Chapter 383: Cleanse Filth
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
A powerful beast like the Space Whale could actually be slain. Although Danxia Zi had not said anything about the actual strength of the beast, it was easy to imagine the immensity of its abilities just by the fact that it could establish a space in its body!
But such a powerful creature had been killed by Mount Longhu's predecessors. One could only imagine how powerful those Heavenly Masters had been!
And during that period of time when experts were plentiful, many dynasties had actually managed to rise up. Bei Feng could not understand how those dynasties were established in those times. It couldn't be that each dynasty was so strong to a perverse level that no one could oppose them, right? Otherwise, there was no reason that they would all be destroyed in a few short hundred years.
Regrettably, the past events had all been buried by the river of time. How many people still knew about the things that happened so long ago?
This pocket space was about one kilometre long. A miniature mountain range sat within the space, with towering trees stretching endlessly into the distance. There were even many species of small animals.
At the heart of the pocket space was a small lake. Numerous fat koi fishes swam lazily through it as they ate.
Bei Feng exhaled a breath and said, "What an amazing otherworldly paradise!"
The Ling Qi in this pocket space was even at least 10 times stronger than in the outside world!
From the looks of it, this Space Whale was the core of Mount Longhu. All the formations were laid around it with it as the heart.
Danxia Zi shook his head and said, "It is indeed an otherworldly paradise. However, this place is not as amazing as you think. After all, it's not perfect. The most glaring point, as you might have noticed, is that there's no water source here at all."
The existence of this pocket space did not come to be because the Heavenly Masters were so strong that they had the ability to open a separate space.
Instead, it was that this Space Whale already had such a space in its body, allowing them to modify it. If not for the Space Whale, the Heavenly Masters would not have been able to create this pocket space!
Bei Feng's eyebrows twitched slightly as he looked at the lake before him. An image of a huge water pipe snaking to here from the outside surfaced in his mind.
In the beginning, his heart was filled with shock. But in an instant, he felt much better.
At the foot of the miniature mountain range, numerous ancient mansions could be seen, stretching far into the distance. At the peak of the mountain stood another Heavenly Master Hall.
This place was like an otherworldly paradise under Tao Yuanming's (Jin dynasty writer and poet) brush. Everyone was walking around with long hair and ancient dressing.
Numerous people turned around as they spotted the two, before turning away again and ignoring them. They had obviously recognized Danxia Zi.
The strangest thing was that no one came over to greet them at all. Danxia Zi brought Bei Feng and passed through the common pathway, heading directly towards the mountain peak.
"Si, Mount Longhu's foundations are really no joke! If someone was really blind enough to think about attacking them, they would be in for a great surprise."
Bei Feng sucked in a breath of cold air. There were at least a thousand people living in this separate space. And a third of them were all Xiantian Lords!
Especially the number of their Dark Jing and Light Jing experts, such an amount of experts were enough to cause even the super-clans in the country to kneel before them!
As a Xiantian cultivator's lifespan was longer than Evolved Jing masters', those who had not broken through to the Xiantian realm had died while the Xiantian Lords from the past generation were still alive.
This was why Mount Longhu had so many Xiantian experts. And this accumulation was still under the circumstances where Mount Longhu was trying to save on their resources. One had to rely on their own abilities to break through to the Xiantian realm. Otherwise, even the sect head would not get a Dragon Tiger Pill!
The Dragon Tiger Pills were preparation for the future, when Heaven and Earth Ling Qi completely disappeared from the world. It was all for the sake of ensuring that the legacy of Mount Longhu would not fall.
"Danxia Zi pays his respects to ancestor!"
The Heavenly Master Hall in the pocket space was much smaller than the one on Mount Longhu, and was not even a tenth of the size of the real thing. Danxia Zi stopped outside and bowed respectfully.
"Come in."
An aged voice drifted over as the heavy door swung open slowly.
"Ge-ji…"
Bei Feng raised his attention as he followed Danxia Zi in.
'Motherf*c…'
In the huge hall, Bei Feng had an extremely ugly expression on his face as he cursed internally. Even though he had already been mentally prepared when he came in, he still received a huge shock!
