Cultivating Through The Game

Chapter 123: You May Profit But I Never Lose


Bang! A figure made of light was smashed by Lu Yu, exploding into countless light particles that vanished into the air.

Lu Yu incorporated the absorbed martial art fragments into the Infinite Fist. This martial art also focused on speed, enhancing the attack speed of the Infinite Fast Fist.

By defeating the figure of light and absorbing the martial art insight fragments, he could integrate those fragments into the Infinite Fist, boosting attack speed, attack power, flame damage or ice damage. All other useless martial art insights were discarded, converted purely into experience points.

Though merging martial art fragments required lots of experience points, as the number of defeated figures of light increased, Lu Yu could accumulate more experience points.

After all, most martial arts weren't suitable to fuse into Infinite Fist.

After fusing several martial art fragments, Infinite Fast Fist could increase attack speed by 1.5 times, and Infinite Heavy Fist could raise attack power by 1.4 times.

The power of the Infinite Fist was growing quickly, and Lu Yu had a hunch that once the enhancement in attack speed and power exceeded twofold, Infinite Fist would rise to the Spiritual Level Fifth Grade.

After applying an ointment on the wounded area, Lu Yu found a wind-sheltered rock, sat down to rest, eat, and recover strength and Qi Blood.

Marching Pills could supply energy and nutrients required by the human body but weren't much help in replenishing Qi Blood. Compared to consuming Qi Blood Pills, Lu Yu preferred eating meat to restore Qi Blood.

He found some useless wooden boxes in his backpack, tore them to use as firewood, and still used the matches from his outdoor adventures with Little Tail to light the fire. Looking at the matchbox in his hand, Lu Yu reminisced about Little Tail.

As the match struck the friction paper, igniting, Lu Yu watched the flame as Little Tail's face gradually appeared in his mind.

"Some things can't be forgotten!"

Lu Yu lit a few sheets of paper and kindled the wood, placing a few special firestones designed to enhance flame temperature. Fire from just burning wood couldn't cook the meat of magical beasts.

Lu Yu had all kinds of seasonings in his backpack, and even if he didn't, he could buy them directly from the market.

In the Warrior's Secret Realm, having a hot meal wasn't easy. Fuel had to be brought, ingredients needed to be brought, everything had to be self-prepared, or else forget about eating anything hot.

The Warrior's Secret Realm was a desolate wasteland; battles completely ravaged this land's vitality. Hundreds or thousands of years passed, the original vegetation wilted and disappeared, leaving only stones and soil.

"(*@ο@*) Wow~ It smells good! Can I have some? I can trade something for it."

The voice came from above Lu Yu's head. Despite hunger, royal etiquette ensured Chu Tiange remained polite and refrained from immediately snatching.

Another reason was that snatching Lu Yu's barbecue would be too disgraceful. The big shots watching from the sky, including his family's elders, happened to be watching his every move from a chariot drawn by six crimson-golden flood dragons.

Of course, he was also ready to grab and run if Lu Yu refused.

Oh, wait, it should be challenging Lu Yu, defeating him, and then claiming the barbecue as spoils!

Looking at the young Chu Tiange, Lu Yu thought of Little Tail and said, "Come down! Come down and I'll give you some."

On hearing Lu Yu's willingness to give him barbecue, Chu Tiange quickly jumped off the chariot and landed in front of Lu Yu, his eyes fixed on the skewer of barbecue beside the fire. Lu Yu pulled out a large bamboo skewer with barbecue and handed it to him.

Chu Tiange promptly received it and started gnawing quickly. The barbecue rapidly disappeared from his hands.

Before today, he had never eaten such low-level magical beast meat. While not every meal had Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow, each meal definitely contained the most exquisite parts of a magical beast in its best condition.

The flavor was undoubtedly the best, and the texture and elasticity were certainly optimal.

Yet it wasn't as delicious as this piece of barbecue.

Maybe he was hungry, or maybe a child's nature just loves barbecue and spicy strips.

