Chu Chu naturally wouldn't refuse the guidance of a cultivator who had reached the Master Stage of the saber technique. Although it was improved by a cheat, Song Shuhang's saber technique had indeed reached the Master Stage!
Thereupon, Song Shuhang started to teach Chu Chu the basics of saber techniques. [Si]
The method he used was the same as what the young man in green clothes taught him in Venerable White's illusory reality.
It was simple and crude. He first explained the various saber techniques to Chu Chu, then picked up the treasured saber Broken Tyrant and let Chu Chu experience the charm of saber techniques with her body.
The only flaw was that Chu Chu didn't bring a saber with her this time. She could only use her sword to execute the moves of the saber, which was very awkward.
However, Chu Chu had a strong comprehension ability and could often draw inferences from one instance.
She was a true genius. Whether it was the saber or the sword, she didn't care about the form.
The first day in the 'Lower City'... Song Shuhang and Chu Chu spent it practicing.
At night, the two of them sat in meditation and practiced separately.
Both of them had enough fasting pills with them, so they didn't need to worry about food.
* * * * *
On the second day in the Lower City.
Song Shuhang and Chu Chu tried to leave the hall and continue along the passage of the Lower City.
Half an hour later, they found a new hall.
In this hall, there were more than thirty huge copper basins. Below the copper basins were pieces of black crystals.
These copper basins were used by cultivators to take medicinal baths. Nearby, there were also various weapons such as sabers, spears, rods, and so on.
This was like sending charcoal in snowy weather. Song Shuhang lacked a copper basin to take a medicinal bath, and Chu Chu lacked a suitable saber.
Thereupon, Song Shuhang happily decided to take a medicinal bath.
The black crystals below the copper basin were firewood that could be ignited with a small spark.
After pouring the medicinal ingredients into the copper basin, Song Shuhang filled it with water.
While soaking in the medicinal liquid, Song Shuhang let out a comfortable sigh.
Unfortunately, the effect of the medicinal bath wasn't as good as when he was in Miss Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue's golden coffin. When he was in Miss Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue's golden coffin, the effect of the medicinal bath increased his constitution by 0.1 every three minutes.
But now... It only increased by 0.1 every ten minutes. After two hours, it only increased by 1.2.
It was better than nothing.
In any case, two medicinal baths a day could increase his physique by 2.4 points.
…
…
The other side. Miss Chu Chu went to choose a suitable saber and practiced the basic saber technique.
After she was done with her saber practice, she pulled open the curtain of a copper tub not far from Song Shuhang and filled the tub with clean water.
After entering the medicine pot. She looked down at the area below her neck.
Last time, after she was killed while hugging a girl in her arms, she was fortunate enough to receive the help of that divine doctor, Song Shuhang, and her injuries had already recovered.
However, his chest did not return to its original curve, and he did not know if there would be a chance for it to recover in the future.
Even if it could be restored to its previous curvature, would its elasticity be affected?
After all, this was a woman's second face. She couldn't afford to be careless.
* * * * *
The third day in the Dungeon.
When Miss Chu Chu woke up, she suddenly sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
Then, she entered the mode of breaking through a small realm.
Song Shuhang watched as she began to break through to the next level. Therefore, he took the initiative to protect her.
Protecting her wasn't just to prevent her from being affected by the outside world. More importantly, he could help her if something unexpected happened while she was breaking through to the next level. Perhaps he could feed her a medicinal pill that allowed her to erupt her true qi, or prevent her from going berserk at a critical moment.
Two hours later.
Chu Chu opened her eyes. She had successfully opened the fifth dantian of the Second Stage, the Dragon Palm Dantian!
Behind her, most of the body of a true dragon had already condensed. Now, only the head and the neck were left.
"Huff." Chu Chu exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
This time, her realm increased much faster than before. Moreover, it felt as if the conditions were right.
After all, not too long ago, she was almost crushed to death. She had gained a lot from that.
She also gained a lot from following Song Shuhang for the past few days, experiencing the pressure of the Mount Tai Sealing Technique, practicing in Venerable Septuagint's gravity chamber, the grave of Venerable Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, and now, the Dungeon of the Time City. These were fortuitous encounters that she rarely experienced even once in a few years. But during the past few days, she had experienced them almost once a day.
Therefore, it wasn't surprising that her realm increased so quickly.
…
… …
After Chu Chu successfully broke through, Song Shuhang started to practice.
Now, he could already dye his palms with the color of steel when he operated the (Steel Hands Technique). It felt as if he was wearing a pair of iron gloves.
