Chapter 96 Acai was appeased
Almost instinctively, You Xiang pressed on, "What's your nephew's name?"
Qian Xi thought for a moment and then smiled, "You've come to the right person!"
You Xiang looked over nervously.
Qian Xi didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "His name is Wu Dongxiao. He's really lucky; he actually became Senior Brother Xuanbing's junior brother! Speaking of which, although Senior Brother Wu Shaogan has made a name for himself as a new disciple, Senior Brother Xuanbing is a very famous disciple who ranks on both the top two lists! Junior Brother Wu Dongxiao has close relationships with both of them, which is why he receives a lot of attention, and the news spreads quickly..."
You Xiang closed his eyes, and his heart sank.
·
It's definitely true!
Even if You Xiang couldn't believe it, it was true.
It's unbelievable! He tried so hard to escape, analyzed everything so carefully, thinking he could avoid the plot, but instead he ended up bringing himself right to the protagonist's side.
If there's only one main character, and since the main character is still young and the plot hasn't even started yet, he can just stay out of the way, not show his face or cause trouble, and honestly be an ordinary outer disciple, and he should be able to get by.
Anyway, since the Azure Dragon Academy is of a high level, even if the protagonist causes some great upheaval, the academy can handle it and won't be easily implicated.
...As if it were a joke, Jingzun was actually there too!
The protagonist is at least a normal person!
If you can't avoid it but don't provoke it, it's still very likely that you can live in peace.
But for someone like Jingzun, who's unpredictable and moody, it all depends on his mood.
The Mirror Lord is unreasonable.
In his world, there is only what he wants to do, not what he can do.
and……
Whenever the Mirror God appears, someone is bound to die.
When there are few people, people die in a targeted manner and their deaths are inevitably gruesome; when there are many people, everyone dies, and their deaths are often very gruesome.
There's no such thing as a bloodbath!
Looking at those seven or eight hundred chapters, the number of people who died because of the protagonist is still less than the number of people that Mirror Venerable killed with his own hands!
Even among those who died because of the protagonist, some were the ones who chased after him—then the protagonist was on the verge of death, the Mirror Lord appeared, casually saved him, looted everything, and killed everyone.
Another part involves lurking among the protagonists, with the Mirror Lord plundering forces, rescuing the protagonists, and eliminating the forces in the process.
Another group consists of people who have something that the Mirror Lord needs, and the Mirror Lord will come to their door with a smile. Sometimes the Mirror Lord will trade with people and release them, and sometimes he will directly rob and slaughter them.
In the protagonist's numerous trials and tribulations, at least 20% of the solutions are related to the Mirror Lord—often the plot is brief but bloody.
Another 50% are related to his harem—most of the plots are convoluted but the battles are won without bloodshed.
Another 30% are other situations—whether the protagonist lives or dies depends entirely on them, which is a pretty satisfying highlight for the protagonist.
·
Every time Mirror Lord appears, his strength is always overwhelming, surpassing everyone present.
Since he has completely crushed them, everyone has to listen to him and follow his rules.
So even though Jingzun's screen time is actually very limited, his presence is very strong.
Because the Mirror Master's prestige once surpassed that of the protagonist, it even caused a riot among readers.
In other words, the novel wasn't originally a pure wish-fulfillment story, and the author guaranteed that the protagonist would be the most awesome in the end, which barely appeased the readers' emotions.
·
You Xiang was really scared and tried hard to clear her mind, but she couldn't.
He remembered a rule that forbade anyone from harboring ill will towards the Mirror Lord, not even in the thought.
But little did he know that fear could be considered malicious.
Considering Jingzun's ability to cause trouble in the story, could it be considered malicious?
How accurate is that mirror? Could there be some bug that could cause him to be wrongly accused?
...He swam to the shore, thinking his plan was very thorough, but he was actually a very unlucky guy.
·
Before Qian Xi could say more than a few words, he noticed that You Xiang's face had turned pale again.
I don't quite understand.
Could it be that Junior Brother You offended Senior Brother Xuan in the past and was frightened?
Junior Brother Keyou shouldn't have met Senior Brother Xuan.
Qian Xi shook his head and patted You Xiang's shoulder reassuringly.
You Xiang suddenly shuddered.
Qian Xi: "...Junior Brother You, are you really alright? Or should we stop talking about this?"
