Chapter 180 - Cloud Beast Meat"Brother Wei, what"s wrong?" Luo He, who was standing across from him, noticed the change in Xiang Yun"s expression and asked.
"I …" Xiang Yun didn"t know how to reply at this moment. Could it be that, from the looks of you, your heart was beating faster? For a grown man to say such words, wouldn"t others think that he was a pervert?Xiang Yun also did not know what sort of hysteria he had committed. Why did he always have this strange feeling towards Luo He? He had never had this sort of hobby before.
Xiang Yun felt somewhat helpless. It was at this moment that his stomach, knowing that his master was in trouble, suddenly rumbled loudly, breaking this awkward situation.
"It seems like Brother Wei is hungry." Luo He teased him as she heard the sound of Xiang Yun"s stomach.
Xiang Yun rubbed his stomach, a little embarra.s.sed, and nodded his head, "Right, right, I"m a little hungry!"
Xiang Yun was not lying. Ever since he had taken the Fasting Pill, it was already the fifth day. The effect of the Fasting Pill was only equivalent to three days of Fasting. It had already been two days since he had eaten anything.Although the physical fitness of a warrior far exceeded that of an ordinary person, it was still hard to endure hunger if they didn"t eat anything in two days.
"Speaking of which, I"m a little hungry too. Brother Wei, take out some Cloud Beast meat from your storage ring. Let"s take advantage of the bonfire to roast some meat." Luo He said as her pair of shiny black eyes turned.
"What a good idea!" Only now did Xiang Yun remember that there was still a lot of Cloud Beast meat stored in his storage ring.
Xiang Yun hurriedly took out a piece from his storage ring. It was the Cloud Beast meat that he had cut off the ribs of the Blue Flamed Lion. The meat was extremely bright and glowed with a glittering l.u.s.ter, so it naturally looked very delicious.
Xiang Yun took this large piece of meat and first walked to the entrance of the cave. He used a portion of it to wash the snow that had fallen into the tree hole.
After washing the blood off the meat, he found a few branches of dead wood and made a grill that looked like a barbecue. He placed the piece of Cloud Beast meat on top of it and started roasting it under the heat of the bonfire!After finishing all this, Xiang Yun rubbed his hands together, a look of excitement on his face. He had not expected that he would still be able to eat barbeque after coming to this world.
Back in university, Xiang Yun"s favorite thing was to go to the back street of the university, order a large plate of barbecue, and bring over two bottles of beer.
Then, he took out a novel written by Jin Yong. He saw that the heroes were eating meat and drinking wine in large chunks, and he also picked up the kebabs and drank from them, lifting the bottle of wine in one gulp.
Although there was no novel and no wine, Xiang Yun was still very excited. The world he lived in was probably even more absurd and bizarre than the world of Wuxia Master Jin.In this situation, it was truly a miraculous experience for him to have the opportunity to escape the cold and danger in this tree hollow and to raise a bonfire to roast the meat of the Cloud Beast.
This Cloud Beast meat was being roasted on the flames, but Luo He was not idle. He first took out a strange round bottle from his storage ring, opened the bottle stopper, and dripped a drop of golden liquid onto the Cloud Beast meat on the grill.
Soon after, he saw the drop of golden liquid spread out instantly, as if ink had seeped into a piece of paper. Soon, it covered the entire piece of Cloud Beast meat.
Soon after, Luo He took out another blue rock the size of an egg that was emitting wisps of heat.
The latter tossed the stone into the bonfire. To Xiang Yun"s surprise, he discovered that the fire within the bonfire had suddenly grown larger, and the bonfire"s flames had actually turned a light blue color.
"What is this?" Xiang Yun had changed once more. Granny Liu, who had walked into the Grand View Garden, had never seen these things before.
Luo He smiled as she explained, "The name of this golden drop of liquid is" Wood Spirit Fats". It can seal the spiritual energy and the cloud energy essence within the Cloud Beast"s meat."
"Where is that blue stone? How come its flame turned blue as well?"
"The Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion is a fire attribute Cloud Beast. Without the protection of the cloud power, its physical defense will be greatly reduced. However, it is innately resistant to fire. If you roast it with this kind of fire, it might not even be cooked by tomorrow morning.""The stone I threw in was called the Fire Crystal. When it meets fire, it will release a type of extremely hot beast fire. Only then will it be able to roast this piece of Cloud Beast meat."
