Mu Jinyu naturally understood the effects of the Blood Ganoderma, so he used it as an excuse to cover up the truth about the ferocious beasts' mutiny.
After all, the Divine Dragon Blood was of great importance, and he couldn't casually explain it to them.
If he didn't find an excuse, they probably wouldn't let it go and might even end up resenting him.
After all, the village chief of Xiaolin Village and Grand Master Ji were quite good to him, and he didn't want to create tension in Xiaolin Village.
"Blood Ganoderma, huh..."
The Old Village Chief was also eating roasted meat to replenish his depleted Qi and Blood. Hearing Mu Jinyu's conversation with others, he vaguely felt that the truth of the matter might not be as stated!
After all, he knew that Mu Jinyu should be practicing the "Blood Tempering Method" in that cave, at least for several days. If he had discovered the Blood Ganoderma, it should have been discovered earlier, not just when the "Blood Tempering Method" was completed.
However, even if he suspected Mu Jinyu was hiding something, the Old Village Chief said nothing more, much less revealing Mu Jinyu's secret.
"Come, eat the roasted meat, fill your belly first!"
At this moment, Elder Ji handed out the almost perfectly roasted meat to everyone, cheerfully inviting them.
So, no one continued to regretfully sigh and instead took the roasted meat, eating it without much enthusiasm.
Mu Jinyu no longer cared about these matters and continued to devour the roasted meat while operating the "Blood Tempering Method" to transform it into surging Qi and Blood, replenishing his slightly deficient body and converting some of it into Blood Essence!
As the Blood Essence in his body gradually increased, Mu Jinyu roughly estimated that his current cultivation should have reached around the level of Energy Transformation!
Although very low and even much lower than the Divine Transformation Realm cultivation he had after recuperating in Canglan Realm, Mu Jinyu felt a warmth throughout his body, unprecedentedly comfortable.
This further solidified for him that the Humanity Path Cultivation Path was definitely not inferior to absorbing nature's spiritual energy or the Path of Foreign Bloodlines!
This path was indeed very suitable for him!
A meal that lasted from noon until the evening.
"Come, this is monster race remnant meat soup, it's finally ready, everyone come and have a taste, this meat soup will definitely help enhance the bloodline power within all of you!"
At this point, as everyone was almost done with the roasted meat and preparing to leave, the meat soup of the monster race remnant was finally ready, and each person was given a bowl as a dessert after the meal!
Mu Jinyu, having eaten all day, was basically not hungry and even slightly full, but upon seeing the meat soup of the monster race remnant cooked, it radiated a brilliant glow and divine splendor, with endless essence of blood and flesh, making him feel that after drinking this bowl of soup, he should be able to advance his cultivation into the Divine Transformation Realm!
So he queued up for the soup!
And when it was finally his turn.
Old Li, who was in charge of making the soup and serving it, directly put on a cold face and frowned, "Why are you lining up for soup? You're just a pureblooded human, can't enhance your bloodline power. You've already wasted a Blood Ganoderma, and now you want to waste a bowl of monster race remnant nourishing soup?"
"You've eaten so much fierce beast meat today that could have fed our village for a month, maybe you should stop wasting food!"
Most villagers of Xiaolin Village didn't look favorably upon Mu Jinyu, thinking that if Elder Ji hadn't saved him, the Blood Ganoderma might have fallen into their hands instead of being wasted by Mu Jinyu. However, seeing Old Li take the lead in challenging Mu Jinyu, they were still quite surprised.
After the surprise, they all fell silent, and no one wanted to speak up for Mu Jinyu or mediate, enjoying the spectacle.
The Old Village Chief frowned at this, saying, "Old Li, what are you talking about? Why can't Jinyu have some soup? Your son is in Qinghe Sect now, and you still have an issue with him?"
Old Li swung the big ladle on his shoulder, saying indifferently, "Why would I have an issue with a useless pureblooded human? I just think this monster race remnant nourishing soup is very rare, maybe not boiled once in years, so it's better not to waste it on him!"
"Anyway, he's had the Blood Ganoderma that we've never even had, isn't that fair enough?"
"Moreover, he's not from our village. We were kind enough to save him and fed him for a while, isn't that enough? What help has he been to our village? Anyway, a pureblooded human won't be able to help us in the future, so why waste so much food to feed him?"
As Old Li finished speaking, some villagers who were also displeased with Mu Jinyu immediately chimed in.
"Yeah, he's just a pureblooded human, drinking this monster race remnant soup won't do any good, better save it so everyone can have another sip!"
"Exactly, he's had the Blood Ganoderma that we haven't, so there's no need for him to have this monster race remnant soup, right?"
"Actually, his injuries are healed now, and his strength is quite good, maybe he should go back instead of staying in our village!"
"..."
The Old Village Chief and Elder Ji and others, hearing these words, instantly had their faces darken.
"How can you say such things? Do you have to be like this?"
"You're dissatisfied with Jinyu over a Blood Ganoderma, feeling he wasted a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, but think about it, if he hadn't discovered the Blood Ganoderma, it would have matured and been eaten by the beast guarding the spiritual medicine, where would you have had the chance to get it? Just for this, you want to drive him out of the village, where is your conscience?"
"Don't forget, not long ago when the village was suffering from food shortage, and the village chief and others went hunting but couldn't find any game, nearly running into danger, it was Jinyu who risked himself to hunt dozens of fierce beasts back, solving our urgent needs. And this is how you treat him now?"
"Yes, if it weren't for him attracting so many ferocious beasts today, we might not have eaten so well, and wouldn't have caught this monster race remnant. And now you still dare blame him?! What did you contribute in this battle?"
"Exactly, if we're being strict about it, this meat was all killed by us old folks, what's it got to do with you?"
"..."
With the Old Village Chief and Grand Master Ji and several other elders chastising, the villagers of Xiaolin Village immediately lowered their heads in shame, no longer daring to speak.
Old Li's face turned red, and he promptly served Mu Jinyu a bowl of soup, urging him to go ahead and drink it.
Mu Jinyu stood silently aside with the soup, his heart, initially cooled by the villagers' mockery and thinking of leaving Xiaolin Village, was warmed by the Old Village Chief and others, beginning to waver in his thoughts about leaving now.
"Drink the soup, don't overthink it. Although you're a pureblooded human, practicing the 'Blood Tempering Method' must consume a lot, drinking this bowl of soup will do more for your Qi and Blood recovery than eating hundreds of pounds of fierce beast blood flesh!"
The Old Village Chief approached with a kindly smile, offering a few comforting words to Mu Jinyu, and urged him not to mind the others' looks and continue drinking the soup.