Practicing the (Steel Hands Technique) could also increase the strength of Song Shuhang's constitution. Today, he had successfully increased the strength of his constitution to 250 points. Therefore, he was ready to break through to the third dantian of the Second Stage, the Dragon Claw Dantian!
However, he wasn't in a hurry today.
Song Shuhang planned to spend the whole day nourishing the true qi in his dantian and adjusting his mental energy to its peak state.
"Tomorrow, I'll be breaking through!" Song Shuhang said in a soft voice.
* * * * *
The fourth day in the Dungeon.
Song Shuhang adjusted his condition to its peak and didn't forget to ask Chu Chu about the experience of breaking through the Dragon Claw Dantian.
The last time he tried to break through the Dragon Tail Dantian, he almost failed due to a lack of experience. Luckily, there was a senior that did good deeds without leaving his name. That senior gave him some pointers and guided him step by step while trying to break through.
Speaking of which, who was that Senior Lei Feng from back then?
None of the seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group said that they helped him in the past!
With Chu Chu's experience in breaking through, Song Shuhang started to break through the Dragon Claw Dantian. Chu Chu protected him from the side.
The Dragon Claw Dantian also had more than one checkpoint, and he had to break through it in batches.
Song Shuhang didn't feel that it was too difficult to break through a small realm. After all, he didn't have many things inside his body at the moment, but he had a lot of true qi. Now that he was in the second small realm of the Second Stage, the amount of true qi he had wasn't much weaker than that of ordinary cultivators of the fourth small realm of the Second Stage.
The checkpoints of the Dragon Claw Dantian were like mud walls, getting destroyed layer by layer under the power of Song Shuhang's true qi.
Half an hour or so later.
Song Shuhang had successfully broken through the Dragon Claw Dantian and entered the nurturing stage after opening the dantian!
In comparison, for some reason, Chu Chu felt a tightness in her chest …
* * * * *
Time flew by.
Twelve days passed by in a flash.
During these twelve days. Song Shuhang had already finished using the medicinal bath materials he had bought from Miss Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue.
His third dantian, the Dragon Claw Dantian, had also been thoroughly consolidated. With the third dantian sharing the burden of the true qi, Song Shuhang was no longer in danger of his body exploding.
Theoretically speaking, Song Shuhang should be able to chew on another spirit beast crystal. However, he was planning to increase the strength of his constitution a little more so that he wouldn't have to face another round of danger of his body exploding.
He had finally succeeded in practicing the 'Steel Hands Technique', the godly blacksmithing technique, and had entered the 'beginner' level.
As for Song Shuhang's constitution, it had increased to around 265 points. If his constitution were to continue improving... Perhaps he would be able to obtain the constitution of the Third Stage while still in the Second Stage Realm, just like Dharma King Creation.
The Third Stage Realm, the Battle King Realm. Compared to cultivators of the Second Stage, the true qi of cultivators of this realm had already liquefied, and the quality of their true qi had greatly increased.
Apart from that, the biggest characteristic of cultivators of the Third Stage was that they could ignite the 'liquefied true qi' inside their body and activate the 'Body of the Battle King', greatly increasing their fighting strength for a short period of time.
...
...
"Twelve days. Chu Chu was holding a sword in her left hand and a saber in her right. She was worthy of being called a talented cultivator. In just twelve days, she had already mastered the basics of saber techniques.
Perhaps in the future, Chu Chu would become a powerful cultivator proficient in both the sword and the saber.
Chu Chu was somewhat reluctant to leave. While she was practicing in the underground room of the Time City, her cultivation speed was five to six times faster than in the outside world. It was the same as taking precious medicinal pills to aid her cultivation at all times.
Therefore, she was somewhat reluctant to leave this place.
Not too far away from her, Song Shuhang was holding a big sword with both hands.
Song Shuhang's body soared high into the sky, and the strange sword emitted a blinding radiance.
At the same time, Song Shuhang said some strange words, "Holy light, that evil fellow seems worth fighting!"
Evil Slashing Holy Light Sword! ]
This sword technique was adapted from a Western sword technique. Although the power of a head-on clash wasn't bad... This sword technique was simply too shameful.
However, Song Shuhang had a lot of fun playing with it.
Sword technique! This was a sword technique we were talking about!
Although it was a two-handed big sword, it was still a sword, right?
He had finally mastered a sword technique, the Evil Slashing Holy Light Sword. It seemed to be quite powerful.
Chu Chu had once tried to exchange a move with him.
When facing the [Evil Slashing Holy Light Sword] head-on, Chu Chu had to unleash 21 strikes in one go (ordinary sword strikes) in order to block the [Evil Slashing Holy Light Sword].
