Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 225 - Weird Habits

Chen Long was actually shocked to learn that he had disappeared for over a hundred years and was trapped in a Pocket Dimension.

This place they were at had never experienced the alternation of day and night, there was only day the entire time, so Chen Long had a hard time calculating the time that had passed.

He then shared a fact that made Yao Han and the others come back shocked. "so apparently. That explains this place as very strange. The flow of time was also different from the outside world. Slower."

Chen Long belonged to a cultivator who was an expert in time magic, so it was quite easy for him to know about it. According to his calculations, he had been stuck there for a dozen or several tens of years, but it turned out to be over a hundred years in the outside world."

Bing Lizi then remembered the other Pocket Dimension which also had a different time flow, but the opposite of this Orchid Flower Dimension.

"Faster flow of time? Where is that place, Senior?" Meirong felt enthusiastic because such a place was very profitable for whoever the owner was.

"A place no one ever imagined. Adjacent to one of the ten most dangerous and forbidden places in the Blue Moon Continent."

Meirong, Yutian, and Tian Jian compactly thought hard and tried to guess the location of the whereabouts of the place. The first to guess was Tian Jian.

"If the place is still part of the Green Forest Country, there is actually only one place that comes to mind. I doubt it, but what might Senior mean is the Desert of Death?"

Meirong and Yutian both coughed loudly, feeling disbelief in what they heard. Bing Lizi confirmed that later made Meirong suspicious.

"Senior Bing, you don't plan on having Han'er there, do you?"

"That's true. The place I named the Valley of the Four Conferred Knights was the best place for Xiao Han to continue raising his cultivation level to an even higher realm. That place was much safer and more comfortable than even Star Moon Island."

Meirong could not protest because Bing Lizi sounded so convincing. Meanwhile, Chen Long had Yao Han take out some food to fill the stomach and pamper the tongue.

"Maybe it's best that Uncle Master Chen try this." Yao Han gave a bottle containing thirty brown-colored pills.

"Pills? Everything you made? I don't believe this." Chen Long had a hard time accepting the fact Yao Han was able to produce a new type of pill that was impossible for an Alchemist his age.

The pill Yao Han gave him was a Nutritional Pill that each of his pills could meet his nutritional needs for an entire day. Chen Long instantly swallowed all those pills in one moment and felt their efficacy.

"Very good, Xiao Han. Now my stomach is satisfied enough, but not yet with my tongue."

Except for Bing Lizi and Jiu Jinyu, all of them coughed loudly at Chen Long's way of eating plus the sentence he said afterwards.

That one bottle should be enough to supply one person for a month, but Chen Long spent it in three breaths. Even he still wanted to taste other foods to pamper the tongue.

"How about this? Honey Grass is a hundred years old. I usually eat it as a snack."

Chen Long received a cloth bag filled with Honey Grass while raising both eyebrows.

"Snack?" Then Chen Long smirked. "Senior Feng must have often said you were a freak because of your habit."

Yao Han smiled faintly. "I'm used to it."

Chen Long laughed loudly while ruffling Yao Han's hair, then asked Yao Han to take out the Time Serum he had created.

One bottle Chen Long asked for was given without objection. Chen Long promised to replace it before pouring all the contents of that one bottle of Time Serum into the bag containing Honey Grass. In an instant, all of the Honey Grass inside grew to at least five hundred years of age.

"Ah, this is a new favor. It's been a long time since I've felt it." Chen Long looked satisfied enjoying the extremely old Honey Grass.

Meirong and Yutian were astonished beyond measure. Now they could see firsthand Chen Long's strange habits that Feng Xian had mentioned first.

Yao Han also took out the Moon Peach Arak and poured it out for himself and the others, except for Jiu Jinyu. The fragrant and sweet aroma of wine seduces the smell of the Fox Queen.

"Hey, kid. Your name's Yao something, isn't it? Give wine to this Queen."

Yao Han turned his head then looked at Jiu Jinyu with a strange look on his face. Not understanding the way Jiu Jinyu's mind is not aware of her condition.

"Uncle Master Chen..." Yao Han then whispered to Chen Long which made the old man frown for a while then let out a long sigh.

"All right, it's up to you."

Chen Long waved his hand at Jiu Jinyu, removing the roots of the large tree wrapped around her and replacing them by making wooden bracelets on Jiu Jinyu's wrists and feet. The bracelets suppressed the Fox Queen's strength until she was weaker than Yao Han.

"What does this mean, rotten dragon?" Jiu Jinyu had a moment of pleasure, then was confused by Chen Long's actions.

Chen Long did not reply and chose to continue eating and enjoying the sweet wine. "Hmm. I haven't felt wine this well for a long time."

"Based on a strange rotten dragon," sneered Jiu Jinyu as she stared cynically.

Yao Han approached Jiu Jinyu while thrusting out one urn of wine. "Please drink, Senior."

"You should call me Queen, boy. But due to your status as an East Wind disciple, you may call me Senior Jiu. At least you're better than that rotten dragon and that old ice." Jiu Jinyu grabbed and opened the lid of the wine jar, then smelled deeply into its scent.

Yao Han raised his eyebrows next to his. "You sound like you know my teacher, Senior?"

"Indeed who doesn't know East Wind Feng Xian? The only human living on Star Moon Island."

Jiu Jinyu's reply not only surprised Yao Han, but the others as well.

"Senior even knew my teacher's full name."

"We've met even this Queen once getting help from her. Back then we were both at the cultivation level of the Core Realm."

Jiu Jinyu shared a bit of her experience. At that time they accidentally met, both of them traveled quite far from their respective residences. Feng Xian helps Jiu Jinyu who is surrounded by some powerful demons even though she knows Jiu Jinyu is a spirit animal.

"This queen hates humans. Our people always thought humans were evil and lowly creatures. Meeting your teacher, this Queen thinks she is a human being different from the others. That meeting was the first and last time, but this Queen still hears a lot of news related to your teacher."

Seriate...
