Chapter 566 Saving My Nephew
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan rode their blue feathers directly towards the outside of the sect.
Qingyu and Qinghui are now both at the eighth rank. Due to the abundance of rare and precious materials, they are now among the best of their kind, with extraordinary combat power. Although they can only serve as a means of transportation for Zhong Wu and his wife, with so many disciples in the 125th Hall, they often act as "mentors" to guide these disciples in honing their martial arts skills. Moreover, the disciples' contracted rare beasts often follow behind them, also being honed by them.
In addition, Qingyu and Qinghui will also be hired by alchemists from the thirteenth lineage.
·
The thirteenth mountain range, a newly opened mountain range by the Lingxian Sect, is the mountain range with the most abundant Qi of heaven and earth in the entire force.
This mountain range was also bestowed upon Zhong Cai by the Lingxian Sect after he became the Pill Emperor and refused the Pill Emperor Ceremony.
Zhong Cai had already been the thirteenth lineage master many years ago.
It's just that because his own cultivation level is only at the Spirit Transformation stage, he has to spend all his time on himself, so he recruits very few alchemists, and it's done intermittently.
It wasn't until Wu Shaogan opened the 125th Hall that Zhong Cai began recruiting a large number of alchemists and would also spend some time explaining alchemy to them. However, unlike Wu Shaogan, who gave lectures every year, Zhong Cai would send a message whenever he had time to say that he was going to give a lecture, and after finishing, he would give a day or two to answer any questions before leaving.
Whether or not alchemists would happen to catch Zhong Cai explaining alchemy depended on their luck.
The alchemists weren't particularly unhappy, since Zhong Cai had already spent more time "lecturing" than the other alchemists since he started.
In addition, it is also very easy to apply for medicinal materials in Zhong Cai's lineage.
As long as certain limits are not exceeded, medicinal materials can be used freely—only those particularly rare medicinal materials require an alchemical examination before use, and only those that meet certain standards can be taken freely.
The alchemists had no objection to this, and they produced quite a few finished products.
More finished products mean more money.
The alchemists were overwhelmed with orders, making a fortune and accumulating substantial wealth.
Once, a master alchemist wanted to go out, but he didn't have any trustworthy martial arts cultivators to accompany him—his usual companions were either in seclusion or out on training. So he tried asking the sect leader if he could invite the sect leader's contracted rare beast, and he was willing to pay a high price.
Zhong Cai said he didn't care and it was up to Qinghui.
Qinghui was indeed willing.
So the alchemist, along with Qinghui, rampaged through the mountains he had chosen, finding a large number of medicinal herbs. They not only earned back the cost of their employment but also enriched their collection.
After this alchemist returned, the other alchemists were all envious and began to try to get closer to Qinghui.
Even because Qinghui and Qingyu were always together, they tried to get close to Qingyu...
And so, Qinghui and Qingyu became the primary targets for alchemists to hire.
Moreover... alchemists are not short of money, so they often not only hire Qinghui and Qingyu, but also bring their own martial arts cultivators, so they can gain even more and always come out unscathed during their adventures.
As a result, Qinghui and Qingyu were often very busy.
My days are quite fulfilling.
They are now quite wealthy, since they mostly travel in the mountains, and any wild beasts that they eliminate to protect alchemists are collected by them.
The Zhong couple treated them very well, providing them with spacious mustard seed containers. And as they've grown to their current size, they each have their own internal space...
Even the Zhong and Wu couple don't know how much wealth these two contracted rare beasts have accumulated.
All I know is that there are so many—so many that even if they are trapped in some secret realm in the future, they will probably not lack cultivation resources even after several decades or hundreds of years.
·
As usual, the Zhong-Wu couple took Qingyu's car first when they went out this time.
Qingyu is indeed there.
As for Qinghui, it was hired and taken away by other alchemists a few days ago, and now it is unknown which mountain range it is hunting in.
After leaving the sect for quite some distance, the couple entered the ancient city.
Qingyu found a place to lie down and rest.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan stood on the inner city tower, their minds racing.
In an instant, the ancient city transformed into a gigantic warship!
Because the current form of the ancient city is subject to the changing wishes of the two people, it is currently changing rapidly.
When it first appeared—in fact, in the form it took when it last appeared as a warship—it was no different from an ordinary flying treasure ship. But now, it has transformed into a sleek shuttle shape.
The bow of the ship is very sharp.
The ship looks very light, but it is actually quite heavy. Due to its shape, it is faster than other treasure ships of the same class.
At the same time, the ship's hull was constantly shrinking—the original hull, which was already several thousand feet long, was not very convenient to move around.
