Yue Buqun and Zuo Lengchan left with mixed feelings.
Having met high-level Big Shot, their mindset has Changes considerably.
"In the face of absolute power, both schemes and plots are meaningless."
This is their deepest realization at this moment.
They didn't know how strong Ling Yi was, but they did know that outside of Central Province, Ling Yi was invincible.
Putting everything else aside, the things Ling Yi took out were things they had never seen or heard of before.
As for what level Ling Yi belongs to in Central Province, they couldn't guess, after all, there are "immortals" in Central Province.
Meanwhile, Ling Yi had already started eating hot pot.
"Is hot pot a must when traveling to ancient times?!" Ling Yi murmured to himself, smelling the familiar aroma of hot pot.
Ling Yi had read plenty of online novels in his previous life, and almost every ancient time-travel novel featured hot pot, Potato, sweet potatoes, and the phrase "Everyone has their own unique talents" was always used to describe them...
Ling Yi had previously looked down on these Protagonist, but now that it's his turn, he finds them incredibly appealing.
Unfortunately, the food in ancient times was really not very appealing.
The dish was like clear soup, bland as water, bitter and astringent, and difficult to swallow.
There are few edible ingredients and few seasonings available, the most crucial of which is salt.
Due to technological limitations, some harmful minerals in ancient salt could not be extracted, resulting in a bitter taste.
Even so, many ordinary people couldn't afford salt, but people can't live without salt, so the poor bought salt bags instead.
What is a salt belt? It's made by dissolving salt in water, soaking strips of cloth in the solution, and then removing and drying them after a period of time.
A salt bag can last for one or two months. Each time you cook, just put the salt bag in, rinse it, and then take it out. Repeat this process.
Over time, you can imagine what the salty taste of that salt belt would become.
Fortunately, the warehouse left to Ling Yi by the system that had run away contained almost everything except money.
Ling Yi couldn't cook. Before Li Mochou arrived, Ling Yi either didn't eat at all, or if he did eat, it was basically hot pot, and occasionally barbecue.
It doesn't require much skill, it's easy, and it's edible regardless of whether it's good or bad.
The dining table was already laden with plates of washed vegetables and various cut meats.
The hot pot was placed on the charcoal stove, and it was already bubbling and steaming.
The aroma of hot pot broth spread, filling the entire courtyard with a rich fragrance.
"Hot pot tastes better when shared with more people. Moon Palace, Palace Mistress Lianxing, and Sister Yue Lingshan, if you don't mind, why not join us?" Ling Yi called out.
"Sister, shall we go?" Lianxing asked softly, swallowing hard, from the east wing.
Yaoyue seemed unmoved, but her small nose twitched slightly. She really wanted to eat, but she needed a way out, a reason.
"Sister, we've already paid a hundred taels of silver, so why not eat it?" Lianxing said again.
Now we have a reason!
"Let's go!" Yaoyue pushed open the door and walked straight to the dining table in the middle of the courtyard.
Lianxing quickly followed behind.
Yue Lingshan, who was in the last room of the west wing, was also starving. The aroma of the hot pot broth, which didn't belong to this world, made her mouth water.
Because of Old Yue's brainwashing, he had a lot of respect for Ling Yi, and although he was extremely hungry for him, he didn't dare to go out.
Now, after being invited by Ling Yi, and with others taking the lead, Yue Lingshan couldn't wait to come out.
"Don't be shy, it's rare to see the courtyard so lively today."
Although the ingredients were right in front of them, no one knew how to start eating until Ling Yi did, and then they knew how to eat them.
"This is so delicious!" Yue Lingshan went straight for the sliced meat. She took a bite of meat, dipped it in sauce, and the taste was unlike anything she had ever experienced before, making Yue Lingshan exclaim in surprise.
Yaoyue, Lianxing, and Li Mochou all ate green vegetables. Since they knew the secret of green vegetables, they naturally went for them first.
The Spiritual Qi in these vegetables is much less effective against Innate masters.
Of course, this weakness is relative.
After taking a bite of food, the women clearly felt their internal Internal Energy become much more active, and they Zhou Tian began to circulate their Internal Energy throughout their bodies.
Although Yaoyue remained silent, her heart was in turmoil.
This one bite of food is worth at least a month of his arduous training.
It should be noted that she has now reached the eighth level of the Mingyu Gong, which is considered a bottleneck period before the final stage of the Mingyu Gong.
Every bit of improvement in Internal Energy requires time and painstaking refinement.
This can no longer be described as a rare and precious treasure.
Yaoyue and Lianxing exchanged a glance, and both unconsciously sped up their scooping of vegetables.
As for Li Mochou, she kept her head down and didn't say a word. She dipped the vegetables in the pot, and without even letting go of her chopsticks, she put them directly into her mouth.
The three women didn't touch the slices of meat at all.
Only Ling Yi and Yue Lingshan were eating the sliced meat.
But how could the meat Ling Yi took out be ordinary!
This is also Demonic Beast meat, but it's from a lower-level Demonic Beast beast. Ling Yi wouldn't dare to take out meat from a high-level Demonic Beast.
