Transmigrant Alchemist And His Magic Wagon

Trying and failing

"Revelation!" exclaim Ling Zizhou.

Not yet had Mu Lian avoided the trap that was inches from her legs, Mu Lian's arms were pulled.

Mu Lian's body was lifted so that her face was facing the ground. Someone shouldered Mu Lian and left the area full of traps.

"..." - ".(Mu Lian)

"Are you hurt?" meimei asked with a worried look. Mu Lian lowered from the shoulder and stood facing Meimei and Meng Zhi.

"I'm fine, jiejie," Mu Lian replied. Mu Lian turned her head towards Ling Zizhou, the person who had just shouldered himself.

"No. You're not ready yet. We better wait for a few more days," Ling Zizhou said as he frowned.

"I'll avoid that trap if you don't carry me" Mu Lian continued, "But thank you for taking me out of that trap-filled location. I want to stop but confused how to,"

"good job. We rest until your chi recovers" said Meng Zhi.

Mu Lian only realized that her chi was starting to decrease, even though it was only a few glasses. Mu Lian who was used to abundant chi in her dantian felt tired just by losing a little chi.

If Ling Zizhou and the others knew about this, it was possible that they were rolling around on the ground so exasperatedly. Who wouldn't want to have abundant chi?

"Mu Lian, if you want to stop saying that. We must have picked you up soon," Ling Zizhou said.

"I really didn't have the time to tell," Mu Lian said listlessly.

Yet it seemed that Ling Zizhou could not accept Mu Lian's reasoning and began to lecture her like a mother who found her daughter coming home very late.

"Huft, I didn't even have time to react seeing Zizhou carrying Lian'er and taking her out of the place" Meimei said, shaking his head.

"Ens. Zizhou's reflexes are very good, especially with his talent in cultivation, I'm sure he will become one of the strongest cultivators. Even entered the top 100," Meng Zhi said as she nodded.

"Great one?!" Meimei.

"I heard from Master Mu that when he was 10 years old, something happened to him so Zizhou was traumatized.

Then Zizhou met Master Yi at the age of 14. Since then Zizhou was raised by Master Yi himself and taught cultivation when he was 15 years old" said Meng Zhi.

"Oh. So he was late to study. Still, achieve foundation formation within 4 years. What a great achievement" Meimei said.

Ling Zizhou and Mu Lian had already walked far ahead. Ling Zizhou continued to lecture Mu Lian in a loud voice until it sounded from where Meimei and Meng Zhi were standing.

"I heard that Zizhou's weapon science has reached the level of consciousness," Meng Zhi said.

"really? Huft, a truly terrible young man," Meimei said.

Meimei's remarks were not baseless because in order to rise to a higher level in weapons science, one had to learn thousands of knowledge from his chosen weapon.

The level in weapons science itself has several levels, namely contracts (choosing weapons and then familiarizing yourself with the weapons of choice), mastery, awareness, concentration, wisdom, and threshold.

There are levels above the threshold but rarely any surpass the threshold level. As for those who managed to cross the threshold level, they chose to hide and never showed their weapon science to anyone.

"Lian'er and Zizhou are far away, let's go after them" Meng Zhi said.

Mu Lian and the others returned to the resting place. That afternoon Ling Zizhou disapproved of Mu Lian hunting spirit beasts.

Meimei and Meng Zhi felt Ling Zizhou would not be able to be persuaded to change his mind so that they were silent and not pushy.

"Are you hungry or do you like to eat this meat?" ling Zizhou said.

"It's not my fault. I am very tired and need more food intake" Mu Lian said as she spread her shoulders.

That afternoon Meimei and Meng Zhi ate. Meimei and Meng Zhi filled their food intake after six days of not eating.

"Jiejie, why does jiejie and Senior Meng often have dinner with grandfather?" said Mu Lian.

Meimei said that he and Meng Zhi did not need to eat much, but as Mu Lian Meimei and Meng Zhi often came to Mu Haocun's house to eat together.

"Md. Zhizhi longed for Master Mu and wanted to reminisce by gathering together like she used to" Meimei said.

"Think of it since senior came, master has always been impatient to gather together with Master Mu and Senior Meng," Ling Zizhou said.

"Ah. Also true. I rarely meet Master Yi but ever since jiejie and Senior Meng came, things have changed," Mu Lian nodded.

