The Carefree Jing Feng

Chapter Twelve: The Romantic Jing Feng

Bi Fan ordered a plate of beef, a few side dishes, and a pot of good wine.

The Eight Treasures Gourd contained quite a bit of good wine, and under its influence, Bi Fan had become somewhat addicted to the drink.

However, all the wine in the gourd was spirit wine, with potent medicinal and alcoholic effects. Bi Fan would get drunk just by smelling it.

As soon as Bi Fan started eating, the Gluttonous Sable poked its head out from his chest.

"Whoa!" the people at Bi Fan's table exclaimed in surprise. "It's a young Dragon Sable!"

"Big brother, you know Dragon Sables? This little guy is the most gluttonous," Bi Fan said with a smile.

From childhood to adulthood, Bi Fan hadn't had many friends. He was actually quite talkative, but he usually pretended to be dull-witted.

Now that someone had initiated a conversation, Bi Fan wanted to chat a bit more.

"Squeak squeak!" The Dragon Sable jumped onto Bi Fan's shoulder, protesting.

"Little brother, my name is Jing Feng. Could you sell me your Dragon Sable?" the young man asked kindly.

Bi Fan shook his head. "Brother Jing Feng, the Gluttonous Sable is my friend. I won't sell him."

"I won't force you if you don't want to sell. Seeing your good cultivation, you must be a disciple of the Qingyang Sect. I am Jing Feng, an Inner Disciple of the Qingyang Sect. If you need anything in the future, you can find me," Jing Feng said, fanning himself lightly.

"My name is Bi Fan, an Outer Disciple of the Qingyang Sect," Bi Fan said excitedly.

He had already considered Jing Feng his first friend. No one had ever been so friendly to him before.

Of course, Jing Feng didn't consider Bi Fan a friend. He just didn't want to give up on the Dragon Sable.

The Dragon Sable looked very appealing, a surefire way to impress girls. Jing Feng didn't have many hobbies besides chasing women.

Jing Feng did have a good point, though: he didn't like to snatch things from others. His common saying was, "A gentleman does not take what others desire," but in reality, he had "hooked up" with plenty of other people's women.

Jing Feng stopped talking to Bi Fan, his eyes occasionally glancing at the Dragon Sable.

Bi Fan was quite hungry and ate quickly, wolfing down his food.

The Dragon Sable didn't like these things, except for the wine. Bi Fan gave it a small cup, and the Dragon Sable got a little dizzy, shaking its head and swaying, looking incredibly cute.

Seeing the Dragon Sable's adorable appearance, Jing Feng liked it even more, contemplating how he could get his hands on it.

Jing Feng firmly believed that nothing in the world was not for sale, it was just a matter of reaching the right price.

"Little brother Bi Fan, you're going down the mountain for something important, aren't you?" Jing Feng started the conversation again.

Bi Fan replied, "Nothing important. I'm just going to Qingyang Town to buy some daily necessities."

"Oh? Are you interested in visiting Tingfeng Valley?" Jing Feng asked.

Bi Fan didn't know where Tingfeng Valley was or what it was for.

Jing Feng then explained that Tingfeng Valley was a place for cultivators to trade.

Tingfeng Valley was a thousand miles away from Qingyang Mountain, the closest trading post. Many cultivators from various sects went there to trade, and rogue cultivators also brought treasures to exchange for what they needed. It was always bustling with activity.

Bi Fan was greatly tempted. He really wanted to see it, but thinking of the medicinal garden on Jade Maiden Peak, he hesitated.

Jing Feng chuckled, "Brother Bi Fan, don't worry. I have a few Divine Speed Talismans. We can go and come back quickly, it will only take two or three days."

"Are there really such magical talismans as Divine Speed Talismans?" Bi Fan asked in surprise.

"Of course." Jing Feng took out two Divine Speed Talismans and handed them to Bi Fan. "These are for you. Let's travel together and see what it's like."

Bi Fan took the Divine Speed Talismans, feeling a little smug because he discovered he also had a few Divine Speed Talismans in his Cosmic Bag, though he couldn't distinguish them.

Unable to resist Jing Feng's temptation, Bi Fan finally agreed to go to Tingfeng Valley with him.

