Chapter 548: Chapter 340: Cloud Wing Bird! Four Saint Soup! Exploring the Forbidden Land!_2

"The ingredients for the Four Saint Soup are rare, particularly the last one, which is the Spirit Beetle, a specialty of Feng City. It mostly survives in the rice fields and goes deep underground come winter, only to surface after the spring."

"They also used nine snakes, nine chickens, nine turtles, and these nine spirit beetles to make the Four Saint Soup, which was simmered with various medicinal herbs for three hours, and in the end, only a small serving remained."

"Not a single grain of salt needed to be added, and it would still be a delicacy of the human world."

As his voice trailed off, he pointed to the stew pot in front of Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing had been the adoptive daughter of the City Captain of Coastal City since her youth. Born into a distinguished family, she had tasted too many exotic delicacies to take much interest in this so-called Four Saint Soup.

After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Jing asked in a low voice, "After executing the Saint Master, will you destroy Coastal City? How come I’ve heard that the Sect Hierarch is more inclined to destroy High Willow City? There were even rumors before that the Sect Hierarch was preparing to lay waste to Feng City..."

"Which city will be targeted specifically has not yet been decided,"

The Third Elder waved his hand and said, "The urgent matter at hand is to kill the Saint Master, which is even more important than destroying a city."

Qiao Jing wanted to say more but ultimately remained silent.

She was aware of her status; even as powerful as she was, it would be difficult for her to become part of the inner circle of the Tribulation Ash.

That’s because most of the upper echelons of the Tribulation Ash had been entrusted with the thoughts of the Old Gods, received the "Divine Blessing," and won the recognition of the ancient divine spirits.

She, on the other hand, simply detested her adoptive father and, by extension, despised the entire Human Clan, longing to destroy Coastal City.

There were many within Tribulation Ash who were like her.

But very few like her could become core members of Tribulation Ash.

It was probably due to the "Zhao Ye people" that the higher-ups, like those similar to her, could not be fully trusted.

"Finish your meal early; you should set off before nightfall,"

The Third Elder said coldly, "I will not keep you any longer."

Behind Tribulation Ash were the gods of ancient times.

The struggle between Tribulation Ash and the Human Clan essentially represents the confrontation between "Gods and Humans"!

The true Tribulation Ash is bestowed with divine favor and serves as apostles of the divine spirits.

While someone like Qiao Jing remains but a lowly and contemptible member of the Human Clan.

In Lord Qingling’s presence, she distinguished herself, yet she couldn’t grasp her own status and had the audacity to pry into secrets.

At that moment, the Third Elder already harbored a sense of revulsion towards her.

Had it not been for this despicable person luckily obtaining the protective talisman, how could the important task of meeting Lord Qingling have been entrusted to her?

"Something’s not right about this Cloud Wing Bird,"

Lin Yan took a sip of the soup, frowning tight.

It was indeed exceedingly delicious, a rare treat in this world.

But as soon as he tasted it, he vaguely sensed an extremely odd qi mechanism.

Ordinary people wouldn’t detect anything unusual, but Lin Yan distinctly felt it contained an intensely masculine energy, like strong liquor burning down the throat.

If that were all, it would be fine.

But within this masculine energy, there also lurked an extremely subtle and difficult-to-detect chill!

To be precise, not just a chill, but an intention of death.

It felt as cold and silent as if in the Netherworld!

"Any Martial Artist whose cultivation has reached the Inner Strength realm should be able to sense this aggressively masculine energy,"

Lin Yan thought to himself, "But this hidden intention of cold and death, even those in the Qi Refining Realm may not perceive it... If it weren’t for me having achieved the Netherworld Inner View Divine Domain, it would be very difficult to discern it so clearly."

He had initially suspected that maybe the Cloud Wing Bird was so pure because it lived within the Inner Realm Divine Domain of the Xuanwu Descendants.

Just like Cultivators who lived in the Holy Land were not disturbed by deceitful nights and whose True Qi was comparatively pure.

But now it didn’t seem to be the case.

In the past, Lin Yan had only heard about the Cloud Wing Bird, said to be the descendant of an ancient divine bird, a fierce deity.

But which god it pertained to, or what kind of bird it was, no one could make clear.

Perhaps the library in the Holy Land held more detailed records.

With this thought in mind, he planned to ask the scholars from the Prefecture City and those from the Holy Land’s Creation Law Lineage to investigate the bloodline origins of the Cloud Wing Bird after he returned.

He then drank another bowl of soup and tore off a bird leg to eat.

No matter how strange the Cloud Wing Bird’s bloodline might be, it was indeed highly nourishing.

The intention of cold and death it carried was faint, posing no effect even on ordinary mortals.

On the contrary, the aggressively masculine energy it contained could stimulate Qi-Blood and bolster the physical body.

"You should set off early today, by afternoon you need to find a Pure Land and not wait until it’s close to nightfall,"

Lin Yan said, "Having eaten the Cloud Wing Bird, your Qi-Blood will be stronger..."

As he finished speaking, Lin Yan directly plucked some fur from the Little White Ape and handed it over, "Its demon energy is quite potent and can scare away common little demons."

During deceitful nights, endless evil harries, and in the light of day, the Evil Spirit retreats and hides, but demons can still roam during the daylight.

For ordinary people, robust Qi-Blood isn’t necessarily a good thing, as it attracts demons... yet they don’t possess the strength to resist them.

Watching the family gratefully accept the fur,

The Little White Ape touched its waist and muttered, "Wouldn’t it have been enough to pluck the fur from my hands? There was no need to take it from my waist; it might cause kidney issues in the future."

However, when it felt the spot again, it was somewhat shocked.

The patch of white fur that had just been plucked had already grown back.

It looked at Lin Yan, then at the pot of bird soup, and couldn’t help but swallow its saliva.

It had heard that the Cloud Wing Bird was a great medicinal remedy, but having consumed plenty of Elixir Pills and other tonics in the city, it didn’t believe the Cloud Wing Bird would have much effect on it.

This time, its main interest was in the Cloud Wing Bird’s reputation as a delicious and nourishing rarity, so rare that it was nearly exalted as Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow, and it wanted to try something fresh and satisfy its craving.
