Chapter 188: Traveling to Mount Longhu!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Bei Feng focused on the changes to the cauldron and following the instructions from the refining techniques in his head, mental power surged out of his body and wrapped around the cauldron.

Using his mental power to observe the cauldron, he saw that the intricate patterns carved into the cauldron seemed to have grown alive, bringing Bei Feng’s mental power to flow along with them. The entire feeling was as natural as a fish in water!

“As expected, this medicinal cauldron is not that simple. In the past, this cauldron was really wasted in my hands.”

Bei Feng mumbled to himself. With a flick of his wrist, a portion of pork appeared in his hands, and was quickly throwing into the cauldron!

By a portion of meat, it referred to an entire half a pig, weighing several hundred jin!

Following the refining method of the Blood Qi Pellet, Bei Feng concentrated his mental power and wrapped it around the pork, not allowing it to touch the bottom of the cauldron.

This step was extremely easy for Bei Feng whose mental power had far exceeded a typical Pill Apprentice’s.

But, this action actually caused Bei Feng quite a great deal of shock. Although his mental power was strong, it was still far from being able to affect reality on its own, let alone suspend a few hundred jin of pork in midair!

‘Looks like there must be something special about this cauldron. It’s probably impossible to forge a pill cauldron with just any materials,’ Bei Feng thought before turning his full attention onto the cauldron.

Waves of terrifying heat roiled about within the cauldron, its temperature high enough to cause shudders to run down anybody’s spine. Right now, even a slab of steel would melt instantly if it was thrown into the cauldron!

The large piece of pork also began to shrink with visible speed. Large droplets of oil and fat rolled off it, turning into green smoke and disappearing.

Seeing this, Bei Feng did not dare to hesitate any further. He formed a hand seal and at the same time, a mental imprint appeared with a move of his mental power, sinking into the pork!

“Boom!”

After that, the pork finally stopped releasing oil, causing Bei Feng to heave a sigh of relief. But, before he could even begin to rejoice, the pork suddenly fell apart, instantly burning into ashes under the high temperature!

“Failed.”

Bei Feng turned off the valve and the fire disappeared. The mystical patterns on the cauldron also dissipated without a trace.

This result was slightly unexpected, yet was completely within expectations at the same time. For Bei Feng, he could only be considered as a pill apprentice with a higher starting point since he possessed mental power equivalent to a 2 Star Alchemist. But ultimately, the amount of time he’d been in contact with alchemy was still too short.

The time between the application of mental imprints and the accuracy of fire control were the two most important aspects of refining the pellet. Quite apparently, Bei Feng had not done well enough in both areas. Just the mental imprint he created with his mental power had failed.

Bei Feng lifted up the cauldron and cleared away the ashes.

Alchemy was a profession that required continuous practice and experimentation to grasp. Bei Feng made a call and instructed Mystic Four to bring over a few van fulls of pork.

“Speaking of Mystic Four, why aren’t Mystic One and the rest back after being gone for so long?”

Bei Feng wondered aloud as he dialed Mystic One’s number.

“Du, du!”

Unexpectedly, the call actually went through. However, nobody was picking it up.

Bei Feng’s face turned ugly. Did something happen again?

“Hello? Who is this?”

An unfamiliar voice sounded over the phone. Bei Feng furrowed his brows and replied coldly, “Where is the owner of this phone?”

“Lunatic. I am the owner of the phone!”

The other person cursed and ended the call.

Bei Feng was enraged. It was fine if this kind of thing happened once. But this was the second time!

“Bunch of blockheads unable to do anything well but good at spoiling things!”

Bei Feng scolded darkly. Since there were no changes to the Book of Spiritual Contract, that meant that the three dunces were not in any life-threatening danger.

The three Mystics had gone to Lingxi Town. Coincidentally, Danxia Zi’s Mount Longhu was also at that area.

Bei Feng instructed Mystic Four to drop everything he had going on, and bring Mystic Five and the rest over.