Now, it finally shrank to less than a hundred feet before stopping.
Once the warships were formed, they charged straight out!
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan were originally standing on the city gate tower, but now they are in the main cabin on the ship.
From the outside, the main cabin is just a slightly protruding cabin, but the interior space is very large. The main control panel is on a high platform in the center, surrounded by many floors.
The top floors are laid out the same as the city gate tower. Once inside, you can also perform sacrifices, summon Taoist soldiers, and so on.
The lower levels are all derived from the various buildings within the inner city.
The hull outside the main cabins is formed from the outer city – many of the other cabins are buildings from the outer city.
In addition, the mirror that used to hang high above the inner city gate is now suspended inside the main cabin.
When the couple needs to use it, it can unfold inwards or flip outwards, entirely at their discretion.
·
The ninth-class shuttle-shaped warship sped past, its speed so fast that even its afterimage could not be caught.
Only a very small number of cultivators who are not engrossed in cultivation or busy with their own affairs can detect the rapid passage of a flying artifact of the same level.
But the flying shuttle warships didn't stop, so it was naturally irrelevant to them. They sensed it, but didn't pay it any mind.
About half an hour later, the flying shuttle warship had already left the West River Region at high speed, passed through several large and small regions, and arrived at a desolate desert.
The location is an oasis in the desert.
Of course, it can no longer be called an oasis.
The once lush forest has now been destroyed, uprooted, and many parts are half-destroyed, with traces of unknown energy remaining on them. Some parts are charred black, others are frozen solid, and they are no longer recognizable.
On the right side of these trees, there is a stone city, with a small section of buildings visible.
The size of Stone City itself is unknown, but the exposed buildings resemble fortresses.
Several layers of protective shields were flashing on top of the fortress.
Yes, it's blinking.
Normally, if the protective shield is still intact, it will at most have flowing light and ripples on it. But once the light starts to flicker, it means that it is about to break through.
Below the protective shield, in front of the stone fortress, Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing were looking up, each holding a weapon and wearing level eight defensive gear.
Even if this protective shield is breached, their heightened vigilance should allow them to hold out for a while longer.
The situation isn't too dire yet... right?
·
After witnessing this scene, Zhong Cai's gaze fell on the direction from which the protective shield was being continuously bombarded.
There, a small boat flies.
The front of the airship was constantly spewing out energy that looked like a beam of light, sometimes ice, sometimes fire, and sometimes a mixture of both.
However, it seems that the mixed attributes need to be developed. It usually takes more than ten individual ice and fire attributes before a mixed attribute appears.
The destructive power of this mixed attribute is ten times that of a single ice or fire attribute.
In the center of the flying boat, a middle-aged cultivator with a short beard stood with his hands behind his back.
He had a rather honest and simple appearance, and seemed like a kind and honest person, but his eyes gleamed with a shrewdness that revealed a hint of cunning.
This is hypocrisy.
Zhong Cai stroked his chin and suddenly realized that this person might have been pretending to deceive his cheap nephew.
The "protagonist" always encounters people like this.
Perhaps at first this person just thought the "protagonist" was interesting and traveled with him for a while. However, later they encountered a treasure that even he coveted, but since he only recognized the "protagonist," he tore off his mask and revealed his true colors.
Thinking of this, Zhong Cai looked at it for a while longer.
Each layer of the protective shield is a different color, and there are three layers in total... Before this, several layers must have been damaged, right?
It might have originally been five or seven stories?
Just as Zhong Cai was thinking this, a muffled "thud" came from ahead.
The sound came from the outer protective shield, and with that sound, the shield suddenly shattered.
The remaining two layers flashed with light even faster!
Zhong Cai raised her eyebrows as she watched this scene.
Ah, my cheap nephew is getting a little anxious now.
·
Wu Dongxiao is indeed a bit anxious now.
He has been sending messages to his two uncles for almost an hour, but there has been no sign of them yet... Could it be that they didn't receive them?
That's impossible! The message he sent was of a very high level!
Or perhaps the message has arrived, but the two uncles are still on their way?
That can't be... With the means of transportation those two uncles have, they definitely won't be late.
Or perhaps, the two uncles weren't in a hurry at all...
Or perhaps his two uncles have already arrived and are watching his performance.
Wu Dongxiao was silent for a moment.
I always felt that the last possibility was the most likely.
Wu Dongxiao's anxious expression paused, and he began to look around.
Xuan Bing didn't think that much about it. He was just preparing himself mentally for how to resist Nirvana once the protective shield was broken.
That was someone at the peak of Nirvana!
