression turned solemn: "Are you sure?" She immediately added, "It makes perfect sense."
Qian Gao said, "It's not certain, but it's highly likely."
·
Since Zhong Cai was chosen by a seventh-level alchemist and obtained so many badges in the academy, it is perfectly reasonable that he has a high level of skill in refining first-level Soul Nourishing Pills.
Given that such a high-level alchemist appeared in Huyue City, and Zhong Cai happened to have stayed in a nearby city for quite some time, and Wu Shaogan just happened to need such pills, it can be basically confirmed that it was him.
The fact that Wu Shaogan recovered and there were no more large quantities of Soul Nourishing Pills for sale seems to further illustrate this point.
·
Long Xiaofei let out a breath, feeling very confident.
It's precisely because Wu Shaogan's male wife has devoted so much effort to him that Wu Shaogan hasn't completely turned to the dark side, and it's normal for him to be redeemed.
Isn't that how it's written in many novels?
It's still quite in line with human nature.
After all, even if he is the Mirror Lord, he is just a madman who does whatever he wants, is unreasonable, unpredictable, and prone to bloodshed; he is not some world-destroying villain.
Long Xiaofei composed herself and said, "Is it because the family feels that I have some connection with them that they want to transfer me to the Azure Dragon Academy?"
Qian Gao replied, "Very likely."
Long Xiaofei pondered.
Qian Gao waited quietly.
·
Long Xiaofei believed the news brought by Qian Gao.
Qian Gao isn't very talented, and his physical attributes are mediocre, but he does have his strengths.
Qian Gao handled many of Long Xiaofei's miscellaneous tasks in an orderly manner, and he was also good at gathering information and cultivating connections.
Qian Gao just said so much, but it certainly wasn't a detailed explanation from the Long family. He probably just gave a general overview and then gave Long Xiaofei the order to return.
Qian Gaoneng's detailed explanation suggests that he not only inquired from various sources but also repeatedly checked and confirmed the information through his connections within the Long family.
·
Long Xiaofei didn't really want to get close to Wu Shaogan.
The reason remains the same: stay away and you'll live longer.
At the same time, she was also wondering what the transmigrator who had tricked Wu Shaogan was thinking.
Long Xiaofei touched her chin.
It doesn't seem to matter much, since Wu Shaogan couldn't possibly know the plot anyway.
Let's see if that transmigrator will continue to cause trouble for Young Master Wu... But she thinks that if that person is smart enough, he shouldn't do anything more.
Wu Shaogan is currently on the path of a chosen one of heaven. No matter how powerful he becomes, he's still a normal person. At most, he'll just become another Transcendent Realm expert in the future, which would be more beneficial to their state.
Hopefully, that fellow countryman is a rational person.
·
Long Xiaofei took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and said, "Even if the Long family's guess is correct, and even if I go to Canglong City, I may not be able to establish a relationship with Wu Shaogan and his wife. My relationship with them is just a simple transaction."
Qian Gao said, "But in the end, a good relationship has been formed." He thought for a moment and continued, "Those two are both very sentimental and kind-hearted people."
Long Xiaofei spat out a mouthful of tea and exclaimed, "Soft-hearted and kind-hearted?"
The former Mirror Master was kind and gentle—what an outrageous joke!
Qian Gao didn't understand Long Xiaofei's point and thought it was about Wu Shaogan taking revenge. He quickly said, "Young Master Shaogan almost fell into despair, and he didn't implicate any innocent people. He's already very kind."
Long Xiaofei's lips twitched.
Qian Gao continued, "Moreover, although the young master was not treated well in the Wu family after his fall, they still took him away to raise him after discovering that his nephew Wu Dongxiao was being bullied."
"Young Master Dongxiao is now participating in the assessment alongside Young Master Shaogan, and has become a disciple of an extremely outstanding Palace Constructing expert, Wan Tianfeng. His senior brother, Xuan Bing, has already made it onto the Azure Dragon Ranking at a young age, showing extremely high potential..."
Long Xiaofei's expression immediately changed.
