403. Big Mouthfuls of Meat, Breaking Through!

Even though it had been stewed until it was soft and tender, it still had a fierce feel to it, which surprised everyone who saw it for the first time.

"Is this the head of the Nine-Headed Lion?"

"As expected of a Sendai Demon Beast, it is truly terrifying!"

"There are so many Dao Patterns flowing around? No, Demon Beast shouldn't Dao Patterns unless this Nine-Headed Lion cultivates the Dao. But if this Nine-Headed Lion cultivates the Dao, wouldn't it mean that someone else's mount had its head chopped off by the Three Immortals Inn?"

Everyone was astonished.

When the food was served, the three parties who ordered it were all quite taken aback by the enormous dish in front of them!

That's terrifying!

It not only looks enormous, but also exudes a terrifying pressure that would terrify even Nascent Soul or Spirit Severance Stage cultivators.

But at the same time, this Braised Lion's Head is also very 'beautiful'!

Not only was it processed to a bright red color, but it also glistened with oil and was garnished with a green Spirit Herb, making it look very appetizing.

"Good!"

Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise, "This is the kind of food we should be eating!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

She muttered to herself, then picked up the chopsticks beside her and was about to dig in under everyone's watchful eyes, however...

Snap!

The chopsticks shattered into pieces the moment they got close!

"Hiss!!!"

This scene captivated everyone, and many couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"Is this the terror of the Sendai Demon Beast?"

"Even if it has been dead for hundreds of years, or even been cooked into food and is already fully cooked, it still has this power. Ordinary things simply cannot desecrate it!"

"This... I'm afraid even if it were placed right in front of them, those with insufficient cultivation would be completely unable to enjoy it, right?"

"Still not fortunate enough to enjoy it? I think anyone below the Golden Core who gets close and even entertains such thoughts will be instantly annihilated, body and soul!!"

The onlookers were utterly shocked. No one had expected that the signature dish of the Three Immortals Inn, which had been the main attraction for the past few hundred years, would be so terrifying.

Or rather...

Using a second-tier Sendai-level Demon Beast as food, and specifically its head!!!

Even among cultivators, those who can taste or even witness this dish are extremely rare.

How could an ordinary person possibly witness such a thing? Therefore, they naturally wouldn't know just how terrifying it truly is.

Even for a mere second-tier Sendai-level Demon Beast, very few people have the chance to see it.

It should be noted that a being at the second level of the Sendai realm is already qualified to be called a great power. Even in the holy land, a cultivator with such cultivation is an elder-level being, let alone in the wilderness.

"This is truly an eye-opener!"

"The signature dish truly lives up to its name. Three hundred million Spirit Stone... Now it seems it wasn't a waste!"

"Nonsense, Three Immortals Inn never rips off customers; their prices are always justified. Now it seems there might even be Demon Core hidden inside these lion's head meatballs!"

"Demon Core?!"

"Even though the Nine-Headed Lion has nine Demon Core, which are not as valuable as other Demon Core, they are still estimated to be worth over a hundred million Spirit Stone, right?"

"So, this Braised Lion's Head is really not expensive!"

"However, I'm more curious about how one can even begin to eat this terrifying lion's head meatball. Chopsticks can't even get close. Do we have to... just use our hands?"

Amidst the gasps of astonishment from the crowd, Dan the Fatty, the Divine Calculator, and the others all stared expectantly at Qi Saintess ...

After all, His Highness hasn't made a move yet, so how dare anyone else?

In fact, even Qi Saintess was somewhat confused at this moment, both her true form and her avatar were in the same state!

This Braised Lion's Head was even more amazing than she had imagined, but... how to eat it? That was the question!

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, a waitress came over, carrying a lot of shiny silver chopsticks.

These chopsticks are made of some unknown material; they are not only shimmering silver but also crystal clear, clearly indicating their extraordinary nature.

"Distinguished guests, although the Demon Beast are dead, demon Demon Beast at the Sendai level, even if they die, will not decay for thousands of years, even if they are exposed to wind, sun and rain, unless they encounter special circumstances."

"Therefore, ordinary tableware is not allowed to be touched. Our Three Immortals Inn has specially prepared special tableware for our distinguished guests to enjoy the food."

"..."

Okay!

So they were prepared all along, and even the chopsticks look expensive!

That's amazing!

Then...

Start!

Upon receiving the special tableware, all three parties became restless and began to dig in. Even the disciples of the Hundred Refinements Pavilion, including Chi Xiaomo, who had been reluctant to spend the money, picked up a piece and prepared to feast.

but...

Just as Qi Saintess was the first to pick up her chopsticks and take a piece.

Roar!!!!

Boom!

Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged, and a terrifying golden lion's head phantom appeared on the already ripe lion's head, roaring and bringing gusts of wind!

It was as if it were a living golden lion, expressing anger and dissatisfaction.

"Snort!"

However, with a cold snort, the Qi Saintess instantly filled the area with purple energy, dispelling the phantom of the lion's head.

"You've been dead for years, and you've become food on someone's plate, yet you dare to be so insolent?!"

She spoke, then immediately picked up a piece and began to eat with gusto!

Tasty!

