Animal Play
...Thinking back on this, Bi Changchun still feels a bit of amusement and exasperation. He had heard that Wen Lanfeng's Wen Lanfeng was profound and had long wanted to spar with him, but after hearing about Wen Lanfeng's infatuated behavior, he felt deeply ashamed and thought that no matter how high Wen Lanfeng's cultivation was, it couldn't be that high, and he wasn't worth his time. So he had never sought him out.
However, fate is unpredictable. Instead of seeking out Wen Lanfeng sought him out. Bi Changchun thought to himself that he had misunderstood him. This man must also be a remarkable figure standing at the pinnacle of the Cultivation World, as lonely as himself, seeking out masters from all over the world to spar with.
To his surprise, upon asking, he learned that this scoundrel Wen Lanfeng had actually come to challenge him because of a woman surnamed Lu's excuse, truly thinking he was something special. Bi Changchun was furious, and without saying a word, he grabbed Wen Lanfeng and gave him a sound beating, leaving Wen Lanfeng with no chance to fight back.
At this moment, Wen Lanfeng realized that this Number One Expert Under Heaven was far beyond his own so-called second-best; the difference in their strength was immense. Fortunately, at the critical moment when his life hung in the balance, Nong Zhu, who had some acquaintance with him, arrived after hearing the news and managed to save his life from Bi Changchun's clutches.
After letting Wen Lanfeng, Bi Changchun thought about it for a few days and became angrier the more he thought about it. That woman surnamed Lu in Lingfang Valley was too ignorant of her own limitations. She dared to use him as a shield for the mess she had made. She was simply courting death. So he drove to Lingfang Valley to Lu Yanqing.
In truth, Lu Yanqing hadn't expected Wen Lanfeng to actually dare to go after Bi Changchun, the undisputed Number One Expert Under Heaven in the Cultivation World! Who could rival him? And how many dared to cause trouble for Bi Changchun? She thought bringing up Bi Changchun would definitely scare Wen Lanfeng. However, the infatuated man's determination left her speechless.
After his defeat, Wen Lanfeng, heavily injured, arrived at Lingfang Valley. He bid farewell to Lu Yanqing with a sorrowful expression, saying he would return to her only after defeating Bi Changchun; otherwise, he would not see her again. He then dragged himself back home. After that, he truly never saw Lu Yanqing again. His departure was not a problem, but it startled Lu Yanqing. Bi Changchun was notoriously mad in the Cultivation World; he was always the one provoking others, and no one dared to provoke him. She feared that if Bi Changchun found out she had instigated Wen Lanfeng to challenge him to a duel, he would definitely not let her off the hook.
Sure enough, her guess was spot on. Not long after Wen Lanfeng left, Bi Changchun arrived in grand style. Good heavens! Those so-called experts from the Cultivation World who had come to Lingfang Valley to try and win her favor were all terrified and fled, fearing they would get into trouble. Their usual boasts of being willing to go through Mountain Foot Fire for her seemed utterly powerless the moment Bi Changchun arrived; not a single person could be found to speak up for her—they had all vanished.
Through this lesson, Lu Yanqing finally saw through the true colors of these men. In comparison, Wen Lanfeng was the one who made her feel gratified. Although his indecisive and lovestruck manner could not make him the man of her dreams, the fact that he dared to go and fight Bi Changchun over her excuse did touch her heart.
Even Wen Lanfeng was no match for Bi Changchun, Lu Yanqing knew she was no match for him either, so she simply admitted her mistake and let Bi Changchun deal with her as Bi Changchun saw fit. Just then, Nong Zhu, who had some connection with her and was like a timely rain, arrived and stopped Bi Changchun, praising Lu Yanqing's merit in saving countless lives. Finally, Bi Changchun showed mercy.
However, while she could escape the death penalty, she was not spared punishment. Despite Nong Zhu's repeated obstruction, Bi Changchun still forcibly crippled Lu Yanqing's cultivation of two hundred years, knocking her back from the mid Spirit Transformation stage to the early Spirit Transformation stage, a position she had only recently advanced in.
However, Lu Yanqing managed to save Mang Tiao's life, and the matter was thus resolved.
As Bi Changchun silently recalled the above events, Ziyi also repeated them, all of which she had heard from her master Nong Zhu.
Yue Qianchou clicked his tongue in amazement. This master was truly invincible, a force to be reckoned with. However, he also gleaned another clue from the conversation: Nong Zhu had extensive connections and friends all over the world, and there were people everywhere he rushed to rescue.
Yue Qianchou glanced at Ziyi and saw that she still had that drooling look of admiration for the number one beauty in Tianping. He rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "Do you even know what a beauty is?"
What intrigued Yue Qianchou was what the most beautiful woman in the world looked like, that so many knowledgeable cultivators from the Cultivation World would flock to her. He definitely wanted to see for himself someday.
Thinking of Nong Zhu had met and become acquainted with the most beautiful woman in the world, Yue Qianchou couldn't help but wonder. Judging from Nong Zhu's previous success with Immortal Qionghua, he was clearly very picky about women. Could it be that he had fallen for Lu Yanqing and dumped Immortal Qionghua? It was quite a possibility!