"So that"s how it is."Xiang Yun was already used to Luo He taking out all of these strange things. He just thought that this world was truly wondrous, that even roasting meat was important.
It was rare for Xiang Yun and Luo He to relax while the two were roasting meat. Both of them stopped cultivating and instead chatted idly.
After a few days of interaction, the trust between the two of them had increased. Luo He was no longer as cold as she was before. The smile on her face was clearly wider, and she was speaking more than before.
"Brother Wei, how did you come to the depths of the Sunset Forest?" How did I end up in the Blue Eyed Red Flame Lion"s lair? "Back then, when Luo He had asked Xiang Yun this question, the latter had merely answered with the words" it"s hard to finish with a single sentence ".
Now that the two had become partners in a life and death situation in the tree cave, Xiang Yun no longer hid anything.
How he had been forced into the Silvermoon Forest, and then accidentally carried by the Spirit Devouring Worm, he had arrived outside of the Blue Eyed Scarlet Flame Lion"s lair, and finally escaped into the cave.Hearing Xiang Yun"s explanation, Luo He couldn"t help but burst out laughing.
"Brother Wei, isn"t your luck way too overpowered? It"s one thing for you to be ambushed and hunted down, but you were actually carried into the Silvermoon Forest by the Spirit Devouring Beetles, and you were almost eaten by these two big fellows."
Xiang Yun"s face was also full of helplessness, but then he looked towards Luo He, "Oh right, Brother Luo He, you said that you came to this Silvermoon Forest by yourself. What do you need? Why did you enter this dangerous place alone?"
Upon hearing this, Luo He hesitated for a moment before saying, "It"s not a big deal. I just heard from my elders that something good has appeared on the northwest border of the Wind Cloud Country. I"ve come from the north side of the Silvermoon Forest, intending to try my luck."
"Ah!" Xiang Yun was immediately shocked upon hearing Luo He"s words. Luo He"s words implied that he had traversed the Silvermoon Forest and was even heading back the same way."Good boy, what kind of treasure are you looking for? You actually dared to traverse the Silvermoon Forest. Brother Luo He, aren"t you a little too daring? The Silvermoon Forest is a forbidden ground that even Heaven Stage experts are unable to traverse."
Luo He curled her lips in disdain as she replied, "What?! A forbidden place for humans? But …"
Halfway through his words, Luo He suddenly changed the topic, "Although this place is very dangerous, I have the map, so I"m not afraid."
Xiang Yun looked at this bear hearted panther youth and could not help but smile bitterly, "Then how were you injured?"
"Hmph, that was just an accident. When I returned, I was pa.s.sing through the heart of the Silvermoon Forest. I wanted to take one with me, and the treasure that originally belonged to my clan clashed with a group of people from the Silvermoon Forest."
"Ah, a group of people. Is there anyone else in this Silvermoon Forest?" Xiang Yun was greatly astonished.
"There are quite a few people, both male and female, old and young. A bunch of people, it"s very lively!" When Luo He mentioned these people, her eyes naturally carried a murderous intent!
"How is this possible?" Xiang Yun really could not imagine this. The Silvermoon Forest was filled with many Cloud Beasts and was filled with dangers. How could there possibly be people living in this sort of place?
Luo He didn"t seem to want to talk about this any further, so Xiang Yun didn"t pursue this matter any further. Instead, he asked, "Then did you get something that belongs to your family?"Luo He"s lips curled up in a complacent smile, "Of course I did. Although they had a large number of people protecting us, I still have my own methods!"
"You stole it?""Uh, this is something that belongs to my family." Luo He"s face was slightly flushed, and her voice was not friendly!
"Un, right, right. This isn"t considered stealing, this is taking it!" Xiang Yun hurriedly agreed.
Luo He"s expression relaxed slightly as she looked at Xiang Yun. "Oh right, Brother Wei, why did you collect the blood of the Nine Poison Yin Python today?"
Today, when Luo He was dissecting the corpses of the Cloud Beasts, Xiang Yun had taken a jade bottle and ran over to the Nine Poison Phosphorus Python, whose body had already exploded. He had collected a full bottle of poisonous, black blood.
Xiang Yun snickered, "I was thinking about it. The Nine Poison Phosphorus Python"s poison is this strong. If it were placed in the Alliance Auction House, it would definitely be able to get a good price for it, no?"
