Chapter 107 The Sun-Shooting Bow Returns!
Zhong Cai walked out excitedly and saw an extremely handsome young man standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the gate of the mansion.
The moment he emerged, the young man gave him a gentle smile.
Zhong Cai's heart melted at the sight, and she almost immediately broke into a bright smile, her eyes shining brightly.
"Old Wu! You're here!"
Zhong Cai nimbly hopped over and hung directly on Wu Shaogan's body.
Wu Shaogan quickly supported him and said with a smile, "A-Cai, I'm here."
Zhong Cai was genuinely happy.
Although he missed Lao Wu very much, the two of them had agreed to meet again when they got back in the evening, and he thought he would have to wait a while. But Lao Wu actually came to pick him up!
Zhong Cai was incredibly excited! She didn't even know how to express herself!
So he just rubbed against Wu Shaogan's face, and then rubbed against him again.
Seeing Zhong Cai so happy, Wu Shaogan couldn't help but feel happy too.
In particular, A-Cai was especially happy because of him.
Wu Shaogan held Zhong Cai, his face full of joy, showing no trace of the fierce look he had when he was competing for the charts.
After a while, Wu Shaogan suddenly glanced into the mansion.
Then, he gently patted Zhong Cai on the back and said, "Cai, let's go back. I have a lot to show you."
Zhong Cai then jumped down to the ground.
Wu Shaogan then turned around and carried Zhong Cai on his back again.
Zhong Cai lay on Wu Shaogan's back, resting her chin on his shoulder, feeling even better.
He said, "Old Wu, I also have a lot to show you."
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly, and in a leap, he had already taken Zhong Cai and landed on Qingyu's back.
Qingyu seemed to be infected by the joy of its two "fathers" and let out a melodious chirp. Then it flapped its thick wings and flew away like rolling clouds, bathed in the glow of the evening sun.
·
At the same moment, in the waterside pavilion deep within the mansion.
Sang Yunchu, who was sitting quietly admiring the beautiful scenery of the lake, picked up her teacup, brought it to her lips, took a sip, and smiled gently.
He seemed to be talking to himself:
"What a perceptive young man."
"These couples nowadays are truly enviable."
"It was incredibly lively."
Previously, Sang Yunchu's soul had actually been accompanying his disciple outside, taking in everything that happened outside.
This was the first time Sang Yunchu had truly witnessed her disciple and her husband interacting.
It looks very interesting.
·
On the other side, Wu Shaogan carried Zhong Cai on his back and never put him down.
Qingyu landed on Duobao Peak.
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "Old Wu, we haven't even been apart for a short while, why did you come to pick me up?"
Wu Shaogan, perfectly in sync with him, immediately confessed, "Because I miss A-Cai very much."
Zhong Cai asked with a bright smile, "How much do you want to?"
Wu Shaogan deliberately thought for a moment before saying, "In your local dialect, it's like every second feels like a year."
Zhong Cai burst into laughter.
Wu Shaogan continued to carry Zhong Cai on his back, and so on, until he carried him into the mansion.
·
Without any need for discussion, the two went straight into the ancient city.
Although the mansion on Duobao Peak was quite nice, the place that Zhong Cai subconsciously envisioned in the inner city was their true home.
The two leaned close together intimately.
Zhong Cai thought to herself, "This must be what they mean by 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'?"
Wu Shaogan didn't say anything, but he practically hugged Zhong Cai tightly.
Zhong Cai said, "My master gave me so many things!"
Wu Shaogan also said, "My master is too."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Afterwards, without much further discussion, they changed to a shoulder-to-shoulder position and prepared to each take out what they had obtained.
Just then, a puppet manager came to report from outside the ancient city.
Wu Shaogan said, "I'll go take a look."
Zhong Cai nodded and urged, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
Wu Shaogan vanished in a flash.
Zhong Cai rested her chin on her hand, showing little interest in demonstrating anything.
In the next instant, Wu Shaogan returned, appearing in the same spot.
Zhong Cai immediately looked over and asked curiously, "Old Wu, what's wrong?"
Wu Shaogan took out a mustard seed bag, his expression slightly complicated, and said, "It seems that a senior uncle went to inquire about my background and then told Master. And Master felt that I was hurt in the past, so he specially gave me some Xuan Stones... to heal the wounds in my heart?"
Zhong Cai was taken aback.
Logically, he should have wanted to laugh out loud.
But in reality, he didn't want to laugh at all; instead, he felt a strange mix of emotions.
Master Jiang may look rugged, but he actually cares a lot about his disciples.
Wu Shaogan shared the same idea.
He sighed softly and said, "Ah Cai, I..."
Zhong Cai grasped Wu Shaogan's hand, leaned her head against him, and said, "It's fine."
Wu Shaogan paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.
·
The two snuggled together quietly for a while.
Zhong Cai quickly cheered and said with a smile, "Master Sang is very good to me too! Both of our masters are very good! This is great news!"
Wu Shaogan quickly composed himself and said, "It is indeed a good thing and worth celebrating."
The two continued to gaze at each other, their eyes both filled with a bright light.
Wu Shaogan handed the mustard seed bag directly to Zhong Cai.
Their family's wealth was originally all in Zhong Cai's hands.
Zhong Cai opened it and was somewhat surprised: "One hundred thousand low-grade Xuan stones!"
Wu Shaogan had also tried to enter the mental space and nodded.
Zhong Cai suddenly said somewhat strangely, "Master Jiang thinks that no matter how depressed and heartbroken you are, as long as you spend more money, you can be healed... right?" He turned his head and asked, "Then, Old Wu, have you been healed?"
Wu Shaogan answered earnestly, "Because you, A-Cai, are by my side, I have never been depressed." He paused here, "But, Master gave me these things, and I am even happier."
·
Zhong Cai understands.
The only one who truly experienced the ups and downs was Old Wu. With him by his side, Old Wu indeed didn't dwell on the past and didn't need any sympathy or pity from others.
But the "master" is different from the others.
A master is essentially another father (or mother), and the relationship is naturally one of the closest – in fact, the bond between many masters and disciples is even deeper than that between parents and children.
Feelings need to be nurtured.
In the beginning, whether it was Lao Wu or anyone else, the main reason for choosing to become an apprentice was to have a powerful backer; the bond between master and apprentice was naturally very shallow.
However, after learning about Lao Wu's past, Master Jiang showed such affection.
Moreover, Zhong Cai herself has close elders, but Lao Wu does not.
Old Wu has one now.
Even though Lao Wu no longer needed the care of his elders, the sudden arrival of such care after never having received it before still left him with a strange feeling.
·
Zhong Cai hugged Wu Shaogan and said with a smile, "Cherish this friendship, Lao Wu! I will cherish both of my masters as well!"
Wu Shaogan's expression softened: "Okay."
This feeling isn't actually bad.
·
The two of them were hugging and cuddling, always forgetting their business.
After that subtle emotion subsided, they remembered what they were originally supposed to do.
Zhong Cai smiled: "Come on?"
Wu Shaogan nodded and said, "Come on."
They both understood each other's thoughts. In the past, they might have compared whose master gave them a more generous reward.
But this time, they didn't make any comparisons.
He simply took out everything he had obtained.
·
As usual, Wu Shaogan handed over all the mustard seed bags containing the Xuanzhu.
Zhong Cai accepted it as usual, and also showed off the Xuan Pearl she had obtained, which she also put away.
Even a casual calculation reveals a staggering number.
This time alone, Zhong Cai obtained 20 million Xuanzhu from Master Sang.
Wu Shaogan received a reward of 30 million Xuanzhu and a consolation prize of 100,000 low-grade Xuan stones from Master Jiang.
Combined and converted into Xuanzhu, the two of them received a total of 60 million!
Of course, it seems that Zhong Cai will receive half of that.
But in reality, alchemists are still the wealthier ones.
After all, Zhong Cai was only at the Palace Opening Realm, and was merely a Level Two Alchemist.
Sang Yunchu, however, waved his hand and gave them all the consecrated level items.
·
Zhong Cai counted all the Xuanzhu they had.
The first thing I said was, "Let's not talk about the odd amounts..."
As soon as he said that, Zhong Cai was stunned.
He can now disregard even the smallest fraction of Xuanzhu's wealth!
Seeing Zhong Cai's reaction, Wu Shaogan couldn't help but laugh and say, "We're already rich."
Zhong Cai rolled her eyes at him and said with amusement, "Don't be fooled by what you have now. If you wanted it to disappear, it would be gone in an instant, wouldn't it?"
Wu Shaogan immediately reflected, "I spent too much."
Zhong Cai immediately retorted, "How can you say you spend more? The higher the level, the more I spend!"
Wu Shaogan: "I still spent more."
Zhong Cai said, "A day is five hundred years, and I have even more!"
Wu Shaogan: "I..."
Zhong Cai: "Me!"
As they talked, they started arguing.
They bickered for a while, then started laughing again.
·
After counting the mystical pearls and stones, Zhong Cai carefully took out a small ball with gold and silver colors.
Wu Shaogan raised an eyebrow: "Did Master Sang give this to you?"
Zhong Cai nodded, shoved the small ball into Wu Shaogan's hand, and asked with a smile, "Old Wu, guess what this is?"
Wu Shaogan guessed, "Master Sang is a very meticulous elder. Since he is giving it to his disciple, it should be a defensive treasure?"
Zhong Cai immediately burst into laughter: "That's right! Old Wu is clever!"
Wu Shaogan instinctively said, "A-Cai is also clever."