"Great! I won't be so bored anymore. We'll set off early tomorrow morning," Jing Feng said happily.

Jing Feng's gaze remained fixed on the Dragon Sable, his mind still scheming on how to make Bi Fan give it up.

After dinner, Bi Fan went out and bought all the items he needed.

Then, Bi Fan returned to his room, cultivated for a while, and began to study three secret manuals.

The Qingyang Willow Catkin Sword Art was a top-tier secret manual of the Qingyang Sect, only taught to core disciples. Bi Fan couldn't cultivate it yet.

However, Bi Fan still read it carefully, imprinting the Qingyang Willow Catkin Sword Art into his mind.

Misty Dance was a movement technique cultivation manual. Bi Fan read it once and barely remembered it. However, Misty Dance was incredibly profound and far beyond what Bi Fan could comprehend at the moment.

Still, Misty Dance contained some simple dodging and shifting techniques, which served as a foundation for Misty Dance. Bi Fan could practice these and kept them firmly in mind.

Afterward, Bi Fan took out the Carefree Art and read it.

Bi Fan was shocked. The Carefree Art included methods for cultivating Inner Breath and spiritual energy, as well as many martial skills. Even with Inner Breath cultivated, it was difficult to practice.

The martial skills in the Carefree Art could basically only be unleashed by strong cultivators in the Mortal Transformation Realm. The method for cultivating Inner Breath also required Spiritual Wisdom level. Bi Fan had to set it aside for now.

Bi Fan could barely learn the first move, Carefree Immortal Finger. Carefree Immortal Finger involved condensing Inner Breath into a single line to attack the enemy, making it unpredictable and immensely powerful.

With all three secret manuals memorized, Bi Fan began to cultivate.

First, Bi Fan practiced the basic footwork of Misty Dance several times. He found these basic footwork techniques to be extremely exquisite and useful in combat. He practiced them several more times until he could use them with ease.

Of course, the basic footwork of Misty Dance required long-term practice to reach perfection and lay a solid foundation for Misty Dance.

Afterward, Bi Fan began to cultivate the Carefree Immortal Finger. The Carefree Immortal Finger primarily involves condensing Inner Breath and then shooting it out from the fingertips to kill enemies invisibly.

However, Inner Breath could only unleash one-tenth of the Carefree Immortal Finger's power at most. Once spiritual power was cultivated, the Carefree Immortal Finger's power would increase tenfold.

Bi Fan only finished cultivating at dawn. Unfortunately, he hadn't succeeded in cultivating the Carefree Immortal Finger yet; he still couldn't shoot Inner Breath out to kill enemies.

Bi Fan tidied himself up and walked out of the room. Jing Feng was already waiting in the hall.

Jing Feng smiled and walked over, saying, "Brother Bi Fan, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come quickly and eat with me, then we'll set off immediately."

His eyes were fixed on a lump protruding from Bi Fan's chest, where the Dragon Sable was sleeping in.

The two ate quickly. After Jing Feng paid the bill, they set off.

Jing Feng taught Bi Fan the method of using the Divine Speed Talisman, and then they both used the Divine Speed Talisman simultaneously, heading towards Tingfeng Valley.

After using the Divine Speed Talisman, Bi Fan only felt a gust of wind in his legs, his speed incredibly fast.

Bi Fan followed behind Jing Feng, the wind whistling past his ears, the scenery on both sides flashing by in reverse.

Jing Feng laughed, "Little Brother Bi Fan, how's the speed? Exciting, right?"

He held a feather fan the whole time, occasionally opening it, his movements elegant.

Bi Fan scoffed at Jing Feng's affected mannerisms, but he didn't notice. Ever since cultivating the Carefree Immortal Finger last night, he had a habit of making various finger movements, like swatting flies or wiping his nose. He especially liked to stroke his chin, where he hadn't even grown a beard yet.

Like lightning, time flew by.

"Brother Bi Fan, we're almost at Tingfeng Valley. We have to stop here and walk in slowly, or we'll be attacked." Jing Feng had clearly been here before.

Bi Fan quickly stopped and looked around, not finding anything unusual, not even a single person.

Is Jing Feng trying to trick me? Does he want to snatch the Dragon Sable?

Bi Fan was filled with caution, extremely wary.