"Master, since you've already extended your lifespan by two hundred years, why do you still want to risk your life on that Eastern Pole Sacred Land?" Yue Qianchou asked. He thought of Nong Zhu going to Xuanxuan Island to invite the Ancestor Nanming, and then he remembered Bi Changchun's purpose in inviting the Ancestor Nanming to refine a treasure; he had already stated that he wanted to...
Bi Changchun turned back to look at him and smiled slightly, without offering any further explanation. He simply said, "You might as well postpone your trip to the various countries and take a look at the jade disc I gave you first. If you can fully understand what's inside, it will greatly benefit your future journey."
Upon hearing this, Yue Qianchou paused, then took out the jade disc again and infused it with his Divine Sense to examine it. The more he looked, the more confused he became. He didn't see any of the peerless profound techniques or Method Formula he had imagined. Instead, it was filled with birds and beasts—all sorts of birds and beasts, densely packed together, giving one a sense of dazzling abundance.
To put it bluntly, it was quite dazzling. However, next to each type of bird and beast was a written description, summarizing the movement patterns of those birds and beasts and then transforming them into action methods that could be learned by humans. Yue Qianchou looked at it over and over, and it seemed somewhat similar to some kind of martial art he had seen in his previous life, like the Tiger-Crane Double Form, but it was definitely not some kind of Method Formula. After withdrawing his Divine Sense, he asked with a face full of doubt, "Master, what kind of Method Formula is this? I don't understand it!"
The woman in Ziyi pouted slightly, as if to say, "Perhaps you're not talented enough. If you can't understand it, you might as well just give it to me."
"Cultivation level isn't something you're born with; it's all accumulated through practice. Your cultivation is shallow, and I can't help you reach the top in one step. However, while cultivation level is important in battle, it's definitely not the only factor that determines victory or defeat. Treasures, the mysteries of Method Formula, and the ability to adapt to the enemy are equally indispensable."
"You won't deny that?" Bi Changchun asked.
"Yes, I often win against stronger opponents thanks to the profound mysteries of my Method Formula," Yue Qianchou nodded. The Ziyi beside him was also listening attentively, not wanting to miss a single word, and nodded in agreement.
"As for the profound mysteries of Method Formula, the Water and Fire techniques are truly wondrous; almost no one in the world can surpass you. However, the improvement of your cultivation also requires your own diligent practice and accumulation. As for treasures, I have none on hand. The only thing I can pass on to you is the ability to adapt to enemy situations." Bi Changchun pointed to the jade cake in his hand and smiled faintly, "I have comprehended the mysteries of heaven and earth, and all my adaptability is embodied in the jade tablet in your hand."
Ziyi's eyes suddenly brightened, staring intently at the jade disc in Yue Qianchou's hand, almost as if she wanted to snatch it. Yue Qianchou glanced at the jade disc in his hand, opened his mouth, but really didn't know what to say. Was it really because his comprehension was too poor that he couldn't understand it?
Bi Changchun explained, "I have fought countless battles, and in my early years I often faced situations where the weak defeated the strong. I didn't rely on treasures, the mystery of Method Formula, or the depth of my cultivation, but on my strong adaptability. In battle, the key is to avoid a fatal blow. Victory is also achieved by delivering a fatal blow to the opponent in an impossible situation. This is the ability to adapt to the enemy."
"I understand everything Master said." Yue Qianchou held the jade disc in his hand and said in a low voice, "This, Master, are you sure you didn't take the wrong jade disc? It's full of birds and beasts."
"That's right!" Bi Changchun raised his head slightly and said, "The adaptability of birds and beasts in the world, which has been honed over time, is the best adaptability in the survival of the fittest. For example, the eagle's choice of the right time to attack a rabbit, that kind of extraordinary keen eyesight, is something that ordinary people cannot do. If you can become completely familiar with everything recorded in this jade disc, you will naturally discover its wonders. This is the culmination of my hundreds of years of hard work!"
Ziyi seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this. Although Yue Qianchou understood the meaning, he still felt it was somewhat nonsensical and didn't say anything more.
Seeing the lingering confusion in his expression, Bi Changchun enlightened him, saying, "Once you've mastered the technique, when facing an enemy, you'll find that even the most skilled opponent's moves will be riddled with flaws in your eyes, thanks to your keen perception. Regardless of whether you can win, attack, defend, or evade, you'll already have a 70% grasp of the situation. You must know that crucial moments are unpredictable; a slight error can lead to a huge mistake, often determining victory or defeat, life or death. Isn't being able to anticipate the enemy's moves enough to benefit you for a lifetime?"
"Damn! You should have said so earlier! With all this talk about eagles and rabbits, I thought you'd drawn up an animal world to teach me to protect wild animals!" Yue Qianchou, feigning sudden realization.
But to say he truly understood everything is debatable. What he did remember was that with enough practice, he could anticipate the enemy's moves, which would be incredibly powerful, especially in crucial moments. That would be extremely useful.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master." Yue Qianchou bowed respectfully with a joyful expression, then asked after rising, "May I ask what the name of this Method Formula you passed on to me, Master?"
Bi Changchun paused slightly, then thought for a moment and said, "It's not really a Method Formula; it's the first time I've summarized it, and it doesn't have a name yet. Since it comes from birds and beasts, let's call it 'Bird Play'!"
