Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Hearing the gangster rabbit’s squeak, Bei Feng could not help but to laugh loudly.

“These things were all brought back by you; I’m not so heartless yet to directly take them away from you.” Bei Feng laughed. The way this gangster rabbit was behaving now was truly quite funny.

“Squeak!” The gangster rabbit rolled its eyes and hopped away.

Bei Feng looked through the herb ring carefully; the spirit herbs inside were so plentiful that they stacked into a mountain. ‘With this many spirit herbs, I will not be lacking in any resources for cultivation for now.”

“Hm? This is a Tianjun Bamboo!” A vibrant but leafless plant appeared in Bei Feng’s hand, and he instantly thought back to the System’s introduction a moment ago.

Tianjun Bamboo had a grade of up to 1 Mu Grade! It was a treasure with extraordinary effects. Each section of the bamboo contained one to ten drops of Tianjun Liquid!

The greatest usage of the Tianjun Liquid was that it could help a cultivator with comprehension! It could raise the comprehension level of a person!

This kind of spirit herb was difficult to find even if one searched the entire world, but now, it’d actually appeared right in front of him!

That fellow Gu Qi has given me a great surprise. Bei Feng smiled lightly to himself. Not hesitating any further, he took out a large spirit stone, and using his finger as a sword, he began carving. Soon, tens of jade bottles appeared in his hand.

These jade bottles were all incredibly precious in value, being worth at least hundreds of millions each! They were all cut out from an intact spirit stone, and were specifically created to hold incredibly precious items like pills and materials so as to ensure that the Ling Qi of the materials would not be lost.

A newly fashioned spirit stone dagger lightly sliced across a section of the Tianjun Bamboo, and the silverish jade green liquid inside immediately flowed out into a prepared spirit stone jade bottle.

In the instant that it appeared, a sweet fragrance surged out for tens of li. Bei Feng, who was standing right beside its source, instantly felt a spell of clarity pass through his mind.

“As expected of a 1 Mu Grade spirit herb. The effects are truly extraordinary! Just a single sniff of the liquid caused a shudder through my mind,” Bei Feng exclaimed with shock. After that, he stoppered the bottle carefully and placed it into his spatial ring.

Drop by drop, the Tianjun Liquid was collected. Some of the bamboo branches had three or four drops of the liquid, some had only one, and there were even some branch sections with nothing inside.

Even so, by the time Bei Feng had finished cutting through the branches, he’d already managed to collect over a hundred drops of Tianjun Liquid!

I wonder how many drops of Tianjun Liquid I will find in the main body of the bamboo.

Bei Feng was somewhat expectant. There should be much more Tianjun Liquid inside the trunk of the bamboo compared to its branches.

The Tianjun Bamboo looked like something carved out of top-quality jade. It glowed beautifully like an exquisite work of art. There were numerous sections on the trunk, with each one being as wide as a thumb. The dagger made from spirit stone was extremely sharp, and without much effort, it cut all the way through the entire bamboo.

Drop after drop of Tianjun Liquid flowed into the jade bottles, with the last section actually contributing 10 drops!

Counting through everything, the entire bamboo had yielded 365 drops of Tianjun Liquid!

What a pity that, after retrieving the Tianjun Liquid, I’ll need to wait at least 100 years for more Tianjun Liquid to form in the bamboo.

Bei Feng shook his head lightly. A natural treasure like this was not like common vegetables that could be found easily by the side of the road. Large amounts of time and dense Ling Qi were necessary for it to form.

The Tianjun Bamboo would only grow a section of the trunk and nine branches every hundred years. In 100 years, it would only produce at most 10-plus drops of Tianjun Liquid!

Moreover, the conditions needed for the Tianjun Bamboo to grow were also exceedingly high. The amount of spirit stones required to grow a single Tianjun Bamboo was also a terrifying number!

Even with the few hundred thousand to one million high-grade spirit stones in Bei Feng’s spatial ring, it would still probably only be enough to sustain the growth of a Tianjun Bamboo for 100 to 200 years.

365 drops of Tianjun Liquid can be considered a huge fortune.

Bei Feng smiled to himself. A single drop of Tianjun Liquid could raise a person’s comprehension ability by 30 percent. Although 30 percent might not seem like a lot, the difference it brought was huge!

Only the first three drops would be useful in raising comprehension ability. In other words, one could raise their comprehension ability by 90 percent, almost doubling their capabilities!

Subsequent consumption of the Tianjun Liquid would no longer increase comprehension ability, and would only be useful for short term boosts when one was in a state of comprehension.

Comprehension was an extremely important element of cultivation. It could not be seen or touched, but it definitely existed.

Cultivators with good comprehension ability could improve with half the effort at twice the speed of a normal person. Be it a cultivation technique or a martial technique, they would master it much more quickly than others!

Although 365 drops seemed like a lot, if three drops were given to each person, it would only be enough for 120-odd people.

Not in a hurry to consume the Tianjun Liquid, Bei Feng kept the Tianjun Bamboo into his spatial ring. Although it was already useless now, it didn’t mean that it wouldn’t be of use in the future.

A hundred years was something that could pass in the snap of a finger. Treasures like the Tianjun Liquid were also extremely uncommon. If one took it out and auctioned it, a single drop would fetch a sky high price of billions of HCD!

For the sake of nurturing their outstanding next generation, some large families would not mind parting with this kind of money at all. From their point of view, the Tianjun Liquid was worth more than billions!

“Weng!”

A light sound rang out as though a zither was being strung.

