29. The Lord of One Peak, Dad 10
The Sleeping Forest is home to countless magical beasts and plants, a myriad of bizarre species. With its abundance of magical treasures comes even greater danger. Ancient cypresses tower over the forest, and vibrant flowers and plants abound. Even in broad daylight, the forest remains utterly silent, an eerie stillness permeating every corner.
The roar of a spirit beast shattered the silence. Cheng Ye stared intently at the peak-level three golden-haired demon bear in front of him. His clothes were torn at his left shoulder, leaving four streaks of dried blood. The spirit beast had been chasing him for a while and seemed determined to keep him. With a flick of his hand, Cheng Ye swapped his ordinary sword for his natal spirit weapon, the Blazing Sky Sword.
The Blazing Sky Sword has a slender, translucent black blade. The hilt is forged from black flame stone forged using Cheng Jiu's secret method. The sword body is extremely thin and looks light, but it is extremely heavy, emitting a fiery sword energy. There are also complex patterns engraved on the sword body. This is definitely not an ordinary immortal sword.
Damn it, I just plundered a hive of Emperor bees it was guarding. Why are you chasing me so desperately? Since you won't give up, don't blame me for being rude. Tonight, I'll have roasted bear paws with Emperor honey.
Cheng Ye held the sword in both hands, infused it with spiritual power, raised it high, stepped firmly on the ground, swung his hand, and the red sword energy whistled out.
The golden-haired demon bear roared, and its large paws, coupled with its demonic power, used to block Cheng Ye's attack. "Sizzle" the scorching sword energy burned its paws, and "Roar" the spirit beast roared in pain.
The smell of roasted bear paws made Cheng Ye swallow his saliva subconsciously and he became more active in eating.
The golden-haired demon bear pounced on him angrily and attacked him madly with its big bear paws. The wind from its palms turned into sharp blades and stabbed Cheng Ye. Cheng Ye almost couldn't dodge every time. He was in great danger and felt very embarrassed.
The two sides fought for a long time and were in a stalemate, and the golden-haired demon bear became even more violent.
Seeing the right moment, Cheng Ye let out a long roar, flew up with the sword in hand, his whole body was as hot as the bright red sword light, and a long ditch was left on the ground with a "boom". At the end of the deep ditch was the dead golden-haired demon bear.
Cheng Ye breathed a sigh of relief, sheathing his sword. He shook his numb arm, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He then took out a thin dagger and began to clean up the golden-haired demon bear's body. He kept the paws, the fangs, and the gallbladder... His father had raised him to be a picky eater, but after wandering in the Mianyou Forest for half a month, his taste had returned. He wasn't as wasteful as he had been two weeks ago.
At this time, Cheng Ye faintly heard the sound of people talking, and they were coming towards this side.
Cheng Ye put the body of the golden-haired demon bear into the Qiankun bag and flew towards the direction of the human voice on his sword.
Cao Rui and Xu Bao
She was mumbling to herself, "You said your master is a tiger. He said he was going to find something to eat, but he never came back. I told you that the meat of the Blazing Beast is delicious, why did you have to be so picky? Now you want me to go out and find it."
Little Mouth: The master doesn't like to eat low-level spirit beast meat, but he's been eating Blazing Beast meat for several days. Don't you get tired of it? Anyway, the master is tired of it.
"...He even forgot to bring the communication card with him. How could he forget about himself?...Why are you showing your teeth? You show your teeth every time I say a few words to you. Be careful or I will eat all your spiritual fruits." When Cao Ruixu talked about this, he felt sorry for himself. His spiritual pets eat high-level spiritual fruits, but he can only eat low-level spiritual fruits. Sometimes he can't even eat low-level spiritual fruits. Cheng Ye is a scumbag who values divine beasts over brothers.
"...Why don't you show me the way?" Cao Ruixu's face showed vicissitudes of life. Why do I have to deal with these two difficult-to-serve masters and pets?
