Chapter 189: Dragon Tiger Pill On Mount Longhu!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Lin Qingya and Wu Xiaoli were childhood friends, and their families had a pretty good relationship as well. Both of them were also students at Chengdu University.
Lin Qingya had come along on this trip as Wu Xiaoli was on vacation, and she had invited her out to play.
But who knew that Wu Xiaoli had actually found herself a boyfriend! Lin Qingya thought that she was going on this trip with her best girl friend, but only found out that she had turned into a third wheel when she arrived.
But since she was already here, there wasn't any point complaining about it.
Now that Lin Qingya had spoken up, Su Bai and Wu Xiaoli also stopped talking about the car. They turned their attention to other topics.
Lin Qingya furrowed her brows lightly as she observed the two. The more she looked at it, the more she felt like the boyfriend her best friend had found was not a good match for her. Furthermore, she disliked the way he kept looking at her.
‘Who would have thought that even though I was just fooling around, I'd actually find a nice surprise here?’
Su Bai's eyes were lingering on Lin Qingya most of the time. As for Wu Xiaoli, he only responded to her perfunctorily when he so pleased.
‘In terms of poise or looks, this girl stands out well. I'll definitely gain a lot of face bringing her around!’
Su Bai thought with a chuckle. As he compared that Lin Qingya with the girl clinging onto his arms, only knowing how to bug him to buy her purses and cosmetics all day long, he suddenly felt a sense of repulsion.
The two jeeps sped along the road, quickly disappearing into the distance.
At the same time, at Mount Longhu, a large number of tourists was stopped outside of the scenic areas.
"What the hell? We've come such a great a distance. On what basis can you block us just by saying that the scenic area is closed? You didn't even issue any notice about this beforehand!"
A tourist demanded. As soon as his words landed, everyone also raised their voices in support.
"Are you doing this on purpose to raise the entrance fee? You're trying to inflate the entrance fees, right?!"
A middle-aged woman stepped out and scolded huffily.
"Apologies, everyone's trip today had been made in vain! The scenic area is under renovation right now. It will only be reopened in an estimated three to five days!"
The manager of the tourist scenic area stepped out and stated loudly.
"Bullsh*t! If it's like that, how come those people are allowed to go in?!"
A man spat angrily as he pointed to the parking lot at the side. All kinds of luxurious cars were parked there, and the people exiting the cars were directly allowed onto the mountain.
"Isn't it because they have money? I'm not lacking this bit of money. I'll give you one thousand more yuan. Let me in!"
A large-bellied, bald-headed man opened his wallet with a disdainful gaze.
Seeing this, the manager was rendered completely speechless for a moment. He could only reply meekly, "Those people are all part of the construction team, and are here to help with the renovation works."
Even as he said that, the manager could feel his face burning as he saw the incredulous expressions of the crowd. But on the surface, he still had to appear confident. ‘It doesn't matter if you believe me as long as I believe myself!’
The manager was actually also feeling very depressed at this moment. This matter could not be blamed on him! Although he was the person in charge on the surface and he looked incredibly powerful, he was actually just a lackey in reality! Since the real boss had spoken, he could only come out here and take the sins of the boss upon himself.
The crowd was completely speechless. This manager was really too thick-skinned! Those people arrived in luxurious cars, but you actually have the face to say that they were construction workers?
"What should we do, Brother Zhen? The scenic area is obviously not open to the public right now. Should we go back?"
A young man asked as he looked at his group of friends.
"Right, it's the same if we go somewhere else to play."
Another girl said. But, her words contained a trace of disappointment.
"I say, four-eyes, aren't you going to do anything? You're always boasting about how impressive your dad is. Why don't you try that now?"
"Young Master Liu, please wait a moment. Today, we're definitely going in no matter what!"
Seeing that even Liu Zong had spoken, Tang Zhen patted his chest and guaranteed. This Young Master Liu's family background was not simple! They were a solid three generations of government officials!
If he could get into the good graces of this person, it might not be impossible for his father's standing to be boosted!
"Are you the person in charge here? My father is the Head of Tourism for Lingxi Town! I'd like to see if you dare to block me!"
Tang Zhen felt like he'd been slapped across the face by this incident. He'd taken the initiative to invite a bunch of youngsters with impressive family backgrounds out here to play, but they’d actually been stopped outside of the place?