After lunch, Mu Lian tried to meditate because Ling Zizhou did not allow Mu Lian to hunt spirit beasts that day.

In a meditative stance, Mu Lian felt the chi around her. However sensing that the chi around him was thinning, Mu Lian opened her eyes.

Ling Zizhou and Meng Zhi were nowhere to be seen around the cave while Meimei went back and forth in front of the cave entrance. Mu Lian moved up from the ground and then wriggled.

"Jiejie, can we move to a location with more chi?" ask Mu Lian.

Meimei who was cutting the meat of Opposum into pieces stopped when he heard Mu Lian's voice.

"Oh. Lian'er, is the chi here thinning?" meimei said with a smile.

Mu Lian shuddered at the smiling woman while 'mutilizing' an Opposum. In his hand was a knife covered in blood.

"Ehem. Yes, today is already very thinning compared to yesterday," Mu Lian said as she massaged her forehead.

"Alright, let's wait for Zizhou and Zhizhi to come back and talk about it again" Meimei said.

Mu Lian nodded then hurriedly walked into the cave. Mu Lian sat at the very bottom of the cave while sniffing the concocted medicine pouch.

Thirty minutes later, Ling Zhizou was seen entering the cave with Meng Zhi.

"Senior Meng, Zizhou," Mu Lian said.

"Lian. You're not meditating?" said Meng Zhi.

Seeing Mu Lian standing up and greeting made her astonished. Usually when he returns from the patrol the girl is meditating.

"What's wrong?" ling Zizhou asked after seeing the unusualness.

"Can we move to a location with more chi?" said Mu Lian.

"Oh. Chi here is not enough for you?!" said Meng Zhi surprised.

"Hm. The next resting place is a little closer to the top. I. don't know if the location is safe or not" Ling Zizhou said worriedly.

"The highest level spirit beast in this mountain is level 3 right? As long as we avoid the tracker type I think it's okay," Mu Lian said after a long silence.

While at the Sky Feet Mountain, Mu Lian wanted to increase her cultivation level. It made her feel calmer to spend the day in this world.

Mu Lian and the others discussed for twenty minutes where Ling Zizhou finally lost his voice and was forced to promise to take Mu Lian and the others to the resting place the next day.

That night, Ling Zizhou who was still annoyed at being outvoted, he channeled his irritation by talking continuously to Mu Lian.

When observing the darkening sky, waiting for food to cook, or when he was bouncing to bring down food.

Mu Lian turned to Meimei for help, but Meimei and Meng Zhi were meditating. Mu Lian looked at the pair of lovers fixedly.

The chi around the cave was already very thin, so for what purpose did the two people meditate? Mu Lian was originally about to imitate Meimei and Meng Zhi but her body felt heavy.

Finally Mu Lian closed her eyes, feeling Ling Zizhou's increasingly faint voice.

"Senior, when do we leave?" ask Ling Zizhou.

As the morning approached, Ling Zizhou woke up from his not-so-well sleep, caused by a girl.

The girl could have fallen asleep while she was talking. Ling Zizhou looked at Mu Lian who was still sound asleep with a sharp look.

"Awhile more. Let Lian'er sleep longer" Meng Zhi replied.

Ling Zizhou nodded and helped Meimei cook breakfast. Ever since Mu Lian said that she liked the dishes made by her, Ling Zizhou had always taken the time to help Meimei.

Master Yi had advised him that he should take care of Mu Lian with all his ability. Ling Zizhou also carried out his teacher's message including in maintaining Mu Lian's food intake.

That morning Ling Zizhou and Meimei made Opposum soup. Mu Lian had trouble eating Opposum meat that had a lot of fiber so Ling Zizhou made it soup for the meat to be more tender.

The delicious fragrance enveloped the entire cave until it entered the nose of Mu Lian who was asleep. His nose throbbed, inhaling greedily that delicious fragrance.

Ling Zizhou nodded in satisfaction seeing that his soup had managed to wake Mu Lian up and arouse her appetite.

Mu Lian wriggled then moved to near Ling Zizhou with her eyes still closed.

"Heh, look at Senior Meimei. We managed to resuscitate someone from his dreams," Ling Zizhou said as he continued "It looks like this soup will be able to resuscitate someone from the illusion of a tier 4 type trapper,"

"You're just there. Lian'er, open your eyes and immediately eat the soup before it gets cold," Meimei said as he tried to wake Mu Lian up.

