Chapter 170 Mountain Forward
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately flapped his wings, took some spiritual food and delicacies, placed them on the ground, and then had Shan Wu erect an isolation barrier, saying, "Godfather, we are very honest and never cause trouble."
Let me start from when we parted ways. Come on, let's talk while we eat.
But you must listen to my story to the end. You cannot get angry and interrupt me halfway through. I promise that I am cautious in my actions. Although some things were risky, they have all been resolved and turned out to be good things.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to amass such wealth; I would have been stewed and eaten long ago.
Upon hearing this, Shan Zhongfeng sat down and began to eat and drink while listening to Ji Rong speak.
Ji Rong skipped over the parts that couldn't be said and went on to explain the rest in detail.
When Shan Zhongfeng heard that they had released the ancient shamanic lineage, he felt his blood rush to the top of his head.
When he heard that they had broken the seal of the ancient great shaman, re-entered the desolate sea, and merged the ancient shaman lineage with the desolate sea demon lineage, Shan Zhongfeng felt that this bird was extremely audacious.
When he heard that they had sought the protection of the Canglan God, and that the Canglan God had incorporated the Desolate Sea Witch Tribe into the Canglan territory before his collapse, he secretly sighed at the Witch Tribe's good fortune.
When he heard Ji Rong vividly recount how two gods had attained enlightenment in the Canglan Mountains and waterways, and how the Canglan God was beaten to death by a boy from Guangyang Palace after the divine banquet, he felt that the events Ji Rong described were like waves crashing into the sea, full of ups and downs, and he sighed in his heart that he could not witness them with his own eyes.
Then Ji Rong said, "After the collapse of the Canglan God, my brother and sister were taken up by the God of Celestial Phenomena, Juejun. I couldn't bear to go, so I thought of coming to seek refuge with you."
Shan Zhongfeng squinted and said, "These are indeed not major issues. What about Brother Shan Wu?"
"I used to be the mount of the Canglan God. After the God passed away, I came to seek refuge with you, brother, with my niece."
It's common for a deity to be replaced by another mount when the deity is gone. Moreover, Lord Canglan has always had a good reputation, and his successor, Lord Aogu, was personally promoted by Lord Canglan. There shouldn't be any problems.
Thinking this through, Shan Zhongfeng decided to vouch for Shan Wu and Ji Rong. He glanced at Ji Rong and Shan Wu and said, "Yu Xu Palace doesn't allow outsiders to enter and leave at will. Brother, do you know how to use fire? If so, you can come with me to start a fire."
"Ji Rong, the Spirit Plant Room needs a young attendant, but this room requires growing spirit plants, which is hard work. Do you want to go?"
Ji Rong said, "If I go to the Spirit Plant Room and work in the fields every day, wouldn't I be unable to go to Da Dan City to buy medicine for you?"
"Father, although my fire magic isn't very good, I've learned a technique for alchemy outside. How about I offer it to you and then work as your assistant?"
Shan Zhongfeng thought for a moment and said with satisfaction, "In all of the Nine Provinces, there is nowhere better than the alchemy of our Jade Void Palace, but as long as you have this intention, the old man will surely be happy."
Seeing that Shan Zhongfeng agreed so easily, a situation quite different from back then, Ji Rong feigned surprise and said, "Godfather, have you been promoted now?"
Shan Zhongfeng nodded and wagged his tail, saying, "Back then, I used Huang Da's Dao Dan to refine a batch of excellent pills. My master said that my talent was rare and my medicine-making skills were superb, so he promoted me to serve by his side."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong couldn't help but shed tears and said, "My godfather is indeed a man of great talent. It's no wonder that Aunt Huang gave you even the Dao Pill."
Upon hearing this, Shan Zhongfeng also started wailing, but his tail wagged even faster.
In fact, Shan Zhongfeng's master went on to say something more: "When you refine pills, you only pursue the medicinal properties and completely disregard the effects on the consumer. If I were to promote you to become a pill refiner, Gu Lin would once again become a laughingstock among the eight pill refining rooms of Yuxu Palace."