"Are you bullying the little one again? Be careful or it will bite you." As soon as he got closer, he heard Cao Ruixu complaining. Cheng Ye got down from the sword and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Give me back my little mouth." He reached out to take it.
Cao Ruixu: "Here you go, here you go. I won't serve this little ancestor anymore."
Seeing the wound on Cheng Ye's shoulder, he frowned subconsciously, "Are you injured?" As he said that, he was about to take off Cheng Ye's clothes. After seeing the injury clearly, he found that the wound was not serious and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Ye: "It's nothing serious, just a skin injury. Just apply some medicine later." If Cao Ruixu hadn't discovered it, he would have forgotten that he was injured. He didn't pay attention to it after taking the hemostatic medicine just now.
After Cao Ruixu helped him apply the medicine, he found that the master and pet were still being affectionate. Cao Ruixu felt helpless as they had not seen each other for a long time.
"Have you found anything to eat?" This is the key point. He has been looking for a bite to eat for most of the day.
Cheng Ye directly threw the Qiankun bag to Cao Ruixu and said, "Eat roasted bear paws and add more honey." He was not polite in picking the taste, and those who had no labor results were not allowed to have opinions.
Although on the outskirts of the Mianyou Forest, the nights here were just as fraught with danger. Cheng Ye pulled a palm-sized tortoise shell from his Qiankun bag and channeled spiritual energy into it. A faint golden light suddenly emerged from the texture of the shell. The shell slowly rose to a height of approximately nine feet before stopping. The golden light then grew larger and larger, eventually forming a protective shield with a nine-foot radius.
Cao Ruixu had already started a fire. He placed the processed bear paws on the fire and began to roast them.
He glanced at the two main pets who were happily eating the spiritual fruit and said, "Fortunately, my uncle prepared the Ten Thousand Square Turtle Shell for you, otherwise we would have to take turns to guard the night every day." The two of them had no experience.
As a fledgling in experience, I really need the guidance of my elders.
Cheng Ye: "What is Wanfang Turtle Shell? It has a name." Wanfang Turtle is a kind of water spirit beast. Not only does it have great attack power, but its defense is also very good. It is very difficult to catch. Its shell is made into a defensive magic weapon and is very popular among monks. Of course, the price is very expensive.
Cao Ruixu's mouth twitched. Why were his friends' names so bizarre and varied? The mythical beast was called Little Mouth, and the Ten Thousand Squares Turtle Shell was called the Heaven-Swallowing Pot? Hehe, thankfully his uncle-shi had given Cheng Ye a name when he forged his natal spiritual weapon, the Burning Sky Sword. Otherwise, this peerless sword wouldn't have had a name so resounding and thrilling that it would have been a shock.
Cheng Ye had no idea that his friend had already complained about his naming method for the hundred and first time. He was eating spiritual fruits out of boredom and started to find a topic: "What is your reward for being on the list?" Cheng Ye had never even looked at the rewards for this year's sect list. Anyway, he would not be on the list.
Cao Ruixu: "One Shaohua robe, one bottle of Fusui Dan, three level five sword formations... 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and 100,000 low-grade spirit stones." Cao Ruixu revealed a series of good things one by one.
Cheng Ye was surprised. "The ninth place prize is so generous?" Then wouldn't the rewards for the first few places be dazzling? Honestly, he was quite poor. He didn't even have any spirit stones. Before, his senior brothers would buy him whatever he wanted. But now, his father had everything, so he didn't need to buy anything. Just thinking about it made him feel so pitiful.
Cao Ruixu: "The sect ranking list is held every ten years, with twenty people in each group. You know how small this ratio is?" He only understood how much importance the sect attached to the sect ranking list after catching up on previous information. After all, it was the first time for both of them to participate.
Cheng Ye threw the fruit shell into the fire. Sparks flew out of the fire, making a popping sound. He said, "Wouldn't the rewards for the Hundred-Year-Old List be richer?" The Hundred-Year-Old List represents the next generation and hope of the entire cultivation world. The rewards must be very generous.
