Chapter 78: The Underground City Transformed
Sang Chu, Mu Xue, and Sang Jing Wen entered the underground city directly.
Grandmother Lin was currently taking care of the plants alone. Seeing them approach, she smiled and walked over, “Sang Sang, you’re back!”
“Mm, Grandmother, are you getting used to it here?”
Grandmother Lin looked at her two granddaughters, one on each side, and smiled, “What’s there not to get used to? It’s very safe here, so you can all rest assured.”
Sang Chu looked at the dim underground city. Even though they had placed as many candles as possible for illumination, the underground city was still too vast.
She casually took out a Dragon Pearl, originally thinking the underground city would require many, so she had already prepared to place all the Dragon Pearls in the underground city.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Dragon Pearl was taken out, the entire underground city became as bright as day.
Mu Xue’s eyes widened gradually, “This pearl is so bright!”
Grandmother Lin’s eyes were momentarily blinded by the sudden bright light. She quickly covered her eyes with her hands, “Sang Sang, what is this?”
“Yeah, Little Sister, what is this? How can it be so bright?”
After having the House Building Machine create a holder for the Dragon Pearl in mid-air, Sang Chu placed the Dragon Pearl in it. “This is a Dragon Pearl. I originally thought I would need many to illuminate the place, but it seems one is enough to light up the entire underground city.”
Mu Xue suddenly let go of her grandmother’s hand and ran into a house. She entered a building, opened the window, and excitedly called out, “Sang Sang, Grandmother, Brother Wen, the house is also very bright! It’s exactly like daytime!”
Hearing her words, Sang Chu and Sang Jing Wen couldn’t help but laugh. They supported Grandmother and walked towards where Mu Xue was.
Upon entering the room, they realized she hadn’t exaggerated at all.
Sang Jing Wen: “It’s really bright!”
Mu Xue: “Sang Sang, can this Dragon Pearl keep illuminating things?”
Sang Chu nodded, “Yes, it can. However, if it’s not in use, it needs to be soaked in Spirit Spring Water. Let’s go out first. I brought back some Spirit Soil and Spirit Spring Water. We’ll get the underground city set up first, and then we’ll take the rest out.”
“Okay, okay, Grandmother, Brother Wen, let’s go quickly!”
Mu Xue was very excited, feeling as if she had returned to before the Apocalypse. Although they were in the underground city, life now was no different from before the Apocalypse!
Sang Chu had the House Building Machine create a breeding area, poured the Spirit Soil dug from Butterfly Valley onto the ground, and then had the machine prepare it row by row.
At this moment, Mu Xue took watermelon seeds from a nearby greenhouse and looked at Sang Chu, “Sang Sang, should we transplant these plants?”
“We can try.”
Without delay, the four of them manually transplanted some plants into the soil for an experiment. “Grandmother, please help take care of these things. As long as they can grow on their own, that’s enough.”
“Don’t worry, Grandmother will definitely take good care of them for you!”
Sang Chu nodded repeatedly, then placed a Water Spirit Pearl into a pool built by the robot. “Grandmother, you can use this water to water the plants, and you can also drink some of it. This is Spirit Spring Water, which is good for your health.”
Seeing that there was water and soil, Grandmother, who had farmed for most of her life, was very excited. “Okay, okay, Grandmother understands!”
Mu Xue squatted by the water pool and saw the robot still building water troughs, asking in confusion, “Sang Sang, why are you making so many water troughs?”
“I plan to create a well. The water in the pool will be for Grandmother’s daily use. The water in the troughs will be connected to the fields, making it more convenient for Grandmother to water the fields later. She can just open a switch, and water will sprinkle directly. The water from the well will be for drinking.”
Grandmother pointed to the enclosed pool beside them and asked, “Sang Sang, what about that one?”
“Grandmother, I will use that pool daily to soak these Dragon Pearls. Dragon Pearls can only be used continuously if they are soaked in Spirit Spring Water; otherwise, they will lose their luster. Grandmother, we might not be able to stay in the underground city all the time, so we’ll have to trouble you to look after it.”
Grandmother gently patted her hand, “Trouble? Grandmother is already very happy to be able to help. I know you are all busy, so Grandmother will help you guard this place. No matter what happens, Grandmother will guard it for you, so you don’t have to worry!”
Mu Xue and Sang Chu clung to their grandmother, leaning on her shoulders from left and right, “Grandmother is so kind.”
Sang Jing Wen watched this scene, as if he had returned to his childhood. At this moment, a message came from Lu Min Feng and the others, “Sang Sang, Min Feng and the others said they have received the Supernatural Ability Users and are on their way here. However, the hovercar is too conspicuous, so they are using the off-road vehicle mode. It might take a few days.”
Sang Chu: “It’s okay. While we have time, there’s something I need to tell you.”
She had already instructed the Optical Computer Robot, Xiao Guang, to set up the virtual training room from the Demon Realm in the underground city. She led Sang Jing Wen and the others towards the training room.
“Brother, Grandmother, this is something I obtained in the Demon Realm. Although I don’t have anything to test Spiritual Roots with, as long as you have Spiritual Roots within you, it can find the corresponding techniques and cultivation methods. Perhaps, even if you can’t awaken Supernatural Abilities, you can enter cultivation mode. As long as you transcend the ordinary human body, you won’t have to fear the messy viruses of the Apocalypse.”
What she wanted to say was that they wouldn’t suddenly die from a lack of energy in their bodies.
What she feared most now was that her brother and grandmother would suddenly die because they weren’t Supernatural Ability Users or zombies. Then all her efforts would be meaningless!
Sang Jing Wen looked at the strange scrolls in the room, “Little Sister, this…”
“Sang Sang, forget about me. Let your brother try.”
Grandmother Lin felt she was too old, and even if she could cultivate, it would be too late. It would be better to let Sang Jing Wen focus on learning.
They didn’t know about ordinary people suddenly dying, and Sang Chu didn’t intend to tell them, as she wasn’t sure if her brother and grandmother could cultivate.
“Grandmother, there’s no need to give it up. Everyone can use this. I specifically made this. You and my brother just need to sit on that white mat and close your eyes!”
Grandmother: “This…”
Sang Jing Wen took Grandmother’s hand and walked towards the white mat. “Grandmother, Sang Sang, Xiao Xue, and I still need you very much. Let’s cultivate together!”
Mu Xue: “That’s right, Grandmother. We’re doing all this because we want our family to be together forever. Hurry up and go!”
Looking at her grandchildren, Grandmother Lin sighed, “Then don’t have too high expectations.”
Sang Chu: “Grandmother, don’t worry. Whether it works or not, let’s try first.”
After Grandmother Lin and Sang Jing Wen sat on the mat, Sang Chu immediately had all seven Spirit Pets come out and directly activated their Spiritual Power.
As long as Grandmother Lin and Sang Jing Wen had Spiritual Roots within them, they could successfully find suitable cultivation methods under the guidance of the Spirit Pets.
However, as time passed, there was no progress.
Mu Xue anxiously looked at Sang Chu, “Sang Sang, Grandmother and Brother Jing Wen…”
