Chapter 396 Some Miscellaneous Matters
Since Sang Yunchu can earn alchemy points in this way, Jiang Chongguang can certainly earn martial arts points in the same way.
Both of them have so much to say about their knowledge.
Sang Yunchu goes without saying; just explaining each type of pill and producing top-grade ones would be enough to create numerous videos. Jiang Chongguang's approach is much more complex, starting with the most basic cultivation methods and explaining the intricacies of each combat strategy.
Overall, however, Jiang Chongguang had much less to say than Sang Yunchu.
·
Zhong Cai, resting her chin on her hand, suddenly made a suggestion: "Master Jiang, could you do some commentary on the matches?"
Jiang Chongguang looked at Zhong Cai and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Zhong Cai gave an example: "In the future, many disciples will join the Temple of War. Master Jiang can have them spar with each other and record the footage. At the same time, you can record your explanation of the strengths and weaknesses of the two people during the battle. Afterwards, Master Jiang can share the martial arts points earned from recording the footage with them."
Jiang Chongguang pondered for a moment and said, "We can try when we have nothing left to say."
Zhong Cai chuckled.
The master and his disciples, along with Wu Dongxiao, talked together for a while.
Afterwards, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan got up to say goodbye.
They planned to go to the outer gate and use up the remaining attendant slots.
It's not for any other reason, but since they now have such a branch mountain range, they should make good use of it. They should plant the medicinal herbs that are meant to be planted, and even sell the surplus directly to the sect.
In some places, time arrays can be set up to cultivate those more precious level 7 medicinal herbs. Yes, although Zhong Cai is currently only a level 6 alchemist, he can pick almost all the level 6 medicinal herbs he needs in his own herb garden, and he can also directly "buy online" the rest. But when he reaches level 7, if he wants to open up alchemy, he will probably inevitably have shortages from time to time.
We should plan ahead now and plant as many as possible.
Fortunately, Zhong Cai now has a large territory, the ancient city's medicine garden is very helpful, and the ancient city's cultivation room can also simulate and save a lot of medicinal materials for him, so there is basically no need to worry too much.
·
Seeing that his two uncles were about to leave, Wu Dongxiao also prepared to take his leave.
Jiang Chongguang said, "Cai'er, stop for a moment, you all wait a bit."
Both Zhong and Wu looked at him.
Jiang Chongguang: "Dong Xiao is now going to select his accompanying protectors."
Wu Dongxiao was taken aback.
Jiang Chongguang said, "Take a close look at your benefits list."
Wu Dongxiao only glanced at it briefly and didn't look at it closely. Now that he opened it again, he found that one of the items inside was "Gourd Residence, a Dharma Protector".
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan also remembered.
They had seen it when they browsed the list before, but hadn't paid much attention to it.
The two of them couldn't help but smile.
Many years have passed since they entered the sect. During this time, they have not encountered any danger, and they have rarely left the sect. The accompanying protectors have not been used at all, and most of the time they are allowed to cultivate in the gourd dwelling.
However, for Dongxiao, this is probably a very important protective force, and he needs to choose carefully.
Because the Palace Master's clone accompanying the protagonist might encounter terrifying dangers... it's entirely possible that it could be destroyed.
·
Seeing that Wu Dongxiao had seen it, Jiang Chongguang continued, "Now that you have joined my hall, I should guide you in the selection of protectors. There should be a list of candidates in your mustard seed ring. You have looked at it carefully now, and let Cai'er and Shaogan also take a look. Once you have chosen one, I will take you there, and then I will take you to choose your attendants."
Wu Dongxiao hurriedly said, "Thank you, Grandmaster. I'm sorry to trouble you."
Zhong Cai simply said, "Old Wu and I are about to select attendants. How about this, after Dong Xiao chooses his protector, Master Jiang will take him to pay his respects first, and then Dong Xiao will come with us. We'll leave the matter of him selecting attendants to us. Master Jiang has just arrived, and he probably has many arrangements to discuss with Master, so let's not run around."