Luo He also smiled and nodded when she heard this. "That"s right. The Allied Trade a.s.sociation is all over the Tianxuan Continent. They"re rich and powerful, and they have tremendous energy. Geniuses, martial skills, poison pills, precious materials, everything is available."
"As long as you want it, you can buy it at that place. Your Yin Scale Poison can be considered to be an extremely good poison. A bottle of it can be auctioned off for at least two thousand cloud crystals."
"So many!" Xiang Yun had not thought that this small bottle of venom would be worth two thousand Cloud Crystals.
"The Yin Scale Poison is very toxic, if this General Grade Nine Poison Python"s venom is ingested by someone, they will definitely die from the black cloud. Even a Mystic Cloud Realm expert would not be able to use the power of the cloud for a period of time."
"More importantly, this poison has a special property. Once it is fused into the strong wine, the original dark green color and stinky smell would disappear completely. It would be a colorless and tasteless liquid that would be perfectly fused into the wine."
"The Yin Scale Poison actually has such a miraculous effect!"Xiang Yun had originally thought that this poison could only be smeared on hidden weapons to attack. After all, this dark green color was simply too eye-catching. As long as one saw it, they would subconsciously feel that it was dangerous and be on guard against it.
However, Luo He"s explanation had undoubtedly helped Xiang Yun resolve this difficult problem. If the poison melted into the wine and was colorless and tasteless, this poison would indeed be worth the high price of two thousand cloud crystals per bottle.
Seeing Xiang Yun"s excited expression, Luo He was also interested and told Xiang Yun about something that had happened in the Great Qin Empire in the center of Merak Continent.
The Great Qin Empire was one of the strongest empires in the Tianxuan Continent. Whether it was strength or territory, it far surpa.s.sed the Wind Cloud Country in the northwest border and was one of the true hegemons of the major empires in the continent.
Luo He said that a few years ago, there was a young man who spent millions of gold in the Great Qin Empire.He bought a jar, and at that time, the most famous courtesan in the Great Qin Empire personally brewed some Nu Er Hong. It shocked the entire Great Qin Royal City.
After that, that person sent someone to send out invitations to the temporary residence in the capital, inviting more than half of the n.o.ble officials and officials to come and have a taste of the female"s beauty.
These officials and dignitaries found this new and interesting. Moreover, they were also interested in this jug of wine that was worth millions of gold. Thus, many people came to make an appointment.
At that time, over a hundred officers and generals had gathered in the courtyard. As the host, he had personally opened the wine jar in front of everyone and had arranged for people to pour wine in succession.As a result, after everyone drank the wine, some of them immediately fell to the ground dead. Some of the martial artists with high cultivation bases had weak bodies and were unable to circulate the cloud energy within their bodies.
Everyone was actually poisoned by the Yin Scale Poison from the wine at the same time, and it was a King Level Nine Poison Python"s poison.
By the time they had reacted, it was already too late. This was because the master, a martial arts master, had attacked like a bolt of lightning and instantly killed over a hundred of the Great Qing Empire"s n.o.bles.In a very short period of time, they had put all the valuable treasures on them into their pockets and then fled.
This incident had even shocked the king of the Great Qin Empire. He had offered a sky-high reward for this person"s head, but in the end, this person managed to escape. This incident had also become one of the few scandals in the Great Qin Empire.
Hearing Luo He"s story, Xiang Yun could not help but stare, dumbfounded. There was actually such a madman in this world that used a king level yin phosphorous poison to poison over a hundred high ranking officials of the Great Qin Empire.
Furthermore, he had poisoned him under the other party"s nose and then killed him and stole his goods before leaving. This fellow was definitely one of the top experts among all bandits!
Xiang Yun had heard of the Great Qin Empire. Back then, when he was still young, he had accompanied his father to Dragon City. Back then, during the imperial family"s banquet, the brothers Xiang Tian and Xiang Lingfeng had discussed the matters of the Great Qin Empire together.At that time, his father had said that if the Wind Cloud Country was able to become a powerful empire like the Great Qin Empire one day, then it would be worthy of his father"s last wish.
When the Emperor Uncle Xiang Lingfeng, also known as the Emperor, heard these words, he gulped down a cup of wine. After sighing, he only said four words.
"It"s easier said than done!"
