Chapter 106 The Masters' Rewards
Zhong Cai did not see her master immediately after entering the room, but suddenly heard the other person's soft voice.
"Cai'er, follow the puppet."
Zhong Cai immediately looked at the puppet beside him.
The puppet looked like a kind-looking middle-aged man.
"Master Zhong, please come this way."
Zhong Cai followed directly.
The puppet led Zhong Cai around several bends and soon arrived at a garden with a very rich spiritual energy.
Zhong Cai squinted at it.
This place must be a formation that gathers the energy of heaven and earth, and it is likely filled with a lot of mystic stones.
Master is so rich!
The puppet continued to lead the way, taking Zhong Cai further inside.
As soon as Zhong Cai stepped in, she was almost choked by the energy of heaven and earth.
This is the smell of money (mysterious stone), it's truly suffocating!
But soon, the puppet seemed to have manipulated something, and the concentration of the Qi of Heaven and Earth became much dimmer.
Zhong Cai was able to breathe smoothly again.
The puppet said, "Master Sang Dan is at the deepest part of the herb garden, busy with something. He instructed Master Zhong Dan to tour the herb garden first. If there are any herbs he wants, he can choose any one hundred of them below level five."
Zhong Cai let out a barely audible hiss.
Hundreds!
In other words, if he wants to choose, he can take away one hundred kinds of level-four rare medicines!
After calculating the price, Zhong Cai calmed down.
For a wealthy person like Master who spends tens of millions of Xuanzhu with a single move, even if a hundred kinds of rare medicines are rare, they would only cost a few hundred Xuanzhu, which is really nothing to him.
However, Zhong Cai is still looking forward to it.
The master must have a complete range of rare medicinal herbs. Their value is secondary; the key is that they can fill his medicine cabinet and enhance his knowledge of rare medicinal herbs.
·
With her mind wandering, Zhong Cai followed the puppet onto a small path in the blink of an eye.
Several small gates connect to the sides of this path, and they are all locked.
Zhong Cai vaguely sensed that there was some rather mysterious power here... It seemed somewhat similar to the herb garden in his ancient city?
The puppet seemed to also be tasked with explaining things to Zhong Cai, and spoke in a calm tone: "A time array has been set up here, which varies depending on the area, with one day equaling one year, one day equaling ten years, and one day equaling one hundred years."
"Master Sang Dan has placed a great many mystic stones here to power the formation. However, the formation, which operates at a rate of one hundred years per day, will only be activated when urgently needed, and is currently empty..."
When Zhong Cai heard this, her pupils contracted slightly.
It really looks just like his medicinal herb garden!
He only had one more small garden than his master, which was said to last for "five hundred years in a day".
Meanwhile, his herb gardens that are one year or ten years old do not require additional Xuan Pearls and Xuan Stones. However, when the herb gardens reach the levels of one hundred years or five hundred years old, the precious herbs planted in them will quickly drain the energy that was originally in the fields. Once that energy is used up, if he wants to open these two gardens again, he will need to invest Xuan Stones and Xuan Pearls.
For Zhong Cai, things are alright for now.
The only one he put into the garden that lasts five hundred years a day is one that cannot be promoted but can only accumulate medicinal power. Its energy consumption is far less than the others, and the energy contained in the field is already sufficient.
Many years later, Zhong Cai's demand for rare medicines will surely be enormous, and the medicine garden will become a major source of spending money.
However, this is already quite good, as it consumes far less energy than actually setting up a time array.
This "discount" is a great benefit brought by his companion treasure, as well as the "five hundred years in a day" formation, which is of a very high level and not easy to set up.
Didn't you see that even his master didn't have this formation?
Given his master's level of alchemy and his thirst for rare herbs, he would certainly need a garden like this.
Given his master's wealth, if he could find a suitable array master, he could save the money for setting up the array by building fewer walls of mystic stone.
·
The puppet continued, "Most medicinal herbs are in ordinary herb gardens. Please come this way, Master Zhong."
Zhong Cai smiled and nodded, saying politely, "Thank you."
The puppet led Zhong Cai around several bends and into a larger medicinal garden.
The road in the middle is also wider, with countless fertile fields on both sides, divided into numerous plots.
