Chapter 79 Roasted Tiger Meat, Enjoying It to the Fullest

At the entrance of the village stands a huge rock, about two zhang high, with the three characters "Heihe Village" carved in a flamboyant and elegant style, unlike anything one would expect in the countryside.

"Uncle Fu".

We're back!

A man roared loudly.

Before long, an old man pushed open the door and came out. He glanced in this direction and was so frightened that his soul trembled. He called out to the village, "Quick, quick, grab your weapons! A tiger is coming!"

A burst of noise.

Then they saw dozens of men, holding iron rakes, wooden sticks and iron nets, gathered together with tense expressions, and walking towards this place.

Only when they got closer did they realize that it wasn't a big tiger at all, but clearly a young boy carrying a tiger.

"Guards..."

"The madam has sent the guards again!"

Uncle Fu was overjoyed, and the surrounding people cheered.

This Uncle Fu, whose full name is Fu Changshou, is the village chief of Heihe Village. He is seventy-seven years old this year, making him a long-lived elder.

Upon their first meeting, they exchanged names and a few words. Uncle Fu said, "Sir, please come with me, I will arrange your accommodation."

They walked along the country path, where the snow had been cleared. After a while, Uncle Fu asked curiously, "Aren't you tired carrying Big Tiger? Should I have someone help you carry it?"

"No need." Li Xian jumped up with all her might, still half a foot off the ground. "It's not easy, but it's not tiring either. You just lead the way."

"Sir, you are much more capable than the previous ones." Uncle Fu said with a fawning expression.

The village has about a hundred households. The houses are built of mud, wood, and thatch, isolated from the outside world, and quite desolate.

After turning a corner, about a hundred feet west of the west entrance of the village, there is an abandoned wooden house.

It is built entirely of wood and has a fence around it.

The place had been uninhabited for a long time, and weeds grew rampant. But when it snowed in winter, the snow covered the area, and the weeds withered away.

The snow was up to knee-deep.

"Hehe, sir, please wait a moment, I'll call someone to help you clean up right away."

Uncle Fu left, leaning on his cane.

Before long, five young men arrived, nodded respectfully to Li Xian, and began clearing the snow.

Li Xian put down the giant tiger, but didn't stay idle. He grabbed the eaves and jumped onto the roof. He stomped on it; the wooden house was quite sturdy.

He unleashed his "Gentle Breeze Leg," sweeping the snow from the rooftop with a powerful kick, sending it billowing out of the yard.

"good!"

"sharp!"

Uncle Fu and the others clapped and praised them. Li Xian ignored them and kicked in another direction. After several kicks, the snow on the roof was gone.

The wooden house wasn't big, but it was much better than the houses in the village.

"Living here alone is much more comfortable than in the village!"

Li Xian was overjoyed and entered the house, which contained a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen. The kitchen was built of yellow mud, making it less prone to fire.

It means there is nothing at all.

The room contained no bedding, no stove, no tables or chairs. It seemed that the villagers had taken everything.

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Bedding and cooking pot, bring them here right away!"

Uncle Fu scolded.

After half an hour of this back and forth, the house was fully furnished and no longer felt cramped for living.

"Uncle Fu, thank you very much."

Li Xian cupped his hands in greeting.

"No, no, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Uncle Fu asked, "Sir, you're new here, and it's getting late. Why don't you come to my house for a meal?"

“I hunted the tiger and will eat it myself. Besides, you probably don’t have much food left at home. Having another mouth to feed will only make you feel bad for a long time.”

Li Xian laughed heartily.

"Ouch!"

"Grandpa, you have the heart of a Bodhisattva!" Uncle Fu exclaimed.

"What bodhisattva's heart? You can go back now." Li Xian saw that it was getting dark, and the village was in the mountains, where the night was pitch black and it would be difficult to travel.

"Yes, yes, please forgive us for our poor hospitality, sir." Uncle Fu led the five men away.

Li Xian rubbed his shoulders. He lit an oil lamp, illuminating the room brightly. It was already evening, and in the distance, the setting sun could be seen, bisected by a steep peak.

