Long Zhanye smiled while touching the incense burner with his slender fingers: “Little Yuan, we cleaned a treasure”
Huo Zaiyuan looked at the happy Long Zhanye with a puzzled expression, he rested his chin in his hand and said: “This incense burner doesn’t seem special”
“Incense, incense burner…” listening to Huo Zaiyuan’s words, Long Zhanye’s mouth twitched: “Little fool, this furnace is a celestial utensil ranking Pills of Immortality furnace. That stall vendor wasn’t able to recognize it and sold it off like trash”
“Celestial utensil!!” Huo Zaiyuan was stirred up, his eyes were glistening.
“That’s only natural, if not how could I have bought this kind of thing” he put the furnace in Huo Zaiyuan arms and then hugged him: “With a good furnace, your success rate will increase by a lot, and the speed of your practice will be quick”
“En” Huo Zaiyuan nodded his head and held his {Lzy} waist: “I will try hard to advance, so we can resume my memory”
……
On the next day, senior brother Dan Xia led them back to the Jade Void Mountain. Huo Zaiyuan and the replaced Gu Linyuan (Long Zhanye), Xu Ruoming and Lu Rong were busy doing this and doing that. After half a month, it was over. Incited by Long Zhanye, Huo Zaiyuan entered in the space, shut off from the outside world and started to concoct Pills of Immortality, rising other Taoist Sect people’s doubts. Long Zhanye would magically change in Gu Linyuan and be busy with Huo Zaiyuan. They never dropped any homework assigned by the teacher. In this way, time slipped away. In the blink of an eye five years passed.
In those five years, thanks to the pills, from the third layer Huo Zaiyuan finally broke through the Spiritual silent phase/period, very close to the gold cinnabar phase {stage is better but I will correct later}. In the gold cinnabar phase, because the Taoist internal alchemy needed a great amount of Spiritual qi, even absorbing the Spiritual qi in the space, he was afraid that he couldn’t bear this price, therefore Huo Zaiyuan left the space before than planned.
{So difficult to translate…}
Five years were nothing but a moment a glory for the Taoists. From refining qi phase to spiritual silent phase, Huo Zaiyuan only used 15 years. If not for his special gong ti and returning to childhood, 15 years wouldn’t be enough to break trough the heartbeat phase {?}. Leaving the aptitude out, that pace was even more unable to do anything. His special gong ti, coupled with hundreds years old Spiritual Grass and cinnabar medicines of the best quality helped him pass through the Spiritual silent phase. Supposing to break through the gold cinnabar phase, reaching the Yuan… now it still wasn’t sufficient. He must seek for more superb cinnabar methods and higher ranked Spiritual Grass… and then he could.
{So, normally Taoists wouldn’t be able to advance so quickly, but because Huo Zaiyuan has some special features, he was able to. But Huo Zaiyuan still has to rank up higher, so he need the best materials}
A feeling of impulsiveness/restlessness was brewing in the bottom of his heart, Huo Zaiyuan couldn’t help but frown, his heart in turmoil… haste brings no success… don’t think about it anymore, if he went on in this way, he may be bewitched by his demons, landing in the witchcraft… After repetitively trying to calm down his restless heart with attention, Huo Zaiyuan spitted out impure qi. And then he sat-crossed on a stone bed to cultivate for 5 whole years, therefore when he got up, there were no traces of fatigue. He was in high spirits and came down from the stone bed.
From when he broke through the third layer, Huo Zaiyuan recalled many past experiences related to the past Huo Zaiyuan, although memories of Tianqi were still hazy, but it was enough…
As soon as he left the cave, a majestic shadow quickly pounced over him. In those five years, Huo Zaiyuan wasn’t the only one cultivating. Even the Wind Speed Cat thrown inside the space by Long Zhanye… from the height of one meter, without Long Zhanye’s strength, the Wind Speed Cat grew up to more than two meters. Faint cyan patterns were circulating on its body, showing that its cultivation surpassed any other Wind Speed Cat.
“Hehe, be good ó, Zhanye and Luer have come back?”
“Meow” the Wind Speed Cat licked Huo Zaiyuan’s face, and then shook its head: the two people still haven’t returned.
Five years ago, when Huo Zaiyuan decided to cultivate in the space in seclusion, Luer left the space for the Ming household, not assured about the reincarnated Liuying… after five years, he didn’t know if they found Liuying Sword’s other half or not. Five years ago he wouldn’t have cared about Liuying Sword, but now he has already recalled many memories, as a result he had some memories of the sword… he sighed when he thought about the cute appearance of his disciple.