"Wait!" she interrupted immediately. "Who did you say? Who is Wu Dongxiao? Who is his master? Who is his senior brother?"
Upon being asked the same question again, Long Xiaofei's pupils dilated in shock once more.
The shock was so intense it felt like my eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
Qian Gao didn't quite understand, but he still honestly repeated it.
Long Xiaofei: "..."
Hahaha.
Great, the protagonist's path has also changed drastically.
The funny thing is, the protagonist was actually being taken care of by Xuan Bing!
Who is Xuan Bing? He is a young and powerful man who is forced to become the protagonist's enemy because of a falling out with his elders, and who shares the protagonist's temperament!
Who is Wan Tianfeng? She is the mortal enemy of the scheming master whom the protagonist apprenticed under, causing her disciple to ruthlessly attack the protagonist while also protecting him!
As a result, we've become a family.
It's a mess, everything's a complete mess.
Such a brilliant touch! The plot about the protagonist being hit by a butterfly must take up at least half the book!
·
Qian Gao was still patiently explaining to Long Xiaofei: "As long as you can befriend the young master and his wife, you can also befriend several powerful factions within the inner court of Canglong Academy. Moreover, their future is clearly promising. Making friends with them early will almost always bring benefits."
Long Xiaofei suppressed her emotions and calmed down.
In fact, she understood very well that her family also knew that it was absurd to expect her to befriend Wu Shaogan and his family based on a seemingly existing business relationship. However, her acquisition of the Soul Nourishing Pill back then should have been considered as helping in some way, which was better than trying to build a relationship with someone who had no connection at all.
After all, the interests involved are too great.
Now, things can no longer be done according to Long Xiaofei's wishes.
Even if Long Xiaofei really wanted to stay far away from Jingzun and the protagonist, she was able to live such a good life because of the protection of the Long family.
Therefore, when the Long family needs her help, she absolutely cannot refuse.
·
Long Xiaofei sighed.
What else could she do?
Long Xiaofei sighed and said, "Alright, pack your things and let's head to the family."
Seeing Long Xiaofei's reaction, Qian Gao readily replied, "Your subordinate will go and prepare immediately."
The preparations for this trip were actually quite complicated.
Long Xiaofei had too much luggage, and she also had a huge backyard.
She considered herself a responsible woman; she would give what she was entitled to, and she would take away those she hadn't yet grown tired of...
The male concubines in the backyard also had a lot of things to take with them...
·
The Zhong family.
Zhong Guanlin felt a little nervous after sending the letter away.
He brought almost half of his fortune with him this time, just to show his support for his son and strengthen their father-son bond.
But he couldn't be sure how effective it would be.
For several days in a row, Zhong Guanlin did not go to the backyard to seek pleasure.
Most of the time, Zhong Guanlin spent his time with Luo Fengxian, watching her two children practice martial arts and chatting with her to pass the time.
Luo Fengxian also understood Zhong Guanlin's feelings.
Moreover, although she could roughly guess that Zhong Cai would give her face, the difference in their status was too great, and she still had concerns.
While Luo Fengxian was offering gentle words of comfort to Zhong Guanlin, she was also comforting herself.
During this period, the Luo family also took the initiative to invite Luo Fengxian and her sons back to the Luo family home.
The Luo family also regrets their decision not to choose the right person.
However, this matter was limited to the Luo family and Luo Fengxian and her son, and it was not immediately reported to Zhong Cai. For the Luo family, it was enough to show goodwill to Luo Fengxian and her son again so that they would not have any grudges.
However, the Luo family had already given up hope of continuing to follow Zhong Cai, as that hope had already been dashed.
Luo Fengxian enjoyed a very prestigious visit to her family home, which further solidified her belief that her family would consult her opinion on everything they did thereafter.
This is also a good thing for Luo Fengxian.
·
At this moment, a man in a blue robe came to visit.
Zhong Guanlin immediately invited the person in.
The man in the blue robe simply delivered the items and left quickly.
Zhong Guanlin and Luo Fengxian took out all the necessary items.
They all breathed a sigh of relief.
These are all good products, and they're the kind of good products you can't buy nearby.
