Transmigrant Alchemist And His Magic Wagon

The underground cities

"This is the capital of the Wei State, after all" Ling Zizhou said after a long silence.

"You've been to Wei Country?" said Mu Lian.

"Early but the master did not take me to the capital," Ling Zizhou said.

Mu Lian was about to say something but suddenly the tarpaulin was exposed, Master Yi was about to go up. Behind him, an attendant continued to speak to Master Yi in a friendly manner,

"Thank you for visiting our country. Have you noted the contact of the person who will take care of your registration to the Sacred Cave? Again, have a nice visit,"

The attendant was shocked when he saw Mu Lian, Ling Zizhou, Meimei and Meng Zhi but then smiled amiably.

The officer's face was almost slapped with a cloth because Master Yi hurriedly closed the cloth after seeing the officer make contact with Mu Lian, Ling Zizhou, Meimei and Meng Zhi were sitting on the face of the wagon.

Fortunately, Mu Lian said that she wanted to see the hustle of the capital, whereas Mu Lian wanted to clearly see the unique characteristics of the officer and the council that were standing guard around.

The cloth was tied to the right and left of the cart. Let the officer see clearly the people sitting in front of the cart.

Mu Lian looked at the officer with sparkling eyes. Although the wagon started to walk away from the officer, Mu Lian unconsciously turned her head back, when of course she could not see the officer as he was inside the wagon.

Seeing the curious look in Mu Lian's Eyes, Meimei also explained that the indigenous people of Wei Country were water goats.

When transformed into humans, their noses, ears, horns and hair were striking.

Their noses are pug, ears resemble goat ears but smaller, even so small so it does not look proportional. Their horns are spiral upward. Broadly speaking, they resemble Markhor.

Mu Lian's gaze never escaped from the councils she met along the way, making her get up and stand in front of the wagon.

The councils were already far behind but Mu Lian still tried to observe them, making her almost fall from the wagon.

"Be careful!" said Master Yi bringing back Mu Lian to the bench. Then hand the paper to him.

"This is a slip filing letter that we must give to a broker. His name was Fei Xua," said Master Yi. handing over the paper scroll so that Mu Lian could sit quietly.

Mu Lian opened the paper scroll. The title 'SLIP SUBMISSION' is most clearly displayed among the existing writings.

After quickly observing the sentences written on the paper, the attention-grabbing sentences were the ones of interest: organization, the number of people taking part: 6 people, an addition: bringing magical transportation.

"Show me this paper, then the slip will be ours" Master Yi said.

"Seriously?" said Meng Zhi in disbelief. Master Yi nodded.

"How difficult is it to get a slip if you don't have this submission?" mu Lian said curiously with Meng Zhi's attitude.

"It is very difficult because our rivals are famous sects in this country, large organizations sometimes large sects from other countries come all the way just to the Holy Cave. Oh, if the powerful Sacred Cave opens, usually people from Zhongjian World come, too" Meng Zhi said.

"I'm really grateful we bagged the gold medal. You know what, Lian'er? All those who deserve to compete for the slip will follow the match to get the winner of the slip," Meimei shook his head.

Meimei explained that the fight over slips could turn brutal if the one opened was a very powerful Sacred Cave.

"When it's in the cave, the competition will be even tougher. Not infrequently lives are lost because of the hot fight," said Meng Zhi. Ling Zizhou let out a long sigh.

It turned out that Ling Zizhou had once had the opportunity to enter the Sacred Cave even though it was small-scale, it was still Ling Zizhou describing how dangerous it was to hunt for treasures as well as resources inside the Sacred Cave.

"Lian'er, you have to be careful of hypocrites. Up front is good to us, but behind them are always looking for an opportunity to stab us! Cheek, b**n!" said Ling Zizhou pretending to spit at people in his shadow.

Of course he did not dare to spit in the wagon, he could have been told to walk! Mu Lian only observed Ling Zizhou who continued to berate the people who had once managed to make her grudge.

Then he turned to the scene that caught his attention. The capital city of Wei State is a little unique because its council buildings are not separated by giant walls.

The capital is entirely inhabited only by councils so the buildings that stand here are the Council Building.

