Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi's actions this time shocked all the demon cultivators present.
In the past, whenever the sea monster tide came, Jiang Xia and his group of demon cultivators would travel around in search of treasures.
This is the first time they've encountered Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi dealing with the beast tide.
Besides admiration, they were also shocked.
They had experienced many beast tides and naturally understood how terrifying Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi's actions were.
After the beast tide subsided, Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi skillfully packed the powdered flesh and bones of the anglerfish into storage bags.
Once back in the Star Hub Immortal Fox Territory, this powder will turn into high-grade feed, which can be used to raise fifth or sixth-tier spirit beasts.
After filling the pot with fish bone powder, Song Chen summoned some steam and used it to wash the pot.
He looked down and laughed:
"Is all the seafood prepared? Let's just stir-fry it then."
Song Chen threw down the large pot, and the demon cultivators came to their senses and put the prepared ingredients they were holding into the pot.
"Boss Song, what kind of seafood feast are you making this time? The Typhoon Shelter Squid and Octopus you made last time was delicious!"
"Steaming is also delicious; the smoky flavor is even more pronounced!"
"Shut up, Mr. Song decides on the flavor! You've had a few seafood feasts, do you really think you know all the flavors? Maybe today's dish is new, I'm looking forward to it!"
Flattery will get you everywhere.
Song Chen smiled and said:
"Today I'll make what you want to eat: Typhoon Shelter style and steamed style. I'll also add a dish I've never made before: Garlic Seafood Stew."
After the meal, Ziyi and I left and won't be back for a while.
Let this meal be a final memento.
"From now on, if you want to eat, you can buy boxed lunches from Ancestor Wuzhiqi, or you can buy milk tea in the territory of the Red-Bottomed Monkeys."
Jiang Xia was stunned upon hearing this. He opened his mouth, somewhat surprised, and said:
"Didn't we agree to train in the deep sea canyon for a year?"
Why are you leaving so soon? It feels like only eleven months have passed, there's still one month left!
Zhao Ziyi walked over, took out several hundred catties of garlic, and handed it to the demon cultivators present.
"Come on, everyone, let's peel the garlic together. We'll need it for cooking later."
Song Chen and I have made significant progress in the past few months, and there is no room for improvement in our physical fitness.
Now, the two of us can stand at the mouth of the canyon and stay there for a whole day.
Staying any longer won't be of much use.
Moreover, when Ancestor Wuzhiqi and Ancestor Qingluan came two months ago, they said they would take us through the underwater hunting ban zone to a certain place during the last month.
Jiang Xia used a magic hand gesture, peeling each garlic clove cleanly. He asked curiously:
"An underwater no-hunting zone? Did our ancestor insist on taking you there?"
Zhao Ziyi nodded:
"Yes, the Ancestor didn't explain many things or details. But the Ancestor said it was a good thing, as it would allow Song Chen and me to improve our cultivation levels further."
After several months of training, Zhao Ziyi has now advanced to the eighth level of the Golden Core stage.
Song Chen also advanced to the sixth level of the Golden Core stage. His rapid advancement was largely thanks to those spiritual flames.
Spiritual fire can aid in cultivation.
When consuming pills and absorbing the spiritual energy within spirit stones, the absorption rate of spiritual energy can be accelerated.
Song Chen advanced to the sixth level of the Golden Core stage. He consumed a lot of spiritual energy from his eight spiritual roots. In addition to the spiritual energy dissipating from the seawater, he also absorbed the spiritual energy of at least three million spirit stones, making him a veritable spirit stone crushing machine.
Upon hearing that Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi wanted to improve their cultivation, Jiang Xia couldn't bring himself to ask them to stay a little longer.
Cultivators should cherish their time, advance quickly, and leave themselves room for maneuver.
Otherwise, it will be too late to start cultivating when one's lifespan is almost over.
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi are so young, yet they possess great abilities.
If one does not improve one's cultivation level as soon as possible, one is likely to lose one's life in dangerous situations.
Having thought all this through, Jiang Xia gave the following instructions:
"When you cross the underwater hunting reserve, you must stay close to Ancestor Wuzhiqi."
Although Ancestor Wuzhiqi is a bit simple-minded, he has no bad intentions, and we can still entrust our safety to him.
Zhao Ziyi nodded:
"Don't worry, Song Chen and I were able to open Spicy Palace because of more than just luck."
Okay, the garlic is peeled. I'll go get it for Song Chen.
Zhao Ziyi took the peeled garlic and put it into a large pot.
This pot was the one Song Chen discarded and no longer used; now it's been turned into a large basin for seasonings.
The spiritual energy of the earth elemental root surged into his fist.
Zhao Ziyi punched the pot, and the garlic cloves turned into minced garlic, lying quietly in the pot, emitting a pungent aroma.
Zhao Ziyi passed the pot to Song Chen.
Song Chen took the spatula and poured three ladles of hot oil over the minced garlic.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
The sound of oil exploding echoed from the seabed.
The aroma of garlic instantly filled everyone's nostrils.
The garlic smells so good!
Jiang Xia originally wanted to praise Boss Zhao for his steadfast character and masterful demeanor.
Now, when he smells this scent, he forgets everything.
Jiang Xia smacked his lips and sighed:
"This tastes so good, I'm afraid I'll never forget this meal!"
Song Chen cooks extremely fast.
Steamed, stir-fried in a typhoon shelter style, and garlic-flavored seafood stew—three different flavors of seafood stew were all ready to serve after half an hour.
The white-haired demon cultivators, holding bowls inscribed with formations, gathered around the pot, serving themselves rice.
"Haha! I always manage to catch you guys having dinner, what a coincidence!"
The voice arrived before the person.
The ancestor Wuzhiqi split the sea and broke the waves, dragging his enormous figure as he swiftly swam down from the sea surface.
The moment the ancestor's voice appeared, Jiang Xia and the other demon cultivators were momentarily thrown into a panic.
They then served the rice even faster.
Every time the ancestor came, there wasn't enough food for them.
While the ancestor is still speaking, the best course of action is to quickly fill the rice bowl!
The enormous figure of Wuzhiqi landed on the steel platform, nodded to Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi, and then headed straight for the cauldron.
"Leave some for me! I'm your ancestor! Tsk! Next time I sell you boxed lunches, I'll raise the price!"
After a while, Wuzhiqi, who had transformed into human form, happily carried a bowl of food and sat down next to Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi.
"My two young friends, it's been a long time. It seems that your physique and cultivation have improved quite a bit."
Zhao Ziyi smiled and nodded:
"The training ground for the Red-bottomed Macaque clan is indeed effective."
Wuzhiqi smiled and nodded:
"Of course, what do you think about what I told you?"
"The reason I've come here is to lead you through the underwater hunting reserve and into the heart of the True Treasure Continent."
During their last gathering, Ancestor Wuzhiqi and Ancestor Qingluan recounted the story of the Demon Clan to Zhao Ziyi and Song Chen.
Demons are always associated with cruelty and evil, so the two of them did not agree at the time.
But after these past few months of conversations with Jiang Xia and others, Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi have come to a clear understanding that the Demon Clan is not what they imagined.
Heaven and earth have yin and yang, one positive and one negative.
Where there is spiritual energy, there is also demonic energy.
The demon race consists of cultivators who cultivate by absorbing demonic energy.
Zhao Ziyi nodded firmly:
“Go, Song Chen and I have already discussed it. If we go to the training grounds of the four great demon clans, we’re sure to gain a lot.”
Moreover, the demon race is now cooperating with the demon clan and also with the Spicy Palace.
We cannot let our partners down.
