What kind of answer is this?
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at Yang Zhen. The question was about how to maximize cultivation speed, a very common question with everyone having their own opinions.
Finding a suitable place rich in True Essence, cultivating the most suitable Cultivation Method and martial arts, and receiving guidance from renowned masters and seniors—these are all answers to the question.
Luo Wuchen was able to refute the arguments from various angles. Everyone thought it would be a heated debate, but Flower Moon Pavilion was not short of such debates. Only in this way could everyone gain insights and make progress together, which was why everyone was so willing to come to the Flower Moon Pavilion.
But... Yang Zhen's single sentence shut down what should have been a lively debate.
Just eat and eat, do you think all cultivators are gluttons? If eating and eating were all that mattered, wouldn't everyone in the world be a powerful and virtuous person?
"What kind of answer is that? It's really disappointing."
"In my opinion, Yang Zhen is nothing but a fame-seeker. I don't know how he managed to deceive Tower Master Hua with his sweet words. It's just a pity that Tower Master Hua, who is so intelligent, was actually fooled by Yang Zhen."
"That's right, but now that Yang Zhen has been completely exposed, Tower Master Hua should understand what kind of person Yang Zhen is!"
Yan'er hugged the box, her expression strange, as if she wanted to laugh but couldn't, looking extremely uncomfortable.
Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen speechlessly, as if she had known all along.
It's almost impossible to get Yang Zhen to answer questions and solve problems seriously. Yang Zhen's thinking always seems to be completely different from others, and his ideas are wildly imaginative. No one can guess what's going on in his head.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire cabin became strange. Even Luo Wuchen stared blankly at Yang Zhen, his prepared words choked back before he could utter them. After a long pause, he laughed heartily and said with a disdainful look:
"This is utterly absurd! I thought you were a genius, but you're just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat. If eating alone is all it takes to..."
Snap!
A crisp sound rang out. Whether it was because Yang Zhen had exceptionally good teeth or because the Jade Lingzhi in his hand was simply too hard, the sound of him chewing echoed throughout the entire cabin in an instant.
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen in astonishment, including Luo Wuchen. They all stared blankly as Yang Zhen pulled out a large piece of something from somewhere and began to devour it.
Snap!
The crisp chewing sounds continued, and everyone subconsciously swallowed. When they saw that what Yang Zhen was holding was actually Jade Lingzhi, there was an uproar.
Many cultivators stood up, staring at Yang Zhen in horror, their faces flashing with pain.
This is Jade Lingzhi! Yang Zhen treated it like a giant radish, holding it in his hands and eating it raw. This... is just too painful.
But these were Yang Zhen's things after all; since he was eating his own food, no one else could say anything.
For a moment, the cabin was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the only sounds were Yang Zhen gnawing on something and the occasional swallowing of saliva.
Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen with an "I knew it" expression and said speechlessly, "Can you please stop wasting things like this? Do you know how much use and effect this stuff can have in the hands of Alchemist?"
Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then pushed the Jade Lingzhi in front of Hua Youyue and asked, "Do you want some? It's on me."
Hua Youyue froze, wanting to speak but then stopping herself.
Yang Zhen made a move to retract his grip, but Hua Youyue snatched it away. With a crisp snap of her silver teeth, she took a small bite, staring at Yang Zhen as she slowly chewed, her mouth filled with a sweet fragrance.
Yang Zhen took out a bottle of Colorful Cloud Dew, tilted his head back and took a sip, then asked, "How is it? Does it smell good?"
The taste of Jade Lingzhi is extremely delicious; eating it is an absolute pleasure.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, Hua Youyue, and nodded, saying, "It smells delicious!"
"Come, come, little girl, don't just eat, have something to drink too. They say the Jade Lingzhi tastes even better with Colorful Cloud Dew!"
Since things had come to this point, Hua Youyue didn't stand on ceremony. She took the Colorful Cloud Dew that Yang Zhen had just drunk from and sipped it.
"You! You all!" Luo Wuchen's face turned ashen, his face covered in flashy colors, a hint of surprise and envy flashing in his eyes, and he swallowed hard in anger.
From the second floor, that sweet, gentle voice rang out again. "What's that smell? How can it be so refreshingly sweet?"
A maidservant who was swallowing hard by the railing hurriedly retreated upon hearing this, and a moment later, a clear laugh came from behind the curtain.
"I see. I never expected this question could be answered this way. If it were someone else, it would be a joke, but this young man actually carries around the Jade Lingzhi and the Colorful Cloud Dew, and can eat them at will. It's truly... interesting."
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with anger and heartache.
Yang Zhen wasn't eating food; he was practically gnawing on crystals. With one bite, he swallowed up what others would need for half a year.
Luo Wuchen's expression was still changing wildly when Yang Zhen suddenly cried out, startling everyone.
Hua Youyue hurriedly put down the Colorful Cloud Dew in her hand and asked with a strange expression, "What's wrong?"
"I think I ate too much. If this continues, my Golden Core will be born prematurely!"
Premature birth?
A group of people twitched at the corners of their eyes. Yang Zhen described breaking through the elixir and becoming a nascent soul in such a refined and elegant way; he was truly an extraordinary person.
Hua Youyue glared at Yang Zhen and said, "You can't improve your cultivation level, yet you're consuming so many rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures. No wonder you're feeling unwell."
Yang Zhen gave Luo Wuchen a resentful look and said innocently, "How can you blame me? It's all to make him submit."
Luo Wuchen was so angry he couldn't speak. Although he was a successor of the Azure Blessed Land and had far more resources than disciples of other sects, he still couldn't eat like Yang Zhen.
With Yang Zhen wolfing down his food like that, no matter how fast Luo Wuchen's cultivation speed was, even if he used his Yuan Qi to transform into a horse and gallop at full speed, he still couldn't catch up with Yang Zhen.
"This is utterly absurd! You're just making excuses. While this method of eating may indeed maximize cultivation speed, how many days can you eat like that?"
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "What's wrong? I have plenty of food, enough to eat every day. What can you do about it?"
"You... well, no one knows how much you have, so you can say whatever you want!"
Yang Zhen jumped up with a start, startling Luo Wuchen: "I'm not showing it to you, are you angry?"
" Yang Zhen, do you really intend to offend Azure Blessed Land?"
"Oh my!" Yang Zhen slammed his hand on the table. "What a huge accusation! Let's debate! If you can't win, you bring up Azure Blessed Land? Who's my Wutuo Gang afraid of? Come on, come and bite me!"
"You!" Luo Wuchen's face was gloomy as he stared intently at Yang Zhen.
After Yang Zhen sat down, he rinsed his mouth with the Colorful Cloud Dew: "So you're a coward after all!"
Everyone stared blankly at Yang Zhen and Luo Wuchen, their faces filled with astonishment and stunned.
Although the Flower Moon Pavilion has many rules, everyone here gives Azure Blessed Land some face, and Luo Wuchen, who is always in high spirits and gets along well with everyone, has never been treated so rudely before.
Just as a fierce conflict was about to break out, a series of slow and even footsteps suddenly echoed down the wooden staircase in the cabin.
Everyone turned to look immediately, and their expressions changed instantly.
A graceful and alluring woman walked slowly and steadily toward the cabin.