Zhong Cai smiled and whispered, "This is a gold and silver robe. Actually, it's not just for me, it's for you too."
Wu Shaogan looked at him curiously.
Zhong Cai explained: "A high-grade, level seven treasure robe, exclusively for Daoist couples!"
He spoke quickly and clearly, and swiftly recounted everything that Master Sang had told him to his old man, Lao Wu.
After listening carefully, Wu Shaogan let out a soft breath, took out something, and handed it to Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai took it and saw that it was an armband. She also looked at Wu Shaogan with curiosity.
Wu Shaogan said, "They are also a pair of armbands, defensive treasures, mid-grade level seven, which Master gave to you and me respectively."
Zhong Cai's expression shifted slightly, and she couldn't help but say, "Both of our masters are very concerned about our safety."
·
It is only natural for a disciple to be considered as such, but the fact that the two masters did not forget their disciple's partner shows their true sincerity.
Neither of them could remain unmoved.
·
Zhong Cai separated the armband, carefully dripped her blood to identify the owner, and put it on her upper arm.
Wu Shaogan did the same.
Then, the two of them stretched out their palms and grasped the small gold and silver balls together, infusing them with their profound energy.
The next instant, the gold and silver balls separated.
What was originally just an ordinary toy now reveals two very... gorgeous outfits.
Like gold and silver threads, it shines brilliantly.
But since they are all level seven Xuan artifacts, they certainly wouldn't be made of gold or silver, but rather of more precious refining materials, or even rare and precious natural treasures.
·
Zhong Cai looked at the two precious garments and felt as if she were about to be blinded by their brilliance.
Wu Shaogan couldn't help but chuckle: "This precious garment is truly extraordinary."
Zhong Cai couldn't help but say, "If you actually wore that, it would be too conspicuous."
Wu Shaogan then laughed and said, "Once you put it on, you should be able to change it at will."
Zhong Cai thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
Then, the two of them each held up the garment.
It shone even brighter in the light!
Zhong Cai then asked, "Old Wu, which one do you want?"
Wu Shao chuckled dryly, "I think A Cai would look even more radiant in a golden gown."
Zhong Cai agreed.
If Lao Wu wants to see him wear gold, then he can wear it!
Anyway, he wears nice clothes because he wants Lao Wu to see them; Lao Wu liking them is the most important thing!
So Zhong Cai readily stripped off her clothes.
Wu Shaogan watched with a smile.
Zhong Cai spun around, showing off her figure to Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan's gaze deepened.
Zhong Cai chuckled.
In an instant, all the atmosphere vanished.
·
Zhong Cai quickly put on the golden robe.
In that instant, it was as if his whole body was enveloped in golden light.
Zhong Cai has fair skin, is pretty and intelligent, and is usually very likable.
Wearing this golden robe made him even more... radiant.
In short, it was different from what Zhong Cai had expected.
After putting on the golden robe, although it was still dazzling, it matched Zhong Cai very well, and the robe itself did not show much presence.
It only makes people feel that Zhong Cai is becoming more and more lively and beautiful.
·
Wu Shaogan stared intently at Zhong Cai, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
Zhong Cai smiled at him and asked loudly, "Old Wu, am I good-looking or not?!"
Wu Shaogan exclaimed without hesitation, "Beautiful!"
Zhong Cai was overjoyed.
Wu Shaogan immediately added, "A-Cai, try controlling it with your mind."
Zhong Cai realized what was happening and quickly did as instructed.
The next instant, the golden robe had already concealed all its light, and looked just like an ordinary golden garment.
Zhong Cai turned her head, as if she was thinking about something again.
The golden robe shrunk back in a flash and disappeared.
Zhong Cai said with a strange expression, "It's become an undershirt and trousers."
Then, with another thought, the precious robe popped out again!
Then, Zhong Cai's precious robe shrank back.
And then, it popped up again...
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly: "A level seven treasure robe, indeed as I wish."
Zhong Cai also thought it was very good.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized that he was already dressed, but Lao Wu wasn't!
Zhong Cai immediately gave Wu Shaogan an urging look.
He had high expectations.
In fact, after seeing the true appearance of the gold and silver robes, he also felt that Lao Wu would look better in silver.
·
Wu Shaogan was also very quick and efficient.
In just a few moves, he was dressed in silver, looking handsome and dashing.
Zhong Cai was stunned for a moment.
This would really suit Lao Wu perfectly!
It immediately brought out Lao Wu's temperament!
It makes Lao Wu seem really expensive!
·
Indeed, if Zhong Cai's golden robes accentuated his ethereal and dazzling beauty, then the silver robes worn by Wu Shaogan exuded a noble and haughty beauty.
When Wu Shaogan showed off like that, he really gave off the air of a wealthy young master...
Zhong Caichao likes it!
·
The two looked at each other, completely absorbed in each other's beauty.
They both felt that they had fallen in love with each other all over again.
Adding to the love that had been lingering all along, Zhong Cai almost wanted to shout it out!
Wu Shaogan, on the other hand, wanted to hide the bell.
·
After a while, the two of them snuggled together affectionately.
At this point, to avoid staring at each other in a daze, they both transformed their precious robes into inner garments.
Then, they were indeed able to control their excitement.
·
Zhong Cai then took out a small boat.
Wu Shaogan also took out a multi-story ship.
The two looked at each other.
Undoubtedly, the two masters had reached the same conclusion again.
Even the quality of flying boats and multi-story ships is the same.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan also had a very good understanding.
The two of them each claimed ownership of their magical artifacts, and then they spoke one after the other:
"In the future, when I need to travel light, I will take a flying boat."
"When you need to show off your power, you ride a multi-story ship."
"Don't go too fast."
"It doesn't have to be too conspicuous."
"But you can't be too weak when you need to be high-profile."
“A-Cai is right.”
·
The two of them previously only had one level seven resource, but now they have obtained several.
For two Spirit Transformation experts, level seven resources are not commonplace; this is a heavy favor.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan carefully put away the flying artifact.
The two discussed it for a few minutes.
"Wear your gold and silver robes when you go out."
"The armband too."
·
Zhong Cai concluded, "Anyway, we're incredibly rich now, so I have a plan."
Wu Shao gave him a dry laugh.
Zhong Cai said decisively, "I'll get you the Sun-Shooting Bow first!"
For Wu Shaogan, the Sun-Shooting Bow is the most convenient weapon. Although he won't use it all the time even if he manages to condense it now, the fact that he has regained it after losing it is a kind of comfort.
Yes, to appease.
There was always a hint of malice in Wu Shaogan's eyes, partly due to the loss of his former companion treasure—even though the new one now belonged to him and A Cai, and was the one he preferred.
Zhong Cai understands his old man, Lao Wu, and even though Lao Wu never says it, he always keeps it in mind.
The reason we used to spend money on Taoist soldiers first was for the safety of the two of us, and also to take revenge on Lao Wu, which was a higher priority.
Now, everything that is due to Lao Wu should be returned.
Otherwise, deep down, Zhong Cai always felt uneasy, though she never expressed it.
·
Zhong Cai counted on his fingers and said confidently, "We have the equivalent of 750,000 low-grade Xuan Stones."
"Of the 500,000, we'll use them to condense the Sun-Shooting Bow for you. We'll keep 200,000 as a reserve, and the remaining 50,000, which is 5 million Xuan Pearls, will be used to summon Dao Soldiers."
Wu Shaogan pondered, "There will probably still be special Dao soldiers..."
Zhong Cai said, "Then let them go out and travel on their own."
Wu Shaogan thought for a moment and then said, "There's no need to spend so much." He smiled and said, "We already have enough manpower."
Zhong Cai hesitated and said, "I want to summon a golden-armored soldier and train him."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly, "The upper limit of the Golden Armored Soldiers is only the Spirit Transformation Realm, but the amount of Xuan Stones required is between 100,000 and 500,000 mid-grade Xuan Stones. They are certainly a good helper for you and me, but we don't need them for the time being."
Zhong Cai turned her head to look at him.
Wu Shaogan said, "All of my senior uncles are at the Spirit Transformation Realm. If we ever encounter a situation where we need such powerful individuals, we can call upon them."
Zhong Cai thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense."
Let's put the matter of summoning Dao soldiers aside for now.
Once they've been summoned, they need to be trained. They currently have tens of thousands of them, which is more than enough.
·
The two acted on their word, holding hands and appearing together on the city wall.
In the small hall on the left, numerous weapon racks stood there, unchanged.
The two walked to the separate weapons rack—the one that belonged to them.
On the left side of the weapon rack, there was the still-unfinished Sun-Shooting Bow, radiating a halo.
Zhong Cai looked at the Sun-Shooting Bow, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
·
The Sun-Shooting Bow is actually a very beautiful hard bow with a golden-red color. Despite its name, which means "shooting the sun," it shines as brightly as a great sun.
Every time Zhong Cai saw the Sun-Shooting Bow, he would be drawn to it.
Wu Shaogan was unguarded with Zhong Cai, and after discovering Zhong Cai's expectations, he would often take out the Sun-Shooting Bow for Zhong Cai to admire.
Zhong Cai had touched the bow with his own hands, felt its warmth, and even wanted to feel the bowstring—luckily, Wu Shaogan stopped him, otherwise, if Zhong Cai wasn't the owner of the Sun-Shooting Bow, his fingers would have been cut off by the bowstring.
Now, several years later, Zhong Cai is still very much looking forward to touching the Sun-Shooting Bow again.
·
Zhong Cai murmured, "Soon, Old Wu will be able to take out the Sun-Shooting Bow again."
