Greedy

Bi Fan slowly came close to Daniu; Daniu was very frightened and tried to stay back.

Daniu still couldn’t believe that people could actually return after being thrown into the Wan Snake Cave and Bi Fan also looked as if he had undergone several changes.

Bi Fan walked closer and said: “Daniu, you threw me into the Wan Snake Cave; you never thought that I would be able to come out of it. I was afraid and helpless, so I secretly vowed, that if I ever survive, I would get back at you, and make you suffer a hundred thousand times more than you made me suffer.”

“Now, finally I have managed to return, so today you will suffer the first installment of your penance.”

Bi Fan was frowning, and his eyes had fire in them.

Daniu could not retreat, he couldn’t move, as immense fear crippled him, all he could do was murmur: “Don’t punish me, it wasn’t me…… it wasn’t me…… Zhu San ordered us to make things difficult for you….”

Daniu’s pupils were dilated, his mouth wide open, he was frightened.

Bi Fan didn’t pay any regard to mercy; he walked directed towards Daniu, and pulled his arm.

“You pulled off my arm once; today I’ll break your limbs, so that you can sense the taste of disability.”

Bi Fan with all his agility, skill and technique, pulled at the Daniu’s limbs and dislocated them, one by one. He broke all but a few joints.

Daniu couldn’t scream as he fainted with the pain.

Bi Fan used the ancient Blood Devil technique, this technique could be used to break the wrong bones and tendons of the enemy as a means to torture them; in addition, it could also be used to control the enemy.

Bi Fan was able to fully utilize his skill for the first time, and backed with near ‘martial strength’, the results were amazing. Bi Fan was very satisfied.

He wasn’t done yet; Bi Fan splashed a bucket of water over Daniu, and woke him up.

“AH!……” Daniu woke, and immediately screamed out in pain.

Bi Fan picked up some dirt from the ground and stuffed it into Daniu’s mouth, so he couldn’t say anything.

Bi Fan had woken Daniu up, so that he could enjoy the taste of pain, as it grew stronger and stronger.

“Daniu, I’m not done with you yet, I’ll be back for you, you cannot die; I will not let you die. And you tell Zhu San, I will come to see him soon.” Bi Fan said with a smile on his face.

Bi Fan strode away, he could taste his revenge in Daniu’s muffled screams; he felt good.

Time was running out, so Bi Fan decided to go and pick up the supplies.

“Every half a year, there is a contest for practitioners who aren’t enrolled into martial art schools. If you win the contest, you become a disciple of the secret martial arts at Quinyang, and you can then learn from the masters and practice the sacred teachings, I also heard that the top ten also get Dan as a reward.”

“Unfortunately, I’m three years too old to participate, but you are just the right age. Grab this opportunity and fight in the tournament.”

“We are trying to practice, let’s hope for the best results.”

In six months, the Quinyang schools of martial arts will conduct their annual martial arts contest to sort and select the best martial artists from outside the schools, only the good fighters participate, and only the extraordinary ones are taken in as secret disciples and are trained in martial arts.

Under normal circumstances it is vital to practice the inner breath technique to become a disciple of the secret arts and sometimes one can also get in if they lose but manage to impress.

Outside practitioners, to put in bluntly are usually servants and slaves; fatigued, they are usually not capable of achieving the position.

These people keep arguing about becoming disciples of the secret arts.

 But once you become a disciple of the secret arts, you can practice the sacred teachings; your power and status see an enormous rise.

Moreover, once someone becomes a disciple of the secret arts, they receive Dan on a monthly basis which helps them achieve a stable physical state and growth.

Even though some practitioners like Zhu San behave aggressively, if they want to be accepted as a disciple, they would have to conduct themselves with high integrity.

Bi Fan couldn’t help as his heart raced at the thought. Moreover, six months was enough time for him to achieve the ‘martial strength’ status.

If Bi Fan could reach the ‘martial strength’ status, it would increase his chances of getting a pretty good rank; he could easily win some Dan and might even be accepted as a disciple.

