Chapter 243: Troublemakers (1/2)

Cao Mao strolled around the city, looking for a good place for the item in his hand.

In Cao Mao's right hand was the immortal-grade goblet, which could continuously produce any fluid as long as its grade was under the immortal realm.

He didn't have to look far. At the west of the pylon tower, Jia Wenhe and Ju Shoufen had already dug a pool to serve as their mini water reservoir for future usage for every family. Several waterways and a drainage system had already been made by the two elders as well.

The water inside the pool came from the mysterious rain, made by the incomplete tower. Just by standing near the pool, Cao Mao could feel that his Qi and Essence increased every time he inhaled.

Still, the pool was inferior to the diluted liquid that Cao Mao had.

Cao Mao opened the goblet cover and drop the diluted liquid of Unified Elemental Vein Pill in the cup!

The ”Holy Grail” shone in golden light as it began memorizing the characteristic of the diluted liquid. Three seconds later, the clear water in the goblet multiplied.

Soon, the cup in Cao Mao's hand was filled with water. It started leaking the content as if it had become a fountain.

Cao Mao stomped his right foot and injected his wood Qi into the ground. A fat bamboo tree appeared and shot up from the center of the reservoir pool.

The top of the bamboo changed shape into a small plate, which could lock the bottom of Cao Mao's goblet in place. Cao Mao directed the cup in his hand toward the bamboo and embedded it into the plate.

The goblet started pumping more diluted liquid after Cao Mao locked in inside the bamboo. It became an official fountain in the middle of the reservoir.

Seeing the effect of the goblet, Cao Mao was satisfied. He turned around.

Ju Shoufen and Jia Wenhe had been following Cao Mao around after he had gotten out of the mansion since the latter had asked them to help him create another array. They looked at the goblet in confusion.

”What is that? Why does it keep producing water?” Jia Wenhe was curious.

”Ah, that will be the second lifeline of our city from now on. It will continuously produce medicinal water that can be used to heal injuries and increase one's affinity of every basic element.”

”Huh!?”

Ju Shoufen walked on top of the water to observe the goblet up close. Then, she scooped a handful of diluted liquid, which had overflown from the cup.

As soon as Ju Shoufen had taken a sip, she had realized Cao Mao's intention.

”Is this a treasure from the auction?”

”Yeah. I haven't told you, but yeah. It's from the auction event.”

Cao Mao explained the effect that this goblet would give them. Also, he told them about the deals he had with the beast girls.

Ju Shoufen and Jia Wenhe approved this decision since they needed extra manpower to defend this city from the orcs and other greedy cultivators. Now, with the beastmen and Huangjin Monastery's support, they could establish a fighting force, which could rival the top sects, such as Mountain Goose Sect or Jiangdong White Tiger Sect.

As for the water from the cup, they would indeed become the second attraction of the city. If they were to play their cards right, they could establish a new sect or a new force here.

”I like your idea, but the goblet is unprotected. We should hide it or cover it with some illusion arrays or a killing array.”

”If better, we should hide it under the pool, so nobody will suspect anything odd. If someone asks us about the excess water in the future, we can just tell them that everything comes from the tower.”

”That's true. For now, let's hide the cup. Can we use an earth-type spell and a sealing array to lock it in place?”

”Sure. Let's start.”

The alchemist elders didn't like how eye-catching the fountain of medicine water was. They discussed how they could hide the goblet from public eyes or set up an array.

A minute later after the two alchemists had brainstormed, they cast a spell, which pulled the bamboo under the water along with the goblet.

Once the goblet was at the bottom of the reservoir, the elders began reconstructing the waterways and drainage systems by manipulating the water, soil, bricks, rocks, and dirt with their Qi.

Cao Mao gazed at the spectacular sight as water droplets floated in the air along with random rocks and piles of dirt. He touched one of the floating rocks, and it moved away slightly upon the touch.

”Brat. If you have nothing to do, go cultivation or practice whatever technique you're using. You're getting in the way.”

”Err, okay…”

The elders chased Cao Mao away since there was nothing he could do to help them at the moment.

Cao Mao was relieved. Now that he had set up everything, it was the time for him to eat some of his pills and reap some quest rewards from Kunwu.

Unfortunately, Kunwu and the system hadn't confirmed the completion of the quest yet. Cao Mao wondered how Jia Shan was doing with the divine pill.

Suddenly, Cao Mao sensed that he was being watched. He turned toward the north wall, where he had sensed the pair of eyes that had been watching him.

Their eyes met, but the guy on top of the wall flew away.

Cao Mao's face turned ugly. His heart skipped several beats as he had a bad feeling about the snooper.

'I don't have the time to play around. There's the matter about the orc army. And now, that guy might have seen my [Holy Grail].'

Cao Mao took a deep breath. He strode toward the yin slave mansion as he needed a place to enter closed-door training. Wei Yuan's house, aka his house, was destroyed because of the hearts of divine beasts, so he needed a new shelter ASAP.

'Shit. I need to build a new house, too. But I should deal with the orcs first before I can rebuild my house.'

…

”Phew, those orcs are scary. I thought that we would have been caught for sure.”

Niu Fu wiped his sweat after he and his mentor managed to escape from the orc patrol unit, whom they had accidentally met on their way to Siren City.
