Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Incomparably Fierce Demon Beast Spiritual Qi
"Keep the fire small... even smaller..."
"Big fire! Big fire! Turn up the heat to reduce the sauce!"
Chen Mo stood above Yu Yun, watching the situation inside the Pill Furnace while directing this Foundation Establishment Realm bigwig to act as his assistant.
This continued for a whole day and night.
The two of them spent the time staring at one another, occasionally glancing back at the braised lizard head inside the furnace as it gradually began to overflow with a rich aroma.
During this time, one or two blind evil spirits caught the scent of the cultivators’ aura and tried to ambush them. However, before they could even get close, their life force was stripped away, and they died completely!
Because of this, Chen Mo also realized one thing: Elder Yu had already set up some kind of Killing Array in this area!
Finally, when a chopstick could easily pierce the cheek meat, the entire furnace of braised meat was ready.
On the other side, Chen Mo asked Yu Yun to continue maintaining the low heat to control the temperature. Meanwhile, he mounted a pre-prepared whole Spirit Sheep over a pit and began roasting it with Flaming Palm.
Behind him, Yu Yun looked over, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Clearly, she hadn’t expected that he had actually cultivated Flaming Palm, a Basic Magic, to Great Success!
She evaluated silently, "He can be considered a cultivator with perseverance.
"It’s a pity his aptitude is ultimately a bit lacking."
After a day and a night together, the Hall Master of the Array Hall had gradually warmed up to him. While they weren’t exactly chatting about everything under the sun, they would still exchange a few words occasionally.
The Spirit Sheep roasting under the flames began to SIZZLE with hot oil. For a time, the braised aroma and the roasted scent intertwined in Chen Mo’s not-so-large courtyard.
Once the whole sheep was nearly done roasting, he set up a pot and cooked a large batch of Giant Bone Spirit Rice. Then, with a bit of effort, he whipped up a massive, sizzling dry-pot dish of Spirit Chicken Meat and Yellow Spirit Grass Flowers. Finally, he boiled a soup using Cyan Leaf Orchids.
With too much food and portions that were far too large, a table definitely couldn’t hold it all. Chen Mo had no choice but to lay a massive tarpaulin, originally used for holding Spirit Rice, out on the ground.
Seeing that everything was ready, he made an inviting gesture.
Yu Yun gave a slight nod. Like a graceful young lady, she scooped herself a bowl of Spirit Rice, sat on the edge of the Pill Furnace, and began fishing the braised meat out from the pot.
"Elder Yu, can I go invite my older brother to eat with us?" Chen Mo asked. There was so much food; they couldn’t possibly finish it all!
"Sure."
Having received permission, he immediately summoned his Flying Sword and headed straight for the White Snake Marketplace.
Yu Yun didn’t even raise her head.
As early as the braising process, she had seen that Chen Mo had already learned the Sword Control Technique. Judging by his style, it was highly likely the Cyan Yang Sect’s Setting Sun Sword Technique. This meant he possessed at least one Flying Sword!
However, even so, she didn’t ask for one back. It was merely a Tier One Low Grade Spiritual Artifact; Elder Kong could refine them at any time.
"Brother Chen, what’s the rush?! I was just about to go process some seeds!" Song Yunxi complained as Chen Mo continuously dragged him outward.
"You’ll know once we get to my house."
"Can’t you just tell me?"
"You’ll know when you see it!"
Chen Mo didn’t want to explain. Time was limited, and if they delayed, the food would get cold.
Song Yunxi shook his head helplessly, but unable to refuse, he soared into the air alongside him. Walking from the Marketplace to the Spirit Field took half an hour, but now, with Sword Flight, it only took a few breaths of time.
The two of them soon arrived.
The moment Song Yunxi stepped into the range of the Silence Array, the originally icy and snowy environment instantly became as warm as early spring. It was only then that he realized his brother seemed to have truly mastered the Silence Array!
"Brother Chen, you learned it?"
Chen Mo nodded.
"When did that happen?"
"Over a year ago, I think?"
