Rebirth of MC Chapter 187

CHAPTER 187: Ten thousand years Spiritual Resin

The shadow’s speed was extremely fast, but still it didn’t escape from Long Zhanye’s eyes. He slightly narrowed his eyes, faint golden grains twinkled from the pupils, inky black scales covering the left side of his face. The thing hiding behind the small hill was absolutely more terrible than that fang boa they previously met. Who could have thought that, in this inferior region of the Ferocious Beast Forest, unexpectedly existed such formidable creatures... However... he still didn’t put them in his eyes...

When Long Zhanye was attentively on guard, behind the small hill a figure slowly exited, very light steps, sharp claws armored with hooks, the ground’s soil was turned upside and down... it actually appeared to be a cat. One ought to say that it was a low level Wind Speed Cat Spiritual Beast, its body diffused a faint cyan veined pattern. Although the speed of this low level Wind Speed Cat was fast, but its attacks were not strong, and the thing staying behind the small hill, however, made Long Zhanye’s acute perception feel it was different. The Wind Speed Cat wasn’t likely to possess such a powerful qi breath, so the Wind Speed Cat before their eyes was quite odd.

“Zhan strong... māo (cat, chinese pinyin, I will leave this cuz it sounds better)” the little hand tightly tugged onto Long Zhanye’s jacket, Huo Zaiyuan lightly called out.

“It’s alright, I am here” while gently patting Huo Zaiyuan’s back to reassure him, Long Zhanye softly coaxed him, after his (Long Zhanye) gaze fixated onto the small hill, a head was showed (still the cat), its two eyes ruthlessly stared at the two people, a Wind Speed Cat revealing a ferocious expression.

The little one’s perception was becoming more and more sharp, ng, this was a good sign.

“Gugu... meowww!” suddenly, the Wind Speed Cat produced a screaming sound, the figure, quick like a storm, rushed towards Long Zhanye and Huo Zaiyuan direction. The speed of this Wind Speed Cat was faster than the average, and the momentum was even more powerful, but for Long Zhanye, it was merely a Wind Speed Cat and nothing more. He lightly squinted his eyes, amidst Huo Zaiyuan’s cry of alarm, Long Zhanye slowly raised his hand to give a slap, in the next second the arriving Wind Speed Cat was sent out flying.

One could only assume to see a Wind Speed Cat flying in midair forming a beautiful arc, its four limbs stepped on and again it faced towards Long Zhanye to attack him. Glaring at the Wind Speed Cat, Long Zhanye raised his hand in a flash, along a strong shadow flew out from his hand, he quickly tied the Wind Speed Cat, pulled its body and immediately tossed it around, he fiercely slammed it on the tree trunk and threw it out again. No matter how strong and fast this Wind Speed Cat was, Long Zhanye’s nasty way of attack threw it into confusion and disorientation.

Looking at the fallen Wind Speed Cat resembling a lump rag cat before his feet, Long Zhanye laughed evilly. The Dragon Scale used by him to pull turned out to be a whip, which he later used to drag that Wind Speed Cat when he had to walk towards the small hill. In the end, what was that thing which made the Wind Speed Cat become so fierce?

“Zhanye, this perfume...” while approaching the small hill, Huo Zaiyuan turned his head to look at that protruding hill and extended his hand to point at it.

“This is a stone, how can it smell, yi?” Long Zhanye observed the little one’s gluttonous expression, he couldn’t help but gently smile, when his hand was reaching for the stone, he suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: “Not right!, this isn’t an ordinary stone”

Mumbling, Long Zhanye stretched his hand to move away those thick layers of long vine plants covering the stone, exposing the true features of the stone. The dark shiny black crystal, at the touch it was ice-cold, the surface was smooth... it was the most rare Energy Stone ever in the cultivation boundary, but it was something that Long Zhanye was extremely familiar with. Because in those years he was banished into the Spiritual Pool sealed by the Dragon Clan... in order to guard the stone’s small hole, they used this type of spar. The spar possessed the ability to block any efficacy of qi breath and other functions. Those years this seal was one of the methods of his formation, this spar blocked his Dragon qi, as a result, after ten thousand years, he wasn’t able to discover that this seal was connected to the Spiritual Pool.

“Zhanye, the stone... fragrance below” Huo Zaiyuan imitated Long Zhanye and touched the black crystal with his small hand too, even his small face was close to the crystal. Seeing the shiny appearance of the black crystal, the little child happily smiled.

“Ng... this thing is made of a very special material, not easy to crumble” Long Zhanye knocked on the crystal, his sight fell on his own Dragon Scale turned into a whip, which immobilized the Wind Speed Cat, tied up like a Zòngzi (chinese food: https://images.app.goo.gl/fgAk85GauBThvZjj9). It was no wonder that this low level Spiritual Beast could have such a speed and a fierce momentum, it was obvious that underneath this spar something was sealed. But the qi of this thing flew down from the spar through a crack, and then it was found by the cat, therefore it decided to occupy this place.

In the end what was the thing under the black spar, it really made him feel incomparably curious...

“Hard, hard... move away, move away...” Huo Zaiyuan wouldn’t think so much like Long Zhanye, hearing that the spar couldn’t be destroyed, he thought of shifting it away, supporting the spar with his hands, he exerted himself to push it, his face reddened, but the spar didn’t move. This made Long Zhanye laugh.