"You must not attempt to refine pills on your own again. Stay by my side and observe carefully. You will graduate when you have mastered how to handle the medicinal properties of the pills."
Shan Zhongfeng has been here for a long time. Of the servants who were with him, those who didn't die have all become alchemists. They've been replaced three times, but Shan Zhongfeng is still here serving the master of the Kun Dan Room, Old Daoist Gu Lin.
However, Shan Zhongfeng's only problem was refining the elixir; his fire only improved with each passing year, and he also possessed a deep understanding of pharmacology. For many years, this tiger devoted himself to alchemy, with no other thoughts in his mind, and he was very obedient to Gu Lin.
Seeing that he handled miscellaneous tasks well, Gu Lin began to rely on him. Now, apart from watching the fire when the old Taoist Gu Lin was refining pills, all the new little medicine servants in the Kun Dan Room were first trained by Shan Zhongfeng before being sent to various places.
Although Shan Zhongfeng readily agreed, he was still somewhat hesitant as he led Ji Rong and Shan Wu toward the Kun Dan Room, thinking about asking Gu Lin to leave behind the tiger and bird.
He had mentioned bringing Huang Pinjie to Yuxu Palace in the past, but at that time he only thought about making Huang Pinjie a medicine slave. When his master found out, he was beaten and almost kicked out. Only then did he realize that his master was extremely disgusted with keeping medicine slaves.
As soon as they reached the outside of Gulin's quiet room, Gulin called out, "Feng'er, come in."
As soon as Shan Zhongfeng entered, he knelt down with a thud before an old man of the Celestial Race, pointing at Ji Rong and Shan Wudao: "Master, these are the sons of my old friend. They are not doing well outside, so they have come to seek refuge with me. I would like to ask them to help with the cooking."
The old Taoist priest sat on the futon, glanced at Shan Wu and Ji Rong, and said, "Recently, there has been a lot of activity in the various palaces. Their cultivation is not weak, so it would be a pity to keep them in our Kun Dan Room to tend the fire."
Ji Rong immediately knelt down and said, "Ji Rong is devoted to the Dao of alchemy and has a book on alchemy, but I cannot understand it, so I have come to seek a master."
Knowing that he lacks the fire of alchemy and has little talent in the art, he wishes to offer this technique and begs you to accept him.
"Oh?" Gu Lin laughed, "Where did you get this alchemy technique, young friend, that you are so confident?"
Ji Rong bowed again and said, "Rong was originally a guardian of the Wu tribe. He had a great shaman's way of sacrifice, and he bestowed upon Rong a chapter of alchemy from the ancient Wu tribe. He told Rong that all races could learn his family's method, as long as everyone could learn it. I am not talented, but I have memorized this method."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lin was indeed intrigued. The ancient witch clan had always been skilled in alchemy and poison.
So he lowered his eyes and said, "Feng'er, take the two young friends to the side room to settle down, and then come back to me."
Shan Zhongfeng followed instructions and settled Ji Rong and Shan Wuling in a side room. Then he quickly walked to Gu Lin's room, and without raising his head, he knelt down on the ground with a "thud".
Gu Lin sighed repeatedly as he looked at Shan Zhongfeng's appearance.
Shan Zhongfeng was one of the few ill-fated relationships he formed in his life. Taking Shan Zhongfeng back to teach him was a stain on his alchemy career!
Back then, he was young and just an ordinary alchemist in the Jade Void Palace, with a cultivation level of only the King Realm. In order to obtain a wisp of Yanming Fire Seed, he searched for many years and finally learned that there was such fire in the Roaring Mountain Demon King Mountain.
So he took note of it, and while the demon king Shan Youqing was giving birth, he sneaked up to Bozi Mountain, intending to kill Shan Youqing, the mother of the mountain's leader, to obtain fire.
He succeeded. Originally, he intended to kill Shan Zhongfeng, whose eyes were not yet open, as well.
