2021-07-27 00:49:52Bai Feng wasn't sure what he meant by that sentence. Was he at a high level or low level at this moment?
Bai Feng did know that the Qi apprentice-level was only the beginning of cultivation as it contained the word apprentice, but he didn't know what was after that.
Mo Pian shook his head, seeing that Bai Feng didn't have any reaction. He was quite a newbie at this, so he didn't understand the shocking fact that he had gained 5 levels of strength in a few days, which would usually take others years or even tens of years for the less talented ones.
Mo Pian was an old hand at cultivation, even though he didn't have much talent. So he knew how talented people were usually taken care of by the sect as they would be pumped with resources.
Bai Feng would live a way better life than what he was going through right now with Mo Pian.
Maybe he would even be paired with his sister under the same teacher due to their connection.
However, before he could say anything, Bai Feng's stomach started to growl as he became hungry after all the Qi and nutrients in his body ran through his body, strengthening it accordingly to the basic Qi training technique.
Usually, one would feel full of energy after a breakthrough in Qi cultivation, but it seemed the opposite for Bai Feng as he became famished afterward.
Mo Pian shook his head. It wasn't the time for him to think about Bai Feng's future. He would tell him about his prospects after he had his fill and talk it out with him afterward.
Mo Pian patted Bai Feng's now emaciated shoulder and got him inside the restaurant building, where he made him a full course meal that the young man ate in a matter of a few minutes.
After Bai Feng patted his flat stomach, he wondered when he would get fat again. This time around, after he finished the meal, he didn't even gain one gram anymore.
He looked the same as when he finished his cultivation session. His now silky hair stood free near his shoulders. His complexion wasn't greasy nor filled by fat anymore. So his face gained a sharp feel, but he still looked rather baby-faced, even though he lost all of his baby fat.
His clothes stood hanging on him because they were meant for the fat version of him. Seeing his current haggard appearance made Mo Pian wave his hands as blue threads left his fingers and made the clothes on Bai Feng's body a little bit more fitting.
Bai Feng nodded at Mo Pian, showing that he was happy with the clothes modifying, but he also asked:
"What will I do if I get fat again and the clothes rip?"
Mo Pian shook his head as he said:
"It won't be a problem. With a little bit of Qi, I modified them so they could go between the large and fitting state. They could be considered pretty neat artifacts by civilians. Even though this is something all Qi apprentices can do, and it's nothing special."
Bai Feng thanked Mo Pian before he turned serious and asked:
"I saw how you were thinking quite a bit after you saw my strength. What were you thinking about?"
Mo Pian decided to answer directly:
"I think you should apply to become an official disciple of the sect and not stay with me here at the kitchen. It would be way better for you as you would end up better, and you might even meet your sister earlier than intended."
"You would waste your potential here where I cannot give you many things that would help your potential blossom."
Bai Feng remained quiet through Mo Pian's words and he asked:
"Are you sure that I'm really talented? What if they reject me?"
Mo Pian shook his head:
"It's impossible for you to not be of relatively high talent. After all, you have the strength of a level 5 Qi apprentice even though no Qi is running through your body."
"This is a different cultivation tree that I'm not familiar with, but I'm sure the elders of the sect who have more worldly knowledge should know about your situation."
Bai Feng didn't mind the current situation, he learned how to cook properly, which was something he always wanted to do as he didn't want to rely on his sister forever, after all, she would one day marry and go to the house of her husband, while he would be left alone. But now things were different.
His sister did leave him alone, but not for marrying. However, his situation improved, and he was way well off than before.
He was content with what he had, and he didn't really want more, but he also missed his sister even though they didn't see each other only for a day or so.
In the former situation where she would have married. He could have visited her whenever he wanted, as she would have most likely married in their own village because they were situated quite far away from the nearest city and other villages.
But now, god knows when she would be let to visit him by her master. After all, cultivation was a long and dangerous endeavor.
Bai Feng didn't meet with any dangers yet, but he still felt that things weren't as easy as they seemed on the surface. His primal hunger after he finished one breakthrough was the first sign that told him that.
Mo Pian didn't go into detail about the perils of cultivation, but it was most likely because he himself didn't know, after all, the one who taught him what he knew did it only in passing as Mo Pian didn't show much promise after he trained for a quite the long while.
"What do you think, Bai Feng? I can get you to the former elder that taught me, so he could analyze your situation and maybe you could apprenticeship under him, most elders know each other, so if you ask about your sister, he would most likely know about her whereabouts, and what is she doing these days."
"You don't have to rush your answer, and I will wait for your response no matter how much thinking time you need. After all, it's your future you are going to decide about right now."