Wu Shaogan grasped Zhong Cai's hand and gently squeezed it.
Zhong Cai sighed again: "It's a pity that we can't use gold-red anymore."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly: "The dark gold color is more composed."
Zhong Cai was comforted and said happily, "The one before suited your temperament back then, and this one suits your temperament now."
Wu Shaogan chuckled: "A-Cai is right."
As the two chatted and laughed, they were also trying to ease the barely perceptible unease in their hearts.
Zhong Cai took a deep breath and took out the mustard seed bag.
Inside here are a full two hundred thousand low-grade mystic stones!
·
A powerful attraction seemed to suddenly appear on the hazy halo surrounding the phantom of the Sun-Shooting Bow.
When Zhong Cai poured the 200,000 Xuan Stones towards the halo, the halo seemed to open its giant mouth and instantly swallowed them up.
In an instant, the top of the Sun-Shooting Bow began to be coated with a layer of golden light.
It was as if something invisible was wiping it, and with each spot it touched, the Sun-Shooting Bow turned golden, with a faint red glow shimmering at the edges, creating a magnificent contrast with the gold.
Wu Shaogan's mind raced, and he said, "Turn it to a dark gold color."
The Sun-Shooting Bow seemed to understand the command; in an instant, the golden light receded, revealing a deep, dark color.
Amidst the ink-black hue, a subtle golden glow shines through, exuding a kind of understated yet luxurious beauty.
Zhong Cai's eyes lit up: "Hey! It's actually quite pretty!"
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly: "Indeed, quite remarkable."
The two of them thought he was quite pleasing to the eye.
This is not surprising, since this place is within their innate treasure, and everything here should meet their needs.
Other condensed weapons might have to suit the tastes of special Dao soldiers, but this one belongs to Wu Shaogan, so it has to be a color that both of them like.
·
Two hundred thousand low-grade mystic stones are certainly not enough.
Zhong Cai only has some scattered Xuan Stones left from drawing cards, so she will continue to invest Xuan Pearls for now.
The number of Xuanzhu must be as many as thirty million!
Wu Shaogan and Zhong Cai worked together.
Countless mysterious pearls were splashed into the halo by them.
The mysterious pearl transformed into wisps of power, surging wildly into the Sun-Shooting Bow, making the bow increasingly clear.
Just like a pearl that has been covered in dust, it shines again!
·
Gradually, the Sun-Shooting Bow truly materialized.
Suddenly, the bowstring emitted a soft hum.
It was as if layers of ripples suddenly spread through the air, radiating a strange power.
The dark gold Sun-Shooting Bow hung prominently on the weapon rack!
Zhong Cai said almost impatiently, "Old Wu! Quickly try it out!"
Wu Shaogan raised his hand and, with a forceful pull of his wrist, took down the Sun-Shooting Bow.
This Sun-Shooting Bow is now a top-tier, level-six quality bow.
·
Wu Shaogan's gaze swept over the Sun-Shooting Bow inch by inch.
It's been a long time, so long it feels like a lifetime ago.
Although Wu Shaogan knew that the grade of the Sun-Shooting Bow had been greatly reduced, when he actually touched it, it was no different from before.
At first glance, the quality seems to be the same, but the intensity of the aura it emits is much weaker.
This reveals that the actual inner flesh is actually quite different.
Zhong Cai also stared at the Sun-Shooting Bow.
In his observation, the shape of the Sun-Shooting Bow remained unchanged.
However, he certainly wouldn't be as clear-headed as his husband, Mr. Wu, on many other aspects.
Zhong Cai looked at Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan slowly spoke: "Nothing has changed."
Zhong Cai couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the Sun-Shooting Bow.
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as before.
·
Wu Shaogan picked up the hard bow, pulled Zhong Cai along, and together they went to the inner city's martial arts arena.
Zhong Cai sat in the pavilion outside the arena, looking at the young man standing quietly in the arena.
The young man was tall and handsome, with a strong bow in his hand and long black hair moving without wind, revealing an aura that seemed silent but actually disregarded others.
This scene felt like a return to a few years ago.
At that time, although they were not in a territory that belonged solely to the two of them, they were in another extremely wide valley.
Zhong Cai also stayed outside, watching his friend demonstrate the power of his bow and arrow.
Now, he is looking at his beloved other half.
My emotions became even more excited.
My blood was practically boiling!
·
At that moment, the young man suddenly moved.
A dark gold, stiff bow was suddenly raised, a long arm gripped the bow, and the other hand suddenly exerted force!
The bowstring was drawn back like a full moon.
In an instant, three long arrows, all of the same dark gold color, burst forth, producing a piercing sonic boom!
The long arrows shot straight out and landed squarely on the sturdy targets on one side of the training ground!
The target was very hard, but after being hit by three arrows in succession, it still exploded into pieces after making a cracking sound!
Then, the young man soared into the air.
Countless rays of light appeared on his bowstring.
These rays of light burst forth simultaneously in an instant, transforming into countless points of light, or like a rain of arrows.
It fell softly, all of it hitting the ground.
The next moment, countless dense white spots appeared on the ground of the training ground.
The training ground's defenses are incredibly formidable, comparable in quality to city walls—city walls are strong enough to withstand attacks from experts at the Palace Constructing Realm!
Of course, while the attack on the ground at this moment is terrible, it is by no means devastating.
However, the aftershocks of the force still left some rather unsightly marks.
It's like having pockmarks.
·
Zhong Cai: "..."
From excitement and enthusiasm to complete darkness, it only takes a few breaths.
Old Wu is really handsome!
However, the target was also quite unlucky.
He got this thing when he drew cards, and he just happened to use it to help Lao Wu practice archery.
What Zhong Cai didn't expect was that even though they were both level four targets, how could they be so easily shattered by the old man in the Enlightenment Realm?
In a flash, Zhong Cai understood.
Actually, it's not too surprising. After all, the Sun-Shooting Bow is level six, and Old Wu used a lot of Xuan energy when shooting the arrow. The arrows he shot were not formed from Xuan energy, so it's not surprising that they were that sharp...
Zhong Cai's gaze fell on Wu Shaogan, who was still soaring in the air and constantly drawing his bow towards the ground.
Still very handsome, the spots on the ground are even denser.
However, it is only by constantly making it "dense" that the gaps can be filled.
Zhong Cai remained silent.
So, is Lao Wu simply going to dye the ground of the training ground a different color?
He suddenly lost focus.
He thought: No wonder when I went to Zai Zi's place last time, he said that his senior brother had gone to the Martial Arts Hall. He really was thinking about his personal property...
Zhong Cai rested her chin on her hand and continued to look at her husband, Lao Wu.
Oh well, so what if the ground looks ugly? As long as Lao Wu is handsome, that's all that matters.
Old Wu must really miss the Sun-Shooting Bow, so let him have fun playing with it!
·
Wu Shaogan had indeed not used the Sun-Shooting Bow for a long time. Although the hard bows he used before felt good, they were still far from being as good as the Sun-Shooting Bow that had been so perfect for him.
However, no matter how powerful Wu Shaogan's profound energy was, the energy consumption was still very high every time he fired an arrow when facing the level six Sun-Shooting Bow.
After holding on for about half an hour, he finally came down to the ground.
Zhong Cai immediately jumped over and hugged Wu Shaogan's waist.
Wu Shaogan, covered in sweat, looked at Zhong Cai with a hint of excitement.
Zhong Cai sincerely praised, "Old Wu is amazing!"
Wu Shaogan's smile deepened.
Zhong Cai touched Wu Shaogan's soft waist, winked at him, and teased, "Old Wu, you must be tired, all exhausted? Do you want me to help you take a bath?"
Wu Shaogan took a couple of breaths and said with a smile, "Yes."
Zhong Cai chuckled.
Then, Zhong Cai simply picked up her husband and carried him into the bath.
After taking a shower, Old Wu was almost fully recovered.
Then, what fun things can they do together?
·
In the days that followed, every morning, Wu Shaogan would try to comprehend his secret technique while simultaneously studying it using the Sun-Shooting Bow.
Zhong Cai was refining elixirs on the side, occasionally looking up to admire the heroic figure of his old man, Wu.
In the afternoon, Zhong Cai began practicing the secret technique she had just learned.
Wu Shaogan stayed by the training ground, watching his wife A Cai while studying the top-grade Cleansing Talisman. He was now confident in obtaining a level two top-grade talisman, but he needed to research level three in advance. Otherwise, with A Cai's rapid improvement, it would be bad if he couldn't supply enough talismans.
In the evening, the two would each practice their supplementary cultivation techniques for an hour, and spend the rest of the time practicing together.
First, engage in ordinary dual cultivation where the breaths mingle, then follow with a more complex dual cultivation that relaxes the body and mind.
Both of them improved their abilities in all aspects very quickly.
·
Zhong Cai doesn't spend too much time refining pills each day. If he wants to research new pills, it will take at least ten days to half a month to complete one.
Of course, his completion was different from that of most alchemists.
His completion required achieving a perfect pill-making result, with a pill-making rate of at least passing or above—that is, at least 60%.
At the same time, each batch of pills must contain top-grade pills, no matter how many, the more the better.
Since her master has returned, Zhong Cai no longer needs to be bound by time restrictions if she has any questions, except for attending regular classes. She can go whenever she wants, as she now has her master's permission.
Besides alchemy, Master Sang is also a highly skilled Spirit Transformation cultivator.
Although he devoted most of his energy to alchemy, he had a long lifespan and spent a considerable amount of time improving his cultivation level and honing his secret techniques. He possessed all the knowledge that a Spirit Transformation cultivator should have.