Moreover, when Song Shuhang used this sword technique, the sword light would be imbued with holy flames. The attribute of the holy flames was very interesting. Although the damage wasn't high, it was very sticky.
Moreover, its appetite was also good. It could burn anything... mhm, it could burn anything!
...
...
Because it was already the last day of training in the 'underground room' of the Time City, Song Shuhang and Chu Chu didn't waste any time and trained until the wee hours of the morning.
"Now, we just have to wait for Lady Chu to bring us out." Song Shuhang held the big sword with both hands and had an exhausted look on his face.
Chu Chu, who was sitting cross-legged beside him and wearing a dress made from a curtain, glanced at the Time City behind them with a somewhat reluctant expression on her face.
What a good place! Wouldn't it be great if we could stay here and train for a few more days?
...
...
However, the two of them kept waiting. After waiting for a long time, Lady Chu, who was supposed to welcome them, didn't show up.
Chu Chu furrowed her brows and said, "What's going on? It's already the appointed time to leave the Time City."
Song Shuhang pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps... that Lady Chu fell asleep again? She seems to be in a somewhat strange state and seems very sleepy. Perhaps, she overslept. The passage of time here is different from the passage of time in the outside world. One day in the outside world is equivalent to twelve days in our world. If she sleeps for a few more hours, it would be equivalent to several days for us. "
A happy look appeared on Chu Chu's face. "In that case, why don't we go back and train for a few more days?"
Song Shuhang was somewhat worried about Li Yinzhu. However, without Lady Chu's help, they wouldn't be able to leave the Time City.
Left with no other choice, he agreed to Chu Chu's suggestion and went back to train.
The effects of training in the underground room of the Time City were pretty good.
* * * * *
After returning to the Time City, they continued to train.
Day after day passed...
Very soon, another twelve days passed. However, Pavilion Master Chu still didn't show up.
Song Shuhang started to wonder if Fairy Chu had forgotten about him.
Chu Chu happily trained every day. For her, being able to feel herself getting stronger and stronger every day was a very happy thing. She was a girl that could be easily satisfied.
Song Shuhang had already reached the Small Success Realm in his (Steel Hands Technique), and he had even finished practicing the entire version of the (Holy Light Sword Technique), reaching the 'Novice Level'.
Although he had already used up all the ingredients for the medicinal bath, Song Shuhang relied on the body tempering technique (Steel Hands Technique) to increase the effects of his constitution. As such, his constitution was able to reach 275 points during the past twelve days.
During these days, Song Shuhang found some time to research something.
It was none other than the humanoid puppet in his size-reducing purse.
That damned thing actually knew how to swallow spirit stones!
Didn't I get three spirit stones of the Third Stage back when I bought the medicinal ingredients from Miss Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue? When I put them in the size-reducing purse, they disappeared again.
Song Shuhang felt his heart ache. Those were three spirit stones of the Third Stage! That was equivalent to half a day's salary of mining in the spirit stone vein!
Why did the spirit stones in the size-reducing purse disappear?
Thereupon, Song Shuhang curiously put the half-used spirit stone of the last two spirit stones of the Fourth Stage into the size-reducing purse.
Then, he tried shaking the next inch-shrinking bag. Very soon, he saw the culprit — that human puppet had swallowed the spirit stone.
"My heart hurts." Because of this experiment, he had lost half a spirit stone of the Fourth Stage.
As such, Song Shuhang no longer dared to put spirit stones into the size-reducing purse.
Moreover, whenever he finished training and rested, he would study the small human puppet.
It was just that without enough energy, the human puppet was no different from an ordinary toy. There was nothing special about it. Song Shuhang wasn't a master of puppets, and he wouldn't be able to find anything useful from it.
"Perhaps I'll have to wait for Venerable White to come back and let him study it?" Song Shuhang muttered to himself.
Senior White was very good at dismantling things.
Unfortunately, it was very likely that she wouldn't be able to put it back after dismantling it. Even if she could put it back, there would be hidden dangers.
"Anyway, it's not mine. If it's broken, then so be it. I'll let Senior White take it apart next time. "Song Shuhang made up his mind.
...
...
"Lady Chu still hasn't come today," Chu Chu said.
She and Song Shuhang had already stayed in the Lower City of the Time City for 24 days.
However, Fairy Chu still hadn't thought of them.
"Two days should have passed in the outside world," Song Shuhang replied.
If only there was internet at this time. He could give Fairy Chu a call and tell her to come to the Time City to pick him up.
Chu Chu pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Shuhang, why don't we go deeper into the Time City? Perhaps there might be a way out?"