Bai Feng thought for a little bit under Mo Pian's gaze, as it was stated before, Bai Feng only wanted to live a quiet life, eating good food and having a good time on earth, he didn't think about gaining immortality, ruling over the masses or creating whatever kingdom under his iron fist rule like most immortals lusted about.
He just wanted to enjoy life to its maximum, and if he was honest with himself, he didn't care about immortality in general, if he died of old age, he wouldn't mind it if he enjoyed life to the maximum possible and he had a good time.
But this also extended to his sister. He wanted her to have a good time as he did by his side.
Not necessarily all the time, but he did want to see her from time to time as he knew her since he opened his eyes.
She was also half a parent after their mother and father died. She took great care of him.
If he was by himself. He would enjoy his life and rot away with Mo Pian in this little building while enjoying all of the food and dishes from their backyard.
But considering his sister's future well-being and happiness, he wanted to be there to enjoy it with her. He decided to bite the bullet and go along with Mo Pian's plan.
Bai Feng gave out his affirmation and Mo Pian smiled as he grabbed him by the shoulder and said:
"You won't regret it. The elder I got taught by usually frequents the 3rd casino building a few kilometers away from our kitchen, so it won't take us much time to get there, at most 10-20 minutes with our current strength."
"I'm gonna close the restaurant for a while, so you go get prepared mentally for meeting the elder. The elders of our sect are quite imposing and eccentric, so you shouldn't act rudely after we get into his presence, or he might not take you as an apprentice, even if you are very talented."
Bai Feng nodded and started to prepare himself while waiting for Mo Pian to finish closing the building and putting the sign closed on the doors. After a short while, Mo Pian leaves the building and nods towards Bai Feng as he starts to walk quickly towards the southern district of the sect where the casinos were along with the sect's entrance.
It took them as much time as Mo Pian said. They arrived at a red casino building with a sign which read big at the front 'Red Dragon Casino Number 3'. It had neon lights around it which were turned off because it was currently day and the sun was up in the sky.
Mo Pian sighed as he took a long look at the casino building. It seemed he was reminiscing some memories that he didn't really enjoy as his face scrunched up, but he took in a deep breath and entered along with Bai Feng behind him.
The attendant at the front who was supposed to check upon the identities of those who entered the casino narrowed his eyes as he looked at Mo Pian and said:
"Oho? Mo Pian? Didn't you say that you gave up gambling and you would never return to this casino ever again or any casino for the matter? What made you change your mind?"
The attendant was a petite young man with blonde hair and green eyes who wore a black suit. He had a gentle smile on his face as he questioned Mo Pian.
"It's none of your concern Klaus, but if you really want to know, I'm not here to gamble. Actually, I'm here to find elder Mang Chitong."
"You are here for our top VIP and owner? You know that it's not that easy to get a meeting with Elder Chitong, but because we were good friends while you were a customer here, I guess I can put up a word for you."
The young man didn't give Bai Feng even one glance as he smiled once again towards Mo Pian and left the front desk, entering the double doors that lead to the inside of the casino and where the gambling games were situated.
The young man waved through customers and the machines along with dealer tables to enter the back of the casino into a secret dark room where an imposing old man sat down on a brown sofa, smoking a thick cigar and enjoying a little bit of white wine while watching other people gamble through multiple water-like screens that floated around him in the poorly lit room, making sure there was no cheating. The old man had a long flowing brown beard and wrinkles all over his face, he wore a dark uniform that resembled a robe with the characters for 'casino enforcer' on the back along with dark shades, which made him look quite strange in the dimly lit room.
The young man bowed and fell to his knees as he said:
"Mo Pian, a former regular at the casino wants to meet you elder Chitong. What are your instructions?"
Elder Chitong finished the white wine before making the wine glass levitate out of view. He burned the cigar into cinders, and glanced at the downed young man, and asked:
"Mo Pian? Who is that?"
The young man continued to explain unabated by the elder's lack of acknowledgment about Mo Pian's existence:
"A former regular who gambled quite often at our casino. You taught him the basic Qi apprentice training technique because he wasted so much money out of pity."
The old man formed a fist as he put it in his palm while he made an 'aah' sound saying:
"Oh, that poor sap, I wonder why does he want to meet me. Does he think that I actually thought that he had any talent and he wants me to take him as an apprentice?"
The young man shook his head as he said:
"I don't think so, he seemed to be really done with gambling after he left back then, but he is accompanied by a peculiar young man that I don't feel any Qi from his body. Maybe he is here for his sake."
