Chapter 367: The Cerberus's Considerations
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The energy contained in this donkey meat was even stronger than the Grade 9 Savage Beast meat. Quite obviously, this realm also had differences in power.
Bei Feng began practicing his Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique in the yard as large amounts of energy rampaged freely through his body. Bei Feng calmed his heart and sunk his mind into his cultivation.
As the pressure around his body grew stronger, the rampaging energy also slowed down as if it had been shackled down by chains. Their speed grew much slower before incorporated by Bei Feng's own blood and Qi energy and directed towards his veins.
"Pop!"
Numerous faint but realistic sounds ran out. Each popping sound represented a vein or meridian being cleared!
The energy contained in this donkey meat was stronger than any other Demonic Beast meat he had ever eaten, almost to a point where it was on a whole new level!
There was also nothing to criticize about the beneficial effects of eating it. If the ability of the Grade 9 Savage Beast meat to force open blood vessels and meridians was rated one, then the donkey meat was three!
At the same time, Bei Feng was gripping two middle tier spirit stones, one in each hand, as he absorbed the energy within without restraint!
The newly opened veins were frail, and if he was not careful, they would easily suffer damage.
In the past, Bei Feng would stop all the blood and Qi from going through a certain vein immediately after it'd been cleared to continue clearing another vein. Instead, he would let the blood and Qi sit in the vein to nourish it.
Then, the next time when he cultivated again, he could use that vein to carry his blood and Qi to besiege the other veins connected to it.
But now that he had the spirit stones, his options had increased substantially. The Ling Qi could be directly guided to a vein that had just been cleared, nourishing it immediately.
With speed visible to the naked eye, the fine cracks and scars left behind by the violent blood and Qi energy on the newly cleared veins were quickly healed by the Ling Qi from the spirit stone.
At the same time, the thickness of the veins were improved, allowing them to carry more powerful blood and Qi!
Bei Feng revolved his blood and Qi repeatedly until white steam rose continuously off his back, forming a fog cloud over a meter tall over his head.
A gentle breeze swept across the yard, causing the fog cloud to deform. However, it was eventually still not dissipated.
"Hu!"
Bei Feng opened his mouth and spat out a breath of steam. In an instant, his jade-white skin turned red, seemingly having transformed into a boiled lobster!
Droplets of impurities which had been lodged in Bei Feng's veins were slowly forced out of his skin.
"Just half a jin of donkey meat allowed me to clear over a thousand veins! How unexpected!"
Bei Feng swept his perception over his body and revealed a smile.
The Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique simply required too much in resources to train in. It was so hefty that even Bei Feng felt quite shocked. One Jin of Grade 9 Savage Beast meat was only enough to help him clear about 200 to 300 veins.
Seeing the dirt on his clothes, Bei Feng could not help but narrow his eyes with disgust. These smelly droplets of sweat were actually the impurities from the deepest parts of the body. As long as a vein was not cleared, it was impossible to remove the impurities within.
Bei Feng returned to his room and went directly to the bathroom. After cleaning himself thoroughly, he felt extremely relaxed, as if the pores on his body were breathing as well.
This was not a mere feeling or some illusion. In fact, his pores were really breathing!
But what they were breathing in was actually not air. Instead, the pores were breathing imperceptible amounts of Heaven and Earth Ling Qi!
In other words, Bei Feng's body was absorbing Heaven and Earth Ling Qi from the air. The Heaven and Earth Ling Qi would flow to every part of his body and be absorbed by his cells, slowly strengthening him.
Of course, this kind of strengthening was very slow. A tiny bit of result might only appear after over a decade or so of constant absorption.
When he was done, Bei Feng pulled a fresh robed over himself and went back to the dining table. The little fox had picked up its bowl and downed its spoonful of soup in a suave manner before puffing its chest out and walking away in a satisfied manner as though it was drinking some strong alcohol. Mystic One had also disappeared after eating her fill. Bei Feng also did not bother to find out where everyone had gone.
The donkey broth had already become somewhat cold, so Bei Feng used his Azure Alchemist Fire and heated it up again.
