Chapter 31 - 31: 31: Five Lotus Mountain

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Five Lotus Mountain was a unique power, a power that was famous for pill refining.

Divine pill refiners, who were usually unreachable, were everywhere on Five Lotus Mountain. Superior pill refiners, who were typically revered, were so numerous on the mountain as to be considered slight. It was as if they were dogs roaming around.

Even mediocre and bottom-tier pill refiners were treated like errand boys on Five Lotus Mountain.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Five Lotus Mountain was indeed an outstanding power that no one dared to provoke.

Could you guarantee that you would never need medicinal pills to heal, or use them to enhance your cultivation, or even to train your offspring?

Moreover, these pill refiners were fanatics. They could offer any tool to deal with an enemy, and all kinds of immensely powerful beings would intervene because of these tools.

The original purpose of this trip was to seek a solution to Ao Yan’s particular affliction at Five Lotus Mountain. Although it was a pretense, since they were

already here, they had to take a look around.

Soon, the group arrived at the foot of Five Lotus Mountain, a place where five mountain peaks were interconnected. Seen from the sky, the peaks and surrounding landscape resembled a lotus flower.

At the foot of the mountain, a group of seven people was already waiting.

“You old thing, you’re still alive?”

An elderly man with white hair, who looked like a stout peach, walked forward chuckling. He looked at Elder Jiang and said, “Impressive, you are still robust in your old age. I heard you took on a bright disciple recently, did you bring them?”

“Thanks to your good wishes, I might need a few hundred more years to die.”

Elder Jiang lightly smiled as he held LingEr’s hand: “This is my good-for-nothing disciple. She has been cultivating with me for just two years and can barely sense the Qi.”

The chubby elder opened his eyes wide, “Hoh, sensing Qi in two years at this age? That’s quite remarkable. Even the prodigies I’ve seen can’t compete, she could at least rank in the top five!”

“No, it should be top six.”

Elder Jiang felt a bit uncomfortable while speaking about this, and couldn’t help glancing towards Jiang Xiaobai who was trailing behind and whispering to Ao Cheng.

“Enough of that, let’s go inside and catch up.”

The amiable chubby elder led them into Five Lotus Mountain. As they passed through the mountain gate, the first sensation that struck them was the intense aroma of medicinal herbs. This was the unique scent of Five Lotus Mountain.

It was only when they entered that they realized Five Lotus Mountain was not like other sects. The place was more like a bustling town.

The roads were intricate, and stores lined the streets. Mostly they were pill refining houses and some herb shops, but there were also stores for miscellaneous household goods.

In summary, this place was no more than a small town dominated by pill refining houses.

Occasionally one could see people with sooty faces running out of the pill refining houses, followed by a muffled explosion, indicating a furnace that had been poorly controlled.

Jiang Xiaobai found all this quite fascinating. As someone who knew the Art of Pill Refining, he knew a thing or two about the process.

However, after a careful examination, he lost interest. These pill refiners seemed impressive, but to Jiang Xiaobai, it was nothing extraordinary.

After passing through the bustling area, they entered a more tranquil residential area, with a few large halls for welcoming guests.

The Dragon Valley was one of the top forces, so Five Lotus Mountain provided very high standard hospitality.

“Mortal, what do you think of this place? Pretty great, right?” Ao Cheng chuckled at Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai was nonchalant: “It’s okay, nothing too exciting.”

“Listen to you talk, this is the only pill refinement power within hundreds of thousands of miles. Particularly, the number of top tier pill refiners here is quite high. Even our Dragon Valley doesn’t dare to act recklessly here.”

“Should I be amazed by this pill refining process?” Jiang Xiaobai asked casually while examining the layouts and furnishings within the great hall.

Ao Cheng widened his eyes, startled by his words.

“You… you know how to refine pills too?”

Only a few people in Dragon Valley knew about Jiang Xiaobai’s skill. Since Ao Cheng usually avoided these matters he hadn’t been kept in the loop.

“Just a little, but speaking of which, the layout here doesn’t beat Dragon Valley in grandeur.”

“What do you expect? The dragon race is famously wealthy, even Five Lotus Mountain has to admit they’re better off!” Ao Cheng grinned widely, but then realized Jiang Xiaobai was purposefully diverting the conversation.

“Hey, mortal! You need to explain to me how you knew how to refine pills!”

Jiang Xiaobai ignored him. He had already found a quiet corner to sit down and started resting. Elder Jiang and Ao Yan went ahead to chat with the Pill Elder from Five Lotus Mountain.

Ao Cheng’s curiosity had been aroused by Jiang Xiaobai. He was itching to know more and couldn’t resist inquiring.

He sidled up to Jiang Xiaobai: “Mortal, stop bragging! Only people with exceptional talents can refine pills – people chosen by Heaven, so to speak. You think just because your cultivation talent is slightly better than mine, you can refine pills? What a joke.”

“So my talent is only slightly better than yours?” Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

Ao Cheng’s face flushed beet-red. He was left speechless by Jiang Xiaobai’s retort.

“Seriously, you can refine pills?”

“I only know a little, there’s no need to make such a fuss.”

“This is the territory of Five Lotus Mountain, a haven for pill refiners. Dare you prove it to me?”

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

“Okay, I’ll find a pill refiner right away and we’ll see. Even if you lose, it won’t matter. As long as you can refine a single pill today, I will genuinely admire you. What do you say?

Jiang Xiaobai, who had been feigning sleep, opened his eyes. There was an unnoticeable smirk on his face. Goal achieved. Now, it was his turn to play Ao Cheng.

“Let’s go, I have nothing better to do anyway.” Jiang Xiaobai casually agreed.

The two hit it off immediately, looking like perfect partners in crime, glancing surreptitiously at the chatting crowd before quietly leaving the hall.

The moment they stepped out of the great hall, Ao Cheng instantly regained his characteristic brash and haughty demeanor – strutting around.

“Come on, let’s go verify the truth with a pill refiner now,” he announced.

Completely oblivious to the departures, the people inside the hall continued their fervent conversations.

“Elder Jiang, why hasn’t the saint son of Five Lotus Mountain appeared? Is he engrossed with studying the Dao of the Pill?” Elder Jiang Three laughed.

“Don’t even mention it. Have you heard about the Clear-Transforming Pill that has recently appeared?”

Elder Jiang sighed and shook his head: “The saint son is bewitched. He keeps muttering about developing the Clear-Transforming Pill.. But even though this pill’s recipe is yet to be known, he insists on researching it!”