En, he wasn’t certain on when he could leave the Jade Void Mountain again, at that time… he must take a look… Five years, he didn’t know how much that child has matured, en… five years, they should be the same, soft and plump…
While Huo Zaiyuan was thinking about his disciple, a shadow flickered in the space and Long Zhanye appeared. When he saw Huo Zaiyuan standing on the Bamboo House door, he smiled and then threw himself over.
Huo Zaiyuan’s mouth twitched when he saw a Taoist disciple wearing an orange robe throwing himself over with a happy smile.
“Little Yuan!!” Long Zhanye kissed on Huo Zaiyuan’s cheek. Afterwards he realized that the one in his embrace was looking at him with surprised eyes: “…”
“Zhan… Zhanye” Huo Zaiyuan was curious and laughed. He held Long Zhanye’s waist: “What happened? Why you are wearing those disciple clothes?”
In general, disciples of the Jade Void Mountain wore common clothes, except for extraordinary disciples or when there was a large-scale event in the sect. At this moment Long Zhanye was wearing disciple clothes, no wonder Huo Zaiyuan was surprised.
“Half a month later, the second most dangerous Boundary of the Cultivation Boundary will open/be unsealed. Right now the sect is holding a competition, the winner can get the opportunity to enter in the dangerous Boundary. I want you to reach the gold cinnabar phase and get prepared to enter in the Boundary and fetch some Spiritual Grass” Long Zhanye was emitting some dim lights from his body and gave a soft kiss on Huo Zaiyuan’s face: “I was convinced you would continue with cultivating in the space, why did you suddenly come out”
“I wanted to reach the gold cinnabar phase, but I don’t have Spiritual Cinnabar aiding me, therefore…” Huo Zaiyuan showed his tongue.
“En, can’t be hasty when practicing. You are already extremely amazing. Just in time, the dangerous Boundary has opened, how about we go together and take a stroll, it’s going to be our honeymoon…” Long Zhanye made a crafty smile: “When we got married in the Human Boundary we couldn’t spend our honeymoon, we were exploded by the zombie and arrived here”
“I still haven’t restored my memory, and definetely don’t remember being married with you… who… who wants to spend the honeymoon with you” Huo Zaiyuan’s face reddened even more, pushed Huo Zaiyuan away and then entered in the Bamboo House.
Being shy.
“Ai… you aren’t acknowledging it, this isn’t right” Long Zhanye followed him in the Bamboo House, hugged him and the immediately kissed on those red lips.
In those five years, Long Zhanye has longed for Huo Zaiyuan a lot, so right now, how could he let go of the person who just went out in front of him. He sighed heavily, pulled down his Taoist clothes to hold Huo Zaiyuan, and then quickly walked towards the Dragon Pool.
Very well behaved Huo Zaiyuan wore the clothes and then exited from seclusion {?}, Long Zhanye didn’t need to magically change into him to deceive the public, this time he transformed into Gu Linyuan and together with Huo Zaiyuan, they happily left the space.
After five years the Jade Void Mountain didn’t have many changes, Huo Zaiyuan was still familiar with it, but Huo Zaiyuan sharply realized that… his fellow disciples were a little but different towards him, he just needed to appear together with Gu Linyuan (Long Zhanye) and the would always hide away.
“What have you done in those five years?” looking at the disciple sitting and standing far away from him, Huo Zaiyuan faced Long Zhanye sitting next to him.
“What have I done? What’s up?” a certain innocent face opened his mouth and took a bite of the bun with vegetables, and then exclaimed: “Ai, I have eaten Taoist Sect’s vegetables for many years and still can’t get used to it”
“Zhanye!!” Huo Zaiyuan rarely would burst into rage: “Don’t divert the attention, this is useless towards me!”
Look, the naive child has become clever, wanting to change topic, adult Long obviously wasn’t effective: “È, it seems so ó” Long Zhanye paused, licked his lips and then slowly said: “Darling, what could I have done, I can’t beat them with your appearance, it’s clearly their problem, I am really innocent”
“En, it seems so” Huo Zaiyuan carefully thought, feeling that Long Zhanye’s words made sense. He nodded his head and then plead: “I am sorry, I misunderstood you”
“It doesn’t matter, I won’t take it seriously, quickly eat, the competition is in this afternoon” Long Zhanye laughed and showed his tongue.
It’s better for Huo Zaiyuan to not know what he {Lzy} has done in those five years la.
