Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 34 Fallen Spirit Sculpting

Two Divine Skills!

Yang Chan was shocked to find that this guy, who was known for being lazy and gluttonous in the Heavenly Court, had actually awakened two Divine Skills!

What’s more, he managed to stay unharmed under Guanyin’s hands, and although her own strength was modest, she knew how powerful Buddhism’s Guanyin was.

No, she had to work hard too; she could not lose to this guy!

Even the Xiaotian Dog found it unbelievable, "Can one really comprehend Divine Skills just by eating here?"

"Absolutely!" Before Chen Nuo could respond, his loyal fan Tian Peng stood up, showing off his Divine Skill that made him as immune to pain as a dead pig is to boiling water.

"Brother also broke through to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm and realized a new Divine Skill after eating Shopkeeper Chen’s beef noodles," Yang Chan added.

"I see." Tian Peng nodded, understanding why Yang Jian had been able to bloom twenty-eight grades as a Daluo Golden Immortal and then forcefully slay Lingji. It turned out that all this was thanks to Shopkeeper Chen.

Shopkeeper Chen is amazing!

Tian Peng felt there was nothing to be envious or jealous of; Yang Jian had eaten only once, and he ate there every day, so when he broke through to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, he’d definitely be even stronger!

Hearing what the two were saying, the Xiaotian Dog became even more anxious; it turned out that this was why its master had grown stronger.

This was about Divine Skills, after all; even if it wasn’t for acquiring Golden Immortal Magical Treasures, obtaining a Taiyi Golden Immortal Magical Treasure would be worth it!

Regrettably, it didn’t even have a Heavenly Immortal treasure to offer.

"Shopkeeper Chen, today I will comprehend another Divine Skill!" Tian Peng patted his chest, making a fervent declaration.

The previous two comprehensions had filled him with confidence.

"Hmm? How did this menu end up on the floor without anyone picking it up?" Picking it up, Tian Peng scrutinized the menu once again.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke, "Shopkeeper Chen, give me this crispy fried chicken!"

He ordered the same thing as I did!

Seeing that Tian Peng made no move after speaking, the Xiaotian Dog quickly said, "You have to pay before you can eat!"

"Bajie was my shop’s first VIP customer; a one-time top-up for ten meals grants one free meal, and his money is already topped up, so there’s no need to pay again!" Chen Nuo explained.

He also had an obligation to protect the rights of the shop’s VIPs.

"Bajie?" Yang Chan was a bit slow to catch on.

"That’s my nickname," Tian Peng said offhandedly.

Whatever Shopkeeper Chen wants to call me, that’s what I am!

Seeing the Xiaotian Dog’s anxious expression, Yang Chan didn’t want it to have come for nothing.

"Shopkeeper, can I pay for him?" she asked.

Chen Nuo shook his head and said, "Only those with the same billing standard can help pay!"

Yang Chan sighed; there was nothing she could do. All she had was her Precious Lotus Lantern, but how could she give away her personal Spiritual Treasure?

"Tian Peng, what’s your billing standard?" the Xiaotian Dog asked eagerly.

"Golden Immortal Magical Treasures!"

Whoosh!

The Xiaotian Dog instantly transformed into a flash of light and appeared in front of Tian Peng, its eyes filled with excitement and eagerness, "Big guy, take me with you!"

"I barely have enough for myself!" Tian Peng shook his head repeatedly, promptly refusing.

"Come on!" The Xiaotian Dog flattered non-stop, praising Tian Peng’s recent battle with Guanyin.

Even Tian Peng, with his thick skin, started to feel a bit embarrassed by the praise. He thought about how he was quite well-off that day and in a burst of enthusiasm decided, "Alright, I’ll treat you today!"

"What a generous Marshal!" The Xiaotian Dog beamed with joy, continuing with the flattery.

Upon hearing Tian Peng’s cheerful mood, Erlang Shen sure raised a good dog!

After deducting Tian Peng’s money for two portions, Chen Nuo cheerfully proceeded to the kitchen.

Finally, more people were coming, although one of them wasn’t human. But at least it boosted the consumption.

