Chapter 248 - 194: Jiang Hui and Willow God Discuss Tao (1) (First Update)_2
Presumably, for this village, the flesh and blood of pure blood creatures are incredibly precious. It is rare for them to use it as food. Liu Village treats them as important guests, hence they offer such valuable fare.
On the square.
With the chunks of meat continuously turning on the iron rack,
in no time at all, they were all sizzling and oily, their surfaces turning golden brown.
Little Dot ate until his body was hot. He had lost count of how many pieces he had stuffed into his mouth. His stomach was so full. The energy contained in the flesh and blood of pure blood creatures is too overwhelming. Even with his physique, he couldn’t eat too much at once.
“We owe it to you, Little Dot, that we get to eat this food at all…”
Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen ate until their mouths were greasy. The stone table in front of the two was piled with big bones as tall as half a man. They were both unable to eat any more; they had reached their limits.
“Being able to eat it occasionally is fine. This is the flesh of the pure blood creature, it’s available but not easily come by.”
Shi Hao wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth and patted his round belly, reflecting profoundly.
In such short spans of time, he would continuously engage in fights, but had caught very few pure blood creatures; most were merely Species of the Ancient Times with high ancestral bloodline recurrence.
“It’s not exactly occasional, about once a month in general. Our village chief has said that this stuff is hard to digest and it requires time to absorb, or else it will accumulate in our body and be wasted.”
At this, Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen immediately shook their heads.
“Consume the flesh and blood of a pure blood creature once a month?”
Liu Village Deity was somewhat incredulous. If it was true, it was all too astonishing.
Should be known, the bloodlines of pure blood creatures were only second to Ancient Beasts and the Ten Evil. Even the terrifying patriarchs of orthodox Dao in Upper Realm wouldn’t dare to say that they could slaughter a pure blood creature every month.
This was not about power, but scarce figures. These creatures were very rare, all ruled over by their own powers, extremely united, and unimaginably strong, capable of rivaling the Supreme Daoist Union.
“Well, that’s not exactly true. If there are certain holidays or festivals in the middle, we may have it a few more times. On average, maybe once every twenty days?”
Being serious and meticulous, Tu Wa Zi counted on his fingers.
Willow God was even more incredulous. The wilderness was only a corner of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Pure blood creatures were so scarce that they could be counted on one hand. From where could they get so much flesh and blood of pure blood creatures?
Even if they had hunted down all the pure blood creatures in the Wilderness, they wouldn’t have enough to go round.
Nevertheless, she didn’t voice her doubts, considering the two just being whimsical kids.
Just at this time.
In the distance.
Along with a series of hearty laughter, two iron tower-like figures walked over from afar.
They were like two giants, towering over everyone by several heads, with terrifying vitality emanating from their bodies. It even gave off a sense of burning like a raging fire.
Behind these burly men was a giant black shadow as tall as a mountain, causes loud noises.
It was a huge black python. Its whole body was armored in scales, starting from its snake eyes to its tail, it had a menacing row of hot, blood-red crests. It looked somewhat demonically charming.
“Pure blood Nether King python?!”
Liu Village Deity was not able to stay calm any longer.
If her memory served her right, this beast was at most a Species of the Ancient Times. Even some ancestor creatures failed to evolve into pure blood creatures.
During the Ancient Fairy Era, she had casually tamed a Nether King python ancestor whose bloodline had been infinitely close to the pure blood creatures, but in the end, it couldn’t complete the transformation.
Ferocious beasts were proud of their bloodlines, which were already ingrained in their bones. Bloodline would gradually dilute over generations, and it was rare to have an offspring who could precisely inherit the ancestor’s bloodline.
No matter what, it would follow the existing rules.
Over the long years, she never encountered an offspring with a bloodline surpassing the ancestors.’
“This is our village’s Black Python Protector. It usually stays in the mountains… it came because of the smell…”
Old man Lin said with a smile and promptly offered, accommodating Little Black just like a distinguished guest.
More large chunks of meat were brought out, and after being grilled and seared, they were directly fed to the Black Python.
