《Master of Jade Cauldron》Book 1 Chapter 62 - Preparation for the Thousand Herbal Garden!
Advertisement
The duo searches around the area for some foods and water supplies, before they decided to leave the cave for good. Since the Old Man Yu Men had already left earlier before this, added with the initial intention is to bring Hong Yue returns to the Thunderburst Jade City is a half success, the two of them decided to slowly explore the forest as they head toward the outer area.
After a full day of random walking and fighting with some Lightning Flash Wolves, Long Feng finally managed to obtained some important information from Hong Yue, who understands the Hierarchy of this forest after listening and obtaining the portion of memories from the Cultivation Beast he had eaten and killed. Within the world of Cultivation Beast, they too have the ability to understand, feel, and express themselves, thus if Long Feng and Hong Yue managed to met the Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf now, perhaps their tricks will be all exposed by Hong Yue as they fought, and Long Feng could have a 50% chances winning if forced to face four of the wolves once again.
A total of four different area is divided within this Tri-Lightning Forest. Each area is ruled and treated as a territory of each King, and in total, Four different Ferocious Beast Kings is controlling the whole Tri-Lightning Forest, managing their tyrannical power by totally controlling all the other Cultivation Beast within the area of their commands. One of the locations where Long Feng first stumbles upon is known as the Totemic Forest, the only area that wasn't bombarded by Lightning Strikes at all time.
This forest is controlled by the two Great Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf, a stronger and older variant of the normal Demon Blood Nightmare wolves. If one would treat the Demon Blood Nightmare wolves as an outer disciple of the family, then the Great Demon Blood Nightmare Wolf would be the Core Disciple rank within the family hierarchy.
The next area other than the Totemic Forest is a widespread grassland with blasted rocks and resides by at least hundred thousand of herbs across this 500 Li wide grassland. It is named as the Lightning Strikes Arena, where only Cultivation Beast with strong lightning resistance could reside. This area is also under the jurisdiction from one of the Four Ferocious Beast Kings, the Thunder Raging Rhinoceros.
Next, is the Largest mountain zone that was the core habitat of more than ten kinds of cultivation beast, and also one of the Ferocious Beast King's tribe. This Mountain is spread all across the north, covering even the location around the Northwest and Northeast into its territories. With a total of 1200 Li wide, the Lightning Peak Mountain is controlled by the Devil Howling Ape Tribe, who is also one of the four kings among the Tri-Lightning Forest.
Lastly, is a serene Lake within the middle of the Tri-Lightning Forest. Although the Lake only covered around 200 Li of lands within the whole forest, the Thundercloud Reflection Lake, is not a place where one could let down its guard. The only reason this area seems serene and calm is due to the final one among the four kings, the rumored to be strongest among all Four Ferocious Beast King, the Blood Armoured Giant Horse.
It is said that the first three among the four kings is at their Peak Adept Realm Cultivation, while the last among the four kings is at his Human Practitioner Realm Cultivation. In a total, this Tri-Lightning Forest with a total of 2200 Li worth of Lands, is one of the most prosperous forests that could allow any cultivators from the human world to step in to challenge, but not a forest that would easily allow the challengers to leave as they want.

With the cave location is already far away from the Totemic Forest, Long Feng and Hong Yue quickly escapes from their initial location and heads towards the forest exit. But escaping from the Totemic Forest Zone doesn't indicate that one will immediately enter into a safer area. Only about an hour after the duo left the area of Totemic Forest, they had already reached another territory belonged to the Thunder Raging Rhinoceros, known as the Lightning Strikes Arena.
Within this 500 Li Grassland, abundant medicinal herbs could be seen along each single steps made, but what is more challenging within this grassland, is the randomness of the Lightning strikes, that randomly hits the ground at least five times every step the duo takes. Even the most daring Pill Master might have an issue of bravado within this land that will easily rob them of their life if they couldn't control their greed.
Long Feng and Hong Yue ignores the visual attraction each plant gave along their way, to ensure a full safety along with their path. But the due luck could be considered quite good, especially when they barely managed to escape from the close call Lightning Strikes, at least ten times along their path. The duo carefully continues their journey, until they finally managed to found a side area that is well surrounded by small rocky mountains.
By escaping into the small rocky mountains range, the duo could temporary hide from the rage of Lightning Strikes, while recuperating some of their loss of Essence Energy used during their evasion and the extremely wide range of Elemental Shield when crossing pass the Lightning Strikes Arena. In the same time, Long Feng finally understood the reason why even if it's a fluke news regarding the Mirage Thunder Bamboo would cause Old Yu Men to travel over to this forest.
Only by successfully refining the [Lightning Tribulation Pill] only one that cultivates in Thunder Element could calmly face this kind of Breaking through challenges. But as the two finally turned around to look at the path behind them, they are immediately pushed into another deep state of shock. The Rocky Mountain Path that is assumed to be safe from the Lightning Strikes, is actually a grazing spot for those Infant Stage Thunder Raging Rhinoceros!
If it only merely five or ten of the Infant Thunder Raging Rhinoceros, Long Feng and Hong Yue could still easily get across the obstacle, but this sight before them, is actually a school of at least 200 Infant Thunder Raging Rhinoceros scattered all around along the Rocky Mountain Path, with some is laying on the ground, some sleeping, some is playing with others, and some is paying attention is channeling the Thunder Elemental Strength within its body.
