Food cooked in a large pot isn't actually very tasty.

But the deliciousness of the Giant Spirit Rice was irresistible; even when simply cooked, it was incredibly fragrant. Moreover, given Lin Che's understanding of medicinal herbs, adding just a little bit of herbal ingredients made it even more fragrant.

As soon as the pot lid was opened, a rich aroma wafted out.

"Is this the legendary Giant Spirit Rice? It smells so good!" Ao Xiao, a divine dragon, looked at the pot of rice with shining eyes.

"Want to try some? Alas, it's a pity there's only rice, no meat. If only there were dragon meat." Lin Che said, his eyes still fixed on Ao Xiao, who was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back, his face full of vigilance and fear.

"Look at you. I was just kidding. Sit down!"

Knowing that Da Zhouzi and Ao Xiao were both big guys, Lin Che simply took out two bowls to fill with rice for them.

"Here you go, Wang Teng, this is yours."

Big Pork Knuckle looked at the huge bowl of rice, paused for a moment, then quickly pushed it back: "Boss, you eat first. I can do it myself!"

"Take it!"

Big Pork Knuckle took the large bowl. He smelled the aroma and felt his blood boiling. He was thinking of giving the large bowl of rice to Ao Xiao when he saw Lin Che serve Ao Xiao another large bowl.

Ao Xiao did not refuse. He knew that this was Giant Spirit Divine Rice. He opened his blood-red mouth and poured the whole bowl of rice into his mouth.

He barely chewed it before swallowing it whole, and his body immediately emitted bursts of five-colored light.

Seeing this, Big Pork Knuckle also started eating.

With each mouthful of rice, he felt his entire body absorbing it frantically, his blood boiling, and all the grime on his body being expelled.

After finishing the bowl, he felt even hungrier.

Lin Che smiled and said, "There's still a lot more. Eat up!"

"Great, boss, you're so kind. This rice is so delicious, I've never eaten anything so good before." Big Pork Knuckle wasn't holding back anymore, and he ate a second and then a third bowl.

Lin Che took one look and realized that fifty catties of rice was far from enough.

Alright! Since we've already cooked it all, let's cook some more. He simply took out a full two hundred catties of Giant Spirit Rice and continued cooking.

Eating this rice now has little effect on Lin Che, because his body has been tempered time and time again, especially under the beating of the Human Emperor's heart, each beating is a tempering of his body.

But Big Pork Knuckle is different. Now his whole body is like a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. After eating the first pot of rice, his body changed.

His cultivation level had begun to surge, and he broke through directly.

In particular, the special abilities of the Kuafu tribe within Da Zhouzi's body have been gradually uncovered.

Lin Che was secretly astonished. Talent really is something you're born with. Right now, Big Elbow's full-force punch would probably have the power of an eighth-grade cultivator. But Big Elbow's cultivation is only at the fifth grade. That's a huge leap in level, and his recovery ability is so strong too.

"Wang Teng, you smell terrible. Go wash up by the river. The second pot of rice will be almost cooked when you come back."

"Okay, boss." Big Elbow also felt that he smelled terrible, so he ran towards the small river at the foot of the mountain.

Ao Xiao looked at the big elbow running down the mountain and asked curiously, "He does have a special physique, but his cultivation is too poor. Why are you so good to him? Why are you training him like this? What's in it for you?"

Lin Che looked at the large pot in front of him: "If I said I wasn't after anything, would you believe me?"

There must be a reason, right?

"There is a reason. In fact, he was still alive in the future, more than two thousand years later. It's just that he had become a fool by then, and he only recognized me, or rather, he only believed me."

Ao Xiao asked in confusion, "More than two thousand years later? Could it be that he also possesses the power of cause and effect?"

"No. He must have lived for over two thousand years. When people from later generations discovered him, they found him inside an iceberg. I have a strange sense of closeness to him, and now that I've met him, I want to try to change his fate. Maybe, when I go back over two thousand years, he won't be an idiot anymore. Haha!" Lin Che laughed and looked down at the foot of the mountain, where he saw Big Elbow diligently wiping his body.

Ao Xiao looked up at the darkening sky and said slowly, "Cause and effect, cause and effect. What you think is the cause is actually the effect. You think you can change the effect, but you yourself are also within cause and effect."

Lin Che fell into deep thought. After a while, he gently shook his head: "Never mind. Don't worry about the harvest, just focus on the effort!"

Before long, Da Zhouzi had washed up and returned, and started eating again.

Big Pork Knuckle's belly was like a bottomless pit; he had eaten almost all two hundred pounds of Giant Spirit Rice by himself. Then, Lin Che instructed him to continue his cultivation.

The next morning, the three of them continued their journey.

To put some pressure on Big Elbow, Lin Che even had Big Elbow carry him while he used his "Thousand-Pound Drop" technique to apply even more pressure. Now, Big Elbow leaves footprints with every step he takes.

After walking for ten days, the relics on Da Zhouzi's body became even brighter.

At night, even just holding it in your hand, you can almost use the relics for lighting.

Ao Xiao exclaimed with delight, "It really worked! Mount Ling should be opening soon. It could be as short as a month or as short as three to five days."

Lin Che instructed, "Wang Teng, if the gates of Ling Mountain open, don't go in. Just let Ao Xiao and me go in, okay?"

Big Elbow clenched his fist: "I understand, boss. I will definitely cultivate hard so that I can help you."

After Da Zhouzi finished speaking, his expression became somewhat downcast. From birth until now, Lin Che had been the kindest to him. He had nothing, yet Lin Che taught him cultivation, gave him medicinal baths, imparted his skills to him, and provided him with all sorts of rare and precious herbs.

But there's danger involved, and they still won't let him go.

If only his cultivation level were as high as the boss's, he could definitely help the boss.

Seeing his dejected expression, Lin Che bluntly said, "The Giant Spirit Rice you ate wasn't given to you for free. It contains the Giant Spirit God's Dao fortune, and you must carefully sense it. Only when the Giant Spirit God's bloodline combines with your Kuafu bloodline will you be a true powerhouse. Don't be lazy."

"Okay, boss. I'll definitely take it all in!"

For the next ten days or so, apart from stopping to eat a meal of Giant Spirit Rice, we walked westward step by step.

They stepped into a high-altitude snow-capped mountain range, about to cross the endless snow-capped mountains.

Sudden.

Those relics flew up and soared into the air.

Ao Xiao was overjoyed: "It's here! Mount Ling is about to open its gates!"

Lin Che also suddenly stepped off the back of the giant elbow and looked into the void: "Buddha! I, Lin Che, have come to find you!"