Jiang Chongguang nodded and said, "That works too."
Wu Dongxiao quickly said to the Zhong couple, "Then I'll trouble you two uncles as well."
Zhong Cai raised her hand and tapped him on the head.
Wu Dongxiao dared not cover his head, which made him look a little pitiful, but he immediately laughed, which was quite amusing.
·
Wu Dongxiao took out the book of Dharma Protectors and unfolded it.
Because he needed the help of several elders to examine the images, he didn't just probe with his soul, but activated it to display the images inside to the elders one by one.
In an instant, a woman holding a flamethrower appeared. She was nine feet tall, but not in a burly or imposing way. Instead, she was quite agile and full-figured, a magnified version of a beauty.
Her aura was also quite imposing. The moment the image appeared, she thrust her gun forward, and the flames burst forth with terrifying force, creating an endless sea of fire that turned everything around into scorched earth!
Extremely powerful!
·
Wu Dongxiao carefully examined the introduction beside him, and sensed the energy attributes that the temple master was unleashing, as well as some of the simple combat techniques he was displaying. He was somewhat tempted.
This one seems pretty good.
However, after the image of the temple master was shown for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the second one immediately arrived.
This is a bald man wielding two large hammers. When he blasts them forward, they produce terrifying explosions that almost shatter the space around him.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the third person arrived...
Then the fourth, fifth, sixth...
The timing of each presentation was precise, and the way the images were displayed one by one was dazzling.
·
Zhong Cai watched from the side, her expression somewhat subtle.
These Nirvana Palace Masters are undoubtedly all at the late Nirvana stage or above, and their strength is extraordinary, but their numbers...
There were a whopping twenty-three of them!
It should be noted that there are only thirty-one Nirvana cultivators in the War God Temple who have reached this level!
Back then, the Zhong-Wu couple only faced twenty choices, and ultimately selected two.
Including the two of them, and the geniuses from the Spirit Immortal Sect and the War God Palace who took them away before... the number of Nirvana late-stage experts who are not currently listed in this book can probably be counted on one hand.
Is this what it means to be treated like a main character?
Impressive!
·
After looking around, Wu Dongxiao selected four people who were skilled in fire.
After all, he himself is of the fire element. If he had a temple master of the same element by his side, and they could get along well, he could ask for advice.
Another factor is whether your personalities are compatible and whether your fighting style suits your style...
Seeing his hesitation, Wu Shaogan brushed aside two of the images and said, "These two won't do. One's fighting style is too violent, but you are more cautious by nature, so they are not suitable. The other is too aloof and doesn't like to talk to people. Your personalities won't be compatible."
Wu Dongxiao understood immediately and quickly gave up on the two women—the first woman with the flame gun he saw was this one with a reclusive personality.
There were two others remaining. One was a burly man who seemed very easy to get along with, and he wielded a heavy sword. The other was a middle-aged man who looked older, tall and thin, with a gaunt face. He seemed somewhat arrogant and a bit dry-looking. Occasionally, a restless glint would flash in his eyes, indicating that he was not a mild-mannered person and could sometimes be quite irritable. He wielded a spear.
Both of them should be suitable.
Considering only the weapon used...
Wu Dongxiao himself used a long halberd, which, like the middle-aged palace master, belonged to the category of long weapons.
So he finally said, "Uncle, Uncle Zhong, I'd like to choose this Palace Master Jinzong, is that alright?"
It was the middle-aged palace master.
Zhong Cai looked at this person and then thought back for a moment.
The Palace Master Jin Cong... seems to be the Palace Master of the Ninth Branch Palace. Although he seems difficult to get along with, he is actually quite popular.
Zhong Cai then looked at Wu Shaogan.
After a moment's thought, Wu Shaogan nodded and said, "Okay."
Wu Dongxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he had a good impression of this Lord Jinzong. Even though the other party's temperament was not really "fire-attribute", he felt that he would be able to get along well with him.