You Xiang immediately said, "No, I'm just still feeling the aftereffects of being shocked by the Hidden Dragon Ranking. I'm fine."
Qian Xi tentatively asked, "Then?"
You Xiang let out a breath and said softly, "Brother Qian, you know me, I'm most interested in these kinds of things!"
Qian Xi nodded and smiled: "That's true. Okay, is there anything else you want to know? Ask away!"
You Xiangqiang, driven by curiosity, asked, "Brother Qian, please tell me more about this uncle and nephew."
As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of hot tea and drank it down.
The hot sensation churned in his stomach, slightly calming his emotions.
·
Qian Xi's interest was rekindled, and he said enthusiastically, "Let's talk about Senior Brother Wu first."
“I heard that the battle between Senior Brother Wu and Senior Brother Lü, who was originally ranked eighth on the Hidden Dragon List, was recorded. I’m thinking of finding a way to make a copy as well.”
You Xiang immediately said, "Brother Qian, don't forget me, I want a share too."
Qian Xi rubbed his fingers together.
You Xiang readily agreed: "There will be no shortage of Xuanzhu."
Qian Xi assured him, "You'll definitely get a share, don't worry." He added, "Their cultivation level is the same as ours, so we'll benefit greatly from watching. I heard the recording revealed some incredibly powerful secret techniques; Senior Brother Lü has a long dragon of sword energy, and Senior Brother Wu's archery skills are also..."
You Xiang was in a daze and uttered an "Oh".
·
At this moment, You Xiang's mind suddenly became clear again.
If it were the Mirror Venerable, he would have already reached the Fusion Realm when he appeared. However, this person who entered the Hidden Dragon Ranking is actually still at the Enlightenment Realm.
The Mirror Venerable has no Daoist partner, let alone bring his nephew.
So, is there a possibility...?
The plot took an unexpected turn. The protagonist's uncle was not crippled. Because of his outstanding talent and strength, he was recruited by the Azure Dragon Academy. The protagonist also seized the opportunity to come along, which led to his encounter with the protagonist and the boss.
If none of this had happened in the beginning, the protagonist's uncle would not have been Jingzun, but would still have been that upright and honest young master.
Young Master Shao is great! Young Master Shao is wonderful!
In this way, there would certainly be no situation where a woman is swapped with a man and placed in the young master's harem. The young master's Daoist partner is so skilled in alchemy, perhaps the two of them are simply in love.
Everything makes sense!
However, the plot completely fell apart.
As a transmigrator, You Xiang had the advantage of the plot, but he never intended to use the plot to cause trouble. He only wanted to use it to avoid danger. The more he knew, the better he could maneuver.
The protagonist's path is completely wrong now, so the plot can only serve as a reference at best.
You Xiang's feelings were complicated.
But whatever the case, it has come to this.
You Xiang decided to stay far away.
Avoid the main character, and also avoid the young master.
Although the young master seemed like a normal person, You Xiang felt that someone who would later turn out like that might not be so normal after all.
He must be crazy to even get involved.
Ideally, neither the protagonist nor the boss should ever meet him!
·
A few days later.
You Xiang watched the video in his room.
As soon as the scene on the battle platform was reflected on the wall, he collapsed.
Fortunately, he was lying in bed.
That Wu Shaogan, isn't he the super handsome guy he saw before the assessment?
He actually dared to stare at her and admire her!
No wonder, no wonder he felt she was dangerous inside after taking a liking to her at first sight. She was a very unique and beautiful woman who fit his taste!
Of course! If the Future Mirror Master isn't in danger, then who is?
He even admired the beauty of the future Mirror Venerable's Daoist partner and shipped them as a couple!
You Xiang's mind went completely blank again.
The recording continued to play...
Gradually, it came to an end.
The collision and explosion of the two long dragons brought back You Xiang's wandering soul.
You Xiang unconsciously looked at the projection.
Just then, they saw the extremely handsome young man emerge from the smoke, a smile on his face, amidst flying flesh and bones.
You Xiang: "..."
Is it really the young master of the young chastity, or not the Mirror Venerable?
Could it be that the Mirror Master knew about the Azure Dragon Academy's recruitment and came out of the mirror in advance, thus limiting his cultivation level to the Enlightenment stage?
There's no rule saying that Mirror Master can't fall in love...
You Xiang lay on the bed, upside down.
