Who could have imagined that he would advance through six levels of the realm in less than a year? How did he accomplish that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was immediately silenced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only for a moment before someone retorted: “Everyone says his maid is incredibly strong, an exceptional genius! Now it seems, his performance surpasses even hers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed! Compared to him, we are just ordinary people, worlds apart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking care of the two shrimp beasts, Jiang Yuan approached the Black Turtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she had fully retracted into her shell, remaining motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come out!” Jiang Yuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was wrong! Please spare my life!” A female voice plead from within the turtle shell, pitifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she retracted herself even further into her shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After witnessing Jiang Yuan easily slay her two companions, the Black Turtle had a stark realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were to emerge, it would mean her demise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By relying on the protective power of her shell, she might survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because His Highness Li Liang was on his way. As a prodigy of the Yaksha tribe of the sea patrol, inheriting the royal blood, he had the privilege of using the surname Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the Divine Bridge Realm, he was nearly unparalleled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he reached this location, all danger would be resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparatively, although Jiang Yuan was strong, he was still at the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm, which is a whole realm weaker compared to His Highness Li Liang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodies of the Demon Tribe were especially strong, not to mention Li Liang who possessed the royal lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heart of the Black Turtle filled with hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan saw this and chuckled coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single movement of his hand brought him to the side of the Black Turtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His palm pressed onto the turtle shell, which was instantly infused with a five-colored halo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Turtle, seeing the five-colored halo permeating her shell, felt a sudden tightness within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she felt her inner core stagnate, and her energy flow slowed down, barely on the move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her qi and blood were confined, her divine soul sank into silence, and even her divine sense could not project outwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind suddenly plunged into panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to sticking her head out to face death, she would rather endure this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, she suddenly felt heat waves emanating from her backside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s hot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but pant heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Jiang Yuan was conjuring a fire using the Five Elements, with the Wood element amplifying the flames, sending the fire fiercely ablaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rolling heat waves made the air appear somewhat distorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, the observers were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Yuan, are you planning to… roast this Black Turtle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clearly, that seems to be the case!”Someone nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Turtle hiding in her shell, could smell the delicious aroma of her own meat, and was immediately tear-stricken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was going to end up as someone’s meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the stagnation of her inner demon power and qi and blood, she experienced a sense of defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only silently pray in her heart for the speedy arrival of His Highness Li Liang. Under such intense flames, she didn’t think she could last much longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan again stirred up two balls of fire, roasting the two shrimp beasts, he’d killed, skewered on two swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, the observers were dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan was leisurely starting a BBQ party here, using the East Sea Demon Tribe as his ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at each other speechlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the two dead shrimps were fully grilled by the raging fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the entire valley was filled with the aroma of roasted meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This nutritious meal immediately reminded everyone of their long-forgotten sense of hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For cultivators who have reached this level, food is unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, smelling the tantalizing aroma of roasting meat, they suddenly had a strong desire to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hunger was a primal craving of their bodies, for nourishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan’s stomach also responded with several “gurgling” sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Xiaoxiao laughed when hearing this sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, her flat stomach also started to “gurgle”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Yuan’s gaze, Shu Xiaoxiao’s face immediately turned a shade of red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan smiled and tore off a claw from one of the grilled shrimps and handed it to Shu Xiaoxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat this! It is a highly nutritious food, filled with the essence of flesh and blood. But you are too weak in your cultivation, so don’t eat too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Xiaoxiao nodded her head promptly like a pecking chick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she took a hefty bite of the shrimp meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a wave of joy washed over her face, a radiance of pleasure filling her features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shrimp claw in her hand was not that much smaller than her whole body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every bite, her mouth was filled with the incredibly sweet shrimp meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd on the slope saw this scene, taking in the tantalizing aroma of the meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They immediately swallowed their saliva in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do I feel this shrimp looks incredibly delicious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t it obvious? It must be delicious! This is a Condensation Realm six-layered shrimp, contains the essence of flesh and blood, a top-notch nourishing food, and it can even improve our cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone swallowed their saliva quietly, murmuring, “What should I do? I really want to eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me as well…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why don’t you ask if we can share some?” someone suggested in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person immediately shook his head in refusal, dismissing the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was joking – seeing how Jiang Yuan just defeated the shrimp, he didn’t seem the type to be generous. Let’s forget this idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, everyone’s eyes were on Jiang Yuan, watching him devour the shrimp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, they saw that Jiang Yuan had already finished a huge shrimp claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think? Could he finish these two shrimps?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is no way he could eat that much, look… these two shrimps are each three feet long, it’s impossible for him to eat them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once he is full, let’s ask if he can share some with us? It’s wasteful if he can’t finish it!” someone suggested, swallowing their saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Zhu is so righteous!” someone next to him said, clasping his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Zhu is so righteous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Zhu is so righteous…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone acknowledged with folded hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the conversation from afar, Jiang Yuan smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their whispered discussion was essentially a plea for him to share some shrimp meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were dreaming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he be willing to share such a good thing with them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the effect of his Gluttonous Belly, there was nothing he couldn’t eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These seafood dishes were his resources for breaking through realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was absolutely impossible for him to give them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan showed a satisfied smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, only the inedible parts and the shell of the shrimp remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel the essence-filled shrimp meat entering his stomach, and under the powerful effect of his Gluttonous Belly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it immediately transformed into a surge of warm current, disseminating into every part of his body, filling his Spiritual Sea and slowly strengthening his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd watched as Jiang Yuan devoured the entire shrimp from head to tail in just half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions had turned from shock to numbness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could have imagined that Jiang Yuan could consume a shrimp almost three feet long in its entirety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could he have the bloodline of the ancient mythical beast, the Taotie?” someone murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this everyone agreed, nodding their heads incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, Jiang Yuan began to eat the other shrimp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Black Turtle at this moment, she curled up in her shell, still struggling against the heat of the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though her body was exuding intense meaty fragrance, she remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her only hope now was His Highness Li Liang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as she could endure until his arrival, all her problems would be solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phenomenon of the Spiritual Sea above Wang Yu’s head gradually dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the immense power within his body, he burst out laughing: “Master, I finally succeeded! I successfully broke through to the 9th layer of the Spiritual Sea Realm! The discovery of such a good fortune is truly heaven’s help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark shadow appeared slowly in front of him between his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent! Now you are only one step away from reaching the Divine Bridge Realm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, only one step!” Revealing a sly smile, Wang Yu reached out and used a mystical power in his hand to capture the shadow that seemed like nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuyu, what are you doing?” An elderly voice echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just what, exactly?” Wang Yu smiled at the corners of his mouth: “Please grant me your blessing, Master, and impart me your comprehension of the Divine Bridge Realm so I can break through!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1523,"2026-06-03T14:01:46.760Z",1,"novelbin.me","8a442c10d02b65db197377fcdbac8d43c8849e139b6df526ab692b3ef03ebd67","longevity-starting-from-the-qi-tags-chapter-243","longevity-starting-from-the-qi-tags-chapter-241",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-starting-from-the-qi-tags-cover.jpg"]
