Chapter 105 Another IOU
Wu Dongxiao bowed to the two men and said earnestly, "Uncle, Uncle Zhong, please come in and sit down."
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "You seem to be living quite comfortably!"
Wu Dongxiao was a little embarrassed, but he still honestly said, "My master and senior brother are both very good to me."
Zhong Cai nodded: "That's good."
As they spoke, Wu Dongxiao took out a token, opened a path, and led the two into the mountains.
·
Halfway up the mountain, there stands a rather simple house.
This is where Xuan Bing lives, and Wu Dongxiao also lives here.
Wu Dongxiao led his two uncles to a nearby pavilion.
The surrounding scenery is quite beautiful, making it a great place to entertain guests.
Wu Dongxiao quickly ordered the puppet servants to bring over the finest tea, which he then presented with both hands.
Zhong Cai asked with a smile, "Are Instructor Wan and Senior Brother Xuan not here?"
Wu Dongxiao said, "Master has gone out to train, and Senior Brother has gone to the Martial Arts Hall to cultivate. He won't be back for a while."
Zhong Cai had only asked casually, and without saying anything unnecessary, she asked directly, "Did your master and senior brother give you any contracted rare beasts?"
Wu Dongxiao was taken aback, then honestly replied, "No."
Zhong Cai then took out the beast egg filled with strange patterns and placed it on the table.
In an instant, it was as if a flame had flashed by, and the rare beast egg appeared exceptionally vibrant.
·
Wu Dongxiao was quite discerning. In order to find enough treasures to pay off his debts in his future adventures, he had spent a lot of time searching for information about rare and precious materials and exotic animals in the Wandian Tower, paying particular attention to their prices and how to sell them for a high price.
He recognized it at a glance and exclaimed, "A sixth-tier Crimson Fire Phoenix egg!"
Zhong Cai raised her eyebrows: "You're quite knowledgeable."
Wu Dongxiao was a little embarrassed, but he knew his two uncles quite well, and upon seeing this thing, a guess suddenly came to his mind.
Could it be...?
Zhong Cai didn't keep her in suspense at all: "You got it by accident, do you want it?"
"Really?" Wu Dongxiao's eyes widened immediately. Still somewhat hesitant, he pointed to himself and said, "Me?"
Zhong Cai laughed and said, "This thing has great potential. If you don't want it, I'll sell it to someone else."
Wu Dongxiao finally understood.
The two uncles meant that, considering he was their nephew, they should ask him first if they found anything good that suited him.
Wu Dongxiao certainly wanted it!
However, a very serious problem stood in his way.
Admittedly, after becoming an apprentice, his master gave him a lot of pocket money, but since he was young, his master mainly provided him with a certain number of places so that he could use it whenever he needed it.
Therefore, Wu Dongxiao's current savings are not enough to buy such a rare, high-quality sixth-tier beast egg, let alone even a very ordinary sixth-tier one.
·
Wu Dongxiao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Zhong Cai chuckled and said, "What kind of expression is that? Just say what you want to say."
Wu Dongxiao said, "Uncle Zhong, I haven't even paid back the Xuan Stones for the Fifth Tribulation Fruit yet, and I only have a couple hundred Xuan Pearls on hand..."
Zhong Cai was stunned: "One or two hundred?"
Wu Dongxiao chuckled twice: "The actual limit is 100,000."
Zhong Cai looked at the tiny baby and understood.
Indeed, even if Wu Dongxiao is at the Palace-Opening Realm, he is far from being ready to go out and train on his own. It is more appropriate for his parents to manage his large assets.
Zhong Cai smiled happily.
This kid is so poor! Hahaha!
Wu Dongxiao looked at the Crimson Fire Phoenix's eggs with longing in his eyes.
This is the rare beast he needs most right now. It has high growth potential and will grow up with him after hatching. As long as he feeds it enough resources, when it reaches the age where it can go out to train, the Crimson Fire Phoenix will be his best helper!
However, he really didn't have any money.
His two uncles probably thought he could get an advance from his master.
But Wu Dongxiao had only been a disciple for a short time, so how could he possibly ask his master to lend him hundreds of thousands of Xuan Stones?
Besides, even if he's shameless, his master isn't here...
·
Zhong Cai laughed until her face turned red.
