Chapter 84: Fog City Mountains "Two Updates"

"There are only four days left until we go online, it's coming soon."

On the back of the rock vulture, everyone continued to sit calmly. Lu Shaoyou also began to refine the true qi energy within his body. Under the refinement of the Yin-Yang Spirit Martial Technique, the energy gradually transformed into true qi and entered the dantian qi sea.

Time passed slowly. On the back of the rock vulture, everyone had long become accustomed to it. A faint luster enveloped Lu Shaoyou's body as he continuously absorbed and refined the true qi.

As the true qi energy being refined gradually decreased, the true qi in Lu Shaoyou's dantian qi sea increased more and more. The speed was far beyond what could be achieved by refining pills.

Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but think to himself that absorbing the other party's true qi was at least twice as effective as absorbing pills. If he could continuously absorb true qi, his cultivation speed would definitely reach a terrifying level. However, this was not easy. If his cultivation method were exposed, it would cause significant trouble.

Another seven days passed. When the last bit of true qi energy was refined, the thick true qi cloud in Lu Shaoyou's dantian qi sea had reached a critical point. Just a little more, and he would reach the Sixth Rank Warrior.

"Surprisingly, I didn't break through to the Sixth Rank Warrior." Lu Shaoyou opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and was greatly surprised. The energy required to break through to the Sixth Rank Warrior was much greater than he had imagined.

Lu Shaoyou wasn't too disappointed. His true qi level had already reached the peak of the Fifth Rank Warrior. As long as he took another Essence Enhancement Pill, breaking through to the Sixth Rank Warrior would be easy.

"Still, I won't break through for now." Lu Shaoyou thought to himself. If he broke through to the Sixth Rank Warrior again, it would be hard to explain to Elder White Eyebrow. Breaking through twice in less than half a month would cause a lot of trouble.

At this moment, Lu Shaoyou was also pondering how he could quickly enhance his spiritual cultivation. Both his martial and spiritual cultivation needed to break through simultaneously. Even if he cultivated his martial level to the Ninth Rank Warrior, his spiritual level was still at the First Rank Spirit Scholar, and he wouldn't be able to break through.

"Everyone, rest a bit more." Elder White Eyebrow opened his eyes, blew a whistle, and the two rock vultures let out a cry, slowly landing in a mountain range.

"There are many wild beasts in this mountain range. Everyone, work hard and find some game. We'll eat and then continue our journey." Elder White Eyebrow said, his gaze falling on Lu Shaoyou with a hint of something unknown.

Everyone then dispersed. Lu Shaoyou found a secluded place and let Xiao Long out to hunt. He also caught a wild rabbit weighing several pounds.

A short while later, everyone had some harvest. Among the four enforcers, the three male enforcers each held several pieces of game, and Yang Miao held two wild chickens.

Lu Shaohu, Wang Liang, Lu Wushuang, and Dugu Binglan also returned with game.

Lu Shaoyou surveyed the various game everyone had caught, and there were quite a few types.

This time, Lu Shaohu and Wang Liang directly imitated Lu Shaoyou's method of roasting wild boar and started roasting. They seemed to have roasted two wild chickens and a wild rabbit, and found many fragrant leaves, learning quite quickly.

Yang Man and Yang Miao, under Wang Liang's encouragement, also started roasting two wild chickens. With Wang Liang's help, the two women didn't have to do it themselves.

Lu Shaoyou smiled slightly but wasn't in a hurry. He asked Qin Tianhao to clean the innards of the game but not to remove the fur. He asked the three enforcers to gather some firewood and then looked around for something.

A short while later, Lu Shaoyou squatted down in a place, grabbed a handful of soil, and sniffed it, revealing a smile. The soil was moist and yellow, exactly what he was looking for.

Lu Shaoyou then dug up a lot of yellow soil and brought it to everyone. This was an essential item. Everyone was surprised to see Lu Shaoyou bring so much soil. Then, Lu Shaoyou picked a lot of fragrant leaves.

"Shaoyou, what do you need so much soil for?" Elder White Eyebrow asked, puzzled.

"Elder, this is yellow clay. You'll see soon." Lu Shaoyou said.

After saying that, Lu Shaoyou, to everyone's surprise, first wrapped the wild chickens and rabbits in fragrant leaves, then covered them with yellow clay, forming clay balls.

Seeing Lu Shaoyou do all this, everyone became even more puzzled.

"Done." Lu Shaoyou then dug several holes in the ground, placed the clay balls in them, and started a fire on top.

"Shaoyou, why is this different from last time?" Lu Wushuang asked.

Lu Shaoyou said, "Last time, the wild boar had a salty taste, so we roasted it directly. But these wild chickens and rabbits don't have a salty taste, and we don't have salt, so we can't roast them that way. The yellow clay I found has a salty taste, which will infuse the game with saltiness."

"Ah, I see." Everyone understood and started to tend the fire. After about ten minutes, Lu Shaoyou flipped the game to ensure the bottom parts were cooked, then continued the fire.

At this moment, in the distance, the game roasted by Wang Liang, Lu Shaohu, Yang Man, and Yang Miao was already emitting a fragrant aroma and turning a golden brown. The four were very excited and started eating the game.

However, their excited expressions quickly turned sour. The game, though fragrant, had no taste at all.

The four were puzzled. They had clearly used the same method as Lu Shaoyou, but the taste was completely different. As young masters and misses who had always been pampered, they naturally didn't understand the subtleties of roasting.

"Alright, everyone, eat." Feeling it was about time, Lu Shaoyou extinguished the fire, then dug out the clay balls. The clay balls were now hard and cracked, emitting a faint fragrance.

"Bang!"

Lu Shaoyou threw the clay balls to the ground, and they shattered, releasing a fragrant aroma. A wild chicken, covered in fragrant leaves and yellow clay, appeared before everyone, its feathers and leaves falling to the ground.

"Smells so good." Everyone imitated Lu Shaoyou, smashing the clay balls on the ground. The wild chickens and rabbits, along with other game, were revealed, filling the air with a fragrant aroma. Everyone's mouths watered, and they started eating without hesitation.

"Didn't expect this method to be so delicious. You really have a knack for this." Elder White Eyebrow, with his mouth watering, said to Lu Shaoyou.

The enforcers also didn't hold back. This time, everyone had put in effort, so they ate without restraint. Even Dugu Binglan, Lu Wushuang, and Cui Yu, who usually cared about their appearance, ate with gusto, oil splattering everywhere.

After a while, everyone's bellies were full, and they couldn't eat any more. In the distance, Wang Liang, Lu Shaohu, Yang Man, and the others, after a few bites of the tasteless game, couldn't continue.

"Humph." Yang Man glared at Wang Liang, her eyes almost spitting fire. If not for his encouragement, she wouldn't be hungry.

After eating, Lu Shaoyou found an opportunity to put Xiao Long back into his sleeve. Xiao Long could always find food for himself when he went out.

"Alright, let's get going. It's been half a month, and in another month, we'll reach Yunyang Sect." Elder White Eyebrow said.

"Elder Bai, ahead is Fog City. Should we rest in the city and prepare to cross the Fog City Mountains?" The female enforcer asked Elder White Eyebrow.
