Chapter 1171

This youth was only at the entry level of the Purple Mansion Realm, more than a full major realm behind Ye Changqing, so there was simply no comparison.

But that punch just now still made Ye Changqing feel curious.

One must know that although Ye Changqing was not a body cultivator, his physical strength was absolutely not weak; even at the same realm, it was no weaker than that bunch of muscle-heads from Dragon Elephant Peak.

Yet, the youth's fist just now, purely in terms of physical body, had actually surpassed his own.

"Come again, this time I will definitely beat you down."

But before Ye Changqing could think much, the youth let out a roar and was about to lunge forward again.

"Stop acting up."

However, before he could move, the refined man beside him had already slapped him on the head.

These people are more terrifying than the last; is this kid really not afraid of death? You, with your mere Purple Mansion Realm cultivation, they could crush you with a single finger, so what's the point of coming back for more?

Slapped by the refined man, the youth looked at him with a grievance-filled expression and said.

"Second Grandfather, why did you hit me?"

"These are guests, show some respect."

"Oh, guests, I thought they were going to do something bad to you, Second Grandfather."

"Nonsense."

After scolding the youth, the refined man turned to Ye Changqing and apologized.

"This kid has never left this place since he was small and doesn't understand etiquette; I hope you can forgive him, fellow Daoist."

"No matter, he is quite interesting."

Ye Changqing didn't mind much and even took a look at the youth, but facing his gaze, the youth glared back fiercely without showing any weakness, and then even raised his fist, looking completely unconvinced.

"Heh, this hotheaded kid..."

Xu Jie, standing to the side, also watched with a smile.

After communicating with the refined man, Qi Xiong and the others also walked off the starship one after another; this time, the people around did not attack again.

Only the youth ran to the side of the starship, full of curiosity, looking here and touching there, jumping up and down, looking like someone who had never seen the world.

"Grandfather, what is this thing? It's so big."

He had never seen a starship, let alone had close contact with one.

"Stop messing around, let's go back."

Watching the youth's behavior, the refined man shook his head with a bitter smile and then signaled for everyone to walk into the forest together.

Along the way, the refined man also introduced quite a bit about the situation on this island.

As everyone saw, this was indeed a deserted island, and the people on the island had lived here for generations.

As for him, he had an accident a hundred years ago while heading to the Central Continent, was attacked by the Water Clan, survived the disaster, luckily drifted here, and was saved by the islanders, which was how he survived.

Afterward, he had lived here ever since.

As for the youth who was jumping up and down as if he had endless energy, he could barely be considered his grandson.

He was also born and raised on the island, but he had no parents, grew up with him from a young age, cultivated, and also learned the language of the outside world.

The two were like grandfather and grandson, with a deep bond.

"I see, then has the fellow Daoist ever thought about leaving this place?"

After listening, Ye Changqing asked; hearing this, the refined man shook his head.

"I won't go back; there's nothing left to miss anyway."

Because of the accident a hundred years ago, all of the refined man's family had died on this boundless sea, and he no longer had any attachment to the outside world.

Moreover, having lived here for a hundred years, he had long since gotten used to it.

While talking, the group had already arrived at the only village on the island.

Simple tree houses were built upon towering trees.

The people living here could climb up very easily, even the elderly and children.

Led by the refined man, the group arrived at one of the wooden houses; this was his home.

"This is a barren land, and there's nothing good to treat you all with, but we have a local specialty here; if you don't mind, you might want to try it."

"Then many thanks."

"Shan Hu."

"Coming, Grandfather, what is it?"

"Go roast some fish and shrimp to treat the guests."

"Oh."

The youth's name was Shan Hu; hearing the refined man's words, he quickly and skillfully started a fire and began roasting fish.

Watching him take out various bottles and jars, Ye Changqing curiously stepped forward; in an instant, a unique fragrance rushed to his nose.

"This seasoning..."

He had never seen such seasoning before; at the same time, the system also reacted.

【Ancient seasoning detected, the system is recording.】

Hmm???

Ancient seasoning? System recording?

Soon, the preparation methods for these seasonings appeared in Ye Changqing's mind; it was truly magical.

But looking at the system's introduction to these seasonings, Ye Changqing's eyes suddenly lit up.

They actually have such great effects?

These seasonings were all made by the islanders themselves and passed down through generations.

And according to the system, if these seasonings were added to dishes, they would be of great help to cultivation.

This was the first time he had seen seasoning that could help with cultivation.

The seasonings Ye Changqing had used before had no effect at all in the system; all the efficacy came from the ingredients.

But now, these ancient seasonings themselves carried efficacy; if combined with ingredients, the effect would undoubtedly be even better.

He didn't expect such an unexpected gain.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Ye Changqing staring at those bottles and jars, Fairy Baihua asked curiously.

"Nothing, just a bit interested."

"Hey, if you like it, I can teach you how to make it."

At this moment, Shan Hu, who had been focusing on roasting fish, suddenly spoke up; hearing this, Ye Changqing was amused.

"Then I will thank you very much."

"No need to thank me, but you have to spar with me in boxing; I was careless just now, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have lost to you."