Bei Feng instantly looked towards the center of the mountain gorge. Two bright lights shone in his eyes, passing through the space and landing on Lu Bing inside the stone chamber!

“Is she going to wake up?” Bei Feng mumbled to himself as he took a large step out. In the span of a few breaths, his body descended from the sky above the center of the mountain gorge.

“Respectful greetings, Family Head.” Lu Bu and the rest bowed respectfully.

“Dispense with the formalities. From the looks of it, Lu Bing is about to wake up.” Bei Feng had a faint smile on his face. After Lu Bing awakened, it would mean that the strength of his faction would increase by a great margin!

“Weng!” Numerous rays of black light shot out of the stone chamber that Lu Bing was in. The tough mountain door was directly pierced through by the light!

The black light carried a powerful Martial Dao Will. Compared to Bei Feng’s Martial Dao Will, it was even stronger. This Martial Dao Will carried a firm, unyielding intent and resolution!

It was as if nothing could stand in its path. Inside the stone chamber, Lu Bing’s body floated lightly into the air.

“Hong!”

In the next instant, Lu Bing’s eyes snapped open, and a ray of black light burst out of her eyes, piercing through the rock wall!

A terrifying aura reverberated through the stone chamber as a layer of energy ripple surged out from Lu Bing’s frail body. Wherever the energy ripple passed through, whether it was the rock stools, stone table, or the bed, everything was reduced to powder!

“Ha!” Lu Bing cried out, and the rocks on the top of the stone chamber directly burst apart!

Sensing this aura, Bei Feng also felt shocked in his heart. The higher the level of the Martial Dao Will, the greater the increase to the battle ability of the user. Lu Bing was originally just a normal Fourth level Hundred Year realm cultivator. But with this added strength, she will not be inferior to even Lu Bu.

Lu Bing’s strength doesn’t seem to be any weaker than mine , Lu Bu mused to himself. This aura was already enough to cause even him to feel some threat.

“Break!” Lu Bing called out whilst suspended in midair. Although her voice was not loud, it carried her intense confidence!

Lu Bing’s aura stopped for an instant, and then instantly exploded again. It was as if there were no limits to her strength!

In the same instant that her words rang out, Lu Bing broke through to the middle stage of the Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer!

But this was not the end. Powerful blood Qi energy gushed out from her body, turning half of the mountain gorge’s sky red!

She only stopped at the middle stage of the Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer for an hour before her aura surged up yet again!

“Without destruction there is no construction… although Lu Bing suffered because of the Demonic Beast, it was also an opportunity for her.”

Seeing Lu Bing’s speed of advancement, even Bei Feng felt somewhat jealous. However, that thought was instantly shattered and thrown to the back of his mind. Although threading the line between life and death could bring great benefits, it was simply too risky and terrifying!

Most people would lose their lives before they could obtain the great fortune.

The blood Qi aura in Lu Bing’s body had turned incomparably pure, not inferior to that of experts who trained with high-grade cultivation techniques. The fortune gained from her close brush with death constantly molded her mind, forming a Martial Dao Will. The Martial Dao Will also constantly refined her blood and Qi.

As she persevered to the end, Lu Bing’s Martial Dao Will and blood Qi energy strived against each other continuously for a long time; the Martial Dao Will was like a huge millstone, grinding away the impurities in her body, and leaving only the purest essence of blood and Qi.

In the time that Bei Feng took to think of all this, Lu Bing had already broken through to the Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer late stage!

And her cultivation was still rising slowly, charging towards the peak of the Fourth Layer!

“Looks like the vice captain will have to stop here. Her blood Qi energy has slowed down significantly,” a guard at the side commented.

“Even so, Vice Captain is a great genius already. Other than the family head, only she’d crossed over a large realm in just a few short months!” another person said with some envy.

“Is that the end?” Bei Feng muttered to himself as he watched Lu Bing’s blood Qi aura stabilizing.

“Geh!” Lu Bing gritted her teeth and grunted, not willing to give up. Although it was just the difference between late stage and peak stage, a seemingly small gap, if she missed this opportunity, she might need to spend a few more months of effort before she could break through again. Disregarding the pain in her meridians, she roused her blood Qi again, attempting to make another charge!

“Break for me!” Lu Bing’s tone was full of determination. Although she was a girl, she had her own pride, not wanting to be weaker than others!

A strand of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth as a dejected look appeared in her eyes. “Is it still impossible in the end?”

Sighing lightly, Bei Feng inserted his spiritual sense into his spatial ring and a Cattail Devil Leaf appeared in his hand. With a light flick, the Cattail Devil Leaf streaked across the air, appearing before Lu Bing.

“This is the only time I’m allowing you to do this. Do not be so rash in the future. Cultivation is indeed about charging forward bravely, but it’s also about steady accumulation and gradual progress.” Bei Feng’s voice rang out beside Lu Bing’s ears.

Lu Bing’s body shivered slightly; without hesitation, she directly bit down on the Cattail Devil Leaf.

Waves of blood Qi energy surged out of Lu Bing’s body instantly like numerous small creeks forming a mighty river. Her blood rumbled loudly, just like a herd of wild horses galloping forward together!

The blood Qi energy that had already begun to lose strength was instantly invigorated. Bubbling up mightily, it once again charged at the bottleneck!

“Ka-cha!” A formless sound rang out in Lu Bing’s head, and all the blood and Qi in her body instantly rushed madly into the new space!

An aura of perfection surged out of Lu Bing’s body as her blood and Qi revolved around her veins. With a single thought, the blood Qi energy moved according to her will with ease!
