Chapter 585 Spatial Crack
Zhong Cai noticed a conflicted gaze directed at her from behind and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
That brat is pretty perceptive!
Is this the "protagonist's" "sixth sense"?
Zhong Cai felt a bit amused, so she quietly nudged Wu Shaogan's waist.
Wu Shaogan raised his hand, pinched the mischievous finger, and squeezed it.
Zhong Cai chuckled and secretly conveyed his previous thoughts and his cheap nephew's reaction via telepathy.
Wu Shaogan nodded slightly.
Listen to A-Cai.
Zhong Cai was in a good mood when she blurted out something without thinking—
Huh? What do you want me to say?
Then he instantly realized!
Ah! I get it!
—Old Wu meant that later, just like he wanted, they should throw that kid out to test the waters!
Zhong Cai scratched her face.
Actually, he wasn't guilty at all.
—Back at the rear, Wu Dongxiao's "ominous premonition" grew even stronger.
·
The warship was already moving very slowly in that extremely quiet space.
When they reached a certain point, Wu Shaogan suddenly stopped the boat.
Wu Dongxiao and the others did not ask any further questions, waiting only for the next reaction from the Zhong-Wu couple.
Zhong Cai glanced at Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly and said, "Something seems off up ahead."
Zhong Cai nodded to indicate that she understood, and said, "Wait a moment, I'll get some medicine. I just had a bit of inspiration earlier."
Wu Dongxiao's alchemy skills were also quite good; he seemed thoughtful upon hearing this.
Xuan Bing didn't say much.
Wu Chan and Feng Yan were both a little puzzled, but since they were guests, they followed the host's lead and remained quiet.
Zhong Cai took out a pill furnace and sat down on the spot.
As the fire blazed fiercely, many medicinal herbs suddenly floated over and hovered around Zhong Cai.
Wu Chan and the others turned around and looked.
The medicinal herbs flew out of a cabin—actually, they flew out of the resource hall in the original layout of the ancient city.
Zhong Cai then opened the furnace lid and guided the medicinal herbs into it one by one.
Before long, a hissing sound came from the alchemy furnace.
And just like that, it was refined.
·
Perhaps because the lingering effects of her previous insights had not yet dissipated, Zhong Cai, despite having only just figured out a way to prepare the medicinal liquid, made no mistakes whatsoever and proceeded very smoothly from beginning to end.
It's unclear what kind of medicinal liquid he was refining, but it took far less time than refining pills.
Even so, it still takes some effort.
Wu Dongxiao had somehow gotten up and was squatting near the alchemy furnace, watching with his chin in his hand.
Xuan Bing sat cross-legged on the other side, digesting what he had just learned.
Wu Chan and Feng Yan looked around and, realizing they couldn't understand what Zhong Cai was refining, eventually sat down on opposite sides.
Finally, Zhong Cai opened her eyes and opened the stove lid.
Hot air erupted from it, and a strange medicinal fragrance filled the air.
Zhong took out a wide-mouthed bottle, uncorked it, and aimed it at the furnace.
He quickly made a few hand gestures and then shook the bottle.
The next instant, the medicinal liquid that had been refined in the furnace turned into a stream and spewed out of the furnace, directly into the open bottle.
The bottle is transparent, but even after the medicine is poured into it, the inside remains transparent, as if nothing has gone in at all, still appearing...empty.
That is certainly not the case.
Zhong Cai shook the bottle, and strange, shimmering light suddenly appeared within it. It looked somewhat blurry, yet it instilled a sense of dread in those who were aroused by it.
This new medicine is truly quite special.
Wu Shaogan immediately sensed the spatial energy contained within. Although it was very weak, it was also very stable, unlike the violent and chaotic spatial storm. This stable energy carried an imperceptible sense of separation, which was quite remarkable.
However, this thing doesn't seem to cure anything.
After a moment's thought, Wu Shaogan, with his tacit understanding with Zhong Cai and his grasp of space, suddenly understood the purpose of the medicine and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai chuckled and said, "Old Wu, you know already!"
Wu Shaogan nodded: "I understand. Acai, be careful and don't stray too far from the warship's range."
Zhong Cai replied briskly, "Don't worry, Lao Wu! I value my life very much!"
Wu Shaogan smiled and was relieved.
