Wuliang Immortal Clan

Chapter 12 Under Qin Mountain

"This beast is really tough."

Xu Yuanjing withdrew his heavy hammer, snorted coldly, and clapped his hands.

His palms were numb; the force of the shock was terrifyingly strong.

"Yuan Jing, your path of cultivating both body and technique is too rigid and strong. Your indomitable nature will make you invincible in the early stages."

However, things in this world don't always have to be confronted head-on. If you don't change your temperament, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later.

Xu Yuanjing recalled his father's admonition, but he simply shook his head and put it out of his mind.

The demonic power of the one-horned boar began to gather in several places: two tusks, a single horn, armor-like skin, and a meaty aroma emanating from its back.

Then a magical flower grew from its forehead.

It grows extremely fast, reaching over three feet tall in the blink of an eye.

Triangular leaves, seven red flowers, symmetrical structure, and then as if accelerated, from a flower bud, petals bloom rapidly, and finally the flower withers, followed by two blood-red fruits that ripen quickly.

It was as if a hundred years of time had been compressed into a single moment, and Xu Yuanjing took it off without any surprise.

The moment it was taken down, the spirit flower turned to ashes from top to bottom in the blink of an eye and fell to the ground.

If it weren't for the two walnut-sized spiritual fruits, he would have thought he was dreaming.

"A first-grade, high-quality Blood Velvet Fruit is a good thing."

Looking at the two fruits in his hands, Xu Yuanjing's face showed satisfaction.

"The horn, fangs, and hide are all materials for refining weapons. There are also about two pounds of tenderloin full of spiritual energy, and two blood velvet fruits. It's hard to divide them up."

Blood velvet fruit is definitely more valuable than other materials, and pigskin can be forged into defensive magical artifacts, making it more valuable than unicorn tusks.

Those two pounds of pork tenderloin, in terms of quality, were at most considered mid-grade first-level, and were vastly different from the other cuts.

Dividing them equally wouldn't be easy. Xu Yuanjing scratched his head. He was definitely not a meticulous person. Looking at the items, he counted on his fingers and tried to divide them into several portions.

"Ahem!"

Xu Yuanlang coughed softly, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on him.

"Fourth Brother, Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, and Uncle, I only attacked once in this battle, so there's really nothing to report."

"Alright then, since you didn't do anything special, this piece of pork tenderloin is mine."

He took the initiative to ask for the worst cut of pork tenderloin.

Upon hearing his words, Xu Yuanlin immediately realized that the current situation was not suitable for splitting the profits equally.

It would be best to distribute them according to their respective merits, so he accepted the horn and fangs.

"My brother and I both want the horn and the fangs!"

"I need this tough leather suit; I'm just missing a defensive magic artifact."

Xu Zhenge stepped forward, bent down and picked up the thick skin. The last two blood velvet fruits naturally belonged to the fourth brother, who had made the greatest contribution and worked the hardest.

"you……"

Fourth Brother looked at the group, tears welling up in his eyes, and finally slapped his thigh hard.

"Alright, in that case, I can't let you down."

After the distribution was completed, the group rested for a while. Taking this opportunity, Xu Yuanlang lit a fire and roasted the pork tenderloin directly.

"Sizzle!"

Flames rose, and a wave of heat mixed with the unique aroma of barbecue spread around. The group consisted of cultivators, who should have already given up their appetites.

But the taste seemed to penetrate their muscles as if it were alive, reaching deep into their stomachs. Everyone instantly felt their mouths water and couldn't help but lick their lips.

"It smells so good, Yuen Long!"

Xu Yuanjing swallowed hard, then crept closer, his eyes fixed on the meat skewers grilling over the fire, glistening with oil, drops of fat dripping into the flames.

With a snap, the aroma intensified dramatically.

Everyone has one!

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuanjing let out a low cheer without any hesitation, then grabbed a skewer of meat and started eating it in large bites, regardless of how hot it was.

He handed the rest of the meat skewers to the remaining people, and Yuan Lin and Yuan Hua thanked him and then hurriedly started eating.

"I don't need it, everyone eat. I'll keep watch for you."

Xu Zhenge waved his hand, then jumped onto a treetop, carefully keeping watch over his surroundings.

"My uncle is really cautious."

Xu Yuanlang felt somewhat ashamed. While the younger generation was indulging their appetites without any restraint, his uncle was still carefully keeping an eye on his surroundings.

"It's probably a case of 'once bitten, twice shy'!"

When my uncle was young, his parents were transporting spiritual items back home, but they were attacked and killed by cultivators from other families. Only my uncle survived by hiding among the goods.

From then on, my uncle became extremely cautious, to the point that we even thought he was overly cautious.

Xu Yuanjing spoke slowly, his expression somewhat wistful. Xu Yuanlang looked at him with a gloomy expression.

"Which family did it?"

"I don't know, the Ma family, the Li family, or Yuchi are all possibilities."

Xu Yuanlang fell silent. This was the norm for various cultivation families. He took out a meat skewer and took a big bite.

"Bang!"

"tasty!"

A burst of hot, rich meat juice exploded in his mouth, and the crispy on the outside and tender on the inside chunks of meat rolled back and forth between his tongue and teeth.

The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became. He could even feel a wisp of aroma slowly traveling down his tongue and into his throat, then down his esophagus and into his stomach.

Suddenly, my stomach felt warm, and a surge of spiritual energy penetrated my stomach and flowed deep into my meridians.

He suddenly opened his eyes; the abundant spiritual energy within the mid-grade first-level pork tenderloin exceeded his expectations.

He then began to circulate his cultivation technique, channeling the restless spiritual energy along his meridians, over and over again.

Strands of spiritual energy circulated wildly through the meridians, then crashed into the dantian like a wild horse.

"Thump!"

It sounded like a muffled thunderclap. He felt a jolt in his body, and then the spiritual energy within his dantian seemed to find a release point, gathering together towards the center of his dantian.

"Hmm? Yuen Long is quite lucky; he actually received a summons for a breakthrough."

Xu Yuanjing, standing to the side, smiled, patted the other two, and then pointed at Xu Yuanlang.

The other two were startled and quickly and carefully retreated, trying not to make a sound.

At this moment, Xu Yuanlang's body suddenly emitted a tremendous attraction.

"Fourth Brother, the spiritual energy around us is scarce. If this continues, Yuan Lang's breakthrough will definitely end in failure."

"I know!"

Xu Yuanjing took out several spirit stones from his body, clenched them tightly, and several clusters of pure spiritual energy flew out from the spirit stones, then rushed into Xu Yuanlang's body. After a few breaths, the suction disappeared.
