Zhongnan Mountain!
A mysterious place located in Earth’s secular world, within China. Needless to say, ever since Ye Tianchen became a martial artist, especially as his cultivation realm increased, he learned more and more. The things he realized increased as well. The Mortal World is the foundation of the Martial Arts World; it is the basis for all cultivators. So, some seemingly absurd legends and myths in the Mortal World are not baseless. Some can even be verified as true, because the evolution of society to its current state has deeply ingrained a disbelief in the existence of people who can fly or disappear. Thus, people do not think those myths are real, and no one knows that it’s actually a world filled with slaughter and power!
Take the main peak of Zhongnan Mountain, Taiyi Mountain, for example. Why does the nursery rhyme ’Taiyi Mountain, full of treasures, no worry about illness, just grab some grass’ still circulate until now? Ye Tianchen suspects that many years ago, during Earth’s flourishing cultivation era, Taiyi Mountain was a mysterious place filled with various divine medicine spiritual grass. Some ordinary people accidentally obtained them, leading to the elimination of ailments and enhanced physical strength, which is why such verses were composed!
Driving along, it was Liu Rumei who held the steering wheel. Ye Tianchen had to admit, Liu Rumei’s driving skills were really excellent, akin to Speed and Passion, driving the Bentley supercar at great speed. From their morning departure until nightfall, Liu Rumei drove the car into the Qinling Mountains!
"Let me take over; you’ve been driving all day, and you must be tired!" Ye Tianchen glanced at Liu Rumei and said.
"Are you sure? I’d prefer to avoid any narrow escapes!" Liu Rumei said with a smile.
"Don’t worry. I may not be an expert at cycling, but driving is no problem!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.
Liu Rumei considered it; she’d indeed been driving all day and was quite exhausted. She parked the vehicle on the side, got out of the car, and stretched her muscles, saying, "Are we sure we want to enter Zhongnan Mountain overnight?"
"Yes, nightfall is the best time to move. After all, the mountain range around Zhongnan Mountain is guarded, and trying to drive in during the day is difficult. Moreover, I don’t want to invite unnecessary trouble!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.
"Alright, I’ve checked the route; there’s a scenic area ahead. Let’s rest there briefly and then depart!" Liu Rumei nodded and said.
"I wonder exactly where Yong Chun Tai is in Zhongnan Mountain?" Ye Tianchen pondered and asked.
"It’s probably in a Taoist temple, and I suspect that only on the main peak of Zhongnan Mountain, Taiyi Mountain, would there be some Taoist temples. But the exact temple where Yong Chun Tai is secluded, I don’t know!" Liu Rumei mused and said.
"As long as we have a rough idea of the location, there’s no problem. Let’s go!" Ye Tianchen said.
This time, Liu Rumei switched to the passenger seat, and Ye Tianchen sat in the driver’s seat. As soon as the Bentley supercar roared to life, it nearly shot forward, causing Liu Rumei to glare at Ye Tianchen and say, "Are you sure your skills can drive up the mountain?"
"Relax, it’s no problem!" Ye Tianchen patted his chest in assurance.
Indeed, Ye Tianchen’s cycling skills were terrible, but his driving skills were extraordinary, speeding towards the summit of Taiyi Mountain, the main peak of Zhongnan Mountain.
Taiyi Mountain, now developed as a tourist area within the Chinese secular world, is a place where common mortals can see the developed scenic spots. Yet there are some unseen areas, forbidden to ordinary people. These are deliberately protected spaces, rarely ventured into even by national personnel, making it a forbidden zone that even the government can do nothing about!
As Ye Tianchen drove, circumventing the winding mountain roads, he reached the summit of Taiyi Mountain and discovered another tourist area there, with a Taoist temple brightly lit. On the mountain top, there was lively activity with various snacks and delicacies, as well as some inns offering lodging to ordinary tourists. It wasn’t just Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei who reached the summit of Taiyi Mountain.
"It certainly is bustling here, why don’t we rest for the night?" Liu Rumei said with a smile after getting out of the car, observing the lively surroundings.
"I want to find Yong Chun Tai quickly..." Ye Tianchen looked around and said.