"Mmm, uh,"

Meimei circulated the bowl filled with warm soup on Meng Zhi and Ling Zizhou. When the bowl was placed in front of Mu Lian, Mu Lian's eyes automatically widened.

"..." - ".(Ling Zizhou)

Seeing Mu Lian take the bowl and prepare to devour the soup, Meimei took his share and sat down. After breakfast, Mu Lian and the others prepared for a hike, heading for a new resting location.

Ling Zizhou took the lead in front, after which Meimei and Mu Lian walked side by side while Meng Zhi walked behind the three.

The ascent lasted for a long time because Ling Zizhou was unsure whether the area in front of him was a trapping-type spirit beast area or not.

When it was also Meng Zhi intervened and identified what spirit beast was occupying the area.

If the Sky Feet Mountain was still exactly the same as Ling Zizhou remembered, it was possible that right now Mu Lian and the others were already sitting leisurely at the resting location.

Mu Lian and Meimei comforted Ling Zizhou, saying that be it an hour or two delay is not a problem for them. The important thing is that they arrive at the resting place.

On the way to the resting location, Mu Lian witnessed firsthand Ling Zizhou and Meimei handling the greedy tier 2 and 3.

Their battle against spirit beasts was already far above Mu Lian. Mu Lian was to the point of embarrassment as she recalled herself fighting the spirit beast.

"Wait," said Meng Zhi. Ling Zizhou stopped at his place followed by Mu Lian and Meimei. Meng Zhi advanced forward past Ling Zizhou then stared at the ground in front of him fixedly.

"Take a few steps back" said Meng Zhi. Mu Lian and the others retreated very far, sheltering behind shady trees.

If a soul formation cultivator said take a few steps back, retreat as far as possible. Their scale with cultivators below was very far, like the earth and the seventh heaven.

Meng Zhi looked extremely small from where Mu Lian was standing, but Mu Lian could clearly see the trap after trap that was triggered when Meng Zhi passed by.

If you get used to your room being like a broken ship, you will be astonished to see the mess that those traps are causing around Meng Zhi.

Meng Zhi moved so fast that it looked like a shadow. Loud thumping accompanied every trap that was triggered.

The ground slid a few meters into the ground creating a crater-like scene.Suddenly Meng Zhi fluttered. Fortunately, under his feet there was no trap.

Meimei swiftly made a hand gesture, launching an *mantera that Mu Lian had never seen.

Upon seeing the series of gestures, Mu Lian felt a surge of chi from Meimei's finger facing the sky.

Meng Zhi moved back. Before long, Meng Zhi approached a thick, leafy tree. Meng Zhi slashed at his thick trunk like slashing at tofu.

Trees falling with a gedebum sound. A creature resembling a cuttlefish came out from behind the leaves.

Meng Zhi slashed the creature right in the middle then it lay lifeless around the tree.

"I didn't expect to encounter a tier 3 type trapper," Ling Zizhou said.

Mu Lian and the others approached Meng Zhi. They walked very carefully so as not to fall into holes in the ground.

"Wow, level 3 is this terrible?" said Mu Lian.

"That terrible one was actually his illusory trap. You remember when senior Meng suddenly stopped?" ling Zizhou said.

"Eh? You mean, Senior Meng fell into that trap-type illusion?" mu Lian said in disbelief. His feet accidentally slipped from the edge of the hole.

"Awas," Ling Zizhou said as he held onto Mu Lian's arm. Meimei held the other arm of Mu Lian.

"Don't let Lian'er talk, Zizhou. Don't you see the location isn't right for a chat?" meimei said as he glanced towards Ling Zizhou.

"Alright, Senior," Ling Zizhou said after opening and closing his mouth a few times.

Mu Lian and the others continued their journey unhindered. The spirit beast faced was not even a trapper type.

The third arrived at his destination, Mu Lian felt herself turning into a caveman. Because the resting place this time is a cave but larger than the previous cave.

Even so, what Mu Lian felt when she was having fun was a sense of satisfaction. Satisfied because their trip was a great success. Mu Lian and the others did not meet any type of tracker at all.

* The spell in the world is not a speech/words but a hand gesture like shinobi in n*ruto 😁
