Within the carriage, Long Feng's mind turns back to about five weeks before the current time, where himself and Nan Jing Jing is accepted as the transfer student from Clear Jade City to the Thunderburst Jade City. Within the Bronze Pill Hall, Long Feng couldn't have a single day that passed without any challenges from numerous fellow inner disciples.
Most of the challenges came from the bottom populations within the Inner Division Branch, and since the challenges are initiated under the reason of Competition in Dao of Pills, competitions in the Understanding of Refining and Tempering, Long Feng have no reason to not accepting the challenges when it comes to his doorstep every single day.
But the main purpose is, the other disciples are bearing the intention to obtain the Recipe of Tiger Stripes Soul Pill belonged to Long Feng! Since their purpose is already well known to Long Feng, he decided to strengthen his resolution as he changes his challenging requirement to ingredient and recipe betting. Although Long Feng couldn't hold a record of total victory against all his opponent, so far, Long Feng managed to maintain his current records of 125 Wins and 5 Draws within the whole five weeks starting from the day he entered the Bronze Pill Hall.
With such a record of winning streaks, Long Feng naturally managed to win over plenty of ingredients he was always felt lacking, and along with the huge amount of ingredients, Long Feng even able to obtains some additional recipes and treasures from those challenges. Currently, within the whole Bronze Pill Hall in Thunderburst Jade City, Long Feng's position already firmly stands at the top ten most capable Inner Division Disciples.
But no matter what, within this Thunderburst Jade City Branch, there is still a total of 9 exceptionally skillful individuals that yet to make their appearance before Long Feng and challenge him to a match. Thus, due to this reason, Long Feng position is just standing in the tenth place, as the last among the ten most exceptional Disciples.
Among those treasures and recipes Long Feng obtains, he traded out some of them in exchanges for more varieties of ingredients he believes that it could be used efficiently as required. Since some of the most basic Battle Concoction and Medicinal Concoction already within his grasp, What Long Feng wished to have, would be those specialized recipes that could help him in various ways.
And this is why, in his hand currently, only three special recipes he deems incomplete is still remained within his hands, along with two of the special recipe given by Old Man Yu Men before he left the two in the cave. As for the explanation of the recipes in hand being incomplete, is due to the fact Long Feng had yet to personally revise and refine the Pill accordingly and adjust the method of refining the Pills.
First of all, the two Incomplete Recipes given by Old Yu Men is,
Essence Boosting Concoction. A four Ingredients Battle Concoction that allows an immediate recovery of Essence Energy during consumptions, and could be used without any limitations.
Sealing Pill. Another Four Ingredients Battle Concoction that will instantly stop the opponent from leaving the spot by trapping them within the Sealing Sphere. Unless the opponent is well versed in Body Strengthening Technique or possess amazingly deadly Weapon, breaking through the Sealing Sphere will be difficult.
And the remaining three Incomplete Recipes he still kept from winning all the challenges,
Needle Bomb Pill. A Three Ingredients Battle Concoction that will have the effect of the scattered shot, where the rain of needles will directly affect the opponent's battle capability when hit.
Fire Lizard Pill. A Four Ingredient Battle Concoction that will ignite and burn like boiling hot lava when sufficient amount of Yang Energy is injected into the Pill. The loser of this recipe owner is believed to be nicknamed as "Lizard Flames Peng Yu".
Frozen Yin Mist. The final Four Ingredient Battle Concoction that won from the challenges Long Feng accepted during his period of being a transferred disciple within the Thunderburst Jade City Branch. This Battle Concoction easily explodes upon contact, and good to disrupt the Yang Essence around the user when needed.
Immersing himself in the memories and all the experience he had gone through in this five weeks, Long Feng had himself well tempered in various perspective, with the intention of strengthening himself in Mind, Cultivation, Experience, as well in the way he accepts the condition and restrictions placed by other people with strength above him.
Although within the five weeks of arduous training and facing challenges from other Inner Disciples, this doesn't manage to disrupt in his preparation works of fitting himself with a good amount of Pill Master's personal weapons. Not only he managed to obtained enough points to enter the Tower of Knowledge to view their quality recipes to prepare some special battle concoctions, in the same time, Long Feng managed to obtain more information related to his Sky Elemental specialties.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
One could only say that, within this short period of time, Long Feng actually force himself to devour all the existing information and knowledge that he could about this mortal world. Except for Nan Jing Jing and Hong Yue, perhaps nobody will know what is within his mind, and how much suffering and hellish trial had been placed on this fragile young ten years old body of a child.
The carriage continues on its way across the Five Cities Intersection, passing through two among the three Inns under the three Bronze Hall jurisdiction. But instead of initiating some conversation with Nan Jing Jing and other disciples, Long Feng continues to immerse into his own deep thought, and spend most of his time to revise his current understanding in terms of Pill Usage, Pill Refining, and his own excel in various type of Martial Arts.
Currently, because of the few dangerous encounters before in the Tri-Lightning Forest and the exchange before entering the Thunderburst Jade City, Long Feng childish mind is forced to enter a deep realization stage, as he pushes himself to conduct himself with a more stern behavior as he continues to grow. Even Nan Jing Jing and Hong Yue could felt some changes in Long Feng, especially when he was to communicate with others unrelated to him.
