School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 649: Chapter 725: Famous Medicine Mountain Villa

Under the night sky, a BMW Z4 sped across the ground, racing on the airport highway at 150% over the speed limit, causing other vehicles to hastily give way.

The Black Feathered Chicken cautiously stayed to Chen Nan’s left, terrified that Gongsun Yudie would suddenly go berserk and start a fight to the death with it.

After completing the procedures at the airport, it was just 6:30 in the evening with the flight taking off in half an hour.

During security check, an animal like the Black Feathered Chicken wouldn’t normally be allowed in the cabin and could only be checked in, but the creature took advantage of an inattentive security guard to slip through as a streak of dark light and then hid inside Chen Nan’s clothes.

Unbeknownst to anyone, it avoided both the plane ticket and the check-in fee...

Two and a half hours later, it was already 9:30 at night, and the plane landed smoothly in Nanji City.

Chen Nan pulled out the Black Feathered Chicken, saying, ”Dead Chicken, didn’t you say you have some old friends here? Can you still find your way around?”

The Black Feathered Chicken flew up and circled in the air, its eyes widening as it scanned the surroundings, then felt completely dumbfounded. After several hundred years of changes, it couldn’t even distinguish north from south, let alone find its way.

Chen Nan knew this damn chicken was unreliable and took out his smartphone to navigate.

High-tech proved more trustworthy, quickly locating the Famous Medicine Mountain Villa, which was ten kilometers away from the airport.

The airport was already built in a suburban area, and the Famous Medicine Mountain Villa was in the opposite direction of the city, essentially at the edge of wilderness.

Considering cabs too slow, both of them and the chicken left the airport and used their Qinggong to run toward the west.

Needless to say, the lazy Black Feathered Chicken definitely stayed on Chen Nan’s shoulder, letting Chen Nan carry it, which, in its narcissistic words, made Chen Nan its steed.

Of course, it could only strut around with those words under normal circumstances. If it dared to say that now, Chen Nan would definitely throw it to the ground and stomp on it a few times as a punishment, letting the beast understand why flowers are so brightly colored and why being stepped on hurts so much.

To a master like Chen Nan, ten kilometers was only a minute or two away.

Although Gongsun Yudie’s cultivation was not as advanced as his and she ran a bit slower, it only took her three minutes to reach the base of a giant mountain, with four powerful ancient characters inscribed above the mountain gate—Famous Medicine Mountain Villa.

On either side of the mountain gate stood two young men in blue robes, each holding a sword, tasked with guarding the gate.

The Black Feathered Chicken seemed somewhat excited, letting out several crowing sounds, and sighed, ”Hundreds of years have passed, and this place hasn’t changed at all, but who knows if that old immortal is still alive.”

”Let’s just go ask!”

Chen Nan glanced at the Black Feathered Chicken and Gongsun Yudie, ready to head toward the mountain gate.

But at that moment, the Black Feathered Chicken turned its head to glance at Gongsun Yudie and said, ”Little Miss Gongsun, you better head back. The Medicine Villa has a rule that, apart from their own kinsfolk, women are not permitted inside.”

Gongsun Yudie snorted coldly, not taking its words seriously, and followed Chen Nan.

”Gentlemen, my name is Chen Nan. I’m here to request an audience with your master. Could you please help me relay the message?” Chen Nan went forward and said with a bow.

Although it was already the twenty-first century, many ancient sects still retained old customs, as could be seen from the ancient attire of the two young men guarding the gate. Hence, Chen Nan slightly altered the way he spoke.

”There’s no need for that,” said one of the young men, pointing at the stairs behind the gate. ”There are ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps leading to the mountaintop. If you walk up each one, you will naturally meet our master.”

”Thank you!”

Chen Nan turned around, taking Gongsun Yudie’s hand and was ready to head upward.

”Please hold on!” Two young men stretched out their hands simultaneously, blocking their way and said to Gongsun Yudie, ”According to the ancient rules of the Famous Medicine Mountain Villa that have stood for thousands of years, foreign women are not allowed to enter. Please understand.”

Gongsun Yudie frowned, ”It’s all about gender equality now, how can you still have gender discrimination!”

”This isn’t discrimination against the lady, but the rules within the Villa. We’re really sorry.” The two young men were quite polite in their wording, but their tone was very calm, without any emotional fluctuations.

After a moment of silence, Chen Nan looked at Gongsun Yudie and said, ”Yudie, how about... you go back first?”

Gongsun Yudie’s eyes fixed on him, and after a good while, she finally said, ”You go in, I will wait for you to come out here.”

”Well... okay then!”

Chen Nan suddenly felt a bit reluctant, worried that Gongsun Yudie would have left by the time he came out.

Gongsun Yudie gave a slight smile, and took the initiative to give Chen Nan a hug, saying, ”Hurry up, Su Qingqing is still waiting for you at home!”

Chen Nan nodded, picked up the Black Feathered Chicken, and turned to walk towards the mountain gate.

According to the two young men guarding the gate, there were a total of 99,999 steps, and one must climb them one by one. After climbing more than five thousand steps, Chen Nan was getting impatient.

Rotating his Inner Strength, he prepared to speed up and rush upwards, but then the Black Feathered Chicken hastily said, ”Don’t use your Inner Strength, or it will be the end of you.”

”What do you mean?”

”This is a rule of the Famous Medicine Mountain Villa. Anyone who comes to seek medicine must climb up step by step to prove their determination. The stairs are sentient; if you use Inner Strength, the higher you go, the taller the steps will become. Eventually, you’ll encounter steps a hundred meters high, and with each step, it’ll be as difficult as ascending to heaven. But if you don’t use Inner Strength, these steps will remain at this height, with no changes whatsoever.” The Black Feathered Chicken explained, ”These thousands of steps actually form a Big Formation and will change according to the strength of a person’s Inner Strength. The stronger the Inner Strength you use, the taller it will grow.”

Chen Nan was taken aback.

Fortunately, the Black Feathered Chicken was familiar with this place; otherwise, those gatekeepers below wouldn’t have mentioned anything, and he would have definitely been exhausted by the effort.

...

Nearly a hundred thousand steps to climb, one by one, and without using Inner Strength.

Chen Nan took a whole twelve hours to climb up, reaching the mountain top at ten in the morning the next day, with his legs almost about to break. But thinking of Su Qingqing, it seemed all worth it.

Looking at the buildings on the mountain top, Chen Nan wondered if he had arrived in the ancient world.

All the houses here were traditional architecture, and just like the two people at the bottom of the mountain, everyone was dressed in ancient robes, giving off a sense of otherworldly hermits.

The Black Feathered Chicken surveyed the surroundings and pointed to the left, ”It seems that the old guy hasn’t died yet. Kid, follow me.”

The Black Feathered Chicken’s old acquaintance is still alive?

Chen Nan was surprised. A person, or a demon, who had returned six hundred years, how strong must their Cultivation be?

Although curious, Chen Nan was more excited.

Since the Black Feathered Chicken’s old friend was still alive, getting the medicine should be much easier. His girl was finally going to be saved!
