Chapter 70: Mystery of Mysteries

Wang Hu was so surprised his mouth dropped wide open on the spot, hammering and hawing incoherently as he stared at Ma Ming in disbelief. Did he just hear President Ma put him in charge of providing all the building materials for the entire construction project?!
“T-thank you, President Ma! I will definitely give you the best price in the market!”
Wang Hu finally managed to stammer out his thanks in glee after some time.
He had not dared to harbor too much hope in the beginning. After all, his company was not as big and resourceful as others. In terms of value, he did not have much to offer. He only wanted to try to gamble on the possibility. But now, the huge slab of meat had actually fallen into his hands!
“Those who put in the effort would always be rewarded. It’s getting late, let’s go.”
Ma Ming smiled lightly as he looked at the ecstatic Wang Hu. Then, he picked up his stuff and got up.
Wang Hu hurriedly got up and ran to Bei Feng, handing him the rest of the money in cash, and rushed to follow behind Ma Ming.
“Wei Wei, I’m so sorry. The job opportunity that was supposed to be yours had been ruined just like that.”
Liu Xiya stroked his girlfriend’s hair gently as he spoke with some disappointment.
“It’s nothing. We can always look elsewhere. To be honest, I had felt that the way that Wang fellow looked at me was somewhat strange. It’s like he couldn’t wait to eat me alive…”
A woman’s intuition was extremely frightening. Luo Wei was extremely distrustful of the outrageous and unbridled eyes of Wang Yong. But, because she wanted to give her boyfriend a bit of face, she had not expressed her displeasure.
“Besides, today’s trip was not made in vain. The food here is really delicious!”
Luo Wei’s eyes lit up as she recalled the wondrous taste on her tongue a moment ago. This was, without a doubt, the best tasting food she had ever tasted in her life.
“It’s good as long as you like it.”
Liu Xiya looked at the contented garfield-like expression on his girlfriend’s face and even the pain from the hole in his empty wallet was mostly diminished.
The yard slowly emptied as more and more guests left. Every single person had arrived full of complaints and displeasure, but now, they left fully satisfied and content. Walking the arduous path to the restaurant was worth the effort, and the food was well worth every single cent of the exorbitant price tag!
Of course, there were some people who felt that the price was a little on the high side. Some of them even tried to ask Bei Feng if it was possible to lower the price when they came next time.
With regards to these questions, Bei Feng simply cracked his knuckles like a hooligan and asked if they would prefer broken bones or a discount…

“Aish! Softer, softer!”
Wang Yong groaned as he laid within a hospital ward somewhere in Qingcheng. An IV drip hung above him and his arm was wrapped in a plaster cast.
“Big Brother Wang, are we just going to let this matter slide?”
Ceng Yu, who was similarly wrapped in a cast and lying on the bed beside Wang Yong, asked.
“Slide my ass! Your Daddy, I, had never received such a beating since I was born! When we get out of here, we’ll bring a few guys to smash that place up!”
Wang Yong was choking on his own rage. What a grand humiliation! The whole world would likely laugh themselves to death if they ever heard the tale of how he had been reduced to such a state by a little girl!
Bei Feng, on the other hand, had no clue about the vengeful spirit lying in a hospital not far away from his mansion, plotting for his demise. He sent the last guests away and instructed Mystic Two and Three to clean everything away.
As the proud boss of his newly acquired crew, Bei Feng naturally did not need to participate in such chores. Instead, he took the Purple Bamboo Fishing Rod and approached the Ancient Well.
“I guess luck will not favor me every time…”
The time limit had passed and the black vortex was shrinking. Bei Feng had sat patiently beside the well the entire time, but had not caught anything. He could only retrieve the rod with a sigh and return to his room for the night.
Bei Feng woke up at the usual time the next morning and led the three Bei Feng Guards up Mt. Qingling.
As for his chatroom, it was bubbling and rife with discussions.
“En, yesterday, I went to try out the food at Bei Feng’s private restaurant. To be honest, I was initially very disappointed when I arrived. The guests were all forced to march on a grueling, mountainous path for around half an hour just to reach the actual restaurant.