However, what's more important now is not the value of the items themselves, but that Zhong Cai treats them as always.
Zhong Guanlin was in a good mood.
Luo Fengxian also smiled.
They all understood what Zhong Cai meant.
Luo Fengxian said softly, "Husband, the Zhong family also needs to be restrained."
Zhong Guanlin nodded: "Madam is right to remind me, I will keep that in mind."
The couple now wields considerable influence within the Zhong family.
They will surely have their own ideas about how the Zhong family should develop in the future.
·
Deep in the mountains, within an enormous depression.
The surrounding area was shrouded in mist, with thick black clouds enveloping the area for hundreds of miles, making it resemble an abyss.
If someone were to look closely, they would notice a strange building peeking out from behind the thick clouds.
The building seemed to be on the ground, yet it also seemed to be below an abyss.
The area around the building was littered with the corpses of countless savage beasts.
The mist covered the corpses, and soon drained them of their flesh and blood.
The body turned into skeletons.
Further away, many more savage beasts charged forward madly, disappearing into the thick clouds.
But then, they collapsed to the ground, dead.
Then came another round of draining flesh and blood, leaving behind only withered bones.
The mist can absorb all the essence from the beasts, leaving only the still-forming remnants. After a few more years of erosion, it will immediately turn to ashes.
·
This is a large tomb.
A large tomb that has only recently appeared, passed down from ancient times, and has already awakened.
The tomb exuded a powerful aura, which also carried a rather sinister feel.
that is……
It doesn't look like the tomb of a respectable person.
·
The tomb contains numerous traps and mechanisms scattered throughout its many passageways, which are intricate and fraught with danger.
One of the wide tomb passages was crowded with strangely shaped skeletons, emitting countless howls as they rushed down one after another.
As they cried out, it was as if countless sound waves were spreading outwards.
Wherever the sound waves passed, many boulders shattered, and then burst forth in all directions like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden.
The power generated by the burst is also very great, almost equivalent to that of a cultivator at the Enlightenment or Suspension Illumination realm!
In addition, sharp arrows and long spears rained down from high above, all extremely sharp and accompanied by a terrifying whistling sound.
If a cultivator is hit by these things, he will suddenly turn into a hedgehog with thousands of holes in his body.
These mechanisms and skeletons are attacking the enemies who have broken into this great tomb.
·
A burly man, almost like a small giant, walked at the front of the tomb passage, his fist slamming out.
A massive fist shadow appeared, instantly spreading in all directions and sweeping away everything around it.
All skulls and other objects within the range of the fist's shadow were reduced to dust.
All the small stones that tried to fly out also vanished into thin air.
Behind the burly man, a slender young man strolled leisurely.
The young man had a relaxed demeanor. Although he seemed to have little strength, he walked on the uneven ground as if it were flat ground, showing no signs of life.
The burly man walked for a while, smashing countless chaotic attacks, and then shouted impatiently, "Is this ever going to end?! It's been almost a month, and this godforsaken place still isn't over!"
The thin young man said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Jiang, you've worked hard. But it's only Senior Brother Jiang's strength that makes me feel at ease."
The burly man fell silent.
The thin young man said gently, "Senior Brother Jiang's strength has increased again. When we get back, I will refine the Azure Sea Pill to make Senior Brother Jiang's transformation of his primordial embryo smoother."
The burly man said in a muffled voice, "Alright, I'll keep fighting. You watch the path. I've beaten up so many scumbags in this godforsaken place, it's about time I finished."
The thin young man smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang."
Then, the burly man buried himself in his work and quickened his pace.
Before long, after walking through this tomb passage, another tomb passage appeared ahead.
The burly man didn't complain; he simply stepped forward and began the next round of sweeping.
Anyway, the attacks were all pretty much the same, hitting him was like tickling him. The reason he couldn't move at top speed was because he had to protect the delicate and slow-reacting person behind him.
There are tomb passages after tomb passages; mechanically striking them is really troublesome...
Regardless, they have already opened up hundreds of tomb passages, and they are certain that these passages are genuine.