Seeing Chu Tiange proactively grab more barbecue, Lu Yu's eyelids twitched, assuming he would only eat one piece. Unexpectedly, he planned to eat till full.

It seemed that Chu Tiange's small build didn't mean he ate less than Lu Yu. Helplessly, Lu Yu could only buy more magical beast meat from the market, skewering and roasting them.

The cost wasn't much. Holding billions in assets, Lu Yu wasn't stingy about a few pieces of barbecue being eaten up, just that it was a hassle to roast. He couldn't use Celestial Falling Bright Flame to cook meat; magical beast meat required over half an hour to roast thoroughly.

This was using specially configured firestones for higher flame temperatures; using ordinary fire would take forever without roasting meat from beasts in the Fiendish Might stage.

In the market, there's meat sold from magical beasts, devils, and monsters in stages of Fiendish transformation, Fiendish aura, Fiendish might, and spiritual fiendish. For Lu Yu at the Qi Cultivation stage, Fiendish Might beast meat tasted best - chewy and digestible.

Lu Yu tried Spiritual Fiendish meat once, it was hard to digest and led to a stomach ache. Fiendish aura meat wasn't chewy enough, Fiendish transformation meat had little difference from ordinary animal meat.

The distinction between magical beasts and devils wasn't strict; Lu Yu called edible ones magical beasts, inedible ones devils.

For example, the black bear spirit seen at Kugu Ridge was edible and could be classed as either magical beast or devil. A carrion fire vulture, which seemed inedible, would simply be termed a devil.

Anything that couldn't be served on a table couldn't be called a magical beast.

Watching Lu Yu take out more meat to roast, Chu Tiange ate faster, figuring the faster he ate, the more he could eat.

"Burp~" Chu Tiange, leaning against the chariot, let out a loud burp sitting on stone, quickly covering his mouth and looking heavenward. Seeing nobody paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Chu Royal Mansion, burping after meals would lead to reprimands, lacking royal finesse.

Holding the black drink Lu Yu gave him, Chu Tiange took several gulps, feeling cool and refreshed, removing the greasy feeling from overeating barbecue.

Curiously, he asked, "What's this? So tasty, why haven't I drunk it before?"

"Cola, a drink I made myself," Lu Yu casually replied.

How can one eat barbecue without cola? A barbecue without cola lacks soul.

"You made it?" Chu Tiange noticed the Divine Weapon Pavilion badge on Lu Yu and realized he was a disciple, not caring much about which force one belonged to, thus neglecting Lu Yu's identity earlier.

Chu Tiange's eyes sparkled with a few gleams. He took out a Golden Pattern Nourishing Yuan Pill and offered it to Lu Yu, "I'll trade this for your "cola" formula, how about it?"

The pill wrapped in golden patterns intrigued Lu Yu, prompting him to ask, "What's this?"

"Golden Pattern Nourishing Yuan Pill, enhances Qi Blood and Spiritual Power, helps unify essence-spirit-energy, a royal exclusive pill of great value." Though young, Chu Tiange was knowledgeable about the worth of his belongings.

Golden Pattern Nourishing Yuan Pill, boosting Qi Blood and Spiritual Power? Thought Lu Yu, asking, "A royal exclusive pill, giving it to me, can I take it?"

"No problem, many so-called royal exclusive pills flow out every year; one or two won't hurt. Do you want to trade?" Chu Tiange stared at Lu Yu, "After giving me the cola formula, you're not allowed to give it to others, or the Chu Royal Mansion won't take it lightly."

Chu Tiange wanted the cola formula to make and sell it to other noble families in the royal city, profiting with numerous nourishments! Plus, the palace's little princess would surely like it if he found it good.

Trading the Golden Pattern Nourishing Yuan Pill for the cola formula was a windfall, Chu Tiange felt smug.

Seeing him say this, Lu Yu wrote down the cola formula and handed it to Chu Tiange. The formula was no secret; it could be easily found online. What made Coke and Pepsi popular was branding, not the formula.

Lu Yu scanned the Golden Pattern Nourishing Yuan Pill in the market to seek information.