He's wearing a fake book!
·
Once again, You Xiang was completely disoriented, unaware that the "Mirror Lord," whom he feared and whose situation he couldn't understand at all, was also having a hard time.
He had completely forgotten the "spoiled young master" who had once cast an eager glance at him before the assessment.
·
Duobao Peak, a mountaintop residence.
Wu Shaogan stood quietly in front of the alchemy room, like a stiff stone.
It's been three days already.
A-Cai has been practicing alchemy all day and has never left the house.
Wu Shaogan sighed softly and knocked on the door.
There was no sound from inside.
Wu Shaogan said loudly, "A-Cai, I have drawn a new talisman for you."
There was still no movement.
Wu Shaogan sighed again.
·
After returning from the battle arena, Wu Shaogan was confined to the cultivation room to recover his profound energy.
Of course, since there were no top-grade level three pills to replenish his Xuan power, Wu Shaogan had no choice but to rely entirely on the Qi of heaven and earth to accumulate Xuan power.
As a result, the speed is naturally very slow.
It took two whole days.
During this time, Zhong Cai stayed by Wu Shaogan's side the whole time. Although she didn't speak or show any expression, her concern was obvious.
Wu Shaogan simply did his best.
result……
After Wu Shaogan recovered, Zhong Cai examined him and immediately went into the alchemy room.
I wonder what kind of elixir they're refining.
In the past, Wu Shaogan could always accompany him, and even when he needed to cultivate, he could stay in a place where he could see Zhong Cai at a glance.
This time, however, Wu Shaogan couldn't see anyone at all.
·
Wu Shaogan remained standing.
Suddenly, the door to the alchemy room opened.
Wu Shaogan immediately looked over.
Sure enough, it met his Ah Cai's face.
The moment Zhong Cai saw him, she seemed about to smile and opened her mouth as if to say something, but she quickly suppressed it in an instant.
Wu Shaogan reached out and took Zhong Cai's hand.
Zhong Cai looked down.
Wu Shaogan said softly, "A-Cai, don't be angry."
Zhong Cai glanced at him, opened her mouth again, but quickly shut up and said nothing.
Then, Zhong Cai nudged Wu Shaogan and pushed him to sit on the stone bench, while she herself squatted down on the edge of the cliff.
Wu Shaogan silently got up, walked over, and squatted down next to Zhong Cai.
"Ah Cai, don't be angry."
Zhong Cai didn't speak, but she also didn't push Wu Shaogan again.
Wu Shaogan remained in that position, staring intently at Zhong Cai without moving.
After a long while, Zhong Cai said quietly, "I'm not angry."
Wu Shaogan reached out to pull Zhong Cai close.
Zhong Cai pressed down on Wu Shaogan's hand.
Wu Shaogan looked at Zhong Cai with a quiet gaze.
Zhong Cai said, "But I'm not happy."
Wu Shaogan: "A-Cai, don't be upset."
Zhong Cai: "Don't you know why I'm unhappy?"
Wu Shaogan knew what was going on and immediately dared not utter a sound.
But in any case, it's good that A-Cai is finally willing to talk to him.
·
Zhong Cai had been holding it in for several days, and the turmoil in her heart was almost twisted into a pretzel.
Logically speaking, since everyone here is a cultivator of secret realms, Zhong Cai himself understands that it is normal to get injured during fights. In any case, a single pill can usually solve everything, so Lao Wu's injuries are not as serious as they appear.
Zhong Cai also understood that if he gained some insights during the fight and was able to come up with such a powerful move, even if it was broken, it was still worth it.
However, these are all rational thoughts.
Faced with his lover's tragic state, what rationality could he possibly have? He was controlled by his emotions!
Zhong Cai hasn't spoken to Wu Shaogan these past few days, partly because he doesn't want to talk to him, but there's also a very important reason—he doesn't want to accidentally say something unpleasant to Wu because of these emotions.
However, just now, after Zhong Cai finished refining a round of pills, her chaotic emotions were almost calmed down. As soon as she came out, she met Old Wu's gaze and almost habitually started talking to him about the pill refining process.
He held back.
Then there was that pitiful look on Old Wu's face...
Zhong Caicai finally spoke.
It wasn't that his mood had improved, but rather that he was almost about to speak, yet he had to hold back. Was this considered ignoring Old Wu? It was making things difficult for himself!