The elder nodded and said:
"I'm not particularly burdened by any tasks right now, and he did use to gamble and make us quite a fat profit when he was a customer, so I don't see why shouldn't I meet him, get him and that young man that's with him here. I will listen to what he has to say. For the time being, as I'm actually quite interested in what this little guy wants from me."

The blonde young man called Klaus bowed once again and decided to leave the room as he was instructed to bring the duo to Chitong.He went back the same way he came and met with Bai Feng and Mo Pian at the entrance desk, where he smiled at the duo and said:"It seems Elder Chitong is interested in what you guys want to ask of him. So he decided to grant you an audience.""Follow me."The young man walked through the double doors that lead inside the casino- and took the lead while he waved his hand behind him. Indicating for the duo to follow him.Mo Pian patted Bai Feng's shoulder and said:"Let me do the talking, Ok?"Bai Feng nodded. It was Mo Pian's idea, anyway, so he decided to let him take the lead in talking. He wasn't sure what he could ask of this elder Chitong, as he wasn't really versed in the sect's system.The duo followed behind Klaus without saying anything, but as Bai Feng glanced around, he couldn't help but h

Elder Chitong looked at Bai Feng with a smirk on his face as he asked: "So? Do you really want to work with us? Let me be clear that the money you get isn't a fixed salary and that the houses' wins from the table you will be dealing at will be given to you as a percentage as payment every day after you leave your shift, around 5% to be exact." Mo Pian didn't know much about the payment of the dealers and casino workers, so he was surprised they didn't get a fixed salary. He didn't get a fixed salary either. But he was currently owning the restaurant as his own, not something that the sect owned, and this came with both merits and demerits. But Bai Feng had to work for them. And he was only going to get paid like that? Mo Pian wanted to say something, but Chitong interrupted him before he could start: "Mo Pian, don't think I'm scamming your little friend here. The fact is that we rely quite heavily on the luck of the deal

Bai Feng wasn't that curious about the amount of money he made. He skipped towards the restaurant first as he wanted to talk a little bit with Mo Pian before he went to his new house.He wanted to tell Mo Pian how his day went and make sure that he knew that he was doing well at his new job.It didn't take much time for Bai Feng to arrive at the open restaurant.He entered the building and found Mo Pian cooking in the kitchen by himself. There were no customers, so that meant he was making some food for himself.However, Mo Pian smiled the moment he saw Bai Feng and said:"Come, come, I was waiting for you to get off your shift and made some good food for your first successful day at work."Bai Feng nodded and watched as Mo Pian finished cooking then put the food on some plates. They both ate quietly and finished the food in little time.Now that the food was gone, Bai Feng started to talk about how his day went and how he went in ove

The middle-aged man's hands trembled on the premium meat as he wasn't sure what to do here. Should he give it to Bai Feng and Mo Pian, who came first? Or the firstborn daughter of the second most important loanshark in the whole sect?The middle-aged man had some integrity in him, as he didn't immediately throw the crocodile elf rib-eye steak to Chen Lingxi the moment she appeared, but fear was a thing that could control the minds of humans to a high degree. So in the end, the man gave up and threw the red GoGo coins back to Bai Feng before saying:"I'm sorry young masters. But young lady Lingxi has priority in this situation..."Chen Lingxi covered her mouth with her hand as she laughed while looking directly into Bai Feng's eyes:"Come on, don't be mad. This is only for the good of my little sister, who needs to cultivate. I'm not targeting you or anything- I got over what happened back at the restaurant."It was obvious that Lingxi was lying. Ba
I Shall Eat The Heavens The power of money and connections (Part 3)
Bai Feng could feel his whole body rather well under his current frozen status, but whatever he did to try and move it just didn't work. He was quite familiar with the movements of his body, but he didn't know what was inhabiting it from making its normal movements. He tried to go through his knowledge about Qi cultivation that Mo Pian had told him beforehand, and then a spark went into his brain as he realized what type of technique was used. It was the same technique that Mo Pian had used on the owl to stop it from attacking them! It was a binding technique, but Bai Feng didn't know that it could get this strong, which made him wonder about Chen Lginxi's actual cultivation level. Mo Pian was also under the technique's radius, so he was also bound together with Bai Feng right now. Bai Feng tried to move his hand, but a sharp voice arrived in his ear: "Stop struggling, Bai Feng. You can't break my binding technique with your cu
I Shall Eat The Heavens Contemplation of the situation and breakthrough