Soon, the six of them boarded two cars and arrived at Bei Feng’s villa. Bei Feng was already waiting, and quickly entered the car with them, towards Lingxi Town.

For the entire journey, Bei Feng did not say much. The atmosphere in the car was somewhat stifling, and Mystic Four and the rest felt like they were sitting on a bed of pins. It was apparent at a glance that beneath Bei Feng’s calm expression, he was seething with rage!

The two cars quickly arrived at a small airport at Qingcheng. This was actually a tourism company which rented out private helicopters. They offered a tour of the skies around Qingcheng for tourists.

Bei Feng gave a few instructions to Mystic Four before proceeding to the main hall and ordering some tea.

At first, when the company’s staff heard that this group of people wanted to rent their helicopter and fly out of the state, all of them shook their heads and rejected flatly.

However, the moment Mystic Four took out a large stack of money, the person in charge immediately appeared and accepted the business.

Without any other complications, the group quickly disappeared into the distance with the helicopter.

Only after about ten hours of choppy flight did the helicopter finally land at Chang Nan Airport!

The distance from the airport to Mount Longhu was over 100 kilometers. Bei Feng was not in a rush to go there immediately. Instead, he told Mystic Four and the rest to look for hotels and cars for the next day.

As soon as the sun rose, Bei Feng set out towards Mount Longhu again with the rest.

Mount Longhu was located in the precinct of Lingxi Town, and was the ancestral temple of an upright Taoist School. The founder of the Taoist School, Zhang Ling, once stayed in this mountain to refine pills. According to legends, whenever a pill was formed, images of dragons and tigers would appear, thus the name Mount Longhu. [1]

According to the Taoist School’s historical records, the fourth generation of Zhang Ling, Sun Zhang Sheng, had taken up residence at Mount Longhu during the period of Three Dynasty or the Western Jin Dynasty. From then on, the descendants of Heavenly Master Zhang stayed in Mount Longhu for 63 generations and lasted for 1,900 years.

But from the looks of it, the Dao of Alchemy which Mount Longhu was known for had already fallen into obscurity. At the very least, people had only heard of the martial prowess of Mount Longhu, while nothing had been heard of their pill refining capabilities.

“JI!”

As Bei Feng’s attention drifted during the ride, the jeep he was in suddenly screeched to a halt.

“What’s going on?”

Bei Feng asked with a frown.

“Boss, let me go and take a look.”

Mystic Five flung open the door and ran to the front.

“Boss, there’s someone trying to hitch a ride at the front. Their car had broken down, and they are also going towards Mount Longhu. They are asking if they can follow us for a distance.”

Mystic Five reported respectfully.

“Bring them along.”

Bei Feng nodded lightly. He closed his eyes and did not ask further.

Mystic Five bowed slightly and went up to the car in front, indicating Bei Feng’s instructions to Mystic Six.

“Get in.”

Mystic Six beckoned at the man and the two girls beside the road.

“Thank you!”

The three climbed into the jeep. Two of them seemed like a couple as they sat close to each other and whispered into each other’s ears as soon as they entered the car. The other girl nodded at Mystic Six and expressed her gratitude.

“There’s no need to thank me. It was the boss who allowed us to let you hitch a ride. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be bringing you along.”

Mystic Six said dismissively.

“Hur hur.”

A smile with masked intentions appeared on Su Bai’s face.

“Darling, look at this. These people are driving around in two cheap jeeps, but they already think that they’re some big shots.”

Su Bai whispered mischievously into the ears of the girl beside him.

“Right, this car feels so uncomfortable. It’s worlds apart from your Porsche!”

Wu Xiao Li wrapped her arms around Su Bai’s arms like a little bird clinging to a tree branch.

“Alright, that’s enough.”

Lin Qingya felt a bit embarrassed by the two. Others were nice enough to let them hitch a ride, but they actually had the face to sit there and complain about the car!