A cup of tea was brought to his lips by Wu Shaogan.
Zhong Cai quickly took two sips, still smiling, and said to the kid, "Alright, I wasn't planning on making you pay right now. Same as always, you write an IOU."
Wu Dongxiao was incredulous and pointed to himself again: "Uncle Zhong, I can still write an IOU?"
Zhong Cai took another sip of tea: "Go ahead and hit him. Anyway, whether it's 500,000 or 700,000, it's still a debt. Your uncle and I aren't short of money for now."
Wu Dongxiao took a deep breath, his face full of pain. He wanted to refuse politely, but he really couldn't bear to.
Zhong Cai waved her hand: "Alright, alright, stop being so dramatic. When you're older, we won't let you off easy when it comes to collecting debts."
Wu Dongxiao couldn't help but laugh: "Paying back debts is the only right thing to do, and I will definitely do my best to repay them."
Zhong Cai nodded and said, "That's more like it."
Wu Dongxiao then said, "However, two hundred thousand is too low, Uncle Zhong. Let me change the IOU to one million."
Zhong Cai laughed out loud: "We wouldn't make a huge profit off you."
Wu Dongxiao insisted, "This thing will definitely be in high demand after it appears in the world, and it can be sold for 500,000."
Zhong Cai was too lazy to argue with him: "Two hundred thousand it is. Old Wu's face is still very valuable. I'll give you a 20% discount."
Wu Dongxiao still wanted to persuade him.
Zhong Cai snorted: "I have no patience for anyone other than your uncle."
Wu Dongxiao immediately shut up.
Zhong Cai's expression relaxed a bit before she said, "You don't need to think too much about it. When you grow up and gain experience, I'll arrange for you to find specific resources. There will be times when you're in trouble!"
Wu Dongxiao suddenly realized and quickly said, "When I grow up, I will do whatever Uncle Zhong tells me to do, no matter how difficult or dangerous it may be, I will never refuse."
Zhong Cai nodded in satisfaction, tapping her fingers lightly on the table.
Wu Dongxiao understood immediately. He quickly found a swearing token and "wrote" an IOU in exactly the same way as last time.
Zhong Cai flicked his fingers.
The Crimson Fire Phoenix Beast egg on the table rolled towards Wu Dongxiao.
Wu Dongxiao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly held it up.
Zhong Cai laughed and said, "You can incubate it yourself. Your uncle and I are leaving now."
Wu Dongxiao quickly got up to see him off.
At this moment, Wu Shaogan, who had been silent all along, glanced at him and said indifferently, "After you reach the Enlightenment Realm, go and get to the top of the rankings. Don't embarrass me."
Wu Dongxiao was horrified.
Zhong Cai explained with a smile, "The number one one that was blessed."
Wu Dongxiao was relieved... but not entirely relieved.
Zhong Cai said with a grin, "If you embarrass Lao Wu, I'll be angry too."
Wu Dongxiao: "I understand."
Zhong Cai then pulled Wu Shaogan along and left happily.
Holding the rare beast egg, Wu Dongxiao couldn't feel happy.
Of course, he himself is very willing to improve his strength, but he will not underestimate the geniuses in the world!
You should know that even his senior brother couldn't get first place back then!
Only someone like my uncle... could reach such a level.
Wu Dongxiao genuinely lacked confidence.
However, he also understood that his two uncles were so supportive of his cultivation, they just wanted him to work hard. If he couldn't even work hard to climb the rankings, what was the point of talking about future adventure rewards?
Wu Dongxiao continued to look at the Crimson Fire Phoenix's egg, secretly resolving that he needed to cultivate even more diligently.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan sat cross-legged on Qingyu's back and headed towards Duobao Peak.
"That kid will probably work harder."
"Indeed... a little more encouragement will help them improve sooner."
"If he can't even reach that level, then he's not... "
"That's true."
It's at least 700,000 low-grade mystic stones; how can the protagonist not work hard!
The two of them then sent that kid to find refining materials. If the kid's main character strength was insufficient, it would affect their resources!
·
Xuan Bing spent most of the day in the martial arts hall practicing his new secret technique and gained quite a bit of knowledge from it.
As evening approached, he returned to Feifeng Mountain, just like every other day.
