Chapter 559 A Journey
Golden Profound Tortoise.
Now that its sh.e.l.l was a fourth-stage spirit treasure, it should be at the Innateness Middle-Stage.
According to the martial arts world standard, a cultivator at the Innateness Middle-Stage was equal to a martial artist at the Earth Realm in strength.
But such a Golden Profound Tortoise had been stewed into turtle soup by someone.
Zhang Han knew that the turtle soup was good for cultivation, Qi and blood, and he had also drunk a lot soup of that kind.
But now he could only pick up the sh.e.l.l left by those great masters.
Fortunately, the Golden Profound Tortoise’s unconscious soul was attached to the sh.e.l.l, which was more useful.
If Zhang Han gathered the souls of four spirit beasts, he would be able to form the Four Symbols Formation, which was not only a functional way of fighting, but also very powerful.
“A spirit beast soul at the Innateness stage.”
Zhang Han stood under the thunder yang tree and looked at the large golden sh.e.l.l carefully. All of a sudden, his right hand moved.
18 cards were taken out of the s.p.a.ce ring and hovered over the tortoise sh.e.l.l.
All of a sudden, two cards stopped in the sky.
One card contained the soul of a flood dragon, while the other was a normal card.
At this time, the dragon soul hidden inside was motionless, as if it had felt the more terrible energy from the tortoise sh.e.l.l.
“Qing Ming Steal!”
Zhang Han’s eyes burst with light.
A Qing Ming Steal was formed entirely by a spiritual sense mind trick that appeared above the tortoise sh.e.l.l.
At this time, there were different changes in the Qing Ming Steal.
There seemed to be a little green on the mark formed by the flowing light.
It was the attribute of Taiyi Wood Thunder!
After those changes, Zhang Han’s soul sense had been greatly improved.
Although he had never had such experience, Zhang Han felt that it should be developing in a good direction.
It was important.
In fact, Zhang Han was a little nervous. But cultivators were always against the natural law, and that uncontrollable change made Zhang Han feel more excited.
The Qing Ming Steal, which was the same size as the tortoise sh.e.l.l, completely fell on top of it.
The golden and light green colors on the tortoise sh.e.l.l were alternately reflecting each other. When Zhang Han poured more energy into his Qing Ming Steal…
Something happened.
“Zoom!”
A corner of the tortoise sh.e.l.l vibrated and produced a wave of energy. It was fighting against a Qing Ming Steal and he didn’t want to leave the tortoise sh.e.l.l.
“It’s time to move.”
The four thousand clouds above Zhang Han’s soul sense sea suddenly gathered together. The thunder and lightning flashed over soul sense sea, and the dark clouds were frightening.
It showed that Zhang Han was using all of his soul sense.
At the next moment, just before the c.u.mulus clouds turned into rain, Zhang Han stretched the distance between the clouds again to maintain this balance.
At the critical moment…
Zhang Han’s spiritual sense emerged, like a storm, then fell on the Qing Ming Steal, making it burst into dazzling light.
Sensing the powerful soul-suppressing force, the soul of the Golden Profound Tortoise gave up the tortoise sh.e.l.l in an instant.
According to Zhang Han’s plan, it got into the card.
But that was just the beginning.
Zhang Han waved his right hand to summon the five elements furnace and threw all his 18 cards in it.
Only after being refined could the soul of the Golden Profound Tortoise be integrated with the card and become a unique attribute force. Just like the soul of the flood dragon, it could show the image of the spirit beast when it was alive and give full play to its energy.
“Fire.”
Zhang Han’s soul sense turned into cl.u.s.ters of soul sense fire. With the help of the Fire Stone, he continuously refined the tortoise sh.e.l.l.
Three hours later, he succeeded.
“Zoom!”
A golden shadow appeared on the upper side of the card, which looked like a Golden Profound Tortoise.
As soon as it appeared, a thick and solid Qi rippled out.
At the same time, because of its arrival, the overall quality of 18 cards had been improved.
But it was far from enough.
Zhang Han clapped his left palm forward.