“If I am not wrong, that beast should be a Ghostly King Mang, right?”
The Liu Village Deity turned to Old Man Lin. There were too many questions in her heart waiting for answers now.
“Your perception is quite commendable. The Black Python Protector is indeed a Nether King python!”
Old man Lin nodded in agreement, adding a degree of admiration for the discerning eyes of the eminent lady in front of him. She had been able to detect the identity of the Black Python Protector at first glance.
“Since it is a Nether King python, if I am not mistaken, its bloodline should account for inheritance only. Why does your village have… a pure-blooded form?”
Old Man Lin was even more astonished.
Recognising the identity of the Black Python Protector with one glance was understandable, but to discern various bloodlines with one glance was somewhat too sharp-eyed.
His heart immediately became apprehensive.
No wonder Lord Willow God let them pass without hindrance; this woman could possibly have an extraordinary background that exceeded his imagination.
However, Old Man Li, who had been with Jiang Hui for many years and had seen quite a lot, wore the same amiable smile as always.
“The Guest is truly incredible, she instantly recognized that the Black Python Protector is a pure blood creature just by her naked eyes.” Old Man Lin remarked.
“I want to know how this Nether King python transformed into a pure blood creature, I wonder if the clan leader could disclose it?”
For once, Willow God was genuinely curious.
She had lived through many long years, experienced calamities of alien tribes, seen so many, so many things, but had never seen or heard the like.
“Naturally, this was the work of the god of our village. Not only the Black Python Protector, even the Departure Fire Divine Bull was previously graced by divine favor and successfully became a pure blood creature!”
Old Man Lin exclaimed pridefully, being a villager of Liu Village and constantly accompanying the Willow God, was his greatest pride.
Willow God’s gaze, that seemed as if time had not left any traces on it, gently blinked but did not continue to speak.
That’s because she really didn’t know how to respond.
The Liu Village Deity seemed even more mysterious in her heart.
After three rounds of drink and a rest for a while,
Old Man Lin approached Willow God and Little Dot and others.
“Honoured guests, our Lord God has requested your presence!”
Little Dot immediately grew interested.
He had interacted with the deity of this village several times, and the deity seemed to know a lot, even leaving him with some incomprehensible sentences. He wanted to clear his confusion today.
“Clan Leader, please lead the way!” Willow God said leisurely, her appearance returning to calm.
Above the mountains behind the village,
The group soon arrived.
“Bamboos break the boundaries to welcome the faraway guest, raising a cup to toast the unbeaten predecessors, welcome honoured guests to Liu Village!”
Jiang Hui did not use his Divine Ability Dream of Millet to make himself appear more formidable.
There was no need.
Like a light breeze, he walked slowly from a distance, waving his hand, the power of the Technique of Creation surged, a finely crafted stone table appeared in front of them, equipped with steaming hot tea utensils.
All of which was delicate, filled with tea aroma, the color was plain and antique.
“Daring to ask who I am sharing a seat with, I am Jiang Hui, the guest of Stone Village. Please!”
Jiang Hui opened his mouth, his eyes shining brightly, like the Milky Way above the Nine Heavens, exceptionally bright, exceptionally exquisite, as if they could see through everything in this world.
Surrounding them, the night wind blew, the bamboo danced in the mist, the flowers sway, the peculiar flowers and plants around emitted a refreshing fragrance…
“Are you the deity who protects this village?”
Willow God was somewhat surprised.
Because this man in front of her was incredibly ordinary, aside from his appearence being somewhat commendable, the feeling he gave her was just like a common person.
Of course, she would definitely not think that this man in front of her was a common person.
After all, common people would not have such a superb illusion technique.
But fake is always fake, it can never become real.
However, the other party’s illusion technique to welcome her, she also needed to be gracious.
Willow God’s expression was indifferent, and she poured herself a cup of clear tea.
But as the liquid emanating a soft glow in the cup was about to trickle down her throat, she paused momentarily.
“Is this tea… Real?”
After a long while, Willow God spoke again, her eyes full of profound shock….