Upon entering the mansion, Xuan Bing was surprised to find his junior brother wielding a level-two halberd with great force.
Even with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, the junior brother didn't stop for a moment, his breath was rolling, and his whole body seemed to be on fire!
Xuan Bing was somewhat surprised.
Looking at the sky, at this time in the past, my junior brother should have already eaten and was resting.
But Xuan Bing didn't disturb him. After waiting a while, he called out to greet his junior brother after he had finished practicing.
"Dongxiao!"
·
Wu Dongxiao turned around, panting heavily, and saw his senior brother standing not far away, dressed in flowing white robes, looking handsome and dashing.
He smiled and jogged over.
Xuan Bing asked with a smile, "Why are you still practicing today?"
Wu Dongxiao didn't intend to hide anything, so he told him about his two uncles coming over and selling him a special rare beast egg.
At the same time, he also handed the Crimson Fire Phoenix Beast Egg to Xuan Bing.
Xuan Bing knew that his junior brother was interested in all kinds of rare and exotic animals, and he had also read some of them and recognized them as well.
He thought for a moment and said, "Two hundred thousand is a bargain."
Wu Dongxiao honestly replied, "That's what I said too."
Then, he also told his senior brother about some of his conversations with Uncle Zhong.
Xuan Bing nodded, asked Wu Dongxiao to sit for a while, and said, "Master thought about finding you a contracted rare beast, but her own collection is very ordinary. Although there are many kinds of beast eggs and embryos in the academy, there are very few with great potential, and they are not easy to obtain."
"Even the one I have now is of good quality, but its potential is only at the eighth level at most. It took me many years of completing tasks to accumulate enough task points and a large number of Xuanzhu to finally exchange for it."
“My master and I thought that you might follow in my footsteps, but we never expected that your two uncles would treat you so well.”
·
Xuan Bing was certainly aware of the value of these rare beast eggs and didn't think that Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan shouldn't have asked Wu Dongxiao to collect the Xuan Stone.
You should know that even if your own parents get such resources, they usually make a contract with them, and only pass them on to their descendants if they die young.
Besides, they're just relatives.
The fact that they were willing to give it up, and even only accepted an IOU for 200,000 yuan, shows a very deep level of friendship.
·
Wu Dongxiao hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help himself and simply told his senior brother everything about his past.
"Actually, I don't only have this one IOU. There's another one, which was for my antidote..."
Xuanbing's pupils constricted slightly.
As Wu Dongxiao continued his narration, Xuan Bing's expression grew increasingly grim.
Although Xuan Bing himself had no background, to him, the master who raised him and treated him very well was his mother, and this "mother" was always very loving towards him. She was willing to take risks to find suitable resources for him.
Xuan Bing never expected that his biological parents and grandparents could go to such lengths!
He was well aware that there were many cold-hearted people among the powerful families, but even the most cold-hearted people still had some pity for their children.
He really learned something new today.
Xuan Bing restrained himself and forcibly suppressed his anger.
Even if we concede that abandoning a child to the margins is truly heartless, that's one thing, but to allow one's own descendants to suffer such torment within one's own family, nearly being beaten to death—
This is simply no different from being a beast!
However, these people were still his junior brother's close relatives, and even if Xuan Bing wanted to scold them, he had to consider his junior brother's feelings.
Just as he was enduring it, Xuan Bing looked down and found that his junior brother had grabbed his hand.
Having spent so many days with his senior brother, Wu Dongxiao naturally noticed his senior brother's anger on his behalf and was somewhat moved.
He whispered, "Senior brother, if I want to go back and avenge myself on those two nephews who almost killed me when I grow up..."
Xuan Bing gently patted Wu Dongxiao's head and said softly, "That's only natural."
Wu Dongxiao then smiled.
Xuan Bing sighed, "Thanks to your two uncles for rescuing you."
Wu Dongxiao nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, my uncle also had a similar experience. Uncle Zhong was forced by the Wu family to marry into the Zhong family... I am really grateful that they were able to save me."
Xuan Bing hadn't expected any of this.
Because he didn't care at all about his junior brother's background, he never investigated it or went to the bottom of it.
If they treat their junior brothers this way, they would certainly not bother to investigate people they don't know well.
So, after Wu Dongxiao recounted his uncle's bumpy life with bright eyes, Xuan Bing couldn't help but admire Wu Shaogan a bit more.
