The Mythical Demon Lord

Chapter 23 Recuperation
Three days later, Zhong Heng was finally able to get out of bed and walk.

At the same time, he also learned a lot of things in these three days.

This place is the most remote and resource-poorest place in the ancient star. There is not even a dynasty, only towns.

The highest level of cultivation is only the fourth extreme realm, and he is still the city lord.

There are countless mountains around it. If a cultivator at the fourth level wants to leave this town, it will take at least one or two years to do so.

Moreover, the monsters around are not strong either, because the resources here are too scarce, even the spiritual energy is scarcer than other places.

Ji Yunian herself is a genius with a special physique, but the laws of the Tao and her cultivation were absorbed by the Soul-Eating Demon, causing her divine body to become dormant.

God knows how shocked Zhong Heng was when he found out about this.

After all, in the entire trilogy world, only the Ruthless Emperor has such martial arts.

I didn’t expect that this kind of skill existed before the mythological era.

Unfortunately, the soul-eating demon only absorbed Ji Yunian's physical laws and cultivation, but did not absorb the origin.

It seems that the secret technique of the Soul-Eating Demon is not as domineering as that of the Ruthless Emperor.

As for why Ji Yunian was captured by the soul-eating devil and his physique and cultivation were absorbed.

Zhong Heng didn't know. He heard from Ji Yunian that she was deceived by her best friend, and then her best friend cooperated with the Soul-Eating Demon, which led to her becoming like this.

"Zhong Heng, there is no more food left at home, and no more income."

On this day, Zhong Heng was trying to repair his injured body when Ji Yunian's helpless voice was heard from a room.

Then she walked out, and saw that Zhong Heng was still trying hard to recover his cultivation, with embarrassment on her face.

"When I came out before, I only brought some money, but I spent it all on medicine." Ji Yunian's cute face was full of embarrassment.

As the eldest daughter of a family, she is now facing the situation of having no food to eat.

Zhong Heng had also observed during these three days that there was no fluctuation in Ji Yunian's cultivation, and he didn't even have any storage items on him.

It can be seen that apart from this person, she did not take anything else out of the family.

Not even her skirt or shoes.

"Okay, I'll find a way." Zhong Heng said helplessly.

He first used his divine sense to explore his own sea of ​​suffering.

I found that although there were many things inside, there was nothing that mortals could use.

During these three days, he used many low-level resources in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, but was still unable to repair the injuries in his body.

The reason was because when he was on the verge of death and entered the divine forbidden zone, he developed his own prototype system.

But not long after its formation, it suffered a devastating blow.

So he needs a lot of panaceas to recover now.

As for the King of Medicine, its medicinal properties are very strong.

Although his body was powerful and terrifying, his internal organs were injured, making it difficult for him to absorb the huge amount of energy.

He could only circulate the Immortal Sutra a few times now and was simply unable to absorb all of the medicinal properties.

You can only absorb the King of Medicine after your internal organs and tendons have fully recovered.

In the next few days, Zhong Heng went to the barren mountains and hunted a bear with some skills.

He even caught three powerful snakes and brought back some medicinal herbs and wild vegetables.

As for the grandpa who saved him together with Ji Yunian, he had already left.

I heard from Ji Yunian that grandpa went to live with his son.

In the next few months, Zhong Heng went to the barren mountains almost every week to hunt some uncultivated beasts.

His health got better day by day, and finally his divine power began to recover. Although he only had the strength of Lunhai, his body was strong and he was not afraid of the strong men of Zhandao.

But it was also during these few months that he found out some information.

Lu Kongzhan was killed and people were sent to look for his whereabouts.

This made Zhong Heng feel depressed, as Ji Yunian's family had once received help from Lu Kong.

If Ji Yunian reported his location to Lu Kong, he would be in danger.

These past few days, he has been observing Ji Yunian. As long as he finds anything wrong, he will strike with lightning speed and kill this woman.

But after a long time, he discovered that Ji Yunian knew nothing about this.

I even discuss with him every day what to eat and how to cook more deliciously.

Seeing this, Zhong Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ji Yunian was fine. If he was, even if he had the heart to do it, he would feel guilty about it.

He didn't want to become an ungrateful person and kill his savior right after he saved him.

"Ah Heng, I noticed that you cook delicious dishes. Why don't you open a restaurant? Anyway, your cultivation and injuries can't recover that quickly."

"Instead of going up the mountain to hunt every day, it would be more practical to open a restaurant."

That day, Ji Yunian was having dinner when he suddenly made this suggestion.

