The Heng Ha Generals were terrified; they had suffered under this rolling pin before.

They remembered one time they had eaten until they were stuffed, unable to eat any more.

They had almost been beaten until they vomited!

At this moment, they felt lingering fear and mourned for Di Jun and Taiyi.

Bang! Bang!

Jiang Ping struck down with his staff twice.

Di Jun and Taiyi stood tall, chests out, not dodging at all.

"Well, well, you've gotten brave, not even dodging."

Jiang Ping was incredibly depressed.

Di Jun felt the light force on his head and scorned inwardly.

This little bit of strength was like a tickle, boring.

Taiyi was also weary; how long would this act have to go on?

I think this one is truly just an ordinary being.

It's one thing to have an ordinary origin, but it seems his mind is also a bit abnormal.

It's no wonder, after all, living with Kunpeng and these other Quasi-Saints, even the most ordinary beings would probably become extraordinary.

But at the very least, his mind shouldn't be problematic.

Sigh, if it weren't for Kunpeng's serious instructions, not to mention the threats and bribes, Di Jun and I wouldn't have to pretend to be friends with this idiot.

Suddenly, Di Jun's body trembled.

Taiyi's head also felt heavy.

They keenly sensed that the vitality within their bodies was rapidly draining!

Waves of weakness were quickly assailing them!

They surged like a tide, and a sense of hunger immediately filled their minds.

Di Jun and Taiyi were utterly horrified; what was happening?

We are beings with the origins of innate deities, drinking dew by day and cultivating heavenly spirits by night, how could we have desires for food!

Before the two could recover and understand the cause of all this.

Jiang Ping struck down with his staff again.

As this blow landed, they staggered, their three legs weakened, almost tottering.

The vitality within their bodies was rapidly draining; they sensed it carefully, and it was all being devoured by the unremarkable wooden staff in Jiang Ping's hand.

This, this is too terrifying!

What kind of Spirit Treasure is this wooden staff, to possess such a bizarre divine ability?

It can devour vitality?

Di Jun recalled carefully, his heart shocked.

This is the Spirit Wood Staff!

Among the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, the one who controlled the most mysterious Law of Life, The Companion Spirit Treasure of the Spirit Wood Daoist!

Legend has it that the Spirit Wood Daoist had long since perished, and his Companion Spirit Treasures had also vanished.

Why would it now appear in the hands of an ordinary being?

Taiyi was even more astonished; although the Spirit Wood Staff was extraordinary, how could this ordinary being wield it?

He also couldn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations.

After two consecutive blows, Di Jun and Taiyi initially didn't care, but now, they were extremely terrified, as they had lost at least five hundred years of lifespan!

Although with their realm and cultivation, they could almost live as long as heaven and earth.

Yet this Spirit Wood Staff, with just a light strike, without even revealing the slightest bit of its power, could directly devour five hundred years of their lifespan. If it were fully activated, how terrifying would that be?

It was definitely a Spirit Treasure that could threaten them!

At the very least, their physical bodies were experiencing a brief but intense weakness that needed to be replenished quickly.

Within Di Jun and Taiyi's bodies, almost all their spiritual energy had been devoured. The endless weakness and hunger made them feel unprecedented fear.

This is too terrifying. If this happened during a battle with someone, they would surely be defeated and at the mercy of their opponent!

"Heh heh, third time's the charm, I'll only hit you three times at most. If you don't eat, I'll switch to some other feed for you."

Jiang Ping chuckled softly and made as if to strike again.

Di Jun and Taiyi were filled with dread and felt incredibly wronged.

Please don't hit again. One more strike and I probably won't be able to stand. Then you'll have to feed me yourself!

A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. I'll eat it then.

Besides, Kong Xuan and the others ate it too, so it's not embarrassing!

Di Jun and Taiyi forced themselves to hold on, mustered a breath, quickly moved further away, and frantically began pecking at the feed, swallowing it in large gulps.

Hungry, truly so hungry.

Taiyi wolfed down his food, but still managed to chat, "Di Jun, is it tasty?"

Di Jun nodded frantically, "Delicious! It tastes really good!"

It seems we were really hungry, so hungry we were practically delirious.

We're actually eating this disgusting stuff so heartily!

Huh?

What is this green, round thing?

Huh?

What is this white thing with holes in it?

Di Jun and Taiyi grew more confused as they ate. With their experience, they couldn't even discern the origin of these things.

Jiang Ping watched the two three-legged chickens eat with great joy.

It seems this Pet Quick Training and Taming Manual truly has its merits.

Look, it instantly cured the two three-legged chickens' picky eating habits.

Excellent, it has great potential.

This book must be kept; it can't be used to wipe butts or as firewood.

After all that fuss, Jiang Ping was also a bit tired.

He tapped the large basin with a wooden stick, making a clanging sound.

Di Jun and Taiyi inwardly tensed, trembling, afraid of being hit again unexpectedly.

"You two little chickens, remember to finish this. Heng Ha Generals, entertain your friends well. I'm going to rest for a bit. Don't disturb me. Da Huang, guard the door, don't let any thieves in."

The few of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Jiang Ping enter the room.

Scary, truly scary!

After eating for a while, Di Jun and Taiyi suddenly realized their vitality had recovered significantly.

The hunger and weakness were almost completely gone.

This is truly miraculous.

They had initially thought that the consumption this time would require a large amount of spiritual roots and elixirs to recover.

After all, five hundred years of lifespan were also devoured simultaneously.

They hadn't expected it to recover on its own.

Could it be related to what they ate?

Di Jun and Taiyi re-examined the feed in the large basin.

Earlier, they hadn't figured out the two green and white things.

"Kong Xuan, what is this green thing?"

"Oh, these are lotus seeds from the small pond. I don't know why, but hundreds always grow every time. I'm already sick of them."

"Lotus seeds? They don't look like ordinary lotus seeds!"

Di Jun quickly ran to the edge of the small pond and sensed them carefully. His expression changed drastically.

"This is a Twenty-Four Petals Green Lotus!"

"Judging by its quality, if nourished by immeasurable Creation power and Chaos power, it's no less than a Chaos Green Lotus!"

"This is too incredible!"

"Since the Chaos Green Lotus shattered, there hasn't been a green lotus of this quality in the Primordial Era!"

Di Jun was greatly shocked, muttering to himself incessantly.

At this moment, he saw Taiyi frantically pecking at them and became furious.

"Taiyi, why are you only picking out the lotus seeds? Leave a couple for me."

After speaking, Di Jun ran back quickly and rushed to grab the last two lotus seeds left in the basin.

Di Jun shook his head regretfully. What a pity, what a shame. If he had known he would get to eat such rare lotus seeds, he would have been willing to be beaten a couple more times.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng chuckled, "The master was begging you to eat them several times before, and you only got hit because you refused. Yet you've become addicted to being beaten. Your bones are truly..."

Di Jun felt ashamed. Yes, I am a masochist!

There was such a great opportunity right before me, and I had to be beaten before I'd eat it. Now that I want to eat them, they're gone.

"The white one is the fruit of the green lotus. They were born from the same root!" Kong Xuan said calmly.
