“Greetings, Young Master!” As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, the beautiful receptionists on both sides greeted them in unison, lining the path to welcome them.
They wore well-fitting uniforms, their features as beautiful as a painting.
Their skin was fair and delicate, and they wore well-trained, appropriate smiles, appearing extremely professional.
Bei Yuxuan was long accustomed to such a display; he gave a slight nod and walked straight toward the back of the lobby.
The hotel’s interior was luxuriously decorated, with walls made of precious Glazed Stones.
Sunlight streamed through the windows, refracting into colorful rays.
A large Soul Tool Colored Lamp hung from the center of the ceiling, its light soft and bright, illuminating the entire lobby in a grand and magnificent manner.
“Wow, what beautiful decorations!” It was Tang Ya’s first time seeing such a luxurious scene.
Her eyes were filled with wonder, and she couldn’t help but slow her pace to look around.
“Mhm, it’s indeed quite nice.” Lu Chen nodded, but his gaze swept carefully over the receptionists on both sides, as if he were observing something.
Passing through a long corridor, the group soon arrived before a heavy purple door.
The door slowly opened, revealing a round dining table.
The table was covered with various delicacies, numbering at least twenty dishes.
As they approached slightly, they could feel a clear fluctuation of spirit power.
Clearly, these were all Spirit Beast meats!
Tang Ya subconsciously swallowed her saliva and exclaimed, “So much Spirit Beast meat, how much must this cost?!” The corners of Bei Yuxuan’s mouth curled up slightly, looking indifferent.
“Not expensive, just a bit over a hundred thousand gold coin.” Lu Chen smacked his lips, stunned in his heart: Rich people really are capricious!
Tang Ya was completely dazed.
The Tang Sect’s annual profit was only about a hundred thousand gold coin, yet it wasn’t even enough to cover the cost of this single meal.
Evil capitalists!
After everyone was seated, Lu Chen was the first to pick up a piece of lobster meat.
The moment it entered his mouth, a fresh fragrance rushed straight to his taste buds.
Before he could savor it, he sensed a rich surge of spirit power pouring into his body.
His entire body felt slightly warm, as if an endless stream of vital energy was washing through his limbs and bones.
Lu Chen’s eyes lit up, and he marveled, “Such rich spirit power!
How many years old was this Spirit Beast lobster?” At this moment, a beautiful maid by the table stepped forward with a smile to introduce: “To answer the young master, this is a thirty-thousand-year Demon Soul Shrimp from the deep sea.
After being freshly caught, it was personally prepared by our establishment’s Food-type Soul Master.
It is delicious and melts in your mouth.
Consuming it can both increase spirit power and nourish vital energy; it is our signature dish.” “No wonder!” With just one bite, Lu Chen clearly felt a slight increase in both his vital energy and spirit power.
He immediately picked up two more pieces of shrimp meat and began to chew.
Seeing this, Bei Yuxuan offered a timely reminder, “Brother Lu, everything on this table is ten thousand year Spirit Beast meat.
The taste is good, but remember to stop when appropriate, otherwise, spirit power overload could be life-threatening.” He was afraid Lu Chen would explode from overeating, which would be quite the disaster.
“Rest assured, Brother Bei Yuxuan, I know what I’m doing.” Lu Chen waved his hand, grabbing the leg of an unknown Spirit Beast and gnawing on it.
Feeling the surging rich spirit power within him, Lu Chen subconsciously began to circulate the Flowing Water Meditation Method.
At the same time, he controlled his vital energy to continuously wash through his meridians, tempering his physical body.
But in the next second, he felt it wasn’t enough.
The Flowing Water Meditation Method was too gentle; even if it could improve conversion efficiency, it couldn’t keep up with the speed at which the Spirit Beast meat replenished energy.
“Just as well, let’s try a different Meditation Technique.” With a thought, Lu Chen immediately switched to the Explosive Heart Meditation Technique.
Instantly, a domineering suction force erupted from within him.
The dissipating spirit power that was originally battering his meridians was violently converted and forcibly sucked into his dantian.
Lu Chen’s meridians and internal organs all cracked, but they immediately recovered.
Lu Chen’s mind was shaken.
“What a terrifying absorption speed!