The large amounts of energy he had received from the first round of donkey meat had already been expended to clear his blood vessels. At this time, his stomach was still not satisfied!
In a few minutes, the milky white broth had started bubbling again, and the rich fragrance of the meat broth spread through the air.
Bei Feng did not rush to eat the meat. Instead, he started by scooping himself a bowl of soup.
A thin layer of oil and greasy fat lined the surface of the soup. A few pieces of chopped green onion floated above it. Just the appearance of this soup alone was enough to rouse the appetite of anyone!
Bei Feng scooped up half a spoon of the piping hot soup and brought it to his mouth. As soon as it entered his mouth, he could feel the soup slide across his tongue like silk. The fresh meaty taste in the soup was even superior to the actual donkey meat itself!
Although only the most basic complimentary ingredients were added to the soup, there wasn't the least bit of any gamey taste in the soup! Normally, there would always be a slightly gamey odor in any cattle-type dishes if they were cooked and treated with simple ingredients only.
In contrast, there was a refreshing taste reminiscent of spirit herbs which had been deeply melded into the blood and flesh of the meat!
"Could it be that this huge fellow was a herbivore?"
Bei Feng felt rather astonished at this discovery. All the Demonic Beasts he'd seen before, no matter what species they were, would usually eat a bit of meat to make the leap to become a Demonic Beast. Even after making the leap to become a Demonic Beast, these creatures would not mind changing their diets to a purely carnivorous one.
At this moment, the Cerberus was at the back of the mountain, violently striking at everything around it. Its destructive power was extremely shocking!
"Boom!"
The mountain peak of a small mountain nearby was directly blasted apart by a Moon Seizing strike!
"Hu, hu!"
The Cerberus stuck out its tongues, huffing and puffing raggedly.
"D*mn bastard! This Lord Dog almost died!"
At this time, the Cerberus's size was fluctuating wildly, sometimes growing larger and sometimes shrinking down. Its breath was also wild and uneven.
It had not expected that the energy in that bone marrow would actually be so monstrous! Those two greedy idiots had swallowed quite a lot of bone marrow with just one bite!
"I must definitely watch these two properly the next time! Otherwise, they'll kill this Lord Dog one day!"
Indigestion was on the verge of tears. For a period of time, the Cerberus had nothing nice to eat. Then, all of a sudden, it was getting stuffed with every morsel it took!
The Cerberus stopped its actions and surveyed the chaos around it. The place looked like it'd been blasted with several bombs, and looked completely messy.
As it felt the huge surge of energy still rampaging through its body, the Cerberus gritted its teeth and decided to make its breakthrough!
A dense devilish Qi rose out of the Cerberus's body, forming a huge cocoon around him.
The strongest thing about Demonic Beasts was usually their body. Every species were different, but Demonic Beasts usually had huge bodies. That was because a larger body could hold more strength and energy, usually making the larger Demonic Beasts more powerful when compared with others within the same realm.
Although the human body could not contain as much power as a Demonic Beast of the same realm, humans were better at controlling and using their powers.
Still, unless it was some monstrous genius-level characters, Demonic Beasts were usually stronger than their human counterparts.
"Hong!"
A few hours passed, and the Cerberus's aura surged madly upwards. Blood and Qi energy as well as a frightening demonic aura rushed into the sky!
"I've finally recovered my Xiantian mid stage cultivation! This was much faster than I'd expected," Indigestion mumbled with excitement. At this current rate of improvement, it should be able to break through to become a Controlled Dan Demonic Beast for real within a decade! [1]
As of now, its strength had already reached the Controlled Dan level. However, its cultivation was still within the middle Xiantian realm. But as long as it had sufficient resources, it was not impossible for it to break through to the Controlled Dan realm within a year!
Of course, Insatiable was not thinking about rushing to reach the Controlled Dan realm so quickly. Instead, it was doing its best to suppress its cultivation right now.
It wanted to make its foundations as stable as possible! After all, a chance like this to start anew was a heavenly gift!