Zhong Cai spent a lot of time studying the secret techniques. Only when he had many questions and still didn't understand them could he raise them and bring them together to ask his master.
Master Sang had only glanced at the secret technique briefly when he understood its intricacies.
Of course, he also quickly gave Zhong Cai some pointers.
Zhong Cai has made great progress in this secret technique.
·
Sang Yunchu was very satisfied with Zhong Cai's eagerness to learn and was generous in his teaching.
At the same time, he no longer required Zhong Cai to attend classes at Meijia Mountain Range at the beginning of each month. Instead, he asked the Mei family to provide a course schedule for Zhong Cai to keep, and he would only attend classes when he needed to.
Zhong Cai also went to take the badge assessment several times. Each time she went, she would be assessed on at least two or three different badges.
It always went smoothly; I never failed.
Sang Yunchu was even more satisfied.
Of course, while Zhong Cai was already very skilled at refining level-two pills, it would obviously be better for him to try refining level-three pills after breaking through a few more minor realms. Otherwise, a mishap wouldn't just result in an explosion of the furnace, but rather the depletion of his profound energy, which would be detrimental to the cultivator.

Wu Shaogan would also frequently visit Master Jiang to inquire about the techniques for honing his secret skills.
Jiang Chongguang's teaching method was relatively brutal. Most of the time, he would suppress his own strength to the same level as Wu Shaogan, then take him to that huge pit, fight him, and give him pointers at the same time.
Even so, Jiang Chongguang's experience far surpasses that of Wu Shaogan, and his knowledge is much more extensive. Under such circumstances, he would naturally suppress Wu Shaogan very easily, and even if he showed mercy, some clashes were still inevitable.
This is a huge blow to the confidence of a top genius.
Even an ordinary genius would inevitably feel discouraged and easily become dull in such a situation.
But Wu Shaogan was different.
He was naturally adept at using battle to sustain himself; the more battles he fought, the faster he would improve, and the more inspiration he would generate.
It was for this reason that Wu Shaogan went from being unable to achieve a high position on the Hidden Dragon List to rising straight up.
A large part of the improvement in strength comes from that battle arena.
So much so that Jiang Chongguang's methods were actually very suitable for Wu Shaogan.
Despite being "beaten up" like this, Wu Shaogan continued to refine that secret technique.
Its power is increasing.
Jiang Chongguang never hesitates to praise his apprentices.
However, his praise can be quite a test of one's nerves.
Between each of their "instructional battles," Jiang Chongguang's loud voice would always echo in the cave.
Stop it! Stand up! It's time to spank you on the back!
"Yes, kick this way! You're still a bit too weak. I'll give you a spot in the Thunder Pool later, so find some time to go and soak in it!"
"This tactic won't work, retreat quickly! Let's change it, the route isn't right!"
"Yes! That's right now! It's just a pity that the power is still a bit weak."
"Speed up! Faster! Faster! Faster!"
"This won't do, faster! Faster! Faster!"
"Very good! Well done, kid!"
·
Such scenarios occur frequently.
Jiang Chongguang's junior brothers and sisters are all quite skilled, and they are very curious about their junior brother Wu Shaogan. So whenever they have time, and Wu Shaogan comes to ask for guidance, they will inevitably come over to check on the situation.
Upon seeing this, they couldn't help but chatter amongst themselves.
"Senior brother's teaching method isn't quite right..."
"That's just how our senior brother is, what can we do?"
"It seems like my nephew is adapting quite well?"
"It's hard to say whether to adapt or just endure it."
"My nephew is really unlucky; he's so young and already being tormented by his senior brother!"
"...evoked memories from long ago."
"Back then, we were all taught by our master. Our eldest brother was just a sparring partner occasionally, and it was considered a punishment for us!"
"Unlike now, my junior disciple is always facing punishment!"
"How about we talk to our senior brother? He always listens to advice..."
But when things got to this point, one of the quietest cultivators, a Spirit Transformation cultivator, suddenly spoke up.
Mu Su said, "I think there's really no need to persuade him; my nephew is adapting very well."
Everyone was taken aback and looked over again.
Their senior brothers all used similar methods of instruction, while their junior brothers were not as loud, but their answers were all very clear.
Every word received a response.
·
The corners of their mouths twitched slightly as they looked at Mu Su.
"Did all of you respond like that, my junior apprentice?"
Mu Su said, "That's exactly right."
He simply repeated all the answers he had heard from his nephew Wu Shaogan.
"My nephew said—"
·
"Yes, Master."
"Thank you, Master. Do you have any extra spots? I would like to go with A-Cai."
"yes."
"yes."
"yes."
"yes."
"Thank you, Master."
·
Everyone understood, and their lips twitched even more violently.
Really...
No wonder the senior brother insisted on taking on his junior disciple.
Perhaps only the junior disciple is truly suitable to be taught by the senior disciple.
·
Then, the group dispersed.
The master and apprentice will get used to it.
·
Sang Yunchu's residence.
Panting, Zhong Cai swung the meteor hammer around, infusing it with fire-attribute Xuan power, filling each hammerhead with raging flames. As he pulled the chains and moved in all directions, he sometimes resembled a fire dragon, and at other times, he seemed to be surrounded by countless meteors about to explode, bringing a strong sense of danger.
He could feel that his combat power was rapidly increasing as he practiced this secret technique.
He benefited greatly from every guidance his master gave him.
By now, Zhong Cai is very familiar with this secret technique.
With his abilities, that's all he can master for now.
·
Zhong Cai wiped his sweat and looked at his master, who was leisurely drinking tea to the side.
Sang Yunchu clapped her hands gently: "Cai'er, you're doing very well now."
Zhong Cai breathed a sigh of relief: "Good, that's good."
Sang Yunchu instructed, "You must practice diligently every day." He paused for a moment, then added, "To make this secret technique even stronger, it's best to fuse it with the corresponding starfire."
Zhong Cai was taken aback: "Master, what is spark?"
Sang Yunchu raised his hand slightly and explained, "You should know that, according to your statement, in order to achieve a balance and versatility among the five secret techniques, and to complement your Five Elements and Five Stars auxiliary cultivation method, each secret technique must be at a similar level."
"I've examined it. Your fire technique has a very high ceiling, and it can be continuously improved as your strength increases. So since you've chosen this one, your other techniques need to have similar qualities; otherwise, your combat style will have problems."
Sang Yunchu then began to introduce Xinghuo.
"Sparks only appear when a large number of meteorites fall. They vary in quality, but they all have the same stellar attribute. Once integrated into your secret technique, they will be more compatible with your auxiliary cultivation method and exert greater power."
"But in that case, your other four secret techniques will not only be a matter of quality, but will also need to be infused with a rare and precious material that possesses the power of stars, and each of them must be of the corresponding five elements."
"The difficulty of your cultivation will be extremely high."
As Sang Yunchu spoke, he took out a slightly worn booklet and pushed it to Zhong Cai, gesturing for him to flip through it.
"I searched through my most treasured books and finally found a secret technique with a metal element. It's of similar quality, and where sparks appear, star cores are also very likely to appear, which is a perfect match for this secret technique."
"At the same time, Star Soil, Star Dew, and Star Wood can also be found in similar environments."
"However, it is very rare to find those with similar qualities, and even better if they come from the same star."
"There are many cultivators who covet these treasures, and you will need to compete with them."
"As for the remaining three secret techniques, although I will help you look for them, I cannot guarantee that you will be able to obtain them quickly if you are lucky, but if you are unlucky... it may take a long time. You will have to think of a way yourself."
·
Zhong Cai listened, secretly clicking her tongue in amazement.
This really does sound like a lot of luck.
In particular, his old man had already asked Master Jiang, and although there were quite a few books there, none of them corresponded to the given texts.
Zhong Cai sighed silently.
·
Sang Yunchu waited for Zhong Cai to hesitate for a moment before asking, "Have you made a decision?"
Zhong Cai honestly said, "I will definitely choose the more powerful one. It may be troublesome, but I can always ask Lao Wu to go with me to find it."
Sang Yunchu chuckled softly.
Zhong Cai, a quick-witted young man, suddenly asked, "Master, do you know of a place where we can gather all five kinds of rare and precious materials?"
Sang Yunchu smiled and said, "Indeed."
Zhong Cai immediately pressed, "Where?"
Sang Yunchu said, "The people around the governor have divined the secrets of heaven. In a few months, countless meteorites will fall in a mountain range in the southeast of this state, affecting a very wide area."
"As per the governor's orders, to prevent the impact from spreading, all people in the villages, towns, and counties near the mountains must evacuate as soon as possible. Once the meteorite has fallen and the environment has stabilized, we can then consider what to do next."
Sang Yunchu said with a smile, "Whenever such a large-scale celestial phenomenon occurs, there will be a violent reaction. After it stabilizes, that place will become a very dangerous outer secret realm."
·
The so-called outer secret realm is one that is completely open to everyone with no obstructions.
There are no restrictions on the number of participants.
This is how this meteorite was formed.
However, the power of meteorite collisions and explosions is terrifying, and even if they do occur, it takes a considerable amount of time for them to become completely stable.
Only then will cultivators gradually go there to explore.
Furthermore, they searched for precious treasures.
·
Zhong Cai's eyes brightened: "Does Master mean that I can go and find it by then?"
Sang Yunchu nodded slightly: "The treasures that can be found there are at most up to the Palace Building Realm. If the two of you go there, as long as you keep your defensive items with you, you will hardly be in any danger."
