Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 169: Reishi King!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

After eating his fill, Bei Feng opened the windows and lay on the bed. He did not do anything else except staring at the ceiling and listening to the unceasing stream of traffic and people. After a while, he drifted into sleep.

That one sleep actually lasted for an entire day!

"Haaa!"

Bei Feng rubbed his eyes lightly and yawned loudly as he stretched his lethargic body. His spirit was reinvigorated, and his mind was much fresher after a good sleep.

From the clock on the wall, it was 6.50 am. Bei Feng changed into the clothes that the hotel service bought for him. He allowed his hair to fall carelessly onto his back, and left the room.

After a hearty breakfast, he prepared to head towards the Great Canyon of Yarlung Tsangpo.

In Tibetan language, Linzhi means Throne of the Sun. It refers to the place from which the sun rises. It is located in the autonomous southeastern region of Tibet, averaging about 3,100 meters above sea level!

The climate here was pleasant, and not as cold as other parts of Tibet. The daytime here was also longer. Although it was still snowing, the cold was not as bitter, and did not cause people to feel dread.

Everywhere Bei Feng went, people would quickly scoot aside, giving him as wide a berth as possible. Right now, his looks were truly terrifying. Judging by the hideous scars on his face, it seemed obvious that he was not a good person with just a glance.

After his wounds healed, the flesh which grew over it had been swollen and raised, causing them to look like fat, nasty centipedes.

Bei Feng boarded the bus towards the Great Canyon of Yarlung Tsangpo. He chose a seat beside the window and gazed outwards as he contemplated the local conditions and customs of this place.

From time to time, he could see numerous esteemed Lamas walking through the streets. Their faces carried neither joy nor sorrow, and were filled with solemness and serenity. [1]

Although the distance was not far, the journey was not an easy one. The road was filled with twisting mountainous roads, and it took over two hours for them to arrive.

He bought an entrance ticket costing a full 270 yuan. This was Bei Feng's final stop.

Having come to Linzhi, how could he not pay a visit to the greatest geographical discovery of the last century?

The canyon cut its way through the Himalayan mountain range, gushing into the Great Canyon of Yarlung Tsangpo on the southeast slope of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Known as the biggest, longest, and deepest canyon in the world, the Great Canyon of Yarlung Tsangpo has an average depth of 5,000 meters, with its deepest part being 5382 meters! It stretches from the head of the canyon all the way to the borders of Pasighat, measuring 496.3 kilometers in length!

The glaciers, cliffs, steep slopes, and debris-filled rapid rivers flowing in the entire canyon region were all intertwined together to form an extremely treacherous environment. The place was so perilous that much of it was still deserted and inaccessible to humans. To date, the place remained one of Earth's last unexplored regions!

Bei Feng got off the bus in a leisurely manner. He did not have any luggage on him, causing him to stand out quite a bit from the other passengers.

"Yi?"

Not far from Bei Feng, a stunningly beautiful girl gasped aloud.

The girl's appearance was akin to the description of River Goddess Luo in the rhapsody Luoshenfu. She was like an ice sculpture and jade carving, dreamy and illusory, delicate and charming beyond compare. Her appearance seemed to even exceed that of the fabled great Chinese beauty, Xizi!

She looked lucid and elegant, as clean as ice and as pure as jade, like a fairy from a painting, standing far above the mundane crowd.

Her demeanor was like she was shining with a subdued pinkish hue like light morning clouds, and the luster of her skin was like jade, akin to a heavenly fairy.

Her poise was like a beautiful orchid, resplendent and alluring, giving one an unforgettable impression!

An elegant snow white fur coat was put on her slender frame, complementing her looks, causing her to shine even more brilliantly! Every male who walked past had their eyes stuck to her, but the group of people surrounding her caused them to hesitate, not daring to approach.

"What's wrong, Little Sister?"

Another heaven-defying beauty whose looks did not pale in comparison to the girl walked over. The two beauties seemed to have been cast from the same mold in terms of appearance, but their temperaments were vastly different, just like the snow lotuses on the heavenly mountains!

"It's nothing... I thought I saw someone familiar just now."

Wang Yuyan hesitated for a moment. By the time she turned her head and looked over, that person had already disappeared among the crowd.

"Oh, then let's get moving. The Reishi King is about to appear this time, and we must obtain it no matter what."

