Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 286 Departure from Sanghai City

Upon hearing this, Xiaoling and Xiaoyi's faces lit up with joy.

As Leng Feibai's disciples, Xiaoling and Xiaoyi often ate at Leng Feibai's place.

The two of them knew perfectly well how good Leng Feibai's cooking skills were.

"You two, stay outside and keep your sect leader company!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he quickly walked into the kitchen, placed the ingredients he had brought back on the cutting board, and opened the cloth bag.

Large, plump chestnuts appeared in Leng Feibai's eyes.

Taiyi Mountain belongs to the Qinling Mountains, which are rich in natural resources, especially wild chestnuts.

When Leng Feibai was in Tianzong, he often sent his clones to search the mountains. They found many chestnut trees and even moved a few to the Hundred Herbs Garden of the Twelve-Story Building.

"Let's make chestnut stewed chicken today!"

Leng Feibai muttered a few words to himself and began his cooking.

Before long, a rich aroma of meat wafted out of the room and into the nostrils of the three people outside.

"Ok!"

Xiao Ling swallowed hard, clearly tempted by the aroma.

Just then, Leng Feibai pushed open the door and walked out, with four bowls of white rice and four plates of chestnut stewed chicken floating beside him.

Leng Feibai manipulated the bowls and plates, sending them flying to the wooden table in the courtyard.

The three of them stared wide-eyed at the fragrant chestnut stewed chicken on the plate.

Even Xiaomeng, who had been pretending to be reserved, moved much faster than ordinary people. She used the "Shading with the World" technique to flash to the seats around the table and sat down, staring straight at Leng Feibai.

"Eat up, what are you waiting for me to do!"

As soon as Leng Feibai finished speaking, the three people around him used the move "Hungry Tigers Pounce on Their Prey" and pounced on the still steaming chestnut stewed chicken.

Seeing the three of them, Leng Feibai didn't say anything and silently started eating the food in front of him.

After the four of them had lunch, Xiaoling pulled Xiaoyi aside to ask her some questions about mental cultivation techniques and martial arts before Xiaomeng sent her away.

For a moment, only she and Leng Feibai remained in the courtyard.

Seeing Xiaoling and Xiaoyi leave, Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief, got up and sat down next to Leng Feibai, boldly leaning against him.

"They're finally gone!"

Xiaomeng said angrily, "I wanted to spend some time with you, but these two guys ruined it."

Looking at Xiaomeng's expression, Leng Feibai patted her shoulder and said helplessly, "Alright, anyway, once we get to Sanghai City in a few days, I won't go anywhere else. I'll stay with you the whole time!"

Xiaomeng felt a warmth in her heart after hearing this and reached out to push Leng Feibai's chest.

The two sat quietly like that for an entire afternoon, until dusk when Xiaomeng finally left.

Leng Feibai got up and stretched, looked at the sky, then sat cross-legged and entered the inner realm.

"When will the Mo family arrive in Sanghai City?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the space inside the room trembled, and a fireball the size of a basketball appeared in Leng Feibai's eyes.

Leng Feibai exhaled lightly, raised his hand, and easily shattered the fireball.

"Three days later!"

Leng Feibai looked at the message coming from the fireball, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and quickly exited the inner realm.

"The storyline of Sanghai City will begin three days later."

As soon as Leng Feibai finished speaking, his gaze turned towards the direction of Xianyang.

To be precise, it's in the direction of the Yin-Yang School's territory near Xianyang.

The Yin-Yang School has made countless schemes for that so-called treasure, so I must be careful in dealing with it.

Leng Feibai pondered quickly and decided to wait until the Yin Yang School arrived in Sanghai City before having a proper talk with the Moon Goddess.

Having made up his mind, Leng Feibai cleaned up the dishes on the table, turned around, and entered the Twelve-Story Tower.

Inside the forging pavilion, Leng Feibai strode in.

Several clones were concentrating on assembling the mechanical beast in their hands. When one of them saw Leng Feibai arrive, he quickly put down his tools.

"Your true form, what brings you here?"

"Come and see how things are going!"

As Leng Feibai spoke, he looked at the half-assembled mechanical beast in front of him and asked curiously, "How is it? Is it still difficult now?"

"With the experience of two masters of mechanical engineering, assembling these things is no longer very difficult!"

The clone turned around and said, "Regarding the creation of the Divine Machine, we originally planned to choose Transformers, but considering that the next world is set in the modern era, we chose the Maximals and Predacons from Beast Wars. This way, it will also be easier for them to conceal their identities when sent out for reconnaissance."

Leng Feibai nodded after hearing this and said, "That's up to you, but what we need is strong combat power. So, when it comes to weapons, we must choose those with great power!"

"That's no problem!"

