Chapter 126

"Bing'er, ask you—can you taste the elemental property of a Tianzhu?"

The calm words caused Shangguan Bing'er to freeze in place.

She looked up at Zhou Weiqing and saw that a crimson flame pattern had appeared on the Tianzhu in his hand.

This sight left Shangguan Bing'er utterly stunned.

Could a Tianzhu's elemental property be added after cultivation?

This surpassed Shangguan Bing'er's understanding entirely.

For a moment, Shangguan Bing'er stared at the remaining two portions of food, swallowed hard, yet dared not move.

Her Tianzhu was not a chrysoberyl cat's eye.

If a flame property suddenly appeared, it was unknown whether this would benefit or harm her Tianzhu.

At this moment, inside the food shop, there was complete silence.

Everyone was savoring the food, relishing its exquisite flavor.

Especially Zhang Sanfeng, Yue Buqun, and Abbot Xuan Ci—these elders, after the carrot's purification of their essence and marrow, had seen their strength surge dramatically.

Added to that, the braised chicken had made their internal qi hot and restless, far beyond what it had been before.

"Whoosh, the owner's food is as delicious as ever!"

After enjoying the effects of the meal, Zhu Qizhen let out a long breath and spoke with his usual praise.

His sudden words caused Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, and others to turn their gazes toward him.

Especially Yue Buqun—if not for others nearby, he would have already started fawning.

Unfortunately, he had brought people along and could not act freely.

"At a time like this, one should have a glass of special watermelon juice!"

Shangguan Bing'er glanced at Zhu Qizhen; he found Zhu Qizhen's flattery utterly uninteresting.

With a flick of his hand, a small jade vial appeared in Stark's grasp.

"Owner, please add ingredients to my and Seeing Ying Zheng's watermelon juice!"

He rose respectfully, bowed to Su Mu, and handed over the jade vial.

Su Mu, who had just returned from his duties, stared at the jade vial in Stark's hand, puzzled.

What are these guys up to now?

The herbal juice last time was bad enough.

Now they're bringing unknown solutions to mix in?

Can you even drink this stuff?

He shook the vial curiously, and saw liquid swirling inside.

"Forget it—I don't understand the whims of these rich people!"

Su Mu muttered to himself but said nothing further, walking straight toward the kitchen.

At this moment, inside the food shop, everyone froze as Stark pulled out his item.

Then, all of them understood.

Holy shit—is Stark really going to drink the juice of a thousand-year tree spirit?

Recalling the screenshot Watching Watching Ning Caichen had posted in the group, Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, Abbot Xuan Ci, and others all furrowed their brows.

Younger ones like Locke Lee and Zhou Weiqing felt a wave of nausea.

Good heavens—can you really drink that stuff?

At this moment, everyone's mind was filled with doubt.

Even Watching Watching Ning Caichen, the undead knight, felt uneasy inside.

What would happen if the juice of a thousand-year tree spirit were added to watermelon juice?

Time slowly passed as everyone waited.

Soon after, Su Mu walked out carrying two cups of green watermelon juice.

"Here, yours two!"

Looking at the color of the juice, Su Mu himself felt nauseous.

This color? Clearly not legitimate!

Are these two people brain-damaged?

If they like drinking this crap!

"Gulps..."

Others in the food shop also swallowed hard.

Looking at the strangely eerie watermelon juice, many felt a wave of disgust.

If this were their drink, they'd never touch it.

But Stark paid no attention to any of this.

So what if it's green?

That's perfectly normal!

What's the difference from freshly squeezed vegetable juice?

It's just a tree spirit that lived longer!

So what?

Come on—watch Stark down it in one gulp!

Thinking this, Stark grabbed the watermelon juice and took a massive swallow.

"Boom—"

With a mouthful of watermelon juice, in an instant, Stark felt his soul as if it had exploded.

In the misty unknown, as darkness fell before his eyes, Stark arrived at a dim place.

In the gloom, endless whispers rose beside Stark's ears.

The divine power within his body, under these whispers, actually began to circulate on its own.

And as the whispers grew urgent, faster and faster, faster and faster.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a dull thud, Stark instantly came to his senses.

Within his mind's consciousness, the whispers he had heard earlier had actually transformed into a cultivation technique.

At this moment, the divine power within his body was also circulating nonstop along the cultivation technique.

Such a scene made Stark freeze instantly, then go wild with joy.

He struck it rich; this time, he, Stark, had bet right!

Within the juice of the thousand-year tree demon, there actually existed a cultivation technique.

Originally, under the effect of the black rice wine brew, Stark, who had transformed into a divine body, could only cultivate slowly.

But now, with the support of a cultivation technique, he could digest the immortal's delicacies at the fastest speed, thereby enhancing his strength.

Thinking of achieving immortality in the end, Stark instantly became excited.

Looking back, he saw Ying Zheng on the other side also down the watermelon juice in one gulp, falling into realization.

Inside the delicacy shop, everyone, seeing Stark had come to his senses, spoke up one after another.

"How does it taste?"

"Can that thing really be drunk?"

"What are the effects? Is there any discomfort?"

"......"

To the barrage of questions, Stark merely smiled and said nothing.

Regarding the effects of the thousand-year tree demon plus watermelon juice, he decided, just like with the black rice wine brew, to keep it a secret.

Such a good thing, naturally, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Seeing Stark fall silent again, in an instant, everyone realized something was wrong.

This action was exactly the same as the black rice wine brew last time.

Could the effect of the thousand-year tree demon juice plus watermelon juice rival that of the immortal's black rice wine brew?

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen among the crowd suddenly panicked.

Others did not know about the black rice wine brew, but he did.

The terror of that thing absolutely exceeded the understanding of Yue Buqun and the others.

And thinking of this thousand-year tree demon, if it were truly like that.

Then Zhu Qizhen would have lost out big time.

Tang San, who had been keeping his Purple Extreme Demon Eye active, seeing Zhu Qizhen's look of heart-wrenching pain, felt his curiosity about the black rice wine brew and the thousand-year tree demon's juice grow even stronger within his heart.

The effects of these two things must have exceeded their understanding.

Otherwise, Stark, Ying Zheng, and these others would not have remained silent.

It seems, next time, I must compete for the black rice wine brew!

Within his heart, Tang San also vaguely developed a desire to contend.