“Hehe, how can it be easy to move it away, don’t be worried” Long Zhanye chuckled, he put down Huo Zaiyuan and then he passed the Dragon Scaled Whip in his hand to him: “Take it, I will first prepare an Isolating Boundary”

“Okay” Huo Zaiyuan held the Dragon Scaled Whip, perceiving the coolness and comfort from the centre of his hands, made him feel very comfortable. Obediently staying by Long Zhanye’s side, his attention was captured by the passing away Wind Speed Cat, tied up like a Zòngzi: “Māomāo...”

When the Dragon Scaled Whip was in the hands of Long Zhanye, the trembling Wind Speed Cat thrown on the ground would continue to shiver, but when it was Huo Zaiyuan the one holding the Dragon Scaled Whip instead, it unexpectedly stopped shivering. Using his dull blue eyes to look at Huo Zaiyuan, in the moment this child extended his hand to touch its head, its cat eyes slightly squinted, but surprisingly it didn’t have any signs of getting violent.

Long Zhanye used his own Dragon Scale as a medium to lay out an isolated boundary, just in case something below the black spar would fly out. When he finished to arrange the Isolating Boundary, Long Zhanye, looking at Huo Zaiyuan’s direction, discovered that when Huo Zaiyuan was stroking the Wind Speed Cat’s head with his ‘paw’, there was a splendid smile on his face. Confronting him (Long Zhanye), the fur of the cat’s whole body were on guard, right now the cat totally resembled a domestic cat, allowing the little child’s soft hand to stroke its head, letting out a cosy purr.

“What’s up? Little Yuan likes this silly cat?” Long Zhanye squatted down next to the little child, observing the original relaxed Wind Speed Cat, abruptly jump away, the Dragon Scaled Whip binding its body made him stumble on the ground, its image was rather stupid, it completely didn’t have the previous sort of momentum.

“Māomāo, I like it, Zhanye, take māomāo with us”

“Little Yuan likes it, then let’s take it away” caressing the little child’s head, he looked strangely at the Wind Speed Cat’s body, which made the sensitive Wind Speed Cat can’t help but make its whole body’s fur erect.

A person for their entire life could contract three types of Spiritual Beast, and the life and death of the same life could only be once (1), when there was a marriage in the human boundary (2), Long Zhanye used his own Dragon Soul to set a Life Contract with Huo Zaiyuan. And it was certainly absolutely impossible to bind this Wind Speed Cat with Huo Zaiyuan through a contract... no matter if it was a normal contract or a Life Contract, to be able to bind a Life Contract with Huo Zaiyuan, there was only one person, him, Long Zhanye.

He placed his two fingers on the Wind Speed Cat’s forehead, and caught sight of a black twinkle. The Dragon Scaled Whip tying up the Wind Speed Cat slowly loosened, the scared Wind Speed Cat of a moment ago, was now lovingly lying on the ground, it seemed like it was bowing before Long Zhanye.  

“Get up” Long Zhanye said with indifference, he extended his arms to embrace Huo Zaiyuan, and then he raised his left hand, gently saying: ”Little Yuan, please watch ge”

Afterwards, Long Zhanye, across Huo Zaiyuan’s surprised face, took that black spar, which couldn’t be moved neither broken, in the space. Suddenly, within the Isolating Boundary, golden rays of light emitted, dense Spiritual qi directly hit their faces.

“Fragrance...! Fragrance...!” looking at those golden rays of light, Huo Zaiyuan’s whole body tried to pounce over, fortunately Long Zhanye was holding him tightly.

“That is...” staring at those golden rays, Long Zhanye witnessed the Wind Speed Cat throwing itself in the bright and dazzling pit hole. When all of them vanished in the pit, that previously black spar taken in the space, once again settled itself exactly above the pit hole. Under the pit there was a passage, even if it wasn’t illuminated, it didn’t appear dim at all, very dazzling. The dense Spiritual qi filled the entire passage, Long Zhanye didn’t have much feelings, but both Huo Zaiyuan and the Wind Speed Cat were feeling a little high.

“I truly never expected that, this place actually contains Spiritual Resin... truly a treasure” Long Zhanye whispered, he put Huo Zaiyuan on the back of the Wind Speed Cat, letting him ride it. And then he stretched his fingers to test the wall (3), a piece of curry cold object fell in his hands.

Spiritual Resin, it was qi breath which merged together for thousand years and more, forming a resin-like material. Extremely precious... if impure Spiritual Resin emerged in the Cultivation Boundary, it would likely cause a storm. To his surprise, the Spiritual Resin here wasn’t impure, and from the touch and qi breath contained in here, Long Zhanye was sure that it was a very, very rare ten thousand years Spiritual Resin.

“Fragrant...! Fragrant...!” sitting on the back of the Wind Speed Cat, Huo Zaiyuan observed the Spiritual Resin in Long Zhanye’s hands. With sparkling eyes, Huo Zaiyuan stretched his hands forward to ask for some Spiritual Resin.

“En, here, for you, don’t put it in your mouth oh” he gave the Spiritual Resin to Huo Zaiyuan, Long Zhanye caressed his (Huo Zaiyuan) head, and when he saw his baby nodding while holding the Spiritual Resin, only then he his heart was settled (let go of worries).

Although the little one’s age was small, so there were many things he couldn’t understand, but he was quite well-behaved and obedient.

“Zhanye, there is still a lot of fragrance” holding the Spiritual Resin, looking far away into the passage, Huo Zaiyuan said in a small voice.

“Little Yuan likes it, then let’s take all the fragrances away, alright?” the corners of his mouth revealed a crafty smile, obviously Long Zhanye wouldn’t give up this passage’s very rare and superb product.

Possessing this ten thousand years Spiritual Resin, in the future when Huo Zaiyuan would step on the Taoism path, he would get twice the result with half the effort.