He wouldn't make things difficult for himself.
·
Although Zhong Cai still kept a straight face, her anger had obviously dissipated a lot, and she could no longer control the subtle changes in her expression.
Wu Shaogan observed quietly, then tentatively spoke again: "A-Cai?"
Zhong Cai looked over in a flash.
Wu Shaogan said without hesitation, "A-Cai, I was wrong."
Zhong Cai reflexively replied, "It's not wrong."
Wu Shaogan: "..."
Zhong Cai: "..."
Both of them fell silent for a moment.
Zhong Cai cleared her throat: "What did you do wrong? Reflect on your actions."
Wu Shaogan sincerely took Zhong Cai's hand.
Zhong Cai twitched her fingers.
Wu Shaogan maintained a very sincere expression and said earnestly, "My mistake was being too indulgent."
Zhong Cai hummed in agreement and then said, "Continue to reflect on your actions. Where did you indulge yourself?"
Wu Shaogan honestly said, "At the last moment, I knew that there was still a 30% chance that Senior Brother Lü would last longer than me after the explosion. I should have just admitted defeat, moved away from the area, and then tried to trigger the explosion again."
"That way, I won't get hurt, and A-Cai won't have to worry about me."
Zhong Cai took a deep breath and then exhaled a long breath.
Wu Shaogan leaned close to Zhong Cai and kissed him on the cheek.
"Ah Cai, I can't guarantee I'll never get hurt again, but I will never take such a risk with such a low chance of success again."
Zhong Cai looked up at the person she knew best and cared about most, and couldn't help but snort, "Ever since I started dating you, I've become so dramatic. If it were before, I would have just started a fight with you, instead of giving you the silent treatment!"
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly, his eyes filled with tenderness.
“It’s because A-Cai cares about me.”
Zhong Cai exclaimed, "I used to feel sorry for her too."
Wu Shaogan still smiled and said, "A-Cai feels even more sorry for me now."
Zhong Cai snorted again.
Wu Shaogan understood that this was how A Cai appeared after being appeased.
Zhong Cai unconsciously moved closer to Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan reached out and pulled Zhong Cai into his arms.
Zhong Cai couldn't hold him back this time.
The two of them pressed themselves together intimately, both sighing involuntarily.
Not being intimate for several days was actually a bit of torture for both of them.
Wu Shaogan was constantly tormented.
When Zhong Cai was full of anger a couple of days ago, she was fine, but as her anger gradually subsided, the feeling of discomfort began to rise.
Wu Shaogan suddenly said, "A Cai, if you want to fight me, I will suppress my strength to the Palace Opening Realm."
Zhong Cai rolled her eyes: "Are you stupid?"
Wu Shaogan rubbed his face against Zhong Cai's, feeling as if he had come back to life.
Zhong Cai rubbed against him a couple of times before saying, "When buddies fight, they can go all out. If I beat you up now, that would be domestic violence. Besides, what's your build and what's mine? Even if I punch you until your fists are swollen, it won't hurt you!"
Wu Shaogan muttered under his breath, "We can use an iron rod..."
Zhong Cai's lips twitched slightly: "I'll break your legs with an iron rod, and then I'll be the one who feels the pain!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Shaogan couldn't help but laugh.
Zhong Cai felt a little annoyed, but in the end... she rolled her eyes again.
He knew he would never be able to get angry at Lao Wu.
In particular, Lao Wu seriously reflected on his actions!
·
As the two sat there, Wu Shaogan ended up holding Zhong Cai, and together they looked at the scenery outside the cliff.
They hadn't spoken for several days, and they were both really pent up.
The mountain breeze tousled their long hair, which tangled together and drifted about.
Wu Shaogan asked softly, "A-Cai, what kind of pills have you been refining these past few days?"
Zhong Cai said, "The Body Cleansing Pill."
Wu Shaogan understood: "It's a pill to cleanse impurities?"
Zhong Cai nodded: "My master asked me to refine more level-two pills, so I picked this one first. I've seen the pill formula; there's also a level-three pill called the Body Cleansing Pill, and its refining method is the same as that of the level-two Body Cleansing Pill."
"If I refine the level two pills, I'll be able to learn them faster when I refine level three pills."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly: "Ah Cai did it all for me."
Zhong Cai snorted: "You know that's good."
