Chapter 203: Barbecue, Spirit Wine, and a Good Life
Immediately, he tossed that jade slip to Chen Chuyang.
That kind of sword technique would kill anyone who sees it; she only glanced at it once, but the crazy method filled her mind, impossible to forget. Chen Qinger tried hard not to think about it, yet wild thoughts kept surfacing.
Too difficult.
"What are you afraid of? This sword technique is fine, and it won't do anything to you."
As the saying goes, his poison is my candied fruit.
Chen Chuyang put the jade slip away; Chen Qinger, the younger sister, didn't know how to appreciate it, so naturally didn't understand the technique's benefits.
The Heart Sword Technique can be said to be the most stunning sword method Chen Chuyang has ever seen—without equal.
Elder Xinran's comprehension of this sword technique truly defies the heavens; she is indeed gifted, and across the world there isn't a single person who can compare with her.
If the world's talent amounts to ten dou, Elder Xinran alone commands seven dou, thanks to this very sword technique.
The Five Elements Sword Technique is indeed decent, but before the Heart Sword Technique it amounts to nothing; the gap between them is huge.
Heaven and earth—this kind of disparity may not be apparent early on, but later it becomes obvious. For example, the Heart Sword Technique Chen Chuyang cultivates reaches a profound realm, gradually revealing its terrifying potential and infinite possibilities.
This explains the technique's heaven-defying nature; the Five Elements Sword Technique has limits. After condensing the pill, one can enter the Fusion Life stage, but beyond that it may end, requiring a new insight or a substitute sword technique, thereby revising other techniques for the next breakthrough and Advancement.
The Five Elements Sword Technique can serve as a transition, but cannot be cultivated indefinitely. The Heart Sword Technique is different; it can be continuously practiced and comprehended. Moreover, each person's cultivation, thoughts, talent, and insights differ, so naturally there are variations.
For instance, Chen Chuyang's Heart Sword Technique and Elder Xinran's stem from the same source, yet their techniques differ.
Completely different—unique.
Just as each of them is a one-of-a-kind existence under the heavens.
"You can't appreciate this sword technique now; by the time you do, it'll be too late."
"Sister Chen Qinger, are you really not going to cultivate?"
Chen Qinger shook her head: "Brother Chen Chuyang, I won't cultivate this sword technique."
No matter how good a sword technique is, if it doesn't suit you, it's not a good technique.
The Five Elements Sword Technique fits her perfectly, far more than the Heart Sword Technique. Moreover, she's not that crazy; that kind of mad sword technique and its wild thoughts make one... very... insane. Cultivating it would quickly turn someone into a lunatic.
A true lunatic.
She certainly doesn't want to become one.
"What a pity, you won't cultivate such a fine sword technique—what a waste."
Chen Chuyang saw that his younger sister wasn't falling for it; spreading the Heart Sword Technique is not easy at all.
On his second uncle's side, Chen Chuyang harbored no hope.
The Heart Sword Technique is truly excellent; it can fuse all sword techniques into one's own Heart Sword Technique.
Precisely because of this, ordinary people cannot control it.
Chen Qinger understood Shang Hongxue's words and why she said them; this sword technique is truly a trap. If her father truly succeeded in cultivating it, his second half of life could be ruined.
But Brother Chen Chuyang succeeded in cultivation and suffered no trouble at all.
On the contrary.
She watched Chen Chuyang produce the internal elixir of the Humpback Demon General—still not fully condensed—along with a pile of flesh, bone, and marrow. She instantly recognized it as the corpse of that demon general, slain by Chen Chuyang's cousin?
"Brother Chen Chuyang, did you really kill the Humpback Demon General?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
Chen Chuyang kept his head down, arranging the internal elixir; the meat could be tasted—so much flesh, all good stuff.
The blood is also good; previously there was no chance to sort it properly, now he can do it slowly.
"Shang Hongxue, come over and help."
"Alright."
Shang Hongxue came over to help; the two began collecting the demon general's blood, which is a treasure and will later be used on their bodies. The bones were naturally hidden, and the most prized hump was, of course, taken to eat.
The barbecue's aroma drifted, attracting others.
Zhang Nongqian, the little girl, arrived instantly, crowded around the roast meat, drooling.
The noble demon general's flesh and blood smelled truly fragrant, without the foul stench of beasts.
Bodies filled with spiritual energy had already altered their flesh, all emitting an alluring scent.
Big brother Chen Chusheng naturally wouldn't miss it; behind him stood Shang Yue, and a few others, politely seated nearby, waiting to eat the meat.
Chen Qinger also felt greedy, her mouth watering uncontrollably.
"Alright, start eating quickly."
Everything was cleared away; today they ate demon general flesh and blood—truly fine fare.
"Zhang Nongqian, Shang Yue, and Aunt Yu'er, eat less; your bodies are weak and can't handle the demon general's flesh energy—control your portions."
"Understood," the three replied in unison.
They also knew that after a few bites, their bodies were filled with energy; even if they wanted more, they couldn't eat any further.
Zhang Nongqian was the first to get full; she immediately fell asleep, the energy continuously flooding her body, reshaping her.
Liu Yuer was the second to collapse, snoring loudly in sleep.
Next was big brother Chen Chusheng; Shang Yue kept eating meat, looking as if he never got full.
Sister Chen Qinger ate her fill, leaving three people—Chen Chuyang and two others.
After Shang Hongxue's Cultivation awakened, she could digest massive amounts of flesh; she shoved the demon general's meat in bite after bite, never seeming to get full. Her appetite had increased tenfold compared to before.
She could match Chen Chuyang's appetite; Shang Yue wasn't far behind—after eating for a long time, he finally couldn't eat any more.
They collapsed, slept, and digested slowly.
Thus, only Shang Hongxue and Chen Chuyang remained, eating slowly.
"Brother Chen Chuyang, they all collapsed; they're too weak."
"Indeed. Let's keep eating; this flesh is delicious, energy-rich, and great for the body," Chen Chuyang added, reminding, "Be careful not to overeat."
"Hmm."
Shang Hongxue ate meat with Chen Chuyang, and suddenly Chen Chuyang remembered something, quickly fetched a jar of spiritual fruit wine, and the two ate meat while drinking.
After a short while, Shang Hongxue's complexion turned rosy; the fruit wine wasn't strong, but drinking too much would still make one drunk.
The little girl drank it as if it were water; it was hard to tell she could still drink that much. The spiritual energy in the fruit wine was all absorbed by her body; Cultivation is different, with digestion and absorption far surpassing others.
The strength of her special constitution could be shown at this moment.
Chen Chuyang ate while observing Shang Hongxue's body, and as she kept eating, she broke through.
Then she kept eating; the wine and roasted meat that entered her stomach were quickly digested.
Her reinforced five organs, six viscera, and even her stomach—simply incredible.
"So refreshing, Brother Chuyang."
Having eaten and drunk her fill, Shang Hongxue said she couldn't eat any more and stopped.
Chen Chuyang kept eating and drinking; he alone took the remaining meat and spiritual fruit wine.
Thus, the huge humpback demon general was forced to be eaten half by them.
The remaining meat wasn't much.