Cao Ruixu: "There is no comparison. It is at least twenty times the sect list." There are five lists in the Hundred-Year-Old List, and each list has one hundred people. There are at least five million young cultivators participating in the Hundred-Year-Old List. Five hundred people out of five million, this probability...tsk tsk.
Cheng Ye was astonished. "If Senior Brother Chengfeng takes the top spot, he'll definitely be the richest person of our generation." Cheng Ye calculated twenty times what that meant for a long time, and finally came up with this: Great! Rich! Ah!
Cao Ruixu: "That's true."
He looked at Cheng Ye's eyes, which were shining brightly, and shook his head and smiled.
He said, "No matter how rich I am, I'm not as rich as you." Every time he went to Changqing Peak, he could see how Cheng Ye treated the spiritual berries with such disregard, eating one and throwing it away. Did he know how much a pound of spiritual berries cost outside? What a waste! Such a waste!
Cheng Ye looked at him as if he was teasing her again.
Cao Ruixu smiled and said, "Well, it's because my uncle is rich. He swept the five top spots on the two Hundred Years Lists, namely the Cultivation List, the Character Influence List, and the Potential List, not to mention the Sect List. As long as my uncle participates, he will be the top spot in that group." This is why my uncle is so influential, and why Cheng Ye has received so much attention over the years. As my uncle's son, Cheng Ye has endured too much over the years.
Cheng Ye was extremely proud, as he certainly knew his father's great achievements.
Cao Rui and Xu Titang: "What does it feel like to have a super rich dad?"
Cheng Ye said seriously: "It's very complicated. My pockets are empty, but I find that I have everything I need. It's really emotional." After saying that, he couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that the bear paws were almost roasted, Cao Ruixu began to brush honey on them. The golden roasted bear paws covered with a layer of honey looked even more appetizing.
"Dong" Cheng Ye couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said, "When is a good time?" The roasted bear paws, which were already very fragrant, plus the fragrance of honey, made him very greedy.
Cao Ruixu: "Right away. I haven't asked you yet. You are so lucky to encounter the golden-haired demon bear and the emperor bee hive at the same time." This is really good luck.
Cheng Ye reluctantly took his eyes off the bear's paw and said, "I originally encountered an emperor bee hive first. When I finally killed a bunch of emperor bees, this stupid bear came back. Then I found out that the emperor bees were the food that this stupid bear was guarding. Dong, I didn't want to fight with it, but who knew that this guy chased me for a long time, and finally I killed it." He originally wanted to get the honey and come back, but who knew that this guy would chase him and wouldn't let him go.
"Here, here you go."
Cheng Ye didn't care about the burnt mouth and took a bite impatiently, "Hmm, hiss, hot, delicious." The chewy bear paw and the sweet taste of the emperor bee instantly captivated Cheng Ye's taste buds. Every bite of the barbecue was full of spiritual energy and he felt extremely satisfied.
"Well, you should eat too. Let me tell you, your cooking skills are getting better and better. You're nothing like the chef who grilled the meat half a month ago and made it burnt on the outside but raw on the inside." Neither of them knew how to cook, and neither of them liked taking fasting pills, so they agreed to take turns. However, no matter how many times Cheng Ye tried, his cooking skills showed no improvement. Cao Ruixu was different. He was very talented in this area and mastered the essence of grilling after just one or two attempts. Cheng Ye even joked with him that if he weren't a cultivator, he could be a great chef in the secular world.
"How does it compare to my uncle-master?" Cheng Ye often boasted about how good his uncle-master was at cooking.
Cheng Ye thought about it seriously and said, "My father has never made barbecue. I wonder how he cooks it? There's no way to compare." Cheng Ye took a big bite of the grilled bear paw full of honey and squinted his eyes happily.
This time when he goes back, he will talk to his father and ask if he can raise a few bears on Changqing Peak.
