Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 832 - 774: The Method for Demon Beast Ascension
The Demon Beast, born under the most superior conditions of the Wilderness World, and having lived arrogantly for countless years, had already formed its deep-rooted perceptions and behavior methods.
How could it possibly know how ordinary demon beasts struggled to survive? To it, they were nothing more than buffet food.
Like the "Emperor who asked why people did not eat minced meat," having never been struck by reality, it could not simply be reprimanded and release its high demeanor. Jiang Yuan understood this well.
Therefore, when Yan Xuan came running over with a sheepish look to apologize to everyone, expressing his hunger and wanting to sit at the table to eat, appearing very well-behaved, Jiang Yuan knew it was just a facade.
Willing to pretend was fine, it showed that the Demon-Subduing Pestle was quite useful.
Once it started eating his food and stayed in the courtyard to recover with ample interaction, raising the initial contract points could lead to punishment.
With the tasks released by the system, slowly clawing back, even the fake can become real!
"Welcome Yan Xuan to officially join our family starting today."
Jiang Yuan placed a table full of steaming, fragrant dishes, raised his wine glass and said: "There has been some past unpleasantness, which it has apologized for, so let it go and not dwell on it. Let’s drink to this, and may we coexist peacefully, helping each other from now on."
"Welcome to join!"
"Cheers!"
......
The aroma of Spiritual Wine pervaded the air, making Yan Xuan drool, indifferent to peace or not, as long as they stayed out of each other’s way.
To squeeze onto the table, it shrank its size twice more.
Its slim claws proved dexterous, learning to use chopsticks after a moment of patient instruction from Hu Zhile. Clutching the wine glass, it downed the Spiritual Wine in one gulp, feeling the wine’s aroma and the vast spiritual power spread within its body, and the pain from earlier seemed to fade.
"How is this made? It’s insanely delicious!" Trying to use chopsticks for the first time, Yan Xuan poked a piece of braised Flood Dragon Meat, taking a bite its eyes widened!
With an incredulous expression, it looked at the meat in its bowl, then at the table full of hot, attractive and flavorful delicacies, suddenly feeling it had been too narrow-minded before.
Not to mention, human-cooked dishes were indeed far tastier than raw ones!
[Yan Xuan’s favorability +100]
[...Favorability +80]
......
Jiang Yuan found it amusing, watching it award favorability points for each dish it tried. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The future Black Tortoise at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, invincible below the Celestial Realm, had never tasted the skills of an Immortal Chef?
Suddenly feeling disillusioned, just like when he first heard that the Emperor’s meals were often cold and lacked precious ingredients.
It was said, fearing giving the Emperor delicious and flavorful dishes during winter when they couldn’t be provided, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and vegetables would be cooked repeatedly.
But the Emperor was still mortal, living within high walls of the Forbidden City could also be deceived by servants.
Yan Xuan was different, mighty and free, where couldn’t it go? What couldn’t it eat?
"Haven’t you ever eaten like this before?" Nearing the end of the meal, seeing its favorability surpass two hearts and initial points rising slightly, Jiang Yuan curiously asked: "What did you most enjoy eating before? I can find and make it for you."
The other’s eating movements immediately paused.
It awkwardly glanced around, pointed at Bai Yunqi and Xie Chenyuan, the strongest presences at the table, and softly said: "Them, I can eat ten in one meal."
The lively table quieted down.
Jiang Yuan: ???
Based on your diet, I need to learn "human ways," right?
Remembering, upon first entering the Sealed Land, vaguely hearing it yell about being hungry and wanting to eat humans, now realizing it meant it!
"Raw?" he asked, shocked.
Yan Xuan nodded, "Demon Beasts eat raw, no concern for taste, as long as the spiritual energy is abundant."
It paused, added: "Previously, you kept saying the method for demon beasts’ ascension was lost, but actually it wasn’t. True demon beasts cultivate like this.
Human cultivators’ bodies are weak, unable to directly consume Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, hence the creation of Elixirs. Trying every method to neutralize the medicinal power, to consume without damaging their fragile meridians.
Demon beasts are different; the strongest asset ensuring survival is a robust body.
Whether food or Heavenly Materials, swallowing raw with unchecked wild spiritual power rampaging inside is the best way to cultivate the body.
That’s why I said... Demon Cultivators abandon their greatest advantage by learning human cultivation, lacking their agility and comprehension talent, instead hindering practice.
Hence the scale you saw before, even having shrunken countless times after the seal.
My true size can carry a landmass.
Among demon beasts, size represents strength.
We don’t require many fancy cultivation techniques; the most basic and primitive is practical, consuming and growing, the larger the size, the more consumed, the stronger the body becomes.
Reaching certain milestones, the tough body withstands thunder tribulations, accepting strikes until no flaws remain throughout, by the right moment, it can break the void for ascension."
This part, Xie Chenyuan heard Bai Yunqi explain in detail.
Cultivating in original form means disregarding food taste, filling the belly is crucial.
He pondered, "Senior, I have a question. If as you say, demon beasts’ cultivation is straightforward and brutish, neglecting techniques or comprehension, merely swallowing, growing, and strengthening, how can the world sustain several Great Demons?"