The two leaned even closer together, eager to make up for the sense of security they had lost over the past few days.
Zhong Cai suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Lao Wu, shouldn't we tell our parents about our results?"
Wu Shaogan understood: "Tell Master Jiang and Master Sang?"
Zhong Cai nodded: "We've already completed the tasks assigned by our two masters, so we have to hand in our homework."
Wu Shaogan smiled, took out a mustard seed bag, and placed it in Zhong Cai's hand.
Zhong Cai: "What is this?"
Wu Shaogan replied, "When you were refining pills, several of my senior uncles sent their disciples to deliver them to celebrate my ranking achievement."
Zhong Cai suddenly realized, "That's right, you've made Master Jiang proud. But why were the other uncles sent by them? Where is Master Jiang?"
Wu Shaogan said, "Master Jiang has gone out to gain experience."
Zhong Cai didn't think much of it and just said, "He's quite active."
Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "Master Sang has also gone out."
Zhong Cai was taken aback: "How did you know?"
Wu Shaogan said, "The Mei family mountain range also sent someone over to give us congratulatory gifts."
Next, he took out a mustard seed bag.
Zhong Cai counted the contents of the two mustard seed bags.
The one from Master Jiang's faction is a full ten million Xuanzhu.
The items from the Meijia Mountain Range are a large quantity of Grade III rare medicinal herbs, with a total value of considerable.
Zhong Cai laughed: "It seems that if we achieve more results, we will receive a lot of good things."
Wu Shaogan also laughed and said, "Then A-Cai will have to work harder in the future."
Zhong Cai glanced at him sideways.
Wu Shaogan said, "I will work even harder."
Zhong Cai withdrew her gaze: "While Master Sang is away, I'll continue refining pills. After I've produced three or four kinds, I'll go for the assessment. When Master Sang returns, I'll personally go and report the results."
Wu Shaogan agreed, "Master Sang will be happy."
Zhong Cai said, "You can think more about that secret technique of yours, and ask Master Jiang about it later."
Wu Shaogan naturally understood this principle, but A Cai's concern made his smile even deeper.
"Is A-Cai coming with me too?"
Zhong Cai readily agreed.
The two continued chatting.
"I think it's a bit strange that both Master Sang and Master Jiang are absent at the same time."
"That is indeed strange."
"But then I thought about it and realized they might have gone out together."
"That's certainly possible."
"Master Sang probably wants some level-eight rare medicine, which is why he dragged Master Jiang along..."
"Master Jiang would probably be willing too."
The two of them are currently in a more relaxed state of mind.
Both masters made demands regarding the two individuals' cultivation.
They exceeded their targets.
Moreover, Wu Shaogan has basically no room for improvement, while Zhong Cai has suddenly risen to the top of the list, and even if she improves further, she will still be at the top.
But neither of them needs to attend classes separately anymore.
Zhong Cai said, "Now, calm down and practice what your two masters have given you."
Wu Shaogan said, "I'll first figure out the prototype of that secret technique."
Zhong Cai said, "I looked at the Daoist alchemy texts that Master Sang gave me and compared them with the lineage."
Both of them nodded, confirming the cultivation plan.
Then, Zhong Cai suddenly jumped out of Wu Shaogan's arms and said cheerfully, "But now, let's go to the Trading Hall!"
Wu Shaogan turned his head to look at him.
Zhong Cai said, "I need to buy several dozen level-three healing pills and several dozen level-three pills to replenish my Xuan energy."
Wu Shaogan's expression was gentle.
Zhong Cai was very frank: "I'm not strong enough right now, but luckily I'm quite rich. We're better off being prepared."
Wu Shaogan couldn't resist and leaned in to kiss Zhong Cai on the lips.
Zhong Cai bit his lip.
Wu Shaogan affectionately rubbed his nose against his.
Zhong Cai then let go.
All the chaotic thoughts that had been swirling in their minds over the past few days vanished at that moment.
·
The Trading Hall has a lot of top-grade level 3 pills, but there are also many people who want them.
Therefore, it's not something you can just buy whenever you want; there are also quantity restrictions.
Fortunately, both Zhong Cai's badge and Wu Shaogan's ranking earned them a lot of mission points.
These task points meet the standards.
Level 2 alchemists can purchase level 3 top-grade pills, and disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking are also qualified to accumulate more top-grade pills of the same level as them.