I could smell the mountain forest air.

Li Xian enjoyed a moment of peace. He was naturally unrestrained, and sometimes he would rather be in more danger than be so free. Of course... his life was always the most important thing.

"Now my younger brother has gone to the prefectural city."

"It should go smoothly. Now that Zheng Xuezhang has come looking for me, it's not a good idea for me to capture my brother."

Although Li Xiaofan was thin, he was very clever. Moreover, the larger the region he went to, the more difficult it became for local powers to exert their influence.

Now that Zheng Xuezhang is seriously injured and unable to spare any attention, his younger brother is actually safer.

"I specifically reminded Aunt Liu and her husband that they shouldn't have been implicated. Now I have no ties, and I've returned to the mountains..."

"Well, since we're here, we might as well make the best of it."

"It's time to try some tiger meat!"

Li Xian's eyes flickered slightly as he carried the tiger into the courtyard and patted its rump. This tiger was indeed a pure yang beast; even after being dead for some time, it was still as warm as a stove.

"Previously, I helped the lady hunt animals."

"Now that the mountains are high and the rivers are far, this tiger beast belongs to me."

The feelings involved were completely different.

It's a pity it's already late and there's nowhere to get water, otherwise we could have had a tiger soup today.

Li Xian cut open the tiger's neck and drained its blood. This blood was not wasted; instead, it was collected in a jar.

Tiger blood is considered fiery and potent; drinking it raw is actually harmful and can cause irritability. However, after being stewed over a high heat, it becomes a valuable tonic.

"If I could eat tigers and beasts every day, my muscles and bones would probably be much stronger than others!"

After draining the blood, the next step is to peel off the tiger skin and pull out the tiger teeth. The tiger skin is relatively easy to pull out, but the tiger teeth are difficult, as there is nowhere to apply force and they are as hard as stone.

The enormous tiger carcass was quickly dissected into different grades.

The tiger's lungs, spleen, and stomach are still emitting heat.

"I've heard that these five internal organs can also be used to refine Tiger Red Pill."

“But I don’t know any magic methods, and these things are poisonous. I’d better throw them in the snow and freeze them.”

Li Xian lit a fire.

The boiler was scalding hot. Li Xian sliced ​​the tiger meat into pieces and threw them into the boiler. With a sizzling sound, the hot steam rose, and the tiger meat was quickly cooked.

Eating it while it's hot can mask the fishy and foul smell of tiger meat.

...

Li Xian has a very good appetite.

He doesn't get hungry when he has limited resources and eats little. But if he can eat to his heart's content, he can eat so much that others are astonished.

It is thanks to the mysteries of [consuming food].

Warm currents flowed from the abdomen to the bones of the limbs.

Tiger meat is highly nutritious!

[Skill: Ingestion]

[Proficiency: 197/1000 Mastery]

[Description: Heaven is the seasoning, earth is the food; having tasted the sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy flavors, and savored the flavors of life, the greater one's capacity, the greater one's achievements. Today one may feast on a tiger lying in wait, tomorrow one may taste the dragon's delight. Everything one consumes will have its effects increased by more than 30%.]

They ate and drank to their hearts' content.

Li Xian was radiating heat, his eyes were bright, and his body was like a furnace. Feeling unbearably hot, he went out of the kitchen and blew some cool air.

The ice and snow melted rapidly where he stood.

The abundance of Yang energy is visible to the naked eye.

Tigers are creatures of pure Yang energy, but few can digest this Yang energy. Once consumed, it dissipates, like water trapped in a leaky gourd.

With the aid of "food," Li Xian naturally ate until his body was overflowing with yang energy.

But this is also a characteristic of a clay figure that cannot retain its advantages.

If Li Xianru could achieve "blood preservation and orifice closure," he could cultivate some powerful martial arts techniques within his body, where yang energy resides...

It will be more efficient and effective.

After resting for a while, Li Xian sliced ​​the tiger meat and continued eating the dry-roasted tiger meat!

The internal energy becomes increasingly abundant.
