Chapter 468: Chapter 56 Nine Transition Golden Core Stewed Pig’s Feet_3

Lu Chan sighed and said, "You were the one who led the True Martial Palace to act like the Mad Dog Palace. The law is merciless, but enforcers should show compassion."

The Qianfeng Tower was often fined because the girls and white-faced Lang inside the brothel were not disciples of the Qianfeng Sect and inevitably engaged in some private flesh trade.

But the True Martial Palace always indiscriminately attacked the Qianfeng Sect whenever they caught them.

"Brother, you should go to Danqing State and witness it yourself before drawing a conclusion. Sometimes, a great power saving people is inevitable for the common people to establish temples."

-----------------

Danqing State.

The Land of Earth Fire, where a Flame Mountain, connected to the earth’s veins, constantly spewed earth fire, turning the land into scorched earth.

It was also the state of the Human Race’s Alchemy Dao, providing thirty percent of the pills used by cultivators in the entire world. Numerous major Alchemy Dao sects were located here, with over ninety percent of top-grade pills originating from Danqing State.

Whenever you encountered any ailment, you could always find a good remedy in Danqing State.

Rumble.

An Immortal Boat landed, and in the Heaven Character Room, Gu Wen was shaken awake by Chi Yu Zi, still hearing the sound in the background.

Walking out of the room, there were countless travelers with luggage proceeding outside through the long corridor, and once outside, the world before them widened.

Today the sun was bright, and the sky was cloudless.

From afar, the city with its blue-tiled white walls buzzed with noise, and even farther away was a ’Copper Mountain’.

A grand Pill Furnace, a thousand feet tall and spanning tens of miles, stood in the center of Danqing State, with iron chains extending in all directions like a traveling dragon.

The eight iron chains provided true fire for Alchemy to eight cities and eighty thousand Fire Palaces.

Gu Wen was stunned by this sight, his breath pausing for several moments.

Even though the principles and Daoist techniques behind this Copper Mountain seemed simple to Gu Wen, it was still enough to shock his heart and mind.

Mastering myriad techniques, traveling thousands of miles, with vivid energy, Daoist techniques followed the natural way.

The little man in his Qi Sea paused, then rounded his arms and exhaled true fire.

He learned the technique of using heaven and earth as a furnace.

Coming back to his senses, Gu Wen asked, "Yu Hua once told me that there was a Flame Mountain in Danqing State. Where is it now?"

What lay before him wasn’t scorched earth with fire surging from the ground and no vegetation,

but rather green hills and clear waters, little bridges over flowing streams, and a serene ancient town.

Chi Yu Zi pointed at the Copper Mountain and explained, "Seven hundred years ago, during the human-demon war, to consolidate resources and defeat the Devil Clan, the Daoist Sect united with various factions in Danqing State and called upon over a hundred True Monarchs skilled in Artifact Refining and Arrays to refine the Flame Mountain into a Copper Mountain."

"Thus, what used to be a land made turbid by earth fire breath now became green hills and clear waters."

Gu Wen nodded in admiration, "Cultivation indeed brings benefit."

Leaving the Immortal Boat, he entered the city, named Li Fire City.

The largest city in Danqing State, though not where the Jiang family resided, requiring another journey of eight hundred miles to reach the Jiang family.

The extensive land required for cultivation meant no sect would be situated within the city.

Having arrived, he decided to enjoy some leisure.

That night, Gu Wen went to the most renowned restaurant in the city, the Three Pure Restaurant, officially endorsed by the Daoist Sect.

They ordered a Nine Transition Golden Core Stewed Pig’s Trotter valued at three hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, but were told it required a ten-year reservation. Chi Yu Zi then revealed his identity, instantly causing the person in charge to collapse on the spot out of fear.

If it were someone else, perhaps the Dragon King’s presence could command such authority, but the True Martial Demon Cleansing Heavenly Venerate literally scared people out of their wits.

The night, they were served the Nine Transition Golden Core Stewed Pig’s Trotter.

Gu Wen and the others went up to a pavilion, its middle hollowed to reveal the sun, moon, and stars.

A golden pill furnace was brought up, and as the lid was lifted, a golden light shot up into the sky, illuminating the night in gold.

Golden beans partially covered the pig’s trotter.

Chi Yu Zi exclaimed in amazement, then scooped a spoonful for Gu Wen, saying, "Try it, see how it tastes."

Bam!

Suddenly, the room door was kicked open, and a man in a fur coat barged in angrily with a group of people.

The leading man slightly raised his head, gritting his teeth, and said:

"I want to see who dares to rob me of my Nine Transition Golden Core Stewed Pig’s Trotter! I reserved it for years to treat Fairy Xie."

"You midget, put down my Golden Core, missing even one will make you pay!"

At this moment, Xie Yunnan stepped out from the crowd, and upon seeing the people inside, nearly fainted.
