Zhang Yu's Appetite

Over the past month, Zhang Yu's cultivation progress has slowed down due to physical depletion, and he has devoted more resources to strengthening his foundation and enhancing his physical strength.

Now, a month has passed, and although the progress has slowed down considerably, he has still reached the level of Dao Heart 13 (98.5%), Mana Power 573.4, Physical Strength 14.65, and Magical Power Quality 159%.

After mastering the Azure Vortex Qi Skill, Primal Chaos Fetal Breathing Scripture, and Heavenly Fortune Longevity Art, Zhang Yu completed the Breath Circulation Cultivation Method required for the fourth Qi Meridian Everflowing.

At this very moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the desolate room, practicing the Cultivation Method required for the fifth stage of Qi Vein Everflow!

A milky-white mist gushed from his mouth, swirling around his body like layers of clouds, forming a large external circulation!

This Cultivation Method, called the "Gang Qi External Circulation Breathing Technique," uses the external circulation of Martial Dao Gang Qi to assist in the gathering of Spiritual Energy!

In this way, while Breath Circulation in and out, one can hone their control over Martial Dao Gang Qi!

Zhang Yu chose this Breathing Technique because he thought that after his Physical Strength reached level 15, the transmission of physical power through Gang Qi would become extremely important, greatly improving work efficiency. Therefore, he should start practicing the related Gang Qi control as soon as possible!

Zhang Yu estimated in his mind, "In another month, I will be able to make up for most of my physical deficiencies, and my Physical Strength should be able to break through to level 15!"

Just as Zhang Yu Yuxin was cultivating, a message popped up in his Eye Remains. It was an invitation from Gongshu Jin!

Gongshu Jin: A student from the Artifact Crafting Department has just crafted a new Law Treasure and is holding an Treasure Appraisal Banquet, inviting Mo Mo, a student, to come and see it!

Since his last meeting with Director Gao, Zhang Yu has found himself seemingly categorized into the faction of Director Gao and Tu Lishan!

Mo Shangcan, who had already mastered the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, was also...

They're from this faction!

Gongshu Jin, who was ranked one place lower than Zhang Yu in the class, also joined this faction before Zhang Yu!

During this time, the two would occasionally greet Zhang Yu and tell him about the internal situation of the Civil Engineering Department from time to time!

Upon seeing the invitation sent by Gongshu Jin, Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat. "Treasure Appraisal Banquet?"

He asked: Is there anything to eat?

Gongshu Jin: It's a banquet hosted by my senior brother from the Artifact Crafting Department. Of course there's food, it's a buffet.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu was startled, then overjoyed!

In this Ten Thousand Laws University City, food is a luxury. The poor survive on medicine every day, while only the rich have the opportunity to eat, and the richer they are, the more they can eat!

A buffet, clearly, is something only the very wealthy can afford here. Upon hearing this, Yu Xing Sai exclaimed in surprise, "A buffet? It's a buffet? And it's a treat for guests?"

"This is... blatant flaunting of wealth!" Zhang Yu nodded in amazement, swallowing hard. He thought to himself, "Those people in the Artifact Crafting Department are really rich. I hope they can successfully craft Law Treasure every day and then throw a feast!"

Yu Xing Sai looked at Zhang Yu: "Brother, can you take me with you?"

Zhang Yu shook his head and said helplessly, "If I could bring people, I would definitely call everyone in my dorm, but even I was brought along by someone else!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xinghan sighed inwardly, "Alas, Li Fou is right. These wealthy people up there, even if they just slip a little bit of their money, it's enough for us to eat and drink to our hearts' content!"

"But you can't get into the circle of rich people by groveling! Only by relying on your own abilities, like Zhang Yu, can you get in!"

So, under Yu Xinghan's envious gaze, Zhang Yu continued to cultivate diligently and finally waited for the Treasure Appraisal Banquet on the second day!

Ten Thousand Laws University City, Layer 568!

Zhang Yu followed Gongshu Jin into a restaurant. This was Zhang Yu's first time visiting a restaurant in Ten Thousand Laws University City. Upon entering, he found that the restaurant was about the size of a classroom, but the decor was exquisite, and the air was filled with a strong aroma of food, causing Zhang Yu's mouth to water uncontrollably!

Inside the restaurant, more than ten people had gathered, with the three leaders standing in the center of the crowd, their rankings shining like light above their heads!

One of them was Mo Shang Jin from the Civil Engineering Department. Zhang Yu had previously seen another woman whose skin shimmered like the starry sky, whose white hair shone like jewels, and whose entire body exuded a brand and style of Dharma Skeleton.

The number is enough to make most college students tremble with fear and keep their distance, for fear that if they accidentally offend the other party, they will have to pay compensation until they go bankrupt!

Zhang Yu glanced at the ranking of 15th in the Artifact Crafting Department above the woman's head and knew that this woman was Ye Xingli from the Artifact Crafting Department, and also the organizer of this buffet!

Gongshu Jin, standing to the side, looked at Ye Xingli and felt his heart pounding faster and faster!

"All of her top-tier Dharma Skeleton are custom-made and limited editions... Compared to hers, everything I'm wearing is rubbish!"

"So beautiful... this woman is absolutely gorgeous. If I could Dual Cultivation with her even once, I wonder how much money I could get!"

As a Fourth Layer student who studied diligently from a young age and focused on cultivation all the way, Shu Jin has never been interested in Dual Cultivation. After all, he is not one of those art students who are trying to get into Joyous Union University!

But seeing Ye Xingli's wealth, he couldn't help but want to be slept with by her. After all, she was incredibly rich; the wealth emanating from her was so captivating that he couldn't look away!

