Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 2678 Dining At The Table Of A Legend

ng Bai's breath caught.

"A Quad-Horned Bull? Those are found deep in the forest!"

Lin Mu nodded nonchalantly, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world.

ng Bai's heart pounded. The re thought of such a powerful creature being hunted and prepared for a al was almost unfathomable.

"What was its cultivation base?" he asked, almost afraid of the answer.

Lin Mu turned to his companion.

"Shrubby?"

Little Shrubby barely paused in his movents before answering casually.

"Oh, it was just at the Dao Treading Realm."

Lin Mu relayed the information with the sa level of ease.

ng Bai froze, his mind blanking for the second ti that night. His jaw went slack.

"D-Dao Treading Realm!?" he stamred, his voice cracking.

Lin Mu gave him an amused look.

"Yeah. I can't feed you Immortal Beast at yet. You'd explode into a red mist."

ng Bai gulped, his gaze darting to the massive pile of at still waiting to be cooked. The faint energy radiating from it was undeniable.

'This… This is all Dao Treading Realm beast at…'

His eyes flickered toward the bubbling pots and sizzling pans. If the at alone held this much power, then the dishes still being prepared…

ng Bai shuddered, his respect for Lin Mu growing tenfold.

'I'm not just following a powerful cultivator… I'm dining at the table of a legend,' ng Bai thought.

He had no idea that he would be eating a feast that even kings might not get to experience in their lifetis.

'If I'm being offered this, I have to take full advantage of it and not disappoint Master,' ng Bai resolved.

With that thought in mind, he picked up his pace, devouring the steak in front of him. When he finished, he imdiately reached for another. Then another. The rich, succulent at lted in his mouth, each bite bursting with juices infused with power.

By the ti he finished his third steak, the next dishes were ready, and ng Bai eagerly turned his attention to them.

The first was a deep, rich stew, its thick broth shimring with a golden hue. The marrow from the Quad-Horned Bull had lted into the stew, thickening it with concentrated nutrition and energy. Spirit herbs and plants floated in the broth, their potent essence blending seamlessly with the powerful vitality of the at.

ng Bai lifted a spoonful to his lips, inhaling deeply before taking a sip.

As soon as the warm, velvety liquid touched his tongue, his entire body shuddered. The intense, layered flavors wrapped around his senses. There was an umami depth he had never experienced before, enhanced by a hint of spice that lingered on his palate.

His eyes widened in awe.

"This… this is incredible!" he gasped.

Lin Mu chuckled but said nothing, watching with mild amusent as ng Bai devoured the stew.

Spoonful after spoonful, ng Bai ate with fervor, feeling the warmth of the dish seep into his very bones. It was unlike anything he had ever consud. With each swallow, he could feel his body strengthening, his ridians becoming clearer, his blood flowing with renewed vigor.

By the ti he finished his bowl, he leaned back in his chair, exhaling deeply. His stomach was full, stretched beyond anything he had ever experienced.

And yet, he felt no discomfort. Only energy. Power.

"Now rest and cultivate," Lin Mu advised. "Focus on assimilating all that energy."

ng Bai nodded.

"Yes, Master."

Without hesitation, he sat down, crossing his legs as he began his ditation. He knew he could not waste this opportunity.

Unlike Lin Mu, who possessed the Naless Technique of the Lost Immortal, or Little Shrubby, whose beastly appetite allowed him to devour large amounts without worry, ng Bai was still a Core Condensation realm cultivator. His ability to consu and digest such imnse energy was far more limited.

But he was determined to absorb as much as possible.

As he circulated his Qi, he felt the imnse influx of power rushing through his ridians. His Dantian, already close to its limit, swelled with the sudden intake of energy. It quickly beca clear that it could not hold any more spirit Qi, and so the excess energy began to focus on expanding his Dantian itself.

It was a slow, arduous process, but ng Bai welcod it. Every bit of progress mattered.

anwhile, the vitality he had consud worked its way through his body, nourishing his flesh, blood, and organs.

Before today, ng Bai had been sowhat malnourished. His past injuries had hindered his growth and left scars that had yet to fully heal. Without the necessary resources, his body had remained underdeveloped.

But now, all of that was changing.

At fifteen years old, ng Bai was slightly shorter than average, standing at only 164 centiters. His lack of proper nutrition had stunted his growth, delaying his natural developnt. The sa could be said for the nurous scars scattered across his body, remnants of a harsh and unforgiving life.

Yet, as he ditated, he could feel his body regenerating. His wounds, old and new, began to fade. His bones strengthened, his muscles beca denser, and his blood ran hotter with newfound vitality.

Lin Mu watched from the sidelines, quietly finishing his own al with Little Shrubby. Once they were done, he observed ng Bai with a keen gaze.

'It'll take him a while to process all of that energy,' Lin Mu assessed. 'I'll just leave him be for now.'

With nothing else to do at the mont, he retired to his room, resuming his reading.

Ti passed. The moons traversed the sky, the stars shimring in their celestial dance. Slowly, the horizon began to brighten as the first rays of the sun stretched across the heavens.

At long last, ng Bai exhaled, a deep breath filled with satisfaction.

"Huuuu."

He had finally finished assimilating all the energy from his al. It had taken him the entire night, yet he felt no fatigue. If anything, he was more refreshed than ever.