The wagon walked for nearly thirty minutes before Meimei finally stood up and showed Mu Lian something with great enthusiasm,

"Ah, here it is! Lian'er, what I want to show you is this underwater tunnel!The tunnel is made of solid sand and then hardened,"

(illustration only. Please adjust to the story description. Source: Pinterest)

"Well! Is that tunnel really that strong?" said Mu Lian.

"of course. The tunnel was formed naturally and had been formed several thousand years ago," Meng Zhi said.

Several groups who came along with Mu Lian seemed to flock to the tunnel. Around the tunnel entrance there is a long queue.

Fortunately, Mu Lian and the others did not wait too long before their turn arrived. The carts are allowed to pass.

Because the size of the tunnel is not too large, the cart must walk behind a group. Same with the previous one or the one behind the cart.

"It's a shame that this tunnel is made of sand, if it's made of glass, we can observe life underwater" Mu Lian said.

"Glass? You mean mirror? Until now no one had thought of making a tunnel out of glass," Meng Zhi shook her head.

"True, the one protecting the capital alone includes magic tools. They form a transparent shield, so we can see underwater life. But well, the cost of making such a magic tool is exorbitant" Meimei said.

Thirty minutes later, the cart came out of the tunnel.

"Welcome to the land of Wei. This country is famous for its underground cities" Meimei said.

"Gee, master, it's been a long time since we stopped here!" ling Zizhou said excitedly.

"Wait, why is everyone living underground? Is there a terrible predator up there?" said Mu Lian. If humans avoid somewhere, there must be natural predators.

"Haha, you mean spirit beast? Spirit beasts alone did not exist above the ground. Everything lives underground because of acid rain" Meng Zhi explained.

Acid rain can destroy even the hardest iron. Hence, up there, there are only deserts and lagoons. The lagoon formed after the acid rain is purified naturally by white sand.

Miraculously, the underground of the white sand desert forms stalactites and stalagmites that meet each other, creating a large support pole.

Wei residents also use the stones as houses, shops and other buildings.

"You must think the atmosphere in this country is very somber, right? Because there is no sunlight or plants?

Take it easy, you can find it in certain areas. Tell Master Mu to stop at those places if it is in line with our purpose,"

Meng Zhi stood up then relayed Meimei's message to Mu Haocun through a communication tool.

"Ah Zhou, how is our food supply?" said Meng Zhi.

"Not too much. I didn't have time to shop often due to the auction house incident," Ling Zizhou said.

"Well, we go shopping first at the nearest store. After it went to the spring," Mu Haocun's voice sounded through the communication device. Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu were fighting.

It seems like the children are taking part in seeing the outside scenery through the Sky Mirror. Since the Spirit Beast Festival, children aged 12 and 9 years old have often been seen spending their time in the control room.

"Xiaohan, Xiaoqiu! You guys keep fighting. Xiaoleng, take care of the two of them so as not to disturb Master Mu!" said Meimei exclaiming while remaining seated on his stool.

Hearing Meimei's voice, in an instant the fighting voice stopped. Besides being often considered a mother figure, Meimei is also feared for his assertive attitude.

Xiaohan and Xiaogiu are 9-year-old children. They often fight. Fortunately, it is still within reasonable limits. Even now, Mu Haocun could still operate the wagon as usual.

The wagon descended the steps then walked on a wider path and passed through rows upon rows of giant towering support stones.

There were bright lights from the open windows. And the shadow of those who go back and forth.

Mu Lian observed the round objects that became the main light source of this city. Unintentionally, one of the balls of light spun around and two eyes met face to face with Mu Lian.

"!"

"Haha! Look mau! Shocked huh? It's insects. All these glowing balls of insects were living underground as well," Ling Zizhou said holding his stomach for laughing too much.

Ling Zizhou explained that the insect was very tame and never attacked anyone.

Their lives are just eating, sleeping and shining.

If the time they died, their size would shrink further and their light would dim.

Mu Lian listened to Ling Zizhou's explanation while observing the stone bridge they were passing through.

Before long, the wagon passed through the support stone with a lot of banners. Some say restaurant, some say convenience store.

The wagon stopped at a buffer stone with a banner that read 'Fresh Market'. Mu Lian followed Ling Zizhou and Meimei down from the wagon and into the place.