All of a sudden, the figure of the Golden Profound Tortoise flew out of the five elements furnace and returned to its sh.e.l.l. Under Zhang Han’s command, the figure of the Golden Profound Tortoise rose from the sh.e.l.l and was quickly covered by a layer of golden light. As for the sh.e.l.l, it was like a piece of red iron put into water, whose color quickly darkened. Finally, it turned into powder and dissipated with the wind.
The Golden Profound Tortoise returned to the five elements furnace with the tortoise sh.e.l.l’s essence
At this time, Zhang Han’s right hand moved.
Suddenly, 28 third-level gemstones flew into the furnace one after another, which were refined into powder by Zhang Han. They attached to those 18 cards and continued to be refined into one with them.
The process was slow. It took Zhang Han two and a half hours to refine them successfully.
“Bang…”
Suddenly, the five elements furnace vibrated and made a dull sound.
“Bang!”
The five element stove vibrated again. The sound was much louder and clearer than before, as if the five elements furnace could not bear the things of it.
At this time, Zhang Han hurriedly directed the 18 cards to fly out.
Every card had changed from dim to dazzling.
There would be a change in nature.
Appearance couldn’t determine the nature of a spirit treasure, but now, all the 18 cards had been upgraded to the fourth level. Although they just pa.s.sed the standard point of level four, they could also be called “holy weapons”!
“Not bad.”
Zhang Han sighed with relief.
Zhang Han was satisfied with the result, but he felt a little tired from the high-intensity activities all day long. After resting for ten minutes, he checked the time and we walked back to the castle.
“It’s time to pick up Mengmeng.”
At the front of the castle, Zhang Han got in the panda car and slowly drove away from the Cold Immortal School.
Zi Yan and Zhou Fei were busy in the company, and Zhang Han didn’t want to disturb them. When Zi Yan finished working, she would call Zhang Han first.
Therefore, Zhang Han drove to the Saint Kindergarten himself.
He arrived at only 4:25 pm. Waiting for a few minutes in the temporary parking lot, and then lined up to enter the school.
“PaPa!” Mengmeng’s eyes lit up and she soon hid that little red flower behind her.
When she ran towards Zhang Han, instead of jumping into his arms, she stretched out two small arms, palms down, holding something inside.
Zhang Han knew it had to be another little red flower.
“PaPa, make a guess,” Mengmeng said happily.
“This one.” Zhang Han pointed at Mengmeng’s right palm.
“Yes. Look at it!” Mengmeng turned her right hand over and showed her little palm. There was a little red flower in it.
“Wow, a little red flower. Mengmeng is a good girl! You are excellent! So Dad owes Mengmeng another thing.” Zhang Han smiled and touched Mengmeng’s head, praising her.
Then Zhang Han was about to take Mengmeng’s hand and leave the campus…
Mengmeng took a step back.
“PaPa, you haven’t checked this hand yet.”
“Ah?” Zhang Han was surprised. Then he smiled, crouched down and said, “What’s in this hand? Is it a surprise?”
“Look! Another little red flower!” Mengmeng showed her left hand and cheered, “I got two little red flowers today.”
“Two little red flowers a day? Mengmeng’s so clever!” Zhang Han exaggerated.
“Yes.” Mengmeng took her little red flower back from Zhang Han’s grasp and then murmured, “PaPa, let’s go to find MaMa.”
“Let’s go back.”
Zhang Han and Mengmeng went back to the panda car and drove directly to the company. After seeing Zi Yan on the 10th floor, the little girl stretched out two small hands for MaMa to guess.
There was a flower in either hand.
Seeing two little red flowers, Zi Yan happily praised Mengmeng. Since both father and daughter had arrived, she placed down her work and then returned to the Cold Immortal School with them.
The first thing they did when they got home was to stick the little red flower on the blackboard.
“Mengmeng has got 14 little red flowers. If you get a new one, you’ll be rewarded with a trophy. Now that you got two little red flowers today, of course, we will reward you… How about a piece of cream cake?”
“Great!” Mengmeng couldn’t help cheering.
“Let’s order a cake.” Zi Yan smiled and took out her mobile phone.
She thought the cake-making process was troublesome, and it was much more convenient to buy one.
However, Zhang Han shook his head.
“Don’t order the cake. A small cake will be ready soon.”
