Chapter 7: Eye of the Storm

(1)

Therefore, Feng immediately began a detailed study.

But after looking for a long time, no new discoveries were made.

Feng Yin wasn't discouraged by this, combining his various gaming experiences from past lives with various novel knowledge...

He quickly found reasons to convince himself.

It's easy to understand.

'It should be that the seal has just been opened, giving out the initial stage of foundational cultivation method, and not much has appeared, this is a reasonable situation.

The first appearance of this Spiritual Transformation Technique, there are two possibilities. First, the Spiritual Transformation Technique is the most important foundation of all laws. The second possibility is that... The Spiritual Transformation Technique is the most basic of them all...

But this world is a real world, not an online game. If I were this powerful being, I would also put the foundation of all laws first, because this is the only way to lay a solid foundation for the future.

So, if there's no accident... This Spiritual Transformation Technique is the most basic magic technique, but also the most awesome one, and only when the Spiritual Transformation Technique is practiced to a certain level, will a new magic technique appear. And new magic techniques should be able to help.'

Feng Yin quickly confirmed this.

'So, this Dao Classics, should be regarded as the general outline of magic techniques? Or should it be called a general term.

And Dao Classics, it should be the embodiment of the small knife. Or say that it takes advantage of the small knife to exist.

As for the knife, if I'm not guessing wrong, there's a big possibility it's a weapon. Or a layer of the physical body.

If Dao Classics are considered the general term for magic techniques, it shouldn't inherently possess the ability to devour. If that's really the case, then the only possibility left... is that the little knife devoured the three King Rank Demon Beasts' Spiritual Pearls.

In other words, the one that's developing is the little knife.

The little knife is the one that really needs the Spiritual Pearl.

Since the old knife spat out the magic techniques, it hasn't moved at all... does that mean that the little knife possesses spiritual wisdom, or could there be other mysteries to it?

Of course, it could also be that my cultivation is too low, not enough to stimulate more functions of the Dao Classics or the small knife!

All these require time to verify.'

Feng Yin sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly unwinding the mystery step by step.

All his intellectual brilliance was spent on this.

'But regardless, to enhance the fundamentals of my Spiritual Transformation Technique, I still need to return to cultivation... I believe that as I continuously use the Spiritual Transformation Technique, with each passing day, improvements will naturally come.

My current direction of cultivation is to make progress with increasing cultivation, unlocking new seals, obtaining new benefits, or new methods of Dao Classics...'

Feng Yin touched the empty rope, feeling that he had basically found the right direction.

'But if I want the knife to advance or help me, I need to use the Spiritual Pearl or other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures...'

After thinking about all this, Feng Yin felt he had basically sorted things out, but more troublesome matters came along with it.

While the direction has been determined, the problem comes next.

'So the Spiritual Pearl is the urgent necessity, but this thing is the essence condensation that only Demon Beasts can possess; the Demons may have it too, but although the Demons, Fairy Demons, and Demon Beasts all contain the word 'demon', there are many differences between them, and they may not all be able to withstand it.

Besides, can I handle any of the Demon Beasts that can possess a Spiritual Pearl?

If I go hunting Demon Beasts right now for the Spiritual Pearl, I'd just be delivering food to the Demon Beasts... With my small size, could I even contend with those kinds of Demon Beasts, would my meat even be worth a try, would it be enough to fill a tooth gap?

Alas, it's a quandary...

And there's also the cultivation of the Spiritual Transformation Technique, the first level of Spirit Gathering... what kind of animal is needed to gather spiritual wisdom?'

Feng Yin looked at the half-palm-sized creature in his arms, breathing lightly, and a feeling of wanting to cry but having no tears surfaced.

'Is it possible that I have to use this little thing to cultivate the Spiritual Transformation Technique? Enlighten this little thing again and again?

Hey, that might actually work.

Not to mention whether it's feasible or not, wouldn't that make me a full-time dad?

Poor me, who has remained pure and untouched in both my past and current lives, why did I become a dad when I came to this new world? I simply can't figure out the answer to this question...'

Feng Yin touched a part of himself that still felt somewhat numb, feeling complicated for a moment.

So... this is what it feels like...

"But whatever the case, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and I must start with the Spiritual Transformation Technique!"

So many loose ends, Feng Yin felt he had determined the initial lead.

First pull it out, put it into action, and then talk about the rest.

'My first, is to favor this little thing!'

Feng Yin pointed at the swaddling clothes in his arms, but couldn't help thinking of the little thing's mother.

"You know, your mom is so beautiful, little guy. When you grow up, will you... I suddenly have a very shameful thought...

...