Before long, two plates of fried chicken and a bowl of beef noodles were served.

Thanks to Tian Peng’s frequent visits, Chen Nuo was prepared, and the ingredients for various dishes were already ready.

Looking at the two enticing plates of drumsticks, Yang Chan felt a tinge of regret, but Tian Peng and Xiaotian Dog didn’t care about that and got straight to business!

"Xiaotian Dog..." Yang Chan really couldn’t help but say, "Can you give..."

The moment Xiaotian Dog heard Yang Chan speak, it shivered with alertness, and before she could finish her sentence, it instinctively stuck out its tongue and swiftly licked the plate.

"What did you say?" With the taste of the chicken leg lingering in his mouth, Xiaotian Dog felt a bit light-headed.

"Nothing, just eat." Yang Chan had a face full of resignation, holding back what she wanted to say.

Tian Peng saw it all but just smiled, with no intention of sharing his own treat!

He couldn’t wait to pick up a piece and took a bite.

Hot, scalding juices, like resplendent clouds at dawn, instantly ignited his dormant taste buds.

Tender, a succulence he had never experienced before made Tian Peng lose his composure, and when he snapped back to reality, he felt an inexplicable excitement.

Salty, the source of the savory flavor was not salt; the complex aroma sank rapidly, settling at the bottom of his heart and turning sweet.

Spicy, the sharp heat exploded with the crispy skin in an instant, uneven pain landing on the base of the tongue and slowly melting away.

Unexpected, yet harmonious.

The layers of flavor in the fried chicken were like notes on a score, harmonic and delightful. Tian Peng truly admired Shopkeeper Chen’s ability, no matter what dish he made.

Although each flavor was distinct, they always struck the tender spot in one’s soul. Xiaotian Dog, with its limited vocabulary, just kept exclaiming how delicious it was, thoroughly enjoying the meal.

Yang Chan ate her noodles with a sullen heart. But with the first bite, she forgot her displeasure and slipped into indulgence.

"Haha, I’ve figured it out!" Xiaotian Dog suddenly burst out laughing. The chicken leg in its mouth almost choked him, and he quickly started coughing violently.

"Ding, Xiaotian Dog has consumed crispy fried chicken leg and awakened the Divine Skill Myriad Smell Divine Spirit. Would you like to synchronize this awakening?" The system’s voice suddenly rang beside Chen Nuo’s ear.

What a dog, indeed—Myriad Smell Divine Spirit, a divine skill of scent, which allows one to smell all things in the world. The range would increase with proficiency in the skill.

"Awaken." Chen Nuo rubbed his forehead, feeling it somewhat cheapened the experience, but as it was not too conspicuous standing up, it was just a matter of smelling.

After accepting the inheritance, Chen Nuo instantly activated the skill, which elevated his sense of smell to a new level, then he turned his gaze to Yang Chan, who had closed her eyes and had fallen into sudden enlightenment.

If things went as expected, she too would awaken, wouldn’t she?

After eating the noodles, Yang Chan once again remembered the image of her mother, Yao Ji, the parting of life and death replaying before her eyes.

Two lines of tears streamed down her cheeks.

With trembling hands, Yang Chan finally mustered the courage during a cycle of reincarnation and reached out. Although, in Chen Nuo’s eyes, she was grabbing at thin air.

But in her imagination, she was holding her mother’s hand, and at that moment of connection, an enlightenment dawned in Yang Chan’s mind.

Divine Skill: Fallen Spirit Sculpting!

Using the deceased’s belongings as a medium, forcibly shaping the soul to reside within a Magical Treasure, retaining memories from life. Even if the soul is shattered into pieces, by gathering Mana for ninety-nine days, it is possible to reconstruct the soul!

To reconstruct the soul? Could it be!

Yang Chan’s eyes widened, her breath hitched; it seemed she had thought of something, her face full of urgency. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

She hurriedly finished the remaining beef noodles, quickly stood up, and bowed deeply to Chen Nuo, "Thank you, I have urgent matters to attend to and must leave now!"