Bi Fan quickly collected the supplies, two large bags.

Earlier, Bi Fan had seemed a little anxious, but now he was very relaxed, he could carry the bags with great ease.

Yunufeng was at a towering height, Bi Fan was able to mountaineer to the top with two large and heavy bags, this was an indication that Bi Fan was within the reach of “martial strength’, as most people would not be able to do the task.

Night had already fallen, by the time he completed the task.

Once he returned, he washed himself and began his homework.

“Bi Fan, you are progressing really fast, even with two large bags, you were able to return to the mountain before nightfall.” Xiaofeng told him in a surprised tone.

This she had said intentionally to encourage him as she realized that he might be close to ‘martial strength’.

Since Yan Yu Si had asked her to take proper care of Bi Fan, she would naturally not slack in her role, so this behavior was rather interesting.

Each day, Bi Fan was either doing an important task or taking care of the herbs, but in recent days, he had noticed that almost twenty three Panacea had gone missing.

As he checked the soil for marks, he became even more suspicious “It’s strange, it seems that a small animal comes during the night, and eats the Panacea.”

That night, even though Bi Fan hadn’t finished his homework, he stayed behind in the orchard to guard the herbs and get to the bottom of the situation.

Bi Fan held his breath, stood there motionless. It was quite late at night when he finally saw movement.

All he could hear was a ‘rustling’ sound the grass was making, and then suddenly, a white lightening flashed in the orchard.

Bi Fan with his night vision could see everything, very distinctly, then suddenly, a small animal like creature appeared in his view.

The small animal was slightly bigger than the size of a fist, covered in white from top to bottom but showed no signs of clothes.

It looked like a ferret, but also resembled a chinchilla in some ways; it had two beards that resembled the ones that dragons have.

It had big, cute, clever eyes.

“A Long Diao!” Bi Fan was shocked for a moment, he knew just enough about them to recognize one.

Long Diaos are said to have to same blood as dragons, adult Long Diaos are said to have the ability to fly; they are clever and like feeding on rich foods mixed with poison. They possess a lot of poison.

It had a pair of small and exquisite paws, quite adorable but sharp as a blade.

Bi Fan wanted to catch the Long Diao; Long Diaos should only be caught straight after their birth, so that they can be tamed.

He was extremely careful as he approached closer, and then pounced.

Long Diaos can be very quick; in an instant he sensed Bi Fan’s presence and dashed out of his way.

 But the Long Diao didn’t want to leave; he was now at some distance from Bi Fan. He looked at Bi Fan with his cute, watery eyes.

Obviously, the Long Diao was hungry and hadn’t had any food earlier, so he naturally didn’t want to leave.

If Bi Fan moved, the Long Diao moved. If Bi Fan remained stationary; the Long Diao also did the same.

Just one man against one Long Diao, it was turning into a stalemate to Bi Fan’s frustration. He would never be able to catch the Long Diao like this.

Suddenly, Bi Fan’s eyes lit up as an idea struck him. He pulled out a ginseng from the orchard and threw it at the Long Diao.

The Long Diao didn’t even get scared, but lashed, flying through the air and caught the ginseng in his mouth.

The Long Diao turned beautifully in the air and landed steadily on the ground. He didn’t even startle a single grain of sand.

The little creature still didn’t leave; his front paws were humane enough to hold the ginseng. He quickly ate it, like he was eating a giant carrot, making a ‘puchi’ sound.

After several bites, the Long Diao ate the ginseng clean and resumed looking at Bi Fan with a helpless look in his eyes.

Bi Fan Scoffed: “You’re really greedy, ah!, little guy.”

He again pulled out a ginseng and threw it towards the Long Diao. The garden had a lot of ginseng, so even if a few went missing, no one would notice.

The Long Diao with his elegant figure and movement, quickly grabbed the ginseng, and with the ginseng dangling in his hands, quickly left.

Bi Fan couldn’t even react, even in the night sky he couldn’t even see the white Long Diao, he wanted to chase after the Long Diao but he was no match for his speed.