Finally accepting that the escape path is no longer possible, the Duo decided to force their way across this Grazing Rocky Path, and help themselves to create a new path of life! Long Feng wield his sword tightly with as much Wood Element covering his body as he could and charge straight towards the obstacle. Even Hong Yue is forced to withdraw all its claws on both leg and hands, so he could fight in a wilder appearance.
The battle between 100 aggressive infants of Thunder Raging Rhinoceros against a Human and Beast Partner! Thunder strikes everywhere as the battle follows, and with each step Long Feng and Hong Yue took, the harder is the challenges as the number of Thunder Raging Rhinoceros waking up from the commotion is increasing. The moment where almost all of the Infant Thunder Raging Rhinoceros is finally waking, Long Feng and Hong Yue finally successfully pass the tall rocky wall at the end of another side, and successfully escape from the combined attacks!

"Master..." Hong Yue slow down as he tried to catch a breath. Looking at the tired Hong Yue, Long Feng too decided to catch a breath himself and prepares to the next upcoming challenges. "Master, I heard what few of the Thunder Raging Rhinoceros are speaking with each other just now." Hong Yue finally open up on the conversation between those Thunder Raging Rhinoceros. But as he exposed it to Long Feng, both of them have no choice but to laugh out hard enough, because the conversation is totally unbelievably childish!
"Finally some human comes to let us train our Thunder Elemental Art."
"Is this human somebody caught by mother and father for us to shock them up?"
"Come play with us!"
"Hong Yue, don't let Jing Jing knows about this matter." Long Feng had Hong Yue to keep this as a secret. As he heard the instruction from Long Feng, Hong Yue immediately covered his mouth with both hands, and the two of them continues with the journey, until exactly seven days, Long Feng finally managed to get out from the Tri-Lightning Forest. Looking at the two, Nan Jing Jing worried expression starts to become lighter and happier, as she runs to the two and gives them a big hug.
Long Feng return a hug to Nan Jing Jing and ask for forgiveness because of making her worries about both of them. But Nan Jing Jing pushed away from the matter, because no matter which side of her and Hong Yue happened to be in trouble, Long Feng will never hesitate to act alone. This is also the reason why she followed Long Feng without questions and gave him her full support.
As the three of them returned to the city and received a two day of rest, Long Feng and Hong Yue's injuries finally healed. But instead of planning to return to the Clear Jade City, Long Feng decides on one extremely important matter. From these few days of temporary residing within this Thunderburst Jade City, Long Feng noticed the difference in his personal improvement, the quality of population within the city, as well the distribution of the superpowers within the city.
Just because of this few different matters that believed to be able to push him further in his path of cultivation, Long Feng politely request for Lang Ren's assistance in proceeding with the relocation of students request. Since the Five Cities Bronze Pill Halls freely allows their students to be transferred from one Hall to another, added with Lang Ren's special request, the procedures required to complete the transfer happened to goes smoothly, where before the end of the second week, Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing had already received the letter of acceptance directly from the Thunderburst Jade City's Bronze Pill Hall.
At the same time, due to the newly found fame from concocting the Tiger Stripes Soul Pill, Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing actually immediately had been enrolled into the Inner Disciple Branch without further requirements. And when on the first day of entering the Inner Division Hall within the Bronze Pill Hall in Thunderburst Jade City, Long Feng actually felt that the atmosphere within the Inner Disciple Hall is much more pressured, havoc, and aggressive!
If it was to compare, the Clear Jade City is basically friendlier than normal compared to the competitive condition within Thunderburst Jade City! Barely one full day within the Pill Hall, Long Feng had already encountered at least five Pill Martial friendly exchanges, and also five Pill Refining Friendly exchanges between the inner disciple students. Although the amount of their bet is not too large to be compared with Long Feng's wealth, the feeling of competing against similar peers among the Hall, gave Long Feng a reason to not behave himself properly.
With the competition and friendly match between the disciples are heading to such a situation, Long Feng would be a fool if he doesn't make a full use of it. In his mind, as long he could utilize such a pressure within this Bronze Pill Hall to temper himself as well to properly groom himself to prepares for the upcoming Thousand Herbal Garden Opening, there will be impossible for Long Feng to not obtained a spot within!
From that day onwards, a total of 5 weeks exactly passed, where Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing finally prepares to travel back to the Clear Jade City, which is the location where the competition to select the top 100 disciples within the five Bronze Pill Halls will be conducted. Since the competition topics will remains secret until the day of competition starts, the lesser he would worry about what question will be coming out within this competition.
In the same time, Long Feng wished to see what kind of inner Division among the five Bronze Pill Hall have in their hand, and how close is him towards being the top disciple among all of them! With his newly obtained strength of Early Earth Adept Realm, Long Feng can't wait to reach the Clear Jade City earlier, and prepares himself well before the next day!
"I heard that the Silver Pill Hall will be the judges for the competition this time! I wonder what rewards will be given if we managed to obtain the spot to enter the Thousand Herbal Garden!" Nan Jing Jing happily guesses the rewards as the carriage that carrying around 200 Inner Division Disciple from the Thunderburst Jade City is moving past the Five Cities Intersection.
But never would they imagine, that the path toward Clear Jade City, is no longer as easy as how they previously journeyed through before. and the only reason is that this time, it is a properly arranged obstacle!
