Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Yulong Temple on Yulong Mountain_1
“Okay, I’ve just seen him, and he should be alright for the next few days. I hope that after you’ve dealt with your matters, you can come as soon as possible to treat him. Here on behalf of my old friend, I want to thank you,” Elder Lin said. This time he did not bow but rather saluted Xu Fan with a fist.
“Alright, as soon as I’m done, I’ll be there,” Xu Fan replied solemnly, nodding his head as he promised to take care of the situation.
Seeing that there was nothing else to discuss, Xu Fan reached for the bag containing a bundle of top-grade medicinal herbs and bid Elder Lin farewell, “Elder Lin, if there is nothing else, I’ll take my leave now. I will resolve my issues as quickly as possible and then come to find you.”
“I appreciate your effort, young friend,” Elder Lin also saluted Xu Fan with a fist to bid him goodbye.
Unbeknownst to them, Elder Lin’s attitude towards Xu Fan had shifted from that of an elder to a junior, to that of a student towards a teacher.
In the traditions of Yan Country, those who impart knowledge are considered teachers, regardless of age. As long as one has skill, they are the teacher. Even though Elder Lin was nearly sixty years older than Xu Fan, he still treated Xu Fan with utmost respect.
The biggest change came from witnessing the power of the Dan Fire in Xu Fan’s hands.
As Xu Fan left the Zhi Shen Tang, Elder Lin slowly stood up and watched Xu Fan walk into the distance.
Before long, Elder Lin took out his phone and dialed a number, excitedly speaking into the phone, “You old immortal, this time, you probably won’t die again.”
…
After leaving Zhi Shen Tang, Xu Fan quickly placed the large bag of medicinal herbs into the trunk of his car. This batch of herbs was much more valuable than the previous one, worth over a million, which was why Xu Fan handled them more tenderly, making sure they were safely stowed away before getting into his car.
As soon as Xu Fan emerged onto the street and re-entered his car, the “Mountain Chicken” group immediately started their car and continued to tail Xu Fan.
Mackenzie had already decided not to give Xu Fan any chances this time. If there was a suitable opportunity, he would hit Xu Fan’s car a few times to provoke him, then lead him to an isolated area. If Xu Fan was the hot-blooded young man he suspected, he would surely give chase. Then, with Mackenzie’s sharpshooting and Sandru’s tough combat skills, they could certainly take Xu Fan down for good.
“Lieutenant Shan, when I hit his car later, roll down the window and hurl every Chinese insult you’ve learned at him to completely enrage the kid, got it?” Mackenzie instructed his co-pilot, the burly Sandru, carefully.
“OK, when it comes to provoking and causing foul play, I’m your man!” Sandru replied with confident laughter. He had grown up in a black neighborhood, well-acquainted with the tactics of infuriating an opponent. However, his command of Chinese was limited, and his repertoire of Chinese insults was rather scanty.
“Fuck, you green pool, beast, dogshit, hooligan, scoundrel. Haha, dear Captain Mackenzie, how’s my Chinese?”
“Very beautiful!” Mackenzie wasn’t much proficient in Chinese either and was quite impressed to hear Sandru’s string of curses.
Having agreed on their plan, they prepared to overtake Xu Fan’s car, drive alongside him and provoke him. However, things didn’t go as they wished; having made all the preparations, Mackenzie realized that Xu Fan’s speed was incredibly high, making it difficult to overtake him even with his pedal to the metal, and they could barely keep up.
“Fuck, does this kid think he can escape?” Mackenzie slammed his fist on the steering wheel and asked Sandru.
“Reporting, Captain Mackenzie, his current route is heading to the outskirts, which is advantageous for us. For now, we can just follow him,” Sandru, who was monitoring the GPS on his phone, informed Mackenzie.
“Oh yeah, that’s perfect. Don’t let me catch you, kid, I swear you’ll face the most severe judgment,” Mackenzie whistled as he focused on driving and chasing Xu Fan.
Xu Fan had also noticed the persistent black SUV following him from behind.
Using his Divine Sense, he detected that the SUV contained two dangerous foreigners. They were looking for a secluded place to take care of Xu Fan, which, coincidentally, was also what Xu Fan wanted—finding a remote area to dispose of these two pests.
Thus, both vehicles sped towards the outskirts of Zhonghai City, racing against each other on the road.
After driving for an entire hour, Xu Fan arrived at a mountainous area south of Zhonghai City.
The terrain here was no longer the flat roads of Zhonghai City but had become a twisting mountain road.
Below the mountain road lay a mountain famous in the vicinity of Zhonghai, named Yulong Mountain, which housed a temple called Yulong Temple. Within the large courtyard of the temple was a well. Legend had it that the well contained a chain thicker than a human arm, which was forged from Golden Crystal by an ancient prime minister nearly a few hundred years ago. He used the chain to capture a dragon that had been troubling the people of Pujiang and locked it within the well.
However, these stories were mostly rumors and legends circulated on the internet by unknown sources, all fabricated to increase the place’s fame and attract tourists. In reality, locals didn’t believe them at all and only used them to deceive tourists from outside the area.
Nonetheless, a couple of days ago, when Xu Fan had come across these rumors online, he became a bit curious and took a look.
Although the rumors had been circulating for many years, Xu Fan developed a keen interest in the place after finding a high-resolution satellite image and aerial photo map of Yulong Mountain.
After reviewing the maps, Xu Fan was surprised to discover some clues indicating that there was more to Yulong Mountain than just idle gossip and legends.
Today, Xu Fan’s destination was originally Yulong Mountain, but since he had acquired two tails, he did not mind burying these two ill-intentioned foreigners right there.
