"As for the secrets behind it, let this fish show you a thing or two."
Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and laughed, then pointed his finger, and two beams of light landed on Li Xingkong and Jingwei.
"This is the 'Transformation' technique. It eliminates the thought of transformation and absorption. With this technique, one only needs to taste a bite to absorb and learn the supernatural powers and spells contained within the food, and even understand and analyze its hidden concepts."
"It is fate that we have met. Let's see what this little incantation can bring you both."
"Chinese characters?"
Li Xingkong's Divine Sense circulated within his body several times, but he did not find anything different. It was as if that ball of light had no effect on him at all.
But this is clearly impossible. Since Jiang Ziya spoke with such certainty, it means that this thing must be useful.
"Alright, it's almost done. Come on, try my cooking."
Jiang Ziya sprinkled some seasoning on the fish, then lifted it out of the fire and, with a flick of his finger, tore it in two.
Then he glanced at Jingwei and tore off a small strip of flesh from one of the halves.
If you can't finish it, you can hide it first.
As he spoke, he placed three portions of grilled fish in front of the two people and the bird.
"Can't finish it? How could you not finish it? There's only a little bit!"
Jingwei was clearly unhappy. Why should she get such a tiny piece? It was too small even for her to pick up with her paws.
"Can't you even finish one bite? You're so stingy."
He was rude in both words and actions, grabbing her tiny penis directly.
Li Xingkong smiled without saying a word; he knew perfectly well just how big this little strip was.
Let alone Jingwei alone, even if their entire tribe came, they might not be able to eat them.
"When you want to eat, you can take it with you, then just call out 'Dinner' and you can take a portion out."
"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!!!"
Jingwei, who was about to put it in her mouth, heard about this ritual and grabbed the small piece, shouting several times.
On the strip of meat beneath their feet, a thin slice appeared to have been cut off, and as it landed, it rapidly expanded like an inflated balloon.
Jingwei hurriedly dodged, and then heard a loud bang, the sound of some huge object falling to the ground.
When the commotion subsided, Jingwei, floating in the air, was dumbfounded.
Before them lay a gigantic lump of flesh, as large as three tribes, nearly 30 meters thick and high. A small bird stood before it, looking like a parasite.
"Holy crap!"
Jingwei was having a hard time. Such a huge piece—was it really cut from that tiny strip at her feet?
Without waiting for a reply, it took a couple of bites and hurriedly looked towards where Li Xingkong and the white-bearded immortal were.
If you fly away, make sure the two of them are crushed underneath.
"Hahaha, little bird, can you still eat now?"
Just as it was getting anxious, it heard laughter behind it. It turned out that Li Xingkong and Jiang Ziya were already standing behind it, watching it and laughing.
"Can you... eat it?"
His whole body was soft, except for his mouth.
Looking at the chunk of flesh beneath its feet, Jingwei glanced at the ocean being flooded by rainwater, and a terrible thought popped into its mind.
"This... this fish, could it be... the Heluo Fish?!"
"Hahaha, your little brain works pretty fast. Where else can you find other fish around here?"
Li Xingkong couldn't help but laugh.
Having received an affirmative answer, Jingwei was dumbfounded.
No wonder one fish is enough to eat. It's more than enough; even this tiny one in his hand could feed the entire tribe for ten or eight years.
Then it looked at Li Xingkong and Jiang Ziya, who had already started eating. They didn't use the so-called meal-starting ceremony at all, and just took bites one by one.
It couldn't even imagine how much of that food would end up in its stomach.
"Stop staring, eat up! It's a big piece, let's see how long you take to finish it."
This Heluo Fish was indeed delicious. In all his years of life, including countless Samsara, this was the first time Li Xingkong had ever tasted such a delicious fish. It was so delicious that he almost forgot what he was supposed to do.
Fortunately, the Transformation Child Art that had been placed on him began to take effect as soon as he finished eating the fish.
As the fish meat was being digested, Li Xingkong felt as if his Divine Sense and Hexagram were connected to the Heluo Fish's timeline, and countless pieces of knowledge and wondrous techniques about it surged towards Li Xingkong.
Filtering out all irrelevant supernatural powers and methods, Li Xingkong controlled his Divine Sense to delve deeper and deeper. Soon, he saw a large, hazy gray character.
With just one glance, Li Xingkong knew that it was the character for "rain".
Although he could see it clearly and recognize it, when Li Xingkong tried to see its full appearance, he found that he couldn't remember it no matter what.
Moreover, it seems that he wasn't the only one like this; He Heluo Fish hadn't learned much to begin with.
He seemed to be observing from an outsider's perspective, witnessing Heluo Fish learning and mastering the concept of rain bit by bit.
" Rain of Raging Waves..."
So that's how it is. Heluo Fish comprehended was only one aspect of the concept of rain.
These are the kinds of storms that only occur when the area is at sea.
No wonder the rain it summoned was so torrential.
Li Xingkong originally thought that what he could comprehend should be the same as it, but after the effect of the Transformation Character Art dissipated, Li Xingkong discovered that his understanding of the concept of rain was completely different from it.
"So, did you learn anything?"
Jiang Ziya, observing Li Xingkong's expression, clearly understood something.
"I have fulfilled my mission."
Li Xingkong felt the peculiar sensation within his body and wanted to try using it.
This feeling was quite peculiar. For the first time, Li Xingkong felt as if he could do something similar, even if he abandoned his Magic Power and Divine Sense, his physical body and cultivation.
It consumes no resources whatsoever; at least, in Li Xingkong's current Divine Sense perception, he sees no place where he needs to invest any resources.
"Rain!"
He simply followed the memory that existed in his mind and then softly recited it aloud.
In an instant, the world around Li Xingkong changed completely.
The sky, which had been battered by the raging wind and rain, seemed to have been torn open, and the environment within a radius of several miles centered on Li Xingkong's body suddenly changed drastically.
The raging storm disappeared, replaced by a light, misty drizzle that surrounded them.
The rain was fine and continuous, so fine it felt almost imperceptible, leaving only a refreshing sensation on the skin.
But when it landed on the ground, it triggered new changes.
Originally, due to its proximity to the sea, the surrounding land had become somewhat sandy. Although it wasn't completely barren, the vegetation wasn't very lush either.
But amidst the drizzle, the ground seemed to be on accelerator, with countless green plants bursting through the earth's surface, struggling desperately upwards with the help of the raindrops.
This was the first time Li Xingkong had ever seen such a rapid growth rate in a plant, as if its tentacles were surging.