Once, Long Feng actually make a two days trip towards the Tri-Lightning Forest again after he had fully prepared himself to face the attack from the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolves Tribe. Although he had yet to meet the Great Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf, Long Feng end up with a victorious feat that quickly became the main topic to be discussed within the whole Thunderburst Jade City, and creating an even louder name wherever he went within the city.
"The Pill Master Li from the Bronze Pill Hall single-handed slaughter around 50 Demon Blood Nightmare Wolves before he returned to the City with a body reeks of blood." The appearance of Long Feng that time gave a few guards before the city gate nightmares continuously for few days, and from that moment, Long Feng's daily challenges had subsided as well, from usually five to six in each day and becoming only barely two to three in a day.
Out of sudden, the path in front of the Carriage is being blocked, as the four Thousand Li Travelling Steads is being controlled from continuing its path. In front of the carriage, a total of at least 2000 strong bandits from the Man Si House is blocking their path without any reasons to be discussed, and with each cry, they are demanding that either the Carriage turn around and go back, fight to their death as they continue on their journey, or pay up a hefty price to use this path.
"The trees along this path is planted by the Man Si House. The cleaned road for the carriage to goes through is managed by the Man Si House. The beast that attacks the travelers, is handled by the Man Si House. If anyone wants to go through, leave half of your traveling expenses here!" One of the strong fighters belonged to the Man Si House speaks.
Besides this strong fighter, a total of another four Late Earth Adept Realm cultivators, including Tai Pan. This strong fighter is called as Niu Sha, wielding a heavy axe as his weapon. As if they had already received their order, the 2000 strong bandit group finally take their approach to charge towards the Carriage contains 200 Inner Division Disciples from the Thunderburst Jade City's Bronze Pill Hall! Without giving up on their own hard earn wealth, all two hundred disciples couldn't hold in any more of this disrespect, and charge out from the carriage as the fight started.
Similarly, the other three Bronze Pill Hall from Jade Ginseng City, Cloudy Jade City, Xuan Wu Jade City is blocked by other Bandit Strongholds in between their path. As if the order had been given to each single Bandit Strongholds, each carriage with their own respective member actually starts to get involved in a fight, and the clash between weapons starts to be heard throughout the whole Five City Intersection!
While everyone is fully enraged within their mind to fight for the path towards the Clear Jade City, Long Feng firmly stands on top of the carriage along with Nan Jing Jing and remembered a word from Lang Ren before their departure.
"Do not underestimate the timid and friendly Clear Jade City will easily allow the other Inner Division Disciple from the Four cities to entered the City so easily. Once you finally managed to see the ugliness between the Righteous and the Evil, you will finally notice that behind each single superpower sect, there will be a part of the undisclosed truth that well hidden from everyone, in order to strengthen their positions."
"Trust nobody, except yourself! This is the choice you must be made as a Cultivator that have the intention to exceed this empty shell confining you within! Because in order to protect the Thunderburst Jade City from any threat, even myself will cooperate with any superpower to protect my people and my own interest!" Lang Ren's advice kept appears within his mind as Long Feng is looking at the fight between two sides.
"Wife, are you interested to join the fight?" Long Feng is keen to obtain Nan Jing Jing's decision before he decides. But as she looks directly into Long Feng's eyes, she muttered the word, "No". With such answer from her, Long Feng decides that they will not take any action unless they are provoked. The two of them sit comfortably on top of the carriage as they look at how the Inner Disciples fought with the bandits using numerous type of weapons, Pills, and other treasures.
Although the Bandits doesn't have any extremely strong fighters within their ranks, with the odds of 1-10, the Inner Disciple slowly have their numbers thinned, from initial 200 participants into 180 left within 30 minutes of fighting. Nan Jing Jing has some urge to help, but after being held to the same spot by Long Feng, she understands one main reason for them to not participating unless provoked.
"If one doesn't possess the basic instinct to properly protect themselves, then nobody will be able to protect them from facing their own calamity when the time has arrived! This is the Ugliness of the reality to survive and live in this world!"
Plus with Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing past experiences, this situation could be only described as "Already Been There, Already Seen That."
With the number of Inner Disciple finally reach 140 of them left, with many is injured among them, Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing finally decided to make their move. "Husband, Let us take our action now." Nan Jing Jing stands as she charges towards one section with the less number of bandits. While Long Feng slowly takes his move and stands up as he cracks a few bones within his body, and speaks his mind.
"Hong Yue, you're allowed to take an action. Whatever treasure you hauled, will be totally for your own consumptions." Long Feng speaks in his mind, as the fights from another end are started to break out. As he receives the order from Long Feng to act, Hong Yue immediately make his move, appearing from the forest and with both claws, he killed two bandits instantly as his jaw is aiming for the next one close by.
Looking at Nan Jing Jing fighting with the Qian Kun Soul Wheel in a beautiful and mesmerizing body movements, Long Feng decided to start moving as well, with around ten different Pills within his both hands.
