Chapter 1299: G.o.ddess Natty
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
There was a tremendous amount of mind power and knowledge in the sarira. It looked like a golden ocean. Zhang Ruochen’s mind power was like a drop of water compared to that golden ocean.
Zhang Ruochen could recklessly absorb the mind power and knowledge from the sarira and transform them into his own knowledge to improve his mind power.
Of course, the sarira could do more than just improve the mind power of monks. It could improve monks’ cultivation as well. However, Zhang Ruochen’s meridians and holy meridians had all been destroyed, so he couldn’t absorb the holy power and saintly way rules from the sarira.
The sarira represented the Buddha Emperor and the Golden Dragon.
After only a short while, Zhang Ruochen’s mind power was greatly improved, close to level fifty-three.
Zhang Ruochen smelled the meat. He stopped refining and opened his eyes. He saw Qing Mo roasting a dragon claw.
It wasn’t an entire dragon claw, but a small piece of it. However, it was still ten feet long. It was at least one thousand pounds.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the dragon meat. Qing Mo laughed and felt accomplished.
Liu Li Female Saint and Yuanshu Female Saint both stopped recovering. They smelled the delicious food and licked their lips.
The food of Qing Mo was so tempting that n.o.body could suppress their appet.i.te.
In the end, the dragon meat was fully cooked.
They started to share the meat. Zhang Ruochen and the two female saints didn’t care about their images. They tried to get as much meat as possible. After a short while, there were grease stains on their mouths as they finished the dragon meat completely.
Liu Li Female Saint licked her fingers and said, “Before meeting Qing Mo, I never expected someone to have cooking skills that could rival that G.o.ddess in the palace. I didn’t expect to eat something so delicious today.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “There’s someone who has cooking skills that can rival those of Qing Mo?”
Liu Li Female Saint nodded and said, “There’re nine maidens serving the Empress. Each of them has incredible power, and we can only admire them. One of the maidens got the inheritance from the ancient cooking G.o.d, and she has the most extraordinary pair of hands. She’s called G.o.ddess Natty. Every dish she cooks is absolutely delicious, and they have the power to improve someone’s cultivation and mind power. One dish is like a saint pill.”
“One dish is like a saint pill? That’s ridiculous.”
Zhang Ruochen found it hard to believe as he knew how precious saint pills were. If one dish could rival a saint pill, those alchemists would’ve lost their jobs already.
Yuanshu Female Saint shook her head and said, “We’re not exaggerating. Although only the Empress can enjoy the dishes cooked by G.o.ddess Natty, as the female officials working for the Empress, we were lucky enough to try some of the dishes our Empress bestowed upon us. Every time we tried the dishes, our power surged.”
Liu Li Female Saint nodded and said, “Actually, it’s very difficult for me and Yuanshu to become saints. However, we entered Xuanhuang Realm after only two hundred years and surpa.s.sed many great talents. It’s not just because of the special environment in Ziwei Palace, but also the dishes made by G.o.ddess Natty.”
Yuanshu Female Saint said, “The dragon meat cooked by Qing Mo also contains the mysterious power to improve monks’ cultivation. However, it still can’t rival that of G.o.ddess Natty. They’re equally delicious though. Qing Mo is definitely the best cook in the mortal realm, but G.o.ddess Natty has the inheritance from the cooking G.o.d. They’re skills of G.o.ds, not of the mortal realm.”
It was incredible to have the inheritance of a G.o.d.
Even saints couldn’t imagine the inheritance of G.o.ds.
Qing Mo didn’t care about it. She smiled. “I’m just a girl who cooks. I can’t rival that G.o.ddess Natty. If I’m lucky enough to meet her in the future, I’ll definitely ask her for instruction.”
Zhang Ruochen stood up and looked down. He said, “A saint is rus.h.i.+ng toward the top of the mountain. He’s really quick. He’s at least entered the Heaven Pa.s.s Realm.”
Liu Li Female Saint and Yuanshu Female Saint were suppressed by the mountain, so their senses had greatly declined.
“Is a mind power saint really that impressive? We’re all saints. How come he’s that strong?”
The two female saints looked at each other, stood up at the same time, walked to Zhang Ruochen and looked down.
After a short while, a blood-red being rushed up, and she was carrying tremendous holy Qi storms, messing with the spiritual Qi around the mountain.
She was holding a holy sword, and there was fire burning on her smooth skin. Her crimson hair was waving, leaving fiery spots in the air.