So, no matter how enormous this tomb is, it should be close to the end by now.
·
These two people were Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang.
After each of them accepted disciples, they assigned tasks to each other.
The mission has a one-month deadline, and the two disciples will likely spend a significant amount of time on it.
Because of the husband-and-wife relationship between the disciples, Sang Yunchu quickly went to Jiang Chongguang to strengthen their bond—inviting him to accompany him to pick rare herbs.
Jiang Chongguang had been hired many times before. This time, he said it was to build relationships, but isn't it still the same old story?
However, when he heard that Zhong Cai was the disciple Sang Yunchu had taken on, he felt a bit closer to Sang Yunchu.
The two then went out together.
Sang Yunchu wanted a level eight rare medicine, so they had to go deep into the mountains.
So the two discussed it and headed to the largest mountain range in the state.
The journey was initially very smooth. Under Jiang Chongguang's powerful suppression, Sang Yunchu was able to obtain almost anything he wanted.
Just when Sang Yunchu felt it was time to return to the academy, a rift suddenly appeared in the mountains, revealing a large tomb.
The tomb was surrounded by a poisonous fog, which seemed to be alive.
Sang Yunchu was very knowledgeable and quickly figured out what this thing was. At the same time, he developed a strong interest in the tomb itself.
·
This poisonous fog is parasitic on tombs.
If it can be formed, it means that the owner of the tomb was at least a Nirvana Realm expert, and the tomb has existed for a very long time, at least 50,000 years.
Moreover, the poisonous fog only guards the outer perimeter of the tomb, while the large amount of flesh and blood absorbed will sink into the tomb, providing energy for the tomb's own formation and promoting the growth of precious herbs within the tomb!
Wouldn't this mean that the tomb would contain a lot of rare level-nine medicines?
If a rare medicine has been around for more than 10,000 years, it is very likely to be a level nine rare medicine!
·
As an outstanding alchemist, how could Sang Yunchu not covet it?
Although the tomb must be very dangerous, so many years have passed, and many of the traps must have been weakened. Plus, he has the tough and resilient Jiang Chongguang by his side. It's the perfect opportunity.
If we miss this opportunity, other powerful individuals will likely discover it soon and seize it.
Even if Sang Yunchu could still get a share of the pie by virtue of his level eight power, he wouldn't get the greatest benefit.
·
After listening to Sang Yunchu's analysis, Jiang Chongguang also felt that it was worth a try.
Now that their disciples act as a bridge, the relationship between the two no longer needs to be so clearly defined, and their mutual trust can be further strengthened.
Thus, under Jiang Chongguang's protection, Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang ventured into the tomb together.
Just as Sang Yunchu had predicted, the tomb was indeed fraught with danger, but it was not insurmountable for them.
Jiang Chongguang's strength was basically enough to sweep them all away, while Sang Yunchu had a large number of defensive items.
Unfortunately, even if you have enough strength, the various levels in the tomb itself are very complex.
Jiang Chongguang swept through the competition, but he couldn't find any tricks to it.
Sang Yunchu had tried to find a trick, but the owner of this tomb was quite cunning. Even after using the trick to avoid some risks, these risks would still continue to appear later, which would only increase the difficulty.
The two decided to use a simpler method.
Anyway, it's just about spending all the time and effort to grind it out.
Regardless of where they are taken after each tomb passage is cleared, they should just continue destroying the tomb passages.
If it can't be destroyed in a day or two, surely ten days or half a month won't be enough?
If that still doesn't work, keep going.
·
Thus, the two Spirit Transformation experts, who originally planned to return to teach their disciples within a month, were unexpectedly delayed for half a month and had to fight again.
Jiang Chongguang lacked patience, and over time, he would occasionally lose his temper.
But Sang Yunchu has a nice way of speaking, and she can always successfully calm Jiang Chongguang down.
Jiang Chongguang then began a new round of work.
·
A few more days passed.
After clearing another tomb passage, Jiang Chongguang stepped forward, ready to enter the new one.
But to his surprise, he lost his footing!
Sang Yunchu immediately reached out and pulled Jiang Chongguang back.
