Lesser Fate Technique
"Brother Feng, I don't see anything special about this kid. Besides, he's someone who steals other people's martial arts techniques. Why are you suddenly interested in him?"
The Golden-Winged Eagle King asked with a curious expression.
Chu Feng waved his folding fan and said, "Because his luck is no less than Paopao's, and may even be slightly stronger."
Upon hearing this Golden-Winged Eagle King and Bing Yan immediately became interested in the little guy named Fang Mu.
Bing Yan parted her pearly teeth slightly. "Then what kind of martial arts technique does the gentleman intend to teach him?"
"Have no idea."
Chu Feng explained, "When he comes to find me, I'll consider what cultivation technique to teach him."
Upon hearing this, Bing Yan and the Golden-Winged Eagle King stopped asking questions. The former began tidying up their quarters, while the latter took out a pot of wine and had a small drink.
The following afternoon.
Chu Feng was chatting with the Golden-Winged Eagle King in the courtyard when a sudden knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
Thump, thump, thump...
Upon hearing the sound, Chu Feng casually pointed towards the door, opening it to reveal Fang Mu already standing there.
"Come in."
Fang Mu nodded and walked into the courtyard, bowing respectfully to Chu Feng: "Senior, I have made up my mind. Please grant me the cultivation technique to change my destiny."
"Changing one's destiny, that's interesting."
Chu Feng's lips curled up slightly. "Do you know that fate is determined by heaven? Everyone's destiny is predetermined from the moment they are born."
Fang Mu's expression changed slightly after hearing this, and a chill ran through him. But he quickly realized that if he was only fit to be a servant in this life, how could he possibly have encountered such a powerful senior?
"Senior, I believe that human will can overcome nature."
Chu Feng smiled and said, "It's rare to find someone with such ambition. However, taking control of one's own destiny is no easy task. Let me think about what kind of cultivation method I should teach you. Come back in seven days."
???
Fang Mu was clearly stunned. He had come full of joy to find the cultivation technique, but he never expected to get such a result.
This is a test, surely a test from my seniors, to see if my will is strong enough.
He immediately snapped out of his daze, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chu Feng, Fist Dao, "This junior takes his leave."
"Um."
Chu Feng responded and then took a sip of tea, watching Fang Mu leave.
"I will go into seclusion for a few days. Do not disturb me unless it is urgent."
"Promise."
Bing Yan and the Golden-Winged Eagle King responded.
Chu Feng entered a room with a desk, took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began grinding ink. At the same time, he was thinking about what kind of cultivation technique he should teach Fang Mu.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Chu Feng would occasionally sip some tea to refresh himself, and he sat there for a whole day and night.
Looking at the rising sun in the sky, something suddenly came to mind, and he picked up a pen and wrote the four characters "Lesser Fate Technique" on the paper.
Just as Chu Feng was about to continue writing, he discovered that he was unable to write the content of the Lesser Fate Technique.
"Could it be that this method is too ingenious to be described in ordinary writing?"
After muttering a phrase, he began to write down the contents using the True Essence of the Great Dao. Soon, the first character appeared, but it turned into a strange symbol.
Chu Feng had seen these symbols in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute's collection of books; they were Dao Script, and each character contained the True Essence of the Great Dao.
He had previously asked his cheap master how to write Dao Script, and the old man gave a vague answer.
When you comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao, you will be able to write this Dao Script.
Now Chu Feng finally understood. It seemed that his cultivation level was too low, and even if he memorized many things, he couldn't comprehend them.
Chu Feng continued writing, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
After finishing writing, Chu Feng felt that his understanding of the Great Dao had deepened. He subconsciously glanced at his attribute panel, where the True Essence of the Great Dao had increased from 66 to 68.
"This is truly an unexpected delight!"
Chu Feng smiled and put the scroll away. However, he knew that the boy might not be able to comprehend this technique alone, so he would need to provide him with other cultivation methods.
After he picked up the pen, he abandoned the plan. The Lesser Fate Technique was a supernatural method that consumed lifespan but could grant other supernatural abilities.
Teaching Fang Mu other techniques might not enable him to comprehend this supernatural power; it would be better to teach him a copy of the Dao De Jing to enhance his understanding.
Chu Feng then picked up his pen and wrote on the paper, "The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, and achieve harmony through the interaction of these two forces."
It was already night when Chu Feng finished writing a chapter of the Dao De Jing.
He tidied himself up before heading out.
When Bing Yan and the Golden-Winged Eagle King saw Chu Feng come out of the house, they both came to greet him.
The Golden-Winged Eagle King asked with a curious expression, "Brother, could you let me see for myself first?"
Chu Feng rolled his eyes at this shameless guy.
Don't bother looking, you won't learn it even if you do.
Bing Yan seemed to have anticipated this scene, and the corners of her mouth under her veil turned up slightly.
Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Eagle King immediately became anxious. "Don't look down on me! I am a divine beast with a trace of the ancient Phoenix Ancestor's bloodline. In terms of talent, I am no less than anyone else. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to call the Dean my godfather for so many years."
"It's that trace of ancient Phoenix Ancestor blood that gave you your courage."
Chu Feng glanced at the guy with some surprise. "Too bad, I'm not falling for that."
"..."
The Golden-Winged Eagle King thought to himself: This kid is completely unyielding!
"Fine, fine. Anyway, that kid's coming in two days. I'll definitely give your technique a piece of my mind then."
Chu Feng smiled and didn't say much, he just stretched.
The seven-day period has ended.
After completing his mission at the Prince's mansion that day, Fang Mu quietly slipped out through the dog hole at the back gate and headed towards the villa where his senior resided.
Thinking that he could obtain the supreme cultivation technique, he subconsciously quickened his pace.
Half an hour later, Fang Mu finally saw the familiar courtyard.
He stepped forward, calmed his breathing, and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
"Enter."
As Chu Feng's familiar voice rang out, the door creaked open.
In the courtyard, Chu Feng sat in a wicker chair, squinting as he basked in the sunlight.
Fang Mu strode forward and knelt down with a thud. "Please, Master, bestow your teachings."
"Today, I will first bestow upon you two scrolls of cultivation methods. One scroll will help you enhance your comprehension and comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and the other scroll will help you cultivate supreme supernatural powers."
Chu Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like Jinglei to the two people and the eagle present.
The Golden-Winged Eagle King was the first to lose his composure. "Brother, no, Godfather, you actually possess supernatural powers?"
Snap!
Chu Feng slapped the Golden-Winged Eagle King on the head with his folding fan and said angrily, "How many times have I told you not to call me godfather? Are you trying to kill me?"
"Young master, I was too excited."
Suppressing his inner shock, the Golden-Winged Eagle King put on a fawning smile.
Bing Yan didn't speak, but her beautiful eyes revealed shock. As an elder of the Dao-Seeking Academy, she naturally knew what supernatural powers meant.
Although Fang Mu didn't know what kind of cultivation technique his master was going to bestow upon him, seeing how excited the eagle senior was, he felt it must be very powerful. He then bowed and said, "Disciple thanks Master."
No need for formalities.
Chu Feng reached out and helped him up, saying, "You haven't officially become my disciple yet; you're only a nominal one. If you can't learn this divine ability within ten years, then it means you're not destined to be with me. Now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the storage ring in his hand glowed slightly, and two scrolls flew towards Fang Mu...