Zhong Cai's mood brightened, and she asked, "Master, could you be more specific about the time?"
Sang Yunchu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's set off in six months. There's still time."
Zhong Cai remembered it well.
Six months later, then so be it, six months later.
Zhong Cai said with a grin, "When we left, Lao Wu and I rode in the flying boat that Master gave us."
Sang Yunchu also smiled and said, "That would be great."
Zhong Cai then said mysteriously, "Master Jiang gave Old Wu a multi-storied ship. Master, would you like to ride it and have some fun?"
Sang Yunchu was taken aback, then chuckled and said, "That won't be necessary."
Zhong Cai felt a little regretful.
After all, he had already discovered that his master really liked fancy things.
Despite Master Jiang's rough appearance, the ship he built for Old Wu was indeed very beautiful.
Sang Yunchu laughed again and said, "I can go and ask your Master Jiang directly."
Zhong Cai's eyes widened.
Sang Yunchu gently patted his head and said, "You've rested enough, let's continue practicing for a while."
Zhong Cai naturally did as instructed.
In cultivation, if you want to improve your strength, you can't be lazy.
Even someone with martial arts talent like Lao Wu would never slack off.
Although he claims to primarily focus on alchemy, he still needs to work hard...
·
Huxingcheng, an inconspicuous street.
A group of young men and women arrived here, laughing and joking, and habitually headed towards the familiar shop.
However, to their great surprise, the shop, which was open day and night, was actually tightly shut!
The group quickly moved closer, knocking on the door and peering through the crack.
However, no matter how you look at it, it clearly reveals one fact.
This shop is really closed.
Because the metal shelves that used to hold many unopened resources have also disappeared.
The entire shop was empty.
If it was just about restocking or reopening, how could it have turned out like this?
One of the handsome young men quickly gave a few instructions to the person next to him.
Soon, servants came running off.
At this moment, several other men and women also walked over.
A beautiful young woman in red walked over and asked, "Wei Jian, did you send someone to investigate?"
The handsome man said, "I'll be back soon."
The beautiful young woman looked somewhat anxious, as if she was urging him on.
Another rather handsome young man said softly, "Don't be impatient, you'll find out soon enough."
The handsome man, Wei Jian, said, "Uncle, don't worry, we understand."
The beautiful young woman could only nod.
Before long, the servant indeed rushed back.
He quickly reported, "The shop has been put up with the middleman, supposedly last night. The blind box shop owner left a message there, saying the shop will be moving to another location."
They had all expected this, but when the news was confirmed, they all looked disappointed.
·
These three men and women all have an inextricable connection with blind box shops.
The beautiful young woman was named Li Xiaowei. She was the first customer of the blind box shop and earned a lot of good things from it. From then on, she became a regular customer and would come to browse and watch the excitement whenever she had nothing to do.
She was quite lucky and made a profit overall. She used the resources from the blind box shop as much as possible on herself, and her progress in strength was much faster than that of people of similar age.
When the blind box shop first opened, Li Xiaowei was only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Attraction Realm. Now, she has reached the limit of the sixth level of the Heavenly Attraction Realm and has even opened a pill that can help her break through to the seventh level.
It's easy to imagine that in just a few months, Li Xiaowei will be able to successfully reach the seventh level of the Heavenly Guidance Realm!
That potentially fatal hurdle, thanks to the blind box shop, is something Li Xiaowei is certain to overcome easily.
·
Wei Jian's marriage was facilitated by the blind box shop.
He was originally very fond of Li Xiaowei, but he always made mistakes, which caused Li Xiaowei to not only misunderstand him, but also gradually develop a dislike for him, and they almost stopped seeing each other for the rest of their lives.
Later, it was because of this shop that Li Xiaowei gradually changed her opinion of him.
Wei Jian often ran into Li Xiaowei at the blind box shop, and later they even started coming together, and their relationship gradually improved.
Later, when Wei Jian saw that the time was right, he expressed his feelings.
Although Li Xiaowei was a bit slow on the uptake, she wasn't stupid. Over time, she naturally realized that Wei Jian treated her very well and that she wasn't completely indifferent to him. When Wei Jian confessed his feelings, she didn't think too much before agreeing to be with him.
Wei Jian went back and mentioned the matter to his family, and the two families thus confirmed the marriage alliance.
Immediately, Wei Jian began looking for good items to use as betrothal gifts. He frequently visited blind box shops, and when he was lucky enough to open some good items, he would give them directly to Li Xiaowei or include them in the betrothal gifts.
Li Xiaowei naturally agreed with this sentiment, and now that she has married into the Wei family, the couple is very loving.
Therefore, the two were able to get married almost entirely because of this blind box shop.
Especially Wei Jian, if it weren't for the blind box shop, he would have definitely lost his sweetheart!
Therefore, Wei Jian was particularly grateful to the blind box shop. He would buy blind boxes every day, but he would buy them several times a month. The couple would go in and out together, which fostered a deep bond between them.
·
The remaining handsome young man also found a new lease on life thanks to the blind box shop.
His name is Zhao Xue, and he is Zhao Lan's beloved son.
Back then, Zhao Xue was crippled and almost died of despair. It was Zhao Lan who spared no expense to open blind boxes in this shop. The expenses were enormous, but hard work pays off, and she finally achieved her wish.
Zhao Xue was able to regain his qualifications, although they were not high, but the road ahead was no longer bleak.
Furthermore, because his mother contributed to his master's breakthrough in strength, the Zhao family benefited greatly. Zhao Xue was even officially recognized by that senior and received many gifts from him.
Therefore, Zhao Xue's health has improved significantly.
He has already resumed his cultivation, and his future prospects are bright. He will also be able to reunite with his mother for a longer period of time...
As Zhao Xue recovered both physically and mentally, she gradually became a regular customer of the blind box shop.
Especially during his recovery period, the blind box shop was like a pillar for him; he could only feel at ease when he saw the shop.
Later, Zhao Xue also opened some good items in the blind box shop, which were suitable for his mother.
His mother had devoted herself to him, but Zhao Xue was not very capable. He could only repay his mother in small way by relying on this bit of luck.
·
The three of them would occasionally bump into each other, and this time was no exception.
They had a good relationship, especially since Wei Jian was the one who came up with the idea of opening blind boxes, making Zhao Lan and her son even closer to him.
They got along quite well when they were together.
But to their utter surprise, the shop they had visited just yesterday was completely empty today!
The blind box shops that had become a habit for them... are about to disappear completely from their lives.
·
Li Xiaowei looked wistful and said softly, "I thought I could keep coming here."
Wei Jian half-embraced his beloved wife and sighed as well, saying, "If you ever want to go out and relax again, wherever you want to go, I'll go with you."
Zhao Xue didn't speak, but just stared quietly at the door of the blind box shop... After a long while, she finally felt a little relieved.
Regardless, the shop has indeed closed.
It's just unknown whether they've truly disappeared or will be moved to another city.
Wei Jian added, "We'll keep an eye out for related news. If this shop opens in another place in the future, Xiao Wei, if you want to go and take a look, I'll go with you."
Li Xiaowei felt much better and nodded.
After that, the group lost interest in shopping and said their goodbyes, each returning home.
·
Many people, like Li Xiaowei, have had their lives changed by blind box shops, and a considerable number of them have made saving money to spend at these shops a habit.
The closure of the blind box shop is a significant event for them, and they often feel a sense of emptiness.
However, many other cultivators, upon learning of this, began searching for the reason.
However, nothing was gained.
No one knows why the shop suddenly closed down, and recently no one has come to inquire about the blind box shop.
Even the day before, the shop was doing business as usual.
It was really sudden.
No matter how many guesses there were, they could not find any trace of the shop owner.
This blind box shop opened quietly and disappeared just as quietly.
·
Even further away.
Fire Cloud City.
This is a level four city with a very large population and very wide streets.
The buildings in each place are very distinctive, and are generally characterized by their opulence and grandeur.
There are also a lot of people doing business.
Every street is lined with countless shops, large and small.
How well a business performs varies from person to person.
But perhaps because this city is very wealthy and has a high level of spending power, these shops, once opened, can at least make a living.
·
Outside the city of Huoxiao lies a vast, dense forest.
Countless fire-crowned maple trees of varying ages grow there.
It was so vast that it was impossible to count them all.
At first glance, it looks as if a raging fire is burning in the branches, spreading in patches and almost turning the surrounding area into a fiery red color!
The tree branches were enveloped in countless "flames," as if they were leaping among the branches, creating a lively and dynamic beauty.
·
Firewood is a type of firewood, containing very rich fire-attribute energy. It also possesses wood attributes. Due to their interaction, there is a certain chance of mutation, and even evolution after mutation.
Once it mutates, there is a 30% chance that it can give birth to a wood-fire combination within the fire and wood elements.
The levels of wood and fire follow the order of fire and wood.
If the firewood continues to mutate and evolve, its own level will not change, but the quality of the wood and fire it nurtures will be improved—the exact amount of improvement can only be known by splitting the firewood, and is therefore uncertain.
After splitting it open, it will either be hollow or contain wood of at least a higher grade.
·
Firefly Maple was originally a second-grade precious medicinal herb, which can be planted on a large scale without affecting other plants.
Once it reaches fifty years, it will stop growing.
If they are not harvested within a year, most of them will die. Only a small number will survive and mutate. Among these, a very small number will survive the cycle of evolution and improve the quality of the fire produced.
Besides its potential to generate fire and wood, Fire Cloud Maple Wood also has many other uses.