These people simply couldn't withstand the immense energy contained in the flesh of high-level Demonic Beast.
The meat of low-level Demonic Beast was just within Yue Lingshan's tolerance range.
Moreover, unlike vegetables, Demonic Beast meat can not only improve cultivation level, but also slowly increase Demonic Beast body's strength.
It has a very good Body Tempering effect.
The system's warehouse contains an almost unlimited amount of this kind of Demonic Beast meat. Even if Ling Yi ate it every meal, it would take him tens of thousands of years to finish it all.
This is that escape system that ruined the fortunes accumulated by countless Protagonist.
Now it's all benefiting Ling Yi.
The meal didn't last very long, only half an hour.
It's not that I don't want to keep eating, it's just that I can't take it anymore after a few more meals.
" Ling Yi, I'm going back to my room now. Leave the dishes there for now, I'll come back to clean them up later."
Li Mochou was the first to return to her room.
Yaoyue nodded haughtily, as if to greet Ling Yi, and then used her Qinggong to return to her own room.
Lianxing gave Ling Yi an apologetic look, unsure of what to say for a moment, and then said, "Thank you, young master!" before returning to her room.
Yue Lingshan, however, still looked unsatisfied, murmuring, "If only I could eat such delicious food every day."
Ling Yi chuckled upon hearing this; this guy was quite the little foodie.
"You should go back and cultivate as well. If you want to eat, you can eat tomorrow."
"Really?" Yue Lingshan smiled brightly.
But then he suddenly remembered Old Yue's instructions, so he quickly suppressed his smile, gave Ling Yi a proper curtsy, and ran back to his room.
It was now completely dark. Ling Yi returned to the recliner and stared Fanxing at the stars in the sky, lost in thought for a moment.
I've been in this world for a month now.
Ling Yi didn't know how other transmigrators adapted to unfamiliar worlds.
When the night is deep and quiet, this feeling of loneliness, alienation, and utter incompatibility is very depressing.
Ling Yi wasn't trying to give up; rather, he simply didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, the courtyard finally became a bit more lively. Li Mochou, Yaoyue, Lianxing, Yue Lingshan —tsk tsk, they're all beauties.
What do you call this? Sitting at home, and a beautiful woman comes to your door.
This treatment is way too much Protagonist!
The white fox leaped down from the willow tree, landing lightly and precisely on Ling Yi. It skillfully found a comfortable position and curled up into a ball.
Ling Yi couldn't help but chuckle, placing his hand on the white fox's fluffy back, clearing his mind, and quickly drifting into a half-dreaming, half-awake state.
Meanwhile, in a courtyard in Xiangyang Alley, Fuzhou City, a fat and clumsy figure climbed over the wall.
Upon landing, it seemed to have lost its balance and fell flat on its face.
"Damn, were ancient courtyard walls all this high? And the height difference between the inside and outside of this courtyard wall is just too damn huge."
The man was dressed in a Black Robe and his face was covered.
He was very bulky and obese. When he walked, his fat jiggled. He was about 1.76 meters tall and had a buzz cut. He looked like a large bucket.
Getting up from the ground, the man Youyou towards the main house.
The house had clearly not been maintained for a long time, with weeds growing taller than knee-deep in the yard.
Fortunately, the weather is clear and the moonlight is bright tonight, so it doesn't affect visibility.
Pushing open the door, the fat man walked into the main hall, took out a flashlight from his pocket, shone it upwards, adjusted the angle a few times, and then his eyes lit up as he finally spotted his target.
The next moment, a crossbow bolt appeared in his hand without him even noticing.
He raised the crossbow, aimed for a moment, and then pulled the trigger.
The crossbow bolt was quite powerful, hitting its target directly, and a red object was shot off the beam.
The fat man cheered and quickly ran over to pick up the items.
It turned out to be a red kasaya, covered with densely packed text.
"Is this the Bixie Sword Manual?" the fat man muttered to himself.
"System, are you sure I can cultivate without cutting anything?"
"What the hell do you mean? What's the difference between this and cutting it off? It's still unusable, isn't it?"
"Can you recover after achieving Great Accomplishment mastery of cultivation? Are you sure you're not kidding me?"
"Alright, you're right. This is Combined Martial Arts World, it's too dangerous outside. Without some means of self-defense, I wouldn't even dare to leave my house."
"I must be the most pathetic transmigrator in history!"
"Stop talking nonsense and get started cultivating!"
As soon as the fat man finished speaking, the cassock in his hand turned into ashes and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Then, the fat man's body, like a deflated balloon, quickly shrank.
He eventually transformed into a perfectly fit and muscular man.
"Damn, system, you're awesome! Haha, with my current physique, I'd be a total heartthrob before I transmigrated."
The man took off his mask, pulled out a mirror from somewhere, and burst into laughter as he looked at the handsome man in the mirror.
"Now the task of winning over the female lead has been downgraded from Hell Grade to Common Grade. I, Ye Huan, am so damn cool now, hahaha!"
Amidst the mess in the courtyard, a wild cat that was intently watching a Haozi was startled by the loud laughter. It shrieked, darted up the wall in a few moments, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