Now that my uncle agrees, it proves that you can't judge a book by its cover; his intuition was right!
And so, that's how it was decided.
Jiang Chongguang took the books without hesitation, pulled Wu Dongxiao along, and then quickly disappeared from the spot.
They are very efficient.
Zhong Cai found it a bit funny, but quickly resumed chatting with her master.
The two of them tinkered with the Danwu Sky Screen together, mainly browsing the video and trading areas. Some medicinal herbs that Sang Yunchu had his eye on were directly snapped up by Zhong Cai—after all, he had a lot of alchemy points, and they were constantly increasing—who could blame him when he was at the top of the rankings as a fifth or sixth-level alchemy king?
Because of their fame, their videos sold even better.
It would be so easy to give some of it to our master now.
Sang Yunchu looked at it and couldn't help but smile.
After buying it for a while, with Zhong Cai's help, he quickly tried "recording a video", starting with the simplest level one pill, choosing an angle and adjusting the way he explained it.
Before long, a definite style was established.
Those substandard videos were never uploaded and were simply deleted after being discovered to be inappropriate during recording.
Sang Yunchu immediately provided several video explanations.
Now all that's needed is a minor adjustment, and once that's done, they'll all be gradually uploaded to his "personal page".
After accumulating a few more, we can release them.
Zhong Cai excitedly said to Sang Yunchu, "Master learns so fast! Master is so smart!"
Sang Yunchu couldn't help but chuckle: "There's no need for such flattery."
Zhong Cai disagreed: "How can you call this flattery? This is clearly what I truly think!"
He immediately turned his head and looked at Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan was serving tea to the two of them. Naturally, he had to support his Ah Cai, so he immediately chimed in, "Ah Cai is right!"
Sang Yunchu remained calm and collected: "Flattery is flattery." Then he changed the subject, "Cai'er is thoughtful. Shaogan is thoughtful too."
Zhong Cai couldn't help but laugh.
The master and apprentice chatted and laughed for a while.
Wu Shaogan continued to refill their tea.
If we talk too much, we'll need to drink some tea.
While he was adding tea with his right hand, his left hand had already reached under the table and grasped Zhong Cai's hand.
Zhong Cai clasped his hands back, gripping Wu Shaogan tightly.
The two were very used to being close together, and Sang Yunchu, as a Spirit Transformation expert, naturally wouldn't miss it... However, even though he noticed, he didn't pay attention, after all, he was already quite used to it.
·
Not long after, a gust of wind blew in.
Jiang Chongguang and Wu Dongxiao appeared at the door.
At this moment, Wu Dongxiao was wearing the pendant from the Gourd Residence around his neck, its spiritual light faintly emanating from it, clearly indicating that he had successfully invited back the protector.
Seeing this, Zhong Cai felt even more reassured about the protagonist's safety, and at the same time, she felt a little more sympathy for the guardian in the gourd... She hoped that everything would go well for the Palace Master.
No, wait a minute.
Zhong Cai touched her chin, thinking that she should feel sorry for the kid instead!
If the protagonist suffers hardship and causes the Palace Master's avatar to collapse, given his personality, he will definitely feel guilty. Even if it's normal for a Dharma Protector to perish to protect a disciple, the protagonist will still feel remorse, and might even have to spend more money to help the Palace Master rebuild his avatar.
And since the goal is to rebuild, elixirs are indispensable...
Wow.
If he's not mistaken, his future offspring might not only owe him, "Uncle Zhong," a sum of Xuan Stones, but also Uncle Zhong's master a sum of Xuan Stones! After all, many pills are better when they're custom-made.
·
For some reason, Wu Dongxiao shivered.
It seemed as if some unknown danger was pressing down on him.
This wasn't the first time he'd felt this way. Back on the Flying Star Continent, whenever he had a bad feeling, it was always a very bad omen, and he always ended up with a near-death experience.
Now that he has arrived on the top continent, although his senses were not clear when he was shivering just now, he will definitely encounter many "life-threatening" crises in the future.