As night deepened, no, it seemed to be almost dawn.

Only then did Feng Yin finally leave the little thing and hurry to take a bath...

He really had to bathe, his body odor was almost as bad as a public toilet on the side of the road…

The little one was still asleep and had not opened her eyes yet, but her nose had already wrinkled up, her face full of distaste...

There was a knock on the door.

The voice of Xu the Fourth came across somewhat nervously: "Sir..."

The voice was not only faint but also seemed fraught with fear.

Feng Yin wrapped his body in his big robe and looked towards the sound.

Xu the Fourth was very careful, peeking out half of his head from the door crack, his eyes filled with shock and fear.

"It's all over, right...?"

"It's been over for a while."

"That's good, that's good..." Xu the Fourth sounded as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

"A master is indeed a master... I just inquired carefully, the whole town, not to mention speaking or panting heavily, I guess there isn't even a single person daring to fart..."

Xu the Third was still shaken by the past events: "It was so scary... Earlier, boss released gas by forcibly spreading his buttocks, trying for a silent operation... It stank me out... The truth of the saying that silent farts are stinky, and loud farts are not stinky, has been confirmed by this incident."

Feng Yin sighed: "Did you come out just to tell me this?"

"How could that be..."

Xu the Fourth chuckled: "Sir, do you know who were those folks fighting just now?"

"Who?"

"We don't know about the girl, but she is likely from the Greater Demons... As for the man, he is a top figure on our Anping Continent."

Xu the Fourth had infinite respect and admiration in his eyes: "He is the Purple Emperor of Great Yan! The great Purple Emperor!"

"The Purple Emperor? Who is he?" Feng Yin scratched his head.

"Be quiet... lower your voice..." Xu the Fourth was extremely nervous, sticking his neck out, anxiously looking around.

"The Purple Emperor... He is a top figure of our time, on par with Qing Ming, a celestial figure of our Anping Continent... He usually doesn't make appearances, yet now he unexpectedly appeared here. The other party must absolutely be a super evil creature."

"Oh? Who else is at the peak of your known, celestial figures besides Qing Ming and the Purple Emperor?" Feng Yin was very interested in this topic.

"Who dares to recklessly talk about it?"

Xu the Fourth shrunk his neck: "With the great figures not around, who dares to babble about them casually? That would be a big taboo, one can never know when they may just have a hunch, and send a flying sword across thousands of miles to kill. It may not just be a legend, today's events lend credibility to the legends about these great figures; perhaps they aren't legends but reality."

He looked at Feng Yin, and reminded him earnestly, "Sir, with your magic healing hands, you naturally are a good person who helps those in need. However, now that the Purple Emperor has appeared here, this place may become an epicenter of turbulence... Sir should keep in mind, troubles usually come from the mouth."

"Hmm? You are saying even talking about it isn't allowed?"

"Yes, talking about it is also prohibited!"

Xu the Fourth said earnestly.

Feng Yin had known about these taboos for a long time. After ten years of honing his skills, he knew more about the legends of famous people in this world than what Xu the Fourth did. But to maintain his image, he had to talk more, showing his 'country bumpkin' naivety.

Disregarding the strong is a sin!

Discussing the strong recklessly is a sin!

After all, their achievements are known to the world, they aren't meant to be casually discussed by an ignorant person like you.

Especially Qing Ming and Purple Emperor, they are the common idols of all martial artists across the continent.

Even disputes can occur over who among several strong figures is stronger, leading to fights, which is quite common.

This kind of thing is truly too common.

If a small thug hears about the feats of the powerful figures and casually comments on it, he might be killed instantly by someone who finds offense: Is someone like you, a small punk, eligible to speak about such figures?

Maybe he would die without knowing why, I just casually commented, and I am dead?!

Xu the Fourth reckoned since he was part of the jianghu community, it was necessary for him to remind Feng Yin... because currently, both brothers were recovering in the medical clinic, and if Feng Yin caused trouble, they wouldn't escape either, it would be like two grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

So the brothers discussed and decided that it would be better to take precautions.

They absolutely must not let this naive doctor offend someone with his careless words... If they get implicated and die because of that, won't they die with eyes wide open.

...

Xu the Fourth was not wrong at all.

Just as dawn was breaking, the entire town began to show a completely different atmosphere than before.

The air was filled with a murderous aura.

The wind roared, and in the distance, huge clouds of dust were being raised one after another.

Those were the signs of elite troops moving out.

From all sides, they were all gathering here.

In the sky, people were constantly landing.

In no time, there were many more aggressive faces in the streets of the town, each with a fierce appearance, moving agilely.

...
