Chapter 60: Years of Passionate Burning

  After finishing his work, Zhang Cheng suddenly smelled a very enticing aroma, and in an instant, saliva flowed down uncontrollably. From afar, he saw that the six-eared deer had already been roasted to a golden yellow color, and the fragrance was coming from it.

  "Hey, you're just waking up at the right time! I've just finished roasting it. Come on, have a leg first." Chu Yan waved his hand and a small knife appeared in his hand. With a swift motion, he sliced off a leg and presented it to Zhang Cheng, saying: "Try some, I guarantee you'll want seconds!"

  Zhang Cheng took the golden deer leg, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, instantly, a strange flavor passed through his nostrils straight to his brain, instantly, he seemed to lose control, and went up with one bite.

  Chu Yan slowed down, cut off a small piece of meat with his knife and put it in his mouth. He turned around to see Zhang Cheng gobbling down food like a wolf, and reminded him: "Don't just eat, you have to chew slowly, or else be careful not to burst."

  "Hmm!" Zhang Cheng had already opened his mouth to answer the question, but instead just made a humming noise with his nose and continued chewing and swallowing.

  He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "It's too delicious, it's really too delicious."

  However, Zhang Cheng did not dare to be careless and immediately divided his attention into two parts. On the one hand, he swallowed quickly, and on the other hand, he vigorously operated the "Food is Heaven" technique to digest the powerful energy in his stomach. Suddenly, he felt that his body was slowly heating up.

  This feeling Zhang Cheng had experienced before, that was the feeling of strengthening his physique when he practiced "Golden Bell Shield", and at this moment, he felt it again, and even more violently than when he practiced "Golden Bell Shield" before, which made Zhang Cheng very excited.

  Before long, Zhang Cheng had devoured the entire leg. Now he finally understood why Chu Yan was infatuated with this dish - it was incredibly satisfying. On one hand, it could satisfy his appetite; on the other hand, it could also enhance his physique. This was simply not an ordinary delight.

  At this moment, he seemed to be addicted, staring straight at the six-eared deer still hanging on the grill, then licked his lips.

  "Don't look at me, if you want to eat, get it yourself! I don't have the time to serve you!" Chu Yan said with a mouthful of greasy food, speaking to Zhang Cheng.

  "Heh heh, okay." Zhang Cheng chuckled and walked to the side of the grill, also taking out a small unknown knife from his storage ring, then started cutting.

  In a short while, the entire 100-200 jin six-eared deer was swallowed into the two men's stomachs. However, their stomachs did not feel bloated because the meat had all transformed into strength and infused into their bodies.

  "Brother Pig, your method is great. Just eating one meal has achieved the same effect as my one year of body refinement." Zhang Cheng couldn't help but exclaim.

  At this moment, he could clearly feel that his physical strength had increased by more than five times compared to before, completely beyond his imagination.

  "That's for sure, your current physique is still far from enough, and you're eating the best of the spiritual beasts. You can't help but improve. Later on, when Brother Chu's cultivation has improved, I'll catch a dragon for you to eat. If you eat a dragon, then you'll know what it means to be truly carefree."

  "I don't want dragon meat now, but after eating Pig Brother's roast meat, how can I eat other dishes in the future!" Zhang Cheng said with some distress.

  Now he has tasted something so delicious that if he were to eat the food he used to eat again, it would be no different from eating pig feed. So, he is somewhat distressed.

  "Hehe, no worries, Brother Chu will pass on his skills to you. Later when you go down the mountain alone to train, you can roast and eat them yourself." said Chu Yan enthusiastically.

  "That's great, but, Brother Pig, if you're going to teach me, then you mustn't hold back any secrets. You have to pass on everything you know to me!" Zhang Cheng replied with a mouthful of agreement.

  In the past when he was in college, every time they went on an outing, he would be the head chef, grilling something to eat, because his grilled dishes tasted very good and were deeply loved by beautiful women.

  But he's been wanting to learn how to make those for a long time now, who knows maybe one day he can use it to impress some girls.

