Chapter 312: Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Everyone in the great hall was displaying a strange expression. Bei Feng's face was also exceedingly cramped. What kind of stupid beauty standards were cherished in this crazy world?!
With one minister stepping out, the others also gathered their courage and stood out in objection. They gave all kinds of reasons about why the marriage should not be permitted. The main point was simply that Bei Feng was too ugly and his marriage to the princess would harm the prestige of the royal clan and cause the entire empire to lose face!
Only the military generals did not say anything. A large portion of them were Xia Peng's men.
Xia Ding could hear the voices below him, and his heart was also extremely conflicted. However, now was not the time to lose all decorum with Xia Peng.
Finally, under the emotionless gaze of Xia Peng, Xia Ding sat down weakly on his throne and agreed to the wedding.
A large portion of the ministers immediately cried out in protest as they pointed directly at Xia Peng and scolded.
'Bunch of old fools. I'll definitely find a reason and send all of you to meet King Yama one day!'
Xia Peng quietly committed the people who were pointing their fingers against him to his memory.
The chaotic morning court ended with that, and Bei Feng followed Xia Peng back to the mansion.
A month later, Bei Feng was "happily" married to the 19th Princess without even seeing her once prior to the wedding.
"What the hell is all this!"
Bei Feng walked into the nuptial chamber and saw a tall lady sitting on the bed. A violet golden veil was draped over her head, and he felt an intense headache assaulting him just by looking at her.
He did not even move towards the bed. Instead, he simply grabbed a towel and laid it out on the ground to sleep.
Bei Feng still had some self-awareness. He was not so naive to believe that he was really this Xia Ji's husband. He knew without a doubt that if he dared to approach her, he would definitely be smacked to death with one finger!
Bei Feng woke up early the next day and came to the lake beside the mansion where he began to practice his Bear Form Style.
Along the way, everyone who saw Bei Feng would point at him and whisper about how pitiful the 19th Princess was to marry such a useless person.
Bei Feng did not mind, either. He was not in the royal city anymore, but a mid-sized city with several large cities between them. This was a dowry gift that the emperor had given to Xia Ji.
Bei Feng did not have to worry about food and shelter here. Every meal consisted of all kinds of precious spirit herbs and the blood and flesh of powerful savage beasts!
His wounds were healing quickly, and he did not have to rely on the purple bead to withstand the pressure from the gravity and atmosphere as well.
'The Form and Will Fist has a powerful effect on healing my injuries. Perhaps with another half a month, all my injuries would have healed completely.'
Bei Feng continued to practice the Bear Form Style and the Eagle Form Style tirelessly. Each style consisted of two categories; the killing techniques, and the refinement techniques!
Before his body completely recovered, he could not use the killing techniques flippantly to avoid aggravating his injuries. But the refinement techniques were different!
The refinement techniques would allow him to adjust his injuries and nourish his blood and Qi.
Bei Feng continued cultivating slowly, not being too impatient for quick improvements. He circulated his pitiful amount of blood and Qi to slowly nourish his tendons and veins.
When he was hungry, there would be food being delivered to him. Bei Feng picked up an inky black cake and placed it absentmindedly into his mouth.
This dessert was extremely refreshing, and its taste was something that he had never tasted before. It had a unique fragrance to it, which gave him a feeling like all his pores were breathing together. It gave one a strange feeling of enjoyment!
"The Princess wanted me to give you this. According to her, you will grow taller after cultivating it."
A towering female dressed in clean green robes drifted over and threw a manual at Bei Feng.
There wasn't the slightest bit of respect in her voice. Xiao Ping was naturally aggrieved for the unfairness of the princess, so how could she possibly be polite to Bei Feng?
Bei Feng could not be bothered to be offended by her either. He picked the manual up and flipped it open.
"Ding! Moon Grade Treasure discovered, Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique! (This is a cultivation technique, and breaking through each level will double the practitioner's height and greatly increase the strength of the body! The amount of resources required to train in the technique would multiply by a hundred fold for each level. Completing every level would birth a different Dharma Idol!) Experience gained: 0!"