Mo Pian saw Bai Feng's key before, so he could easily recognize it if he saw it again, but while he rummaged through Bai Feng's clothes, he realized that there was no key with him anymore. Could he have dropped it when he fought with Manjo and Bido?Mo Pian knew that Klaus gave him the key, but he couldn't go to the casino to ask for another one with Bai Feng in this situation... he also didn't have his own house, and he wasn't sure where to put him in the restaurant so he could rest comfortably.The tables were quite hard, and the seats weren't long enough for Bai Feng's whole body. If he put more than one, there was also a chance that Bai Feng could fall from the seat if he moved, and while his injuries looked to be healed on the surface due to Chen Lingxi's charity, he wasn't sure how injured Bai Feng actually was, so it was better to be on the safer side."Mo Pian sighed as he was ready to leave, but the middle-aged man from before who sold the meat to Chen
I Shall Eat The Heavens Fire tribulation
Bai Feng's body squirmed under the flames, which didn't affect his surroundings, nor did they actually seem like they injured him, but his facial expression told Mo Pian everything he needed to know.Bai Feng was in pain, that was a certain thing, and Mo Pian felt so bad that he couldn't alleviate it anyway. He owed Bai Feng his life after what he did back with Chen Lingxi.He felt a sense of responsibility that he didn't feel before for Bai Feng. After all, He only took him under his wing under Shredder's orders, and at first, he didn't really care much about him.But now, his feelings were genuine. He felt as if Bai Feng was his best friend or even brother. Bai Feng must have likely thought the same about him since he jumped in front of a deadly beam of energy to save his life.Mo Pian tried to approach Bai Feng, but the flames started to billow the closer Mo Pian got to Bai Feng, and his face warped in pain as his tall- and skinny figure started to ben

Bai Feng had a new uniform on him as he left his house and locked it with the key, Mo Pian had already gone back to the restaurant, and quite a little bit of time passed since he finished his breakthrough.According to Mo Pian, he should be at the 6th level of the Qi apprentice-level now.Bai Feng was rather glad as he was one step closer to meeting his sister once again!He saved 10 red GoGo coins since Chen Lingxi decided to give him the meat, so in the future, he would be able to buy more of the crocodile elf meat until it wouldn't have any effect on him anymore.So he needed to continue his dealer job at the casino. Maybe he would continue to be lucky and get rich people just like his first time.He left his house and made his way to the casino with no problems, as he had the dealer uniform on.

The final battle (End)
Bai Feng looked down at his hands, he could feel pure power coursing through them, and the bond with the universe that started from his wrist was now exploding through every part of his body. The changes that were made to his whole body weren't describable through words alone. Bai Feng wasn't sure how to feel, but he could sense that he had reached the maximum strength possible that the universe could withstand. The universe itself told him that he can't break through anymore and that he should go and deal with the Mother of Heavens as soon as possible. While he had been reborn, his second heart didn't grow back, whatever the Mother had used to deal that blow to Bai Feng seemed to be permanent. Bai Feng could sense a small hole in the tower that was his foundation, which meant that his power wasn't perfect, but now that he practically reached the same cultivation realm as the Mother of Heaven, they were sharing the power the universe was bestowing upo
The fourth warehouse (Part 2)
Bai Feng and Shirbo were teaming up on the fusion while Sharley, Sylph, and Chen Lingxi were fighting with the army of guards. And they were trying to destroy the strengthened formations at the same time, or at least disable them.Bai Feng didn't have time to watch what his friends were doing, so he hoped that all those preparations they made would pay off.This was the penultimate battle!Bai Feng breathed in as he dodged a fiery lightning bolt that came too close for comfort before rotating his hand like a chainsaw and striking forwards, trying to break off the armor from the fusion's body.But a wall of frozen wood appeared in front of the fusion at the last second, making Bai Feng waste his attack on it, then getting his hand stuck in there as metal started to cover his hand, traveling up to his arm and trying to transform him into a metal statue.But that's when Shirbo came and fully destroyed the wall with his claws, then he tried to strike a
The fourth warehouse (Part 1)
Bai Feng looked at the unconscious Mu An and sighed as he dragged her back into the warehouse. Shirbo was waiting for his return, arms crossed as the others were continuing their breakthroughs. Before he left to fight Mu An, Bai Feng was able to make them a few dishes to keep them occupied. But now, he could finish using all of the resources that were left and let his friends reach their peak. The only problem was Mu An, Bai Feng didn't know any restraining techniques, and he wasn't sure how long she would be unconscious. He already fought her once, and he didn't want to fight her again. There was also the problem with continuing to the fourth warehouse. Once Mu An awake, even if she was restrained, she would do her best to impede their progress. Maybe they could leave her here where it was relatively safe after they restrained her. Bai Feng hoped that Sharley, Sylph, or even Lingxi would have a technique to bind her here.
