Chapter 549 Participating in Support
Because Wu Shaogan consumed a large quantity of top-quality medicines without hesitation, he was soon completely healthy and unharmed.
Wu Shaogan's gaze never left Zhong Cai. His aura had long since lost its previous unapproachable quality; instead, it was becoming increasingly... familiar to the disciples of the War God Temple, and unfamiliar to the disciples of the Nine Sounds Sect.
The disciples of the Nine Sounds Sect had no choice but to get used to Wu Shaogan's current appearance.
Wu Shaogan is no longer playing.
Zhong Cai, on the other hand, after chatting intimately with Wu Shaogan for a while and seeing that Wu Shaogan had recovered, simply sat cross-legged, took out dozens of alchemy furnaces, lit the wood fire, threw in countless medicinal herbs, and began to refine pills.
That's right, dozens of batches are refined at the same time!
If an ordinary alchemist were to make such a move, it would inevitably arouse some suspicion. But this is Zhong Danwang, ranked second on the seventh level! His alchemy skills are extremely renowned, and it is impossible for him to do something in public without certainty.
Moreover, there are many disciples of the Temple of War Gods here. Just by looking at their expressions, you can see that they only have trust and joy, without the slightest surprise... which is enough to prove that this is definitely not the first time King Zhongdan has done this.
Perhaps, back when King Zhong Dan was on the battlefield of the Red Mist Mountain, he used this method to refine countless pills beyond his capacity.
Now that King Zhongdan is refining pills on the spot, it's unlikely that he's keeping them all for himself; he'll most likely sell them to the Nine Sounds Sect.
It was also quite helpful in supplying the Nine Sounds Gate.
I just don't know what the quality of the pills is like. If they're not too bad, that would be great...
Thus, the scene of Zhong Cai refining pills in batches greatly broadened the horizons of the Nine Sounds Sect disciples, and even attracted many alchemists from the Nine Sounds Sect to come closer to watch Zhong Cai's actions, hoping to gain some insights from them.
Wu Shaogan sat behind Zhong Cai, one hand loosely resting on Zhong Cai's waist, with a slight smile on his face.
Zhong Cai was very skilled at refining pills; he refined level five pills at the fastest speed.
The final result was not just "not too bad" in quality, but rather quite good – the vast majority of them were actually top-quality!
Zhong Cai was not surprised at all; after a rough count, she even showed a slight disdain.
Having honed his skills on the battlefield, he was now able to consistently produce high-quality pills when refining certain level-five pills in batches, with only occasional mid-quality pills appearing.
But this time, nearly half of them are of medium grade, which means that his proficiency in alchemy has declined.
This is probably because he has been studying for many days and has only refined elixirs a few times.
·
Now that the pills were ready, Zhong Cai leaned closer to Wu Shaogan, who immediately began to bustle about as usual, sorting all the pills by quality and putting them into different small bottles.
It was at this moment that the couple, unsurprisingly, saw the logistics manager of the Nine Sounds Sect hurrying over to ask for pills.
In order to resupply, those in logistics keep an eye on every available resource.
They were determined to get their hands on the elixir!
Zhong Cai sold them all to the logistics manager at the normal price.
Zhong Cai's attitude towards the Nine Sounds Sect was quite serious, and he was very methodical during the transactions.
Logically, Wu Shaogan and Zhong Cai could operate separately. Zhong Cai could focus on alchemy, while Wu Shaogan would handle these "odd jobs." However, the Nine Sounds Sect's impression of Wu Shaogan was already fixed. Even though Wu Shaogan was smiling like a flower, they couldn't help but feel that he was hiding a knife behind his smile. If Wu Shaogan were to actually make the deal, he would probably scare them half to death before the transaction even started.
Therefore, Wu Shaogan could only silently accompany Zhong Cai.
The logistics manager successfully completed the transaction and, seeing that Wu Shaogan seemed to have become merely an accessory to King Zhong Dan, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left with the pills.
Zhong Cai cleaned the alchemy furnace, meditated and regulated his breathing for a while, and then opened the furnace again.
They still used dozens of furnaces at a time, and the pills they refined were the most commonly used ones.
In just a few hours, Zhong Cai had already greatly reduced the logistical burden on the Nine Sounds Sect.
Many of the Nine Sounds Sect disciples were in a good mood as they watched.
It seems that King Zhong Dan has no plans to leave for the time being.
This is really good.
Although Wu Douwang was extremely swift in slaughtering the evil cultivators on the battlefield, it always made them feel uneasy. They also had a vague feeling that if things continued like this, Wu Douwang might lose control, and they, who had gone to the battlefield and were covered in blood, might also succumb to the "temptation" of that secret technique and follow along like "moths to a flame"!
It would be better to let Wu Douwang rest and recuperate as soon as possible, so that he can master the secret technique better before taking to the field again...
