Chapter 122: Sashimi
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The sauce did not require many ingredients to prepare. Just some soy sauce and fresh Qixing pepper was enough.
He had been eating rather simply as of late. Although the food tasted great that way, Bei Feng had been of a mind to change his menu for a while already. Thus, when he went to the village earlier, he had bought these ingredients as well.
Using a knife, he sliced the piece of fish into numerous thin, even slices. Then, he grabbed a piece, dipped it into the sauce and put it into his mouth.
‘Mmh, how springy! The meat tastes so smooth and the texture is so succulent and exquisite! There’s not even a trace of any residue on it!’
Bei Feng squinted his eyes in delight as he bit on the meat. The juices within the meat flowed smoothly on his tongue as he chewed. Although the meat was chewy, it was not the kind that could not be broken down no matter how one chewed!
With just a few light bites, the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King’s meat seemed to melt within his mouth. The faint sweet, meaty taste was mixed with some sort of indescribable fragrance, which lingered on his tongue. A light icy feeling traveled down his throat as he swallowed.
As the food entered his stomach, the frosty taste began to slowly grow stronger as countless strands of energy spread through his body!
A strand of frosty energy traveled through his spine all the way to his head, causing Bei Feng to shiver violently!
When the frost energy flowed through his head, Bei Feng suddenly found that he was unable to move at all!
It was like even his mental power had been frozen, causing a sense of panic to grow in his heart.
The human body was extremely complicated and mysterious. This was especially the case for the brain. It was the most complicated part of the body and even the slightest damage to it could turn one into a retard!
Luckily, the effect did not last for too long. Perhaps it felt like a few minutes to Bei Feng, but in reality, it was only a mere moment, enough for one to blink an eye. His control over his body was immediately restored.
“This Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat can actually be of benefit to Mental Power!”
The moment Bei Feng regained his ability to move, the first thing he did was to use his perception to inspect his entire body.
The first thing he noticed was that his mental power had grown stronger by a negligible amount. But even though it was very little, it had indeed grown!
With regards to his control over his body and perhaps even the deepest secrets within it, Bei Feng might not be able to find out much about it. But for the mental power which he used every day, even if he might not be able to control it perfectly and know not the best methods to wield it, he still knew its exact quantity like the back of his palm.
Seeing that nothing bad had happened to him and his mental power had even grown slightly, Bei Feng placed another piece of meat into his mouth without further thought.
Over two jin of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat quickly disappeared into Bei Feng’s stomach. But before he could even relish the taste, a wave of pain took over his stomach, causing him to clutch his belly with a grave expression.
“Not good! I ate too much!”
Bei Feng’s face twisted grotesquely. His body already was filled to its maximum capacity, but the meat in his stomach was still releasing waves of energy unceasingly! He hurriedly got up and began practicing the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique without any hesitation.
As he raised his hands, the strange pressure immediately appeared once again, restricting and pressing down on him!
With the appearance of strange pressure, Bei Feng’s blood flow quickly became lethargic and slow. But this time, with the unceasing flow of energy from the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat, his blood flow began to speed up again.
At the beginning, the blood flow was extremely slow, like a tortoise dragging a car. But as more and more energy was released from the digestion of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King’s meat, his blood flow began to flow faster and faster!
“Pop! Pop!”
A series of light popping sounds could be heard all over Bei Feng’s body. Each light ‘pop’ sound represented a blood vessel or capillary clearing up!
This was only the beginning. With the increased period of time that Bei Feng maintained that posture, the pressure also increased gradually. The strange thing was, the force was only applicable to Bei Feng’s body. Even the grass around him was not affected at all!
Bei Feng continued withstanding that pressure forcefully as the support from the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King’s nutritious meat flowed into him. In the blink of an eye, this agonizing posture had already been maintained for over three minutes!
Of course, the amount of energy this move expended was enough to shock anyone to death. Under this terrifying pressure, an ocean of energy was necessary to make his blood flow forward for even a little bit!
The effects of such a brutal training was also painfully obvious. Numerous droplets of inky black liquid were expelled from his body like sweat. Bei Feng was like a piece of clothing which had shrunk in the washing machine. Based solely on appearance, in just that short period of three minutes, he had lost a few jin of weight!
But if one were to observe carefully, they would see that not only had he not lost any weight, he had actually grown heavier!
This situation was just like comparing cotton and metal in weight–if one were to compare an equally big pile of each, then it’d be common sense that metal would be heavier despite having the same size and volume!
A portion of the energy from the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat had been burned away to clear his blood vessels. Another portion turned into supplements which flowed into those vessels, strengthening them. The rest of the energy had all seeped into Bei Feng’s flesh and blood, slowly strengthening his body!
The bountiful energy from two jin of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat was completely expended in that three minutes of resisting against the strange force!
“Bang!”
With the only thing supporting him against the strange pressure gone, Bei Feng did not even last another three seconds as he slammed heavily into the ground!
“Boom!”
The moment the restraining force disappeared, Bei Feng’s blood which had been held back all this time immediately burst forth like a group of wild stallions, flowing about within his body with terrifying speed!
In an instant, tens of thousands of blood vessels and capillaries which had been lined with thin layers of impurities for years were unclogged, flushing out all the impurities! Disgusting bloody, black sweat oozed steadily out of Bei Feng’s pores!
The cells within his body were all shining resplendently, even emanating a faint glow. Every single cell was stronger than a regular person’s by tens and hundreds of times now!
After the blood vessels had been cleared, every cell outside of the blood vessels immediately released a portion of their energy to further strengthen the walls of the vessels.
Some of the vessels which had been wrecked by the initial blood rush began to heal with the inflow of energy, becoming even sturdier than before. The reconstructed vessels even began to expand slowly!
Bei Feng crawled to a sitting position with a heavy groan. The smell on his body caused him to gag and he nearly retched. After his body was strengthened, all his senses had been improved yet again. His smell and sight were now many times stronger than the average person’s!
Thus, although the nasty black dirt on his body only smelled rather disgusting to normal people, it felt like a biological weapon to Bei Feng!
Normally, Bei Feng would consciously block his own senses so as to avoid being overwhelmed. Otherwise, a mere breeze would sound like a train passing by to him. Right now, he did not hesitate to block his senses as he dashed for the bathroom.
After a series of vigorous scrubbing, Bei Feng felt like his body was as light as a feather. It was like he could soar into the sky with a single leap!
“Gururu! Gururu!”
Bei Feng’s stomach began growling once again. Due to the massive expenditure of energy earlier, coupled with the explosive increase in strength, it was no wonder that he began to feel hungry again so quickly.
He retrieved a small piece of meat from the basement and prepared to eat it raw once again. This time, he did not dare to eat too much anymore. He stopped after eating about half a jin of meat.
Bei Feng did not want to fall into an endless loop of overeating, training, bathing, and eating again without rest.
Half a jin was the best. It was within the realms which his body could handle, and he wouldn’t feel hungry after that too.
Thinking back to the massive amounts of meat in the basement, Bei Feng smiled happily. “There’s no longer a need to worry about food for a really long time!”
After tidying everything up, he went back to his room to watch the TV.
Actually, with how remote the old mansion was, together with the fact that Bei Feng’s mansion was the only one in the area, there should logically not be any access to the TV channels. After all, who would bother to connect and wire to such a place?
The main reason such a thing even happened was due to the influence of the Nie family! As long as they had a chance to please the Nie family and establish connections with them, people would naturally volunteer to do things like that. Even if the mansion was more remote, they would not hesitate to set up the connection!