Zhong Heng was stunned, and long-lost memories emerged.

That was in his previous life. He dropped out of school at the age of fourteen and went out to work. He was a gangster for three years. In the end, his parents fell ill and he was powerless to help.

In the end, he couldn't make up the medical expenses, and his parents died of illness. Before they died, they told him to learn a craft, open a shop, and not to hang out with those bad guys.

Later, he took the advice and went to a culinary vocational training class, where he learned cooking techniques and theories for two years, and then went to work as a chef in a food stall.

My previous obsession was to open a restaurant.

Ji Yunian looked at Zhong Heng in silence. She blinked her big eyes and whispered, "What's wrong? Do you hate restaurants?"

"Or do you really like the feeling of fighting?"

She could see that Zhong Heng seemed to be in a very heavy mood.

Zhong Heng shook his head, smiled with relief, and said, "Not really, I really like running a restaurant."

He just thought of the words of his parents in his previous life.

After dinner, Ji Yunian went out shopping.

Zhong Heng sat cross-legged on the roof, looking at the starry sky. He took out some low-level herbs and started eating them to heal the injuries in his body. His mind was always observing Ji Yunian.

From the time he traveled through time until now, he has never been as peaceful as he is now.

Just after he came out of his self-proclaimed position, he encountered the opening of the Supreme Tomb and originally wanted to fight for it.

But he didn't expect that the powerful enemy Lu Kong would appear.

He was very proud at that time, thinking that with the Immortal Sutra he could compete with all the geniuses, but that was not the case.

In the abandoned land, he used the Immortal Sutra to sweep away all the geniuses of the world.

From the time he obtained the Immortal Sutra until now, he has always wanted to fight for the supreme throne.

It was not until he met Lu Kong that he discovered that the Immortal Sutra was not invincible.

No one knows better than him how powerful Lu Kong is.

Just looking at those few ancient magic techniques, each one is no less than the True Immortal level.

The Eighteen Beats of Ancient Buddha is the secret technique of the Immortal Monk King, who is the Immortal King.

There is also the Immortal Phoenix Technique, which is one of the Ten Evil Techniques, but the one Lu Kong displayed was incomplete, and it was just the starting move.

But that's also terrifying.

There are also Suzaku, Jinwu and so on.

Where did Lu Kong get these magical skills?

And why is his blood platinum? His blood is red, but it contains the supreme aura.

How many secret techniques does he still have yet to perform?

Zhong Heng couldn't figure it out, he guessed that Lu Kong should be from the fairyland.

Moreover, this era is not far from the chaotic ancient times, although it is no longer possible to ascend.

But what if you are sent to the underworld by a big shot during the great reckoning?
Moreover, Lu Kong’s bright wings are very similar to the secret method of Immortal King Ao Sheng in the ancient times.

Now, Lu Kong Zhan Dao.

And I am still healing.

This made Zhong Heng feel somewhat discouraged.

This Lu Kong is even more like a son of luck than Wang Teng and Ye Fan.

"Forget it. Why think so much?" Zhong Heng shook his head.

Losing to Lu Kong just once is nothing.

The Emperor Luangu was defeated in every battle, but eventually he became the Supreme Emperor.

And it was just once.

Even if it happens ten times or a hundred times, his mentality will never allow him to admit defeat.

In the following time, Zhong Heng did not think about these things anymore, but focused on repairing his injuries and went to the wilderness to hunt.

He used the money he earned to open a restaurant.

That hotel is called the No Disaster Hotel.

On weekdays, he would go to the mountains to try various herbs and wild vegetables, and look for some seasonings.

He gave up the idea of ​​fighting and seemed to be wholeheartedly focusing on running his own restaurant in this remote place.

A year later, Zhong Heng's restaurant became extremely popular, with people coming in an endless stream every day.

As the restaurant expanded, he taught thirteen apprentices his cooking skills.

When Ji Yunian saw Zhong Heng like this, a sad expression appeared on his face.

She saw that Zhong Heng seldom repaired his injuries, but instead cooked every day or went out to see the scenery.

Zhong Heng seemed to have lost his fighting spirit.

That day, while eating, Ji Yunian asked, "After you recover from your injury, have you thought about how to enter the third level of the immortal realm? Also, I see that you have liked this kind of life recently. Don't you want to compete with those people for the top position in the world?"

Zhong Heng was stunned when he heard this, and said, "We'll talk about these things after your injury heals."

"Fight, I must fight with that guy to see who's better."
