Grilled Beef and Delicious Powder

Inside the thatched cottage in the little valley, Little Fairy Doctor heard the commotion from the sky and came outside to look up.

A figure pierced through layers of mist and entered her view.

When she saw Xiao Yang, the corners of Little Fairy Doctor's lips could not help but curve upward slightly.

"You're back... What happened to your leg?"

When Xiao Yang landed, Little Fairy Doctor had just been about to greet him when she noticed something wrong with his leg.

She hurried forward with a worried expression, crouching beside Xiao Yang to examine his leg.

Xiao Yang shook his head and said with a smile.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury. I've already taken medicine."

"It'll fully recover after some rest."

Although Xiao Yang had taken several Third-Rank and Fourth-Grade Elixirs, and even a fifth-grade Bone-Healing Elixir.

His leg injury was still rather severe.

At the time, his leg had been nearly completely crushed, held together by only a tiny bit of flesh.

Even a fifth-grade elixir could not heal such a horrifying injury immediately.

At that moment, all of Xiao Yang's weight rested on his other leg.

However, he used his soul power to support part of his body, so it did not inconvenience him much.

Little Fairy Doctor did not believe Xiao Yang's words.

She stepped closer and carefully pulled up his pant leg.

Xiao Yang's left leg was covered in all kinds of gruesome wounds, and the muscles on it had been completely distorted.

Not only that, due to the elixirs, there were many freshly healed traces on Xiao Yang's left leg.

Just by seeing those marks, Little Fairy Doctor, who had been a doctor in Qingshan Town for years, could tell how serious the injury was.

If any other mercenary had suffered such injuries, they would have been crippled even if they survived.

Only because Xiao Yang himself was an alchemist could he treat such an injury.

Even Xiao Yang had bought the elixirs from the shop.

"How much must this have hurt?"

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Little Fairy Doctor's face. As she looked at Xiao Yang's left leg, her eyes were filled with heartache.

Xiao Yang pulled Little Fairy Doctor to her feet and lowered his pant leg.

"Alright, stop looking."

"I've already taken elixirs. After some time, this leg will recover to how it was before."

"It just looks ugly right now."

"Come on, come on. Look at what Magical Beast I killed today."

"It was the one that injured me."

"Let's make it our meal today."

As he spoke, Xiao Yang moved his thoughts.

Boom!

The corpse of a massive Forestbone Demon Bull appeared before them.

Looking at the corpse, which stood two or three stories tall, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes were full of shock.

"Th-This... you killed this?"

Although Little Fairy Doctor could not tell what order this Forestbone Demon Bull was, she knew that even ordinary Second Tier or Third Tier Forestbone Demon Bulls could not possibly be this large!

Just by looking at the Forestbone Demon Bull's torso, which had nearly lost half of itself, Little Fairy Doctor could imagine how fierce the battle had been.

"Come on, we're having beef today!"

There was indeed hardly any flesh left on the Forestbone Demon Bull's torso.

But its tongue and legs were still intact.

Xiao Yang also wanted to see what the meat of a Fourth-Order Magical Beast tasted like.

Looking at Xiao Yang, Little Fairy Doctor knew he was trying to divert her attention.

Suppressing the worry in her heart, she walked up to the Forestbone Demon Bull.

"Cut off some meat for tonight. I'll dig out this Forestbone Demon Bull's Magic Core."

After saying that to Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yang lightly pushed off with his right foot and landed directly atop the Forestbone Demon Bull's head.

With a thought, a huge saber appeared in his hand.

Xiao Yang poured his Dou Qi into the saber, and several artifact inscriptions instantly lit up across its surface as a layer of golden radiance covered it.

This was a Third-Rank Spirit Artifact he had previously used for practice, and it was worth quite a bit.

With a burst of force from Xiao Yang, the Forestbone Demon Bull's skull was sliced open as easily as tofu.

He locked onto the Magic Core inside the Forestbone Demon Bull's head with his soul power, then flicked it out with the saber.

Next, Xiao Yang casually chopped off the Forestbone Demon Bull's two horns.

Those two horns could also be used for crafting artifacts.

Not only that, Xiao Yang also cut off the Forestbone Demon Bull's tongue.

The tongue of a Fourth-Order bovine Magical Beast had to be delicious!

Holding a cow tongue bigger than his own leg, Xiao Yang jumped down from the Forestbone Demon Bull's head.

Little Fairy Doctor was currently holding an ordinary blade, gritting her teeth as she repeatedly drew it across one of the Forestbone Demon Bull's legs.

Yet even though the Forestbone Demon Bull was already dead, Little Fairy Doctor's cutting had only left a gash less than a centimeter deep in its hide. She had not even fully cut through the outer layer of skin!

When she saw Xiao Yang come down, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Little Fairy Doctor's face.

"This Magical Beast's hide is too thick. I can't cut it."

Watching this, Xiao Yang could not help but laugh.

"I'll do it. I nearly forgot how hard this thing is to cut."

As he spoke, Xiao Yang walked over to the bull's leg and casually drew the saber in his hand across it.

The bull leg, whose outermost layer Little Fairy Doctor had been unable to cut through, now split apart like tofu.

After cutting off one piece, Xiao Yang put the rest away.

If it tasted good, they could eat more later. If not, he could just throw it away.

Xiao Yang did not hand the bull leg to Little Fairy Doctor.

After all, he suspected that roasting the leg through with ordinary flames would be troublesome.

After having Little Fairy Doctor help set up a grill, he bought a First-Grade Elixir formula from the shop—Delicious Powder.

Yes, that was what this First-Grade Elixir was called.

More accurately, it was a seasoning. Who knew which genius had invented it.

Delicious Powder unusually required dozens of low-grade medicinal ingredients.

They were cheap anyway, so Xiao Yang simply bought some from the shop.

For him now, refining a First-Grade Elixir was extremely simple.

He did not even need an alchemy cauldron!

Little Fairy Doctor watched the scene from the side with curiosity.

"Aren't you going to grill beef? Why have you started refining medicine?"

"You don't need an alchemy cauldron to refine medicine?"

Xiao Yang did not hide anything and directly explained what Delicious Powder did.

Delicious Powder's effect was simple: it allowed medicinal power to blend into food, giving the food more energy.

After eating it, a Fighter's total Dou Qi might increase by a tiny amount.

Hearing that a First-Grade Elixir like this actually existed, Little Fairy Doctor was somewhat astonished.

"The alchemist who invented this First-Grade Elixir was probably supposed to be a chef, right?"

Before long, Little Fairy Doctor had assembled a huge grill.

Xiao Yang directly sliced off a chunk of meat from the bull leg and placed it on top.

He divided his attention between refining Delicious Powder and grilling the beef.

Soon, as time passed, the beef began to give off wave after wave of fragrance.

Xiao Yang and Little Fairy Doctor could tell just from the smell that the meat had to be delicious!

Just then, the Delicious Powder was finished as well, and a strange fragrance spread through the surroundings.
