Mo Pian immediately stopped cooking the moment that Bai Feng got his attention.
Bai Feng then told him:
"I understand why I'm not reaching a breakthrough even though I have eaten so many dishes as it seems that while you have improved the recipe for this particular dish. It's still not enough for my body."
"The explosion of Qi that comes when I eat the dish is something that gives the illusion that there's a lot of Qi in the dish. Of course, for Qi cultivators like you, it may seem a lot and a great improvement from the last dish, but it seems that it isn't the same for me."
Mo Pian nodded at the feedback and stopped cooking the same dish as before. He scratched his head and asked:
"You still need to breakthrough as you are so close to it, but I don't think I'm inspired enough to create a new recipe that could help you right now."
Bai Feng shook his head as he glanced at the crates, which were kept cool and nice in Mo Pian's kitchen.
Bai Feng could hardly open his eyes as Aura materialized in front of him. Her form was transparent as she endured the flames which were running around Bai Feng's form.Because of their connection, Aura had to withstand the flame torture as well. Familiars usually took a quarter of the brunt from the tribulations of their partners. However, that didn't mean the tribulation was getting easier on Bai Feng. Aura just experienced a quarter of the power that was rushing through Bai Feng.But now that she was outside the jewel, the full brunt of the fire was downing upon her. She was a water spirit, so she was supposed to be strong against fire, but a fire in such high amounts of such high quality seemed to make her counter attribute useless.She gritted her teeth as he feeble weak palms approached Bai Feng's flaming body, but Bai Feng shook his head as well as he could while enduring the pain as he opened his mouth to warn her:"You will dissipate if you make d
Bai Feng looked at Mo Pian. Since he didn't have a good sensing ability, he needed to rely on him to see if he could absorb Qi from the atmosphere instead of getting it from food.Mo Pian said previously that not many cultivators eat food at one point as they become strong enough, not needing to do such things.They could practically live like plants.This wasn't a thing that Bai Feng liked about cultivation as he was a gourmet person that enjoyed eating the most in his life.However, cultivating quicker was going to come in handy, and not needing to eat didn't mean that Bai Feng couldn't eat anymore.So he decided to get Mo Pian's help, seeing that he could actually breathe in Qi now.Mo Pian waited for Bai Feng to put order to his thoughts, then Bai Feng said:"Can you help me find out about this?"Mo Pian nodded as he said:"Can you breathe in just like you did before?"Bai Feng nodded and took in a deep breath
Bai Feng wasn't sure where Mo Pian was taking him. After they finished talking about a place where he could find someone to spar with. Mo Pian closed the restaurant and said he had a place to show him.Right now, they were walking along the relatively empty streets of the outer sect.Some people who wore different robes could be seen here and there. They were visitors, but they were in such a low number they could be barely seen. As Mo Pian and Bai Feng took a stroll around the place, they could see that they were the only locals still walking around the sect.No local disciples were walking around, as they must likely be in closed-door cultivation, preparing for the upcoming tournament.The outer sect tournament was a good way for outer disciples to gain the attention of elders of the sect who might think the disciples have something unique about themselves or were diamonds in the rough that they could excavate. Also, the rewards were very good. So even
Bai Feng stood in the left corner near the entrance of the cage, which was now locked. Bijon stood in the right corner leaning on the iron walls of the cage. Bijon was a quite tall man who had scars running from his temple to his cheek horizontally on both sides, but somehow, both of his eyes were unaffected by whatever gave him those scars. They were glaring at Bai Feng from the right side of the cage, green eyes filled with aggression. He wore the robes of the sect, but they were tattered and ripped from place to place. His facial hair was scruffy, and the one on his head was cut short. Bijon also wore a small silver circle earring on his right ear. The referee looked at them as he said: "The fight will start very soon. Have you finished betting?" Most of the people waved the betting slips up in the air. Then they shouted in fervor for the battle to begin. They had greedy looks in their eyes as they looked at Bijon while wai
The crowd and the referee looked at the supposed to be ending fight. With puzzled looks on their faces. Bai Feng didn't know that there was no forfeit option in these cage fights as either you became incapacitated, and the referee pointed out the winner, or you continued until one of the fighters couldn't move anymore. And at that point, the referee didn't have to say a thing. Bai Feng glanced towards the exit, which he thought was supposed to open after he won, but Bijon, who had his hands up, suddenly gave a sly smile as more sparks started to appear on his legs, which seemed that they couldn't handle even moving anymore. However, despite their destroyed looks, the legs worked normally as another kick was sent directly towards Bai Feng's head without any problem while he was looking back to the exit. It seemed that the blood that dripped downwards on his legs through the fabric of his pants was fake! Bai Feng could feel bells ring in his head as he fell to
Bai Feng looked around, now that he had time to do it, and observed the crowd, which were all cheering for him, bar some people who were too sour due to them losing their money from betting on Bijon. Mo Pian was looking at him from a distance with a proud look on his face. But he was still rather ashamed that he didn't tell him the rules, which lead to him being caught off guard a few times. But Bai Feng didn't care as he looked at Bijon, who was kneeling in front of him, shivering. Bai Feng stopped gazing at him as he shook his head and looked back at the exit of the cage. He wanted to leave. Bijon took in a deep breath to calm himself. While he saw Bai Feng make his way to the exit. Bai Feng waited for the door to open for a few seconds, then he left the cage, leaving Bijon to sulk about his defeat. The referee and Mo Pian came forward to congratulate Bai Feng on his win. Mo Pian wanted to start first, but the referee walked
The guard's action went unnoticed as Bai Feng and the trio prepared to fight.Bai Feng looked at each of them before he asked:"So, who wants to go first?"The trio didn't say anything as the one on the left took a step forward and gave a small salute as he said:"I'm the youngest of three of us, so I shall go first. In our culture, the youngest goes first when we are the ones who challenge and the oldest when we are challenged."The other two didn't chime in as they let the younger brother talk.Bai Feng nodded and asked:"Are you ready?"The youngest brother shook his head briefly before informing Bai Feng:"I first need to do the ritual before an official fight, don't worry, it only takes a few minutes, and my brothers won't have to repeat it after I'm done."The youngest barbarian did a small slice on his thumb as a few drops of blood dripped on the ground in front of them, and he started to mutter in an unkno
The guards were quite puzzled to see Elder Chitong make his way towards Bai Feng, Mo Pian, and the three brothers. The casino elders were the lowliest type of elders in the sect. And they didn't have much weight in the sect. They were only rather important in the outer sect, and that was all. They were called elders only because they gave some contributions to the sect to a certain level. Since they contributed to the sect so much, but their talent was abysmal. They were given the honorary title of elder and an easy position that could make them money, so they could live the rest of their lives in comfort. They weren't really respected, as they had very little authority over the overall happenings in the sect. They were only responsible for the post they were given, and they had no other attributes, giving them no prestige. Their cultivation bases were also quite mediocre if they were to be compared to the true elders. Even though they were qu