Xuan Bing sighed, "It's really not easy."
Wu Dongxiao said, "My uncle is very open-minded. As long as Uncle Zhong is by his side, he doesn't care about anything."
Xuan Bing was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh.
·
After this heart-to-heart talk, the two brothers became even closer.
Xuan Bing also took better care of Wu Dongxiao.
Wu Dongxiao wanted to hatch the Crimson Fire Phoenix, and it would be best to supplement the rare beast egg with some nutrition. Therefore, Xuan Bing personally went to the Trading Hall and, based on his past experience and relevant information, bought back some related resources.
With Xuan Bing's help, the Crimson Fire Phoenix's eggs became more and more vibrant each day.
Finally, after some time, it hatched successfully!
Having already pledged allegiance to his master through blood, Wu Dongxiao now possessed a rare bird that perfectly complemented him.
In the future, they will also be his best helpers who will follow him through thick and thin!
that is……
The amount of Xuan Stones owed is truly like a mountain.
Xuanbing himself didn't have that many Xuan Stones, so he suggested that perhaps when his master returned, he could borrow some from him.
But Wu Dongxiao quickly rejected the offer.
Wu Dongxiao had no intention of affecting his master's cultivation. Besides, he would repay whoever he borrowed from. He owed his two uncles not only Xuan Stones, but also a debt of gratitude.
Then let's follow Uncle Zhong's instructions and wait until we grow up to obey his orders.
Xuan Bing didn't say much, but after rubbing his head again, he pushed him to take a medicinal bath.
Since we have to practice rigorous training every day, we need to nourish and maintain our bodies in all aspects to ensure they can withstand the strain!
Wu Dongxiao is very obedient.
Moreover, he could indeed feel that his strength was changing every day.
Little by little, it's improving...
·
On Duobao Peak.
Zhong Cai counted the high-level resources he had on hand, and was a little stunned. He muttered, "Old Wu, we already have a total of nine level-six resources that we don't need!"
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly: "That's all."
Zhong Cai exhaled, feeling deeply shocked: "If this were counted as mystic stones, there would be far too many!"
Wu Shaogan thought for a moment and roughly estimated, "Between two or three million low-grade Xuan stones." He understood A Cai's idea and added, "If you include that level seven shield, it's worth at least several hundred million to tens of millions of low-grade Xuan stones."
Zhong Cai gasped, "Are we that rich already?!"
Wu Shaogan leaned back on his arm and laughed, "This is all thanks to A-Cai."
Zhong Cai immediately replied, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have dared to take my things out at all."
Wu Shaogan turned his head to look at Zhong Cai, his eyes filled with a smile, knowing that Cai had more to say.
Zhong Cai then flashed a bright smile: "That's why we're such a perfect match!"
Wu Shaogan pulled the other person close and said lazily, "It's not that we're particularly well-matched, it's that you're only well-matched with me, and I'm only well-matched with you. No one else is a good match for us."
That was quite domineering, and it even carried a hint of ill intent.
Zhong Cai didn't find anything wrong with it; instead, she nodded in agreement: "Your statement is more precise."
Wu Shaogan was in a great mood and laughed out loud.
·
After joking around for a while, the two started talking about their businesses.
Currently, the only businesses they have are blind box shops and small pill shops in Canglong City.
The West Tiger Hunting Group's sale of elixirs is no longer considered a real industry; it's more of a channel for Zhong Cai to connect with her maternal grandfather and aunt.
Zhong Cai said, "I trust Xiang Lin to manage the shop. I'll put some of my pills there to sell, and gradually build up my reputation as a whole."
Wu Shaogan nodded and said, "Xiang Lin and Zhong Da's abilities need to be improved."
Zhong Cai also remembered this and agreed, "Let's give them more pills." As he spoke, he said with a bit of a laugh, "Zhong Da usually just cultivates and follows Xiang Lin's orders, so he doesn't really have much of a presence."
Wu Shaogan knew that Zhong Cai didn't dislike Zhong Da, so he smiled and said, "He's a bit dull but obedient, and he can get things done when asked."
