Chapter 7494 Let me take you to see it!
Maria’s words not only enlightened Jeremiah Yun and Song Ruyu, but also easily dispelled their embarrassment and doubts.
Among cultivators, the greatest reward is not elixirs or spiritual stones, nor is it magical artifacts, but rather Cultivation Techniques.
It’s like the saying, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Charlie was very generous in sharing his cultivation techniques, and of course, he also provided spirit stones and pills. Coupled with Charlie’s long-standing kindness, the two understood that being overly polite to Charlie was pointless. What truly mattered was repaying his kindness with all their might in the future.
Therefore, Jeremiah Yun stepped forward, bowed to Charlie to express his gratitude, and said gratefully, “Thank you for your guidance and care, Mr. Wade. I, Rugo, promise to serve you wholeheartedly and with the utmost loyalty!”
Song Ruyu chimed in, “Mr. Wade, Ruyu is just like Sister Yun!”
Their gratitude is very palpable.
Charlie smiled and said, “Alright, there’s no need for such formalities. You two should go into seclusion immediately. There are still some unsolved mysteries surrounding the place where I found those spirit stones. Miss Lin is very knowledgeable, so I want to bring her with me to investigate. You two should stay here and focus on your seclusion cultivation during this time.”
Charlie wanted to take Maria to the underground city of the Doomsday Gate to see if she could enter, and also to see if he could pass through the teleportation array with her. For now, he only dared to share the secret of the place with Maria. However, he didn’t completely hide it from the two of them and took Maria there directly. He was worried that it would be too sudden, arousing their curiosity but also making them feel uncomfortable. He thought that telling them half and keeping the other half a secret was the best solution. Letting the two of them stay here in seclusion while he took Maria there would make everything proceed smoothly and naturally.
Jeremiah Yun didn’t think much about it and immediately said respectfully, “Okay, Mr. Wade, Ruyu and I will practice here for a while and wait for you and Miss Lin to return.”
Song Ruyu obediently replied, “Ruyu will definitely try her best to train well, please don’t worry, Mr. Wade.”
Charlie nodded slightly and said to Maria, “Miss Lin, let’s leave immediately!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Maria smiled and said, “This servant will obey your orders, young master.”
…
Although Maria was physically unafraid of the cold, she was still a young girl without any cultivation, and Charlie couldn’t bear to carry her uphill for more than a hundred kilometers.
Therefore, this time he chose to go there by snowmobile with Maria.
Fortunately, Antarctica has been much quieter lately, and snowmobiles traveling across the vast expanse of Antarctic ice would not attract the attention of satellites.
Twenty kilometers after the two left the Nordic research station, Maria asked Charlie, “Young Master, are there any major events you are facing that you would rather not talk about?”
“Yes!” Charlie nodded with a smile and said to her, “I finally know where the ring you gave me came from. I’ll take you there now! And I’ve also learned its new function.”
Maria exclaimed in surprise, “Wasn’t that ring made by my teacher?”
Charlie shook his head and smiled, “With Master Meng’s cultivation level, how could he possibly have the ability to refine a teleportation array into a ring? He probably obtained the ring by chance, and because he felt he was about to die and had no further use for it, he gave it to your father. In fact, this ring was refined by a group of cultivators with powerful supernatural powers before the end of the Dharma era. This ring not only can teleport, but also has a storage space. The spirit stones were found in the ring’s storage space.”
Maria asked in surprise, “Storage space?! You mean, Young Master, this ring itself has a virtual space that doesn’t exist in the real world?!”
Charlie thought for a moment and said, “Virtual space isn’t entirely accurate. It can only be described as a high-dimensional space that has been folded into this ring by someone with great supernatural powers. There’s probably a space the size of two or three indoor basketball courts inside, which is used for storing things.”
As Charlie spoke, a spiritual stone the size of an ostrich egg appeared out of thin air in his hand, leaving Maria stunned.
Then, with another thought, the spirit stone simply vanished and returned to his ring space.
Maria exclaimed in amazement, “I never imagined that the cultivators of ancient times would have such extraordinary supernatural abilities.”
Charlie smiled and said, “You haven’t seen the true supernatural power yet. You’ll find out when we get there.”
Although Maria was very curious, because Charlie wanted to keep the mystery a secret, she forcibly suppressed her curiosity and did not ask any more questions.
A few hours later, Charlie drove to the ice cave Bolin had dug. He parked the car next to the cave and said to Maria, “This is it. Get out of the car.”
Maria nodded, opened the car door, and got out. Seeing the dark hole in the ice, she couldn’t help but ask, “Young Master, did you dig this deep?”
Charlie shook his head and said, “That cave was dug by an elder from the Shattered Qing Guild. He was also the first to discover the place we were going to, but it seems he was blocked by the formation there and couldn’t enter.”
Maria asked nervously, “Young master, do you intend to take me in? This cave is very deep, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get down…”
Charlie smiled and said, “If I could get you in, you wouldn’t have to go down into the cave to get in.”
Maria asked in confusion, “Don’t we need to go down into the cave?”
“Yes, come with me.” Charlie took Maria’s hand and led her to the location of the teleportation array outside the cave. This was a convenient entrance and exit from the Antarctic ice sheet to the underground city. However, those who hadn’t mastered the method to activate the teleportation array couldn’t see or sense its existence or specific location.
Maria’s soft hand was held by Charlie, her heart pounding. She shyly followed Charlie to a spot on the ice peak. Just as Charlie was about to silently recite a mantra, Maria suddenly pointed to the snowmobile and said to Charlie, “Young Master, isn’t it a bit unsafe to leave this snowmobile here? Since your ring has enough space, why not keep it inside your ring?”
