Chapter 67: Chapter 63 Qi Refilling, Body Refinement

As someone used to drinking light tea, Ning Xiaoxian remarked that everyone’s taste for tea was really strong!

Without a second word, she passed the big bowl over to Changtian.

He raised an eyebrow: "What for?"

"Help me chill it." She commanded confidently, "I need it really cold, but no ice formation, or the chicken won’t be tender!"

Helplessly shaking his head, he took the large bowl, held it at the base, and summoned the Mysterious Netherworld Divine Fire. The Mysterious Netherworld Divine Fire, which he obtained from the bed of Heavenly River and the perilous Red Flame Mountain among others, comprised of six different Divine Flames and could even bewilder a Daluo Golden Immortal. Poor thing, a spell that once roamed ancient times and had the power to destroy worlds, was now being used by Ning Xiaoxian simply to chill items—because the fire could reach extreme heat as well as extreme cold.

His control of temperature was top-notch. When Ning Xiaoxian took back the large bowl, she was pleased to see tiny droplets forming on it—indeed chilling enough.

minutes later, the rice in the clay pot was fully cooked, and the chicken thoroughly chilled. She expertly peeled and shredded the chicken, mixing it with soy sauce, vine pepper oil, oil chili, together with pre-fried peanut bits and cleaned chopped coriander, adjusting the flavor and mixing thoroughly—the cold side dish to go with the meal was ready.

At this time outside, it was still August, an unbearably hot season, and humidity in the forest was ample. Walking around in the forest all day would invariably lead to dizziness and drowsiness. This hand-shredded chicken was a timely delicacy; the chilled chicken lost its astringency and became particularly smooth, the skin no longer greasy but now elastic and chewy. Eating this mixed with rice had the true benefits of increasing appetite and generating saliva, and for travelers, it also had excellent effects on sore waists, achy knees, and depleted Qi-Blood.

She always put effort into cooking, yet Changtian never stopped her. Firstly, because the girl indeed produced tasty food—he might not say it, but he always eagerly anticipated the next meal. Sometimes, he would also reflect to himself that despite being a revered Divine Beast, he had grown increasingly concerned about culinary desires thanks to her; secondly, her physique was undergoing rapid transformation, needing more meat to nourish her body, the previous simple meals of porridge no longer sufficed.

Changtian never told her that, with Ning Xiaoxian’s physique, only the Demon Cultivation Technique could unlock the door to Divine Skills. Demon cultivation was naturally not as reserved as human cultivators, not requiring purified desires and light flavors. Eating meat to replenish Qi and nourish the body is indeed one of the fundamental cultivation methods for demons.

He had two little bat demons fetch wild game from the forest each morning before breakfast. With their swift speed and poison-tipped claws, catching small prey for the little demons was not a problem. The sentries had already landed to eat, their vigilance not as strict as at night. Their small statures made them unnoticeable in the forest, but even if they were discovered, what of it? Bai Jing and Bai Hong had no demon energy, so if they brought back a wild rabbit, others would just think they had the luck of coming across a doltish rabbit that ran into a tree and died.

Knowing Changtian’s request, she did not feel any guilt about using these twins as child labor; the little bat demons needed to feed on blood to survive anyway, not human blood, but catching animals to sustain themselves, needing not just to fend for their meals but also to provide for two other bat demons in God Demon Prison, ensuring they didn’t starve to death. She was merely joining in on chewing the fat.

Breakfast time, delightful as it was, ended, and what followed was a tough phase!

After drinking Golden Elixir Soup and having a rich breakfast, the next thing to do of course was exercise.

The day she left Siping County, she was quite despondent as there was no time to say goodbye to darling Old Huang. However, that sentimentality was soon replaced by curiosity: Changtian took out a thin booklet from his bosom, also made of neither gold nor jade, the material quite similar to the catalog of the Prison Book from God Demon Prison.

"Your body is still weak, you may rest for one day." He only approved her one day of rest, "From tomorrow, you shall learn this ’Guiding Technique’. Once your body gradually becomes accustomed to it, the frequency of practice will need to be doubled."

"Wow! I can learn the secret cultivation technique so soon." She grinned from ear to ear. Indeed, having kung fu skills means no need to panic. If she had possessed these skills when facing Shi Jishan, she wouldn’t have ended up seriously injured!
