[Ding, you have successfully accepted the inheritance of the "Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique", and you have learned the Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing.] Under the witness of the Dharma disciple, Li Mu's divine sense was poured into the Dharma Transmission Jade Scroll, successfully learning the Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique.

Seeing the Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique successfully inscribed on the character panel, Li Mu handed the Dharma Transmission Jade Scroll back to the Dharma disciple.

"Have you memorized it? Once the Jade Scroll is retrieved, it will cost 1000 contribution points to view it again next time!" The Dharma disciple accepted the Jade Scroll and reminded him.

"Thank you, senior brother! I've memorized it! Next time, I'll come back to pick up the "Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture"." Li Mu thanked him with a smile and bid farewell.

The Dharma disciple paid no further attention to Li Mu, sitting down and continuing to read.

Leaving the Dharma Transmission Hall, Li Mu headed straight out of the inner city and checked into the Wangyun Pavilion Inn. In the inn's dining hall, he found a private room to begin ordering food, planning to test the effects of the "Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique".

"Shopkeeper, come in for a moment, I want to order food." Li Mu loudly called for the shopkeeper.

"Here, here! What would the guest like to eat? Cloud Dragon Buddha Hand is our restaurant's featured dish today." The shopkeeper swiftly entered the room, enthusiastically recommending to Li Mu.

"Do you have Tier Two Demon Beast Meat?" Li Mu asked directly.

"Yes, yes, we just bought a few pounds of Tier Two Blood-Bristled Demon Beef. It's rare to have Tier Two Demon Beast Meat suitable for Spiritual Cuisine, so it's quite pricey. How much does the guest want to make?" The shopkeeper quickly stepped forward to greet and remind him.

"How many Spirit Stones does one pound make?" Li Mu asked calmly.

"One pound costs 10 Middle Spirit Stones. Half a pound would be enough for one person." The shopkeeper suggested.

"Make one pound of Tier Two Demon Beast Meat, then have a serving of Crescent Rice, a serving of Spirit Chicken Soup, sauté some Ink Spirit Mushrooms, and also serve the Cloud Dragon Buddha Hand." Li Mu waved his hand, boldly ordering his dishes.

"Uh! The total cost for these dishes would be 30 Middle Spirit Stones. If it's just you, you might not finish it all. Guest, are you sure you want all of these?" The shopkeeper looked at Li Mu and reminded him again.

"Just serve the dishes I ordered, you won't miss out on the Spirit Stones. I'll pay for what's left after eating." Li Mu glared at the shopkeeper, not in a good mood, and took out around ten Middle Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag as a partial prepayment.

"Alright, alright! I'll arrange for the kitchen right away, guest, please wait a moment." With a look of joy, the shopkeeper took the Spirit Stones and hurriedly went to the kitchen to arrange for the Spiritual Cuisine.

In a private room on the second floor of the Wangyun Pavilion Inn, Li Mu sat by the window, overlooking the cultivators coming and going on the main street of Gangyang City, feeling the prosperous, safe, and peaceful atmosphere of the city.

Recalling the incident that happened this morning, Li Mu felt a pang of unease. He was ambushed by five Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators, and if he hadn't discovered it in advance and reacted quickly, he might have perished alongside Tang Hongliang and the others.

The Profound Yin Sect and Corpse Refining Sect's Foundation Establishment disciples were hunting Qing Xuan Sect's Management Disciple, and at that moment, Li Mu also realized that Qing Xuan Sect's situation might not be as peaceful as he had imagined.

The sect's troubles are for the higher-ups to worry about, Li Mu didn't care, but he was afraid that this fire would burn onto him.

At that moment, Li Mu was eager to establish a foundation, as successfully doing so would greatly increase his strength, allowing him to decide whether to fight or flee, at least without being so passive.

"Still have to wait two more months!" Li Mu sighed, greatly disappointed at not having obtained the "Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture".

Li Mu decided to disguise himself and go to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion after finishing his meal, to refine some Spiritual Artifacts as Master Li and earn some Spirit Stones, so he could return to Cyan Dragon Valley as soon as possible.

Just as Li Mu was lost in thought, the slightly ajar door of the private room was pushed open, and the shopkeeper, along with two maids carrying trays of dishes, successively entered the room, being careful not to spill the dishes.

"Guest, the food has arrived. Steamed Tier Two Demon Beef, Cloud Dragon Buddha Hand, a portion of Colorful Spirit Chicken Soup, these are Ink Spirit Mushrooms, ..." The shopkeeper placed the aromatic and spiritually abundant Spiritual Cuisine onto the round table, filling up the entire table.

"Guest, all the dishes are served. Please enjoy, and if there's anything else you need, just give me a shout." Smiling, the shopkeeper instructed Li Mu before bowing and withdrawing with the two maids.

After leaving the private room, one of the maids remembered to close the door.

Looking at the table full of exquisite Spiritual Cuisine, Li Mu smiled in satisfaction. His gaze fell on the character's virtual box, and he mentally manipulated it, adding points to the "Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique". Both the "Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique" and "Profound Celestial Sword Array - Basic Chapter" are Earth-tier top-grade cultivation techniques, requiring ten times the skill points to upgrade compared to Yellow Level Techniques and Profound Level Techniques.

[Ding, you consumed one free skill point, and the proficiency of the Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique increased by 1.]

...

[Ding, you consumed one free skill point, and the proficiency of the Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique increased by 1, raising the level of the Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique to: Level 3, and you comprehended the Whale Devouring Spirit Transformation.]

By consuming 16,000 free skill points, Li Mu successfully raised the "Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique" from entry level to Level 3.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

Just as the "Spirit Devouring Body Nourishing Technique" was upgraded to Level 3, successfully acquiring an Eating Skill Divine Technique, Li Mu's stomach let out an intense growl, as if he hadn't eaten in months.

Li Mu's face turned pale with hunger.

At that moment, Li Mu had no other thoughts, but to 'eat' as he faced the table full of Spiritual Cuisine.

Soon, like a starving ghost reincarnated, Li Mu devoured the whole pot of Spirit Rice, taking a bite of Demon Beast Meat, then a bite of Spirit Rice, eating and drinking voraciously.

The growling hunger from his stomach grew quieter, but the urging growl still wouldn't stop, only consuming all the Tier Two Demon Beast Meat and all the other dishes could make Li Mu feel slightly better.