There are about three to five plants of the same medicinal herb on each plot of land, and the total number will not exceed ten.
All the medicinal herbs were growing very well, clearly nourished by the energy of heaven and earth.
Zhong Cai looked up and discovered...
The lowest grade of medicinal herbs planted here are at least level three.
Zhong Cai looked around; she didn't recognize everyone.
His master had even specially cultivated fields for planting poisonous rare herbs, which seemed to be separated by an array. The fields were filled with colorful poisonous mist, but it was all blocked in a fixed place.
The appearance of these poisonous rare herbs is also quite random; normal ones are few, and most are bizarre and varied.
Zhong Cai thought for a moment, then decided not to be too polite with her master and quickly began making her selections.
He selected fifty rare medicinal herbs of each grade three and four.
The Level 4 selections are mainly less common, while the Level 3 selections are mostly unfamiliar to him.
Perfect timing, I can ask my master for guidance when I go to see him.
·
After making these choices, an hour had passed.
Zhong Cai and the puppet also arrived at the end of the road.
Directly opposite is a large lake, and across the lake is an even more secluded garden, which appears very solemn.
On the side of the lake, there is a rather elegant waterside pavilion.
At this moment, a refined and handsome young man was sitting leisurely inside, and perhaps sensing the presence of others, he was looking over through the window.
Zhong Cai quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Master."
Sang Yunchu smiled at him and waved, "Cai'er, come here."
Zhong Cai immediately stepped onto the small bridge and headed straight for the waterside pavilion.
Upon arriving, Zhong Cai, at her master's prompting, sat on the small couch opposite her.
Sang Yunchu said gently, "I am very pleased that you have become a level 2 alchemist of the thirteen stars so quickly."
Zhong Cai humbly said, "There is still a lot of room for improvement."
Sang Yunchu looked pleased and said, "You are sure to be able to meet my requirements. Just keep working hard in the future."
Zhong Cai answered earnestly, "Yes."
Sang Yunchu smiled again: "According to custom, a teacher should reward a disciple for achieving good results."
Zhong Cai immediately looked up, her eyes bright, clearly full of anticipation.
Sang Yunchu liked Zhong Cai's frankness, so she smiled and took out a mustard seed bag and pushed it to Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai took it.
Sang Yunchu said, "We, master and disciple, need not stand on ceremony. Let's just look at it."
Zhong Cai chuckled and actually looked at it directly.
Upon seeing it, his face immediately lit up with joy.
Master is truly generous!
Another ten million Xuanzhu!
He's just a level two alchemist, yet his master is so generous to him!
Sang Yunchu said, "This is the reward for obtaining the badge."
Zhong Cai nodded with a bright smile: "Thank you, Master!"
Sang Yunchu took out another mustard seed bag: "This is your reward for taking the top spot and surpassing all other alchemists of the same level."
Zhong Cai was a little surprised. There were still more?
But that's why there are still some.
Zhong Cai looked again and her eyes widened.
It's still a Xuanzhu, and it's still ten million Xuanzhu!
Sang Yunchu then took out a bead the size of a fist, which was gold and silver in color.
“As a teacher, I should provide my disciples with defensive treasures. I should have given them to you when you left the academy to gain experience, but since you just became my disciple, I have been gone for two months... Considering that I might have to go out to find rare medicines in the future, it is better to give them to you in advance.”
Zhong Cai happily took it, pinched it with her fingers, and felt that it was cold but not hard, instead it had a velvety feel to it.
He asked curiously, "Master, what is this?"
Sang Yunchu said, "Gold and silver treasure robes." At this point, he revealed a meaningful expression, "Suitable for dual cultivation partners whose auras are compatible."
Zhong Cai paused, cleared her throat slightly, and looked a little embarrassed.
However, he would definitely ask about such a treasure thoroughly.
Zhong Cai then asked, "What level is this? Can disciples and junior cadres use it directly?"
Sang Yunchu was still very patient and slowly said, "This is a level seven treasure robe, which can withstand most attacks from Spirit Transformation cultivators. As long as you signify it with your blood and infuse it with your and your husband's Xuan power for certification, only the two of you can use it. And you don't need to use this treasure robe actively, so even if your cultivation level is still low, you only need to wear it. As long as you are attacked, it will automatically block the attack."