  "Don't worry, I've even taught you the secret art of 'Food is Heaven', what's the point of worrying about these skills?!" Chu Yan waved his hand and said this sentence, then took the grill to the waterfall edge to rinse it off. After that, he directly handed it over to Zhang Cheng: "This grill was specially made for me by someone, it's a Ling-class second-grade artifact, I'll let you use it."

  "No, no, no, how can this be? As the saying goes, a gentleman does not force his preferences on others. From now on, I'll find someone to refine it myself!" Zhang Cheng hastily excused himself.

  A Ling-level treasure is already considered a very high-grade treasure in the current cultivation world, so this gift is quite valuable. He didn't have anything that he could give him in return, so he couldn't accept it.

  "You're looking at me, and I'm seeing you outside, aren't you? I said it to you, that's what I meant, and besides, I have a spare one here, no big deal." Chu Yan said with an air of annoyance.

  "Oh, okay then!" Zhang Cheng saw Chu Yan say this, he also didn't know what else to say.

  "Right, if you're not in a hurry to leave, I'll start teaching you how to roast meat now!" Chu Yan said.

  "No rush, no rush, then you teach me first." Zhang Cheng hastily nodded and said.

  "Let's go, follow me to catch an ordinary wild beast back. At the beginning, we can't use too good materials, or it would be a waste..."

  The two of them then left this place, but from now on, Dan Dao Zong would no longer be at peace.

  ……

  Half a year's time passed in the blink of an eye, inside the Dan Dao Zong Nourishing Heart Temple, Dan Qing True Person sat on a meditation mat, his eyebrows furrowed, as if worrying about something.

  At this moment, he was already in a state of utter distress. His spiritual beast had lost over a dozen animals in the past half year, and even the ordinary wild beasts on the mountain seemed to have been swept away by someone. The small animals that originally filled the mountains and fields were now nowhere to be seen, not even a single hair could be found.

  It wasn't until he inquired that he found out it was actually his own useless disciple who was teaching Zhang Cheng how to barbecue, and even called it "passing on the skills".

  When he heard the result, his head swelled up at that time. Originally, Dan Tao Sect already had a Chu Yan, which was enough to give him a headache, and now there was another one, he really didn't know what to do anymore.

  Moreover, he also guessed that the lost spiritual beasts during this period were all taken away by these two little guys. Fortunately, except for the six-eared deer, the levels of those other spiritual beasts were not very high, so he didn't bother to investigate further.

  However, he was clear that if things were allowed to develop further, the spiritual beasts he had raised would eventually be ruined by those two.

  No, in order to prevent this matter from developing in a direction he did not want to see, he immediately called someone to find Danchenzi, wanting him to control his disciple.

  "Big brother, you're looking for me?" At this time, Danchenzi walked in from outside.

  "What have you been up to lately, don't you know that your precious disciple is getting close to Chu Yan? Hurry up and bring him back to me, I'll teach him a lesson. If not, I'll have to do it myself." Dan Qing True Person said with an ill temper.

  "Big brother, don't you know what I've been doing lately?" Danchenzi has been coming here almost every day, all for the sake of "Xuanyuan Jing".

  But this Dan Qing was unwilling to compromise, which made him very depressed.

  Just recently, he heard that his apprentice and Chu Yan were together, then they harmed the spiritual beast on the mountain. This might be bad news for Dan Qing Zhen Ren, but for him, it was undoubtedly good news. So, he didn't come to bother Dan Qing Zhen Ren instead.

  This was not the case, and the true Dharma Master could no longer wait, so he sent someone to call himself.

  "Alas, I've said it many times before, this rule cannot be broken in my hands. If you really want this technique, then wait a few more years until I step down and pass the position of leader to you. You can handle it however you like, okay?" Dan Qing Zhen Ren immediately understood what Dan Chen Zi meant after hearing his words, and said with some embarrassment.

  "That won't do, even if I can wait, my apprentice can't, and besides, I promised him a surprise earlier, but now this surprise is still out of reach, how can I explain to him?" Dan Chenzi said helplessly.

  "Can't you find something else? Must it be my 'Xuanyuan Scripture'?" Dan Qing True Person said irritably.