He needs to cultivate himself more diligently and actively devise defensive measures for himself.
At this moment, Wu Dongxiao lowered his eyes and looked towards Hulu Residence.
Inside sat a protector of extremely high strength.
So, Wu Dongxiao slowly calmed down.
He looked at his two uncles again... and suddenly felt a sense of security.
·
Now that Wu Dongxiao had finished his business and returned, the Zhong-Wu couple decided not to stay any longer.
The two men, along with Wu Dongxiao, rose to their feet, bid farewell to their two masters, and summoned Qingpeng—the task of guarding the summoning pool would temporarily be taken over by the Silver Wolf.
Wu Dongxiao then prepared to summon the Crimson Fire Phoenix.
The Crimson Fire Phoenix also used up one of its spots—because it had followed Wu Dongxiao into the Land of All Beings, just like Wu Dongxiao himself. If it wanted to be able to freely enter and exit the Land of All Beings again in the future, it could only do so like Wu Dongxiao. Besides, the Crimson Fire Phoenix itself also needed to go to that place of opportunity with Wu Dongxiao, so it was best to act with Wu Dongxiao to avoid missing out.
Before Wu Dongxiao could even open the beast sac, his two uncles summoned him to ride the Azure Roc.
Qingyu was very familiar with the paths of the Lingxian Sect. After Zhong Cai gave it a few instructions, it nodded slightly and carried the group of people quickly toward the outer gate.
The selection of attendants went very smoothly afterward.

Inside the "Forum".
[Discussion] I finally saw what Wu Shaogan's nephew looks like!
The post begins with a lengthy and detailed introduction.
[OP: Today, I happened to have a follower escorted back to the outer sect when I saw Senior Brother Wu and King Zhong Dan bringing a handsome man to select followers. They quickly chose thirty people, explaining the selection process to the man as they went. And that man also had thirty slots! I even saw a gourd hanging around his neck! So Senior Brother Wu's nephew has the strength of a Battle King, just like him! I heard that Senior Brother Wu received similar treatment back then! Maybe this nephew is another Senior Brother Wu, or at least not by much!]
The post was spread out on the floor in a long stretch, with densely packed handwriting.
Many disciples who clicked in read it carefully and all showed expressions of surprise.
There are quite a few disciples with formidable combat power in the Temple of War, but not every one of them can receive the protection of the Gourd Abode Protector.
After all, the number of protectors of Gourd Abode is really limited. If they weren't at the level of a Battle King, why would the Palace Master personally accompany them? They actually have other methods of protection.
Generally speaking, the appearance of each gourd-shaped dwelling represents a fighting king.
Although everyone knew that Wu Dongxiao, as an outsider who was too old, would definitely not be able to make the list, they were all very curious about where this junior brother Dongxiao would rank, given that he was receiving such treatment.
At this moment, more and more disciples flooded into the thread, and more and more replies followed.
[Wow! Our junior brother Zhong's nephew? He's really handsome!]
[Exploding again and again: Isn't he handsome? Although he's not the best-looking among our two factions, for some reason, when I look at Junior Brother Dongxiao's face, all my anger immediately disappears, and I always want to get closer to him.]
[Bombed by Senior Brother: Is the person upstairs having a crush?]
A series of echoes...
[Exactly!] [If you're feeling romantic, just go for it!] [Is he a senior brother or sister?] [Is he a junior brother or sister?] [Go for it!]
[After repeated explosions: Forget it! I just find it pleasing to the eye!]
[Martial Arts Xuanhuang: To be honest, I also think it looks good to me...]
[Martial Arts in the Azure Sea: I feel there's a unique charm to it?]
[Bombing Junior Sister: Look closely, he's actually not as good-looking as Junior Brother Wu Shaogan, but you can definitely be attracted to him after a few glances, and feel a strong liking for him. Do you think this new junior brother has cultivated some kind of charm technique?]
