The Amazing son in law Chapter 7946

Stepping out of the square and into the ancient streets, everything around me felt like I was in a meticulously crafted, modern film set. Everything was so refined, exquisite, and even brand new, as if it had just been built.

Moreover, there was absolutely no trace of anyone having ever lived here.charlie Wade cautiously tried to push open one of the courtyard gates. The gate wasn’t locked, and there wasn’t even a lock; there wasn’t even a simple bolt inside.

The courtyard was about two or three hundred square meters, not very large, but it lacked any living facilities. There was no washing basin like in a typical farmhouse, no stone mill for grinding grain, no sheds for raising poultry, not even a well. The courtyard was paved entirely with smooth, clean, and rustic bluestone bricks; nothing else.

Passing through the courtyard, there was a row of three rooms. The main room had no tables or chairs, but was covered with exquisitely woven rattan mats. On the mats were several round meditation cushions, seemingly for meditation.

Even stranger, the two side rooms weren’t bedrooms in the traditional sense. The left side room resembled a secluded training room, while the right side room contained a handmade crib and some handcrafted wooden toys.

charlie Wade speculated that almost everyone living here, except for newborns, had reached a high level of abstaining from grains (辟谷). They didn’t need to eat, drink, or use the toilet, so there wasn’t even a kitchen or toilet in the courtyard.

Another very strange thing was that all the rooms had light sources created from spiritual energy, making it almost like daytime even without sunlight. Unless you looked up at the ceiling, you almost wouldn’t feel like you were underground.

It was as if the entire underground city operated on a powerful array, like a power plant supplying the city’s energy needs.

Even stranger, there were no cultivation items in the rooms—no pills, no magical artifacts, and no visible cultivation techniques—far exceeding Wu Bolin’s speculation.

charlie Wade visited several other similar independent courtyards, with the same result: not only were there no pills, magical artifacts, or cultivation techniques, but he hadn’t even found a box containing pills.

But charlie Wade couldn’t understand where everyone here had gone. If those cultivators who failed to transcend the tribulation or did not survive to the time of transcending the tribulation died here, they couldn’t possibly bury all their belongings together, could they?
Even if their descendants buried them and their belongings, what about the last group of cultivators? Surely they wouldn’t have the means to dispose of their own possessions? Yet, there were no personal belongings used for cultivation anywhere, making it seem less like they had survived to the end and more like they had orderly evacuated.

After visiting several courtyards, charlie Wade sat down on a futon in one of the rooms, circulating his inner energy to purify it. The continuous flow of spiritual energy from the outside world was astounding; for him alone, it was like having a car guarded by an inexhaustible oil field.

Cultivating in this environment would be dozens of times faster than in the outside world during the Dharma-ending Age. Meng Changsheng (Willie) only reached the Foundation Establishment level after a thousand years, but a child born here, with such powerful spiritual energy and the guidance of strong cultivators, could probably reach that level in just a few decades.

In this underground city, besides the courtyards of each household, there are institutions resembling schools and government offices, and even a place called the Medicine King Hall. In the very center of the main hall of the Medicine King Hall, instead of a statue of a deity, there is an enormous alchemy furnace, over two zhang tall. charlie Wade could sense that this furnace itself was a magical artifact.

This was the only magical artifact charlie Wade had discovered in the underground city so far. So, while stroking the furnace, he tried to channel his spiritual energy into it. This attempt was quite unexpected; it felt like throwing a pebble into a vast celestial pool—his spiritual energy couldn’t perceive its immense power.

However, charlie Wade did sense that the furnace was an integral part of the entire Medicine King Hall, with an extremely grand internal array. If he wanted to use it to refine pills, regardless of how powerful the resulting pills would be, the spiritual energy required to operate the furnace would likely be astronomical even for someone of his cultivation level.

If the medicinal cauldron he obtained from Hong Changqing was a two-kilowatt household rice cooker, then this alchemy furnace was a blast furnace for refining steel, completely beyond his size to operate.

charlie Wade even felt that this alchemy furnace was definitely not just a personal magical artifact for the local inhabitants, but rather a production center for providing pills to the entire underground city. Perhaps such a furnace would require dozens or even hundreds of top experts working simultaneously to operate!