Zhong Cai was already shocked when she heard about the "seventh-level treasure robe"!
How did they suddenly get a level seven rating?!
Even if my master provides me with a protective treasure, level six would be enough at most, right?
Even my master could use such a level seven defensive armor!
Seeing the unpredictable expression on his young disciple's face, Sang Yunchu quickly discerned his thoughts and couldn't help but smile: "I don't have a Daoist partner yet, so this item is of no use to me. Besides, I can easily deal with any attack that this item can block."
Zhong Cai was still very excited.
Sang Yunchu chuckled and said, "What I originally wanted to give you were two mandarin duck pendants, which also have level six defensive power."
Zhong Cai waited quietly for what would happen next.
Sang Yunchu indeed said, "The reason it has changed is because Cai'er gave me, her teacher, a lot of face."
Zhong Cai understood.
Sang Yunchu smiled and said, "I am very pleased, so I have upgraded the reward by one level."
Zhong Cai had no more hesitation and just smiled broadly, saying, "Then this disciple will thank Master on behalf of Old Wu!"
Sang Yunchu nodded slightly, then took out another item and pushed it to Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai took it and examined it carefully.
It's only an inch long, and looks like a small boat... like a toy.
However, Zhong Cai had taken out countless good things from the altar and was familiar with the aura of many treasures, so he could tell at a glance that it was of high quality.
In particular, the aura of this small boat was not as concealed as that of the precious garment disguised as a bead, making it easy to roughly identify.
Zhong Cai blinked, and said incredulously, "A level seven airship?"
Sang Yunchu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Cai'er has a good eye."
Zhong Cai took a deep breath.
Sang Yunchu laughed and said, "I have more than ten such flying boats. Since you are my only disciple, I will give you one."
Zhong Cai understood somewhat and guessed with a smile, "Is it because I have made you proud, Master, that you have elevated my status and given me this flying boat as a gift?"
Sang Yunchu's smile deepened: "Cai'er is intelligent."
Zhong Cai found these words familiar. After thinking about it, she realized that her husband, Lao Wu, always said, "A-Cai is clever." Her master said the same thing. How endearing!
However, when facing her master, Zhong Cai simply said happily, "Master's praise is right!"
Sang Yunchu couldn't help but laugh.
Although they didn't spend much time together, he grew to like this disciple more and more.
The training of disciples is indeed quite interesting.
·
Sang Yunchu slowly said, "This flying boat has already been filled with some Xuan Stones. If it is only used as an ordinary means of transportation, it can last for a hundred years even at the fastest flying speed."
"If attacked by a Palace-Building cultivator, it can last for a year or two; if attacked by a Spirit Transformation cultivator, it can last for ten days or half a month."
Zhong Cai's expression suddenly brightened: "So amazing!"
Sang Yunchu nodded, quite certain.
Zhong Cai asked curiously, "Master, if the energy inside runs out, how many mystic stones will it need to keep running?"
Sang Yunchu replied, "One low-grade Xuan Stone per month is sufficient. However, if attacked, the number is uncertain. To unleash sufficient power, the more Xuan Stones the better."
Zhong Cai understood.
But this is already very good; his and Lao Wu's defense levels have been raised once again!
...and this was something he could never have imagined before becoming an apprentice.
·
Sang Yunchu watched as his disciple carefully put away the treasures and smiled slightly: "Cai'er, if you need to go out in the future, just come and let your master know."
Zhong Cai immediately replied, "I understand, Master."
Sang Yunchu nodded in satisfaction.
He didn't take out anything else, which meant he had already given out all the rewards.
Zhong Cai also suppressed his overflowing joy, and his expression became slightly serious as he said, "This disciple has accumulated some questions these past few days..."
Sang Yunchu smiled and said, "Tell me slowly."
Zhong Cai's eyes shone brightly as she took out the rare herbs she had previously selected but did not recognize and began to inquire about them.
Besides this question, he also had some questions or uncertainties while looking through the classic texts on alchemy, and now he could ask them all.
In addition to answering Zhong Cai's various questions, Sang Yunchu also provided medicinal materials and asked Zhong Cai to demonstrate the refining of various elixirs in front of him.
Zhong Cai obediently did as instructed.
Sang Yunchu looked on, becoming increasingly satisfied.
