The quiet and beautiful Blue Spirit Mountain Range had officially changed ownership. Despite that, Tang Weiguo and the rest only thought for a moment before deciding to stay.
Just one month’s salary from this job was sufficient to let their families live without any worries! This was the only thing they could do for their families.

Mystic One had returned to the villa, standing quietly by a corner as she looked at Bei Feng in the yard, standing within a bunch of peach trees.
The peach trees had grown to a height of over 10 meters and their trunks were each as thick as an adult’s waist. One had to know that just a few days ago, these trees were not even half a meter tall. Within the time frame of a single afternoon, they seemed to have jumped 50 years forward in time. The trees were weirdly separated into two types. Some of them had completely black barks, while the rest had normal-colored trunks.
Bei Feng could remember clearly that the black peach trees were all planted by Mystic Moon, while the normal ones had been planted by him.
The entire area was filled with the different colored trees growing together, with black and pink peach blossoms everywhere.
The fragrance of flowers permeated the entire area, causing one to feel extremely refreshed, as though they had received a baptism of the spirit.
Mystic One walked over and reported respectfully, “Boss, the matter has been taken care of.”
“En. Get a few guys and tear down all the villas. I want to plant this entire mountain range full of peach trees,” Bei Feng instructed lightly as he ran his fingers along the trunk of a black peach tree.
“Understood.”
Mystic One nodded lightly and turned around.
Cerberus strutted over gracefully as it returned to the villa. It’d spent a day in the mountains and had been acknowledged as a king by all the creatures on it. This alone caused its mood to soar.
“Yip!”
Lost in its dreamy state, the Cerberus bumped into Bei Feng as it walked. In an instant, its back arched dramatically as it jumped backwards.
Insatiable and Black Hole sniffed the air suspiciously, but after seeing that it was Bei Feng, they still went up to him although their eyes held some hints of fear.
After Bei Feng patted them on the head and left, a grave expression appeared on Indigestion’s face.
Indigestion cocked its head and thought, ‘What the hell happened with that little b*stard? How did his aura transform so drastically? Even this Lord Dog got a shock from it!’
Even those two idiots, Insatiable and Black Hole had been frightened to that extent, almost failing to recognize Bei Feng.
Bei Feng returned to his room, calmed his mind, and began to examine the ancient scrolls again.
With a pot of clear tea and a scroll of ancient text, Bei Feng managed to calm his heart down and sink his mind into the book.
It seemed like the ancient scriptures had a certain resisting effect against the evil source energy. Although the effect was not huge, it was enough to keep him from being corrupted by the energy.
Time passed and as he raised his head to look out of the window, the sky had already darkened. The tea by his side had grown cold long ago.
Bei Feng got up and stretched his limbs slowly. “The effects of the scriptures are only that much. It can only suppress the influence of the evil source energy temporarily, but it is incapable of removing it.”
He came to the yard and with a thought, retrieved a Demonic Beast body which looked like a donkey.
This Demonic Beast looked exactly like a donkey on Earth, being only much bigger in size. It was over six meters long and had long perky ears. There was a long wound on its abdomen.
Bei Feng took out the purple gold knife and began to slice at the skin and bones. It was unknown what material the knife was made of, but it was able to cut through the tough donkey hide with ease.
Within a few minutes, the entire beast had been skinned cleanly, revealing its pinkish red muscle and meat.
This donkey was a peak third level Demonic Beast. Its battle prowess was so high that it could even contend against some newly advanced fourth level human cultivators! Its strength was frighteningly high, and the energy in its blood and flesh far surpassed normal third level Demonic Beasts!
The knife in Bei Feng’s hands danced gracefully, quickly separating the meat and blood into neat chunks, leaving behind a bare skeleton.
A strong bloody stench rose continuously into Bei Feng’s nose, and he could feel the evil source energy in his dantian beginning to stir again.