"Oh? Your father is the Tourism Secretary?"
Zhang Xiaofan asked as he regarded the four-eyed fellow before him.
"That's right! Did you submit a report beforehand to close the attraction privately?"
Tang Zhen stated coolly, as though he had everything under control.
"Then tell your father to come here and say that himself! Guards, come here and escort these people away!"
Zhang Xiao Fan was already carrying a bellyful of fire. And now, even the son of an insignificant official dared to strut around before him so arrogantly.
In that moment, no matter how Tang Zhen struggled, he was still chased out by two security guards.

Atop Mount Longhu, in a heavily guarded temple hall, Danxia Zi had taken the leading position personally. In his hands, the Vast Sun Disk was emanating a dazzling glow.
With him were eight other old and eccentric-looking elderly figures. These elderly figures looked a little frail, but they were actually all peak Evolved Jing Masters!
This was the true strength of Mount Longhu! As a major power with a legacy of thousands of years, their strength was deep beyond measure!
The world only knew that Mount Longhu had Danxia Zi, a single peak Evolved Jing master. But those that were present in the center of the great hall right now already numbered nine!
As for the rest of the people surrounding them, there were already over fifty Evolved Jing masters! This was a true major power! Such a fighting force would be sufficient to cause all the people on earth tremble with fright!
And right now, such a terrifying lineup was just used to secure the four corners of the temple hall. One could see that there had to be an extraordinary person in the temple hall to command a formation like this.
"Abbot, have the arrangements for the guests been settled?"
The elderly figures sat cross-legged at each corner of the temple hall. A thick, raspy voice suddenly sounded out from one of them. That voice sounded like it was tinged with a thick aura of death, as though its owner was going to die any moment.
"Don't worry, Uncle Master, I've already arranged for the disciples to receive the guests and bring them to their rooms."
Danxia Zi did not dare to delay in his answer as he replied respectfully.
"Ai, there hasn't been even one birth of a single Dragon Tiger Pill in our Mount Longhu for three sixty year cycles. Even the world had forgotten that pill refining is our true forte!"
The old man sighed. It was truly too difficult to obtain ingredients to practice alchemy in this kind of environment!
Three sixty-years cycles, 180 years. It was through the efforts of two generations of people that they could find enough ingredients to concoct a single batch of Dragon Tiger Pill!
The Dragon Tiger Pill’s only use was to help martial practitioners breakthrough to Xiantian realm! A single batch would usually only produce nine to twelve pills!
This meant that each pill potentially represented a Xiantian realm expert! Of course, breaking through using the Dragon Tiger Pill would result in the martial practitioner being halted forever in the Xiantian realm. These people would have no further hope of ascending to the next level!
Even so, Mount Longhu was still filled with frenzied people buying up all the ingredients to concoct these pills.
Naturally, the majors powers could not expect to have a dazzling disciple in every generation. At the same time, not every generation would hold a genius capable of breaking through to Xiantian realm. This is where the usefulness of the Dragon Tiger Pill came in. It ensured that there would definitely be at least one Xiantian master every generation to oversee the Temple, and prevent the Temple's teachings from being lost!
Within a corner of the temple, a guest elder took out a cauldron leisurely to begin refining pills. Danxia Zi and the rest were keeping watch.

For almost the entire journey, Su Bai and Wu Xiaoli never once stopped talking. They were so disruptive that Mystic Six felt like directly stopping and throwing them down the cliff.
"Recently, my dad just signed a new contract with Daxing Corporation. Once that deal is completed, my family's income will soar sharply, almost reaching an amount close to a hundred million yuan!"
Su Bai said boastfully.
"Wow, how impressive!"
Wu Xiaoli's eyes had almost turned into stars, and her heart leaped. That was a second generation rich kid all right. He was definitely the perfect husband material! She definitely had to grab him tightly within her hands!
Immersed in her fantasy, she did not even realize that her boyfriend was looking at Lin Qingya as he said that!
"How much further?"
Bei Feng opened his eyes and asked.
"Boss, there's still another 41 kilometers."
Mystic Four looked at the map on his smartphone.
"En, tell me when we've arrived."
Bei Feng nodded lightly. Although he seemed to be sleeping very peacefully on the surface, he was actually studying the Pill Apprentice manuals in his head.
