Chapter 314: Trade
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Just that small amount of broken star metal had caused the Golden Flying Dagger's grade to rise by a few levels. The price for that, however, was a reduction in its speed.
At the moment, it was still unclear if he'd made a gain or a loss.
With a flash of his intent, Bei Feng directed the flying dagger at Sky Fire Spider's carapace. It sliced cleanly through, without any sound or resistance at all.
'It's time that this dagger has a name of its own. I'll call you... Soaring Rainbow!'
Bei Feng kept Soaring Rainbow back into his body, allowing his blood and Qi to nourish it in hopes that it would evolve into a more perfect form soon.
'Humans follow the laws of the Heavens, and the Earth embodies all the laws of the world. Heaven and Earth flow in accordance with nature, and humans' act of bearing the weight of Heaven and Earth is Heavenly Laws Embodiment!'
The opening passage from the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique surfaced in Bei Feng's mind. Bei Feng sat down calmly and isolated that portion of the passage in his mind and ruminated over it seriously.
The basic entry requirement to practice this technique required the practitioner to at least possess a fleshly Xiantian body. As long as he could complete the first level of the technique, Bei Feng was confident that he could even contend against a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert as a Xiantian Lord!
The first level wasn't too hard to cultivate. He only required one drop of Demonic Beast essence blood to birth the matching Dharma Idol.
Bei Feng thought seriously for a while before coming to a decision. His Bear Manifestation should also be a kind of Demonic Beast phantom. In that case, the Demonic Beast essence blood most suitable for him to cultivate the first level of the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique should be from a bear type Demonic Beast!
Bei Feng took out a piece of white paper and wrote down the entirety of the Bear Form Style technique. With the System's help, his words naturally turned into the language from this world. Of course, this was not without the cost of experience points.
Perhaps it was because he had already spent a large amount of experience points to translate the contents of the Form and Will Fist, when he wrote it down again a second time, it didn't cost him anymore experience points.
By the time he was done with everything, the sky had already turned dark. Bei Feng was not in a hurry to proceed with his plans. He casually kept everything and took a bath before falling into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Bei Feng arrived outside of Xia Ji's room.
"What are you here for?"
Xiao Ping's face turned ugly as she looked at Bei Feng approaching.
"I've some matters to speak with the Princess about."
Bei Feng stood calmly before the door, as though he did not see Xiao Ping's expression.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Ping snorted unhappily, but still went into the room and reported to the princess.
"Go in," Xiao Ping stated tersely without looking at Bei Feng.
The first thing he saw when he stepped into the room was Xia Ji sitting behind a table with a book.
Bei Feng did not beat about the bush and directly said, "I need a drop of the essence blood from the strongest bear type Demonic Beast available on this land."
"And I should give it to you based on what?"
Xia Ji did not raise her head from the book as she asked in a clear and frosty tone. Although she felt that her voice was sufficiently soft, it boomed loudly in Bei Feng's ears, reverberating around the room.
"Based on this."
Bei Feng flicked his hand, sending a piece of paper flying upwards towards Xia Ji.
To Bei Feng, it was simply too tiring to talk to these people. He need to crane his neck just to see their faces.
There were only a few hundred words on the paper, as well as a few pictures. However, Xia Ji was extremely engrossed in it as she read.
Without waiting for Bei Feng to speak, she stood up and grabbed out with her hands. Bei Feng felt the space around him constrict and solidify as though a metal cage had formed around him. Xia Ji held Bei Feng in her palms and instantly appeared outside of the mansion. Then, her body flashed lightly as she moved deep into the mountains.
Finally, they came to a clearing and Xia Ji set Bei Feng down before she proceeded to practice the Bear Form Style on her own. With just a few rounds of practice, Xia Ji already appeared exceptionally well versed in the Bear Form Style.
Her movements appeared exceptionally fluent, and in the next moment, she seemed to have transformed into a real savage bear. Every action was filled with great power which was held with great control, not bursting outwards. This was akin to drawing a bow and not releasing it.
"HOU!"
A loud roar rang out, stunning Bei Feng and causing him to stumble backwards for more than a dozen steps.
