"I must say, your thods are decisive and efficient, truly the bearing of seasoned warriors! To be honest, I have admired the Sanqing Immortal Sect for a long ti!"
[Ding!]
[Bragging detected nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana 99!]
Hearing this, a disciple from the Southern Extre Cave Heaven scratched his head. "Senior Brother, didn’t you just say they were uncouth—"
SMACK!
Before he could finish, a silver spear slamd into his neck, knocking him unconscious.
"Ah, my junior brother hasn’t eaten in so long that he’s delirious with hunger and spouting nonsense!" Sima Yulong said, holding his silver spear with a pitiful expression. He gave Wang Xiu a small bow. "My apologies for the scene, Junior Brother Wang."
Wang Xiu’s expression remained unchanged as he smiled and extended an invitation. "Why not have a taste? The flesh of an ancient species isn’t sothing you get to try every day!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, another disciple from the Southern Extre Cave Heaven stood up. "I’m afraid that won’t do. Our Senior Brother detests this way of eating, you—"
THUD.
He too was struck to the ground, landing with enough force to create a man-shaped crater. He lay there, seeing stars.
"Alas, another one’s gone delirious!" A sad look filled Sima Yulong’s eyes before he acted as if nothing had happened. "Since Junior Brother Wang has extended such a warm invitation, it would be rude of to refuse!"
Wang Xiu’s smile didn’t waver. "Please!"
"Please!"
Sima Yulong’s inclusion wasn’t the least bit out of place; the Sanqing disciples welcod him with open arms. This was not the first ti sothing like this had happened. Previously, whenever they killed Fierce Beasts and plundered treasure-filled lands, Wang Xiu would never let the prodigies of other nearby factions leave empty-handed, always sharing so of the spoils.
Many of his own sect’s disciples didn’t understand this approach. However, their group advanced so quickly and everyone was reaping such bountiful rewards that they didn’t care much for what seed like trivial handouts.
"Excellent. This Dragon Hawk is quite young, still a juvenile, so its at is very tender. It’s far more delicious than that Purple Blood Winged Wolf King we ate last ti!" Li Zuoyue said, having turned the Qingming Sword, one of his twenty-four blades, into an arm-length skewer. He stabbed a large chunk of hawk at and shoved it into his mouth, grease dripping from his chin as he ate.
Sima Yulong was astonished. "You also ate a Purple Blood Winged Wolf King?"
That was an ancient species too, a terrifyingly ferocious creature from a true royal lineage. Its power was far greater than the Golden Dragon Hawk’s. How could they bear to eat such a creature? If they had preserved its flesh and blood to refine into Elixirs later on, the effects would have been many tis stronger.
Huang Yunchong scoffed, "A Purple Blood Winged Wolf King is nothing. We’ve eaten quite a few creatures on our journey, including a Nine-Headed Golden Lion King, a Crimson-Eyed Demon Tiger, a Human-Faced Demon Vine..."
Hearing this, Sima Yulong felt as if his heart were bleeding. Those are all exceptionally rare ancient species, imnsely valuable and seldom seen even in the Ancient Forest, yet they were just... eaten. What an absolute waste!
Using his Mana, Wang Xiu guided a piece of cooked Dragon Hawk flesh over to him. It was sizzling with fat and slled irresistible. "Senior Brother Sima, have a taste!"
"Thank you!" The aroma startled Sima Yulong from his thoughts. His stomach rumbled, and he was suddenly famished. Heedless of the heat, he tore off a small piece.
Hmm?
His eyes flew open. "dicinal flesh! This is truly dicinal flesh!"
Sima Yulong was deeply moved. The fragrant at lted the mont it entered his mouth, and a stream of pure essence rushed through his entire body, leaving him feeling completely invigorated. A faint glow began to circulate around his skin. A wave of heat rumbled through him, surging through his flesh and blood as his vital energy grew stronger.
If I could eat this kind of dicinal flesh every day, my Cultivation Level would surely soar! he thought. The benefits of this Dragon Hawk at were far greater than he had ever imagined.
Wang Xiu saw his surprise and explained with a faint smile, "The Fierce Beasts in this Ancient Forest have always fed on various Spiritual and Treasure dicines and Spirit Fruits. Their bodies contain a vast amount of essence, and what’s more, they constantly absorb the incredible Spiritual Energy of this Holy Academy. Their flesh contains a trendous amount of energy. Even if eaten directly, its effects aren’t much less than if it were refined into an Elixir. We discovered this by chance!"
He said it was a chance discovery, but the truth was they had simply gathered too much on their journey. The various Spiritual and Treasure dicines they had found already cramd everyone’s Space Rings to the brim. The carcasses of Fierce Beasts were especially problematic; even butchered, they were the size of small mountains and took up enormous space. If they kept hauling the carcasses around, they wouldn’t be able to accumulate any other treasures. Yet, it felt like a terrible pity to just discard them. On the other hand, refining the flesh into Elixirs and the bones into Magical Treasures on the spot would be too ti-consuming and would cause them to lose their montum.
So, Wang Xiu ca up with this idea. Soon after, they discovered that the energy contained within the flesh of these Fierce Beasts was astonishing. Consuming it greatly benefited the body, strengthening one’s vital energy and advancing their Cultivation Level. In just two or three days, the overall Cultivation Level of the Sanqing disciples had taken a significant leap forward, much to their delight. In a place like the Holy Academy, the faster one’s cultivation improved, the greater the rewards they could obtain. Besides, the at of these Fierce Beasts was simply delicious. It would be a waste not to eat it!
Amazent filled Sima Yulong’s eyes as he glanced at the disciples around him. He noticed that a radiant sheen pulsed on the skin of every Sanqing disciple, as if divine light flowed within their bodies. Their strength was improving with every passing mont. He knew this was because they had consud so much of the Fierce Beasts’ flesh that their bodies couldn’t digest all the essence at once. The remainder was now constantly nourishing their physical forms.
Envy instantly washed over him. This is a life more comfortable than any god’s.
He savored the wondrous feeling of the ancient species’ flesh and couldn’t help but think, In that case, maybe we should also start cooking the Fierce Beasts we encounter from now on!
But he quickly shook his head and sighed.