Four elderly men sat upon praying mats. They looked extremely ancient, but their auras were extremely powerful, and even seemed as though they were in harmony with the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi!
What surprised him the most, however, was the huge rat at the front! The rat had a glossy dark fur which shone with a light sheen. Its whiskers were white, and it was as tall as a human. This rat was wearing a Daoist robe, and it wore a hair crown on its head. It sat upon a prayer mat and watched Bei Feng with its beady eyes.
From Bei Feng's perception, the four old fellows sitting below the huge rat were all Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts. And the one that caused Bei Feng to feel the wariest of was the huge rat itself. This rat was able to cause even Bei Feng to feel a sense of threat!
Bei Feng bowed lightly and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoists." At the same time, his gaze never left the huge rat.
The huge rat sitting at the top opened its mouth and said, "Fellow Daoist has come from afar, the few of us were slow in receiving you. Green Jade, go and bring the tea from my collection over."
Its voice was aged and calm, causing anyone who listened to it to feel a sense of tranquility.
Bei Feng felt his eyelids twitch slightly. What situation was this? That rat was actually one of the ancestors of Mount Longhu? And from the looks of it, its position was still very high!
"Fellow Daoist need not feel surprised. Mount Longhu is home to countless species of creatures, and any creature could grow and attain the Dao of longevity. I've grown up on Mount Longhu since I was born, and had received the guidance of the previous ancestors, accepted as a disciple. My Daoist name is Cleanse Filth," Cleanse Filth continued calmly as it noticed the strange look on Bei Feng's face.
"It was me who was near-sighted."
Bei Feng clasped his fist and bowed lightly. It was no wonder Mount Longhu had been able to attain their current level of strength. Such an ability to accept all, like the ocean enveloping a thousand valleys, not discriminating against all who come to them!
Any other sects would have long beaten Cleanse Filth to death. How would it be possible for them to offer guidance to a huge rat, even allowing it to assume the position of an ancestor?
"Ancestor, disciple has a matter that needs the approval of everyone."
Danxia Zi took out the spirit stone that Bei Feng had given him and passed it to Cleanse Filth.
At this time, a young Daoist returned with a tea set. Then, with practiced hands, he quickly brewed a pot of tea. An intoxicating smell spread out, and just a single sniff could rouse one's mind.
"Oh? There's no mistake, this is a spirit stone! Furthermore, the quality is very high!"
Cleanse Filth widened his eyes with shock. Immediately after that, his face changed. The agitated look on his face disappeared in a flash.
"Strong! This fellow is definitely not at the Controlled Dan primary stage only. At the very least, it's at Controlled Dan middle stage!"
Bei Feng estimated silently. Controlled Dan middle stage, this was the first one he'd seen on Earth!
Completely disregarding Bei Feng's shock, Cleanse Filth passed the spirit stone to the rest. The other old men also revealed agitated looks as they examined it.
"There's no mistake. This is a middle grade spirit stone. We have some low grade spirit stone with us as well, but regardless of the purity or quantity of energy, they are far inferior to this one!"
Everyone nodded as they discussed.
"My purpose here this time is to trade for some Dragon Tiger Pills, one spirit stone for one Dragon Tiger Pill."
Bei Feng directly stated his terms. Although he would suffer some loss in this trade, it was not a bad deal to suffer a bit of loss sometimes. The opportunity to establish a good relationship with Mount Longhu was quite good.
One could not always calculate everything based on the face value alone. Mount Longhu's actions and the way they carried themselves were things that Bei Feng liked.
For the big mission ten years later, Bei Feng still needed some allies to cooperate with.
"Ok!"
Cleanse Filth directly made the decision. Although Dragon Tiger Pills were precious, their value was much lower than middle grade spirit stones'.
At the same time, he remembered down Bei Feng's favor in his heart. Dragon Tiger Pills were only good for letting Evolved Jing masters break past the Xiantian barrier. Furthermore, that'd cut off the cultivation path of those that used one. But a middle grade spirit stone was different. If there was enough of it, it could even allow a Fake Dan expert to break through to the Controlled Dan realm!
And 50 middle grade spirit stones were definitely enough to let a Fake Dan expert who had never used spirit stones to reach the Controlled Dan realm!
