Mountain and River Stewed Meat

Feeling relaxed, Lin Quan hummed an off-key tune as he sped through the air, teleporting to search for the shiny treasures.

Days pass by, years turn.

He traversed the four corners of the earth and the eight wastelands, collecting countless innate treasures.

When a spiritual root is planted into a Chaos World Pearl, all spiritual treasures and supreme artifacts will recognize their master with a drop of blood.

Since obtaining the Chaos World Pearl, the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, and the Dao Stele, I have never seen a trace of the Chaos Spiritual Treasure again.

The further you go, the harder it is to find good things.

"Three years, and I haven't gotten a single thing."

"Thirty years, no matter how fast you fly, you still won't be able to touch a sword."

"They drilled underground for hundreds of years and dived underwater for hundreds of years, only to return empty-handed."

"The Primordial Chaos Manual has thirty-seven levels, and the cultivation level has reached the ninth-order Profound Immortal."

He took a deep breath, felled trees to build a hut, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and began to revise the Primordial Codex.

Sun rises and sets, year after year, tens of thousands of years slip by silently.

"Peak God-King...I'm stuck."

He rubbed his temples, then got up and left.

Less than ten minutes later, a red wolf came into view... larger than an elephant, it charged straight at you, its tusks gleaming white.

"Wolf demon? Demon race? They're treating me like roast meat."

This red wolf is indeed highly talented; despite being a third-tier Celestial Immortal, it still couldn't transform into human form.

He opened his bloody mouth, his body stiffened, and he collapsed with a thud.

Lin Quan glanced at it... his soul had already dissipated.

At the peak of the God-King realm, killing Heavenly Gods is as easy as ants, let alone mere Celestial Immortals.

"I've been here for so long and haven't had a single bite of meat. Today I'm finally breaking my fast."

He took out the superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Mountain and River Pot, peeled off its skin and removed the dirt, scooped up water and washed it clean, his movements swift and efficient.

Lin Quan has comprehended the principles of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the laws of time and space, and possesses a number of spells with corresponding attributes.

He took out several seasonings from the Chaos World Pearl... Over the years, he had searched all over the wilderness and had long prepared salt, spices and the like.

He used to be so focused on treasure hunting and rigorous cultivation that he never got hungry, and he never bothered with things like killing demons and cooking meat.

Now that his cultivation is stuck at a bottleneck, a demonic wolf at the third-tier Celestial Immortal realm has barged in, as if the heavens themselves have delivered meat to his door...

The top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the "Mountain and River Pot," had been in my possession for many years, and this was the first time I had put it to use.

The demon wolf barely qualifies as a sacrificial offering.

The mountain and river pot rose into the air, and a cluster of blue flames drifted to the bottom of the pot.

The tiny flame, no bigger than a fingertip, was his natal divine fire, far surpassing the power of ordinary immortal fire.

If he weren't the owner of this treasure, the fire alone wouldn't have been able to activate the Mountain and River Cauldron.

The moment the blue flame touched it, the array patterns inside the pot began to flow.

"The fragrance can travel for miles? It's probably impossible to stop it even from ten thousand miles away."

The aroma exploded instantly, so rich it was almost overwhelming, spreading and surging in all directions.

In less than three seconds, the wolf meat was cooked through and flavorful.

"The texture was just right, and the aroma was so strong it seemed to seep into your very bones... It was the first time I'd ever tasted such delicious meat."

"With this pot, you can just throw everything in; you don't even need to add salt."

Lin Quan buried his head in his food, completely ignoring the several demonic figures flying in from afar.

Who wouldn't want too many groceries delivered to their door?

Within the Chaos World Pearl lies a small realm under his control.

Whether it's a God Emperor or a God Venerable, as soon as they step into the bead, they immediately lose their supernatural powers and become unable to move.

He was one of the earliest innate gods and demons in this world, so he was very confident.

While others were still shuffling on the ground, he was already riding the wind in the sky;

While others are just taking flight, he has already shrunk the earth to an inch and traveled a thousand miles in the blink of an eye.

Even if there is a truly exceptional talent whose cultivation level is a realm higher than his, the outcome is still uncertain.

He collected the most unclaimed, naturally occurring items... He knew this perfectly well.

Those that run on the ground are as slow as shuffling; those that fly in the sky can't outrun his teleportation.

