C1600 Shennongjia(part Ii)

Although it was close to summer time, the night in the mountains still brought a refreshing chill. Not to mention that the average altitude of Shen Nong Jia was more than 1700 meters, so the chill of the night was even colder.

The group of traveling team members that were with Lin Bai all complained about not falling off after they got off the car. They only wished that they had brought a few pieces of heavy clothing with them when they came. But to Lin Bai, this sort of temperature was nothing but a drizzle; it had no effect at all.

Furthermore, Lin Bai would not be following the tour group at all. Under the lead of the tour guide, he would be lining up like a group of primary school students as he moved forward. Therefore, taking advantage of this small disturbance, he stealthily disappeared into the night, heading straight for the desolate area of the Divine Farmer Mountain. He wanted to save as much time as possible for this trip.

However, what Lin Bai did not know was that his sudden disappearance had caused a small disturbance within the group. Before the tour guide arrived, he already knew that Lin Bai wouldn't be coming with him. However, the team members were extremely curious about this young man with a mysterious background suddenly disappearing. They questioned the tour guide one after another, causing his head to hurt.

However, how could Lin Bai know what was happening within the tour group? Under the silent night, he used the navigation tool with the military satellite positioning system and rushed towards Dai Jiashan.

However, what Lin Bai did not expect was that as soon as he entered the primeval forest of Shen Nong Jia, he immediately felt a rich heaven and earth origin energy. Although the heaven and earth origin energy in every corner of the world had become incomparably abundant after the changes in the sealed immortal gate, the density of Shen Nong Jia's origin energy was still several times greater than normal.

Moreover, the natural Yuan Qi here was different from ordinary Yuan Qi. As it flowed, it gave off a majestic feeling of vitality, giving people a very comfortable feeling. This feeling caused Lin Bai to sigh in admiration. Although the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Yan Jing courtyard was quite abundant and was even more pure than this place, it still lacked a little bit of life force when compared to this place.

However, for some reason, Lin Bai felt that this life force was a little strange. It did not seem to come from nature itself, but contained traces of mantras circulating, as if it was created by some great technique, the Feng Shui Administration.

If this was any other time, Lin Bai would have to carefully ponder over this matter. But with the current urgent situation, Lin Bai did not have the time to chase after these trivial matters. He could only stride into the mountains.

As the night deepened, mist rose from the mountains and blended with the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth. It was like a celestial cloud, rendering the rugged path in the mountains into something as mysterious as stepping onto the immortal world. As for Lin Bai, who was dashing through the forest as if he were flying, he was as refined as an immortal floating atop a white cloud.

"This Shen Nong Jia is indeed not ordinary. It seems like it might really be the place where Shen Nong tasted the Hundred Herbs. There are actually so many rare and precious herbs growing!" After walking forward for a while, Lin Bai couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Even though he was advancing at an extremely fast speed, he did not pay much attention to the outside world. Although these herbs were not considered very old, they did not provide any help to Lin Bai. However, in the outside world, they were still treasures that could only be found by chance and not sought after.

Not only that, there were many medicinal plants here, as well as mountains that surrounded it. Within the lush mountain forests, there were even more small waterfalls that poured down from the cliffs, splashing everywhere like pieces of jade. In many places, it was even formed into a very rare, natural, and precious land. Unfortunately, this place was currently protected by the State, so no one was able to make use of this land.

However, after careful calculation, this was actually not a bad thing. From Lin Bai's point of view, Shen Nong Jia's peerless beauty could be said to be the result of these Feng Shui treasures. The two could be said to be dependent on each other. If they really let go of these areas and allowed others to enter as they pleased, then even if they were even more careful in setting them up, it would still unavoidably disrupt the balance of the world and cause irreparable damage to the feng shui.

In the end, artificial carving was still incomparable to such miraculous creation made by nature.

If it were not for the panic in his heart and the extreme speed in his footsteps, Lin Bai's current appearance was similar to those hermits in the ancient times who lived in seclusion in the forest and watched the water flow by.

After his martial arts cultivation had entered into the Xiantian realm, Lin Bai's physical strength had already reached a level where it far exceeded that of an ordinary person's, and he was extremely fast. Furthermore, Dai Jiashan was located in the outskirts of Shen Nong Jia. Therefore, he had already arrived outside the village at dawn.

After so many years of development, although the Dai Family Mountain was closer to the edge compared to other scenic spots, after entering the village, Lin Bai still discovered many small restaurants that carried the name of "Farmer's Family Music".

Although it was still early in the morning, the farmers were already preparing breakfast for the tourists entering the mountains. In the Shennongjia, there is a saying: 'the potato fruit to eat, the roasted fire, the white wine to drink with the cured meat, the immortal life is not as good as me'.

Despite the influx of tourists, the villagers in the mountains still retained a rare innocence. The so-called gutter oil, alum oil sticks, and cooked chicken had yet to enter this place. All the ingredients were personally cultivated and harvested by them. Although the method of preparation was extremely crude, it still retained the original aroma of the food.

Smelling the fragrance floating in the air, Lin Bai could not help but feel his stomach rumbling non-stop. After a night of traveling, he was truly a bit hungry. Besides, he had come to Dai Family Mountain to gather information about the Forbidden Snake. These business people were the most talkative. If he asked them about it, he might get an unexpected result.

"Little brother, why are you here so early? Could it be that you've been travelling all night?" Upon seeing Lin Bai walk into the courtyard, a middle-aged man who was lighting a fire in the courtyard to cook hurried forward to welcome him with a look of disbelief on his face.

"I'm really impatient. I wanted to enter the mountain to take a look, so I walked in while watching the scenery." Lin Bai chuckled and fished out a cigarette from his pocket. He passed it to the middle-aged man and asked warmly, "Is there anything to eat?"

"Why is there no one here? Go back to the house first, I'll bring it over to you right away!" Hearing Lin Bai's careless words, the middle-aged man smiled. With a wave of his hand, he led Lin Bai inside the house. As they walked, he praised:

"Young man, you sure have guts! I've opened a shop here for so many years, and you're the only one who dares to walk the night roads in Shen Nong Jia! "When you entered the mountain, did you not hear those tour guides say anything about savages? Aren't you afraid?"
