Chapter 168 - Magi Palace
Ji Hao closely followed Wulong Yao and ran into a few other elderly men, who had rushed out after the boom. They then held the burned elderly man up from the ground simultaneously. A group of apprentices rushed over as well, eagerly pouring ten whole bowls of different coloured, weird liquid medicine into the burned elderly man’s mouth. Those liquid medicines were emitting all kinds of strange smells, and a few bowls of them were even bubbling.
The hair and eyebrows of the elderly man, whose clothes were all shattered by the boom, had been completely seared off by the great heat that was caused by the explosion, and large pieces of skin were carbonized. Burping a few times, after having swallowed all te liquid medicines and letting out a stream of an unpleasant medicine smell, he then suddenly popped open his eyes.
Thunder-like sounds came from his body, it seemed that the tens of bowls of liquid medicine had worked. Wisps of steam spurted out from the elderly man’s body, pieces of carbonized skin began chapping and falling off, and his body began to rapidly regrow new skin under his burned skin.
Not long after that, the elderly man had fully recovered as if nothing had ever happened to him, even his burned hair and eyebrows had grown back.
Shaking his head, the elderly man then stood up from the ground and straightly raised his hand towards another sturdy elderly man, who had been standing aside, with his palm unturned, and yelled, “Cut the crap! Give me another ten portions of ‘spatial crystals’, and all the other supporting materials, ten portions of each! I was very close! I have just made a spatial magic tool that is as big as ten rooms!”
Including Wulong Yao, all the other elderly men and apprentices deeply gasped in shock.
The sturdy elderly man instantly gave the order, and a few apprentices darted out right after. A quarter of an hour later, these few apprentices returned with large amounts of material, then politely handed it to the elderly man who had just been burned now, and still had streams of smoke emitting from his head.
“Get somebody to fix my door!” Yelled the elderly man after he had taken all of the materials, then he hurriedly rushed back into his room.
A great magic power spread out from the room, which formed a red, visible magic barrier and sealed the entire room up, even then, waves of shockingly great power streams still gushed out through the barrier, which was so powerful that it even made Ji Hao feel thrilled.
“Hi-yo! Hi-yo!”
Along with loud footsteps, over ten twenty-zhang tall giants, whose bodies were all formed by metallic muscles, were chanting a work song and walking over, with a huge, three-zhang thick, bronze door carried on their backs.
These metallic muscular giants cleaned those fragments of the broken door up very quickly as if they were quite familiar with this kind of work; then they firmly set the incredibly thick new bronze door in the doorframe. Over tens of thousands of spell symbols lit up one after another on the surface of the bronze door, and a piercing beam of light flashed across it, right after which, the great power streams, which had been gushing out of the room through the barrier, instantly stopped, without leaving even a slightest trace.
“Are we going to succeed soon?” Said the elderly man who had just ordered the few apprentices to get those materials for the burned elderly man, while looking at the others standing around him, a bit excitedly, “If our Magi Palace can produce spatial tools as big as that by ourselves...”
The others glanced at each other, Wulong Yao then said, “Let’s just wait and see, old Mi won’t get any result within at least two months.”
The few elderly men talked to each other in low voices for a short while, then the surrounding people quickly scattered and left, going back to what they had been busy with, before the explosion. Ji Hao felt the tight schedule and serious atmosphere around him, every single person was busy, none of them were sitting around and doing nothing.
Wulong Yao slightly frowned while leading Ji Hao, moving forward quickly along the Gui Road. Gradually, his walking speed grew faster and faster; fiery lights darted out from Ji Hao’s back, Ji Hao had activated his fiery wings and could only barely catch up with Wulong Yao.
Rushing along the broad road for around a quarter of an hour, and after at least a thousands of miles away; when Ji Hao silently exclaiming about how broad and magnificent the Magi Palace was, Wulong Yao abruptly stopped in front of a huge bronze door.
He raised his fist high into the air, then Wulong Yao began pounding hard on the bronze door for a few times, until the ground began shaking and the thunderous noise made all the passing apprentices scream, covering their ears with their hands and fleeing away.