The clone suddenly perked up, saying excitedly, "The various books stored in the Myriad Scrolls have a wide range of uses. They also contain methods for making laser weapons and optical camouflage. We are also trying to add these things to the divine machines to greatly increase their power."

Leng Feibai raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, then said in a deep voice, "Then let's build two based on the appearance of the manta ray. Maybe this thing will come in handy when we deal with the mirage later! Also, the main focus of the divine machines we build should be the giant ones. As for the prehistoric beasts, Tyrannosaurus Rex and dinosaurs will suffice!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai turned and left the Forging Pavilion, heading directly to the Garden of Flowers in the Twelve-Story Building.

"There are still three days left, so let's get some rest now!"

Leng Feibai muttered a few words to himself, then took off his clothes and jumped into the hot spring. He leaned against the wall of the pool and quietly enjoyed the water.

Two days later, near dusk.

A streak of light flashed across the sky, and a figure descended from the heavens, landing in a dense forest outside Sanghai City.

As the light faded, Leng Feibai, having completed his disguise, looked around. Without a word, he walked towards Sanghai City. Not long after, Leng Feibai stopped outside an inn.

Above the inn hangs a blue plaque with gold lettering, which reads "Youjian Inn".

Leng Feibai looked at the plaque in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips, and turned to walk inside.

As soon as you enter, the waiter immediately greets you and asks, "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

"I'll stay at a hotel for about three to five days."

As Leng Feibai spoke, he took out a palm-sized bag from his pocket and handed it to the waiter, saying, "A superior room, and a few good dishes as well..."

The waiter took the bag and pressed it, feeling that it was full of round coins.

Sensing the weight of the money pouch, the waiter did not delay and immediately settled Leng Feibai into a superior room in the inn.

Half an hour later, the waiter came into the room carrying a food box.

"Sir, dinner is served!"

After the waiter finished speaking, he quickly took out a whole chicken, a plate of sliced ​​meat, and a plate of shark fin stewed with bear paw from the food box and placed them on the table one by one.

"These are all our restaurant's signature dishes!"

The waiter said confidently, "Especially this shark fin and bear paw stew, in the entire Shandong region, apart from Haiyue Xiaozhu, no other restaurant can beat us."

Leng Feibai looked at the dishes on the table and nodded in satisfaction. Just as the waiter was about to leave, Leng Feibai's voice rang out again, "Please ask your manager to come here. I have something important to discuss with him!"

The waiter looked curious upon hearing this, but didn't dare ask any more questions and quickly left.

A moment later, a knock came at the door.

Upon seeing this, Leng Feibai waved his hand from a distance.

The tightly closed door opened in an instant, and a short, chubby middle-aged man appeared in the doorway.

"Sir, what business do you have with me, Fatty Ding?"

Leng Feibai looked at the man in front of him and at the same time released his mental energy to sense the surroundings.

After confirming that no one was watching, Leng Feibai smiled and said, "Chief Ding, hello there!"

As soon as those six words were uttered, the butcher felt as if he had been electrocuted. Although his face did not change, he couldn't help but feel panicked.

"Sir, what are you saying!"

Cook Ding tried his best to remain calm and tentatively said, "If you have nothing else, Fatty Ding will be leaving now!"

"My name is Ji Feibai!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "I only came here because I have important matters to discuss with my brother! Please forgive me if I have offended you, Manager Ding."

After hearing this, the butcher seemed to be deep in thought. As a veteran leader of the Mohist school, he also knew that when Ji Yan was still in the Yan state, he had a younger brother named Ji Feibai.

However, the situation is unclear at the moment, and Paoding has never met Leng Feibai before, so he dares not give any rash responses.

"Manager Ding, there's no need to worry!"

Leng Feibai looked at Paoding and said calmly, "I will stay here for the rest of the time, and will not leave my room until my elder brother arrives. So, Manager Ding, you can rest assured!"

Seeing the other party's attitude, the butcher didn't say anything more. He turned around and walked out of the room, quietly instructing the waiter to keep a close eye on this guy.

If he does anything unusual, tell him immediately.

Leng Feibai, inside the room, didn't care about anything else and continued to enjoy the delicious shark fin and bear paw dish.

After eating and drinking his fill, Leng Feibai lay quietly on the bed and fell asleep peacefully.

The man secretly watching Leng Feibai observed him with curiosity, but did nothing unnecessary.

The next afternoon, Leng Feibai was still resting in his room until those familiar auras appeared within his perception.

"finally come!"

Leng Feibai chuckled lightly, got up, and walked out of the inn room.

"Long time no see, everyone!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Mo family group who had just entered the inn all looked up.

Then they saw Leng Feibai with an infuriatingly smug look on his face.

"Ji Feibai!"

Upon seeing him, Big Hammer unleashed all the resentment he had been harboring while hiding in the vegetable basket to enter the city. "What are you doing here, kid? Did you secretly follow us?"

