Chapter 18: The Immortal Mountain

Sun City, the capital of the Land of Fire, is one of the most famous cities in the world.

As the capital of an established powerhouse, Cité Soleil has stood tall in the world for far too long. It is said that the City of the Sun existed before the Land of Fire was founded, and it is the oldest city in the world. Over the years, countless stories have taken place in Sun City, including myths and legends, as well as rural anecdotes. One of the most famous, the unique "God of Fire" is majestic and intimidating the world, and it is a myth of an era that lasted for more than a hundred years until the God of Fire suddenly disappeared.

As a city that has been born of mythology, Sun City is bound to be one of the most loved and concerned cities.

It's hard to explain that Morun's mood at this time is different from the orderly and orderly city of Sin City, and unlike the high-rise buildings of Sin City, none of which are available in Sun City. What it has is an ancient aura that is exuded all the time. It's like a ruin, and it's like walking into a new world, and the senses are suddenly impacted by the strong atmosphere of the ancient era.

Sun City is so unique.

The caravan of the lava family pulled the carts were all alien beasts, and they were like flying, Sin City was on the border, and it was a three-month trip from Sun City, and it only took a month and a half for the caravan pulled by such alien beasts to drive at high speed.

The caravan returned to the lava family, and the outsiders of Molun were not invited, so naturally they did not follow.

He got off the bus on an avenue, and the first thing he did was to look for a hotel.

There is no Bauhinia Inn in Sun City, and the Bauhinia caravan has not yet opened here, it is mainly stationed in the Land of Winds. Morun ended up looking for a secluded tavern, which was a two-story building, but there was also a bar-like place on the ground floor, a restaurant for daytime meals on the first floor, and accommodation on the second floor, and Morun lived on the second floor.

Except for a few bags of clothing and materials, the Morun brought very few salutes.

When he came, Mo Lun had already inquired, and after the New Year, the ninja school officially opened, and it was only seven days before the New Year. At that time, Sunshine City will hold a huge celebration event - the Fire Temple Festival. For the Fire Temple Festival, Mo Lun knows a little bit, under the 'Immortal Mountain' in the back mountain of Sun City, there is a temple, the Fire Temple. The temple is ancient, and compared with Sun City, there are many temples in Tallinn, and one after another important ancestors of the Fire Nation are buried. In order to pay tribute to them, every year on New Year's Day, a fire temple festival is held in all parts of the city of the sun and even in the land of fire.

These are just some of the claims made by hearsay. Mo Lun looked through the relevant books and found that the Fire Temple seemed to have always shouldered a mission, and this mission was related to the immortal mountain, and he did not know what it was. But the existence of the temple must have its significance, and if it can exist for so long and still not disappear, then its significance is very far-reaching. This meaning may not only be a spiritual tribute, but also a substantial unknown.

Mo Lun was interested at the time, so he collected some consults, but after all, he had no substantive interest in him, so he just needed to understand it, and he didn't plan to study it in detail.

The Fire Temple Festival is a festival in the Land of Fire, and Morun is from the country of grass, pomegranate, and has no sense of belonging to this country, let alone the country of fire. He is now looking for a house, and this time he does not plan to buy it, but rents it for a year, and he only has one year of further education. There is no accommodation at the ninja school, so all room and board are taken care of by yourself.

With the Fire Temple Festival just around the corner and many people flocking to the city, it can be difficult to find a place to live.

Fortunately, Mo Lun has a "huge amount of money", even if he doesn't find a house, he can live in a tavern for a long time, one fire gold a day, and four hundred fire gold a year.

For most of the day, Morun did not find a suitable place. Sun City is huge, a circle bigger than Sin City, and there is no such thing as a bounty column here, so he can get very little information, and most of the time he relies on asking. Mo Lun knows that in any city and any city, there will be a kind of existence similar to the middle level, where information of a city is gathered, and if you want to find a house, you will save a lot of effort to go here.

Mo Lun didn't know where this kind of place was, and he was not in a hurry, after thinking about it, he gave up continuing to search, returned to the tavern and began to sort out the medicinal herbs. Before leaving, Mo Lun purchased several pairs of materials in advance, spending nearly 1 million world coins. Sun City was not a sin city, and commerce here was not so prosperous, so he wasn't sure if he could buy all the medicinal herbs in Sun City. Nowadays, refining the "Elixir of Rebirth" and "Elixir of Cleansing" is his focus. When it was time to cultivate, maybe he would have to find some other medicine to assist in his cultivation, and he couldn't stop.

The beakers were placed, the materials were processed one by one, and Moron was in the tavern and began to refine the potion.

※※

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and the grandeur of the Fire Temple Festival exceeded Molun's expectations.

Standing upstairs, Mo Lun looked out of the window, only to see the bustling of pedestrians, and nine out of every ten people could see that they were wearing a flaming outfit with strange fireworks jewelry on their heads. But the most striking thing is the strange beasts that crowd in the crowd, including toads with hats and short knives, giant snakes slithering through the streets with scales, and a group of large dogs and puppies of different breeds. There are also huge mountain eagles, flying snapping turtles, colorful dragon eagles, and so on.