Those crimson maple leaves, which resemble flames, are auxiliary ingredients in many elixirs that require fire-attribute medicinal herbs.
The thick and sturdy tree trunk is a rather good material for fire-attribute crafting.
The gnarled and powerful roots of the tree, from which the sap can be extracted, are also a very useful medicinal material with many applications.
Regardless of the grade restrictions, the price of directly purchasing a mature Fire Cloud Maple tree, depending on the quality of the tree, ranges from approximately one hundred to three hundred gold.
·
The total value of just a few dozen, a few hundred, or even a few thousand plants is not much.
But what if it's millions or tens of millions, or even more?
That's an astronomical figure!
Moreover, there is a new crop every fifty years. The seeds often fall to the ground, and seeds are hidden all around the countless maple trees. Before long, countless seedlings will sprout and continue to grow.
The Fire Cloud Maple itself is not the most valuable part; once it mutates, its value increases by hundreds or thousands of times.
The fire produced from this type of maple wood is considered excellent among all types of firewood.
Therefore, each strand of second-grade wood fire is worth several thousand gold pieces.
If it's still a mutation or evolution...
That would be even more incredible.
Hundreds of thousands of gold coins are nothing to worry about.
Even better luck?
The lowest grade four Wood and Fire elements require at least several thousand Mystic Pearls!
·
The mutation rate of Fire Cloud Maple is very low, but the total number is just too large!
Therefore, a considerable amount of wood of various grades can actually be produced every year.
Furthermore, there are also sealed, mutated, evolved maple trees for sale.
In this case, the price of a whole maple tree is much cheaper than selling the wood directly.
However, whether or not there is wood or fire inside remains only a 30% probability, and it will not increase.
It carries a bit of a "gambling" element.
·
The reason why Fire Cloud City is so wealthy is because the entire maple forest has been contracted out to the city's residents.
All the money generated from the sale of Fire Cloud Maple Wood will be collected by the Flame Gate in the city, and then distributed to the citizens under the supervision of the city lord.
Of course, the majority of these are still within families and powerful factions that possess strong members.
After all, without these powerful individuals, other covetous individuals would inevitably be attracted, and this enormous wealth would be impossible to protect.
Even so, the city dwellers still had plenty of resources and spare money.
·
That day was no different from any other, with many people coming and going at the city gate.
Many of them were originally from the surrounding area or the city, but there were also many faces that clearly showed curiosity – they must have come to visit or wanted to see the beautiful scenery of the vast maple forest.
It was virtually impossible to distinguish which cultivators entering or leaving the city were particularly different from the others.
Because of the large flow of people, if something big or small happens in some corner of the city, no one will pay special attention.
·
A stall was quietly set up on a corner of a street.
To start a business here, you have to start with promotion.
A masked puppet in brown sat behind the stall, with a large box on the stall cloth.
Inside the box was a formation plate that isolated the soul's thoughts, as well as many small boxes.
They were piled up in layers.
Meanwhile, the stall banner also read: Blind Box Stall.
Several more lines of smaller print explained how the blind boxes were sold, their prices, and so on.
However, it was only briefly mentioned what resources might appear in the blind boxes, such as beast meat, pills, rare and precious materials, and gold and silver pearls.
They also explained the precautions: do not touch them with your hands; you can only look at them with your eyes and then choose one for the stall owner to take out.
·
The people in Fire Cloud City are rich and have plenty of free time, so they are always looking for something new.
Although the stall was not very conspicuous, people still quickly gathered around and casually glanced at the information.
Then, someone asked curiously, "Shall I buy a blind box to try?"
As he spoke, he first took out a piece of gold and handed it to the puppet.
The puppet looked at the man, took the gold, and said in a dry voice, "The customer can choose any blind box."
·
The person who came to buy the blind boxes was a middle-aged cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Guidance Realm. Hearing what the man in brown said, his gaze fell on the boxes, and he looked around.
All the blind boxes are only the size of a palm and look no different.
After looking around for a while, the middle-aged cultivator chose one from the right corner.
The brown-clad puppet took out the blind box and handed it to the middle-aged cultivator.
The middle-aged cultivator took it, weighed it in his hand, and showed a disappointed expression: "It's very light, there's probably nothing inside."
The brown-clad puppet said in his usual dry tone, "Please open the blind box, guest."
The middle-aged cultivator glanced at the brown-clad puppet and then opened the blind box himself.
Contrary to his expectations, the blind box contained a note.
The note read: Number Thirty-Five.
The middle-aged cultivator was taken aback.
The brown-clad puppet took out a mustard seed bag and said, "The guest can examine it."
The middle-aged cultivator focused his mind inside and discovered that there were many sealed metal shelves, divided into many drawers for storing items.
One of the drawers had "Thirty-Five" written on it.
In an instant, the middle-aged cultivator understood and immediately laughed, "Then let me see what I just got!"
The brown-clad puppet took out the metal frame and, under the gaze of the middle-aged cultivator, opened drawer number thirty-five.
At that moment, a sharp aura burst forth from it.
The brown-clad puppet took out a short knife about the length of an arm.
The blade is smooth and bright, and the quality is quite good.
It's a top-grade, first-class Xuan Blade!
Judging by its quality, its value should be over three hundred taels of silver, which is equivalent to over three gold coins.
The middle-aged cultivator chuckled: "I'm actually quite lucky, I made a profit!"
The brown-clad puppet did not answer.
However, the middle-aged cultivator also realized that this was not a living person at all, and it was normal that it had no intelligence.
He didn't care about that and happily put away the Xuan Blade.
Since he was lucky, the middle-aged cultivator became interested and simply took out a few more gold coins to buy five blind boxes, which he quickly picked out.
Then, he rubbed his hands together and opened the blind boxes one by one.
The first blind box contained three silver ones; I lost money.
The second one had seven silver coins, which was also a loss;
The third item is a tube of essence blood from a Tier 2, early-stage savage beast. Because the quantity is small, it's worth about five or six gold coins, which is very profitable!
The fourth item was a low-grade Qi-replenishing pill, worth one hundred silver coins; we broke even.
The fifth item was a piece of savage beast meat from the lower stages of the first tier. Even if it filled the entire box, it would only weigh two or three pounds, worth about ten or twenty silver coins. It was a loss.
The middle-aged cultivator was momentarily frustrated and then excited. After opening all five in a row, he got carried away!
Since he was hooked, he continued opening blind boxes.
Buy five more...
Buy six more...
Buy ten more!
The brown-clad puppet collected the empty blind boxes and kept adding more to the box.
Since the puppet has no soul and cannot distinguish what is inside so many blind boxes, it shouldn't be considered cheating.
The middle-aged cultivator didn't mind; instead, he opened the boxes one after another.
There are gains and losses in driving around.
Before he knew it, he had driven dozens of them before he finally realized what was happening.
The middle-aged cultivator couldn't help but exhale: "This is really interesting!"
At this moment, reflecting on the resources he had offered, he realized that he was still losing money overall.
However, there are also a few rare and valuable items among them, so it's still a good deal when you consider the cost.
The middle-aged cultivator looked at the other blind boxes, feeling a little tempted.
However, he managed to restrain himself in the end.
Then, the middle-aged cultivator turned to leave, but when he looked around, he found that many more people had come over, all of whom had been watching him open the box.
The middle-aged cultivator found it amusing; he himself had become the source of amusement!
He didn't say much, he just squeezed out of the crowd.
When the middle-aged cultivator glanced back casually, he saw another person standing in front of the stall, squatting down to pick out blind boxes.
The middle-aged cultivator paused for a moment, then simply stood in the crowd as well.
Thus, he went from being the one being watched to becoming one of the onlookers.
The middle-aged cultivator watched helplessly as the chubby boy bought twenty boxes in a row. A dozen or so of them yielded only small amounts of silver, while the rest contained mostly low-grade resources, almost none of which were worth a single gold coin.
The only relatively good one is a top-grade herbal pill.
The market price is actually around three gold coins, so it's just a small profit, but the key is that it's "top quality".
Fire Cloud City has actually nurtured quite a few alchemists, but high-level alchemists don't know how to refine first-grade pills, and among first-grade alchemists, very few can refine high-grade ones, which are practically priceless.
The chubby boy had almost cried from frustration at his bad luck until he finally opened this top-grade pill, at which point he smiled with relief. However, after opening these twenty pills, he still retreated with lingering fear, not daring to open any more.
Another cultivator immediately filled the position.
He also started buying boxes and opening them.
·
Before we knew it, it was getting dark.
Including the middle-aged cultivator and the chubby guy, almost everyone who bought blind boxes ended up "staying here to see what others are doing," and they've been watching ever since, practically forgetting the passage of time.
Only then did everyone realize that this small stall had such a great appeal!
But thinking about it, it's not surprising. Each blind box only costs one gold, and you can occasionally get some secondary resources. There are losses, gains, and unknowns, which is quite novel and interesting.
Moreover, some cultivators have used this as a substitute.
—There are many shops in the city that sell "mutated and evolved Fire Sky Maple Wood". Many powerful people enter these shops, pick out and buy the wood, and then open them one by one to search for high-quality firewood.
These cultivators at the Heavenly Guidance Realm don't have enough Mystic Pearls to gamble their luck over there, but they can gamble here.
Even some cultivators with the strength to break through to the Palace stage came to try.
Some of them thought that if they were lucky enough to open blind boxes, they might be able to try using their savings to open a "Willow Fire" (a type of fire-making item) at those shops...
·
And just like that, in just one day, the blind box stall became a hit on this street!