The figure of a huge Bear Savage Beast about a thousand zhang had formed behind Xia Ji, emanating a fearsome heaven piercing aura!
This Bear Manifestation stood up, towering into the sky and piercing through the clouds with its might. None of the other beasts in the mountain dared to make a single noise in its presence!
'She's reached the level of spirit and form harmonization so quickly?!'
Bei Feng thought that his comprehension of the Bear Form Style was extremely fast; but compared to this princess, he still paled far in comparison!
The tyrannical aura dissipated, leaving only the figure of Xia Ji standing motionlessly as if she was comprehending something.
"This is a really strong martial technique, not inferior to the cultivation technique I gave you. In some ways, its even stronger!"
Xia Ji felt a great amount of shock in her heart. She hadn't expected that Bei Feng actually had such a powerful martial technique with him. From what she could sense, this martial technique was not that simple. She could feel her body being affected by the technique when she executed it.
Xia Ji suddenly turned around and said, "Okay!"
Quite apparently, she had agreed to the trade.
This martial technique had increased her battle prowess by many times. And she could feel that this amount of power was far from the limits of what it was capable of displaying!
Back in the spacious mansion, Bei Feng was left alone with a few other guards. Xia Ji had brought along a bunch of experts and left.
Bei Feng instructed the servants to prepare some food. The servants were very efficient, quickly starting on the task. Bei Feng went out of the villa and began cultivating his Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique!
That one session of cultivation shocked him immensely!
Just a single round of tempering had opened up more than 10,000 vessels and capillaries!
The pressure created from the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique coupled with the powerful gravity on this world caused him to smash brutally into the ground in an instant.
"Ai, what a useless fellow... I truly pity the princess!"
Far away, two passers-by looked over and sighed as they walked. From their point of view, the midget had tripped and fallen flat on his face while walking over flat ground. It looked extremely ridiculous.
"Mind your words; are the matters of the Princess things that we can talk about?" the other person said as he looked warily at their surroundings.
Following that, the two quickly departed.
"The stability and thickness of the Ling Qi and everything else in this world is truly shocking to a scary extent. The Heaven and Earth Ling Qi is burrowing through my body constantly while I practice the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique!" Bei Feng mumbled to himself. The generous amounts of Heaven and Earth Ling Qi could substitute for over half of the resources he would have needed. And cultivating the technique on Earth did not provide him with this sort of feeling and advantage.
"It seems like it's not a bad idea to continue staying here..."
Such a thought surfaced involuntarily in his mind, causing Bei Feng to fall silent.
This place was simply a paradise for cultivators. Resources could be found everywhere, and seemed endless. Experts were also as common as the clouds.
"It's a pity that there are still things that I worry about back on Earth. Otherwise, this would really be a pretty good place to live in."
A short moment later, Bei Feng stood up and turned around. Numerous delicious-smelling dishes made from high level Demonic Beasts lined the table, causing his stomach to growl with excitement. Disregarding his image, Bei Feng swept through the food like a hurricane.
When night fell, he went back into his room and slept.
He did not cultivate in the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique as he was unsure if he could still cultivate it with a different set of constellations when he returned back to Earth.
Half a month passed, and Bei Feng's time was nearly entirely spent on cultivation.
When he was hungry, there would be a feast waiting for him. If he became injured during cultivation, there was the Medicinal Spirit Flowers available.
On that day, Xiao Ping'er knocked on Bei Feng's door and informed him that the princess was looking for him.
'The bear type essence blood should be ready.'
Bei Feng came to the pavilion by the lake where his tall wife was sitting and enjoying some mushrooms.
"The stuff you wanted."
Xia Ji flicked her snow white hand and tossed a transparent crystalline jade bottle over. Within it was a drop of essence blood as big as a fist, still throbbing lightly with vitality.
"Many thanks," Bei Feng said sincerely. The fact that the other party was willing to keep her word despite the difference in strength was extremely honorable.
"We're just taking what each of us needs."
Xia Ji set down her teacup and disappeared from the pavilion.
