Chapter 156: Houtian Art and Xiantian Art!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

With a thought, countless large Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King’s scales appeared in the room.

Bei Feng arranged the scales into a neat pile and placed it in a corner. These scales had extremely strong defensive capabilities. Just a single thin piece was able to stop Bei Feng’s full-strength strike with the incredibly sharp Extreme Arctic Frost. Although he didn’t know what to do with the scales yet, it might prove useful one day if he kept them properly.

Apart from that was a piece of black dragon abdominal scale. Bei Feng placed it atop a shelf.

The medicinal wine and the White River Rice was moved into the kitchen, and the large cauldron was set in the villa’s yard. The yard was very spacious, and it was currently used as a garden. All sorts of resplendent and colorful flowers sat in the garden, while butterflies and bees flew among them.

Ripper followed behind Bei Feng with huge, clumsy steps. Looking at it now, one could hardly imagine how agile and deadly it could be in its battle mode!

The two little wolfdogs were capering playfully among the flowers as they chased the butterflies. They looked extremely happy.

As he walked to the heart of the garden, an inconspicuous and old-looking well came into view. Two buckets lay at its side.

‘System, I wish to reassign the fishing point.’

Bei Feng commanded as he looked at the old well with contentment.

“Please select the new fishing gateway!”

The emotionless monotone voice of the System rang out in Bei Feng’s head.

‘I choose this well.’

Bei Feng pointed at the old well and thought.

“Fishing gateway has been chosen. Proceed to bind? Fisherman will not be able to utilize the fishing system within three months after binding,” the System reminded.

“Binding confirmed! Binding successful! Spatial tunnel is under construction, cannot fish for three months!”

After Bei Feng confirmed, grayish light flashed once across the old well at the same time the System’s message appeared. It happened so fast that even Bei Feng wasn’t sure if he saw it right!

Everything went back to normal after that. There were also no visible changes to the well.

Bei Feng turned around to leave. Since he could not fish for the next three months, so be it. He would have the time now to do a few things. Before that, he still needed to settle the small issue before him.

That’s right, in Bei Feng’s eyes, the so called powerful Mingyu Corporation was only a small and inconvenient problem!

With the current state of the country, the way the triads were treated was vastly different from how it used to be a few decades ago. The triads could not possibly start a large-scale fight with thousands of people without trouble.

The state might close an eye for small armed conflicts, but once the armed conflicts became too large in scale, both side would be suppressed!

The big gangs who were still in existence were all secretly tolerated by the government. After all, a single organized power was still easier to handle than having to go after countless small and unruly gangs. Besides, if they went overboard, the country had more than enough power to force these big gangs to their end.

As expected, at around 4 pm, Mystic Four rushed into the villa to tell Bei Feng that Mingyu Corporation had declared war on them.

Due to the numerous restrictions on large-scale brawls, a life and death stage battle contest was proposed. The number of people who could participate was unlimited, and the contest would go on until one side admitted defeat!

The stakes demanded was Bei Feng and Mystic Four’s life. The two of them must also go onto the stage and fight. If the opponent lost, they would cede half of Mingyu Corporation’s stock to Bei Feng’s Guards. But if Bei Feng’s side lost, not only would Bei Feng and Mystic Four have to leave their lives behind, the gang would also be swallowed up whole!

“Agree to their terms. Set the time for the contest to be at 8 pm tomorrow. The location will be Crown Fitness Center which is at the heart of the city.”

Bei Feng leaned back on the couch and said to Mystic Four who was standing at the side.

“Understood.” Mystic Four nodded his head and left. Although it was unlikely that anyone will break the unspoken rules and resort to dirty tricks to tamper with the contest, the necessary precautions could not be relaxed. After all, they did kill the other fellow’s only son!

“Master Jin, I will have to trouble you to referee the contest his time.”

Miao Tianhua smiled cordially as he stepped into Jin Sanjue’s luxurious villa and passed the expensive gifts to him.

“Haha, Mister Miao is too courteous. This old man will definitely be there personally tomorrow!”

Jin Sanjue laughed in a carefree manner. This time, he had actually already been assigned with a mission from the government beforehand. The news was that a huge conflict had occurred between Mingyu Corporation and a local gang. In order to prevent the situation from escalating out of proportions, he had been tasked to lead a few men and keep an eye on them.

Bei Feng sat on a rocking chair with his eyes closed, rocking back and forth comfortably as he basked under the vicious afternoon sun which people usually sought to avoid. This sort of temperature was no longer worth a mention to Bei Feng.

The little fox had chosen one room and taken it for its own nest. Following its example, the two little wolfdogs also chose a room and turned the huge bed there into their dog bed.

Bei Feng got up after lazing for a while to prepare dinner. As for hiring maids and stuff like a housekeeper, the thought never crossed his mind. There was simply no need to do so.

After finishing his first meal in the new house, Bei Feng went to take a bath and chose a room with the windows facing the east.

The bedding and mattresses were completely new and still gave off a faint crisp smell. The huge bed was incomparably soft. As soon as he lay down on it, he felt like his entire body had sunk into the mattress.

The night passed by cozily. Bei Feng freshened himself up and headed towards the top of the mountain.

As he walked along the green stone paved mountain path, Bei Feng showed neither joy nor sadness on his face. The view along the mountain path was extremely captivating. Everything had been designed with careful attention to details, incorporating the design with the original mountain view in mind.

A Chinese-style traditional pavilion sat at each distance checkpoint, with equal amounts of distance between each one.

The path led all the way to the peak of the mountain. A large tree with a luscious crown grew near the edge of the cliff. It was extremely vibrant. The entire area was only about ten meters in circumference, and the ground was tiled with black and white stones to form a huge yin yang diagram. Several thick wooden fences was erected around the edges to prevent people from falling off the cliff accidentally.

As one looked down from the top, they could see a white layer of fog slowly passing by, concealing the area below.

‘Not bad, this design is quite to my liking. Except these wooden barriers are somewhat in the way. It makes the place feel a little coarse and unnatural.’

Bei Feng thought with some satisfaction. No wonder the villa could be sold for such a exorbitant price in a city like Qingcheng. So it was not without reason!

Bei Feng walked forward leisurely while a golden light suddenly burst out of his body!

The wooden barriers burst into pieces and fell off the cliff as he walked.

When that was done, the golden flying dagger shot back into his body. Bei Feng surveyed his surroundings once more with satisfaction. Without the obstruction of the wooden barriers, he felt that this place looked closer to the dao of nature.

As he closed his eyes and assumed a stance, executing the Minor Illumination Breathing Technique’s movement set, Bei Feng suddenly attained a new understanding.

‘Empty the mind, let the body make subtle changes on its own to adapt to the subtleties of the environment. Merge the internal with the external while seeking balance between releasing and gathering.

When the heart moves as a result of the will and the fist moves because of the heart, when every move a person makes is incomparably closely integrated with the natural movements of the body, it is called the art of Houtian. And the inherent natural laws by which the human body moves can be referred to as Xiantian art. The combination of Houtian and Xiantian would result in greater results with half the effort! Looks like I’ll need to transform the Houtian art into Xiantian art if I intend to cultivate Minor Illumination Breathing Technique to the grand circle of perfection!’

Countless inspirations appeared in Bei Feng’s mind, sending off sparks of enlightenment. Large amounts of ideas regarding the intricacies of Minor Illumination Breathing Technique flowed without end.

This was a combination of wisdom from Earth and the Myriad Worlds!