But the moment you smell the fragrance and bite into the food, you’ll find that none of that matters at all!
I have lived on this good Earth for 30 years, and that was the first time I have ever tasted food as delicious as that. In that moment, I felt like the food I had been eating my entire life had been nothing more than coarse, poor men’s chaff!”
Everyone who had visited Bei Feng’s Private Restaurant the night before had nothing but praise on their mouths. Every single person was heavily promoting the food to the rest.
“Are you guys serious? Is it really that delicious?!” Someone asked in disbelief.
“Of course! Other than the price, everything else is perfect!” The person before answered without hesitation.
“There’s no way that you guys are all people employed by the boss to boost his reputation, right?” Someone asked suspiciously.
“Trust me, it’s really delicious! Although I, Li Meng, would not dare to proclaim myself as one who have tasted everything on Earth, I can at least be considered an experienced gormandizer. Of all the delicacies I’ve tasted in my life, there’s truly none which can even match up to Bei Feng’s Private Restaurant’s food!” Li Meng retorted.
“Che, the way you guys talk is as if this Bei Feng’s Private Restaurant was serving some kind of heavenly cuisine. I say, you are all paid to promote the food!” The person refused to backdown.
“Hmph! Sour grapes! Why don’t you go and try the food yourself if you’re so skeptical?” Li Meng replied with scorn.
“They’re speaking the truth, the food is really delicious! It’s worth every cent! I can touch my heart and vow on this!”
Everyone who had tried the food emerged to defend the restaurant.
Three distinct groups were formed in Bei Feng’s chat group. The first comprised of the hardcore supporters of the restaurant, who had tasted the food themselves. This group had the fewest members.
The second group was made up of those who opposed the propaganda-style promotion of Bei Feng’s food. These people were of the opinion that the people from the first group were all paid to exaggerate the taste of the food!
The last group was the neutral party. They neither believed the first group nor dismissed their claims like the second group.
Bei Feng was currently instructing the three Bei Feng Guards in a serious manner, and was unaware of all the commotion.
Minor Illumination Breathing Technique looked simple from the outside, but this technique was actually a method to integrate the spirit and the body. It was incredibly complicated!
If ten thousand different people practiced Minor Illumination Breathing Technique, the end result would be that there would be ten thousand different versions of it!
No two individuals’ bodies could be completely the same. There would at least be minute differences which are unique to an individual. This was the case for twins as well. Only by adapting the technique to suit the individual’s body could one successfully attract the sunrays!
If it was that easy to attract the energy from the sun, martial practitioners would be as common as stray dogs, and masters would be found all over the streets.
Bei Feng’s guidance could only show them the method to cultivate, but as for whether the three Bei Feng Guards could comprehend the technique and modify it to suit their bodies or not was a different matter altogether.
Minor Illumination Breathing Technique was a mystical arcane technique. It could only be sensed, not explained, like the mystery of mysteries. If one obtained their own understanding of the technique, they could practice it. If not, they would never be able to begin cultivating it in their entire life no matter how hard they tried!
Bei Feng would not be able to provide much aid in this area. What he was trying to do was to use words to convey the experiences which the numerous practitioners before him had gleaned from their cultivation, as well as highlight the important points to take note of.
After that, he began his own practice.
The first rays had already been drawn by him earlier. The current sunrays were too tyrannical, and Bei Feng did not dare to absorb any.
If he did and was lucky, he might get away with serious injuries. But if he was unlucky, his body would likely combust from the inside out, turning him into ashes!
Due to the copious amounts of Blood God Fruit essence still residing in his body, Bei Feng’s cultivation had advanced incredibly quickly.
The benefits he got from a day’s cultivation were comparable to a few months or even years of an ordinary practitioner’s cultivation!
His stats were climbing at an inconceivable rate every single day!
‘If my calculations aren’t wrong, my body’s stat average should break through the 100 mark after another ten days!’
The closer he got to the 100 mark, the more distinct a feeling Bei Feng had that breaking past the 100 mark would not be an easy matter!
His stats average was currently past the 80 mark already.
If one were to consider pure strength, Bei Feng was already eight times stronger than an average person!