Bei Feng's eyes widened with shock as he stared dumbly at the manual in his hand. Moon Grade Treasure?!
'Could it be that this cultivation technique has exceeded the ranks of the original grading levels?'
This was the first time he'd discovered a Moon Grade treasure. From the description of the System, he knew that this cultivation technique was definitely not ordinary!
"System, help me translate it," Bei Feng instructed mentally.
"Experience points are insufficient. Unable to translate the entire manual. The first two levels of the manual can be translated; proceed?"
The emotionless robotic voice of the System rang out, causing Bei Feng's face to stiffen instantly.
Bei Feng thought for a moment before answering, "Just translate the first level then."
He had no way to gain more experience points right now, and there were still many uses for them. It was better to be thrifty first.
A large amount of information appeared in Bei Feng's mind, as though he'd gained a sudden revelation. In an instant, he understood the essence of the first level of the technique!
But Bei Feng only took one look and shook his head with a bitter smile. There was no way he could begin cultivating it right now. This cultivation technique was simply too tyrannical, and only Xiantian Lords could begin cultivating it.
He kept the manual carefully into his spatial ring and continued his practice of the Bear Form Style again.
As for the Eagle Form Style, Bei Feng had finally managed to get a primary level of understanding on it. His inspiration had been gained from observing Xia Peng's Heaven Splitting Eagle on its hunt. Many parts of the technique which he had not understood became clear and his previous comprehensions were pieced together, allowing him to gain a primary level of understanding in the technique in one shot!
As he practiced, a group of people walked over to the lake. A tall lady about a dozen meters tall walked at their front. Her skin was fair, and her features were stunning. She carried the airs of a heaven-toppling beauty as well.
Truthfully, Bei Feng felt that this new wife of his was really exceedingly pretty. Given her massive build, the places which should be big was extremely big as well. But when he saw how her thighs were already as thick as his waist, he instantly lost all his enthusiasm.
It was alright for him to look at her from a distance, but to think about touching her was another matter altogether.
"What are you doing?"
Xia Ji walked over and dismissed the maids and guards around her before turning to look curiously at Bei Feng practicing his strange martial arts.
"Tending to my injuries."
Bei Feng glanced at Xia Ji briefly before replying in a steady tone and continuing with his cultivation.
Bei Feng knew that as long as he did not seek death, he should be safe in this place.
He was just a pawn used to anger Xia Ding, and would naturally be kept alive. As for the others, no one would dare to offend Xia Peng.
"Interesting. But do you know that that is a Medicinal Spirit Flower patch? The flowers are useless for high level practitioners, but it can heal any kinds of injuries for ordinary people. No matter how heavy the injury, it can be healed in an extremely short time. Don't you know this bit of basic knowledge?"
Xia Ji pointed at a patch of small flowers a short distance away and stated blankly.
Bei Feng stared back at her dumbly for a few seconds before walking over to the flower patch.
"Ding! Grade 5 treasure discovered, Medicinal Spirit Flower! (Consuming a single Medicinal Spirit Flower can instantly heal all wounds of anyone under Controlled Dan level of cultivation regardless of the severity of the wound.) Experience gained: 0!"
Bei Feng felt the corners of his mouth twitching violently as he read the System's message. If he knew that he could recover from all his injuries by eating a flower, what was the point of wasting so much effort on his own?!
When he turned around and looked at the pavilion in the distance, he discovered that Xia Ji had disappeared long ago.
"What an amazing flower..."
Bei Feng sighed with amazement. But when he thought of how everyone in this world would have the equivalence of a Xiantian body upon reaching adulthood, the matter did not seem that amazing anymore. This kind of spirit flower with seemingly divine abilities was probably akin to ordinary medicine to these people. Only, it was a medicine with a much stronger and faster effect!
This flower patch was filled with an uncountable number of these flowers. Bei Feng plucked off a thumb-sized Medicinal Spirit Flower and held it in his hand.
This flower seemed like it had bloomed, but at the same time, seemed like it had not. A drop of golden liquid nestled in the center of the flower, emanating a faint fragrance.