With just the first bite, Qi Saintess narrowed her eyes, revealing a look of satisfaction and enjoyment. At the same time, she felt a terrifying energy erupt from her flesh, instantly sweeping through her entire body, almost causing her to cry out in surprise.

However...

This is just the beginning!

A mysterious fragment of the Dao suddenly dawned on my mind. It was profound, but unfortunately, it was only a tiny fragment. It made my heart itch and I couldn't help but want to continue to feast on it.

The same was true for ' Lin Fan ', but she was the real Lin Fan, and her strength was even greater. The lion head didn't even dare to conjure a phantom image...

On the other side of the Hundred Refinements Pavilion, a terrifying lion's head also appeared, but Chi Xiaomo was no pushover either. He directly attacked and dispersed it, and then shared it with the disciples.

Soon, a disciple of the Hundred Refinements Pavilion exclaimed in surprise, unable to hold back any longer.

"Ah!!!"

He opened his mouth, but instead, a radiant glow emanated from it, and at the same time, Dao principles emerged from within his body.

Immediately afterwards, his whole body turned red, as if he had been placed in molten lava and burned.

"It's so nutritious!"

Someone whispered, "This being was already a terrifying existence at the second level of the Sendai realm, and then it was cooked by a top-tier spiritual chef using a secret technique, causing its Dao principles to manifest..."

"This time, what we consumed was not just meat, but also the power and spiritual energy of a second-tier Sendai Demon Beast, as well as the manifested Dao principles!"

"That disciple is only at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage; he has eaten too much and is too weak to absorb the nutrients!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Several more disciples of the Hundred Refinements Pavilion couldn't help but scream loudly, and their mouths spewed out rays of light... Later on, it was no longer a matter of spewing out rays of light, but rather that various colored lights were constantly shooting out from their seven orifices!

However, they wouldn't be seriously injured or even killed as a result, but what is certain is that they wouldn't be able to enjoy the remaining lion's head meat.

"Indeed excellent!"

Lin Fan ate the most. As the original body, his cultivation level was already at the mid-stage of Void Refinement, so he would not easily experience a situation where his body could not absorb the nourishment!

At the same time, due to memory sharing...

Therefore, the flesh consumed by the deities in their mutual incarnations, and the fragments of the Dao they comprehend, can complement each other.

This resulted in Qi Zixiao comprehending far more Dao principles than anyone else!

She ate heartily, whether in her true form or in her avatar, without ever stopping!

Are you stuffed?!

How could such a Spiritual Object possibly overeat? As long as it can withstand it, it can eat as much as it wants without any problem. Once it enters its stomach, it will be broken down into various forms of energy!

Therefore, in the end, Qi Zixiao alone, including his true form and his avatar, almost ate the entire lion's head!

At that very moment, Lin Fan's body radiated divine light, and the Dao permeated the air, with purple energy almost bursting out of his body!

"Not good!"

Lin Fan was slightly startled.

If my purple aura were to be revealed, wouldn't that expose my identity?!

She even used the Golden Light Spell to imbue her body with golden light, trying her best to conceal the strange phenomenon of Purple Qi Comes From The East from the east!

In that instant, countless people saw a golden-purple aura soar into the sky. At the same time, Qi Zixiao's cultivation level broke through from the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm to the Void Refining Late Stage!

"He's broken through!"

"This Rogue Cultivator is truly lucky!"

"Could this guy be the chosen one? He was suspected of raiding the tomb of Ancient Great Emperor before, and now he's eaten half a lion's head and immediately broken through... You know, apart from him, no one else has broken through!"

"Yes, even Qi Zixiao..."

"No, Qi Zixiao's cultivation is very high, but his cultivation is relatively low, currently only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Moreover, he has eaten about the same amount of meat as Qi Zixiao, so it's reasonable for him to break through..."

Everyone was astonished.

Chi Xiaomo, in particular, was so angry he wanted to curse!

Are Braised Lion's Head expensive?

Now it seems really inexpensive, and worth the price!

Whether it's Demon Core still in someone's head or something that can help them comprehend the Dao, even if it's just a fragment, it will be of great benefit to their future cultivation, after all, it's a fragment of the Dao at the Sendai level!

So, the price of 300 million Spirit Stone isn't really that expensive, and it's not necessarily that painful.

The problem is, why can that Rogue Cultivator break through, but I can't?

This is outrageous!

Chi Xiaomo had considered continuing to eat, but... he really didn't dare to eat anymore. He knew very well that if he ate a few more bites, he would inevitably end up like his fellow disciples, spitting out rosy light from his mouth and getting 'stuffed' or 'drunk'.

"Hahaha!"

Just then, Lin Fan abruptly withdrew his breakthrough phenomenon, and burst into laughter, displaying unparalleled arrogance.

"As expected of their signature dish, it's really good!"

"Where's Laozi good wine? Hurry up and bring it up!"

"Eating meat without drinking alcohol? It'll be half the flavorful!"

"Sir, we'll pour you a drink right away."

The waitress immediately began to act, but...

Lin Fan, however, did not eat any more meat.

Although she could still eat quite a lot.

"I'd better leave half for that guy, so he won't hold a grudge and say I didn't share my delicious food with him."
