Chapter 128: Spellbound
Contrary to expectations, Gu Ying’s guest room was almost as big as Anji’s in the Celestial Dragon Sect. It had everything the bodyguard could need. However, the most curious thing was the convenience of everything embedded into the complex circuitry.
"If you need lights, you can fuse some energy into this stone here to turn it on. The same thing happens in the bath. This is the crystal for filling the tub, and this is to heat the water. You can maintain the heat of the water using this spell by activating the switch at the side of the wall. To drain the water, you can imbue some energy into the seal at the bottom of the tub."
The more Pearl explained the functions of the guest room, including internal temperature control, moving machines that would create wind on a hot day and an ice maker, the more convinced Anji became that Mystical Qilin Sect had very few students leaving the mountain because they had grown too used to this luxurious lifestyle.
In short, Anji was utterly spellbound by the different inventions incorporated into the design of this place. It was like living in a completely different world. Madness and brilliance coexisted simultaneously in the same space. As someone who had experimented with her complex circuits, she knew how difficult it was to stabilise something this intertwined. Whoever created this must have taken years!
After a grand room tour, Gu Ying nodded and thanked Pearl. However, she only wanted to know where the courtyard and cultivation chambers were. Although the amenities were fancy, the Manchurian warrior was still more accustomed to sleeping on the grass underneath a sea of stars. If anything, this level of luxury made her a tad uncomfortable.
Hearing Gu Ying’s request, Pearl finally accepted that their guest was a true-blooded cultivator from the mainstream sects. Although she did not know which sect Anji was from, she was clearly an important person to be, having a guardian of such calibre.
The training grounds were wide and spacious. However, it was also different from the regular training courtyards of other martial sects. The Mystical Qilin Sect created a forcefield around the space to contain the impact, noise and damage caused by sparring. Truthfully, Bai Dajin could use this in his sect. From what Anji had seen, the White Tiger Sect Leader had caused quite extensive damage to the back of their mountain when he spared with the leader of the Azure Dragon Sect.
"In addition, we added different terrain simulations on the training ground that you could ask an apprentice to assist you with. Please note that the intensity could be dangerous, so you should never use this feature alone without an administrator."
Intrigued by the features, Gu Ying asked about them. When the cool beauty finally broke her composure to indicate an interest in their sect’s creations, Pearl broke into the widest grin Anji had ever seen and offered to give a short demonstration.