The three of them had to climb up the spiral staircase to arrive at the market. From the building to the furniture in it were made of rock, making Mu Lian feel like she was in ancient times.

But uniquely, the commodities sold are diverse. Starting from colorful vegetables, fish that resemble broom fish that are very ugly.

Meimei explained that the worse, the more delicious the fish tasted. There are also tubers with strange shapes. The more strange the less and the more expensive the price.

Does it taste better? Of course not, but the benefits it contains are getting bigger. But this time Meimei did not take the tubers because it will buy red grains.

It is shaped like brown rice and is used as rice in this world. Meimei bought a lot.

While Meimei was taking care of rice and vegetables, Ling Zizhou was looking for the ugliest fish, that is, the nicest fish to buy.

The bustle of the market made Mu Lian look back and forth, not wanting to miss anything that happened at that time. As Ling Zizhou rejoined Mu Lian and Meimei, Ling Zizhou said,

"May jie, have you finished your rice shopping? I'm gonna go upstairs and get some meat,"

"alright. We go back first huh," Meimei said immediately pulling Mu Lian to return to the wagon.

"Well, why don't we just come?" mu Lian said in astonishment.

"You won't eat if you go with Ah Zhou!" meimei said smiling amusedly. Since the meat available in the Wei Country came from insects, Meimei did not dare to tell Mu Lian about it.

If they want to eat meat that is really meat, they have to hunt themselves and the location of the hunt is very far from here.

Mu Lian followed her premonition telling her to obey Meimei. Ten minutes later, Ling Zizhou returned and they continued on their way. This time the cart walked away from the residential area.

Mu Haocun parked the wagon by the side of the road near the towering high pedestal. They took a 2-hour lunch break while discussing which springs they would visit.

"I want to see the spring!" xiaohan and Xiaoqiu said simultaneously. Despite not saying so, Xiaobao, Xiaohua, Xiaoleng, and Xiaojia looked at Mu Lian and the others expectantly.

Mu Lian observed Xiaoqi and Xiaofu, 2 children who were 12 years old as well. Both of them remained calm and paid attention to the younger children.

Two 9-year-old children also look not so enthusiastic to the springs that became the main topic of conversation at that time.

Mu Lian did not force the children to come along, letting them choose as they wished.

Finally, who will see the springs only 6 children. 4 children aged 12 years are Xiaobao, Xiaohua, Xiaoleng and Xiaojia. 2 children aged 9 years are Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu.

Xiaobao and Xiaohua followed Mu Lian and Ling Zizhou sitting with Master Yi on the front of the wagon while Xiaoleng, Xiaojia, Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu followed Meimei and Meng Zhi to the back of the wagon.

They drive for 5 hours to reach the spring. The atmosphere on the front of the wagon was very quiet as everyone spent time sleeping.

It was different with everything behind the wagon. Just walking for a few minutes, Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu had already fought.

Not to mention Xiaoqiu accidentally kicked Xiaojia in the leg, making the quarrel even hotter. Both are in pursuit.

Xiaojia often participated in training with Meimei and Meng Zhi, as well as Xiaoqiu. They practice what they have learned so far in the pursuit of making Xiaoleng and Xiaohan did not want to miss, playing the chase.

Fortunately there were no porcelain bottles on display on the shelves. Meimei and Meng Zhi could only silently stare at the children running around the two.

When they finally arrived at their destination. Everything comes down one by one from the cart, because the road ahead is narrowed so the journey must continue on foot. Mu Haocun took the wagon to safety and waited for Mu Lian and the others to return.

Meng Zhi led the way followed by the children, Mu Lian and Meimei as well as Ling Zizhou stood guard behind the entourage.

The journey takes approximately 15 minutes with uphill road conditions. What makes it a little difficult is the amount of rocks that sometimes make someone slip.

To Mu Lian, Ling Zizhou, Meimei and Meng Zhi, such terrain was not a problem. But the children had only just started cultivating and they had not deepened the qinggong technique yet.

"Be careful. Good, slow down the road. We'll be there soon. Ah, that's her cave mouth already visible," Meng Zhi said.

The children breathed a sigh of relief after passing through the mouth of the cave in question but immediately took a deep breath as they saw the scene before them.

"!"