Bei Feng who had just finished reading a bunch of scriptures was able to forcefully block the invasive influence of the evil source energy and keep his clarity of mind.
But from the bloodshot look in his eyes, it was easy to tell that his current situation was not as calm as he portrayed it.
All the innards was buried in his specialized medicine garden. At the same time, he buried 20 middle grade spirit stones into the ground as well. Then, he planted some of the seeds he found in Tian Mozi’s spatial ring as well.
After settling everything, Bei Feng spat out a mouthful of turbid air and looked towards the bare skeleton.
The skeleton had not been cleared properly of meat, there was still a large amount of blood and flesh stuck on it. Bei Feng took some water from the kitchen and started to clean it. After that, he left behind an entire piece of thigh bone.
With a flick of his hand, a huge pot appeared from his spatial ring. An enormous hand appeared and supported it, causing it to be suspended in midair.
A grayish white flame burst into life in Bei Feng’s hand, which then drifted lightly into the pot.
The meat from the thigh bone was carefully scrapped off by Bei Feng, while Mystic One stood to the side, helping him to prepare the ingredients.
The flame was very small, only about the thickness of a thumb. However, its temperature was extremely high. In under a minute, the pot was already hot enough.
After putting in the beast oil he refined from the meat, he added in some garlic and other complimentary ingredients before throwing in the thigh bone meat and stir-frying everything together.
When all the ingredients turned fragrant, he poured in a large portion of water and the shattered thigh bone before leaving everything to boil.
There were many folklore stories and sayings in the past which described the taste of donkey meat. For example, there was the saying: Dragon meat in heaven, donkey meat on earth. Although no one had tasted a dragon’s meat before, the ancient people felt that the heavenly taste of donkey meat would definitely be able to match up to dragon meat!
According to historical records, donkey meat had a perfect balance of sweetness and sourness. It had the effects of calming one’s mind, relieving stress and madness, nourishing blood and Qi, and so on. It could alleviate physical symptoms caused by long-term strain and ache caused by exposure to wind in addition to other benefits. The meat could be cooked and eaten directly or refined into sauce and used to boil porridge. Donkey broth soup was also very suitable for improving the symptoms of mentally disturbed sufferers.
From this, one could see how precious and delicious donkey meat had been in those times—a delicacy that could only be found on the tables of the rich and influential. Ordinary folk would not have any chance to savor it!
Although people enjoyed the taste of donkey meat and loved its taste, they found that its texture was rather tough. Thus, those people came up with a certain method…
This method was to catch a donkey between one and half to two years old and, while it was still alive, they would slice off pieces of its flesh!
After a period of time, the wounds on the donkey would gradually heal, replaced by new, tender flesh! These people would then slice off the meat again and cook it. They would then repeat this process over and over until the donkey eventually died!
Although this method was exceedingly cruel, it ensured that the donkey meat retained its taste, as well as an incredibly tenderness which practically melted in the mouth! At that time, this meat was something the powerful clans loved to eat the most!
Bei Feng controlled the fire carefully as he boiled the broth.
From time to time, he would add more water into the pot. After a while, an intoxicating fragrance rose out of the pot.
It was well-known that determining whether a meat dish was delicious depended on the amount of amino acids in it. Normal donkey meat already contained a rich amount of amino acids, not to mention this powerful donkey Demonic Beast of the third level!
In terms of taste, texture, and nutritional value, this donkey Demonic Beast had already surpassed the level of a normal donkey by umpteen times. Its meat was exceedingly tender, yet it still retained a nice chewy texture.
Just the smell of the broth alone was enough to cause one’s saliva to overflow uncontrollably!
This was especially the case for Bei Feng who had not eaten for an entire day. Right now, the meat in the pot was already cooked. However, it did not fall apart like regular donkey meat. Instead, it remained complete and sat calmly within the glistening soup.
The snow-white broth bubbled energetically. With each bubble that popped, a thick fragrance would rise out of the pot!