When his disciple was refining pills, his technique was extremely smooth with almost no unnecessary steps. Moreover, it seemed to incorporate the strengths of various schools of alchemy, and he was already showing signs of developing his own unique alchemical methods.
very good.
This disciple never disappointed him.
Of course, Zhong Cai is not without flaws, and with Sang Yunchu's abilities, it would be easy for him to guide Zhong Cai to erase these flaws.
Zhong Cai also seized the opportunity.
He was serious about alchemy and improving his alchemy skills!
·
Wu Shaogan waited quietly in front of the cave.
For some reason, he felt as if some deeply hidden gaze was observing him almost imperceptibly.
Wu Shaogan didn't actually realize it; he just had the instinct, and he was quite certain of it.
Undoubtedly, the cultivator secretly observing him must be far stronger than him.
Wu Shaogan had some guesses.
This vague feeling... must be from several senior uncles I haven't actually met yet, right?
So Wu Shaogan remained calm and allowed himself to be observed.
He would certainly not encounter any danger in front of his master's cave.
·
dark place.
Several young-looking male and female cultivators looked at the handsome young man not far away and nodded slightly.
Subtle whispers of souls echoed between them.
“Nephew Wu looks quite good.”
"I thought my senior brother would take on a disciple who was as tall and strong as him, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome."
"That's good too. When the senior brother takes him out in the future, it will be quite prestigious."
"A storefront's appearance still depends on its actual strength."
"He was able to rise so high on the Hidden Dragon List, so his strength must have been honed through countless trials."
"I wonder if his personality is compatible with that of my senior brother?"
"Our personalities are probably similar... Senior Brother never bothers with other matters. Before, I thought I should let him know about my background, so I went to investigate. Who would have thought that so many things would happen in such a short time? This disciple acts with a sense of swift justice and vengeance, but he also has his bottom line. He is a very good prospect!"
"Senior Brother has chosen the right person..."
The group chatted as they looked around.
From his words, it was clear that he quite liked this new junior apprentice.
“After my junior brother leaves, let’s talk to our senior brother about these things.”
"By the way! Has Senior Brother finished cleaning up that cave?"
"Of course it's all packed up."
"No, what I mean is, junior sister, have you been observing the situation closely? Our senior brother is impulsive; if he makes a mistake, he might inadvertently—"
"Don't worry, I know that! Just in case, I specially set up a defensive array in the cave. As long as Senior Brother doesn't attack with all his might to prevent the mountain from collapsing, he'll be fine!"
"That's good, that's good!"
The group started laughing and joking again.
It was at this moment that a puppet emerged from the cave and invited Wu Shaogan inside.
·
This was Wu Shaogan's first time visiting his master's residence.
Looking in from the outside, there is only a deep cave entrance, as if there is only a vast expanse of darkness inside, and nothing can be seen at all.
At this moment, Wu Shaogan entered the cave, which was indeed completely dark.
But at the same time, he also understood why.
Because! Right in front of us is a mountain path, at the very top of which is a stone wall!
Moreover, there were no lights on either side, so no light came through at all; it was pitch black.
·
After the puppet led Wu Shaogan to the end, it began to turn.
In an instant, a stone chamber appeared.
The stone chamber was empty, with only a few stone tables and benches, and no other furnishings.
After passing through the stone chamber, the view suddenly opened up.
What a magnificent and deep cave!
It looked as if half of the mountain had been hollowed out; it was very wide and very huge.
The stone chamber seemed to be a platform connecting to this deep cave.
Looking down, the bottom of the cave was about ten feet below, like a valley, but the bottom was much flatter than a valley.
There are many broken and cracked marks all around the bottom of the cave.
Wu Shaogan seemed to be deep in thought.
This must be where Master occasionally practices martial arts?
There is no stone bridge above the deep cave; there is only a similarly protruding stone chamber on the opposite side.
Perhaps my master is over there?
The puppet leaped into the air!
Wu Shaogan dodged and followed.
Both the man and the puppet landed in the stone chamber.
Keep walking forward.
At the other end of the stone chamber, there is still a spacious area.
This was no longer a deep pit dug downwards, but another large stone chamber.
