Chapter 535: Problem
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nurous Hundred Year realm First level Demonic Beasts were used as lab rats by Bei Feng.
There was a total of 64 Demonic Beasts, 16 per each Hundred Year realm cultivation level. Very soon, the First level Hundred Year realm Demonic Beasts were used up.
Bei Feng was like a mad scientist at the peak of his lunacy as he stretched his claws towards the Second level Hundred Year realm Demonic Beasts.
However, reality gave him a very sound slap.
As he watched this Second level Hundred Year realm Demonic Beast’s movents, Bei Feng realized that he’d approached this in a wrong manner.
Once the Demonic Beast was released, it similarly began to run. But when it reached a certain distance, without any hesitation, it roused its blood Qi and, under Bei Feng’s nose, forced the Thousand Transformations needle out.
“This is a direction that I hadn’t considered. This is just a Second level Hundred Year realm Demonic Beast. Isn’t it even easier for stronger Demonic Beasts to break free from the control? Beyond 1,000 ters, when my influence cannot reach the Thousand Transformations, there’s too many ways to remove the needle.”
Bei Feng shook his head. He was only practicing on First level Hundred Year realm Demonic Beasts previously, so he hadn’t discovered this issue. But with the Second level Demonic Beasts, this problem was exposed quickly.
A Second level Hundred Year realm Demonic Beast had higher intelligence. It knew that the needle in its head was not anything good. So, the mont it escaped, the first thing it did was to remove the needle!
With his research stuck, Bei Feng couldn’t think of any good ideas right now. Sighing lightly, he commanded the guards, “Take these Demonic Beasts away, but don’t kill them. I still have use for them.”
“Yes!”
The guards nodded, scratching their heads with confusion as they led the Demonic Beasts away.
Bei Feng did not continue brooding over the problem of the Thousand Transformations. Instead, he took out large amounts of resources and began to cultivate.
In this period of ti, Bei Feng’s cultivation was burning up large amounts of resources, with values reaching billions of HCD. However, he did not feel any heartache over them at all.
As long as one’s strength increased, there was naturally no need to worry about money.
One of the resources he had was the Cattail Devil Leaf. It was a spirit herb that could unlock the potential in living creatures, and the price for each one was several hundred million HCD. They were goods that were in demand, but had no supply.
This kind of spirit herbs was effective even to Thousand Year Kings. With Cattail Devil Leaf as the main ingredient, and so supporting ingredients, it was enough to refine so high-level pills for cultivation!
Bei Feng had around a hundred Cattail Devil Leaves with him right now. These were kept in spatial rings by so clever cultivators, so they were not destroyed in the chaotic battles.
And this was just a small portion. Most of the Cattail Devil Leaves had been destroyed, but even so, these hundred Cattail Devil Leaves were already worth several Lu Families!
This was not even the most valuable spirit herb that Bei Feng had obtained. The true treasure was the Celestial Emperor Bamboo. If it was taken back and sold for money, the fortune it would bring in would be enough buy the entire Tianhuang City!
Of course, Bei Feng would never take sothing this good to sell. Besides, even if they had the life to obtain the money, they wouldn’t have the life to spend it.
The experts flooding over would be enough to tear Bei Feng into pieces!
Bei Feng was not stingy, either. These hundred-sothing stalks of Cattail Devil Leaf were going to be used for the Lu Family and the guards.
The Cattail Devil Leaves looked similar to the tobacco leaves on earth. The only difference was that they were red in color, and there was fine hair under the leaves. Under the hair were the fine veins of the leaves.
Each vein was filled with faint golden liquid which flowed in a loop, causing them to look extraordinary.
Each Cattail Devil Leaf was around half a ter tall. The entire surface of this plant was a leaf, without any roots. It looked exceedingly strange.
Bei Feng bit down on a Cattail Devil Leaf, and the fine hair lightly brushed against his mouth, lting upon contact with his saliva and forming a queer taste which almost caused him to throw up.
“Why is it so gross.” Bei Feng opened his mouth and made a bitter face. He didn’t dare to take another bite.
But after thinking about the effects of the Cattail Devil Leaf, he still pinched his nose and chomped down.
“Crunch, crunch!”
A sound like a rabbit chewing on carrots rang out. As he chewed, the golden fluid within the leaf flowed out, and before Bei Feng could taste it properly, it rged together with the queer taste from before.
“Hm? The taste changed!” Bei Feng chewed rapidly, preparing to swallow. But who would have thought that the golden liquid would rge with the queer taste from the dissolved leaf hair, forming a new taste!
It was like sticky nectar was moving around his tongue, and his sense of taste felt like it’d been fully opened as he savored the taste.
By the ti he ca back to himself, the entire leaf was finished.
“Oh, one truly cannot judge a book by its cover!”
Bei Feng could not help but sigh with amazent. This food had not gone through any special processing, but it actually possessed such unrivalled taste. If he’d rashly swallowed this Cattail Devil Leaf without tasting it properly, he would have missed this delectable taste completely.
After swallowing the Cattail Devil Leaf, he didn’t feel any discomfort. However, that was only on the surface. With his ntal power, he saw that the leaf had released a portion of pure energy. This kind of energy could be called the source of life energy!
It was not sothing that could cause a cultivator’s strength advance rapidly. Instead, all the energy would slowly sink into the body’s cells, constantly changing the body, and unlocking more potential.
Bei Feng closed his eyes and began to cultivate the Heavenly Laws Embodint Technique.