Leng Feibai ignored Da Tiechui's words and teleported to Ji Yan's side.

"elder brother!"

Leng Feibai greeted Ji Yan, saying, "My divination was right after all; you really did come to Sanghai City!"

Ji Yan raised an eyebrow slightly and couldn't help but say, "Fei Bai, why aren't you cultivating in the Heavenly Sect? What are you doing running down the mountain all the time!"

"This time, they didn't run away!"

Leng Feibai's expression changed instantly, and he said seriously, "Ten days ago, Ying Zheng sent Fusu to the Heavenly Sect twice. He asked me and Junior Sister Xiaomeng to come down the mountain and lightly wipe out the Human Sect!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Mohists present all changed.

Ji Yan quickly asked, "So what are your plans with Martial Aunt Xiaomeng?"

"They put in the effort but didn't actually do anything!"

Leng Feibai shrugged and said, "Anyway, Fusu promised me that Ying Qin would provide intelligence to my junior sister and me. My junior sister and I will be in charge of handling matters concerning the Human Sect. Ying Qin's people won't interfere!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

But Ji Yan couldn't help but ask, "You and I don't need to worry, but will Martial Aunt Xiaomeng agree? After all, I heard that she is the only person in the Heavenly Sect in recent years to have cultivated to the Supreme Forgetfulness?"

"The ultimate state of 'forgetting emotions' is merely forgetting emotions, not completely abandoning them!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "And since I dare to make such a guarantee, I can definitely control her. But..."

Leng Feibai paused for a moment and said, "Brother, when you see Xiaoyaozi, please remind him that the Luo Wang and Ying Miwei will be coming to Sanghai with Gongzi Fusu. Make sure he keeps his whereabouts hidden no matter what. Otherwise, it won't be easy for my junior sister and me to deal with him. Also, please don't reveal my identity. After all, those guys from the Yin Yang School have quite a few disgusting methods."

The Mohists nodded in agreement, indicating that they would take note.

"Oh right, Fei Bai!"

Ji Yan hurriedly asked, "Do you know why Fusu brought the Luo Wang, the Shadow Guard, and various Qin armies to Sanghai City?"

"You've come to the right person!"

Leng Feibai shrugged and said, "Firstly, the Yin-Yang School, under the pretext of searching for the elixir of immortality for Ying Zheng at sea, persuaded him to build a dilapidated ship called the Mirage. Now that this dilapidated ship wants to be launched, Ying Zheng has mobilized armies from all directions to Sanghai to escort it. Moreover..."

Leng Feibai paused, his expression turning serious. "It's not just ordinary Qin troops; even Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry has been ordered by Ying Zheng to march from Xianyang toward Sanghai City."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Mo family members all turned ugly.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Jing Tianming couldn't help but become curious. He nudged Xiang Shaoyu with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Who is this Meng Tian? Everyone seems to be quite wary of him!"

Xiang Shaoyu's expression was equally grim, but he still patiently said, "Meng Tian is the most outstanding young general in Qin in recent years. His Golden Fire Cavalry is one of the best in Qin's fighting force. My father was defeated by him back then!"

Seeing Xiang Shaoyu's expression, Jing Tianming also sensed something was wrong. He patted Xiang Shaoyu's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, when he gets to Sanghai, I'll beat him up for you!"

Looking at Jing Tianming's appearance, Xiang Shaoyu felt a chill, but considering that Jing Tianming's strength had improved at a speed like a BMW speeding by, he didn't refute anything.

"Secondly, Li Si slandered the Confucianists to Ying Zheng, saying some bad things about them. Therefore, the camp dispatched a large army to Sanghai City to monitor the Confucianists' largest visible power at the moment. Little Sage Village!"

Upon hearing this, the Mo family members' expressions changed, indicating that they needed to be extremely careful in their next actions.

Otherwise, the plan to unite Taoism and Confucianism to oppose Qin would likely fail completely.

Looking at their expressions, Leng Feibai said in a deep voice, "Therefore, I suggest that you find a secluded place to lie low for the time being. If necessary, I will secretly provide you with the intelligence you need."

Upon hearing Leng Feibai's words, a hint of joy appeared on the faces of the Mo family members.

With Leng Feibai, a spy lurking beside Fusu, obtaining intelligence will be much easier for them in the future.

"Tianming!"

At this moment, Leng Feibai turned his gaze to Jing Tianming, sensing the powerful true energy emanating from him, and then said with satisfaction, "It seems you've been working very hard these past few days and haven't been slacking off in your cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Tianming's face showed a hint of pride, and he quickly said, "Uncle Leng, there are some parts of the leg technique you taught me that I don't quite understand. Could you teach me again?"

"can!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "I'll come find you after some time! Brother, I'll be going now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai vanished without a trace, his entire body seemingly disappearing into nothingness.
