Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Who is More Cunning_1

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, the gate of the Scenic Sect slammed shut!

Afterwards, you approached another gate that radiated a green light. The words "Gate of Life" were engraved upon it. You reached out and pushed it open with ease.

A refreshing natural scent rolled out from within. In that moment, you suddenly felt lighter than ever before, the usual sensation of chest tightness and heaviness completely vanished.

At the same time, your mind filled with a myriad of knowledge, mostly regarding pharmacology, including methods of Taoist Alchemy!

Alchemy?

You laughed to yourself. If it weren’t a dream, you certainly would record all this knowledge. Even if you couldn’t use the content, merely compiling it into a book would fetch a handsome sum of money.

Now, there was only one gate left, emitting a black light, and you hesitated, for the word engraved upon it was—Death Gate!

To push or not to push?

Although you were dreaming, the word "Death Gate" wasn’t exactly pleasant to behold, regardless of the context.

But human curiosity is inexorable, and you were no exception.

"Maybe I won’t be able to open the Death Gate anyway, and even if I can, I just won’t go in. It shouldn’t be a big deal," you reasoned.

With that thought, you slowly extended your right hand.

Unexpectedly, the moment your hand touched the Death Gate, you were sucked in!

Darkness, endless darkness!

After being sucked into the Black Gate, you realized you couldn’t see a shred of light.

You dared not venture recklessly, choosing instead to stand still.

After a short while, you noticed a sphere of Qi slowly emerging from the darkness, meandering around you. Soon, the Qi dissipated, and the pitch-black world before you transformed into land and sky, albeit still chaotic.

Then light appeared, clearing up the murky land and sky.

You found yourself amidst mountains and water, surrounded by the changing seasons, wild animals, birdsongs, and floral fragrances.

Then, the wind rose, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring in the sky, and gales howling. Flames consumed forests, the earth bellowed nonstop, with mountains collapsing and the ground splitting!

Once the calamity passed, the world returned to tranquility. Humans emerged, building their homes, towns, and eventually nations.

However, as their numbers grew, power and desire drove them to commit acts void of reason, such as war!

Large-scale wars obliterated all human homes. People were displaced, homeless, the survivors fleeing in all directions to rebuild their homes. Years of hardship and tribulation made them cherish life more, and thus they established order and law to restrain themselves.

As you looked up, a golden light cascaded down, enveloping you. You noticed the clouds above parting, revealing a force in the sky drawing you near. You took a deep breath, leapt into the air, and, borne by the wind, soared toward the heavens...

Time was unknown, but when you slowly opened your eyes, the day had already brightened outside.

The first thing you did upon awakening was to grab your phone, planning to jot down the Alchemy knowledge from your dream. After rapidly typing dozens of words into your phone, you suddenly realized that with a clear mind, you could recite all that Alchemy knowledge without missing a word, even grasping its minutest details.

Returning Yuan Pill, Heart Cleansing Pill, Detoxification Pill, Lifespan Extension Pill... various Dan Medicines that could be used in daily life were all there.

"Old Shu, what’s up with you? You’re sitting there spacing out early in the morning," Wei Shuxian said upon entering with a basin, after spotting you in a daze on the bed.

"Oh, just thinking about something," you replied.

You then looked around. Liao Yong had already gotten up, going for his usual morning run; the young fellow Yang Kai was cuddling a pillow, still sound asleep against the wall.

As you washed your face and brushed your teeth, your mind lingered on the dream from last night, until your ringing phone in your pocket pulled your thoughts back to reality.

"Little Yunyun, I’m giving you five minutes to come downstairs!" Xiao Feng’s voice brimmed with excitement on the phone.

"Right, just five minutes. If you’re not down in five, you’re getting a spanking!" Lin Panxia’s clear calling voice could be heard through Xiao Feng’s phone, her high spirits apparent, making you realize that you had indeed fallen for Wu Qiyi’s plan last night to spend the day frolicking with them.

Oh!

You rubbed your forehead in slight annoyance—as expected, today was going to be overwhelming.

Sure enough, about five minutes later, you descended the stairs, finding many boys gathered at the entrance of the dormitory, likely all residents of this building.

With no gaps to squeeze through, you had to forcefully make your way out, only to find Xiao Feng’s SUV parked at the front, loaded with three beauties, two of whom were outstandingly gorgeous.

"Brother Mu Yun, this way!"

When you appeared, Lin Panxia poked her head out of the car window and beamed at you with her sweet smile.

The three girls were seated side by side in the back. You promptly took the front passenger seat, exchanging a meaningful glance with Xiao Feng. Without a single word spoken, the two of you communicated perfectly through your eyes alone.

Early in the morning, Lin Panxia had called Xiao Feng to pick her and Wu Qiyi up from the neighborhood. Once on the road, she assured Xiao Feng that she would definitely lure Han Lele out and create a romantic world just for the two of them.

