Chapter 246: Returning To The Camp

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

A gust of wind blew lightly across the hill top, sending the towering trees swaying as their crowns rustled noisily.

The originally hostile environment of the untraversed Shennongjia had now been turned into such a large campsite. This image gave one a feeling of surrealism as they looked upon the distinct contrast.

About half a beat later, the two finally regained their senses and followed Bei Feng down the hill.

The sky was getting darker and they had to hurry if they wanted to reach the campsite by nightfall. Throughout the journey down, they could not help but get the feeling that they would be left behind if they could not catch up!

After some time, they finally reached the campsite. It was rather dark now, so nobody recognized Bei Feng.

Back at his own camp, Bei Feng took out his cooking equipment and some normal ingredients and passed them to the two to make dinner.

He had prepared plenty of rations as well, but had no use for them. He did not like chewing on the tough rations in the first place.

In contrast to Bei Feng's flippant attitude, Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie became so emotional upon seeing meat that they started tearing up.

Ji Wuxie started to prepare the ingredients while Jiang Ranran took care of the cooking.

Soon, a tempting fragrance drifted from the pot, causing Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie's stomachs to growl uncontrollably.

Three dishes and a soup was quickly brought into the tent, along with some piping hot rice.

"Big Brother Bei Feng, it's time to eat," Jiang Ranran called out to Bei Feng who was siting cross-legged on his bed.

"En, you guys eat first, there's no need to wait for me," Bei Feng said with a nod as he sank back into silence.

Jiang Ranran took a few more glances at Bei Feng and thought to herself, 'As expected of a true weirdo... not only does he dress strangely, his character is strange too!'

She took the dishes back outside and placed them on the outdoor table. The two of them sat down on their own.

Looking at the spread before her, Jiang Ranran had never felt as happy in her life as she did now. Her chopsticks trembled lightly as she grabbed a piece of bacon and placed it into her mouth. With a light bite, the oily fragrance of the meat burst forth and filled her tongue! In that moment, she nearly cried again as the feeling of satisfaction filled her senses.

She never liked oily food in the past, but today, this oily food was the best thing she'd ever tasted!

Back in the tent, Bei Feng spat out a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes. "My injuries are finally gone."

He stood up with a smile and walked out of the tent. Now, it was time to settle his hunger.

Throughout the day, he'd only had a bowl of wild vegetables soup. His stomach was also beginning to protest by now.

Usually, as long as he did not do any high intensity activities, the energy in Bei Feng's cells was enough to sustain him for ten days to half a month without food or drink. But if he engaged in a large battle or spent his energy breaking through to a new realm, he would feel a hunger more intense than normal people!

With a move of his intent, a piece of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat the size of a football appeared in his hand. On his other hand was a slender kitchen knife and a chopping board prepared specially for cutting the meat.

By the time he came out, Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie had already eaten to their fill. A portion of each dish had also been set aside for Bei Feng.

"Big Brother Bei Feng, you've finally come out! The dishes are a little cold now; shall I help you to warm them up?"

Jiang Ranran stood up quickly and picked up the other dishes as she saw Bei Feng walk out of the tent.

"There's no need, just help me to prepare some sauce and add some chili."

Bei Feng stopped Jiang Ranran and placed his own chopping board on the table.

Bei Feng held the knife like an expert and aimed it at the meat. As he chopped, Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie only saw the knife light and the afterimages of the blade. Each piece of meat was perfectly uniform in size, and was as thin as a cicada's wings! One could even see numerous tiny blue vein patterns on the meat.

With the aid of his mental power, this speed was actually considered very slow. But to Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie, Bei Feng's speed was bordering on divine!

The pieces of meat fell neatly into place on the side, with each piece looking exactly the same as though it had been measured with a ruler. It was impossible to determine the difference in thickness between each piece of meat using the naked eye!

Within tens of seconds, the chopping board was filled with hundreds of pieces of meat, all stacked neatly together. It looked exceptionally appetizing.

"Eh? Where's my sauce?"

Bei Feng looked over at Jiang Ranran with some exasperation.

"Ah! I'll go and prepare it now."

Jiang Ranran seemed to have awoken from a dream as she looked at Bei Feng with veneration.

'Too awesome, is he the God of Culinary?' Jiang Ranran thought to herself as she prepared the sauce.

A faint fragrance permeated the area. Served raw, the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat had a very unique and reserved fragrance, which was different from the strong and powerful smell of when it was cooked.

Bei Feng dipped the sashimi into the sauce and delivered it to his mouth. His actions could not be considered as graceful, but it carried a certain charm.

Piece after piece of meat disappeared swiftly into his mouth. The speed at which he ate was not fast, but it was not slow either. In the time it took to eat a regular meal, the huge plate of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat was finished.

Jiang Ranran looked at Bei Feng with disbelief. She kept looking at the huge plate, and compared it with Bei Feng's stomach. There wasn't even the slightest bulge in his stomach at all! How in the world did he finish all that?

"Brother Bei Feng, when will we be able to go back to the outside world?" Ji Wuxie asked respectfully.

For some reason, there wasn't any cellphone signal here despite it being the camping ground for so many people. He wanted to call home and report on his safety.

Bei Feng made some rough calculations and said, "At least one more day, or if longer, it might take another two or three days."

"Big Brother Bei Feng, why are there so many people here? Judging by your knife skills, you should be a chef, right? Could it be that there's a culinary competition here?!"

Jiang Ranran's eyes had almost morphed into small stars. Right now, she was looking at Bei Feng with a fanatical gaze. In that instant, she had turned into a brain-dead fan of his.

"You think too much."

Bei Feng felt the corners of his mouth twitching. Culinary competition? This little lady's imagination was truly rich.

Shaking his head, he returned to the tent and laid down on his bed, leaving Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie standing outside awkwardly. They exchanged a glance and set up their own tents in the campsite as well. This night, they managed to get the soundest sleep they had in a long time.

On the morning of the next day, waves of buzz came from outside the camp, waking Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie from their sleep. Listening to the loud voices outside, the two felt like they were back in the city.

They hurriedly got up and kept their tents. The entire area was already covered in the soft glow of the morning sun.

Although it was sunny, the winter sun only lit up the Earth, but did not affect the temperature much.

Bei Feng awoke naturally as usual. As the place was packed with people, it was not suitable for him to practice the Minor Illumination Breathing Technique.

If someone saw the special phenomenon caused by his practice and word of his extraordinary cultivation technique was leaked, there would be countless people coming after him for it!

Unless he possessed strength capable of suppressing everything, he would eventually be surrounded and killed!

As long as the profit was big enough, there would be no lack of people willing to risk their lives!

After all, a large part of why Bei Feng was able to cultivate this fast was closely tied to the Minor Illumination Breathing Technique!

Now that cultivation resources had become scarce, the appearance of a cultivation technique that required little resources and allowed the cultivator to absorb energy directly from the ever-present sun was akin to the appearance of a divine technique! It was enough for people to risk their lives to obtain at all costs!

A cultivation technique like this was more than enough to found a large clan. That was the reason Bei Feng had instructed the Mystics so sternly to be careful and not be discovered using the technique!
