On the long dining table, a half-meter-long wing rests on the surface. The original wingspan of the Grey-faced Vulture was at least three or four meters, but after being processed by Leng Yue, the 'super chef,' it has become the concentrated chicken wing it is today.
"Sister Yanlan, what is this? It smells so good!" Xiaoxin leaned on the table and sniffed it hard, then frowned and hesitated, saying, "But the color isn't very pretty!"
Other people's chicken wings are golden and tender, but the wings in front of me are hard and have a hint of char.
"This aura... the wings of a ninth-tier spirit beast?" Li Tiegen could no longer maintain his composure. He had thought that Jiang Yuan was making roasted monster meat, but he did not expect it to be such a powerful ninth-tier spirit beast.
"Grandpa, what do you mean by spirit beast? Is it delicious?" Xiao Xin was just a naive child. The strongest one she had ever seen was the fourth-tier dog that she and Xiao Bu killed together. Those were all called monsters. As for spirit beasts, she had never actually seen one.
"Spirit beasts are beasts that have developed intelligence. For example, those very intelligent monsters can be called spirit beasts, as can those non-human-shaped creatures that fall from the sky!" Li Tiegen patiently explained to Xiao Xin.
"Is it delicious?" Xiao Xin looked longingly at the wings on the table.
"Whether this stuff tastes good or not is secondary; it's definitely highly nutritious!" Li Tiegen said thoughtfully, and continued, "Monsters become stronger not only through cultivation, but also by devouring each other! Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp; this is an immutable law of nature! And we, living in nature, also follow this law."
"Come on, let's taste it first and see how good the beautiful Leng's cooking is!" After saying that, Jiang Yuan took out some Blazing Blood Vermilion Fruits, divided them up, and said, "This kind of fruit can enhance physical potential, and people of all cultivation levels can eat it!"
Li Tiegen picked up the fruit and examined it for a while, then asked uncertainly, "Blazing Blood Vermilion Fruit?"
"Uncle Li has a good eye!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
"Tsk tsk, this Frostbite item sells for 500 Tier 1 Holy Spirit Stones in the South City Trading Area!" Li Tiegen exclaimed in amazement.
"Is that so?" Jiang Yuan hadn't estimated the value of the Blazing Blood Vermilion Fruit either. When something is readily available, you don't care about it much, and the same principle applies.
"You young people should eat it yourselves. This old man won't waste it!"
Li Tiegen pushed the Crimson Blood Fruit back, his meaning clear: he couldn't accept something so precious.
"Uncle Li, this thing is a commodity elsewhere, but it's food on the dining table! I hope you return it to me because it doesn't taste good, not because it's expensive!" Jiang Yuan smiled. The Fiery Blood Vermilion Fruit will only increase in the later stages, and his one acre of spiritual field can plant at least ten spiritual plants. If it's not enough, he can plant a few more.
Ning Yanlan chimed in, "Uncle Li, please don't stand on ceremony with us. There's definitely enough fruit for us!"
Li Tiegen gave a wry smile and said, "Well then, our national custom emphasizes reciprocity, so I'll give you a gift too!"
He touched his storage ring, and in the blink of an eye, something appeared in his hand.
"This is something I got on the first night of the catastrophe. It's not very useful, but it's very beautiful, so I'll give it to you two as a souvenir!" Li Tiegen handed over a deep blue stone the size of a longan. The stone was cone-shaped, like the most perfectly cut diamond in the world, with thousands of facets refracting blue light.
Jiang Yuan was immediately drawn to the deep blue stone. From the countless light screens, he seemed to see the rise and fall of a world he had never seen before, but the scene was fleeting and could not be captured again after he came to his senses.
"Identified by the Heavenly Eye!"
Jiang Yuan immediately appraised this diamond, the most beautiful he had ever seen. Although the diamond did not exude any spiritual power, his intuition told him that it was definitely extraordinary and most likely something that had fallen from the Golden Gate.
“Mineral remnants: the last crystals left after the minerals take root.”
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment because he had never heard of such a thing as mineral remnant. Even the explanation given by the Heavenly Eye did not make him understand what it meant to be the last crystal left after the mineral source took root.
"Thank you, Uncle Li!" Ning Yanlan gladly accepted the gift. She glanced at Jiang Yuan and said disdainfully, "You have no idea how stingy Jiang Yuan is. He gave me a storage ring before that didn't even have a diamond. Now, with this pigeon egg, I won't have to worry about a diamond ring when I get married!"
“You didn’t say you wanted diamonds!” Jiang Yuan immediately retorted, muttering under his breath, “Besides, this storage ring is worth far more than thousands upon thousands of diamonds!”
"I'm glad you like it. This old man doesn't have any treasures to collect, so this is just to express my feelings!" Li Tiegen said apologetically.
Seeing Ning Yanlan clutching the diamond to her heart, Jiang Yuan had no intention of taking it to examine it further. After all, it was rare for her to be so happy, and he couldn't bear to disturb her.
"Hey beautiful lady, you're strong enough to help me cut this!" Jiang Yuan wanted to do it himself, but he was too weak to even lift a chicken. Ning Yanlan was a spirit energy type, and although her strength had been amplified by the beef balls and the fiery blood fruit, the gray-faced vulture was a ninth-tier spirit beast, and its foundation was still there. Without some strength, he really couldn't handle it.
Leng Yue glared at him hatefully, then picked up the knife and began to cut off the gray-faced vulture's wings.
After everyone had their share, the group began to eat.
"Not bad, I thought I'd taste the burnt flavor!" Jiang Yuan said, chewing slowly.
"This meat is so strange. Why do I feel a warm current flowing through my body after eating it?" Li Xiang stopped after taking only one bite because her face was flushed. If she wanted to eat more, she might not be able to withstand the warm current flowing through her body.