After pooling their money, the two bought five level-three healing pills and ten level-three energy-replenishing pills.
All of them are top-quality, and the prices are quite high.
But for these two whales who frequently spend hundreds of thousands of Xuanzhu in the pool, this amount of money spent on pills is really nothing.
After careful consideration, Zhong Cai decided to buy some more high-quality resources for the Enlightenment Realm to prepare for his old man, Wu.
Learn from your mistakes; don't think that just because you're in the college, you don't need to be so careful about everything.
If something needs to be considered carefully, then it must be considered carefully!
Wu Shaogan stayed by Zhong Cai's side the whole time, obeying her every word and letting Zhong Cai make all the decisions.
·
Both of them have already gained considerable fame.
In particular, Wu Shaogan's video was widely circulated, and his face became memorable. Similarly, after Zhong Cai's news was learned, he became familiar to countless inner court disciples.
Therefore, when the two appeared in the Trading Hall a few days later, they also attracted the attention of many disciples.
This is all normal.
It's not just the two of them who are like this; all disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and alchemists with badges are the objects of attention.
The two didn't mind and soon left hand in hand.
All that remained were the gazes of those behind him.
·
After completing their purchases, the two stayed at Duobao Peak.
The two were in different rooms, one in the alchemy room and the other in the cultivation room, but they were able to see each other.
Zhong Cai was surrounded by piles of all kinds of medicinal herbs.
In his hand, he held a jade tablet, and was immersing his mind in it.
Inside the jade tablet were the alchemical texts that Master Sang had inscribed for him, containing a wealth of alchemical knowledge.
Zhong Cai read through the materials little by little, comparing them with her own heritage.
Several installments in a row have been released, and about 80% of the content is similar.
Zhong Cai sighed inwardly, realizing that the heritage the altar had brought him was indeed quite ancient and rich.
But at the same time, he also discovered that half of the dissimilar 20% that Master Sang gave him was superior to his own inheritance.
Indeed, this great legacy is not unique to Zhong Cai.
·
If Zhong Cai initially chose alchemy, it was mainly for making money and for spending money on gacha pulls.
As time went by, and Zhong Cai's alchemy skills improved, he seemed to have gained enlightenment, digesting all the inherited knowledge and understanding each alchemical formula faster and faster... Under this virtuous cycle, Zhong Cai's interest in alchemy also grew stronger.
In particular, Zhong Cai learned from the tradition that not all alchemists could be like him.
He is able to do this because his talent for alchemy is being continuously developed.
Therefore, when he starts trying level three pills, his pill-making skills should not decline.
As long as he works diligently in alchemy, he will surely receive the corresponding badge when he refines level three pills in the future!
·
Zhong Cai slowly flipped through the pages.
When he made a profit, he would often dance with joy and occasionally pick out some rare herbs to process.
He also tried out many of the theoretical concepts.
If any materials are lacking during this period, Zhong Cai will summon a puppet and take its command seal to the trading hall to purchase them.
Then, Zhong Cai immersed herself completely in it.
He integrated and mastered even more of his insights into alchemy.
·
A little further away, Wu Shaogan was surrounded by a powerful defensive formation.
Wu Shaogan extended his palm and flipped it downwards.
A crimson light was brewing in the palm of his hand.
However, the light was not very bright, and it did not cause any injury to Wu Shaogan.
Although, on the battle stage, Wu Shaogan strangely shed a lot of blood, which is why the bloody dragon was created.
But now, Wu Shaogan doesn't want Acai to worry about him anymore, so he's carefully considering how to improve things.
— Lu Yezhou doesn't need to bleed when he releases the dragon of sword energy, so why should he have to?
Acai would definitely think that way.
Wu Shaogan stared intently at the ball of blood-red light, sensing the changes in power within it.
The blood-red light was propelled by his profound energy; each tremor represented a change in certain rhythms within it…
It's quite difficult to completely abandon "blood sacrifice".
Wu Shaogan is not afraid of difficulties.
After all, a secret technique is flawed if it can only be performed through self-harm.
He wants to make up for these shortcomings.
You might not have any ideas for a day or two, but that's okay.
Then let's think about it for a few more days.
·
As Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan began to live a secluded life, the turmoil they caused gradually subsided.
