Chapter 562 Opening-up Model
Both masters cared deeply for their disciples, and they shared their thoughts and concerns one after the other.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan listened carefully to the whole thing.
They hadn't anticipated that there might be disciples from two different factions involved... but indeed, Sect Master Ji and Grand Hall Master Pei might bring it up, or they might not. But even if it were opened to those disciples, it wouldn't matter.
The payment mentioned by the masters is indeed to be collected.
Restrictions on access tokens also need to be implemented.
After all, a master is a master, a fellow disciple is a fellow disciple, and a senior is a senior; they are all different.
The masters are our own people, but as for the others... the relationship is much more distant.
·
Zhong Cai thought for a moment and said, "I think it's okay to let Sect Master Ji and Hall Master Pei see the original appearance of the many cultivation rooms in the ancient city. But the plaques for the small halls with features like the lightning tribulation simulation and the contemplation of heaven and earth can be erased. Anyway, we all know where they are."
Wu Shaogan then said, "Regarding whether the Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall's fellow disciples entered the ancient city... perhaps we can bring it up ourselves."
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan were on the same page, and Zhong Cai immediately guessed many of Wu Shaogan's thoughts. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he continued, "Why don't we charge them for the passage tokens based on the time? We can also teleport them directly to the corresponding cultivation room, so they don't need to know that we're inside the ancient city." He suggested, "We can discuss this with the sect leader and Grand Hall Master Pei."
Wu Shaogan spread his hands, and soon a pair of two-inch-long slips appeared in his hands—quite different from the pass tokens given to his two masters—and then he showed them one by one, and saw that each slip had a line of words written on it.
[Alchemy simulation room, one hour.]
[Secret Technique Deduction Simulation Room, three hours.]
[A self-created simulation room for secret techniques, lasting twelve hours.]
[Extreme Environment Training Chamber, five hours.]
[Special Attribute Training Room...]
[Level Simulation...]
These are all snow-white skewer sticks.
Then there were two special slips, also snow-white, but with blood-red tips.
[Thunder Tribulation Simulation Room, one month.]
[Contemplate the universe for three months.]
Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang were relieved after seeing the signs clearly.
Jiang Chongguang nodded and said, "That's excellent."
After a moment's thought, Sang Yunchu said, "Regarding the suggestion to share this cultivation room with all of you fellow disciples, your master and Senior Brother Jiang can handle it on your behalf."
Zhong Cai's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Then I'll have to trouble you two masters!"
Jiang Chongguang nodded again, indicating his agreement.
Sang Yunchu added, "We two will also go to report the matter of the lightning tribulation simulation room to the sect leader and the main hall master."
Jiang Chongguang nodded again.
Zhong Cai understood that this was because the masters had decided to take the initiative to act as intermediaries, which would also make it easier to discuss with the sect.
This is all for them.
Zhong Cai was delighted, stroked his chin, and then discussed with his two masters, "This is the price range... how should we set it?"
·
Price is indeed a problem.
In fact, these functions do not consume the ancient city's energy, since apart from the hot spring and the Heavenly Thunder tempering, the others are all fake.
Even the lightning tribulation simulation only simulates the feeling and does not actually cause harm to people.
However, the hot spring will not be open to the public; it will only be used by Mr. and Mrs. Zhong and their two masters. They may also have their nephew added, or at most, their nephew might bring Xuan Bing along by causing trouble... The hot spring will be sufficient.
The Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering is part of the Thunder Tribulation Simulation Chamber, but the body tempering function is only open to a very limited number of people. Ji Zhan and Pei Xiaoling will not have the body tempering function open; they will only be allowed to experience the Thunder Tribulation simulation.
Therefore, all functions that are open to the public have no cost.
However, if the fee is too low, it is easy to be disregarded by others.
·
Sang Yunchu pondered and said, "For a level nine power, there are many training grounds with similar functions, and they are all very expensive. The main purpose is to open a few simulation rooms to save disciples' time and help them avoid detours... However, such functions are rare, so they cannot be too cheap, nor can they be opened to disciples of any level."
Zhong Cai said, "Let's only open it to cultivators at levels seven to nine. Fifty spots will be available for each type of simulation room at each level? If the training room is already full, then we'll have to wait."
Sang Yunchu nodded: "Okay."
Zhong Cai then asked, "So, for cultivators at levels seven and eight, the fee is... ten Xuan Stones per hour?"
Sang Yunchu did the math and thought it was a good idea.
·
The reason for using ranks instead of realms is that many alchemists in the Lingxian Sect are actually alchemists who have surpassed their own level.
Alchemists who reach the seventh level are already highly skilled in alchemy and often have long lifespans, so they can spend a lot of time on research. If you are at a lower level, it is better to focus on improving your "professional skills" and not spend too much time on creating or deducing new ideas.
Each pill made by a level seven alchemist can sell for tens of thousands of mid-grade Xuan stones; each pill made by a level eight alchemist can sell for tens of thousands of high-grade Xuan stones.