This efficiency is already more than ten times that of ordinary cultivation methods!” Then he frowned slightly; the Explosive Heart Meditation Technique was too domineering, and an ordinary physical body simply couldn’t withstand it.
If it weren’t for his special constitution and the continuous replenishment from the Spirit Beast’s vital energy, he really wouldn’t be able to run it for long.
However, he had discovered a new way to quickly increase his strength.
Others were wary of the terrifying vital energy and spirit power contained in Spirit Beast meat, needing to spend a lot of time digesting it each time they ate.
But he didn’t need to at all!
The Explosive Heart Meditation Technique was like a black hole, domineeringly devouring external energy.
His own terrifying recovery power could repair the ruptured organs in time.
And in the process, the vital energy contained within the Spirit Beast could be absorbed by the ruptured organs.
As long as he maintained a relatively stable frequency, he didn’t have to worry about suddenly exploding and scaring others.
It could both increase spirit power and temper the physical body.
Killing multiple birds with one stone!
Thinking of this, Lu Chen stopped pretending and directly grabbed a whole flying Spirit Beast, gnawing on it in large mouthfuls.
“Brother Lu!
You…” Bei Yuxuan was completely stunned when he saw this.
He himself could barely handle a few pieces; his whole body was flushed red as he exerted all his effort to digest the spirit power within him.
Yet Lu Chen was devouring it ravenously, and his body showed no abnormalities whatsoever.
It was as if these ten thousand year Spirit Beast meats were just ordinary food.
So, he swallowed the worried words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He murmured to himself, “Is this a monster from the Body Sect?
Truly a freak!” Elder Chen, behind Bei Yuxuan, had also been keeping an eye on Lu Chen.
When he saw such a domineering absorption speed, his pupils suddenly constricted.
What Meditation Technique is this little fellow practicing?
It’s actually so terrifying!
Looking at Tang Ya on the side, although she wasn’t as exaggerated as Lu Chen, she was also eating slowly.
He knew that, in his perception, Tang Ya was only a two-ring Spirit Grandmaster.
While his own young master was already a Soul Elder, this was clearly a gap caused by their cultivation methods.
Elder Chen’s heart was shaken.
Is this the foundation of a top-tier sect?
The other servants in the hall were even more dumbfounded, standing as still as wooden chickens.
The way they looked at Lu Chen was like they were looking at a monster.
Lu Chen paid no attention to everyone’s reactions at this moment; he could clearly feel the spirit power in his body soaring rapidly.
It had already reached the critical point of breakthrough.
The spirit power level, which was originally estimated to take a month to break through, was actually sprinting madly under the nourishment of a large amount of ten thousand year Spirit Beast meat!
In the next instant, Lu Chen’s eating motion paused slightly, and a look of joy appeared on his face: “I’ve broken through!” Not only did his spirit power advance, but he could also feel his physical strength increase by a few points.
Generally speaking, if a Spirit Master hasn’t absorbed a spirit ring, it’s difficult to perceive the specific level of spirit power increase.
But that wonderful feeling was still precisely grasped by Lu Chen.
“I wonder, with my current physical strength, how many years of a spirit ring I can absorb?” Lu Chen murmured in his heart.
The reason he had delayed absorbing a spirit ring was that he wanted to reach the limit of his physical potential using the sect’s resources after joining the Body Sect.
Lu Chen had only one Spirit, so the age of each spirit ring was crucial.
This was directly related to whether he could become a god in the future.
Although he had thought about secretly following Huo Yuhao to the Star Dou Great Forest after the plot began.
To capture the Skydream Ice Worm and obtain a Second Martial Soul.
But whether the Skydream Ice Worm was a deliberate arrangement by Tang San, he had no way of knowing.
If Skydream didn’t choose him or if Tang San directly intervened, it would be game over.
Such a matter of gambling on luck was something Lu Chen was unwilling to touch.
Rather than pinning hopes on the unknown, it was better to temper his physical body in a down-to-earth manner.
With his Immortal Body, he was confident he could push the limit of his first spirit ring to over a thousand years!
If he consumed Whale Glue, Spirit Medicine, or other items that increased physical strength, the age of the spirit ring could be raised even further.