Whether they are disciples of the inner or outer court, their primary focus is still cultivation. They have already learned what they needed to learn through video recordings. With their comprehension, they have seen most of what they can see and what is useful to them.
Everyone should focus on their own lives.
There are countless courses available for them to choose from, allowing them to continuously improve.
·
Before we knew it, more than twenty days had passed.
Zhong Cai's alchemy skills improved once again.
This progress wasn't simply about how many top-grade pills he produced per batch, but rather the reduction in the time it took him to learn how to make each new type of pill.
Moreover, the time required for refining top-grade pills has been shortened.
Perhaps it was a burst of inspiration; during the time Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan spent refining pills after their cold war, he had already refined a top-grade pill—that's why he was so excited and almost couldn't help but want to share it.
Now he is studying diligently, practicing while reading alchemical texts, and has learned to make five more level-two elixirs.
Moreover, they all produced top-grade pills.
Even though the yield rate is only 50% to 60%, once a pill is produced, on average, one top-grade pill can be obtained every two or three batches!
Such an exaggerated result is even better than when Zhong Cai was refining first-grade pills.
Zhong Cai thought that it was probably largely related to the fact that his cultivation level was the same as the grade of the pills he refined.
Anyway, it's been an improvement.
Zhong Cai honed her skills once again.
Two or three more days passed.
This time, he took turns making all the pills, achieving a 70% success rate, and each batch contained top-grade pills!
Zhong Cai was somewhat shocked.
After calculating his results, he couldn't help but spread out his hands and look at them.
That was so... satisfying.
·
On the other side, the ball of blood-red light beneath Wu Shaogan's palm gradually became crystal clear and began to change shape.
This doesn't mean that Wu Shaogan has developed a new secret technique, but rather that he has straightened out the rhythm within it and has found a direction for change.
Seven or eight days later, the form of the blood-red light was finalized.
It was a small, blood-red dragon, but it had completely lost the eeriness it had on the battle stage. Instead, it seemed to have eliminated many strange auras, and its energy appeared to be very pure.
In addition, the little dragon's eyes were closed.
When Wu Shaogan integrates his archery skills with the dragon's eyes, the dragon's eyes will open.
At that time, this secret technique will become a new prototype, waiting to be filled in later...
Wu Shaogan devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work.
About twenty days later, when he drew his bow and shot arrows, he no longer needed to cut his wrists. The countless arrows he condensed with his Xuan power gradually formed a long dragon.
It was still a long, blood-red dragon.
But the blood color is simply the color of blood, without any impurities.
It seems that all that's left is aesthetic appeal.
·
The two of them were completely focused on improving themselves.
Soon, they all made great progress.
Wu Shaogan accompanied Zhong Cai to the Canglong Dan Pavilion once again.
Zhong Cai took the assessment again.
This time, he added six new level-two pills as tests and successfully captured six stars.
Zhong Cai can now refine thirteen kinds of second-grade top-quality pills!
Such a result, compared to the previous one, can be considered quite quiet.
After all, the rankings haven't changed.
Only the numbers in the line below the name have changed subtly.
In such a short time, it would be difficult to notice unless someone deliberately observes it.
·
After the assessment, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan rested for a day.
The next day, the two took their disciple tokens, left the academy, and entered Canglong City.
They quickly contacted Xiang Lin.
With the help of the people in Jade Dragon City, the puppet Wu Yi, carrying enough Xuan Pearls, bought a residence with a shop front and a small courtyard in the back on a street of moderate size in the city.
Xiang Lin and the others had already moved in.
However, since they had not yet found a suitable way to make a living, they all focused on their cultivation.
After the two came out, Xiang Lin and the others naturally came to greet them.
This also includes Xia Jiang.
·
Upon seeing the two, Xiang Lin bowed and said, "Congratulations, young master, congratulations, alchemist Zhong."
Xiang Lin, who was usually serious, now showed a joyful smile.
·
The achievements of Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan had already reached Canglong City.
Moreover, a few days ago, Wu Dongxiao, accompanied by Xuan Bing, went out to meet Xia Jiang.
Seeing that Xia Jiang was with Xiang Lin and the others, the two brothers did not ask him to move out, but left some resources for Xia Jiang and Xiang Lin to look after each other.
Xiang Lin and the others shared the same plan.
Therefore, it was only natural that Xia Jiang would pass on any news he received to Xiang Lin and the others.
