Chapter 998 - 996: Pill Ingredient Materials
This Chen Tianlong hadn’t thought about it before, but now that Wu Mengting brought it up, he felt a bit excited.
"And also, the Energy Stone... Senior Brother, it seems we have one." Liu Ting saw the Energy Stone and immediately remembered the jade pendant she had given to Chen Tianlong earlier. But upon reflection, that pendant is so small that even if used, it wouldn’t forge many items.
"Spirit Beast Pig Skin... Chen Tianlong, your Lightning Pig at home is a Spirit Beast Pig, right? But asking for its skin seems a bit cruel." Shen Yan grinned.
Just as she finished speaking, the atmosphere around them shifted.
Wu Mengting was initially taken aback, then she thought, "What does Teacher Shen Yan mean? She knows about Chen Tianlong’s Lightning Pig, does that mean she’s been to Chen Family Village? Oh my god! Chen Tianlong actually took a woman to Chen Family Village."
Sure enough, Wu Mengting glared fiercely at Chen Tianlong, as if to say, "You’ll be kneeling on a washboard tonight."
Chen Tianlong knew he was in trouble and quickly chuckled, "Ah, about that dead pig, right? Taking a little bit of its skin is no big deal, after all, its skin is thick."
"Oh."
Shen Yan, realizing she had been exposed, didn’t dare to speak further and sat awkwardly to the side.
The others didn’t quite catch on, and continued examining the materials, but Chen Tianlong was overjoyed and said, "I have a Qilin Pill, and it’s a big piece. Last time when I visited Yunfu, at the Qilin Cave, I cut a big piece from the Fire Qilin and put it in my bag. If it runs out, I can go and ask for more; I know where its cave is."
"Wow, Tianlong, you’re amazing." Lu Xiaoyu complimented.
Now Lu Xiaoyu was no longer as reserved; her feelings for Chen Tianlong were clear to everyone, including Wu Mengting. It was up to Chen Tianlong to decide what to do next.
"Chen Tianlong, now we’re just missing the Dragon Scale. Obtaining it might not be that easy, right?" Lin Wushuang, who had been silent, finally spoke. She had only read about Dragon Scales in novels or seen them on TV; they might not exist in the real world.
Chen Tianlong gave a bitter smile; he had seen the other items and knew how to obtain them, but when it came to the Dragon Scale, things were indeed more complicated. Forget whether dragons exist in this world; even if they do, Chen Tianlong wouldn’t dare take their scales.
There’s a saying that goes something like, "A dragon’s reverse scale is lethal; touch it and you die."
"Alright, these things can only be found if fate allows it; let’s go with the flow!" Chen Tianlong had come to accept it. If obtaining the raw materials for the Super Qi Gathering Pill was easy, the world wouldn’t have so few of them.
"Okay, then let’s go out and have some fun." Wu Mengting smiled slightly and leaned over.
They hadn’t yet enjoyed the attractions of Ice City since arriving, and it wouldn’t make sense to leave without having some fun.
"OK, Meijia, are you ready on your end? Let’s set off now." Chen Tianlong shouted towards Ouyang Meijia.
"I’m ready; everything’s prepared. We can set off now." Ouyang Meijia gave a wide grin and said.
Chen Tianlong nodded, and everyone geared up and surrounded the Yannian Snow Mountain, ready for a two-day snow mountain adventure.
Yannian Snow Mountain is a relatively underdeveloped area to the northwest of Ice Hall, not very prosperous. They set off from Ice Hall City, passed through the center of Ice City, and the two cars slowly drove northwest.
Evidently, the air here was colder, and the beauties couldn’t help but add another layer of coats, while Lu Xiaoyu wore a thin shirt, feeling envious of the others.
But Lin Wushuang was different; wearing three coats still felt cold due to the difference in attribute constitution.
"Wushuang, when we get off later, stick with Xiaoyu; I’ll cuddle you, and you’ll certainly feel warm." Lu Xiaoyu covered her mouth and laughed.
"Humph, you can try being all high and mighty; next time we visit the Fire Domain, I’ll make you feel like you’re melting." The two siblings started bickering again, but it’s this kind of scene that makes the atmosphere harmonious and filled with laughter.
Everyone was chatting and laughing without noticing that they had already reached Yannian Snow Mountain.
There’s a hotel at the foot of the snow mountain, specially prepared for tourists, with comprehensive facilities and comfortable accommodations, complete with heating. However, the price was very high.
But, hearing that the Ice Hall Master visited personally, the owner immediately offered a 50% discount.
The hotel was essentially unnecessary since Yannian Snow Mountain is so high and large, divided into five regions. If you truly wanted to climb it, going up and back would take a whole day.
Chen Tianlong was a bit torn about leading a group of beauties up the mountain; if they couldn’t make it back, they’d have to spend the night on the mountain. While that’s not a major issue, spending the night in such cold weather could freeze them.
"Chen Tianlong, let’s go up the mountain; everyone’s eager." As the official girlfriend, Wu Mengting took the role of the big sister and naturally spoke first.
Chen Tianlong nodded and led the group of beauties up the mountain.
The snow mountain was undoubtedly breathtaking apart from being cold, with trees shrouded in white, creating a magnificent sight. The peaks here were evidently more majestic and rugged than those in the south, mesmerizing in their view.
"Wow, it’s so beautiful!" The beauties couldn’t help but exclaim in unison.
Chen Tianlong grinned widely, feeling a strange sense of happiness watching the women around him enjoy themselves.
The eight of them didn’t dawdle and continued walking upwards, as it grew colder the higher they climbed, eventually snowing slightly. Chen Tianlong noticed the situation and frowned; this was not a good sign.
"Everyone, are we really going to the top? It seems dangerous," Chen Tianlong said.
"Hehe, of course; it’s a rare outing, Tianlong, let us go up." Lu Xiaoyu was unfazed since this cold had no effect on her, delighting in the circumstance.
"Yeah, we’re already here, let’s go up," Bing Ruxue added.
Chen Tianlong thought for a moment and said to the others, "Raise your hand if you agree; I don’t know if it’s dangerous up there, just making a suggestion."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw seven beauties raise their hands simultaneously.
This was trust, absolute trust!
Chen Tianlong gave a bitter smile; these girls trusted him too much, and he couldn’t possibly handle all seven at once.
However.
Chen Tianlong couldn’t spoil everyone’s fun, so he continued leading them up the mountain.
As they reached the middle of the mountain, the vegetation gradually shifted to coniferous forests, eventually becoming shrubbery at higher elevations due to the altitude, and the air grew much colder.
"Achoo!"
Lin Wushuang, with her fire attribute constitution, finally sneezed, and Lu Xiaoyu rushed over to hug her.
"Oh my, Xiaoyu, what are you doing? Everyone’s watching." Lin Wushuang blushed as though everyone was women; seeing her close friend hugging her made her uneasy, especially with Chen Tianlong present.
It seemed too intimate, would people think they were a couple?
"Hehe, it’s fine, Tianlong won’t get jealous." Lu Xiaoyu smiled mischievously.
"Oh."
Chen Tianlong felt a bit awkward, as Wu Mengting was right next to him.