"Really? I also want to meet Yong Chun Tai, but where would we find her at dead of night? Besides, spending the whole night is not due to any urgent matters. Plus, didn’t you say we’re here for a vacation?" Liu Rumei asked, slightly annoyed.
Listening to Liu Rumei, Ye Tianchen glanced around, furrowing his brows slightly. To be honest, upon arrival, he had released a powerful divine thought, especially on this mountain summit, where he noticed mysterious energy fluctuations on other peaks. This surprised Ye Tianchen because Earth was long unsuitable for cultivation, and even the enclosed three major ancient martial worlds had increasingly sparse spiritual energy. However, on Taiyi Mountain, Ye Tianchen used his powerful divine thought to explore and found slight spiritual energy emanating from surrounding peaks, which truly shocked him. Zhongnan Mountain seemed not a simple place; relics from the Ancient Era, even the time of antiquity, have left remarkable traces. Ye Tianchen now wondered, would he make some discovery here?
"Hey, are you listening? Should we stay the night?" Liu Rumei glared at Ye Tianchen and asked.
"Alright, let’s stay the night and enjoy it with you!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Okay, you go book the room. I’ll have a look around; come find me later!" Liu Rumei said happily with a smile, beautiful indeed, really beautiful. Looking at Liu Rumei’s joyful expression, Ye Tianchen decided to keep her company for the night since she had truly worked hard for him and the Ye family, and deserved to enjoy herself!
After Ye Tianchen booked the room, he went towards Liu Rumei, discovering her buying something. He approached and asked, "What are you buying? Is this delicious?"
"Sugar-coated hawthorns, of course, it’s delicious! I loved eating them as a child and haven’t had them in years. Would you like to try one?" Liu Rumei picked up a stick of sugar-coated hawthorns and asked Ye Tianchen with a smile.
"These...better not. They’re kid food!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile and a nod.
"What do you mean ’kid food’? Try it, you’ll like it!" Liu Rumei said, handing Ye Tianchen a stick.
"Ah, I’d really rather not; I really don’t enjoy these childish things..." Ye Tianchen hesitantly responded.
"Come on, don’t be a spoilsport! We agreed to vacation together and have fun, so can you let go of your mental burdens?" Liu Rumei said with a bit of a playful pout.
Seeing Liu Rumei like this, Ye Tianchen, knowing how rarely she gets such moments, accepted the sugar-coated hawthorns she handed him and said with a smile, "Alright, I’ll enjoy it with you. Whatever you want to do, I’ll be with you!"
"That’s the spirit! Let’s see if we can find any good souvenirs to buy for your parents. Also, there’s Qianwen; if we return without a gift for her, she won’t be happy, so we mustn’t forget her!" Liu Rumei nodded while eating her sugar-coated hawthorns and said.
"That’s true; it’s quite a task. I’ll leave it to you since I really don’t know what to buy. I’ll foot the bill!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
"Don’t worry, leave it to me!" Liu Rumei nodded seriously.
That night, Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei had a wonderful time at the summit of Taiyi Mountain. Liu Rumei hadn’t had such a relaxed night in ages, always carrying her burdens from growing up in the influential Liu family. Becoming the most admired beauty in Capital City, many young men have been enamored since she was ten years old, continually breaking down the Liu family’s doorposts with marriage proposals. Later, she became the executive chairwoman of Sea King Group, making carefree enjoyment almost impossible. How could she just do whatever she wanted?
For Ye Tianchen, this night was special too. Even though he’s lived in the secular world for years, such carefree enjoyment as tonight was unprecedented, with Liu Rumei allowing him to experience many new things, offering genuine happiness and relaxation, a rare moment of joy.
Unintentionally, Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei had spent a long time playing, getting somewhat tipsy—though it was Liu Rumei who was truly drunk. As for Ye Tianchen, with his alcohol tolerance and cultivation, most drinks couldn’t intoxicate him, unless it was Monkey Wine, a unique elixir.
Eating barbecue and drinking wine, life was this pleasant. Liu Rumei’s tipsy eyes and flushed cheeks, under such ambiance and moonlight, appeared so beautiful. Especially with her captivating eyes, Liu Rumei gazed at Ye Tianchen as if she had something to say...(To be continued.