There was a huge stone bed, and several excavated stone cabinets with embedded stone doors, which could hold things. They should contain some daily necessities. The stone doors were closed, and you couldn't see what was inside unless you used your soul to scan them.
It is really impolite to use one's spiritual sense to scan one's master's belongings.
Wu Shaogan politely didn't look at it for long.
His gaze fell on the burly man who was sitting imposingly on the stone bed.
The burly man, with a booming voice, immediately stood up and appeared in front of Wu Shaogan.
He raised his hand and slapped Wu Shaogan's shoulder repeatedly.
Wu Shaogan: "..."
If you put in just a little more force, he will break his bones.
Master's palm strike was incredibly powerful and his control was precise; he truly deserves to be a peak Spirit Transformation expert!
·
Wu Shaogan let Jiang Chongguang take pictures of him.
After at least seven or eight slaps, Jiang Chongguang seemed to feel that he had finished expressing his encouragement to his disciple and withdrew his hand.
Then he laughed and said, "My apprentice is here? Please have a seat!"
Wu Shaogan first bowed to Jiang Chongguang and said, "Greetings, Master."
He then obeyed the order and sat on the other side of the stone bed.
Wu Shaogan smiled, but his expression was slightly stiff.
...My master is indeed not particular about details.
·
Jiang Chongguang was a very straightforward person, and he immediately expressed his joy: "Good lad! You've quietly brought great honor to your teacher! It wasn't in vain that I took you in!"
Wu Shao chuckled dryly and said, "Thanks to my master."
Jiang Chongguang said, "It's all thanks to this bullshit."
Wu Shaogan: "..."
Jiang Chongguang didn't care about these things. He readily took out a mustard seed bag, handed it to Wu Shaogan, and said, "This is your reward for reaching eighth place. Your senior uncles pooled together some Xuan Pearls for you, but what kind of reward is that? It's too little! This is to make up for it! Take a look!"
Wu Shaogan accepted it without hesitation and indeed took a look at it.
The next moment, he smiled.
Inside the mustard seed bag were a full thirty million mysterious pearls.
That's 300,000 low-grade Xuan Stones!
The make-up rewards were substantial—but as far as he knew, there shouldn't be that many.
However, A-Cai would be very happy if she saw these mysterious pearls.
Wu Shaogan was naturally very happy as well.
·
Jiang Chongguang then took out a small gadget, about the size of a palm, and tossed it to Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan caught it and looked at what he was holding.
Is it... a warship?
And this aura...
It is a level seven flying artifact.
Jiang Chongguang said, "Take it! When you go out to train in the future, you can use this to fly or stay in the wilderness."
Wu Shaogan immediately understood and quickly figured out its use.
Although Jiang Chongguang was impatient, he wouldn't give something and then not explain it.
In just a few words, he explained the origin and purpose of the multi-story ship.
·
A level 7 mid-grade building ship, with a small building inside for living.
Its overall defense reaches the Spirit Transformation level, capable of withstanding powerful attacks from Spirit Transformation cultivators.
While it doesn't consume much Xuan Stone for simple transportation, it does consume a considerable amount of Xuan Stone when attacked.
Jiang Chongguang has already recharged his account.
It should last for about a hundred or two hundred years.
In addition, the ship also carries powerful offensive weapons.
The attack level can reach up to level seven—but if it's not controlled by the cultivator's own Xuan power, but rather by Xuan stones, then it can only unleash a level six attack at most.
·
After listening carefully, Wu Shaogan quickly said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master."
Jiang Chongguang casually said, "No need to thank me. I wasn't originally planning to give you this, but you made me happy! Haha!"
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly: "It is my great honor to make Master happy."
Jiang Chongguang nodded, accepting his disciple's respect with a smile.
Then, he took out another item and handed it to Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan accepted it and watched it as usual.
This time, it's clearly a defensive item.
It looks like an armband.
Wu Shaogan reached out and gently stroked it.
He then discovered that, with this rubbing, one had actually turned into two.
Wu Shaogan looked at Jiang Chongguang in surprise.
Jiang Chongguang said matter-of-factly, "You and your Daoist partner each have one."
After spending time with his master, Wu Shaogan thought that his master should be someone who didn't care about trivial matters, and shouldn't have thought of A-Cai. But then he remembered that the reason he became his master's disciple was precisely because his master had thought of A-Cai…
He couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
My master is unconventional and easygoing, but he is also meticulous despite his rough exterior.