“Wow!” Zi Yan’s eyes lit up. “Let’s make a cake together. Mengmeng, do you want to join us and make a cake that you can have?”
“Yes.” Mengmeng replied in confusion.
She didn’t know how to make a cake.
Therefore…
The family of three entered the kitchen, chatting and laughing.
“Cream is made from egg white, milk and sugar?
“It doesn’t look difficult.”
Although the production process was not difficult, ten minutes later, Zi Yan and Mengmeng’s faces were stained with flour. They tried to wipe out the flour with their hands, only to make their faces whiter and whiter.
“Hmph!”
They rushed into the washroom to clean their faces.
After was.h.i.+ng their faces, they waited for a while, and the delicate cream cake was ready.
They had cakes and fruits for dinner.
Zhang Han didn’t get the news of any new relic after exploring the relic of Mount He Snow.
The chances of finding relics couldn’t be estimated, which was sometimes more and sometimes less.
Zhang Han was now at Foundation Late-stage and there was no way for him to advance before the Thunder Yang Wood matured. Zhang Han kept training his spiritual sense mind trick every day and gradually promoted it.
Happy times were always short.
Zhao Feng was with Liang Mengqi every day, but they only held hands or kissed occasionally.
In addition to those who went go to school or work, other members of the w.a.n.g family were either studying the Hundred-formation Image or dealing with the Cold Immortal School affairs.
That area was very large, and they would take the initiative to deal with some trivial matters.
Two weeks later, Mengmeng got the 15th little red flower on the last day and was awarded a 15 cm high gla.s.s trophy.
Mengmeng was overjoyed because only 5 of his cla.s.smates had received the award.
In order to reward Mengmeng, the family of three went to an indoor children’s park. Although they had been there before, Mengmeng, w.a.n.g Yihan, Li Muen and other small partners still had a good time.
They returned to the Cold Immortal School’s castle at night.
w.a.n.g Ming, Rong Jiaxin and w.a.n.g Ya, who had completely gotten rid of all the negative emotions, went to the living room on the third floor of the castle.
“Han and Yan, the Spring Festival is coming. Do you have any plans?” asked Rong Jiaxin.
“We haven’t made any plans yet.” Zhang Han shook his head.
Hearing them talking, Mengmeng, who was playing with toys, stopped. She was smart enough to know they were going to talk about their destination in the Spring Festival holiday.
“My parents called us yesterday and they wanted us to go back to the Zi family estate. But I’ll sing a song in a Spring Festival Gala held by a TV station. On the first day of the new year, we may go back to visit the Zi family or go out for a tour. Anyway, it depends on Zhang Han.” Zi Yan looked at Zhang Han as an obedient wife.
“Is the Lin Hai TV Station included?” w.a.n.g Ya asked.
“Yes,” Zi Yan replied.
“Then we can go to Lin Hai for the Spring Festival,” Rong Jiaxin’s eyes lit up as she said, “Han, your second uncle called me yesterday and asked me where I was. He invited me and w.a.n.g Ming to go back for the Spring Festival. I told him we were all here with you. He was quite surprised and wanted us to go back together.”
“Second uncle?”
It was a strange word, but Zhang Han remembered that his second uncle was Rong Yong, an official in Lin Hai. When Zhang Han’s mother wanted to marry his father, Rong Yong was one of the few people who had agreed with them, and even given them some material support.
Zhang Han saw Rong Yong twice in his childhood, who was always calm and never showed his emotions.
That was Rong Yong in Zhang Han’s previous impression.
“Go to Lin Hai?” Zhang Han was hesitant.
“Yes, to go and have a look. I haven’t been there for years,” Said Rong Jiaxin with a smile.
“Let’s go and have a look then.” Zhang Han nodded.
So the journey was decided.
Zi Yan would be going to the Spring Festival Gala of the Linhai TV station, and the w.a.n.g family would stay in the Hanxian Pavilion.
Now there were 100 members in the security group, and Zhang Han had planned to give them a holiday to go home for the Spring Festival.
Everything was being prepared in an orderly way.
Time pa.s.sed quickly, with five days to go before the Spring Festival’s Eve…
Zhao Feng received a phone call.
It was a phone call that surprised him. Zhao Feng and Liang Mengqi were fis.h.i.+ng in the back mountain then, and Zhao Feng rushed to the castle after hanging up the phone.