"Damn! Are you really an array ge—"
Before Song Yunxi could finish his sentence, the scene before his eyes made his mouth drop wide open, unable to close for a long time!
Right now, an incomparably massive Alchemy Furnace stood in the rather modest courtyard. From the shape of the furnace and the patterns on its exterior, it seemed to be Elder Wang’s... However, this wasn’t what truly surprised him!
Atop the furnace, a Female Cultivator with peerless features, clothes whiter than snow, and a radiating, powerful aura held a palm-sized bowl. Sitting at the mouth of the Alchemy Furnace, she calmly used her chopsticks to pick up unknown food from within and chewed quietly.
"Elder... Elder Yu..." Song Yunxi’s mouth finally closed.
Yu Yun turned her head, glanced at him, and gave a slight nod before resuming her meal. Her long hair, slightly in the way, had been tucked to one side. Just a simple view of her profile was enough to make the heart of this romantic cultivator—who had navigated countless romantic exploits over the years—race wildly.
"Why... why is she here? And what... what is this?"
For a moment, Song Yunxi’s mind was filled with questions. However, Chen Mo didn’t answer him. He directly scooped a bowl of Spirit Rice and handed it over. He then used his Sword Control Technique to hover the roasted whole sheep and the other dishes above the furnace.
Afterward, Chen Mo leapt up, sat opposite Yu Yun, and began to gorge himself.
He picked up a piece of cheek meat. As soon as it entered his mouth, a Spiritual Qi so dense it was beyond compare instantly began to ravage his oral cavity. A Tier One Ninth Layer Demon Beast was this terrifying, even if it was just its flesh!
[Huai Mountain Qi Cultivation Technique +1]
[Huai Mountain Qi Cultivation Technique +1]
As the bright yellow text floated up, Chen Mo’s eyes immediately lit up! It really was like this!
No longer caring about his image, the chopsticks flew rapidly in his hands, sending piece after piece of cheek meat packed with massive amounts of Spiritual Qi straight into his mouth. The Spiritual Qi began to run through his body, following the path of Circulation.
"Your Realm isn’t high enough. I advise you to eat less," Yu Yun spoke up to warn him.
Right at that moment, Chen Mo finally realized where the problem lay!
The Spiritual Qi within a Demon Beast’s body was exceptionally abundant. This was especially true for the Pentagonal Heavy Lizard, a Demon Beast that loved consuming Spiritual Qi and had lived near an Ore Vein long-term. But a Demon Beast was still a Demon Beast. Although the Spiritual Qi within its body was abundant, once it entered a cultivator’s body, it became Exotic Spiritual Qi!
They had never undergone domestication, nor were they like Spirit Pigs or Spiritual Oxen, which were almost perfectly compatible with human cultivators. Therefore, after this Spiritual Flesh entered his stomach and the Spiritual Qi flooded his body, it quickly began to wildly thrash about inside Chen Mo.
Back when it was a Pentagonal Heavy Lizard that wasn’t even Tier One First Layer, it naturally didn’t have this effect. But the current one was Tier One Ninth Layer—an existence equivalent to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer!
Seeing the situation within his body getting worse and worse, Chen Mo flipped down and sat cross-legged to meditate.
"Brother Chen! Brother Chen!" Song Yunxi stepped forward in concern, but the latter had no time to respond to him!
"It was just a few bites. There shouldn’t be any major issues for now," Yu Yun said softly from atop the Pill Furnace.
Seeing this, Song Yunxi looked at Chen Mo on the ground, then up at Yu Yun. Finally, he picked up a large bowl of Giant Bone Spirit Rice and sat down up there.
He took a bite of the Spirit Rice.
"Brother Chen still remembers that I love this—"
Song Yunxi’s eyes instantly widened. He turned his head to look at Chen Mo, who was still sitting cross-legged in meditation on the ground. In a flash, his heart was filled with confusion!
Giant Bone Spirit Rice?
This is Giant Bone Spirit Rice?
Why was it completely different from the Giant Bone Spirit Rice he had eaten before?!
"You noticed it too?" Yu Yun’s voice drifted over at that moment.
