Chapter 9. Eat to Your Heart's Content

"Thank you for your hospitality, Junior Brother."

 Seeing that he had finished all the rice, Jia Feiyu could only suppress his desire to order more. He placed some spirit coins on the stove, then cupped his hands and smiled at Li Yang.

 "Senior brother, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I still have some minor rules here.

 Since all of you are satisfied with the food, please wash the used bowls and chopsticks."

 Li Yang moved aside and pointed at where the dishes were washed.

 "I would; I would!"

 Jia Feiyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

 If someone else had asked him to wash the dishes, Jia Feiyu would have immediately resisted. Still, now that he was reminiscing about the lingering fragrance between his lips and teeth, Jia Feiyu nodded without hesitation.

 "I didn't say anything, Junior Brother. It's just washing the dishes, right? I'll go now."

 A disciple at the side also hurriedly agreed. He took the bowl and ran over while laughing.

 "Junior Brother, what are you saying? I'm willing to come here to wash the dishes every day!"

 "As long as Junior Brother is responsible for our meals, I'll do the dishes!"

 Another disciple spoke up after Fatty.

 "Senior brotherFatty me wash the dishes for you."

 On the other hand, Fatty had a flattering smile as he moved closer to Jia Feiyu and took the bowl and chopsticks from his hands.

 "Stinky brat, what are you trying to do by trying to curry favor for no reason?"

 Jia Feiyu looked at Fatty's smile, and suddenly Fatty'salert. He quickly snatched the bowl from Fatty's hand and asked.

 "It's Fatty'st's fine. I'm willing to help you wash the dishes. Senior brother, your body is precious; how can you do such rough work?"

 "Of course, if senior brother pities me for being so tired, then senior brother can just give me a bowl of egg-fried rice tonight."

 As Fatty spoke, he reached out to tFattyhe bowl and chopsticks from Jia Feiyu's hands.

 "You wish! Get lost!"

 "I don't want your bowl. It's all thanks to me, your senior brother, for taking care of you!"

 Jia Feiyu said Viciously.

 The crowd laughed for a while and washed the bowls and chopsticks in their hands so clean that their faces could be reflected.

 "Junior Brother, we must still return to the mountain to submit our mission. We'll come back again at dinnertime! You must prepare more ingredients tonight. We won't leave until we're full!"

 After putting the bowl and chopsticks back in place, Jia Feiyu left the wooden house with a few people. Then, Jia Feiyu cupped his hands and smiled at Li Yang.

 "Good."

 Li Yang nodded his head.

 Looking at the back view of the crowd gradually getting further away, Li Yang heard the system's notification sound in his ear.

 [ Congratulations, the golden egg fried rice has been tasted by five people. Vitality +10, root bone +10 ]

 Li Yang closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body. The system panel appeared in front of him again.

 [ Root bone ]: Adulterated spirit root (innate condition, linked to cultivation speed and comprehension ability, can not be improved under normal circumstances, only slightly improved)

 [Vitality]: One Tiger (can be improved through training and is linked to strength)

"Hmm, have you broken through your vitality? "

 Li Yang muttered to himself as he looked at the notification on the interface.

 The so-called Tiger's strength referred to the strength that a cultivator's every move could produce. It was enough to compare to a Tiger's.

 Even if ordinary cultivators had spiritual energy to temper their bodies, most were at level 2 Qi cultivation realm. Only then could they use a lot of spiritual energy to harden their bones and successfully possess the strength of a Tiger.

 Li Yang was still at level 1 Qi cultivation realm, but his qi and blood had already exceeded his realm.

 He casually clenched his fist.

 Li Yang could already feel the enormous power transmitted from his fingers and palms.

 As he waved his fist, a sharp wind-breaking sound immediately rang out. Li Yang moved like lightning, and his entire body seemed to have turned into a vicious weapon, freely releasing the terrifying power of his body.

 "Not bad,"

 After stretching his arms and legs and nodding in satisfaction, Li Yang returned to his room, sat cross-legged on his bed, and began cultivating.

 After completing one cycle, Li Yang stopped cultivating. In the past, Li Yang would need about five hundred breaths to complete one cycle.

 However, Li Yang completed a Qi circulation in just over 400 breaths today.

 Moreover, the amount of condensed spiritual energy was also a little more than usual.

 My root bone has also improved a lot. However, compared to vitality, my previous aptitude was too poor. Perhaps it's because life is more difficult to improve than root bone, so the improvement isn't noticeable. "

 He was secretly calculating his gains this time.

 Li Yang was still delighted.

 Previously, his aptitude could be at a level that he could not cultivate. Now, every increase in his aptitude was like adding flowers to a brocade.

 More importantly, his qi and blood exceeded the combat strength of his realm.

 That was a treatment that only true cultivation geniuses would receive. As long as this continued, Li Yang would become a true genius one day.

 The combat strength that he possessed would also reach a level that was unimaginable to others!

 "Very good; keep up the good work!"

 ...

 On the other side, at the foot of the outer sect's seventy-two peaks.

 "Junior brothers,"

 After the group reached the foot of the mountain, they looked at the distant Northern Crimson Peak. Jia Feiyu suddenly spoke.

 "What's wrong, senior brother?"

 Fatty was a little confused.

 "Just now, all of you saw that he was the only one there. He would still be alone even if you grew a few more arms."

 "It's also impossible to cook enough egg-fried rice."

 "We already have five people here. With our appetites, Junior Brother Li Yang should be able to handle it."

 "If we have one or two more, then some of us might be able to eat less."

"Just like when Gao Quan arrived, we almost didn't get to eat the last bowl of egg-fried rice.

 Jia Feiyu looked around to make sure no one else was around before he spoke in a low voice.

 "That's reasonable."

 The fat man immediately nodded. The egg-fried rice was so delicious. It would be a great sin if he ate less.

 It would be tough to get a bite, let alone be full at that time!

 "Don't worry; I'll keep my mouth shutFattyhinking of this, Fatty agreed without hesitation.

 "Me too,"

 "Don't worry, senior brother. You know I'm the best at keeping my mouth shut!"

 "Senior brother, you know me. I never say much to others."

 The other three also chimed in.

"Alright, since that's the case, everyone will keep the good news. When we go back and hand in our mission, we'll cultivate. Don't let others see any flaws.

 "I'll go find you guys tonight. Let's gather and go down the mountain. We'll go to Junior brother's place and have a good meal!"

 "Alright!"

 Seeing that everyone had agreed, Jia Feiyu nodded in satisfaction.
