Chapter 468: The Grand Integration of Physics and Immortal Spells
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Time passed by quickly, and a month had flown by before everyone knew it.
An Lin’s stuffed bun business had come to a bit of a bottleneck, and there were occasional days when he couldn’t sell all of his stuffed buns.
In fact, he had only earned a little over three million spirit stones in forty days. This was a pitiful amount…
If the other students were to hear about An Lin’s sentiment, they would probably bash his door down in rage.
Right now, An Lin’s net worth had exceeded sixteen million spirit stones. This was a massive wealth that left many of the Return to Void Stage mighty figures in the dust. However, this wasn’t really worthy of note.
What was worthy of note was the fact that Xiao Hong had somehow managed to suddenly breakthrough to the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage. In the process, she had also attained her own domain.
This was a domain that was enshrouded in golden light. Xiao Hong was the sun within this domain, and she could summon many friendly monks, bah! Sorry, she could summon many exquisitely beautiful clones!
An Lin felt like this domain was very powerful. However, he didn’t really understand what was going on in Xiao Hong’s mental world. All he knew was that her aptitude for cultivation appeared to be the best among his group of beast pets.
An Lin gifted the Blood God Jade to Xiao Hong to help her consolidate her domain. From this day onward, Xiao Hong stood atop the Blood God Jade to photosynthesize day after day, year after year…
…
“Competition was the best impetus for improvement”—this saying couldn’t ring truer in the case of Xuanyuan Cheng.
He immediately applied for leave after being dealt heavy blows by both Xu Xiaolan and Su Qianyun. During this period of leave, he returned to the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect to go into seclusion.
Just like that, a month passed by. However, he still hadn’t returned.
He had initially announced that he was going to enter seclusion for a month. However, it appeared as if there were a change of plan, and it seemed like he wasn’t going to return to school until he achieved a breakthrough in rank.
In the end, after a total of forty-nine days, he finally came out of seclusion amid a massive explosion!
Xuanyuan Cheng stepped out of the mystic realm with tattered clothes and charred skin. His handsome face was also as dark as coal.
However, his eyes were extremely bright, and they glimmered like never before.
An Lin elatedly went to greet Big Brother Cheng upon his return to the university. In the end, however, he was forcefully dragged into a sparring match by Xuanyuan Cheng.
A few minutes later, both of them returned to their rooms with their clothes in tatters and their faces as dark as coal…
Even to this very day, An Lin was still unable to understand how someone as graceful and as elegant as Big Brother Cheng could attain this kind of domain. He felt like he had been swindled into agreeing to the sparring match!
“Holy f*ck! Big Brother An, did a bomb blow up in your face? Woof!”
Da Bai’s eyes widened in shock when he returned to the dorm and saw An Lin.
“Yeah, I was caught up in an explosion,” An Lin admitted.
“Master appears even more handsome after the explosion! Master has an even bolder disposition now! Howl!” Little Lang instantly sidled up to An Lin and piled on the flattery.
The White-Scaled Wolf God had transformed into a furry little wolf and was staring up at An Lin with an obedient expression.
After residing with An Lin for so long, he had already figured out that An Lin liked small animals. Hence, he transformed into this cuter form in order to better appeal to An Lin.
It had to be said, An Lin was very happy with his makeover.
He ruffled Little Lang’s white fur with a smile on his face. “Good boy!”
Little Lang gazed up at An Lin with big, watery eyes as he wagged his tail and stuck his tongue out in a display of obedience.
Da Bai was immediately struck by a sense of danger upon seeing this. Xu Xiaolan had already stolen so much of the love and attention that had belonged to him, but that was to be expected. Was he going to have his spot in An Lin’s heart overtaken by Little Lang as well now?
Wouldn’t that mean… that there was a very strong possibility that he would be allocated less stuffed buns from now on?!
No, I can’t let this happen no matter what!
Da Bai’s mind raced as he strode up to An Lin with a fawning smile. “Big Brother An, I found a really good place within the university. You should take a quick shower, and I’ll take you there afterward, woof!”
“Where is it?” An Lin’s interest was immediately piqued.
A mischievous smile appeared on Da Bai’s face. “That’s a secret. You’ll know where it is once we get there! Woof!”
It had to be said, Da Bai’s words ignited the flames of curiosity in An Lin’s heart.
An Lin took a quick shower and threw on a white robe before riding into the sky on Da Bai’s back.
Da Bai flew An Lin to the summit of a tall mountain. This was the fifth tallest mountain in The United University of Cultivation—the Crimson Sun Mountain.