Bei Feng had already cultivated to the Third Layer of the technique so far. The day he broke through to the Fourth Layer would also be the day that he ascended to the Thousand Year King realm. At that ti, he could make another Dharma Idol manifestation.
The Dharma Idols were still very useful; when used with the Form and Will Fist, their strength would multiply greatly.
Although Heavenly Laws Embodint Technique used a lot of resources, it similarly gave Bei Feng very solid foundations.
Every layer of the Heavenly Laws Embodint Technique would birth a different Dharma Idol. At the sa ti, there would be an additional spirit power ability upon breaking through to the Thousand Year King realm.
The spirit power ability would not take up Bei Feng’s existing Dharma Idol slots. For example, if Bei Feng originally could only birth one spirit power ability, because of his Heavenly Laws Embodint Technique, he would have another spirit power ability. That way, he would have two spirit power abilities.
The Heavenly Laws Embodint Technique was divided into seven layers—there were three levels in ‘Earth’, three levels in ‘Heaven’, and one level in ‘Heaven Earth Law’.
From the fourth layer onward, he would be in the ‘Heaven’ category. As such, there was a large gap between the Third Layer and the Fourth Layer, and a huge amount of resources was required to bridge it!
As Bei Feng cultivated, the Heavenly Laws Embodint Technique slowly advanced through the Third Layer. Compared to before, it was actually progressing at an insane speed.
Cultivation was a ti-consuming endeavor. In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Bei Feng’s aura surged continuously, as restless as the sea!
When the first rays of the sun shone on Bei Feng’s body, his aura rose up abruptly, like hot oil eting water!
“Ka-cha!”
A sound only audible to Bei Feng rang out, and the Heavenly Laws Embodint Technique improved to greater heights!
“Hong!”
At this ti, Bei Feng’s aura had reached an extre level. Like a volcano erupting, it shot out in all directions.
“Hm?” Lu Bu exclaid lightly, and the entire guards unit put down all that they were doing and rushed towards the deepest part of the mountain gorge.
When they saw Bei Feng sitting cross-legged and cultivating, everyone loosed a sigh of relief.
With serious expressions on their faces, they surrounded Bei Feng and eyed the surroundings, watching for the slightest movents like hawks.
Middle stage of the Third Layer. My cultivation has also risen like a boat rising with the tide, reaching the Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer middle stage. My strength has improved greatly once again.
Bei Feng opened his eyes, and his aura cald down slowly.
There are differences between the half-step Thousand Year King realm as well. With my current strength, early stage half-step Thousand Year Kings will not be my match. Middle stage half-step Thousand Year Kings should be beneath as well. As for top and peak stage half-step Thousand Year Kings, I haven’t seen those yet,Bei Feng thought silently to himself. His current strength should be equivalent to middle stage Thousand Year King realm and above.
“Congratulations on your advancent, Family Head!”
Seeing Bei Feng open his eyes, Lu Bu and the rest hurriedly went up and congratulated him.
“En, thank you; you all may leave. Lu Bu, you stay.” Bei Feng stood up and waved his hand lightly.
“Yes!”
The remaining eight turned and left, leaving Lu Bu alone with Bei Feng.
Lu Bu bowed his head respectfully, and asked, “What instructions does Family Head have?”
“How is Lu Bing?” Bei Feng asked. It’d already been a few days, but Lu Bing hadn’t woken up yet.
“Family Head, Lu Bing’s condition has begun to improve. Her blood Qi aura is growing stronger, but I presu that there’s still a period of ti before she wakes up,” Lu Bu answered imdiately.
After feeding Lu Bing with large amounts of heavenly treasures, her blood Qi hadn’t dropped anymore, and had instead begun to rise again.
“En, I’ve seen everyone’s efforts in this period of ti; all of you had contributed your full strength to my Lu Family, and I will not treat you unfairly. This is the Cattail Devil Leaf, and it can unlock the potential in your bodies and improve your constitutions. Even if a useless person consud one, it would also greatly increase their talent for cultivation.”
Bei Feng decided to pass the Cattail Devil Leaves to Lu Bu and the rest first.
Lu Bu froze slightly, then hurriedly bent his back. “Family Head, all we have was given to us by the Lu Family. All our efforts were simply our duty, so there’s no need for rewards. These herbs are too precious, Family Head, please keep them for yourself.”
With Bei Feng’s powerful ntal power and soul, at such a close distance, he could naturally sense that Lu Bu’s words were completely sincere, and not said to put on a show.
“These are sothing that you all deserve. My Lu Family will never let you all bleed for nothing. There’s no need to say anymore.” Bei Feng directly decided.
“We swear to protect the Lu Family to our deaths!”
Lu Bu was touched to the point where he was willing to die for his family head. Actually, even if Bei Feng hadn’t taken out the Cattail Devil Leaves, Lu Bu had never once dread of betraying the Lu Family or anything of the sort. But now, he felt that he was respected as a person, completely different when compared to the treatnt he’d receive in most other families that raised their death warriors like dogs to command.
“What I want are not words. I like to speak with actions. But all of you must also rember: you are part of the Lu Family, and I will also not be stingy in nurturing you all. But if one day any of you betrays the Lu Family, even if you run to the ends of the world, I will have a way to catch you back,” Bei Feng reminded him gravely. Although Lu Bu did not look like soone with ambition, a bit of a reminder never did anyone any harm. This would prevent them from having other thoughts now that their strength had risen so dramatically.
