Chapter 40

Zhou Lulu said with a sad face: "I like reading and want to worship under the Fourth Elder who specializes in Confucian cultivation, but my father insisted that I choose the Hundred-Refining Peak, saying that the Fourth Elder was stupid from reading and couldn't learn from him."

"Your father is..."

"Fifth Elder Zhou Xin."

Lu Yang immediately shut his mouth. The Hundred-Refining Peak is all yours. Of course, your father wants you to choose your own family.

The main peak of the Hundred-Refining Peak is a crimson mountain peak, towering into the clouds, as if a volcano is erupting, illuminating the sky.

I don't know if it's because of long-term weapon refining, or if the Hundred-Refining Peak is like this, in short, the temperature here is slightly higher than other places.

It is now early spring, and the Hundred-Refining Peak seems to have entered summer.

Lu Yang felt his skin prickling, as if something was drilling into his body. His body consciously circulated his cultivation technique, forming a thin layer of protective film like a cicada's wing outside his body.

Zhou Lulu explained in a low voice on the side: "Junior Brother, what you are sensing is the Gold-Earth Qi. There are too many magic treasures forged in the Hundred-Refining Peak, and the Gold-Earth Qi also permeates the air, but it is not harmful to cultivators. You will get used to it."

"But Junior Brother, your reaction is very fast. Few people are like you."

Lu Yang smiled: "My cultivation technique is very easy to use."

Lu Yang also heard the clanging sound. In Lu Yang's imagination, there should be a senior brother holding a large iron hammer and hitting refined iron violently, with sparks splashing, and a hundred refinements becoming steel.

He looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was the cafeteria.

"Hmm—"

Lu Yang felt that it didn't seem unacceptable.

Got used to it.

The entrance of the cafeteria is full of fireworks, people coming and going, laughing and talking, carrying various foods and gesturing, as if holding a broad sword, acting for justice everywhere.

It's like students passing by the cafeteria to buy food after class, and also like chivalrous men who have just walked out of a weapon shop.

"Is Li Haoran here?" Lu Yang remembered that Fire Spiritual Root Li Haoran worshiped under the Fifth Elder. In theory, his realm was similar to his own. I don't know what realm he had actually cultivated to.

Zhou Lulu shook her head: "Junior Brother Li hasn't left seclusion yet and is not qualified to sell food in the cafeteria. Father said that Li Haoran has a good foundation and needs to soak in magma more to have better development."

"Listening to others, at first Junior Brother Li was still screaming when soaking in magma, but later there was no movement. He should have gotten used to it."

"... Is it possible that he didn't get used to it, but he was cooked?"

"Hmm?"

Lu Yang didn't expect that his own soaking in boiling water wasn't the most miserable. Senior Sister was still too friendly to him.

Not seeing Li Haoran was a bit of a pity, otherwise he could have exchanged bath-soaking experiences.

Zhou Lulu came to the noisy cafeteria, and her enthusiasm disappeared without a trace. She retreated, stepped back quietly, and spoke at a very fast speed, like a machine gun: "Junior Brother Lu, the food in the cafeteria is cheap and good, and the seller is honest. You can buy it yourself."

Zhou Lulu ran away without a trace after speaking. Lu Yang didn't even see how she disappeared.

Lu Yang sighed. It seems he can only rely on himself.

"Braised fish bones, freshly made braised fish bones, the best choice for sawing trees and cutting people, everyone who has used it says it's good!"

"Sesame seed cakes, freshly baked fresh meat sesame seed cakes, sesame seed cakes that won't break even if you punch and kick them!"

"Take a look, take a look, noodles harder than steel bars, essential for tying people up. Once tied, you can't break free. Buy now and get a free binding tutorial!"

The cafeteria is like a vegetable market in the mortal world. The stall owners are all shouting to sell their food. The only difference is that the cafeteria is much noisier than the vegetable market—the stall owners have high cultivation and loud voices.

Lu Yang saw a senior brother holding a braised fish bone in one hand. The fish bone was as sharp as a sharp blade. A light stroke was like being bitten by a ferocious shark, and the wound was extremely deep.

The senior brother selling braised fish bones enthusiastically promoted: "Junior Brother, do you want a fish bone? This is a fish demon from the Green Wave Pool. It had the strength of the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage before it died. The remaining fish bones are very hard. Senior Brother refined it for a long time before refining these few. It can be used as a weapon when fighting, and it can also be used as food when hungry."

After saying that, he heard a crunch, and he bit off a fish bone.

I don't know how the teeth were refined.

Lu Yang looked at the very useful fish bone and then looked at the price.

Well, can't afford it.

Seeing Lu Yang smile apologetically, the senior brother didn't force it and continued to promote to others.

Lu Yang saw another senior brother take action directly, took the fried dough sticks out of the oil pan, and drained the oil.

"Junior Brother, do you want one? There are those used in the Foundation Establishment stage, and those used in the Golden Core stage. Those used in the Foundation Establishment stage only need one hundred and fifty contribution points."

In terms of price, it is indeed cheaper than the Mountain-Crashing Hammer on the redemption list. The Mountain-Crashing Hammer is two hundred and seventy contribution points, and the fried dough sticks only use one hundred and fifty contribution points. The price is almost double the difference.

"The advantage of my fried dough sticks is not just hardness. It contains three layers of dark energy. One blow down, the three layers of dark energy overlap and erupt, and the power is amazing, which can catch the enemy off guard."

"If you are hungry and want to eat, it's no problem. The shelf life is very long."

After saying that, the senior brother selling fried dough sticks also took a bite. The three layers of dark energy erupted in his mouth. Besides his mouth bulging, nothing happened.

"Senior Brother, I am a newcomer, and I don't understand some things. Why can our fried dough sticks be used as weapons and food? Can they really be bitten?"

The senior brother saw Lu Yang's cultivation. Since he is a Junior Brother in the Foundation Establishment stage, he must be a newcomer. It is normal for newcomers to have questions about this.

"This is a way to exercise and verify one's own refining results."

"The so-called body refining, of course, is to internally refine the internal organs and bones, and externally refine the skin and seven orifices. Only then can it be called a true body cultivator. Besides that, teeth are also an indispensable link."

"I heard that some body cultivators have refined their bones and skin to the extreme. Under their reckless collision, even the mountains tremble, which can be called excellent. When others face these body cultivators who are invulnerable to swords and spears, they are very troubled, so they come up with a solution."

"What solution?"

"They use spells like changing body size at will to shrink their bodies and attack these body cultivators from the inside. These body cultivators haven't exercised their internal organs, and it's easy to be defeated by others using this method."

"These people can't be counted as true body cultivators, or they are called wild-path body cultivators."

The senior brother's teeth touched, making a sound like metal collision.

They who refine weapons are half body cultivators. Their body strength cannot be compared with true body refiners, but they have refined both internally and externally.

"Ordinary cultivators use magic treasures as weapons, and the body of a body cultivator is the strongest weapon. Since it is the strongest weapon, eating fried dough sticks is not a difficult task."

Lu Yang understood. The food in the cafeteria is extremely functional and can be divided into two roles: one is to be sold as a weapon to non-body refiners like himself, and the other is to be sold as food to body refiners.

"Meng Jingzhou worships under the Third Elder and is a proper body cultivator. He should be able to bite it."

Thinking of this, Lu Yang bought a fried dough stick, waved it twice, heavy, with a considerable sense of weight.