[Exploding Heaven: Hiss! Surely not? This is Junior Brother Wu's nephew! Knowing Junior Brother Wu's personality, his nephew will probably fight him head-on. Using charm magic would inevitably neglect physical attacks, and perhaps Junior Brother Wu wouldn't approve?]
[Martial Universe: Who knows? A well-used charm technique can also be a fighting force!]
[Exploding Flowers: I think Junior Brother Wu Dongxiao is simply charming; he doesn't actually possess any seductive arts...]
The group had their own arguments, but they all ended up focusing on Wu Dongxiao's good looks.
In fact, Wu Dongxiao hasn't shown any real strength in public yet, so it's understandable that he's only being discussed for his appearance.
Undoubtedly, most of the posts on the forum praised Wu Dongxiao's appearance.
Although this praise is still superficial, it will be a different story when the "protagonist" truly begins to shine.
·
Sang Jiang and Wu Dongxiao settled down at Lingxian Sect and War God Hall respectively as quickly as possible.
Wu Dongxiao often endured wind and rain during his training, so he didn't have high demands for his own life. After quickly tidying up, he handed over the tasks to the followers he had brought back, while he himself focused on cultivation and spent his other time refining pills and researching the Danwu Heavenly Curtain.
Then, he found the registration portal and quickly registered his name.
In another month, the selection process will officially begin, and at that time, he will have to go all out to showcase himself!
Wu Dongxiao hoped that his senior brother could arrive before this time... but he didn't know where his senior brother was and couldn't keep track of him, so he could only wait quietly.
·
Five days later, the 124th Hall officially began recruiting disciples.
Many disciples in the outer hall of the War God Temple have already merged, but they are temporarily staying in the outer hall because they are not confident in passing the inner sect assessment, or they want to wait until they are more confident.
But now, a new palace has been built.
In the other hundred or so branch halls, there are already tens of thousands of disciples. After joining, it would be difficult for them to be noticed by the hall master. Most of them can only take their time and wait to be noticed by the hall master.
But the new temple is different now; it's empty and hardly anyone is there!
For this very reason, if they can successfully enter this branch hall, with such a small number of them, the hall master will surely pay more attention to them, right? Their chances of being appreciated will also be much greater, right?
Upon realizing this, many outer hall disciples became excited.
They were all eager to pass the assessment and then directly choose to join the 124th Hall!
At the same time, many independent cultivators had already learned of the news and arrived one after another.
Not long ago, the Temple of War recruited disciples, and many people who came from afar had not yet had a chance to leave. Unexpectedly, they have another opportunity so soon!
An assessment is mandatory!
Don't miss this opportunity!
Therefore, on the day the small-scale disciple recruitment conference began, the area outside the Temple of War Gods was once again packed with people.
Countless rogue cultivators surged over, along with members and disciples from many small families and minor powers, all rushing over as quickly as possible.
Although the new hall still needs a large number of disciples to fill the positions, the number of places available for recruitment is still very limited. Once these places are filled, there probably won't be any more open recruitment. After all, the main task now is to establish a framework for the new hall. Once the basic staff is in place, the entire branch hall can start operating, and other disciples who want to join will have to wait and see.
If we fail this time too, we really won't be able to join the Temple of War again for a while.
Meanwhile, the news that the Lingxian Sect had added a new eighth-level Pill Emperor had spread, and among the rogue cultivators, a few outstanding alchemists admired this Pill Emperor.
However, the Lingxian Sect does not recruit disciples from outside. If that Pill Emperor is short of manpower, there are probably many Lingxian Sect disciples who would request to go there. There is no need for external alchemists at all.
However, precisely because the Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall are full of talented people and have become increasingly famous in recent decades, these alchemists who originally did not want to join any force have become somewhat tempted by the Lingxian Sect.
If I join the Lingxian Sect now, is there a chance to get close to the new Pill Emperor?
and……
For these rogue alchemists and martial arts practitioners, what attracts them most about the new Pill Emperor and the new Palace Master is their age.
It's less than three hundred.
If you stay by their side, you might encounter even more opportunities?
