Chapter 35
Little Luo Qian was in Ji Ruo’s arms, clutching tightly to Ji Ruo’s clothes. It kept its eyes closed and mumbled, “Meow, meow, meow! Meow, meow! (You can’t see me. You can’t see me. You can’t see me!)”
Ji Ruo held a knife in one hand and slashed the meat of the demonic beasts. Liang Shixian quickly applied the prepared ‘seasoning’ on the demon beast meat every time he cut off a single piece. There was no time for them to marinate the meat.
Moreover, this was real demonic beast meat.
Ji Ruo’s palm turned red. He used all his power to roast the meat that had been ‘seasoned’.
The high temperature generated by Iron Sand Palm cooked the demonic beast meat at an extremely fast speed. Even Ji Ruo himself didn’t realize that the Iron Sand Palm he obtained through unlocking the achievement seemed to have some extremely magical special effect in cooking.
The remark for this achievement was [Iron Sand Palm and fried rice are a perfect match!]
From the note, Ji Ruo’s martial art skill could be used for cooking.
Logically speaking, when he used Iron Sand Palm to stir-fry the raw rice, the cooked rice should have been very hard because he did not add water. However, this was not the case.
The rice fried with Iron Sand Palm was sweet and delicious. It was full and soft, and the taste was excellent.
This achievement martial art seemed to have a special bonus in terms of cooking.
The alluring aroma wafted in the air. Ji Ruo stuffed a piece into his mouth and chewed it as soon as it was cooked.
He ate a piece and gave another piece to Liang Shixian. It was a seamless connection.
“Class president, hurry up and eat it while it’s hot.”
“Uh… Slow down, I’m choking a little,” Liang Shixian said vaguely.
Now, he did not have to worry about his safety. It was useless to think about it. Ji Ruo seemed to have his own unique way of living in the secret realm.
Also, it seemed Ji Ruo’s idea was much better than his.
Little Luo Qian had been mumbling in Ji Ruo’s arms, but the screams of the demon beasts around had frightened it.
But gradually, the rich fragrance that flooded her nose gradually made her confused.
She sneakily stuck her head out of Ji Ruo’s chest and was shocked. “Meow, meow, meow! (Master! Why didn’t you tell me when you were eating?)”
“Hahaha. I forgot. Come, come and eat too.”
Ji Ruo chuckled and gave Luo Qian a piece of meat.
Luo Qian happily took the roasted meat and said, “Meow! (Thank you, master!)”
For some reason, she forgot about her fear.
The demonic beasts that had been tied up were struggling and screaming, but as the smell of Ji Ruo’s meat became stronger, they slowly turned to look at Ji Ruo’s hands.
“Roar! (What’s that?)”
“Chirp! Chirp! (It smells so good!)”
“Awoo! (Give me a bite! Let me have a bite!)”
Ji Ruo could not be bothered to care about the food reserves.
“You’re all going to be at the table, so why are you eating?” he mused.
The two humans and one cat ate quickly.
To Ji Ruo’s surprise, his proficiency in Iron Sand Palm was also increasing at a steady rate. He was getting closer and closer to the ‘perfection’ level. The red color was deeper, and the temperature was higher.
The efficiency of roasting meat had greatly increased.
Ji Ruo understood the reason.
It turned out that apart from fried rice, Iron Sand Palm could also increase one’s proficiency through cooking.
Liang Shixian’s mouth was full of oil as he ate, and his body was extremely warm. The flesh of a demonic beast contained a large amount of blood and flesh essence. It was the best supplementary resource for martial arts cultivation. After all, a martial artist’s cultivation required a large supply of vitality.
How could one practice martial arts without eating meat?
The reason he felt hot and dry was entirely because of the large amount of demonic beast meat supplied to his body, which was becoming more and more abundant.
Ji Ruo was in a similar situation, and his face was red.
When he saw that it was about time, he stopped roasting meat and began to practice martial arts to help with digestion.
Ji Ruo used the ‘full concentration breathing’ technique, which he had created by referencing a large number of basic breathing techniques, to work together with his martial arts movements and digest the demonic beast meat in his stomach.
The law of swinging one’s palms, kicking one’s legs, and doing things to one’s heart’s content was not applicable to martial artists.
Martial arts was about moving.
As long as Ji Ruo had enough energy, he could keep cultivating.
Ji Ruo had just broken through to a level 7 Martial Apprentice not long ago, and now he was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After all, although they were all low-level demonic beasts, they were still extremely high-end ingredients for martial apprentice martial artists to practice martial arts.
‘Full concentrated breathing’ was also a breathing technique created by Ji Ruo that allowed him to control his body with high efficiency.
Of course, while the growth rate was not slow, the digestion rate was also very fast.
After more than ten minutes of high-intensity practice, Ji Ruo felt like relieving himself. Martial artists had a strong digestive ability, and ‘full concentration breathing’ could even enhance it.
With so many beasts waiting to be slaughtered, Ji Ruo did not even need to consider the possibility of wasting them and quickly digested them.
A moment later, Ji Ruo found a hidden place and dug a toilet.
Liang Shixian’s digestion was slower. After Ji Ruo was done, he stood up and said to the leader of the tree demons, “Leader, the first batch of fertilizer has been converted. There’s not much, you guys can split it among yourselves.”
“Rustle, rustle! (Good, good, good! Fellow brother, I’m really grateful to you!”
The tree demon leader was overjoyed.
The rest of the tree demons were also very happy.
“Rustle, rustle! (The conversion speed is so fast.)”
“Rustle, rustle! (As expected of a godly tree.)”
In fact, these tree demons could directly kill the demon beasts, and it could also have the effect of fertilizing themselves.
However, in that case, they would have to wait for the demonic beast’s corpse to rot and slowly absorb the nutrients. It would take too long, and they could not absorb it directly.
However, things like feces were different. They could absorb it very quickly.
Ji Ruo happily asked Liang Shixian to dig a toilet like him after he was done digesting. He ran to the stream to wash his hands, then came back and picked two fruits to eat. It was healthy to eat meat and vegetables.
After resting for a while, Ji Ruo started to roast meat again. It was a little boring, but he was a martial artist. How could he not endure such a little hardship?
“It’s just a small problem. I can overcome it!” he thought to himself.
Little Luo Qian was a demonic devil. From [pet details], her talent was illusion.
However, Ji Ruo felt that this little guy might have some hidden talent. She could always eat until she was full, but she did not go to the toilet. She just lay on the ground and rested for a while before he continued eating.
“She’s only eating without relieving or defecating? Is she Griffin’s distant relative?” Ji Ruo wondered.
The two humans and one cat kept eating and digesting at a high speed.
When the night of the fourth day fell, Ji Ruo had already become a level 8 Martial Apprentice. The other changes were not that obvious, but his appetite had increased.
An hour later, Liang Shixian had also completed his break through.
After the seventh round of eating, Liang Shixian practiced martial arts to aid his digestion. He smacked his lips and sighed, “Ji Ruo, why do I feel like we will be able to break through to the level nine Marital Apprentice after this exam?”
After eating for half a day, he felt nauseated at the sight of meat, but the effect was really obvious.
Ji Ruo laughed. “That’s a small estimate. There are still two days left before the martial arts examination. I think we can try to reach the divine stage of Martial Apprentice. Come on, let’s continue eating. ”
“Meow! (Let’s eat, eat, and eat.)”
Liang Shixian’s expression was complicated as he said, “Wait for me to digest… I feel nauseated.”
Never in his wildest dreams did he think that he would one day be able to eat demonic beast meat until he vomited.
