This was a process of Bei Feng replacing the declining cells in his body and bones. The quality of this purple energy was very high, and it was extremely beneficial to the body.
Bei Feng slowly opened his eyes and spat out a cold breath.
A layer of dirt as well as congealed blood had already appeared on his body. This body had been simply too old, and the amount of impurities in it was extremely high.
If he wanted to completely replace the cells, blood, and bones, it would still require a long period of time. This was why he’d decided to only go out the next month.
This planet also followed a calender of years and months. The only difference was that a year here was equivalent to 1095 Earth days. In other words, one year here was three years on Earth. So, a month here lasted 90 days, and a day had 72 hours.
There was still more than half a month left until the next month, and to Bei Feng, this time was already sufficient.
Time passed slowly, day by day. Bei Feng’s appetite also grew, and he needed to consume large amounts of Demonic Beasts meat every day. Of course, the results were also great.
Bei Feng had already completely stabilized his cultivation at the second layer of the Hundred Year realm, and his body seemed to have entered a second round of puberty. His height grew from 1.6 meters to the current 1.75 meters. His body also no longer reeked of the decaying aura so common among old people.
The entire Lu Family were left completely speechless by this abrupt change. Nobody expected that Lu Qintian’s transformation would be so huge. It was so drastic as to be likened to meeting a ghost in broad daylight; never before had anyone seen a person undergo such drastic changes after breaking through to the second layer of the Hundred Year realm.
Today happened to be the first day of the new month. Bei Feng walked out of the yard with a set of clean new robes on his body as he watched the ensemble of men and vehicles below.
This manor-style building was 572 meters tall, but it only had three levels. At this moment, Bei Feng was standing atop the rooftop garden.
Numerous stalks of Grade 1 spirit herbs were scattered all over the garden, and at the center, there was a 100 meters tall Golden Silk Jade Flesh Tree, a Grade 4 spirit plant. At this time, the garden’s spirit herbs were all blooming resplendently with flowers, and a clear floral fragrance filled the air.
“Father, let me come with you.”
Lu Liang and the rest walked over with worried expressions.
Bei Feng turned around and instructed seriously, “No need, you just need to concentrate on taking care of the company along with your brother. The two of you must work hand in hand; without any one of you, the company will not be able to maintain its current state. Do not take those shareholders to be meek lambs; each and every one of them are actually ferocious wolves clad in sheep clothing! The moment you show any weakness, they will pounce on you and strip your bones bare! Your character is reserved, while your younger brother is brash and scheming. Communicate well if you meet any troubles.”
“Understood.” Lu Liang hurriedly lowered his head and nodded. He then turned around and introduced, “Father, this team’s experts are extremely loyal to us and can be trusted. Nine of them are powerful experts at the Third Layer of the Hundred Year realm, while the team captain is a powerhouse at the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm.
“Old Master.”
The 10-man team all bowed respectfully and greeted Bei Feng.
These people were all children who had been taken in by the Lu Family from a young age, sponsored through school and taught martial arts. They were equivalent to the Lu Family’s private troops.
“En. The trip to the Heaven Connecting Tower this time will be dangerous and unpredictable. Those who wish to leave, do so now. This old one will not stop you.”
Bei Feng nodded lightly as he measured the small group before him.
The 10 men did not move at all in response to the question. From a young age, they had been taught that the Lu Family members were people they needed to protect with their lives.
“Very good, since everyone is so dedicated, I shall be rewarding everyone one million dollars when we return. The team captain shall receive two million,” Bei Feng declared with a satisfied smile.
“We swear to protect the old master’s safety with our lives!”
The 10 men bowed as a shocking killing intent rose into the air along with their shouts.
The corners of Bei Feng’s mouth twitched lightly as he looked at this scene. These people had clearly been brainwashed. But was the Lu Family wrong to do this? Bei Feng did not think so.
The kids that the family had taken in were all orphans who had no one to care for them. The Lu Family raised them, clothed them, gave them food and a roof, as well as education and resources. The resources needed to nurture them were also not a small amount. Perhaps the motive of the Lu Family in doing so was not pure, but at the end of the day, they had indeed cared for these kids and gave them a life without lack of food and clothing.
There was no lack of immoral people on Tianmu Planet; at the very least, they had not mistreated the kids. At this point, it was difficult to judge the actions of the Lu Family right or wrong.
“The few of you, stand by and wait for my orders first.”
“Yes!”
Lu Liang instructed them, and the 10 men quickly left in an orderly manner.
“Father, let the experts block for you if there’s any trouble; you must not take any unneccesary risks.”
Lu Liang felt an intense headache with regards to Bei Feng’s stubborness. The whole family had tried to dissaude him countless times throughout the last few days, but the old man remained unmoved. At this time, they could only shake their heads and accept his decision.
“Don’t worry, I know when to retreat and advance.
Bei Feng nodded casually, not worried in the least.
“Father, this is a spatial ring with three cubic meters of space inside. There are some spirit pills and energy fluids inside, a few quantum bombs, and antidotes to some known poisons. Please keep it properly; don’t let others find it.”
Lu Liang took out a silver white ring from his pocket with a heartaching expression and passed it to Bei Feng.
Was it possible not to feel any heartache? The price of a single self-fitting spatial ring of three cubic meters space was over 300 million dollars! In addition, the three small quantum bombs cost another 200 miliion. The large assortment of pills and medicine was worth over 100 millon. Just this little ring itself was worth over an eigth of the entire Lu Family’s fortune!
The Lu Family’s wealth was mainly in their business, and they naturally could not have so much liquid funds. The money to buy the stuff in this ring had even been raised by using a few of their restaurants as collateral!
“Alright.”
