Cooking Bones

"If you like it, I'll provide you with this kind of food every day from now on!"

As for the Mad Old Man who had saved his life,

Su Fang had a fairly favorable impression of him. Although he had taken a blow from his stick, it had also allowed him to discover the evil spirit on his body.

Su Fang was rather glad about that.

After unexpectedly comprehending Soul Art, he had indirectly gained the ability to see these "Specters."

It was equivalent to obtaining an ability similar to Yin-Yang Eyes.

For all of this, he still had to thank the Mad Old Man before him.

Thus, Su Fang had no intention of teaching the Mad Old Man a lesson.

The Mad Old Man made short work of the food, even licking his pitch-black fingers afterward.

"Delicious, delicious, even better than poop!"

The Mad Old Man patted his belly in satisfaction, then got up, picked up his broom, and seemed ready to leave immediately.

But how could Su Fang, who had questions waiting for answers, let the Mad Old Man leave so easily?

With a flip of his hand, two more portions of food appeared.

"Come, come, Mad Old Man, don't leave yet. Eat while we chat!"

"How are you able to see demons, monsters, ghosts, and spirits?"

After obtaining Soul Art, a profound and mysterious secret had appeared in Su Fang's mind.

The human body had three treasures: essence, qi, and spirit.

Yet Soul Art lay beyond those three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, and even seemed to stand alongside them.

Su Fang had heard of things like Primordial Spirits and souls in his previous life, but he had never studied them closely.

"Soul Art tells of cultivation methods of the soul path, yet the former owner of this body cultivated for so many years without ever encountering any information on this. It seems Soul Art has also declined in the outside world—perhaps its inheritance has even been severed."

The Mad Old Man did not have so many twists and turns in his heart.

As he held the food and ate until his mouth was slick with grease, he explained why he could see evil souls.

"That day, Little Six and I went to sweep fallen leaves. He actually hid food from me.

"He sneaked into a cave by himself and fished several bones out of an enormous lunchbox!"

The Mad Old Man bit into the unknown beast leg in his hand. Only after swallowing that mouthful of meat did he continue:

"I rushed over in one bound, and while he wasn't paying attention, I snatched all those bones!

"Don't be fooled by the golden light scattered across those bones. Once boiled, they don't taste like anything at all!"

Boiled?

Bones?

A cave?

Were they human bones, or the bones of some wild beast?

Come to think of it, were there demon beasts in the [Gods and Devils Cemetery]?

Su Fang felt that the bones the Mad Old Man had stolen were most likely human bones.

Boiling human bones... Was this Mad Old Man calcium-deficient or something?

Chen Fan looked doubtfully at the Mad Old Man before him.

Was there somewhere else in the Gods and Devils Cemetery with fire?

"Then how did you boil them? Or is there fire somewhere?"

Su Fang looked eagerly at the Mad Old Man before him. If he could find a natural fire source, he would surely be able to refine some magic treasures.

Then, even if he encountered evil spirits, he would have the means to guard against them.

"What fire? When Little Six went outside to look for me, I cleaned out that lunchbox, threw in some vegetables, then added a splash of bird pee..."

Upon hearing the Mad Old Man's outrageous stunt, Su Fang froze.

Which being buried within the Gods and Devils Cemetery had not once possessed world-shaking fame? Which had not been a peerless genius of their era?

Yet even in death, they could not rest in peace, their bones being... doused with urine.

If that great being had a spirit in heaven and learned of this, he would probably be so furious that he came back to life.

"Fine, then. Keep playing. I'll be sweeping fallen leaves up ahead. If you need anything later, you can come find me there."

Su Fang could tell that, whether the Mad Old Man was truly mad or merely pretending, he would not be able to get anything more out of him for the time being.

So he simply stopped asking.

After all, the Gods and Devils Cemetery did not contain only the Mad Old Man.

He could fully spend a small price to find others and uncover the secrets within the Gods and Devils Cemetery. After bidding farewell to the Mad Old Man, Su Fang watched with his own eyes as the Mad Old Man, whose cultivation might have reached the Martial Sect, tucked his broom under his arm and ran off into the Gods and Devils Cemetery.

"I was still too careless. For the Gods and Devils Cemetery to be so deeply feared by the beings of this world, it must have its terrifying aspects!"

"Moreover, when it comes to grave robbing, every great being would take precautions.

"The difficulties involved are far more than just evil spirits. There might even be other great terrors!"

At that moment, Su Fang raised his head and glanced at the Gods and Devils Cemetery beneath its dense, overcast clouds.

He had the feeling that this time, he had touched upon some incredible secret.

But after Su Fang had walked far away,

the Mad Old Man, who had originally been acting crazed, appeared here once more.

He was standing precisely where Su Fang had killed that evil spirit.

At this moment, not a trace of madness could be seen on the Mad Old Man's face. Instead, he wore an exceedingly strange smile.

"In the Gods and Devils Cemetery, he encountered an evil spirit yet did not die, and he could even summon flames..."

"Could he be the person I've been looking for?"

"The Yin Baleful Qi is growing more and more abundant. If I don't begin soon, I'm afraid I won't live to see that day!"

"A discarded disciple of the Violet Star Palace, huh? That is quite a fitting identity..."

By the time Su Fang returned to Old Man Meng's home, dinner had begun.

This time, as Su Fang surveyed the crowd, he discovered that quite a few people were also watching him.

"The aura around you is not right!"

Su Fang had only just received a portion of food and had not yet had time to speak with the others when Old Man Meng stopped him.

"Senior Brother Luo noticed that I had already suffered erosion from the Solar Stone, so he specially gave me some pills!"

"That's why Brother Meng feels that my aura is somewhat off."

Su Fang laughed it off, hoping to dispel Old Man Meng's suspicions.

Old Man Meng let his eyelids droop and gave the young man before him a meaningful look. He did not continue probing. Instead, he spoke in a grave tone:

"This is the cemetery of Gods and Devils, and also the cemetery of all living beings... If some matters are taken too far, the backlash they provoke is absolutely not something you can resist!"

After saying that, Old Man Meng walked away without looking back.

Watching Old Man Meng's hunched body and somewhat aged figure, Su Fang always felt that this fellow should know something.

"My current bargaining chips are insufficient, and my cultivation is still too weak... Once my cultivation breaks through to the Martial Sect, I'll seek out this Old Man Meng and properly get to the bottom of things!"

Su Fang secretly made up his mind. He would certainly have to thoroughly comprehend the Creation Golden Core. Only then could he uncover some of the secrets of the Gods and Devils Cemetery.

"Only then will I be able to enter the deeper reaches of the Gods and Devils Cemetery, find the treasures of those Gods and Devils, comprehend those treasures, and thereby increase my strength!"

Just as Su Fang, carrying his food, was about to return to his room, he suddenly spotted a strange person.
