Chapter 131 - Foodie Master And Foodie Disciple
To Qin Jue and Su Yan, the matter of Stone Village was just an interlude and they didn't take it to heart. Moreover, they had only visited the village because of Qin Jue's whim.
As for whether Shi Tian could grow into the protagonist Qin Jue imagined him to be, it would depend on Shi Tian's luck.
"Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Shi Tian will reach the Supreme Stage anytime soon."
Qin Jue sighed, rather depressed.
However, even if he did, he still wouldn't be considered a peerless talent.
After all, Supreme Stage experts might be considered top-notch experts in places like the Southern Land, but they were quite ordinary in the Sacred Land of the Central Continent.
Apart from small border cities like Dark Moon City, basically all the city lords of any city were at the Supreme Stage..
In the next few days, the two of them went deep into the Demonic Beast Mountain Range and saw many strange things. There was a beautiful valley as well as strange flowers and herbs could be seen everywhere. It was like a paradise.
There were also sinister and dangerous places where various poisonous insects, snakes, and ants shuttled through the forest. Fiend beasts roamed freely, and it caused others to shudder.
As they went deeper and deeper, the level of the fiend beasts continued to increase. In the end, they even encountered fiend beasts of the Saint Stage. With a casual roar, these Saint Stage fiend beasts could shatter the liver and gallbladder of a low-level cultivator, causing them to die.
Qin Jue had come to the Sacred Land of the Central Continent with the mentality of traveling, so he had a lot of fun along the way. He had also collected countless spirit fruits and spirit herbs, so he had no choice but to temporarily expand the space in his storage ring.
Although Qin Jue never cared much about cultivation resources, spirit fruits could be eaten directly. As for spirit herbs, Qin Jue planned to bring them back for Bai Ye to refine pills.
Speaking of which, when he returned, would Bai Ye still be alive? Or would he have already been dismembered by the ladies?
"Roar!"
As he was thinking about this, a vast aura suddenly rose from afar, mixed with endless anger. Even space distorted slightly.
In an instant, the world turned crimson as the boundless sky appeared.
It was obvious that only a Saint Stage fiend beast could cause such a phenomenon.
"Human! How dare you barge into my territory…"
Before it could even finish speaking, Qin Jue flicked his finger without even looking.
Pfft.
The golden light instantly pierced through the fiend beast's jaw and then shot out from the back of its head, tearing its Essence Soul apart.
Hu -
The phenomenon between heaven and earth suddenly stopped and slowly dissipated, as if nothing had happened.
Boom!
The fiend beast's huge body fell from the sky like a meteorite, causing the ground to shake.
Seeing this, another fiend beast hidden in the distance immediately pissed itself in fear and turned to flee without hesitation.
"This human is too terrifying."
In fact, this was already the third Saint Stage fiend beast that Qin Jue had killed. One of the fiend beasts even had half its body blasted away, leaving nothing behind.
This should be one with the most complete corpse.
"I wonder what Saint Stage fiend beasts taste like."
Qin Jue motioned with his hand, and the mountain-like corpse of the Saint Stage fiend beast immediately passed through space and appeared in front of him.
Because the first two didn't look good, Qin Jue left the corpses alone. This one looked good to eat.
"Senior, at our current speed, we should be able to leave the Demonic Beast Mountain Range in about two days."
At this moment, Su Yan walked over and smiled.
At this moment, Su Yan had already removed her mask, and her peerlessly beautiful face was revealed. She had bright eyes and white teeth, looking like a painting. With her appearance, she could charm any man.
During the time she traveled with Qin Jue, Su Yan had also obtained a large number of spirit fruits and cultivation resources. Usually, she wouldn't even dare to imagine obtaining high-level spirit herbs, but in this Demon Beast Mountain Range, they seemed to be everywhere.
Occasionally, she would encounter fiend beasts guarding nearby heavenly treasures, but they would all be casually killed by Qin Jue and reduced to spoils of war.
"Yeah."
Qin Jue nodded and quickly cut off a piece of beast meat. Then he skillfully cleaned it and began to roast it.
"Roar, roar…"
In the sky, Yun Xi let out a "fierce" roar and flew over while smelling the fragrance. It was extremely cute.
Because she had already advanced to level three, Yun Xi could now fly for a short period of time, but her speed was a little slow.
"Didn't I tell you not to run around?"
Qin Jue chided.
"Come on, I just learned to fly. I want to practice."
Yun Xi grabbed her ears and landed on Qin Jue's shoulders, saying guiltily.
Qin Jue rolled his eyes speechlessly. With Yun Xi's cultivation, running around in such a place was no different from courting death, so he had no choice but to use his spirit sense to follow Yun Xi just now.
"Master, what's there to eat?"
Yun Xi shook her strand of hair and asked impatiently.
Seeing that Yun Xi had changed the topic, Qin Jue was rather helpless. "This is the meat of a Saint Stage fiend beast. You can't eat it."
"Why?"
Yun Xi instantly lowered her face when she heard this, and she was filled with grievance.
"We'll talk about it after you advance to level five."
Qin Jue said calmly.
If it was only the meat of a Supreme Stage fiend beast, Yun Xi could still absorb and refine it with her cultivation.
However, the Saint Stage fiend beasts was a different case. Whether it was their flesh, blood, or bones, they were all filled with tremendous spirit qi and vitality. Even after death, their corpse wouldn't decay for another hundred or even another thousand years.
Even if Yun Xi was at level four, it would still be very difficult for her to endure it. If she was careless, she could even explode from the pressure.
Even if Yun Xi's physique had been transformed by the dragon blood, how could the blood of a Supreme Stage Great Void Dragon compare to the blood of a Saint Stage fiend beast?
"Level five?"
Yun Xi sat on Qin Jue's shoulder and counted with her fingers. "One, two, three, four, five. Won't that take a long time?"
Qin Jue :"…"
Of course. If it could be done in a short period of time, there would be level five spirit herbs everywhere.
However, if you continue with your current speed, it shouldn't take long, right?
In a short half a year, Yun Xi had advanced from a weed that had just gained sentience to a level three spirit herb.
In comparison, what were the likes of Shi Tian and Li Qiyue?
"Master, is there anything else to eat?"
Yun Xi was still unwilling to give up and continued to pester Qin Jue.
"Sigh, I'm really unlucky to have a disciple like you."
Qin Jue was speechless and could only take out a spirit fruit to keep her quiet.
"Hehe, Master is the best."
Yun Xi hugged the spirit fruit that was even bigger than herself and ate it happily.
Not long after, the beast meat was roasted. Qin Jue gave some meat to Su Yan for the first time, making her feel flattered.
"Thank you, Senior."
Su Yan took the roasted meat and ate it carefully.
Just as Qin Jue had said, the meat of a Saint Stage fiend beast was far from what ordinary fiend beasts could compare with. Even though Su Yan was already a Supreme Stage expert, she still had to be careful.
On the other side, Qin Jue didn't have so many worries. In his eyes, there was only meat that tasted good and meat that tasted bad. As for spirit qi, it wouldn't affect him at all.
Just like that, two days passed. Qin Jue and Su Yan finally flew out of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range and arrived at a boundless plain.
Several tens of thousands of kilometers ahead was the territory of the Immortal Sacred Land.