Bei Feng nodded with some shock. His powerful mental power immediately dove into the ring and left a mental imprint.
In an instant, a three cubic meter space opened up before his mental power. Numerous test tubes lay inside, every single one filled with energy fluids meant to assist one with cultivation. There was also a box of Fasting Pills for emergency use. Each Fasting Pill could allow a Hundred Year realm Second Layer cultivator not to eat for three days. There were also some fresh clothes inside for him to change into.
Lu Liang led the way, showing Bei Feng to the side of the warehouse where the group of 10 were ready and waiting for him. Several magnetically suspended cars were parked at the side.
Soon, under the worried eyes of Lu Liang, five cars rose into the air and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Bei Feng sat atop the magnetic suspension car without a shred of nervousness on his face. Instead, he looked at his surroundings with interest. Although he’d already looked over Lu Qintian’s memories, seeing this amazing world through his own eyes was even more shocking.
Thousand meters tall buildings could be seen everywhere, towering into the sky. Large numbers of floating cars cruised through the sky in a surprisingly systematic manner.
Bei Feng’s destination was Tianhuang City, which was a large distance away. Tianhuang City was one of the 365 small-tiered cities, and was ranked 182nd.
The 365 Heaven Connecting Towers were ranked according to the danger level and the level of resources within them.
Tianhuang City depended on the trade of a special species of warbeasts called Tianhuang beasts for a living. These warbeasts were comparable to Fourth Layer Hundred Year realm cultivators when they reached adulthood, and their battle power was so great that they could even be compared to the most top-tier experts in that realm.
Most importantly, these warbeasts were extremely easy to tame within the first year of their lives. After that, it would be nearly impossible to subdue them, and they would rather die than submit.
Bei Feng sat in the floating car and looked downwards. The speed of these vehicles was extremely impressive as they could travel at supersonic speed.
Apart from Bei Feng, there were two other guards on the car with him. Their age was not high—they were only about 40 years old. The fact that they had already trained to the Third Layer of the Hundred Year realm by this age was already very good. The leader of this small team was an extremely talented genius, projected to have the chance to reach the Thousand Year realm before he reached a hundred years old!
Bei Feng had asked for the young leader’s name and learnt that it was Lu Bu. When he’d first heard this name, he almost burst out laughing on the spot, and only managed to control himself with great effort.
This fellow’s name was exactly like a historical character in his previous world. If he ended up like the other Lu Bu 1 , that would be really crazy.
The other person was a woman named Lu Bing. Her strength was at the peak of the Third Layer, and she could break through at any time.
Very quickly, Bei Feng’s group arrived at the airport and boarded a flying battleship towards Tianhuang City.
These flying battleships could travel at speeds up to five times the speed of sound, and were extremely suitable for long-distance flights. However, the price of riding on one was extremely exorbitant. Bei Feng’s group spent nearly 200,000 HCD just for this trip.
Travelling at five times the speed of sound, it only took five to six hours to reach their destination. Looking down from the battleship, one could see the outline of an enormous city spread out before them. With just a casual glance, it was enough to tell that this city was at least 10 times larger than the county!
Tianhuang City was the heart of the surrounding counties, and the number of people living in it exceeded 130 million. The city was extremely grand and glorious to look upon.
“We’ll rest here for the night. Tomorrow, we’ll be heading for the Heaven Connecting Tower,” Bei Feng instructed as he led the group and walked into the hotel that their cars had stopped in front of.
After a sumptous dinner, Bei Feng retreated to his suite. This suite was extremely spacious and there were two rooms inside. A night in this suite cost a neat 5,000 HCD, and was considered to be very expensive. Some of the cheaper hotels only cost 100 HCD for a night. However, Bei Feng naturally wasn’t going to lose his comfort over some expenses. After all, he had plenty of money.
Bei Feng went into the innermost room to rest, while two members of his team stood guard outside.
“The Yin-Yang School’s legacy is really not simple. And this is just a small part of the legacy. If I had the complete legacy… the value would be inestimable!” Bei Feng mumbled to himself. The Yin-Yang School’s legacy had been remembered and kept close by Bei Feng in his soul. He knew that this was an extremely valuable treasure since just the translation of it required over 100,000 experience points.
This portion of the legacy portended to the art of astronomy, using the stars to calculate fortune and disaster. Some types of curses and spells were recorded as well, along with the methods to build a proper stargazing tower to attract the stellar energy of the universe.
The moment Bei Feng saw the materials required to build a stargazing tower, he instantly felt that he was an extremely poor ghost with nothing to his name. The materials required to build this stargazing tower were simply too expensive!
It was true that this planet had these materials, but with the Lu Family’s capabilities, they would not be able to buy even a single core material required to build the stargazing tower!
‘It’s still too far-fetched to think about the stargazing tower. There’s no way to hurry it. In contrast, these curses are much easier to reach an initial understanding of.’
Bei Feng spat out a breath of air in a sigh. Everything needed resources; if he really stayed inside the Lu Family all day, he might need another two or three years to recover to the strength that he had previously possessed!
Bei Feng opened the window and sat down cross-legged, making sure that his entire body was enveloped in the purple moonlight that cascaded through the window. At this time, numerous streaks of purple energy flowed into his body.
The night passed peacefuly. After a quick breakfast, Bei Feng led everyone out and travelled towards the Heaven Connecting Tower.
This was the first time that Bei Feng had seen the Heaven Connecting Tower. The dull black tower was a thousand zhang tall, and a huge variety of engravings of flowers, birds, fish, bugs, and flying beasts could be seen on its walls.
The Heaven Connecting Tower was wrapped in an ancient aura, evidence of the marks that time had left behind on it.