A cultivator who has reached the Spirit Transformation or Nirvana stage can hunt down a savage beast of the same level and sell it for at least 50,000 Xuan Stones!
The "ten mystic stones" mentioned by Zhong Cai for each hour mean ten medium-grade stones of level seven and ten high-grade stones of level eight.
This price isn't cheap, but it definitely won't be a burden for cultivators at these two levels.
·
Sang Yunchu added, "As for the sect leader and Grand Hall Master Pei, if they want to experience the tribulation, they will have to pay 100,000 high-grade Xuan stones each time they enter."
Zhong Cai hissed involuntarily.
Then he realized that it meant entering 100,000 times at a time, not 100,000 times in an hour.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense.
Experiencing a tribulation of lightning is an immense burden. The arrival of a tribulation of lightning is a devastating experience for both body and mind. Once you enter the tribulation and endure a single strike of lightning, if you cannot withstand it, you will almost experience the feeling of death. Even two powerful experts would probably need to rest for a period of time before they can undergo another tribulation.
Given their immense pride, they certainly wouldn't wait in the cultivation room to recover before trying again...
A single level-nine pill costs at least a million high-grade Xuan stones, enough for ten trials.
Of course, it's possible to ask for a million each time.
At only 100,000, the price is actually very cheap.
The reason why the ancient city's lightning tribulation simulation was opened to the two Tongtians was to help them successfully pass the second lightning tribulation after several hundred years. In fact, it was mainly to make some contributions to the sect.
The stronger the two Tongtians become, the longer their two level-nine forces can develop.
Although according to Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang's idea, when the two Tongtians undergo their second tribulation, their disciples might also have reached or be about to reach the Tongtian level, who would complain about having too many strong people?
The Lingxian Sect and the War God Palace are two excellent forces, which have already made Sang Jiang and Zhong Wu feel a strong sense of belonging.
Naturally, I also hope they get better and better.
·
The master and his disciples then reached an agreement.
In front of everyone, Wu Shaogan also made many jade slips, the time numbers on which could be changed at any time.
After that, Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang left the ancient city.
Without hesitation, they went directly to the residence of Sect Master Ji and Palace Master Pei.
As the master and his disciples had discussed, they handled the whole matter properly.
·
A few days later, Ji Zhan and Pei Xiaoling arrived at this place and entered the ancient city.
Led by Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang, the two toured all the open cultivation rooms, with their final destination being the contemplation of heaven and earth and the lightning tribulation simulation.
Of course, this time it's free; it's a preview tour.
Neither of them entered the simulated lightning tribulation to experience it; only Pei Xiaoling observed it closely. He sensed that the aura of the lightning tribulation was indeed exactly the same as what they had experienced before.
When Pei Xiaoling requested a second lightning tribulation simulation, it was discovered that the intensity of each bolt of lightning was indeed greater than the previous one.
Pei Xiaoling was very satisfied.
He was skilled in combat and his physique was very strong, so he was somewhat confident about the next tribulation. However, he couldn't help but worry about his Daoist partner, Ji Zhan.
Ji Zhan himself is not a fragile character, but he is a Dan Zun who doesn't like sports.
Although Ji Zhan could refine a considerable number of pills to temper his body for his own consumption, without much refinement, he was not very effective. He was seriously injured during his first tribulation and almost did not survive. It was only because Pei Xiaoling had cultivated a secret technique that could transfer some of the damage suffered by his Daoist partner to himself that Ji Zhan was able to survive.
If the first tribulation was this difficult, the second one would be even more terrifying. Even with all the preparations, Pei Xiaoling was still worried that Ji Zhan wouldn't be able to get through it.
After all, they didn't know what they were doing.
Before experiencing the tribulation of lightning, how could they be sure what they would endure?
But with the lightning tribulation simulation, things are different.
As Ji Zhan enters the simulation room more often, he prepares and adjusts his physical strength based on the amount and intensity of the lightning tribulation he endures each time. When he actually encounters the lightning tribulation, he will be well-prepared.
It can be said that the lightning tribulation simulation can increase Ji Zhan's chances of successfully passing the second lightning tribulation to more than 70% or 80%!
For Pei Xiaoling, this couldn't be better!
Ji Zhan was also very happy.
He rarely showed emotion, but he wanted to stay with Pei Xiaoling for many years.
The existence of the lightning tribulation simulation was unexpected, but with this simulation, he did have more confidence in the future.
As for those mysterious stones that were spent...
In Ji Zhan's view, it was really just a drop in the ocean.
·
Afterwards, the group made an agreement.
The opening of the ancient city's training room to disciples from both families was handled entirely according to the rules that Zhong Cai and the others had discussed earlier.
At the same time, each time a disciple rents a cultivation room, although they only deduct Xuan Stones, the Zhong and Wu couple can also obtain a certain number of alchemy points and martial arts points, depending on the length of time they rent the room.
Yes, the cultivation methods they adopted certainly contributed to the sect.
The sect's form of reward is a corresponding number of points.
The number of points awarded is equivalent to the value of the Xuan Stones paid by the disciples.
