Xiao Yu had personally verified one thing: never do that with someone you love after they've expressed their love, especially with cultivators like them.
If he hadn't been completely helpless midway, throwing the four treasures out and refusing to return them to the space, forcing someone to quickly get dressed and get out of bed, this dual cultivation journey would probably have to wait until the ship was attacked by a sea beast before it could stop.
Zhou Yanzhi sat leaning back on a bamboo chair beneath a peach tree, his expression intently flipping through a thick animal-skin scroll resting on his knees. His brow furrowed, his mind wandered, and his mind dawned on him. Without reading the contents, no one would have guessed that this aloof, elegant, and dignified man was actually studying a classic on dual cultivation, commonly known as a pornographic book.
The sea breeze blew down peach blossoms, covering half of the terrace.
Ancient trees, peach blossoms, nine-colored lotuses, magical herbs and flowers... the scene should clearly be full of natural beauty, poetic and picturesque, elegant and graceful. Why, from afar, does it all seem so contrived and mundane?
Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze from the fifth floor of the building ship, lowered his head and continued to work on a deck that he had rented for ten level three pills.

He quickly gutted more than a dozen yellow croakers weighing several hundred kilograms, took out the fish maw, liver, discarded the internal organs, and then quickly and carefully tempered them.
A puppet in the Lingyuan realm took the tempered big fish, peeled off the skin, and together with the other two puppets, cut it into two or three pounds of meat strips with fancy cuts, and then threw it into a large basin with seasonings already placed on the side to marinate.
Soon, all the fish were processed and marinated.
The marinated fish is coated with cornstarch and egg liquid, and thrown into a large square pot by the puppet man. It is fried once and twice. When it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it is served and sprinkled with dry powder.
The impact of the fragrance at that moment almost exploded the sense of smell of the monks doing small businesses on the deck.
Unfortunately, no matter how delicious or fragrant those things were, no one dared to approach because of the ferocious dragons and Kun fish.
Fortunately, the crispy fish was quickly collected, which made the monks' suffering less severe.
☆
Xiao Yu and the Five Elements Elves hung the processed fish maw on the rack to dry. The pieces of fish maw were as big as pieces of light golden clothes hanging out to dry.
As the sea breeze blew, the fishy smell on the fish maw gradually faded, and after an hour, it began to emit a faint fragrance.
A cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Origin Realm, who was selling magical instruments at a stall, stared at the fish maw and swallowed his saliva. He felt that after passing through the hands of the Spiritual Chef and the Five Elements Elf, even if it was raw, it would definitely be delicious.
"Splash—" Suddenly, several golden fish appeared on the deck. They looked quite... similar to the 'yellow croaker' from before? Well, the sea beasts of the Savage Continent couldn't possibly be exactly like the real yellow croaker.
Apart from the color and general appearance, they are similar in that they are "fish".
After that day, Xiao Yu, in order to avoid Mr. Zhou's pornographic book class, suddenly had the idea to try an alternate-world version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. So, he drew various ingredients and, along with the foodie Ao Kun, went fishing in the sea.
In order to avoid waste, Zhou Yanzhi gave three puppets to help him and he also dealt with all the extra sea beasts that were salvaged.
For people in the Savage Continent, most of their food is dried meat and dried fish.
But Xiao Yu felt that he was not a cat.
☆
So, just two days later, even aloof Jin Peng, after seeing Ao Kun's diverse food habits, couldn't help but transform into a big fish and follow him into the sea.
"How about this? I think fish maw made from this fish maw will definitely taste better." Ao Kun slurped his saliva. His mind was already replaying the seafood stew that the contractor had made for him after work in the past few nights.
He couldn't imagine how delicious the contractor's legendary spiritual meal was, but just the spiritual meal in the past few nights had loosened his cultivation that had been stagnant for many years.
Especially the so-called fish maw, every bite was the best. If he wasn't afraid of disturbing the high-level sea beasts on the seabed, he would have wanted to catch all the sea beasts with swim bladders in the Boundless Sea.
"Slurp!" Ao Kun couldn't help swallowing. "Besides this, we also found several similar ones to the ones we found before. Oh, and there are also many spiritual herbs for the Beast Spirit Pills you mentioned. Take a look."
Ao Kun threw out a space ring. Xiao Yu scanned it with his spiritual sense and found that it was full of sea beasts such as abalone, scallops, sea cucumbers, clams, lobsters, etc. In addition, there were many seabed spiritual minerals, spiritual herbs, etc.
"Almost done. We'll start making that spiritual meal tomorrow."
"Starting tomorrow?" Jin Peng was clearly still a bit unsatisfied. These past few days, his understanding of human cuisine had been constantly being overturned. He felt that the quality of that legendary divine meal, so legendary that even saints disregarded their image to try it, wasn't important. What mattered was that he could have it every day.
Unexpectedly, such a good thing ended after only five days.
If he had known this earlier, he would have asked Ao Kun to search for ingredients more slowly!
Xiao Yu looked at Jin Peng dejectedly and said with a smile: "Let's try it once. I'm planning to refine a delicacy that is between spiritual food and elixir. I don't know if it will succeed."
Ao Kun's eyes lit up as he said, "Believe in yourself, you will definitely succeed." If he could really refine such a delicacy, he felt that his cultivation might really be able to move up a level.
☆
Because I have a busy schedule tomorrow, I simply made a large double-boiled hot pot for dinner, accompanied by a seafood buffet. Others wouldn't dare eat this way, as they might be unlucky enough to encounter a poisonous sea beast and risk their lives.
However, all the seafood in the buffet provided by Xiao Yu has been processed.
