Chapter 40: Grand Banquet

  In the blink of an eye, it's already July. This month on White Head Mountain is probably the fastest progress Su Dong has ever made in his history. The second gate of Longjia Ba Men has reached its final stage, and Biliu Huangquan Jiuzhongtian is close to the second heaven.

  As for his spiritual power, it was still crazily increasing during his cultivation. Unfortunately, there was no machine here to test his spiritual power, and Su Dong himself didn't know what level his spiritual power had reached now.

  What surprised Su Dong even more was his first major magical artifact. Su Dong arranged the two artifacts and the major artifact in a triangular formation, placing them around the perimeter of the pond to enhance the growth of the Fox Spirit Grass with the power of the formation.

  In early July, a full half month ahead of schedule, the four-product spiritual medicine Hu Xian Cao had already arrived at the harvest season.

  Su Dong and Hui Yu were excited to break open the frozen pond, but Hui Yu was afraid of water. So Su Dong took off his clothes and jumped into the pond to retrieve the root of the Fox Fairy Grass.

  The rhizome of Foxglove grows in the muddy bottom of a pond, looking like early spring bamboo shoots, pure white, slightly larger than a fist.

  "Haha! I finally got my hands on the Fox Fairy Grass!" The old man with gray feathers excitedly rubbed his hands together, exclaiming: "Quickly wash all of these clean and then have a big feast! Fox Fairy Grass is extremely delicate, it's best to consume it within three hours of picking, or else its effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

  Su Dong nodded, and washed the roots of the Fox Fairy Grass in the water pool to remove the mud. Then he used a small knife to cut it into six pieces. Suddenly, a strong fragrance wafted up, making Su Dong and Hui Yu both drool.

  "What a great thing! This time I've harvested a much larger batch of fox spirit grass than what I had before, it's probably going to taste even better!"

  Huiyu picked up a petal and held it in her hand, admiring it as she muttered to herself.

  After saying that, Grey Feather put the cut fox spirit grass into his mouth and took a bite. Instantly, his face stiffened, and he forced himself to chew. The old man's complexion gradually began to turn green...

  "Ptoo! What's this taste? It's not even as good as celery! How did you do it? I remember that Fox Fairy Grass shouldn't have tasted like this!" Grey Feather's face was extremely ugly, shouting loudly there, while Su Dong was eating faster and faster.

  "It tastes good, but eating meat all the time is bad for your body. You should also eat some vegetarian dishes occasionally." Su Dong said while munching on a piece of Fox Fairy Grass, thinking that Hui Yu was not used to eating vegetarian food.

  Hui Yu furrowed his brow, took another small bite, and didn't even dare to chew, his face turned iron-green as he swallowed it down, muttering to himself: "This is really not right, the Fox Fairy Grass shouldn't have this kind of taste. Moreover, the Fox Fairy Grass is famous for having a large amount of star spirit power, but this batch of Fox Fairy Grass seems to have very chaotic spiritual energy."

  Su Dong listened and suddenly froze, as if remembering something, but his hands didn't stop moving, continuing to devour the rare treasure with big mouthfuls.

  He raised his head, the gray feathers gazing up at the sky, and said in his mouth: "The reason why the White Spirit clan planted the Fox Fairy Grass here is that this place has a high altitude and is close to the starry sky, which makes it convenient to collect the spiritual power of the stars. But how did these Fox Fairy Grass seem to have collected many miscellaneous things?"

  Su Dong didn't dare say anything more, he had already understood that the Fox Spirit Grass becoming like this was probably due to his own array method.

  Su Dong set up the Qimen formation by the pond where the Fox Spirit Grass grew, and the Qimen formation gathered spiritual energy from all over the world! So these Fox Spirit Grass were no longer simple, with multiple spiritual energies mixed inside, making it very difficult for Old Man Gray Feather to swallow.

  Huiyu's face turned iron-green, but Su Dong was completely unaffected. The reason was simple: he was a Qimen successor and had always used hybrid spiritual energy. Moreover, Su Dong was more accustomed to vegetarianism than Huiyu, unlike the old man who couldn't live without meat.

  In a flash, nineteen and a half of the twenty Fox Spirit Grass roots were eaten by Su Dong, while Old Man Huiyu gritted his teeth and managed to eat only half a root.

  "What kind of stomach do you have? You can eat something that tastes so bad?" Grey Feather frowned, looking at Su Dong with a weird expression.

  Su Dong naturally wouldn't reveal the truth about the formation, and simply said it was because Hui Yu had been eating meat for years and wasn't used to it.

  "Don't worry, at dinner time I'll stew deer meat with foxglove herb, maybe it will suit your appetite." Su Dong said after thinking for a moment.

  Huiyu nodded repeatedly and said, "You're right, without the meat of the fox fairy grass, it wouldn't be delicious. Wait for me, I'll go catch a tame deer, we'll stew it tonight."

  ……

  Satisfied, a strong sense of satisfaction made Su Dong feel so comfortable that he almost shouted out.

  He lay directly on the snowy ground beside the pool of water. Although it was already summer, the temperature on Mount Baishui was still very low and the snow would not melt.