This brown-clad puppet, however, seemed tireless, never stopping its work day or night.
The cultivators also came to buy blind boxes at different times, and it seemed as if the blind boxes in the puppet's bag were endless.
·
Just as the cultivators in this neighborhood became familiar with the stall, the brown-clad puppet suddenly found a small shop on an adjacent street and bought it.
The shop isn't large, but once you go inside, you'll find that it actually contains an extremely high-grade isolation array!
The numbered metal shelves were no longer stored in mustard bags, but were placed against the wall of the shop.
At this point, the blind boxes sold by the puppets were no longer just one gold each, but several higher-end versions were added.
The most expensive one is actually worth one hundred mid-grade Xuan Stones!
It is said that those are super-grade blind boxes, and the total number is very limited.
The second-best blind box also costs 100 low-grade Xuan Stones each, which isn't a large quantity.
·
People who had previously bought blind boxes at the stall walked into this newly opened blind box shop only to find that the stall was just a stall.
It has been transformed into a shop, and now even more people can't afford it.
For a time, some people did try buying intermediate blind boxes, but they would stop after buying only a few each time—no matter how rich the citizens of Fire Cloud City were, those at lower cultivation levels wouldn't dare to spend 10,000 gold coins at a time...
But the shop did gain some fame, and more and more customers came and went every day.
The number of people buying blind boxes has also increased.
Gradually, the number of intermediate blind boxes sold increased...
Some male and female cultivators with substantial family wealth would occasionally open a few high-end blind boxes for fun.
Some time later, a spoiled young master from a certain family, unable to resist the encouragement of his companions, gritted his teeth and bought ten high-end blind boxes in a row!
He regretted it the moment he bought it; this one move wiped out half of his fortune!
The total cost reached one thousand Xuanzhu!
However, this young master was very concerned about his reputation. Even though he was regretting it terribly, he still gritted his teeth and opened the blind boxes one by one.
Several times in a row, the items I opened were all Xuanzhu or resources that were far less expensive than the units in the blind boxes. Although some of the resources were of decent quality, it was still painful to even think about when I did the math.
However, after suffering huge losses for eight consecutive years, things finally took a turn for the better.
This纨绔公子 (playboy) opened a level 4 mid-grade pill, the Breaking Calamity Pill, in the ninth blind box!
At that moment, his cronies who had been encouraging him all looked shocked.
·
The Breakthrough Pill is a type of pill that can help peak cultivators in the Suspended Illumination Realm break through bottlenecks and successfully find the "point" to fuse with their companion treasure.
There are very few alchemists in Fire Cloud City who can refine such pills, and most of them are of low grade.
The playboy has an older brother who is a talented and hardworking young master of his family, and he himself has been at the peak of the Suspended Illumination stage for several years.
Because of the significant age difference between the young master of that family and the纨绔公子 (a spoiled, dissolute young man), the young master doted on him and showered him with resources, thus forcibly raising his strength to the Enlightenment Realm.
The spoiled young master is very grateful to his older brother, but he's just not capable enough. Now he's actually gotten something good from opening a blind box!
This is absolutely wonderful news!
So the playboy told his servant to hurry back and report the news, while he waited in the shop.
Not long after, the young master of the family arrived and successfully took away the breakthrough pills and his younger brother who had made great contributions.
Before leaving, the playboy casually opened the last blind box, and as usual, he didn't get anything good, but he didn't mind at all.
Although the money came from his own brother, his savings were gradually given to him by his own brother, he still managed to provide his brother with tremendous help through his own efforts!
The kid was overjoyed!
With this achievement, his older brother successfully integrated into the family, wouldn't he then dote on his younger brother even more?
He'll come back again!
This blind box shop is truly his lucky charm!
·
Even a low-grade Breakthrough Pill is worth at least two thousand Xuan Pearls! That's more than enough to make up the difference, and it's practically a huge profit!
Besides, this is only of medium quality!
Moreover, this would directly add a Fusion Realm expert to that纨绔 (spoiled brat) family.
The纨绔公子 (playboy) was originally just a member of a second-rate family. Once his brother succeeds, the young master's position will be unshakable.
The heir to Fire Cloud City is different from those of other cities.
Men and women of this status can obtain a portion of the power to manage the Fire Cloud Maple Wood designated by the family.
In other words, the power to mobilize a large amount of resources.
The undercurrents within are self-evident, and the resulting increase in their strength is also self-evident.
·
For a time, many cultivators were filled with envy.
Although other cultivators had offered level-four resources before, the Breakthrough Pill was still far too coveted!
Immediately afterwards, more cultivators began to eagerly try.
More and more customers are opening high-end blind boxes.
Although no one has obtained the Breaking Calamity Pill anymore, someone has obtained a level-four rare medicine that can alleviate the pain during the fusion of divine souls.
The effects of rare medicines are certainly not as good as those of elixirs, but they are still indispensable rare medicines for those at the peak of the Suspended Illumination stage.
With the wealth of that young master of the family, acquiring such a rare herb would be easy, but he never expected to unexpectedly obtain a pill—he originally planned to slowly find the fusion "point" himself, which would take more time.
However, even cultivators from certain families and powerful groups often struggle to find such rare medicines.
After all, even the wealthiest families have resources allocated to them.
The cultivator who obtained the fourth-level divine soul medicine this time was someone who was still lacking resources and had impulsively come in to open the box.
As a result, the goods were shipped out as soon as they were opened.
In addition, there are also items that yield fourth-tier cultivation techniques, fourth-tier secret skills, fourth-tier savage beast meat, and fourth-tier beast cores...
There are quite a few good things here!
Blind box shops have established themselves in Fire City at an extraordinary speed.
What the customers coming and going don't know is that there's a teleportation array in a small room inside the blind box shop, which sends in new blind boxes every so often.
Empty blind boxes that have already been opened are not allowed to accumulate; instead, they are sent back.
If a stockout occurs, a message can be sent to another distant location, and all the gold, silver, and mystic pearls earned in the shop will be sent there in the same way...
Blind box shops will never run out of stock.
·
Six months have passed.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan lived a peaceful life.
The two of them primarily focused on self-cultivation, supplemented by consulting their two masters and attending classes as secondary means.
Wu Shaogan drew many top-grade purification talismans, all of which were placed in Zhong Cai's hands for him to use.
Zhong Cai spends three hours every day refining pills.
Although he didn't have a lot of time, he had a good aptitude for alchemy and worked hard enough.
Therefore, he now has a total of twenty-one stars on his badge!
He surpassed the task that his master, Sang Yunchu, had initially assigned him—this was indeed no challenge for him.
During this period, Zhong Cai harvested a considerable amount of pills of various qualities, and the amount of pill essence was also substantial.
A whopping 350,000!
When the final statistics were compiled, Zhong Cai almost gasped in shock.
·
At the same time, both of them improved their cultivation levels.
Wu Shaogan has successfully broken through to the fourth level of the Enlightenment Realm.
The reason it was so fast was naturally because there were enough pills.
Although Zhong Cai is not yet able to refine level three pills, he has plenty of money!
If Wu Shaogan runs out of pills, the two of them will go and buy more in advance.
If the purchase authority is insufficient, Zhong Cai can also seek help from his master—Sang Yunchu stopped refining level-three pills a long time ago, but with so many alchemists in the Mei Family Mountain Range, surely they can spare enough for Wu Shaogan's cultivation needs?
Of course, the couple also gave the money they were entitled to.
·
When one reaches the fourth level of the Enlightenment Realm, the cultivator needs to absorb the Heavenly Yang Qi from the accompanying treasure, while also continuously consuming precious medicines or pills that replenish the Heavenly Yang Qi.
If you accumulate enough Yang energy during this stage, it will greatly help your subsequent cultivation.
Moreover, the degree to which the Heavenly Yang Qi accumulates also determines the upper limit of the Earthly Yin Qi absorption in the next realm—after all, these two Yin and Yang energies must be balanced in the human body.
Therefore, this is destined to be a slow and painstaking process.
Many geniuses at Canglong Academy spend a lot of time at this level, and Wu Shaogan is no exception.
Just like Wu Shaogan spent a lot of time and resources accumulating foundation when he was at the peak of the Palace Realm, it was all for the purpose of improving his strength in the future.
·
Zhong Cai's cultivation level has already broken through to the ninth level of the Palace Opening Realm!
Although it has only been half a year, for an outstanding alchemist like Zhong Cai, this breakthrough speed is not exaggerated.
Zhong Cai had been taking top-grade Bi Gong Dan (a type of pill).
The entire goal of the Palace Opening Realm is to continuously open up new Dao Palaces!
The abortion pill can be taken continuously, meaning that as soon as Zhong Cai feels the effects of the medicine wear off and the abortion process slows down, he can take it again immediately!
What sets Zhong Cai apart from other cultivators is that the pills he takes are free of impurities.
Impurities can affect the speed of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, and can also cause drug resistance. This is why many wealthy cultivators accumulate impurities from consuming too many pills and dare not act rashly.
Therefore, most other cultivators not only lack the number of pills they need and cannot consume them continuously, but they also have to switch to different pills when they take too many, or search for pills that can cleanse impurities...
Zhong Cai doesn't have these troubles.
In addition, besides his own cultivation, he also had a partner for dual cultivation every night!
Many cultivators have to rely on themselves, and even if they have a partner, they dare not fully trust them.
But Zhong Cai didn't have this concern!
Wu Shaogan, who had reached the Enlightenment Realm, was like an accelerator for him. During dual cultivation, he boosted Wu Shaogan's cultivation and caused his realm to rise rapidly.