They had considered making the suggestion before, but were hesitant to approach it. Now that King Zhong Dan has arrived, it's even better.
·
In fact, Wu Shaogan was not really out of control; as long as he used certain methods, he was absolutely in control.
However, its use feels too dangerous, attracting only evil forces... which is rather eerie. It's hard not to feel that people might be misled after killing too many of these creatures...
It is a consensus among cultivators that they need to have perfect essence, energy, and spirit to be less prone to making mistakes.
·
And so the couple continued, one leisurely refining elixirs while the other cautiously accompanied him.
The situation on the battlefield was quite urgent. Although the couple missed each other very much, they were content with just seeing each other and did nothing else.
For example, they really wanted to just rush into the ancient city and roll around in it...
The current situation is that the couple occasionally glance at each other to barely alleviate their longing for each other.
·
Before he knew it, Zhong Cai had been on the battlefield for a month or so.
Although he provided a considerable amount of pills—and earned a large sum of Xuan Stones—it was, to say the least, a drop in the ocean compared to the overall battle, and certainly not enough to sway the outcome.
After spending several days with Zhong Cai, Wu Shaogan continued his mission of providing support and joined the fight against the evil forces.
Naturally, they continued their slaughter in all directions as before.
This time, however, he didn't use that murderous aura anymore. His mental state was also much more stable, and when he fought, he had a righteous and upright feel to him. He was also composed and calm, showing great demeanor.
Under such circumstances, many disciples of the Nine Sounds Sect couldn't help but look at it again and again, constantly comparing the two images in their minds. In a daze, they always felt... they didn't know if they were dreaming now, or if they had been dreaming for a long time before?
However, the disciples of the Nine Sounds Sect gradually got used to it.
Seeing Senior Brother Wu like this only fueled the disciples of the War God Temple's enthusiasm.
We have role models to look up to!
·
While refining the pills, Zhong Cai raised her hand and tossed a bottle to the side.
The bottle was easily caught, and a cheerful voice rang out at the opportune moment: "Uncle Zhong, I'm already injured, and you still used so much force!"
It sounds like a complaint, but it's actually more like a spoiled child.
Zhong Cai rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and hurriedly said, "Speak properly to me!"
Not far away, the tall man chuckled, quickly took out a pill from the bottle and ate it, then said, "Don't be so old-fashioned! Uncle Zhong, are you really getting old?"
Zhong Cai couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Why don't you look in the mirror? How old are you and you're still acting cute!"
The tall man was overjoyed.
Zhong Cai rolled his eyes again: "If it weren't for the fact that you're injured, I'd beat you up right now." He paused, then, as if suddenly having an idea, added, "Right, I can't beat you up now, but I can later. I'll put it on your tab and tell Old Wu later, so he can fulfill your wish of getting a beating!"
The tall man immediately fell silent.
The elegant young man sitting next to him, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly smiled slightly.
Serves him right! Let that kid cause trouble!
·
The tall man was naturally Wu Dongxiao, and the elegant gentleman was Xuan Bing.
Even though Zhong Cai didn't notice his nephew after he arrived, even though Wu Dongxiao was right next to him and Wu Shaogan, he wasn't blind, and eventually he saw him.
Wu Dongxiao fought fiercely and was injured many times. In addition, he was currently focused on fighting and had not been refining pills himself. His resources were also depleted due to the long fighting and he had not had time to replenish them. So he immediately came to his Uncle Zhong for help.
Zhong Cai certainly gave him a lot of pills.
With the help of these pills, Wu Dongxiao fought even more fiercely and suffered more injuries—because he knew that as long as Uncle Zhong was here, he would never lack pills, so his drive was naturally greater, and he would have more opportunities to hone his skills.
Zhong Cai doesn't usually spend much time with this adopted nephew, but on such an occasion, he truly gives his full support.
Wu Dongxiao has also accumulated a great deal of military achievements.
But this kid is a bit of a troublemaker and likes to "make the best of a bad situation," so he often provokes his gentler uncle... which has earned him a lot of resentment from this gentler Uncle Zhong.
Wu Dongxiao didn't care, because he knew that Uncle Zhong didn't have a good memory for things other than his uncle. Even if he held a grudge for a while, he would forget it quickly, so he never changed his ways.
However……
Now Uncle Zhong has suddenly decided to turn the beating into an IOU!
Wu Dongxiao then behaved himself.
Xuan Bing secretly found it amusing—it seemed that after this battle, his junior brother would be receiving many more "guidances" from Junior Brother Wu.
Serves you right!
·
After about a day, Wu Shaogan returned.
Zhong Cai had just finished refining a batch of pills and was now happily going up to greet him, gesturing wildly at him.
Wu Dongxiao, who had just returned from the battlefield and was covered in blood, silently shrank back.
Sure enough, Wu Shaogan looked over and gave him a meaningful look.