Shaking your head resignedly, you turned towards the three girls in the back and asked, "Ladies, where are we heading for fun today?"

"Amusement park!" Lin Panxia was visibly thrilled, her deep dimples seemingly filled with honey.

Wu Qiyi appeared indifferent, as if anywhere would suit her just fine.

As for Han Lele, she shyly kept her head down, her bashfulness apparent under the watchful eyes of so many.

"Let’s go, to the amusement park!"

Yuhang City has three amusement parks in total, with the largest one about a half-hour drive from the Zijin Port Campus.

Soon after leaving the campus, it took Lin Panxia and Han Lele less than ten minutes to start a cheerful conversation in the car.

Han Lele’s personality is somewhere between Hu Meili’s carefree attitude and Tao Wenwen’s shy reticence. Once she starts talking with those she’s familiar with, she naturally shows her lively and cheerful side.

To many ordinary people, she’s like a jinx, bringing bad luck to anyone close to her. Having been friendless since childhood, she treasured this hard-won friendship very much. Although she sometimes seemed too deliberate and flattering in her interactions with Lin Panxia, in your and Xiao Feng’s view, this was also a reflection of her innocence.

You turned your head to glance at Xiao Feng and said sternly, "Take good care of her."

"Hmm, I will!"

Xiao Feng nodded gravely.

Upon arriving at the amusement park and just after buying the tickets, Lin Panxia grabbed your hand and pointed to the rollercoaster in the distance, "Brother Mu Yun, let’s go on the rollercoaster!"

You and Xiao Feng exchanged looks and silently swallowed.

"I’m afraid of heights," you muttered.

"Me too," Xiao Feng quickly added, noticing that Han Lele also looked longingly at the rollercoaster.

"No, I want to ride the rollercoaster," Lin Panxia protested.

Fortunately, Wu Qiyi spoke up, "How about this? We’ll go on the Pirate Ship first, let our bodies get used to it, and then we’ll ride the rollercoaster."

You and Xiao Feng followed Wu Qiyi’s gaze to find a ship swinging back and forth in the air nearby, filled with screaming passengers.

From this distance, the Pirate Ship didn’t seem very high, and it didn’t look particularly challenging. Xiao Feng couldn’t help but say disdainfully, "What are those people screaming for? This Pirate Ship looks like something kids play with."

Wu Qiyi and Lin Panxia exchanged glances, the former’s eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief.

Although it was morning, the amusement park was crowded. After queuing for more than ten minutes, you finally boarded the Pirate Ship.

"Let’s sit at the very end of the ship, give ourselves a real thrill!"

Xiao Feng wanted to show off in front of Han Lele. You also thought the Pirate Ship would be an easy ride, like a merry-go-round, so you took the girls to the back of the ship.

After you all sat down, the attendant lowered the safety bar and deliberately reminded the boasting Xiao Feng, "Sir, the swing arc of this Pirate Ship is larger than others. If you’re afraid of heights, you might want to close your eyes later."

"No need, no need, this ride is really easy, no big deal," Xiao Feng proclaimed.

"Alright, have fun then," the attendant said and walked away.

As soon as the attendant left, the ship began to sway.

Forward, backward.

"See, I told you it’s easy," Xiao Feng bragged again.

Forward, backward.

Now the movement became more intense, and you suddenly felt uneasy. Because it seemed like you would experience weightlessness as the ship went down.

Forward, backward.

No!

No, no!

You and Xiao Feng exchanged panicked looks, seeing the alarm in each other’s eyes!

Glancing at Wu Qiyi, you clearly saw her laughing, blooming like a peony in her radiant beauty, yet with a trace of slyness.

You’d been tricked!

As the ship’s swinging arc increased, when the ship was thrown to the highest point and then dropped, you felt your heart leap to your throat and your body, as if weightless, seemed to hang suspended in mid-air.

Worse still, regardless of which way the ship swung, at the highest point before it fell, you were in that damned weightless state!

At that moment, you felt as if the safety bar was non-existent, as if your body could be hurled out at any time. Pressure weighed down on your chest, making it difficult to breathe.

Turning to look at Xiao Feng—pfft!

Hahahaha...

You laughed shamelessly!

Xiao Feng, this fellow, had already gone pale, and he was making exaggerated shouts with every sway of the ship.

Initially, you were somewhat uncomfortable. But after about a dozen sequences of weightlessness, you suddenly had an epiphany, an odd sensation that you couldn’t easily describe.

Just as you were immersed in it and trying to grasp that feeling, you noticed that the Pirate Ship’s swinging began to slow down, and Xiao Feng’s shouts came to a halt along with it.

You noticed many people around were smiling and looking at Xiao Feng, even Han Lele beside him was trying to stifle her laughter, sneaking peeks at him.

"I... I was just expressing my feelings," Xiao Feng said, his face turning from white to red, the blush so remarkably pronounced.