Nothing will be overlooked as long as the master is willing to pay attention to it.
·
Wu Shaogan's favorite thing is when others respect A Cai, and that makes him feel very happy.
"Then this disciple thanks Master on behalf of A-Cai."
Jiang Chongguang waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me."
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly.
Jiang Chongguang's behavior was still very straightforward. He gave something good first, and then moved on to the next topic without any transition.
"I was away for a long time this time and didn't give you much guidance. What did you accumulate? Tell me everything, and I will explain it to you!"
·
Jiang Chongguang's self-designation kept changing, from "I" to "master" and back to "master," and I didn't pay much attention to it.
Perhaps subconsciously, he suddenly became somewhat solemn when preparing to instruct his disciples.
·
Wu Shaogan naturally began to ask questions.
“Master, I made a discovery when I was practicing archery earlier…”
Jiang Chongguang's towering frame was relaxed, but a glint of light flickered in his eyes, indicating that he was listening attentively.
He found his disciple's question somewhat interesting.
·
Wu Shaogan's comprehension is indeed exceptional, not only in his understanding of various traditions but also in the inspiration he draws when creating his own secret techniques.
At this moment, Wu Shaogan asked questions while also explaining his own thoughts.
Jiang Chongguang is extremely powerful.
In fact, his comprehension is extraordinary; it's just that he doesn't usually put too much thought into trivial matters.
When he actually lectured his disciples, Jiang Chongguang was always able to get straight to the point.
Wu Shaogan was overjoyed that he had grasped the new secret technique so quickly.
Jiang Chongguang quickly saw through the logic behind this new secret technique, and with Wu Shaogan's explanation, he swiftly identified its flaws and found a way to enhance its power.
However, Jiang Chongguang did not directly inform his disciples.
After all, the development of a cultivator's own comprehended secret technique depends on how he continues it.
If Jiang Chongguang says too much, it will contain many of his cultivation ideas, which may not be beneficial to Wu Shaogan.
Jiang Chongguang's guidance was all indirect.
Wu Shaogan knew perfectly well what was going on, but the more he practiced, the clearer the questions became...
Before we knew it, several hours had passed.
However, the lessons were worthwhile. Wu Shaogan's new secret technique had already patched up several flaws and had also been updated in power to a certain extent.
·
It was evening.
Wu Shaogan finally finished asking his questions.
Although Jiang Chongguang liked this disciple very much, he had no intention of treating the disciple to a meal or cultivating a relationship with him.
Seeing that Wu Shaogan had no further questions, he said, "If you have any questions later, just ask."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly and replied, "Yes."
Jiang Chongguang nodded: "If everything's alright, you can go back now."
Wu Shaogan responded again.
Then, he took a few steps forward, bowed again, and bid farewell to his master.
Jiang Chongguang laughed loudly, "Go, go, no need for so much formality!"
Wu Shaogan then leisurely walked out of the cave.
At the entrance to the cave, there was still the same carriage that had brought him there.
The puppet, acting as the coachman, carried Wu Shaogan towards Duobao Peak.
·
After Wu Shaogan left, several more people appeared in the cave in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Chongguang, unfazed, casually remarked, "You've all come?"
The junior brothers and sisters looked at their senior brother like this and laughed, chattering amongst themselves.
"Senior Brother, what do you think of your junior brother's personality? Are you satisfied with him?"
"What did you teach your nephew?"
"I think Senior Brother did a good job sticking to his principles this time; nothing happened in the cave!"
"Hahaha! Senior Brother has really made something of himself!"
"I think she wants to establish a better image in front of her disciples!"
"I wonder what my junior disciple thinks?"
Jiang Chongguang listened to it all; although it was very noisy, he heard every single word.
He waited for the commotion to subside before answering each question.
"My apprentice has a very good personality, I like him very much!"
“My apprentice has just mastered a new secret technique and asked me how to further evolve it, so of course I told him this.”
"I can't let my apprentice sit on the rubble. I'll clean it up myself!"
"Of course."
"That's natural!"
"My apprentice is very obedient and respects me, his master, very much. In the future, if you encounter me when I go out, don't be so stingy if my apprentice achieves anything!"