Jiang Chongguang quickly flipped over and jumped up.
The surrounding environment changed, and the two found themselves on a cliff.
Ahead lay an empty valley, and opposite was a short passage connecting several tomb chambers.
Sang Yunchu smiled gently: "Senior Brother Jiang, hard work pays off, we've arrived."
Jiang Chongguang also let out a breath and threw a punch in delight.
Of course, it was smashed from the void and did not touch the physical body.
Because Jiang Chongguang has a volatile temper, he had previously become violent in the tomb passage and even punched the wall of the passage, causing the entire tomb to shake violently and almost burying the two of them alive.
Sang Yunchu naturally stepped in to stop him and offered a long explanation.
Jiang Chongguang was reminded several times before he finally developed the habit of not hitting the walls, not trying to destroy the entire tomb, only hitting the air, and not using his Xuan power.
Sang Yunchu smiled and said, "We should still ask Senior Brother Jiang to go and investigate first."
Jiang Chongguang readily agreed, "No problem!"
Sang Yunchu took out a pill and handed it to Jiang Chongguang.
Jiang Chongguang took it directly.
This wasn't the first time. Sang Yunchu had given out a universal talisman for warding off evil and detoxifying, which could resolve most negative states and reduce external dangers after consumption.
Jiang Chongguang knew it was a good thing, and because he always took the pills, he thought that Master Sang was a kind person.
Then, as expected, Jiang Chongguang flashed to the other side, and indeed some wandering, strange auras invaded, but they were all isolated by the effects of the pill.
Jiang Chongguang looked around for a while before beckoning Sang Yunchu over.
Sang Yunchu leaped forward and landed lightly on the flat ground opposite.
The two went directly into the main burial chamber.
If there are any good things in this tomb, they should all be in these few burial chambers.
·
Looking up, the energy of heaven and earth in front of them was extremely rich and rushed towards them.
Even the two Spirit Transformation experts felt a strange attraction at this moment.
Fortunately, both of them had taken pills and had strong wills, so they quickly regained their composure.
At that moment, they all saw the giant tree growing in the center of the tomb.
It was enormous, with very thick roots that penetrated deep into the tomb.
The giant tree itself was blood red, and it had absorbed an unknown amount of flesh and blood, emitting an eerie red light.
It was as if countless streams of blood were flowing through its body, making it seem like a living thing.
Sang Yunchu was also somewhat taken aback: "Blood Bone Tree?"
Jiang Chongguang hissed, "What the hell? The name sounds creepy! Is this what you're looking for?"
Sang Yunchu glanced at Jiang Chongguang and said softly, "Although the name is strange, it's a good thing."
Jiang Chongguang curled his lip: "I've never heard of it either. What good stuff is it?"
Sang Yunchu said, "It is a grade nine rare medicine."
Jiang Chongguang muttered, "Even if it's a level nine rare medicine, it's not that special."
Sang Yunchu sighed, "Senior Brother Jiang, look at the fruit on the tree."
Jiang Chongguang looked up.
Among the dense branches, countless blood-red fruits appeared.
Each fruit resembled a skull, its eyes gleaming with a bluish-green light.
Just looking at its shape makes it even more bizarre.
Jiang Chongguang asked, puzzled, "So what? It's just weird, nothing but weird."
Sang Yunchu's smile froze slightly, but she still explained, "These are Blood Bone Immortal Fruits, and each one has a different medicinal effect."
Jiang Chongguang still looked puzzled.
Sang Yunchu took a deep breath: "In other words, no matter what kind of ninth-grade pill I refine, as long as I lack a certain non-main ingredient, I can use one or several Blood Bone Immortal Fruits to replace it..."
·
At the college.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan's lives returned to normal, and they continued their daily cultivation routine.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
During this period, Zhong Cai divided his time into two parts: one part was dedicated to practicing martial arts and secret techniques, and the other part was focused on alchemy.
Every day, Zhong Cai would open the furnace ten times.
Yes, because he has broken through to the Palace-Opening Realm, the time required for each furnace is less, so the number of furnaces can naturally be increased.