Zhong Cai nodded: "Xiang Lin might still be able to keep up with us, but Zhong Da's qualifications are limited, so I guess it's not going to work out. The same goes for Bi Cen and Qiao Hong. I was thinking, should we give the rest of the family members some authority so they can choose their own marriages?"
Wu Shaogan was taken aback: "Marriage?"
Zhong Cai said, "It's not that they have to find someone to marry. As long as they've done what they're supposed to do, we should give them more freedom. They're both getting on in years. Before, we were traveling around and didn't settle down, so it wasn't convenient for them to start a family. Now they're destined to stay in Canglong City, so if they have any ideas, they don't have to hold back."
·
In this world, the marriage arrangements for servants are all in the hands of their masters. If the masters don't give the word, even if the servants have thoughts about marriage, they can only suppress them.
Zhong Cai was too lazy to worry about these things, so she simply let the servants do as they pleased.
He can't possibly be so loving with Old Wu, yet forbid the servants from having their own homes, can he?
It's fine if the servants don't want to get married, and it's also fine if they do want to.
·
Zhong Cai stretched and said, "Old Wu, write a letter to Xiang Lin and tell him to take charge. Whoever is getting married should let us know. We can prepare some betrothal gifts and dowry."
Wu Shaogan was genuinely surprised that Zhong Cai would suddenly become interested in the marriages of the servants, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Are you planning to gradually make them managers?"
Zhong Cai thought for a moment and said, "I guess so. Actually, I'm mainly thinking about Zhong Da."
Wu Shaogan understood and said, "With the two of us looking after him, Zhong Da will at least have a stable life."
Zhong Cai nodded: "As for Xiang Lin..."
Wu Shaogan said, "Xiang Lin wants to stay with us forever."
Zhong Cai turned to look at him: "Did Xiang Lin tell you this?"
Wu Shaogan said, "His intentions are quite obvious."
Zhong Cai didn't find it obvious, but Xiang Lin wasn't Lao Wu, so it was normal that he couldn't see it either. Lao Wu had known Xiang Lin for so many years, so it was also normal that he could know the general thoughts of the Death Guard.
So the two of them stopped talking about it.
Wu Shaogan quickly wrote a letter and sent the puppet in the mountains with the command seal to Canglong City to deliver the letter to Xiang Lin.
That's the end of that.
·
The conversation then turned to the rather profitable blind box shops.
Zhong Cai hesitated and said, "I think it's time to move the shop to another location?"
Wu Shaogan understood: "After all, it's just a level 5 city. There aren't many people who can afford and are willing to buy top-tier blind boxes. There are more high-end blind boxes for sale, but those who are interested have probably already bought them."
Zhong Cai said, "I've thought about opening a branch. After all, you have a lot of Taoist soldiers. As long as they go to the mountains a few times, they can collect a lot of low-level resources to fill the gaps. High-quality altars can yield quite a few, which can support both of us."
Wu Shaogan waited quietly for him to continue.
Zhong Cai sighed: "But I think we have enough for everything else, but not enough puppets that are convenient for being managers. The puppets of Canglong Academy can't be released, and the Dao soldiers also have to be hidden."
Wu Shaogan pondered for a moment and said, "If you are interested, you can recall a few special Taoist soldiers to look after the shop."
Zhong Cai waved his hand: "Their potential is too high. It would be a waste of their talents to look after a shop."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly: "So, let's go with a flexible approach."
Zhong Cai chuckled: "That's right, squeeze every last drop out of a place and then relocate."
Wu Shaogan always listened to Zhong Cai; if he said so, he would do it.
Where would you like to move to?
Zhong Cai pondered, "Let's just find any level four city."
Wu Shaogan: "Okay."
As for how to find it...
The two took out a map and studied it.
They obtained this map through a trade at the Azure Dragon Academy; it clearly depicts all the cities in the entire state.
Even county towns and large villages have records.
There are only a few small and medium-sized villages left, because the area is small and subject to great changes, so the information will generally be updated as the map changes...
·
The map is covered with city markers.
Zhong Cai's eyes were almost blurry from looking at it.
Wu Shaogan's gaze swept back and forth across the map.
Zhong Cai finally pressed down, landing on a level-four city at least hundreds of thousands of miles away from Canglong City, facing north.
"This is it!"
Wu Shaogan glanced down.
"Fire Cloud City, a level four city, is a very wealthy city."