After seeing Zhang Han on the second floor, he said in a deep voice, “Master, Ah Hu is injured. It’s not very serious, but he won’t be able to fight for a while. He asked me for help, and I plan to take my men there. By the way, I’ll arrange your journey. I’ll be picking you up at the airport the day after tomorrow.”
“Well, don’t wait for me. You can go on vacation after finis.h.i.+ng your work.” Zhang Han nodded.
“Okay, I’ll take this opportunity to travel in Lin Hai with Mengqi. Her brother will go to meet her and then date with Lili,” Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
He knew that Zhang Li and Liang Hao were much slower than Liang Mengqi and him. But he hoped that they would get what they wanted.
Zhang Han didn’t say anything about it.
After discussing with Zhang Han, Zhao Feng hurriedly contacted the security group and boarded a private plane with Liang Mengqi to Lin Hai.
This time, their opponent was still the Secret Killing Organization targeting Miss Liu. Although their attempts had all failed, they might get support from someone or get annoyed by Ah Hu and continue attacking them.
Two hours prior, it was still dark.
In the villa where Liu Jiaran lived, Ah Hu was sitting on the sofa, drinking beer, eating peanuts and watching TV.
The housekeeper and servants didn’t want to worry about him anymore.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
Suddenly, a beautiful girl in short sleeves and beach pants rushed down from the second floor.
She was Liu Jiaran.
She leaned on Ah Hu, forcing a flattering smile. Then she ma.s.saged his legs and said in a sweet voice, “Do you feel comfortable, brother Ah Hu?”
“Not bad,” Ah Hu replied casually.
“Can we go out to have fun?” It was Liu Jiaran’s purpose.
“You can’t go out in the evening,” Ah Hu refused.
“But the nightclub doesn’t open during the day, and it’s just starting to open. I haven’t gone there for many days! Brother Ah Hu, just go with me, please!” Liu Jiaran begged.
She had been obedient after being spanked twice. However, although she was no longer against Ah Hu directly, she always had other ways to make trouble for him.
Although their usual confrontation ended in Liu Jiaran’s failure, she never gave up. Only when she wanted to go out to have fun during the holidays would she please Ah Hu.
Without Ah Hu’s permission, she couldn’t get out of the villa. Once she had planned to jump out of the kitchen window, and she did manage to climb down, only to find Ah Hu with a smile standing in front of her. There was another time when she wanted to sneak out at night and hang out for several days. But from midnight to three o’clock in the morning, she tried three times. Every time she carefully reached the door, she could always touch a hand, which scared her. After turning on the lights, she saw Ah Hu smiling at her.
Gradually, Liu Jiaran gave up the plan.
At the same time, she found that she could achieve her goal through pleasing Ah Hu and pretending to be obedient. In the daytime, every time she did this, Ah Hu would agree with her.
However, Ah Hu looked out at the night scene, sat up straight, shook his head and said, “It’s not safe.”
Although Liu Jiaran had been fighting against him in various ways, he still considered Liu Jiaran’s safety as always.
“I want to go out! I want to go out and have fun! I don’t care!” Liu Jiaran jumped on the sofa and cried, “I planned to meet with my friends!”
“No, you’d better stay at home these days.” Ah Hu still shook his head.
“If I can’t go to the club, we can book a room! Brother Ah Hu, you are so powerful and I’m sure you can protect me. Otherwise, I will take you each time I go to the toilet, OK? ” Liu Jiaran pretended to be crying.
She knew it worked on Ah Hu.
It was true.
Ah Hu couldn’t stand women crying. After seeing that, he nodded helplessly. “Okay, promise me that you’ll stay in the booked room.”
“Great!”
While being gazed at by the servant and the housekeeper, Liu Jiaran jumped up excitedly, and then bent down to kiss Ah Hu in the face.
“I’m going to change.” Liu Jiaran ran straight to the second floor barefoot.
Ah Hu’s expression froze. He touched the place where he was kissed and looked at the stunned housekeeper and servant. Then he turned his gaze to Liu Jiaran’s back disappearing at the corner of the stairs and said loudly, “Did you take liberties with me?”