  Above his head was a blue sky, and inside Su Dong's body was a mysterious and wonderful power flowing, seemingly brought by the Fox Fairy Grass.

  After eating this very expensive meal, Su Dong felt more and more unbearable heat in his body.

  "It's too hot, what's going on!?" Su Dong panted heavily, his whole body feeling like it was on fire, his heart racing with increasing speed.

  Su Dong took off his clothes and jumped directly into the cold water, only in the icy water did Su Dong feel slightly better.

  "Green falls into the yellow spring, the first layer of heaven!"

  Rumble...

  Su Dong used the Huangquan Jue technique he was taught to slap out a palm in the water, causing the entire pool of water to be lifted up and crash against the distant mountain wall, producing a massive sound.

  In an instant, Su Dong felt comfortable all over, and that hot power that made him feel stifled also dissipated.

  But soon, the heat returned, and Su Dong directly used the Nine Heavens of Biliu Huangquan's technique to cultivate in the water.

  Once he enters a state of cultivation, Su Dong will become selfless and a bit crazy!

  All I see is this dead water with huge waves rolling in the sky, large pieces of white foam are constantly churning and turning in mid-air!

  ……

  Around dusk, Su Dong finally calmed down and grabbed the edge of the water pool with both hands, burying his head underwater.

  Opening her eyes, she saw that the leaves of those fox spirit grasses were like ribbons floating in the water, swaying back and forth. She had eaten twenty of them at noon, but there were still many left under the pool.

  He lifted his head and wiped the water off his face with his hand, only to see Old Man Huiyu smiling at him with a finger stretched out, poking Su Dong's waist again.

  "You little scamp, you're going crazy! A good pond like this, and you've turned it into what?" Old Man Huiyu said with a chuckle.

  Su Dong said with embarrassment: "So you saw it all? It's strange, I don't know why, after eating this fox spirit grass, my whole body felt hot and dry, even jumping into the water pool to take a cold shower didn't work, I had to use my qigong to force myself to calm down."

  The old man with gray feathers had a bright light in his eyes, and he said: "Fox fairy grass is cold in nature, but you ate it and felt hot instead? This is strange, maybe it's because of your physical problem, after all, this fox fairy grass is the treasure of the spiritual beast clan, and you are a human being.

  He let out a sigh and Grey Feather muttered to himself: "You're really strange, as a human you've cultivated the spiritual beast clan's techniques."

  Su Dong was taken aback and pretended to be at a loss, saying: "I'm studying the legacy of the Spiritual Beast Clan?"

  "It's absolutely unmistakable, in the past I didn't dare to confirm it, but today seeing you cultivating in the water pool, made me recall some things. The one you're using is definitely from our Spiritual Beast Clan's heritage, and it's not even a good one." Grey Feather said.

  "Not so good?" Su Dong asked curiously, he knew that his own spiritual beast clan's magical heritage belonged to the nine heavens of Bi Lu Huang Quan, but in front of Old Man Hui Yu, Su Dong did not want to say these things, after all, the origin of Huang Quan Jue was something Su Dong couldn't explain clearly.

  "Not very good." Grey Feather Old Man shook his head and said, "It seems to be the inheritance of Power God Tord's lineage, which is also the demonic path of our spiritual beast clan."

  Su Dong was also curious about what made his Huang Quan Jue so powerful, so he quickly asked. However, the old man in gray feathers stopped talking after saying that and just looked at Su Dong with a strange gaze.

  At night, they stewed deer meat and fox fairy grass. Su Dong still ate with relish, but the old man Hui Yu looked even more unpleasant, shouting that the taste of fox fairy grass was strange and even the deer meat had become worse because of it.

  The old man with grey feathers got angrier the more he ate, and finally stopped eating altogether. As a result, Su Dong saved money again, and all twenty fox fairy grasses went into his belly.

  The feeling of heat came again, Su Dong hurriedly jumped into the water pool, trying to eliminate the heat in her body like at noon.

  Perhaps due to the accumulation of noon and evening, this time the effect of cold water is much weaker than at noon.

  Gradually, Su Dong's eyes and body turned crimson red, practicing the Huang Quan Jue in the water pool like a madman!

  Rumble...

  Su Dong's palms pushed forward simultaneously, and the powerful spiritual energy turned the water in the pool into cannonballs, exploding out! They hit the mountain wall, shaking the sky for a while!

  Waaaahhhh!!!

  Su Dong let out a blood-curdling roar!

  Rumble... Rumble...

  The water in the pool was stirred up by Su Dong and became a mess, while he himself was gradually losing consciousness.

  "As I expected..." The old man with gray feathers looked worried and stood in the passage leading to the water pool, muttering to himself.

  Clap Clap Clap~

  Only to see Grey Feather suddenly accelerate, stepping on the rocks on the stone wall and flying into the air!

  Bang!

  Its wings spread wide, the Grey Feather finally revealed its true form - a massive eagle with a body spanning hundreds of meters! Its two eyes shone golden, like precious gems sparkling under the moonlight!

  "Mystic Art! Cangying Yaoyue!"