For Zhong Cai, improving his alchemy skills is now of utmost importance.
He didn't want to spend ten years breaking through to the third level—he wanted to refine a pill suitable for his old man as soon as possible!
After all, level three pills are already very expensive, and top-grade level three pills are even more so.
If they keep buying top-grade level 3 pills from the academy, it will cost too much money, and it would be too much of a loss for them.
In addition to drawing second-level top-grade purification talismans, Wu Shaogan is also researching third-level purification talismans.
The other half of his time is spent figuring out the secret techniques he has come up with, constantly strengthening and refining them.
During this time, he accumulated a lot of questions and visited many places that offered courses, but based on those brief introductions, he could tell that they were of no use to the evolution of his secret technique.
Therefore, the best way is to ask the master.
Unfortunately, after that one meeting after I joined the sect, my master left and didn't return for a long time.
It's been more than two months already...
After encountering a bottleneck, Wu Shaogan had no choice but to temporarily put it aside and focus his energy on cultivating other secret techniques.
Gradually, he made a lot of progress.
At the same time, due to the continuous replenishment of his soul with soul-nourishing pills, his absorption rate of the celestial soul increased significantly.
Despite the short time allotted and the limited time he devoted to absorbing the Heavenly Soul each day, Wu Shaogan completed the task quickly.
He broke through to the second level of the Enlightenment Realm.
At the same time, Zhong Cai's alchemy skills were also constantly improving.
·
After many days of arduous training, both of them were finally somewhat exhausted.
Zhong Cai pulled Wu Shaogan along as they entered the ancient city.
Deep inside the bed, the two rolled around several times, releasing all the restlessness they had been feeling these past few days.
Then, the two arrived at the main hall where the altar was located.
Over the course of many days, Zhong Cai's Dan Yun (a type of cinnabar) has accumulated a great deal.
The number has exceeded 100,000.
For them, it's time to draw cards again.
·
Zhong Cai stood in front of the pool and gestured without hesitation.
Ten thousand Dan Yun, let's all join in!
At this moment, he is about to perform the Purple Flame Pool Ten-Strike Combo.
The Purple Flame Pool requires 10,000 Dan Yun to sacrifice once, and the resources obtained can reach up to level seven once sacrificed!
After this sacrifice, the guaranteed drop in a ten-pull is a level 7 rare medicine, and you can choose from another level 7 resource.
In other words, as long as Zhong Cai performs this ten-pull, he is guaranteed to obtain at least one level seven resource!
Very profitable.
·
As Dan Yun was thrown into the pool, the flames suddenly surged, bursting forth with countless purple flames.
As the flames flickered, they spat out ten purple envelopes, which hung high in the sky.
Zhong Cai's eyes were bright.
Wu Shaogan grasped Zhong Cai's hand and gently stroked it.
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "This time, shall we each open five?"
Wu Shaogan smiled and agreed, "Then A-Cai will choose first."
Their eyes fell on the envelopes.
Now that the altar has been upgraded, it is no longer necessary to hold the seal in your hand to activate it.
One can release profound energy directly based on their will.
Zhong Cai stretched out his finger, drew a line down the middle, and said with a grin, "Old Wu, you open the top envelope, and I'll open the bottom one."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly and said, "Okay."
The two then unleashed a burst of profound energy.
Zhong Cai quickly fell into the bottom five, while Wu Shaogan fell into the top.
·
In an instant, three of the ten purple seals began to tremble slightly and quickly emitted thick smoke.
The next instant, two mid-grade mystic stones and a level-three resource appeared.
The lowest quality resources produced by altars of this level are level three.
·
Then, three purple seals flashed with two rings of golden light!
It actually skipped the fourth level of resources...
Level 5 resources appeared directly.
Three Level 5 resources.
·
The smoke quickly dissipated before their eyes, revealing the resources.
There is a level 5 pill and a level 5 ore.
And a level 5 hard bow.
Zhong Cai immediately broke into a bright smile: "Old Wu, look! You're so lucky!"
—A level 5 hard bow comes from one of the five purple seals mentioned above.
