After skillfully dealing with the wolf demon's entrails and other organs,
Deng Lin slung the remaining wolf demon flesh over his shoulder and carried the severed hind leg in his hand.
"Brother Ye, let's go! I left some seasonings with the main group! We'll roast this wolf demon and eat it directly in a little while!"
Deng Lin looked at Su Xian and said with a smile before hurrying toward the main group.
"Sure!" Su Xian nodded and followed behind Deng Lin.
Before long, Su Xian and Deng Lin returned to their team,
and everyone saw the demon corpse on Deng Lin's back and the wolf hide in Su Xian's hand!
Everyone immediately knew that the two of them had slain the demon!
Everyone was extremely excited, but they did not dare cheer,
for Green Dragon Mountain was extremely dangerous. Who knew what their cheers might attract?
The many herb gatherers could only exchange hushed words, their faces alight with joy.
Meanwhile, the many Skin Grinding Realm martial artists in the group looked at the enormous flesh on Deng Lin's back and could not help salivating!
This was demon flesh! It was rich in qi and blood! To martial artists, it was an incredible tonic!
After discussing it with Su Xian, Deng Lin handed the hind leg in his hands to the many Skin Grinding Realm martial artists and let them divide it among themselves.
As for Deng Lin and Su Xian, they went to an open area, arranged some firewood, set up a rack, and cut up the wolf demon's corpse.
After starting a fire, they began roasting the meat.
Soon, the meat on the rack began sizzling and dripping with oil! Waves of fragrance filled the air!
After Deng Lin sprinkled on various seasonings, he took a bite first, then handed a large piece of the wolf demon's hind leg to Su Xian.
Su Xian took it. His nostrils twitched as he caught the enticing fragrance, and he could not help salivating!
Then he took a bite, and his expression changed!
It was not because it was too delicious, but because the meat was far too tough and chewy!
Su Xian laboriously tore off a piece of meat from the roasted leg in his hand and chewed it a few times!
Only after chewing for a long while did he swallow the meat in his mouth.
"This meat!"
Su Xian frowned and could not help looking at Deng Lin. Although the meat smelled incredibly fragrant after roasting, it was simply far too tough and chewy!
"There was nothing I could do. This is a demon equivalent to the Muscle Forging Realm. The flesh on its body is simply this chewy!" Deng Lin explained helplessly.
"But the main problem is that conditions here are limited! Once we return, we'll use various ingredients to stew this meat. It will be much easier to chew!" Deng Lin added.
Looking at the roasted leg in his hand, Su Xian shook his head and continued putting it into his mouth, tearing off another piece of roasted meat.
He chewed it thoroughly before swallowing it.
This roasted leg was indeed extremely difficult to chew. If Su Xian had not been a peak Muscle Forging Realm martial artist with exceptionally strong teeth, he might not even have been able to chew it apart.
That group of Skin Grinding Realm martial artists would probably have to expend tremendous effort to chew through this flesh!
However, the effect was truly excellent. The flesh was packed with abundant blood qi!
Compared with ordinary meals, it provided far greater assistance to cultivation!
Su Xian could only endure the discomfort and finish the roasted leg in his hand.
Deng Lin also grabbed a piece of roasted meat and chewed away with great relish!
Deng Lin had not roasted much meat. After cutting up the rest,
he found a container among the equipment carried by the herb gatherers, packed the meat inside, and handed it all to Su Xian.
Deng Lin kept only a small piece of the wolf demon's flesh.
Su Xian shook his head and divided a fair amount of the flesh back to Deng Lin. After all, Deng Lin had contributed as well!
Afterward, everyone resumed moving. The herb gatherers gathered herbs, while the martial artists kept watch over their surroundings.
Feeling the qi and blood surging through his body, Su Xian could not help nodding. The qi and blood provided by this roasted wolf demon felt greater than that from several meals!
The qi and blood power he had expended while slaying the wolf demon not long ago had already been fully restored.
"It is time to improve once more!" With a thought, Su Xian summoned the Demon Strategy.
Looking at the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual within it, Su Xian decisively invested lifespan into it.
[You began cultivating the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual, tempering every major tendon in your body with the method of refining tendons through qi and blood that you comprehended!] [Year 20! You tempered every major tendon in your body to its current limit! You vaguely sensed a bottleneck!] [Year 50! During this period, you continuously increased the qi and blood power within your body, then used the enhanced qi and blood power to temper your major tendons to their limit! You repeated this cycle over and over!] [On this day, you finally sensed that bottleneck clearly and even touched it!] [You poured out all the qi and blood in your body and charged at that barrier!] [Bang! You failed! The barrier merely trembled slightly, but was not pushed open!] [You were not discouraged and continued increasing the qi and blood power within your body!] [Year 75! The qi and blood power within your body had reached the absolute limit! Your understanding of the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual had also reached an unsurpassable level!] [Feeling your condition, you felt that the time had come! You began charging through the barrier!] [Bang! You succeeded! After seventy-five years of accumulating qi and blood power, you finally broke through the barrier!] [Riding this breakthrough, you finally completed the Tendon Refining chapter of the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual!] [Your cultivation broke through to the early Tendon Refining Realm! Your lifespan increased by twenty years!]
Seeing that he had broken through to the Tendon Refining Realm, Su Xian hurriedly stopped pouring in lifespan.
"Breaking through to the Tendon Refining Realm actually increased my lifespan by twenty years?"
The first thing Su Xian noticed was that his lifespan had increased by another twenty years, and he was instantly delighted.
His lifespan had now returned to forty-one years!
Compared with when he had first transmigrated, the gap was no longer that great.
After being happy for a while, Su Xian could not help shaking his head again. Seventy-five whole years!
That was an entire lifetime for many people!
Yet it had only allowed him to break through from Perfection of Marrow Forging Realm to the early Tendon Refining Realm!
Were the barriers between major realms truly this difficult to cross?
Or was it because the Dragon Tiger Marrow Forging Tendon Refining Secret Manual was incomplete, causing him to expend so much lifespan to break through?
Su Xian had no way of knowing.
"Forget it! I used the Demon Lifespan anyway. It doesn't hurt me!" Su Xian consoled himself.
"Tendon Refining Realm!"
Su Xian lightly clenched his right hand, then suddenly threw a punch. The sound of it splitting the air rang out,
and the speed of Su Xian's punch was astonishingly fast, the force of the punch blowing away leaves from a nearby tree.
Feeling the changes in his body, Su Xian could not help nodding.
"Mm! The major tendons in my body have been refined by qi and blood power and become incredibly elastic!"
"And the tendons and muscles throughout my entire body have become one integrated whole!"
"The force I can unleash has increased dozens of times!"
"My speed is on an entirely different level!"
"And my perception has improved tremendously as well!"
Su Xian closed his eyes and listened to the crystal-clear calls of birds and insects around him. He could even hear sounds from far away with perfect clarity.
"If I encountered that wolf demon again, I should be able to discover where it was hiding now!"
Su Xian thought to himself. That wolf demon had hidden not far from their team,
but the former Su Xian had been unable to detect it. Only by having Deng Lin willingly act as bait had they managed to lure the wolf demon out.
If it were the current Su Xian, he only needed to concentrate his qi and blood power around his ears
and should be able to discover the wolf demon's trail! There would be no need for such trouble!