Zhong Cai smiled and asked, "Old Wu, how is it?"
Wu Shaogan said, "That's good."
And so, that's the decision.
As for how to move it...
Of course, the order was still given to the Azure Sky Puppet, which would then take the teleportation array, defense array, various blind box goods, shopkeeper puppets, and so on from the blind box shop and head towards Fire Cloud City in an undetected manner.
Zhong Cai thought about it and was still a little uneasy, so he said, "Old Wu, send out one of the silver-armored soldiers."
Wu Shaogan had the same plan: "Hide in the shadows to protect them, and kill anyone who follows them." He smiled and said, "Send that silver-armored soldier at the peak of the Palace Constructing Realm over there."
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "That would be perfect."
·
Jiang Chongguang and Sang Yunchu were very fast.
For them, there was no danger at all along the way, and everything went quite smoothly.
Before long, they arrived at Azure Dragon Academy safely.
The two did not stop, but concealed themselves and gracefully flew in from the air.
Then, Sang Yunchu bid farewell to Jiang Chongguang.
"Senior Brother Jiang, I promised to refine a batch of Tiger Heart Pills for you. Come and pick them up in a few days."
This Tiger Heart Pill was the payment Sang Yunchu received for hiring Jiang Chongguang.
Jiang Chongguang's cultivation technique can utilize this elixir, and the technique is refined as the elixir's effects are enhanced.
Upon hearing Sang Yunchu's suggestion, Jiang Chongguang readily agreed, "Okay!"
Without further ado, Sang Yunchu bid farewell to Jiang Chongguang.
The two went their separate ways in different directions.
·
Jiang Chongguang moved with lightning speed, returning to his peak in just a few leaps.
He's really annoyed by this trip!
Now that we're finally back, shouldn't we breathe in as much free air as possible?
As soon as Jiang Chongguang landed, a figure flashed in front of him, and a figure appeared in front of him.
She was a very spirited woman who suddenly greeted him with a smile, "Senior Brother Jiang, you're finally back!"
Jiang Chongguang was taken aback: "Why are you waiting for me?"
The confident woman's lips twitched slightly: "I wasn't waiting for you."
Jiang Chongguang glanced at her, as if to say, "You didn't wait for me, why did you come so fast?"
The spirited woman laughed and said, "It's just a coincidence. I went out for a while and just came back when I noticed my senior brother's movements, so I came over."
Jiang Chongguang: "Oh. You wanted to see me about something?"
The spirited woman immediately revealed an expression of envy and jealousy.
Jiang Chongguang asked in bewilderment, "What kind of look is that?"
The spirited woman didn't keep them in suspense and asked directly, "Senior Brother hasn't seen the Hidden Dragon Ranking since you came back, has he?"
Jiang Chongguang said, "No, that's right." He suddenly seemed to realize something and immediately said, "It's my disciple who has already made it up. What good results did he achieve? Tell me quickly, what's his ranking? Can he make it into the top thirty? With his assessment results, even if he doesn't make it into the top thirty, he should definitely be in the top fifty, right?"
The spirited woman took a deep breath and said slowly, "Senior brother, you really underestimate your disciple." She said, word by word, "He's not just in the top fifty or top thirty. He started competing on the rankings just two days after you left, and he reached the top in a single day!"
Jiang Chongguang also knew what reaching the summit meant, and his eyebrows and eyes practically popped out of their sockets!
"Consecration is the most important!"
The spirited woman: "Yes."
Jiang Chongguang's eyes widened: "Eighth on the Hidden Dragon List!"
The spirited woman raised her voice slightly: "Yes!"
Jiang Chongguang immediately showed a look of surprise and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! My precious disciple, number one in the consecration!"
"That's a pretty good lad!"
Almost instinctively, Jiang Chongguang raised his fist and smashed it down on a nearby huge boulder!
In that instant, the entire mountain shook!
The boulder was smashed and cracked.
However, it did not actually break.
The spirited woman's eyelids twitched repeatedly.
That's why she rushed over to greet her senior brother as soon as she realized he was back.
At this moment, the dashing woman was actually stepping on several special patterns.
This is one of the ways to activate the defensive formations throughout the mountain.
...If the defensive formation hadn't been opened by the valiant woman long ago, Jiang Chongguang's attack would have smashed half the mountain!