Wang Yudie's bearing was like an aloof fairy far detached from the mundane matters of mortals. Only when she was before this little sister of hers would she demonstrate her patient side. With that, the group quickly departed from the place.

"Why are there so many martial practitioners gathered here?"

Bei Feng frowned slightly as he looked around. The bountiful blood and Qi of these people created an aura which stood out like bright lamps among tiny fireflies. It was extremely eye catching for Bei Feng.

Bei Feng acted in a nonchalant manner and passed by a few of them. These people were dressed like normal civilians, but they could not escape Bei Feng's perception. Evidently, they were all powerful martial practitioners.

"Senior Brother Ma, the appearance of the Reishi King had drawn so many people! Just now, I even saw people from the Mo family and the Hua family!"

A man lowered his voice and looked towards a taller man as he said.

"This is only the beginning. Watch and see, my guess is that all the large family, clans, and organizations within a thousand kilometers of this place will soon swarm over as well!" Ma Dao Zhu said. The appearance of the Reishi King had already spread into the ears of countless people, and the people here now were just from those powers who happened to be in closer proximity with the place. After just one more day, that would be the real party!

Of course, the efficacy of the Reishi King was more than enough to warrant this crazy interest. Numerous Evolved Jing experts from all sorts of influential powers had already arrived at the canyon. Ma Dao Zhu and the rest had only been sent over to increase the odds of finding the Reishi King.

"Reishi King... ah, if we could obtain one, it will be enough to breakthrough to an Evolved Jing master on the spot!" Li Zhi beamed as his eyes glistened with desire.

"The Reishi King is not something that's used to breakthrough to Evolved Jing master. That's too much of a waste! Its true worth lies in that it can increase the chances of breaking through to Xiantian Realm by thirty percent!"

Mao Dao Zhu's heart was filled with envy as he thought of that glorious realm. What does Xiantian mean? It means a person who is above all other humans! A single person who is equivalent to an overlord!

No matter which power they join, they would be welcomed as an esteemed guest! In an era where there were no hot weapons, they were akin to a one-man army, capable of crushing a thousand soldiers by themselves!

"Alright, let's hurry up and move. Once we find this Reishi King and bring it back for master, and his aged self is able to achieve a breakthrough to Xiantian realm, our status will naturally rise like how a ship rises with the tide!"

Ma Dao Zhu beckoned at the rest and the group quickly proceeded.

As for Bei Feng who was standing nearby, he had also managed to overhear the important details. 'Reish King? Interesting... unfortunately, the seal on my body has not dissipated yet. Otherwise, I could stick a foot in the matter as well.'

Bei Feng shook his head and walked off. Right now, he was a person who did not have the capital to involve himself with matters of this scale. Now that his arrogance had been shaved off, he simply continued to follow behind the crowd honestly and walked into the canyon like other tourists.

The wide river flowed endlessly, its destination unfathomable. Bei Feng gradually squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the front. Then, he continued towards the deeper parts of the canyon.

This trip to the canyon was an additional activity added on the fly because he'd misjudged the timing for the release of the seal. From the very start, he had never intended to follow this group of tourists all the way!

After the intense tempering for the past few months, Bei Feng's movements were obviously much improved from when his blood and Qi was first sealed. At the very least, his physical capabilities were now more refined and stronger than most normal people.

This was a result he'd obtained from his training after his powers were sealed, so the newfound strength was not affected by the seal at all.

But, at the same time, his body had sustained countless latent injuries within these past three months in exchange for the new strength. If it was another regular person, that person would probably spend the latter part of his life paralyzed with illnesses and other problems. Whenever the weather got cold or wet, they would feel all sorts of pain throughout their body.

Of course, Bei Feng did not have to worry about something like that. Once the seal on his body was released, his bountiful blood and Qi would quickly wash away all those latent problems. Even the most stubborn hidden injuries could be easily cured just by eating the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat everyday!

At the bottom of the canyon, there were numerous local farmers hawking their famous local produce under the sun. Their tanned and wrinkled faces held the most honest and frank smiles.

Although Tibet had entered a period of development, the people here still lived a very simple life. The goods they were hawking was also sold at an extremely low price.

Bei Feng observed the sea of faces in silence. There was a myriad of faces in this simple place; some were happy, some were troubled, and some were filled with the original joy of simplicity. This was the human race! A single type of grain had sustained a hundred types of people!