The new Mu An
Mu An's cold expression was extremely foreign to Bai Feng. He had never seen her look like that at him. She always looked at him with a warm expression on her face, smiling at him, or telling him that everything was going to be alright after the death of their parents. Even after they went to the Lin Yong sect, she had sent out one of her guards to protect him from the shadows. But now, it looked like she had no more care for him. She was icier than absolute frost. Colder than the ice core of the planet. The Mother of Heavens was rather happy to see Bai Feng's complicated look on his face as he looked at his sister. Then she coughed as she glanced at her palm for a second before saying: "You didn't think that I would let her remain herself if she became my apostle, did you?" "The copy did mess with my thoughts a bit, but I really do appreciate her talent. It's one in a few trillion that is born with innate star
The aid of the universe
Bai Feng was scrambling his brains for an idea while waiting for anyone to come up with a plan to enter the warehouse. It was their penultimate training location, and if they couldn't open this one, they would surely fail at the fourth warehouse as well. But the doors were extremely sturdy, and they also stopped his regeneration, so Bai Feng wasn't sure what they could do in this situation. He simply wasn't strong enough to blow the doors open. He wasn't sure from what material the doors were made from, but he was sure that even peak Half-God realm cultivators shouldn't be able to break it open. The thing was too damn sturdy, only the Mother of Heavens should be able to break it open or someone equal to her strength. Someone equal to her strength... No individual was that strong, but there was someone equal to her! And Bai Feng had contact with that being! He glanced down at his tattooed wrist, with the help of the univ
Unleashing absolute strength
Bai Feng was having quite a bit of trouble fighting 1v2. The Herus fusion, and The lightning apostle fusion were giving him a run for his money.Not like he was taking damage or anything like that, but he was being kept in place as he fought back and forth with them.It was quite annoying not having enough time to penetrate through Herus's defenses before the lightning apostle would blast him with a fused attack of lightning, wind, and water.Then Herus would try to wrestle with him. Of course, even as a fusion, their strength wasn't enough to have a close-quarters fight with Bai Feng.The only reason Bai Feng hadn't finished them off yet was because of their annoying tactics and the fact that they had regenerative capabilities that resembled those of a body cultivator.It looked like their powers were getting quite the boost while they were near The Mother of Heavens' base.Not like it mattered, Bai Feng was getting annoyed as he continued
Fighting towards the third warehouse
Bai Feng and his team had the upper hand, but that didn't mean they were winning.The guards and formations weren't meant to defend the warehouse, but to delay the attackers by constantly slowing them down, so the apostles could come and team up with the formation and guards.Bai Feng knew that lingering around here was going to be a bad idea, plus, the original was alerted now, so that meant the third and fourth warehouses were going to be extra defended, and they would have to fight some apostles for sure.He wasn't sure if she was going to descend personally, but there was a chance that could happen as well unless the copy had an ace under its sleeve that she didn't say anything about for a situation like this.Bai Feng liked surprises, and he hoped he would be surprised.Bai Feng whistled, making his team take a formation as they hastily dodged to the side.Bai Feng's muscles became extremely defined as veins popped up on his whole arm w
The second warehouse and problems
Their arrival at the second warehouse was the same as at the first. They didn't attract any attention from the guards or formations. They hid perfectly according to the copy's instructions, then they waited for the guards and formations to be turned off.Unfortunately, this time around, it didn't work as perfectly as before.The first problem came with Bai Feng. While he waited, he realized that he was slowly being scanned by something, and if he stayed in the same place, he would surely be found.He didn't understand why that was happening, but he moved away from the area that could be scanned.This triggered a guard to come closer, making it suspicious of what happened.While the guards weren't real people and were made artificially, that didn't mean they didn't have intelligence.They were all pretty smart and understood that something had been near the scanning area of the second warehouse, they didn't see what it was, but they realized
The resource warehouses (Part 2)
It didn't take Bai Feng much time to call everyone over.Sylph and Sharley, Lingxi, and with him they would be 4, there was Shirbo as well, making them a total of 5, and Bai Feng invited him over for some food before they left the planet.Bai Feng coughed, making all of the combatants look at him. Shirbo was stuffing his face while the other three were rather serious as they awaited Bai Feng's words.Bai Mu and Sally were doing their best training while Luo Gang and Mo Pian were making more food for Shirbo."As you guys know, I have been contacted by my inside friend, and I have gained the location of the warehouses that we can raid for the resources we need."Bai Feng shared the coordinates with all of them, then he explained how space travel worked.After that, he told them the plan that the copy had created, word for word. He insisted that they should memorize it, and do exactly as it said for their safety.The others found the pla