Using his speed, he swept across the surrounding area, collecting all the scattered treasures.

As for whether others had acquired the technique or when, he was too lazy to calculate.

No matter how good one's innate talent, if one's cultivation years are too short, how far can one's realm reach?

One by one, the demons who rushed in were casually captured into the Chaos World Pearl by him.

Once inside, they were all confined to a single continent.

He divided the small world within the pearl into the Nine Provinces plus a storage space:

The storage area was piled high with innate spiritual materials; on one continent, tens of thousands of innate spiritual roots were densely planted...

A dozen minutes later, a middle-aged man came running up, panting.

"Uncle Da?" Lin Quan looked up and was slightly taken aback.

"Hello." Ghost King Da swallowed hard, grinned, and said, "You recognize me?"

"You look...like someone I used to know," Lin Quan replied.

"Young brother, I am Ghost King Da." He cupped his hands and introduced himself.

"My surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Quan. You can just call me A-Quan." Lin Quan smiled and handed over a bowl.

"Ah Quan, what does this meat taste like? It smells so good it's making my soul float away!" Ghost King Da's eyes lit up.

"Wolf meat." Lin Quan picked up a piece and handed it over. "Uncle Da, want a bite?"

"Then I won't be polite." He picked up his chopsticks and started rummaging through the food like a whirlwind.

The two ate and chatted, and before they knew it, the more than 1,000 jin of wolf meat was gone.

They've all transmigrated here, and they're all innate gods and demons. Even if you stewed ten wolves, they could still eat them.

Ghost King Da didn't get any proper cultivation techniques, so he relied on the old boxing techniques he had practiced before transmigrating to fight his way to the peak of the third-tier Xuanxian.

In this desolate forest, even breathing increases one's cultivation level... Find a mountain hollow, sleep for thousands of years, and you'll steadily become an immortal;

With a little effort, becoming a deity isn't difficult;

With a bit of luck, swallowing a primordial spiritual fruit could lead to instant ascension.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Ghost King Da took out two fruits and gave one to Lin Quan: "This fruit can enhance your cultivation."

Lin Quan took a small bite; the juice was sweet and refreshing, but he felt no ripples in his body… For him, this little bit of effect was practically the same as not eating anything at all.

After resting for a while, the two sparred for a few moves, and Lin Quan casually taught him a body-refining technique.

The Five Elements Body Refining Technique has twelve levels. Once mastered, one's physical body is comparable to a primordial spiritual treasure.

He taught all eleven levels of the teachings.

Over the years, he has often looked at the Taoist inscription.

After seeing a lot, he comprehended various spells and also the methods of cultivating qi, refining the body, and refining the spirit.

"Thanks!" Ghost King Da's heart was burning, but he could only squeeze out two words, his palms trembling slightly.

"Uncle Da, do you have any handy tools on you?" Lin Quan asked.

"This is it." Ghost King Da pulled out a hammer.

Before he finished speaking, a suit of armor of the same level was handed over.

The innate spiritual treasures he collected were piled up like mountains; there were also several thousand innate supreme treasures.

In his eyes, a top-grade spiritual treasure armor was nothing special.

The Yin-Yang Five Elements Flag, when used alone, is merely a low-grade innate treasure; when all seven are used together, its offensive and defensive power far surpasses that of even the highest-grade flags.

The Yin and Yang flags can be used to form a Yin-Yang formation. The five flags of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth each form their own formation. When all seven flags are deployed, the Yin-Yang Five Elements formation will naturally take shape.

Lin Quan already possessed a complete set of Yin-Yang Five Elements Flags; ordinary top-grade innate treasure-level defensive magic weapons were no longer of interest to him.

Setting up an array consumes far less energy than activating a top-grade innate treasure... Setting up an array with a single thought borrows the power of heaven and earth; while activating other magical treasures requires draining one's own essence, energy, and spirit.

"Ah Quan, in a few days, Fairy Mei will be giving a sermon at Meishan. Shall we go and listen?" Ghost King Da asked with a smile.

"Fairy Plum?" Lin Quan paused slightly.

"His surname is Ruan, and he attained godhood three thousand years ago..." Ghost King Da revealed everything he knew without holding anything back.

"Okay, let's go take a look." Lin Quan nodded in agreement.

The two walked and talked as they headed towards Meishan.