It seemed as if explosions were continuously emanating from within the Dao Palace!
Zhong Cai was delighted with each breakthrough.
As Zhong Cai's strength increased, he naturally had more profound energy, which he could invest into his secret techniques, making the techniques increasingly powerful.
After that, Zhong Cai also had to start accumulating Xuan power.
The edge of his Dao Palace was filled with white mist, all of which were manifestations of profound energy.
The denser the white mist, the deeper its foundation.
Zhong Cai had "seen" his old master Wu's Dao Palace, where the white mist had almost solidified into a physical form!
They were packed tightly together, as if no more strand could be squeezed in.
That's how terrifying the accumulation is!
It is precisely because of this that Wu Shaogan has the confidence to frequently engage in a series of rotating matches and still maintain his winning percentage.
Zhong Cai thought to herself, "I can't be worse than Lao Wu."
Therefore, he is currently refining the most Taihuang Pills.
The Taihuang Pill is specifically designed to replenish Xuan energy at this level, so Zhong Cai naturally wants as much as possible to improve cultivation efficiency.
He's basically just taking pills. He was almost numb from taking the Palace-Opening Pill before, but now that he's taken a different kind, he's gotten used to it...
·
Both of them were very satisfied with their progress in strength.
Their masters were also very satisfied with their disciples.
·
Ancient city, inner city, altar hall.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan leaned against each other, looking rather lazy.
The two of them still bear many traces of each other.
After rubbing against each other affectionately for a while, their gazes fell on the air.
The sunset glow there was already incredibly dazzling, floating in patches and clusters, so beautiful it seemed as if the colorful clouds had truly been welcomed into the home.
It's beautiful to the extreme.
·
Zhong Cai was amazed every time she saw it.
Wu Shaogan was massaging Zhong Cai's wrist with a gentle smile on his face.
Zhong Cai let him knead her, saying, "We're leaving in a couple of days, so why don't we draw a card one more time now?"
Wu Shaogan agreed, saying, "More than 350,000 is indeed enough to draw."
Zhong Cai counted on her fingers and said, "I have already sacrificed a little over 350,000 pill essences. This time, I might as well sacrifice all 350,000, and I will have accumulated a full 700,000."
Wu Shaogan always remembered Zhong Cai's matter clearly. After hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, if you want to enter the next level, you should invest one million Dan Yun."
Zhong Cai laughed: "That's right! Once this sacrifice is completed, I'll be less than 300,000 short."
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly: "At that time, I will inform those special Dao soldiers to search for other necessary refining materials."
Zhong Cai nodded: "After we achieve our goal this time, I will continue refining pills when we come back. While I am accumulating pill essence, you should tell them about this first."
Wu Shaogan nodded: "In the meantime, let them gather the resources."
Zhong Cai thought for a moment and said, "We'll also send Qingkong to look around and maybe buy some."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly in agreement.
The two of them reached an agreement.
Then they began their sacrifice for the day.
Zhong Cai murmured, "I want to draw a few henchmen for us. Qingkong is really useful. It would be great to get an even better one."
Wu Shaogan played with Zhong Cai's hand, and together they made a "double clasp" gesture, laughing, "I hope A-Cai's wish comes true!"
Zhong Cai laughed: "I hope so too!"
·
Following Zhong Cai's instructions, three rounds of ten consecutive Purple Flame Pool attacks were launched.
In an instant, all 300,000 Dan Yun were spent!
Purple flames continuously spewed out purple spores, which flew into the sky in unison.
Thirty of them, densely packed, floated in three rows.
Zhong Cai looked up and couldn't help but exclaim, "Old Wu, how magnificent!"
Wu Shaogan chuckled and echoed, "Indeed magnificent."
·
Actually, this wasn't the first time the two had opened dozens of letters at the same time, but what level were the letters in the past, and what level are they now?
These floating objects are not thirty seals, but three hundred thousand Dan Yun!
Three hundred thousand Dan Yun (a unit of energy) represents at least ten thousand top-grade level two pills!
Imagine if these 10,000 top-quality items were lined up in the air, that would be a truly spectacular sight!
·
Zhong Cai grabbed Wu Shaogan's hand and said, "Let's drive it together."
Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "Okay."
The two quickly channeled their profound energy into their bodies.
Those thirty envelopes began to tremble.
·
The first things to appear are, of course, the common resources that have nothing to do with gold, and the lowest-level resources.
The fifteen envelopes turned into smoke and drifted away.
There were eleven mid-grade mystic stones suspended in the air.
Of the remaining four level-three resources, three were very ordinary resources, but the last one was actually their "old friend"!
Zhong Cai almost blurted out: "Soul, Essence, Spirit, Heart!"
The quality of a level three Soul Essence Spiritual Heart is not high.
However, this thing could restore the abilities of those who had been crippled, and for a long time, Zhong Cai kept it on his lips and in his heart.
·
Subconsciously, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan couldn't help but exchange glances.
Then, a broad smile appeared in their eyes.
Although the two had already slept together back then, in their hearts they were still just best friends, and they never imagined that one day their relationship would break through to the point where they would become true Daoist partners.
Looking back now, it all seems so vivid in my mind.
Zhong Cai couldn't help but lean against Wu Shaogan.
He remembered that Old Wu was always in a lot of pain back then.
Wu Shaogan smoothed Zhong Cai's hair, remembering how much effort Cai had put in to ease his pain during that time...
·
Zhong Cai let out a breath and said with a smile, "I'll just put it in a blind box later."
Wu Shao chuckled and nodded: "Good idea, A-Cai."
·
Then, another envelope began to tremble and flashed with a golden light.
All of these extracted resources will be level four resources.
Zhong Cai counted: "There are only three items."
Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "A-Cai is very lucky."
Zhong Cai corrected him, saying, "It's because we're both very lucky."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly, "Yes, it's ours."
·
Strangely enough, all the Level 4 resources that appeared were rare beast fetuses.
Zhong Cai quickly recognized them: "The fetus of the Unicorn Green Deer, the fetus of the Breeze Winged Wolf, and the fetus of the White Violent Bear."
Wu Shaogan praised, "A-Cai has great insight."
Zhong Cai was quite pleased with herself, and then quickly arranged their whereabouts.
"The unicorn deer is a special case, and the winged wolf is a flying beast. We'll keep them for now and see when it's convenient to make a move."
"The White Tyrannosaurus is very powerful, but relatively common. Let's put it in a blind box."
Wu Shaogan praised again: "That makes sense."
Zhong Cai was even more pleased with himself.
Wu Shaogan couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek and hug him.
Zhong Cai found a comfortable position in Wu Shaogan's arms as usual and stayed still.
Their gazes turned to the sky once more.
This time, there are five level-five resources.
The seal trembled slightly, and the golden light spun twice in succession.
·
The first item is a fifth-level cultivation technique.
This technique is related to swordsmanship, and it also carries a rather sharp metallic element.
Many cultivators know how to use swords, so sword techniques will definitely sell well.
The second item is a level-five beast core.
It comes from a blue-blooded savage serpent, whose core can be used as medicine.
As a medicinal herb, it is also a good choice for Zhong Cai.
The third item is a fifth-tier rare beast egg.
It comes from a jade bird, and once hatched, it will be a rare bird that is not only beautiful in appearance but also very fast.
They still sell well.
The fourth item is a level five talisman.
The Formation-Breaking Talisman is a rare talisman that can break most level 5 and lower formations. Even if it cannot break some special level 5 formations, it can still cause minor damage, allowing others to find some flaws.
The fifth item is a level-five elixir.
It's an old friend; it's a mid-grade limb-regenerating pill that can regenerate damaged limbs for cultivators who have undergone fusion.
That pill was the auction item that made Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan rich for the first time.
This time, it can be put into a blind box, and once it is opened by a customer, it will definitely be very popular.
·
After identifying these five level-five resources, Zhong Cai genuinely felt that their hands were quite red today.
None of these five items are useless!
Zhong Cai said with a smile, "Our wealth has increased, and so have our methods."
He was referring to the formation-breaking talisman.
Wu Shaogan also smiled.
·
The next tremor and the stirring of golden light indicate the appearance of Level 6 resources.
This time, there are three items.
Zhong Cai's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Then the remaining four seals will definitely all be level seven! Besides the guaranteed minimum, we've also gotten some gold!"
Wu Shaogan smoothed Zhong Cai's hair again and said, "Congratulations."
Zhong Cai replied without hesitation, "Congratulations to you too!"
·
All three Level 6 resources were revealed at once.
The first item is a refining material that combines the attributes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements!
Isn't this one of the materials for upgrading the ancient city?
The second item is a puppet.
They've really released a puppet!
A level six puppet, its strength is comparable to that of a Palace Construct Realm cultivator!
The two had already sent the Silver Armored Soldiers, who were at the peak of the Palace Constructing Realm, to protect the blind box shop. They were about to leave, but because they had many defensive items, they still couldn't summon it back.
But Zhong Cai had expressed her expectations before, and now that it has actually been released, it is truly gratifying!
Now they will be safer traveling.
And the third thing...
It's still a level six puppet!
Judging from its aura, it's similar to the second one.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan exchanged a glance.
Both of them could see that the two puppets had very similar auras and seemed to be made using the same technique.
It must have been made by cultivators who shared the same lineage.
The two puppets looked and felt almost like real people, and were of a much higher level than the Azure Sky Puppet.
One statue depicts an ordinary young man, and the other depicts an ordinary young woman.
She looked just like the most ordinary servant.