The other young cultivators had been secretly watching from behind ever since Zhong Cai finished preparing the medicinal liquid, and naturally they all overheard the couple's brief conversation. However, they lacked any tacit understanding and thus didn't understand what was going on...
Wu Dongxiao asked curiously, "Uncle Zhong, what are you planning to do with this?"
As soon as he spoke, Wu Dongxiao, for some reason, suddenly had a few guesses in his mind, unlike the other three who were confused - after all, Wu Dongxiao himself also had a lot of knowledge about spatial energy.
Zhong Cai smiled mysteriously at him.
Wu Dongxiao: "..."
Never mind, he won't ask anymore.
Everyone looked at Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai raised his hand and suddenly poured the contents of the open bottle into the quiet space not far in front of the warship!
The medicinal liquid transformed into countless water droplets, resembling a misty drizzle, which were then splashed and spread in all directions.
It was at this moment that the tranquil space seemed to suddenly absorb the "drizzle" of medicinal liquid, or as if it had been washed by the liquid, and a strange change suddenly occurred.
In that tranquil space, countless tiny cracks in the space were revealed!
·
Spatial fissures are also called spatial cracks. They are called that because each of these fissures is at most as thin as a hair, and they vary in length. The longest is only a little over a foot long, and the shortest is less than an inch long.
At first glance, the space in front of me looked like a huge curtain, with so many tiny gaps cut out by something.
What's frightening is that there are many slits, and they are located in very different places.
In some places, many narrow gaps are densely packed together, while in other places they are spread out so wide that many people or even flying artifacts can pass through the distance between them!
Those narrow cracks also contain a lot of spatial energy, but because of the existence of these cracks, spatial energy cannot gather and form spatial storms. Moreover, these cracks are very stable, and if there is no external interference, they may even be so narrow that they cannot be seen.
However, after Zhong Cai splashed out those medicinal liquids, the energy from the severing them disturbed those crevices, which made the entire "sky curtain" no longer "quiet" and revealed their true traces.
Don't be fooled by their inconspicuous and tiny appearance, which may seem harmless. If you dare to approach those crevices, you will definitely get caught in them. Of course, whether you can be killed depends on the cultivation level of the cultivator who offends them. Even if you are a powerful cultivator with a high cultivation level, you will most likely survive, but whether you will be injured and how severe the injury will be is unpredictable. If there is one of them that is particularly troublesome, you will be badly injured even if you don't die.
However, there is still one problem.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan both felt that there should be rare and precious treasures here, but where exactly are they?
Could it be in some narrow crevice in space?
But I still can't get in!
If they can't get in, it's best to let them out, and the method should ideally be gentle...
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan exchanged a glance.
The next moment, the couple started working together.
Wu Shaogan took out a defensive item that resembled a precious garment and threw it onto Wu Dongxiao.
Wu Dongxiao was taken aback.
ah?
Although he hadn't fully reacted yet, his heart started racing instinctively!
Xuan Bing was also stunned for a moment, his foot unconsciously took a step forward, and then stopped.
Zhong Cai revealed a meaningful smile, and in just a moment, grabbed Wu Dongxiao by the collar.
If Wu Dongxiao were to insist on struggling at this moment, he could certainly stop Zhong Cai despite being several levels above him, given his combat strength. However, he suddenly seemed to understand something and became dejected, offering no resistance...
Xuan Bing's lips twitched.
Zhong Cai casually tossed Wu Dongxiao out.
That's right, throw it out.
He threw it directly into that quiet space filled with tiny cracks!
Let the "protagonist" fry fish!
The fish will naturally follow the main character out.
Zhong Cai dared to say that if he and Lao Wu were to search for the treasure together, they would probably be completely lost, trying countless routes without figuring out where the treasure was.
Before anyone knew it, Wu Shaogan had the mirror in his hand again.
The scene above was also taken in by Zhong Cai.
This couple had actually been secretly scouting the treasure hunt route for a while, but unfortunately...
Now, several points of light are flashing wildly on this mirror, darting around all over the mirror!
The speed at which it flashed was dazzling, clearly telling all those who came to search for treasure that every crevice was its home, and it could live wherever it wanted. There was no way it could catch it!
·
At this moment, Wu Dongxiao was already rolling among those countless crevices.
