424: Chapter 423: Journey to Mount Changbai_1 424: Chapter 423: Journey to Mount Changbai_1 Ren Feifan spent these days guiding Xu Shihan in cultivation and seeking leave from school at the sa ti.
For so reason, the new principal seed to be sowhat wary of him, greenlighting his requests all the way.
He couldn’t wait for Ren to leave as soon as possible.
Ren Feifan speculated it was due to his previous confrontation with the principal over an international student issue.
That’s why he was so wary of him.
However, for Ren Feifan, the biggest obstacle in requesting for leave was Fang Muqing.
With only one month left until the competition, Fang Muqing felt Ren Feifan skipping classes and asking for leaves wasn’t befitting of a student.
It seed like he was deliberately making excuses.
She attempted to approach the principal several tis to no avail, and eventually had to negotiate with Ren Feifan himself.
In the end, Ren Feifan promised to return within a month, and that was enough to appease her.
During this ti, Ren Feifan also had Yuan Hanqing buy an airplane ticket for a Thursday morning flight.
After making all the arrangents, Ren Feifan verbally communicated to Luo Yin, currently known as Mother Luo, that her main task was to protect Cui Ying and deal with Yuan Hanqing’s cultivation problems.
Ren originally wanted to bring Mother Luo to Mount Changbai.
Having a semi-celestial-level bodyguard should make things safer.
But if Xu Shihan was coming along, he couldn’t bring a third wheel.
A trip to Mount Changbai could serve two purposes – ditative training and a honeymoon.
It was not a bad idea.
Both of them were certified married couples, albeit a fake one.
A honeymoon was not too much to ask.
Ti flies.
Thursday morning.
Jiangnan Province International Airport.
Xu Shihan t up with Ren Feifan carrying a large suitcase, which could lead others to believe she was headed for a trip.
“Feifan, I understand if n carry fewer belongings, but I truly cannot fathom why you wouldn’t even carry change of underwear or clothes,” Xu Shihan was stunned when she discovered that Ren Feifan hadn’t brought anything.
Ren Feifan replied with a laugh.
He had a mystical space, so why worry about a change of clothes and underwear?
There were several sets of won’s clothing as well in his mysterious space, just in case.
Pulling Xu Shihan to a corner of a staircase, Ren Feifan said, “Shihan, since you’ve been exposed to cultivation practices already, I won’t hide so things from you.
Many cultivators have a way to conceal sothing like this suitcase on their person and carry it around.”
Xu Shihan opened her eyes wide in curiosity.
“So are those magicians all cultivators?”
Ren Feifan was taken aback by Shihan’s random and wild thoughts.
He placed his hand on Xu Shihan’s suitcase handle and said, “You have to watch closely now.”
“Yes!”
In the next second, the suitcase in Ren’s hand inexplicably disappeared, startling Xu Shihan!
Isn’t there supposed to be a movent in magic tricks?
Ren Feifan did not make any noticeable move at all!
She looked around but found no place where the suitcase might be hidden.
“Feifan, where’s my suitcase?”
Laughing, Ren Feifan replied, “It’s in a certain space.
As long as you need it, I can retrieve it.
Don’t worry.
This ti, you just need to bring yourself and travel light.”
Though puzzled, Xu Shihan didn’t say anything.
When the ti ca, they directly checked in their tickets and boarded the airplane.
Southeast Linji Province.
Mount Changbai is situated within the Yanbian prefecture of Antu County and Fusong County of Baishan City in Linji Province.
It serves as the boundary between Huaxia and the Korean Peninsula.
Mount Changbai is one of the top ten famous mountains in Huaxia, a 5A National Scenic Area, and the highest mountain in the Northeast.
Known for the white floating stones and perennial snow on its main peak, and hence the na Changbai (Forever white), it is often praised as the “perennial pine on snow-covered peaks, standing as the highest peak among all.”
Mount Changbai is the highest and largest volcano in northeastern Huaxia.
Three hours later.
The airplane landed at Mount Changbai International Airport.
As a tourist attraction, the airport at the foot of Mount Changbai is small in scale, where most airplanes land.
The mont Xu Shihan and Ren Feifan stepped out from the airport, they could sense that the nature’s spiritual energy at Mount Changbai was multiple tis denser than it was in Jiangnan Province.
Cultivating here would lead to rapid improvent in one’s cultivation level.
Besides, to retirees, the environnt here is perfect as it is full of fresh air.
After leaving the airport, Ren Feifan saw several rare plants around him with a good market, which he could pick up later if the opportunity arose.
As the two stepped out the airport entrance, they were swamped by a crowd of motorcycle taxis and taxi drivers.
“Dear handso man and pretty lady, are you going on an adventure to Mount Changbai’s Heavenly Lake, or are you here to sightsee?
Hire my cab, and I’ll save you so money.
There’s no place on Mount Changbai that eluded !”
“My friend, you should take my taxi instead.
This moped guy’s vehicle safety is very low.
They’ve had accidents quite frequently,” a taxi driver poked his head out and said chucklingly.
“Who are you cursing?!” the moped driver retorted, clearly agitated.
The taxi driver fought back with a rage, cussing in various dialects.
Ren Feifan and Xu Shihan looked at each other and quickly left the scene.
Although they were technically at Mount Changbai Airport, they needed to cover so distance to reach Mount Changbai itself.
Ren Feifan and Xu Shihan planned to rent a car near the airport.
With a car, everything would beco a lot easier.
Ren also discovered that Heavenly Lake on Mount Changbai was located at the peak of the main volcano, and is a volcanic crater lake that has accumulated water over a long period of ti.
With its rich precipitation and volcanic terrain, Mount Changbai was riddled with rivers, waterfalls, springs, and lakes, each having its own unique characteristics.
These places were ho to all sorts of quirky animals and precious minerals.
According to local legends, there was a mysterious tribe living in the depths of Heavenly Lake—the Protect-Dragon Tribe.
The population of the Protect-Dragon tribe was no more than 3,000 people.
Unlike the modern world, they continue to live in a primitive way, using fire seeds, employing extensive farming, and rarely interacted with the outside world.
The local authority, who once had jurisdiction over Mount Changbai, sent over a dozen historians and special forces to attempt to modernize their lifestyle, but those who went never ca back.
Ren Feifan and Xu Shihan decided to find a temporary place to stay first.
Luckily, there were plenty of hotels near Mount Changbai airport, and they easily managed to book a room at a five-star hotel.
At this point, Ren wasn’t too concerned about money.
After settling in, Ren Feifan decided to rent a car with Xu Shihan.
The car rental was located near the northern plaza of the airport, an area predominantly full of tourists due to its small local population.
Just as Ren Feifan was about to move forward, Xu Shihan tugged at him.
“Feifan, look over there…
What’s happening with them?”
Ren Feifan turned his head and spotted a couple in the direction Xu Shihan was pointing.
The couple was dressed in ruffled linen clothes, indicating their poor living condition.
Their faces seed anxious as if sothing terrible had happened.
Every ti soone passed by the northern plaza, they’d stop them to ask sothing while pointing at a picture in their hand, always looking distressed by the answers they received.
One of the won, who had noticed Ren Feifan and Xu Shihan, hurried over to them.
That’s when Ren noted the tear tracks on the woman’s face along with tell-tale signs of redness from crying.
“Sir, have you seen the person in this picture before?
She’s my daughter, and I can’t find her since yesterday.
We’re so worried.”
