Monster Beast Blood and Flesh and Yellow Dragon Pill

Back in the residential area.

Zhao Huaian was in an excellent mood.

For one, he had completed three consecutive tasks, earning himself three months of dedicated cultivation time.

For another, during this outing, he had successfully eliminated Lin Zihao, that hidden threat lurking in the shadows.

With Lin Zihao killed and his body disposed of without a trace, Zhao Huaian could now truly rest easy, focusing solely on cultivation from here on out.

Entering his room, he looked at the ten jin of Black Wind Boar Meat in his hands and couldn't help but salivate.

Ever since joining the Greenwood Sect, he hadn't tasted any mortal food, subsisting almost entirely on Grain Abstinence Pills.

Over a year of eating Grain Abstinence Pills every day had left Zhao Huaian's palate utterly bored.

"Tier One Mid-grade Monster Beast Meat... I wonder what it tastes like. Liu Bohu said this Tier One Mid-grade Monster Beast Blood and Flesh is a great tonic for early to mid Qi Refining cultivators..."

Zhao Huaian channeled his spiritual energy, turning it into a sharp blade, and quickly cut the ten jin of Black Wind Boar Meat into egg-sized chunks.

Free Monster Beast Meat was not something to pass up.

Zhao Huaian wanted to taste what Black Wind Boar Meat was like.

And also see if this Tier One Mid-grade Black Wind Boar Meat could boost his cultivation.

Finding a few long wooden sticks, he quickly skewered the cut-up ten jin of Black Wind Boar Meat into large kebabs.

Though there was a stove in the room, Zhao Huaian had no cooking utensils prepared.

So the best option was to barbecue it—simple and convenient.

Zhao Huaian channeled his spiritual energy, conjuring a massive, blazing flame that rapidly seared the skewers of meat.

As time passed under the intense fire, the bright red chunks turned slightly golden, releasing an enticing aroma that stirred the appetite.

"So fragrant. Today, I can finally feast to my heart's content."

Zhao Huaian couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Without a second thought, he grabbed a large skewer and devoured it ravenously.

The roasted Black Wind Boar Meat was tender and flavorful, delicious even without any seasoning.

Chewing the meat heartily, Zhao Huaian could clearly feel waves of faint spiritual energy surging within his body.

Especially when he swallowed the Black Wind Boar Meat, warm currents flowed through his stomach, and the blood and qi in his body slowly rose and boiled.

"Not bad. Truly worthy of being Monster Beast Blood and Flesh. Though the boost to spiritual energy is minimal, it greatly aids the body's physique and blood qi."

Chewing the meat vigorously and sensing the changes in his body, Zhao Huaian's eyes grew brighter.

Soon, under his voracious appetite, the full ten jin of Black Wind Boar Meat was devoured entirely.

"That's enough. Ten jin is just right—any more and I couldn't stomach it."

Though ten jin of Black Wind Boar Meat seemed like a lot, Zhao Huaian, with his cultivation, had an appetite far beyond his mortal days.

And this was Tier One Mid-grade Monster Beast Blood and Flesh; if it were mortal food, he could easily down several times this amount.

Patting his belly contentedly, Zhao Huaian wiped his mouth, savoring the lingering taste.

"Full and satisfied. Time to cultivate and see if this Tier One Mid-grade Monster Beast Blood and Flesh has any other effects."

He muttered to himself.

Without hesitation, Zhao Huaian immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began rapidly cycling the Azure Wood Art.

As the Great Accomplishment-level Azure Wood Art churned continuously, the surrounding spiritual energy was greedily drawn in and absorbed by Zhao Huaian.

With ten jin of Black Wind Boar Meat in his stomach, even without taking any pills, Zhao Huaian clearly felt his spiritual energy circulation speed up noticeably.

This change made his eyes light up, and he gained a newfound respect for Monster Beast Blood and Flesh.

After cycling his spiritual energy through one full circuit and adjusting his state to its peak, Zhao Huaian stopped being stingy and directly swallowed a Tier One Mid-grade Yellow Dragon Pill.

As the Tier One Mid-grade Elixir Pill entered his mouth, Zhao Huaian immediately felt a distinct change.

Under the Medicinal Effect, he sensed an endless generation of spiritual energy within him, while the rate of absorbing external spiritual energy increased two to three times faster than before.

Three days passed quickly.

During these three days, Zhao Huaian stayed cooped up in his room, focused entirely on cultivation.

Under such intense training, that bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills was Consumed in just three days.

And the results were quite evident.

In just three days, thanks to the combined effects of the Yellow Dragon Pills and Black Wind Boar Meat, Zhao Huaian's cultivation proficiency had increased by five points.

This improvement surprised and excited him deeply.

After all, he was now at Qi Refining Layer Five, and the further he progressed, the more spiritual energy he needed.

Yet, with the Yellow Dragon Pills and Black Wind Boar Meat working together, he had gained five proficiency points in three days.

That meant, if he could keep taking Yellow Dragon Pills and large amounts of Monster Beast Blood and Flesh, with both complementing each other, then, at this cultivation speed, he could break through to Qi Refining Layer Six in at most two months.

"Two months!"

"Cultivation really does come down to resources and talent!"

"If I can break through in just two months, wouldn't that be even faster than my breakthrough from Qi Refining Layer Four to Qi Refining Layer Five?"

Thinking of such a terrifying cultivation speed, Zhao Huaian was secretly stunned.

At the same time, he once again deeply felt the importance of having enough cultivation resources.

"Double-pronged approach—from now on, I'll not only buy elixir pills but also purchase higher-grade Monster Beast Blood and Flesh."

Zhao Huaian stroked his chin, silently deciding that in the future, he would buy not only elixir pills but also more advanced Monster Beast Blood and Flesh.

Only then could he maintain such a terrifying cultivation speed, raising his cultivation to a higher level as quickly as possible and giving himself enough strength.

"But this will put a huge strain on my savings."

"Still, what of it... who could resist such a terrifying rate of cultivation improvement?"

"At worst, I'll just set aside more time to draw spirit talismans. With my current Art of Drawing Spirit Talismans, I should be able to sustain this heavy daily consumption."

Zhao Huaian thought, calculating his future plans and prospects.

As he laid out his daily schedule and plan for the coming days, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

As long as he strictly followed the cultivation plan he had set, then in the days ahead, the Spirit Stones he earned from selling talismans would surely be enough to sustain this extremely resource-intensive cultivation—and he could even save up some Spirit Stones for emergencies.

No time like the present.

Thinking of the plan in his mind, Zhao Huaian calmed his mood, adjusted his mindset, and immediately bent over the wooden table to draw his specialty—the Water Arrow Talisman.
