Chapter 901 - 899: Madman Li Is Afraid
Not to mention reaching the Great Perfection in the Late Stage of the Extreme Dao, even achieving the Extreme Dao is something that hasn’t happened in hundreds of years. Legend has it that upon reaching the Extreme Dao, one’s body undergoes a qualitative change, not only allowing eternal youth but also extending lifespan to five times the norm.
That’s about four to five hundred years of life.
Such a tempting prospect is why those old people of the Celestial Pill Sect are eager to open that door and enter that place, hoping to cultivate into the legendary Extreme Dao and pursue a longer life.
"Hoo... Who on earth are you?" Madman Li was somewhat scared. This person’s power far exceeded his own, and if he wanted to kill him, it wouldn’t be difficult.
"The dead don’t need to know too much." The masked figure said this and flashed forward.
Even in Chen Tianlong’s eyes, he could only see a remnant shadow, while Wu Mengting practically saw the person disappear altogether. Following that was a scream, and Madman Li was sent flying backwards, slamming hard against a rock wall.
"Boom!"
It was like a bomb exploding, with dust and smoke rolling in the front, while Madman Li slid down the wall slowly. It wasn’t over yet; the masked person took advantage of this, advancing swiftly to Madman Li, tapping several points all over his body, then turning around and flying away.
The entire action was like flowing water, extremely smooth.
"Bang bang bang...."
After the masked person left, Madman Li’s body suddenly emitted a series of explosive sounds, scaring Wu Mengting, who clung to Chen Tianlong, not daring to look.
After all, it was too bloody, and the man was too ruthless.
The person was already seriously injured, yet still wouldn’t let him go and even did something to Madman Li’s body.
Chen Tianlong, holding Wu Mengting, ran over to see Madman Li, discovering all his meridians were severed and he had stopped breathing.
Miserable, truly miserable!
Chen Tianlong was amazed; what kind of person was that just now, so formidable that he could defeat a five-star Celestial Dao soul with hardly any effort and finally kill him.
At that moment, besides being surprised, he was still astonished.
"Mengting, why did you call that person ’Dad’ just now?" Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered Wu Mengting’s words.
"Ah? I... I might have mistaken." Wu Mengting thought for a moment and said.
"Oh, Mengting, you don’t have to be afraid, try to remember why you firmly believed he was your dad. You couldn’t have just blurted it out for no reason." Chen Tianlong felt this matter was not simple; Wu Mengting must have seen something that triggered such a response.
"The clothes... Right, that set of clothes, I bought it for Dad. And I felt that he just was Dad; after living with him for over ten years, I feel a strong sense of safety and warmth whenever I’m close to Dad." Wu Mengting began to recall.
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong frowned. Although it was dusk, Wu Mengting might have seen wrong, but what she described as feeling was unrelated to the light.
Could it be that this person was truly Mr. Leng?
With doubts, Chen Tianlong dared not be certain, just thinking that he should carefully ask when they return to South Sea City next time.
"Alright, maybe it was a mistake." Chen Tianlong smiled wryly. Just as he was about to hold Wu Mengting and leave, something underfoot tripped him. When he looked down, it turned out to be something wrapped in a cloth bag.
Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered something, hurriedly bent down to pick up the bag, and when he opened it, he was a bit surprised.
"Wow, it’s actually the Divine Cauldron, that’s great! I thought that old geezer hid it." Wu Mengting obviously noticed it too and was happy as well.
Chen Tianlong nodded, took out the Divine Cauldron, then sat down on the stone slab and began to observe it.
"Chen Tianlong, have all your injuries healed?" Wu Mengting suddenly remembered Chen Tianlong’s previous injuries and asked with concern.
"Mm, all healed." Chen Tianlong smiled at Wu Mengting, then continued to focus on studying the Divine Cauldron. Feeling a bit tired, he decided to sit for a while longer before heading down the mountain.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong was very excited to see the Divine Cauldron; he wondered if this thing could truly refine pills. If it could, he wanted to ask Master Li Tianyou to try making a batch of pills and then give each of those girls a few so they could all become cultivators without fearing being bullied in the future.
Chen Tianlong began to observe carefully. The cauldron was divided into two layers; the top layer was covered with a lid that easily came off with a pull, while the second layer contained some mysterious sand.
At this time, Chen Tianlong put his hand into the Divine Cauldron and touched something, quickly grabbing it out. Upon seeing it, it was actually a small user’s manual. The manual wasn’t made of ordinary paper but was a parchment scroll.
Chen Tianlong was taken aback, eagerly opening it. It was a manual about operating the Divine Cauldron. At this moment, Chen Tianlong was so excited.
"Chen Tianlong, what is this?" Wu Mengting moved over adorably and timidly asked.
"This seems to be the operation manual for this Divine Cauldron, haha. It seems we can refine pills ourselves." Chen Tianlong said happily.
"Wow, really?" Wu Mengting was instantly delighted upon hearing this.
"Yes, really. Once it’s made, I’ll give some to Bingshuang and also to you and Liu Ting to eat, so you can all become cultivators." Chen Tianlong shared his plan.
"Yes, yes, and when I become a cultivator, I’ll beat those bad guys." Wu Mengting said through gritted teeth, waving her little fists and cursing.
"Haha." Chen Tianlong looked at Mengting’s cute appearance and felt very content.
Having someone like Bingshuang as a companion in this life, dying would be worth it.
Chen Tianlong turned back to continue reading the manual. Although it was called a manual, it was just a piece of parchment folded in half, so he directly opened it and began to read.
"This cauldron is one of the wonders of the Immortal Realm, named the Divine Cauldron. It’s very simple to use: inject the Divine Cauldron with Powerful Qi of Five Elements attributes. Each attribute needs two hours of infusion, and substitutions or switching cannot exceed five minutes. Once the attributes are complete, the refinement of pills can be finished."
"This Divine Cauldron can refine various types and levels of pills, including Qi Gathering Pill, Great Rejuvenation Pill, Foundation Establishment Pill, Super Qi Gathering Pill, Super Great Rejuvenation Pill, Super Foundation Establishment Pill...."
After reading, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath. At this moment, he finally understood why it was so hard to refine pills, because it required the continuous and uninterrupted infusion of Qi of Five Elements attributes.
It’s important to know that in this world, practitioners with a Five Elements attribute are very rare, let alone someone who can infuse the Divine Cauldron with Powerful Qi continuously for ten hours.
Normally, a Celestial Dao expert can withstand five hours of qi infusion at most, so how can you deal with the remaining nine hours?
So, the difficulty lay there; everything else wasn’t any problem. But what the Celestial Pill Sect didn’t know was that the person with the Five Elements attribute was here, and that would be Chen Tianlong.
Knowing all this, Chen Tianlong didn’t delay further, letting Wu Mengting carry the Divine Cauldron while he stood up, picking up Wu Mengting onto his back, "Hold on tight, we’re heading down the mountain."