“It’s martial saint…”
“Martial saint is being chased by immortal vampires. Please, help her.”
Liu Li Female Saint and Yuanshu Female Saint couldn’t help grabbing Zhang Ruochen’s arms. They looked at him and regarded him as a savior.
Cang Lan Martial Saint was injured, and her face was pale. There was blood at the corner of her mouth, with saint blood all over her fiery phoenix armor. Every step she took would leave a blood-red footprint.
There was a lot of blood mist behind her.
“Cang Lan Martial Saint, why are you still struggling. You’re not getting away today!”
“You’ve killed four of our blood saints. Do you really think you can get away?”
“Haha, I really want to marry a maiden and make her my concubine. Will those human soldiers be furious seeing me violate a maiden?”
…
More than ten blood saints rushed out of the blood mist and climbed up the mountain.
As far as they were concerned, Cang Lan Martial Saint would definitely die if she climbed to the top of the mountain. There was no way she could make it out. They were encircling her, and now, they were waiting to kill her.
“Please, mister, help our martial saint. We’ll do anything you ask us to do.”
Liu Li Female Saint was very anxious. She had to turn to Zhang Ruochen for help.
Zhang Ruochen sighed. “You’re overestimating me. I’m not as strong as you think, and besides, I’ve been severely injured. I can’t fight them.”
Liu Li Female Saint and Yuanshu Female Saint were upset, but then, they rushed out of the rugged palace to meet Cang Lan Martial Saint.
They couldn’t do anything to help because they had been severely injured, but they could at least blow up their saint sources to end the immortal vampires.
Just as they rushed to the edge of the Taoist temple, they stepped into a s.p.a.ce formation.
And then, they felt that their bodies were out of their control. They were rus.h.i.+ng forward, but their bodies moved to the right or backward. They couldn’t leave the area at all.
“What is this…”
Both the female saints stopped. However, it was of no use. This area was bizarre, and they couldn’t get out at all.
Cang Lan Martial Saint left the Taoist temple. She saw them both and yelled, “Leave here now. A large group of immortal vampire saints is coming here.”
However, the two female saints couldn’t hear what she was saying. They were still walking slowly. Sometimes, they stepped back, sometimes, they jumped up, and sometimes, they moved to the left.
Cang Lan Martial Saint frowned. Seeing them rush out, she decided to bring them out.
After she trespa.s.sed in the s.p.a.ce formation, she lost control of her body also.
Cang Lan Martial Saint stopped and sneered. “It’s just a formation. It’s not going to trap me.”
She grabbed the handle, and a fiery sword Qi that was more than ten feet long was wielded.
However, the attack power didn’t touch the ground. Instead, it showed up above her head and cut toward her neck.
“No.”
Cang Lan Martial Saint was shocked. She wielded her holy sword and slashed upward, trying to ward off the sword Qi coming from above.
The sword changed directions and cut toward her waist.
Cang Lan Martial Saint crushed a guarding jade rune, forming a defense light mask to ward off the two traces of sword Qi. It was her last guarding jade rune. She didn’t expect to use that to ward off the two strikes.
Fortunately, she still had one guarding jade run left, otherwise, it would have been a joke if Cang Lan Martial Saint was killed by him.
With that lesson, Cang Lan Martial Saint didn’t dare move anymore. She then stood there and observed.
Cang Lan Martial suddenly laid eyes on two beings standing outside the Taoist temple. One of them was a sick young man, and the other was like a sixteen-year-old blue-caped girl.
They were Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo.
Zhang Ruochen entered the s.p.a.ce formation and brought Liu Li Female Saint and Yuanshu Female Saint out.
And then, he walked to Cang Lan Martial Saint and said, “Follow me closely.”
Cang Lan Martial Saint stared at the back of Zhang Ruochen. She reckoned that he might have been the one who had established the formation.
Cang Lan Martial Saint followed him and memorized the position of the steps.
After entering the Taoist temple, Liu Li Female Saint and Yuanshu Female Saint greeted her and asked how badly she had been injured.
“They’re just some minor wounds. Most of the saint blood on my body came from the immortal vampires.”
Even though Cang Lan Martial Saint had been severely injured, she still looked calm. She stood straight.
Zhang Ruochen stood aside and didn’t expose her lies. He looked down and saw the blood mist gus.h.i.+ng up.
He didn’t want trouble, yet trouble had found him.