·
After smashing the items, Jiang Chongguang realized that he had gotten carried away and quickly stopped.
Having released his surging emotions, he is now able to remain calm and composed.
At least it's relatively calm and peaceful.
Jiang Chongguang said in a loud voice, "My disciple is so outstanding, and I wasn't even home. Did you guys help me reward him?"
The spirited woman was stunned, but she quickly replied, "Of course I'll help."
Jiang Chongguang raised his voice even louder: "How much did they give?"
The spirited woman said, "Ten million Xuanzhu."
This is actually a very generous reward. If other mentors' disciples had this strength, they would at most be rewarded with a few hundred million Xuanzhu.
However, for Jiang Chongguang, it was still too little.
Jiang Chongguang immediately said, "Have someone invite him over; I want to personally reward him!"
The dashing woman waved her hand and summoned a puppet at the Fusion Realm.
The puppet obeyed the order and quickly left.
The spirited woman suggested, "Senior brother, you didn't invite your junior nephew into the cave last time, you can't do the same this time, can you? Why don't we tidy up now so we can welcome our junior nephew?"
Jiang Chongguang thought it made a lot of sense and was about to go.
The spirited woman quickly added, "Senior brother, don't do it yourself, let the puppet do it!"
Jiang Chongguang did as instructed.
The spirited woman then left.
After walking a short distance, a man who looked to be around thirty years old was waiting there; he was one of Jiang Chongguang's junior brothers.
Upon seeing the spirited woman, the man smiled and said, "Senior brother, you listened to my advice?"
The spirited woman snorted, "I lost the draw this time, but next time you'll have to put up with your senior brother's loud voice."
The man immediately said, "Next time, we'll still draw lots."
The spirited woman rolled her eyes.
·
On the other end.
Sang Yunchu arrived at the Dan Pavilion and stood in front of the towering stone tablet.
His gaze fell upon the ranking on the stone tablet.
After recognizing the top name among the second-level alchemists, he pointed to the names of the dozen or so pills and smiled slightly.
After being away for two months, his new disciple has achieved such a high ranking.
very good.
Outsiders may not know how skilled Sang Yunchu was in alchemy when he was young, or what kind of talent he had in alchemy, but Sang Yunchu himself knew very well and still remembered his alchemy proficiency at each level.
At this moment, Sang Yunchu was truly happy.
The student surpasses the teacher; his disciple is even more talented than him.
Moreover, they work very hard.
Sang Yunchu has always been a man of principle, preferring quality over quantity, and has only accepted one disciple over the years.
This disciple has really made him proud.
·
After reading it, Sang Yunchu turned and flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
There were actually quite a few alchemists coming and going around, but none of them could detect that Sang Yunchu had been there.
After returning, Sang Yunchu summoned a puppet.
After not seeing him for many days, he should see his disciple and give him some encouragement.
·
After the puppet left, Sang Yunchu headed deeper into the mansion.
There, there was one of his medicinal gardens, of very high quality, heavily fortified with array plates.
Sang Yunchu needs to plant the Blood Bone Tree as soon as possible.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan were cultivating on their own.
Whenever they felt a little tired, they would glance at each other.
After that one glance, their fatigue vanished, and they became radiant, able to persevere.
Suddenly, the butler's puppet appeared before them.
"My lords, a messenger has arrived."
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan both stopped what they were doing and stood up.
The two followed the puppet to the outside of the mansion.
What came into view was another puppet.
Upon seeing Wu Shaogan, the puppet immediately said, "Instructor Jiang Chongguang invites you."
Zhong Cai was taken aback.
Wu Shaogan then spoke up: "Master is back?"
The puppet replied, "Yes."
Wu Shaogan understood that it was time to pay his respects to his master, but his master had not suggested that he also see A Cai, so he had to go alone.
It was at this moment that another puppet arrived.
This time, the puppet addressed Zhong Cai, saying, "Master Sang Dan invites you."
Zhong Cai immediately laughed: "Old Wu, my master also wants to see me."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly, "I'm afraid the two masters really did go out together and come back together."
Therefore, even the puppets used to summon disciples arrived one after the other.
Both of them now had things to do, so they exchanged a glance and then each followed the puppet away.
"See you later?"
"good."
