After washing up, shaving off his beard, and trimming his long hair, he looked much more spirited.
In the end, Yibao, who called herself Wu Chu's little wife, had won the right to shave him. Little Moon Spirit was actually quite uncompetitive by nature.
However, when it came to food, Little Moon Spirit seemed rather persistent. For instance, she had never forgotten about eating that Azure Dragon.
Wu Chu cast a Water Mirror Art and looked at the person in the mirror. His face had sharp, well-defined features, his body was tall and lean, neither fat nor thin, and his muscles were evenly proportioned. The corners of his lips could not help but curl upward.
Just think, if he had possessed such a good physique back then, why would he have worried about not being able to make money while lying down? Unfortunately, money no longer held any meaning for him now.
Moreover, there was no one in this world who could let him live comfortably while lying down. In this Primordial World, there simply was no market demand for that.
As usual, he went to the lakeside to get used to the surge of strength inside him. Then, after eating the fresh mushroom braised pork belly Little Moon Spirit had carefully prepared for him, Wu Chu was urged into picking up his cleaver and heading toward the Azure Dragon hanging from the distant mountaintop.
Wu Chu still could not lift Little Moon Spirit's Spirit Prime Sword. He had no idea why her sword was so heavy. Otherwise, given the Spirit Prime Sword's sharpness, it should have been able to cut through dragonhide.
Wu Chu felt that with his current strength, lifting several hundred pounds should not have been a problem. Yet the seemingly delicate Spirit Prime Sword was far heavier than he had imagined.
On the other hand, the cleaver that had once been difficult for him even to lift now felt almost weightless and unsatisfying in his hand.
It had to be said that in this Primordial World, it was quite easy for an ordinary person to grow stronger. All they had to do was keep eating.
Of course, the prerequisite was having a good stomach capable of digesting innate substances.
Wu Chu felt that his stomach had probably mutated after coming to this world.
Though he did not know whether this mutation came from transmigration itself, from that Merit Golden Light, or from those Purple Jade Spirit Crabapples.
In any case, before obtaining or comprehending a true cultivation method, being able to digest those innate substances and extract enough energy from them to improve his physique was the foundation for his survival in this primitive wilderness world.
Little Moon Spirit used the Cloud-Riding Mist Art to carry Wu Chu through the air. Yibao sat on Wu Chu's shoulder, her soft pink bare feet dangling crossed beneath her while her hands rested on his shoulders.
Wu Chu lowered his head to look at the forests and mountains below, savoring the novelty brought by the Cloud-Riding Mist Art. He knew this technique as well, but his magical power could not support prolonged flight.
As he looked around, he smacked his lips and said, "Little Moon Spirit, is Dang Kang Meat tastier than bear meat? Of course, don't compare it with bear paws."
"If bear paws are excluded, then Dang Kang Meat is indeed more delicious."
"Then go catch a few female Dang Kangs later. Let's raise a few in an enclosure. What do you think?" Wu Chu offered Little Moon Spirit a rather constructive suggestion.
Little Moon Spirit asked in confusion, "But if A Chu wants to eat Dang Kang Meat, can't he just catch one in the forest? Why raise them ourselves?"
In this nearly uninhabited wilderness world, that argument truly made perfect sense. For a moment, Wu Chu had no idea how to refute her.
Seeing Wu Chu at a loss for words, Yibao covered her little mouth and giggled. She actually understood that Wu Chu was simply being influenced by an old farmer's mindset. Whenever he found something good, he wanted to raise some or plant some. It was a traditional notion deeply rooted in the soul of the Chinese people.
As a native of this world, Little Moon Spirit found it difficult to understand such thinking.
"Mm, you have a very good point." After pausing, Wu Chu continued, "But we should grow some ginger, scallions, and garlic ourselves, right? If we don't grow more, we might eat them into extinction. Then it'll be troublesome if we have to search elsewhere. The outside world is so dangerous, isn't it?"
After thinking it over, Little Moon Spirit nodded. "Mm, A Chu is right."
As she spoke, she looked up at the Azure Dragon hanging from the mountaintop ahead. She recalled how the great figures of the Dragon Clan had recently offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, established the supreme Dragon Court, and taken command of the Four Seas' aquatic tribes... Those huge creatures ruled the outside now! It really was dangerous!
As they flew, Little Moon Spirit's brows gradually furrowed. When they were about five li away from the Azure Dragon's corpse, she stopped and said, "A Chu, the lingering might of the Azure Dragon's corpse is too fierce. I can only wait here."
Wu Chu silently sensed the surroundings and found it strange. Though the closer they came to the dragon corpse, the fewer snakes, insects, rats, and ants they saw, he truly could not feel any lingering might. At most, when he looked at the Azure Dragon, he worried whether it was really dead.
He nodded. "Mm, then stay here and use that lingering might to temper your will. Yibao and I will go over. It's just that I'm afraid I still won't be able to cut through its hide."
He had no hope of cutting through the dragon scales. As for whether he could pry them open, he did not have the slightest confidence either. Back then, he could not even pull feathers from a wild chicken, let alone deal with a dragon.
No matter how weak it was, it was still an Azure Dragon at the Golden Immortal level!
Thus, when he ran and jumped through the increasingly verdant forest, which had already begun recovering its vitality, and reached the Azure Dragon's side with far less effort than before, he felt somewhat uncertain as he looked at the seamless layer of dragon scales covering its body.
Carefully, he reached out and touched the smooth, icy, jade-like dragon scales, as though worried he might wake the Azure Dragon. Then he slid the cleaver through the gaps between the scales and tried to pry them up with all his strength. Finally, Wu Chu could only shake his head helplessly.
Even with the strength of his current Innate Realm, he could not remove the layered dragon scales covering its body. And the cleaver was not long enough to reach the dragonhide hidden within the gaps between the scales.
"Yibao, do you have any ideas?" Wu Chu asked Yibao on his shoulder. "Come to think of it, you've become a Merit Spiritual Treasure. Don't tell me you don't have any exclusive divine abilities?"
"I..."
Yibao opened her mouth, unsure how to answer. Saying she had no divine abilities seemed a little unacceptable, but saying she did have them was not quite right either, since she truly did not possess any offensive divine abilities.
Come to think of it, what offensive power could a phone have? Could it really be used like a brick to smash things? What if it got damaged by accident?
Yibao could not help rubbing her chin as she swept her gaze up and down the enormous Azure Dragon. Meanwhile, Wu Chu began walking along the dragon corpse toward its head.
After a long while, Yibao slapped her palm and exclaimed excitedly, "Although I really don't have any offensive divine abilities, I can analyze things! According to my analysis, its weak point is its mouth. You may not be able to cut through its hide, but cutting off its tongue shouldn't be a problem."