It's hard to imagine that a psychic beast that is usually rare to see would appear in the same place at the same time.

The Fire Temple Festival, for the Fire Country, is far more important than Morun imagined.

It was the first festival that Morun had experienced in person, and he put aside his research on potions, left the tavern, and joined the river. With the flow of people, at noon, Mo Lun came to the mountain behind Sun City, the Immortal Mountain.

The Fire Temple stands at the foot of the Immortal Mountain, and behind the majestic temple gate, there is an open world. In the west, the stone pagoda is like a forest, which is the most valued place in the fire temple, because the ancestors such as Tongren are buried here, and most of the people go to Tallinn in the west. To the east, there is a huge square, where many troupe-like teams are busy, and when the memorial is in Tallinn, this is the most lively place, the square of celebration.

Mo Lun broke away from the flow of people and came to the east, he did not follow to visit Tallinn, because to pay tribute to these ancestors of the Fire Country, you need to kneel, he will not kneel to some inexplicable outsiders, so he came to the square to wander.

The Immortal Mountain was very tall and large, and its whole body was jet black, like a large piece of iron. The warm breath emanated from the mountain, a little hot, the temperature here was 5 degrees higher than that of Sun City, Mo Lun felt it carefully, and found that the fire attribute in his body Zhuo Luo was jumping. He found a corner and sat down, meditating for a while, his eyes shining with joy.

Meditating under the Immortal Mountain, compared to meditating in Sin City, the refining efficiency of Zhuo Luo is one-fifth higher, not only the refining efficiency, but also the absorption speed, which is also greatly enhanced.

"This is a special volcano!"

Mo Lun looked at the black immortal mountain with some surprise, and some conjectures in his heart were faintly confirmed. The capital of the Fire Nation was built here, and the reason for the existence of Sun City seems to be closely related to this immortal mountain!

"You can improve so much just by being at the foot of the mountain, but what if you practice in the mountain?"

Mo Lun's heart churned, and he suddenly remembered the matter of ninja school. At that time, the first option given by Uncle Lu was 50 million world coins, and the second option only had one year of further study, and it was also added in front of the 'name' of the lava clan, that is, ordinary people who wanted to come to the Sun City Ninja School to study, but they couldn't come, and they had to be recommended by the big family. At first, Morun thought that the knowledge of ninjas was worth 50 million world coins, but now he found that the key seemed to be not here, but the place of study-the Immortal Mountain.

The ninja school is in Sun City, but the study is in the Immortal Mountain.

"No wonder Uncle Lu said that the ninja school should arrange the time for further study and cultivate here...... You have to line up, right?" Mo Lun sighed with some emotion, and secretly rejoiced that he had chosen the right place, this kind of place was not accessible to ordinary people, and it was estimated that it was a cultivation place for the children of the family or the fire attribute students with excellent grades. After studying in the Immortal Mountain for a year, with the Elixir of Cleansing and the Elixir of Rebirth, if it goes well, you may be able to cultivate the second layer of "Glass" and step into the third layer.

Mo Lun suddenly remembered the 'Thousand Cows', this guy said at the time that it took him more than ten years to complete the cultivation of the "Glass", if he came to the Immortal Mountain to practice, it is estimated that this time will be shortened by at least half! 7 years, 6 years, 5 years, or even shorter; Mo Lun thought of the big fat man again, don't look at this guy fat like a pig, but his real age is the same as Mo Lun, and even a few months younger than him - 18 years old. But the big fat man had already completed the "Beginner Meditation Method", and cultivated one of the secret techniques, the "Multiplication Technique", as if he wanted to use this to train into a very powerful "hegemonic body", and he wanted to go to another world to awaken the bloodline or something.

This comparison reveals that the distance between small countries and large countries is like a moat.

Mo Lun was actually wrong, the gap between small countries and big countries is very large, but it is not so outrageous. Mo Lun compared the young master of the big family of the Fire Country with an ordinary ninja in the Grass Durian Country, and the result was of course the difference between heaven and earth. These young masters are born delicate, and if they awaken their bloodlines, they are even more spoiled. The resources spent on these young masters every year alone are enough for a small family's income and wealth for a year, and with so many resources concentrated on a dozen people, they can not make progress.

Sun City Ninja School, among the students who cultivated the 'Beginner Meditation Method', there were also many students who took about ten years to complete, which was similar to Qianniu, and the gap was not as huge as imagined.

As a place of study, the Immortal Mountain itself is a sacred place for the cultivation of fire-type ninjas, and it is of course excellent to practice in it, but not everyone can stay in the Immortal Mountain for a long time. If Mo Lun hadn't been recommended by the Lava Family with the Lava Order, he wouldn't have been able to practice in the Immortal Mountain.

......

There was a sudden commotion in Tallinn to the west, and when Morun looked from afar, he saw that the memorial service was over, and a huge stream of people was pouring towards the huge square to the east. Of course, more of them are returning to Sun City, and the main purpose of their visit to the Fire Temple is to pay tribute to their ancestors.

The east square was lively for a while, and Mo Lun wandered for a while, lost interest, and returned to Sun City.

And the Fire Temple Festival has just begun!