The Crimson Sun Mountain really wasn’t special in any way. It wasn’t as beautiful as the Full Moon Mountain, the scenery was inferior to the Azure Dawn Peak, and it didn’t have as many sheer cliffs as the Steep Face Mountain. Perhaps the only thing special about it was how remarkably ordinary it was. As such, there were very few students who came to explore this mountain.
“Why did you bring me here?” An Lin asked with a perplexed expression.
“For the scenery, woof!” Da Bai chuckled.
An Lin looked around to find vast expanses of greenery as well as intricately crafted divine abodes in the distance. The scenery was indeed quite nice.
An Lin: “…”
“Da Bai, do you think I have nothing better to do?” An Lin sighed as he looked at Da Bai. “I’m disappointed in you…”
“Big Brother An, there really is scenery here! Look at that mountain! What mountain is that? Woof!” Da Bai yelled as he pointed to a tall mountain a few kilometers away.
An Lin looked in the direction Da Bai was pointing in. “That’s the Full Moon Mountain… Why?”
Da Bai slashed his claws through the air, and a puff of clouds and mist started to appear between the two mountains. Then, the puff of clouds and mist started to ripple like a pond of water.
Immediately afterward, the clouds and mists transformed into a mirror that reflected the scenes occurring on the Full Moon Mountain.
“Cloud mirror density adjustment, visual angle adjustment, zoom in, resolution enhancement, applying one-way filter…” Da Bai waved his paws through the air like a magician as an image slowly started to appear on the surface of the cloud mirror.
An Lin looked at the image, and his eyes finally widened as he sucked in a sharp breath.
Da Bai smiled wickedly again. “Big Brother An, tell me what you see now.”
“T-the Moon Pond!” An Lin stuttered with excitement.
“Hehehe… this is the most renowned hot spring in the entire university, and many female students come here to bathe at night… I applied a one-way filter to the cloud mirror so that it looks just like a normal cloud from their perspective. To us, however, it looks like a high-resolution magnifying mirror…” Da Bai boasted with a smug smile.
He firmly believed that Big Brother An would enjoy this scenery.
Sure enough, An Lin turned to Da Bai with astonishment on his face. Then, he sighed with emotion. “This is the perfect integration between physics and immortal spells… It’s genius!”
He suddenly felt as if he were a peeping novice. This was how a master went about his peeping!
“Big Brother An, do you like this scenery? Woof!” Da Bai asked with a smug smile.
“I do!” An Lin turned his admiring gaze upon Da Bai.
“Then let’s wait here for night-time, woof!” Da Bai continued triumphantly.
A thought suddenly occurred to An Lin. “Wait, wouldn’t it be too dark to see a clear image at night?”
Da Bai shook his head. “That’s not a problem. I can use a brightness enhancement technique, and the quality is still pretty good. Trust me, I’ve already done this for three days. Woof!”
An Lin nodded before suddenly coming to a realization.
“Da Bai… you said you’ve been peeking for three days already?” An Lin asked with a cold smile. “Why did you only think of me now?”
Da Bai’s body shuddered, and he hurriedly explained, “I-I was just testing the waters for you! Woof!”
“Heh… Isn’t one day enough to test the waters? Why did you wait until three days later to invite me? Besides, what if Xiaolan were to come and bathe here? Would you peek on her too?!” An Lin’s expression had completely darkened, and a fearsome killing intent radiated from his body.
“Big Brother An, I definitely wouldn’t do that! Xiaolan hasn’t come here to bathe in the past three days! Liu Qianhuan, Su Qianyun, and the others haven’t come either! I swear on my life that I would never peek on someone we know! Woof woof!” Da Bai hastily explained as if his life depended on it.
“Stop talking nonsense and eat my fist!” An Lin roared in rage.
Thump thump thump… bang bang bang… clatter clatter clatter… puff puff puff…
A long while later, Da Bai lay on the ground with his face badly beaten and his eyes swimming with tears.
“Big Brother An… I swear that I’m loyal to you,” Da Bai proclaimed pitiably. “The first person I thought to share this beautiful scenery with was you… You have to believe me… woof!”
An Lin kept his eyes fixed on the cloud mirror and didn’t say anything.
Da Bai crawled up from the ground and sniffled. “Seeing as Big Brother An doesn’t like it, then I’ll get rid of this cloud mirror! Woof!”
“Wait!” An Lin yelled.
Da Bai blinked his big, watery eyes. “???”
“Let’s wait for night-time. I want to see some scenery after all.”
An Lin clasped his hands behind his back as he stared at the image of the Full Moon Mountain with a calm expression.
Da Bai: “…”
