Light Cultivation
Eps. 182 — Buntu Road
Several days passed since Jian Chen parted ways with his twin girl, he had finally reached the Earth Dragon Province.
By flying, Jian Chen was able to shorten his travel time faster as well as without any hindrance.
"Wouldn't it be too soon for night..." Jian Chen looked at the already dark sky as black clouds started to gather. Soon, the water began to fall.
Jian Chen was now flying over the forest area so that there were no buildings below that could be used for shelter, Jian Chen's clothes instantly began to get soaked.
Seeing the rain getting heavier accompanied by strong winds and lightning striking, not to mention the increasingly limited visibility Jian Chen finally chose to land.
There was a small cave that just so happened to be crossed by Jian Chen's gaze, he finally chose to take shelter in that place first.
When Jian Chen landed, the cave was already occupied by another creature, a bear. Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, "I'll take shelter here for a while, I hope you allow me..."
The bear looked at Jian Chen ferociously, it was about to attack but when the young man let out a hint of death aura on his body, the bear became oblivious to even a hint of fear.
Jian Chen chuckled, his gaze falling on a small bear not far away the big bear was located. There were 3 bears there, Jian Chen understood that they were the children of a big bear.
"Just calm down, I won't harm you..." Jian Chen won the frightened bear mother looking at him.
Heavy rain continued to wander the forest with strong winds blowing cold, Jian Chen took the initiative to take the branches of trees in the mouth of the cave and make a bonfire to warm the body.
Jian Chen also took off his clothes so bare-chested that he hung them near the campfire to dry faster.
Seeing the long rain, he took out the raw meat in his storage ring for cooking. Jian Chen had indeed deliberately bought raw meat like this because he preferred to cook in his own way.
The meat Jian Chen pulled out actually made the bear drip with saliva, Jian Chen chuckled and threw the piece of meat at him. "You want it, take it..."
The bear mother sniffed the meat slowly before finally starting to try to eat it, the same meat was directly given to the children as well.
Jian Chen shook his head slowly, he began to cultivate his flesh by smearing its surface with seasoning before being roasted over a campfire.
The fragrant aroma immediately smelled in the cave, the bear who had previously eaten now wanted to ask again.
"If this is mine..." Jian Chen took out another raw meat then threw at the bear, this time bigger and more.
Jian Chen ate the grilled meat after the color of the meat turned brown, along with it the nearby bear ate the raw meat until he and his three cubs were full.
Eating meat accompanied by rain like this made Jian Chen recall his first life, often eating alone in the wilderness of the forest to survive, inversely proportional to his present life.
The bear and his three children fell asleep after the glut, they also no longer considered Jian Chen a threat after being given meat.
While waiting for the rain to subside, Jian Chen crossed his legs and gathered a deep energy that had already been drained from flying a few hours before.
In contrast to flying while being at the cultivation of the Sky Realm, the wind element had to make Jian Chen expend more and more power within.
Of course Jian Chen would not let his inner strength not be left just like that, he always kept a little of his inner strength afraid in case of an emergency situation.
A few hours passed and finally the rain subsided, the clouds that were previously cloudy now changed with the clear and starry sky.
Jian Chen continued on his way back, after in the Earth Dragon Province, he was soon to where his teacher was.
***
Jian Chen again landed when his amount of profound power was almost a quarter of his remaining. On the same side was a small town not far away from him.
The city that Jian Chen had come to was a city that he was familiar with, of course because in his first life before this city that Jian Chen and his teacher had often come to.
The teacher's residence is located in the forest not far from the small town, if the walk may take a few hours from here.
There was nothing different from that city unless there was now a Miou clan association Shop.
Jian Chen was a little surprised to see it, not expecting the association to open a branch here as well, on the same side he was also happy because then Jian Chen could send a letter to Miou Lin.
With the association coming, Jian Chen wrote a letter to send to Miou Lin. Jian Chen slightly breathed a sigh of relief when the association had what he wanted.
It would take at least three days until the letter could be replied, Jian Chen rested there for a while before going to his teacher's place. Jian Chen was impressed hurriedly as he was already impatient to see his teacher back.
***
"No way!"
Jian Chen's knees felt limp when there was no hut in front of his eyes, he was already standing where his teacher should have been staying.
Near the tall waterfall with the water falling so steeply, Jian Chen could not possibly forget the location where he and his teacher met.
There should have been a hut next to the waterfall but now only the grass that grew busily there.
"Maybe I came too early..." Jian Chen thought hard then shook his head slowly. "No way, the teacher's residence should have been here ten years ago."
To make sure he was not misplaced, Jian Chen flew quite high yet there was no waterfall in the forest other than the one his teacher was staying at.
In the forest there were also no huts or buildings of his kind, Jian Chen was quite certain that the place of the waterfall was the place where he trained with his teacher. After all he was there for seven years must have known the place well.
Jian Chen thought hard on a boulder, it was impossible for his long journey to go to waste.
The only possibility was that Jian Chen had come earlier than his supposed destiny, because in his first life he had met his teacher at the age of 18.
Tired of thinking and not getting a solution after a few hours of silence, Jian Chen chose to go to the previous city while rethinking about his situation in the future.