Zhang Yu turned his gaze to the last man among the three, Cang Lanyu was ranked 9th in the Talisman Department!

As Zhang Yu's gaze swept over them, he could see every detail on the other person's clothes, face, hands, and even every single hair!

Dazzling light was flashing everywhere!

Those rays of light were projections from the depths of the Spirit Realm. They converged and intertwined in Zhang Yu's Eye Remains, eventually transforming into lines of mysterious patterns and characters!

The Heavenly Eye Magic Skeleton makes your world clearer.

The Dharma Skeleton (Buddhist shrine) is the top choice for locals and those on the Kunxu Second Layer. Not wearing it means you're not a local!

Watch the live stream on Taixu Illusion and experience the union of spirit and flesh...

Seeing all the advertisements on the other person's clothes, Zhang Yu quickly looked away, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, did he profit from those few glances?"

Gongshu Jin glanced at Cang Lanyu with envy. The other party possessed Advertisement Talisman bestowed by Orthodox God, and his entire body was constantly connected to the depths of the Spirit Realm. As long as he was under the shroud of the Spirit Realm, no matter when or where, all kinds of advertisements could be refreshed all over his body. The longer one looked at him, the more customized the advertisements would become, and the more powerful the allure would be.

"Just by watching him, he's making money; just by watching him, he's getting stronger."

Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "This is a man you wouldn't dare look directly at once he becomes your opponent!"

Just as Zhang Yu and Gongshu Jin were observing the people in the arena, the dozen or so men and women in the arena also noticed them!

With a faint smile, Ye Xingli, whose skin seemed to contain a flowing galaxy, said, "You two are late. You'll each have to eat a bowl of rice as punishment!"

As Zhang Yu looked at the food being served to him, he felt a rich aroma wafting towards him. Just smelling it made his mouth water and gave him a surge of energy!

Watching this scene, Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "Is this a punishment?"

Gongshu Jin knew that the food in front of him was no ordinary meal!

"The rice made from this Heaven Essence Rice is composed of highly compressed food essence in every grain. One grain is enough to feed a Qi Refining cultivator for three days and three nights!"

Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "If one eats too much, it may even cause indigestion, excessive Qi and Blood in the stomach, and dizziness!"

He knew that Foundation Establishment cultivators with insufficient appetite would experience dizziness and lightheadedness after eating only half a bowl of Heaven Essence Rice due to the enormous digestive burden. This was known as food dizziness!

Gongshu Jin thought to himself that most of the people in the restaurant were probably watching with amusement, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves by overeating!

After all, most students can't afford food on the Second Layer, and they don't train their digestive abilities, so their appetite is often very small, and they are prone to getting dizzy from eating!

In short, Gongshu Jin understood that once appetite and economic conditions were linked, the bigger one's appetite, the more respect one would receive, and the smaller one's appetite, the more one would be looked down upon. As for the practice of offering food as a form of respect or punishing one's appetite, these were all standard procedures. Just as Gongshu Jin was concentrating on his internal energy, preparing to have a big meal, he saw Zhang Yu reach out and take the rice bowl from the side, opening his mouth to swallow it in one gulp!

"No!" Gongshu Jin reached out to stop him, thinking to himself, "Does Zhang Yu not even know about Heaven Essence Rice?"

Zhang Yu swallowed half a bowl of rice in one gulp, and felt the aroma of the rice explode in his mouth. Each grain of sweet and soft rice flowed on his tongue, releasing endless flavors. But soon, he felt that the rice was particularly chewy, and even after chewing it a dozen times, he still could not chew it properly!

At the same time, an older student chuckled, "Take it easy. Heaven Essence Rice. You have to eat it in small bites, not gulp it down like that!"

The other students also started teasing, seemingly already imagining Zhang Yu looking dizzy in a moment!

But in the next moment, Zhang Yu swallowed the Heaven Essence Rice in his mouth without making a sound, and then swallowed the rest of the Heaven Essence Rice in the bowl in one gulp!

With the Foundation Establishment Peak digestive power brought by the University Sacred Body, Zhang Yu's digestive ability was already terrifyingly strong!

During his previous Outdoor Construction Site, he also incorporated the Corrosion Abyss Gelatin and No. 15 Spirit Law Secret Steel into his stomach and intestines, as if he had put a layer of weapons and armor on his stomach and intestines, turning his stomach and intestines from fighting bare-handed into fighting with weapons. When he went all out, he could even digest No. 20 Secret Steel!

At this moment, as his stomach began to move slightly, it was like a terrifying giant platter, completely crushing the Heaven Essence Rice he had swallowed and releasing its rich food essence!

In an instant, Zhang Yu felt streams of heat surging from his stomach, spreading throughout his limbs and bones. His body, as if parched land had received a timely rain, frantically absorbed these streams of heat!

After swallowing that big bowl of rice, Zhang Yu felt as if his body had taken a medicinal bath, his physical strength had increased, and he felt indescribably comfortable all over!

"Delicious, delicious, so delicious!"

"Aren't you going to eat?" Zhang Yu looked at Gongshu Jin, who was standing there in a daze, and took the bowl from him. "Then I'll eat it for you!"

Seeing Zhang Yu finish two bowls of Heaven Essence Rice and still seem unsatisfied, Ye Xingli's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. "Good appetite."

"Someone, bring this man more rice!"

Looking at the rice bowl that had been placed in front of him again, Zhang Yu laughed and said, "Rice without meat is just too boring!"

"That's easy!" Ye Xingli said loudly, "Give him another Dragon Liver Phoenix Gall!"

After saying that, she looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "Can you eat this?"

Zhang Yu said boldly, "Three more bowls of rice, and three Dragon Liver Phoenix Gall."