The junior students all answered in unison: "Yes! If this happens again, we'll double it three to five times."
Jiang Chongguang was finally satisfied.
·
In fact, the several Spirit Transformation experts were not stingy at all; in fact, they had already given them the full amount.
However, since the senior brother said so, and they don't lack a few more Xuanzhu, they can give them more next time.
They knew in their hearts that after all these years, their senior brother had only accepted this one disciple, which showed how much he valued him. Moreover, with their senior brother's wealth, he could give as much money as he wanted to his disciple.
·
After asking these questions, the junior brothers and sisters then inquired about why their senior brother had returned late this time.
Jiang Chongguang didn't hide anything and told him about how the pretty-boy alchemist insisted on going into the tomb after they encountered it, and how he accompanied him.
What treasure he ultimately obtained remained a secret for Sang Yunchu, and Jiang Chongguang did not reveal it.
What he said most often was that the mechanisms inside the tomb were both cumbersome and tedious...
·
The junior students, seeing that nothing was amiss, began to talk about Wu Shaogan's background and what he had supposedly done recently.
Jiang Chongguang frowned as he listened.
He had no intention of investigating his disciple's past, but he never expected that his disciple would actually struggle to find such a path!
It was really not easy.
Jiang Chongguang's face was cold, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
Given his temperament, he would definitely erase all those who bullied his disciple!
but……
Jiang Chongguang didn't say anything in the end.
After all, since the apprentice did not actively seek help, it meant he did not want his master to get involved.
Jiang Chongguang simply gathered some more Xuan Stones.
Send some more to your apprentice as a little comfort.
·
On Duobao Peak.
Wu Shaogan returned, but A Cai was nowhere to be seen.
He understood that since their respective masters had been away for a long time, their return this time would naturally involve giving guidance and testing them.
Ah Cai probably still has a lot of pills to refine, so it's understandable that she'll be back later than him.
However, after thinking about it, Wu Shaogan still went out the door.
After a whistle, Qingyu descended from the sky.
·
Wu Shaogan could have simply waited in the mountains, but since Zhong Cai hadn't returned, he felt it was rather pointless.
Since that's the case, why doesn't he go pick up A-Cai himself?
·
Qingyu didn't fly very fast this time.
Wu Shaogan was also worried that if A-Cai also finished her get out of class, she would be driven back.
Therefore, be careful not to miss it on the way.
·
Not long after, Wu Shaogan arrived at the Meijia Mountain Range.
At the mansion atop the mountain, a puppet saw him.
Wu Shaogan's gaze fell on the carriage parked to one side, and he understood somewhat.
Acai probably hasn't left yet.
The puppet must have been given some kind of instruction, because upon seeing Wu Shaogan, it not only did not drive him away, but also invited him to the mountain.
Wu Shaogan told Qingyu to fly around and play nearby, while he stood quietly in front of the magnificent mansion and waited.
·
Zhong Cai refined many batches of elixirs in the waterside pavilion.
Finally, Sang Yunchu finished testing his level and prepared to end today's lesson.
Zhong Cai stood up and thanked him.
Sang Yunchu said, "If you want to come in the future, you can come anytime."
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "Thank you, Master."
Suddenly, a subtle expression appeared on Sang Yunchu's face.
Zhong Cai noticed this and couldn't help but ask, "Master?"
Sang Yunchu chuckled softly: "I originally planned to have a carriage take you back, but now I think it's unnecessary."
Zhong Cai was taken aback, then realized what he meant and almost blurted out, "Old Wu came to pick me up?"
Seeing his disciple's overjoyed expression, Sang Yunchu's eyes softened, and he smiled with a hint of teasing: "A day apart feels like three autumns, and I think your husband is just like that."
Zhong Cai said very sincerely, "Master, I am the same way."
Sang Yunchu was taken aback, then couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"You two are a loving couple, which pleases your teacher greatly."
Zhong Cai chuckled, and his movements became somewhat eager, no longer as well-behaved as before.
Sang Yunchu laughed and said, "Alright, then hurry up and go meet your lover!"
Zhong Cai jumped up and said happily, "Yes! Master, I'm off!"
Sang Yunchu feigned impatience: "Go, go."
