Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 13 Promotion【4K】

The kitchen is located close to the top of the mountain.

After all, serving the king on the top of the mountain well is the most important thing.

Jindou Mountain provides two meals a day for the little demons below, one breakfast and one dinner.

The time for breakfast is usually around 9:00 to 11:00.

However, breakfast time has always been unstable.

The monster in the kitchen gets up early, so breakfast should be served early;
If you get up late, then you will be served later. Sometimes you don’t have to wait until noon to eat, and the little demons who go early have to wait.

Anyway, the kitchen is under the direct management of the king, and the monsters in it have high status and bad tempers.

The time for dinner is around the afternoon, which is between three and five o'clock.

Dinner time is usually quite punctual.

Because you don’t have to get up early.

The food supplied in the kitchen is basically meat, and sometimes there are some unknown green leafy vegetables, but the supply is limited.

As for the taste.
Just look at the huge wooden barrel in front of you. In the yellowish-brown turbid soup, there are huge pieces of meat, bloody bones, bits of boiled green wild vegetables, and some small embellishments such as sawdust, flies, and small insects floating on it, and you will know what it tastes like.

I looked at several large barrels in a row and found that the food inside them was all the same.

Qi Hu had no choice but to retreat.

He could accept some small ants in the wine, but he couldn't accept eating the food in front of him.

Because the appearance and color of this food were not much different from the swill he had seen in his previous life.

Today marks a week since he arrived at Jindou Mountain.

First time eating in the kitchen.

Although he had the original owner's memories in his mind, he still wanted to come and take a look.

The result was indeed not what we expected.

However, because of the mountain patrol mission, he and his two brothers could privately hunt and kill ordinary beasts in the mountains and forests to fill their stomachs.

Now that his mission was accomplished, if he wanted to eat anything else, he would have to cross several mountains and hunt outside the territory.

And you have to be careful, because there is an order on Jindou Mountain that you cannot kill ordinary beasts at will.

This was also during the time when he was patrolling the mountains and drilling wind.

The three Qi Hu brothers could hunt outside their territory, but they dared not bring food back at night because the mountain rules prohibited it.

Of course, as long as no one sees you openly, don't be too obviously arrogant.

Even if you eat secretly, the leader or king above won't care.

But now that I have learned the storage skill "Cheek Pouch", I won't be discovered when I go out to catch beasts and bring them back.

Thinking about this in my mind.

Qi Hu stepped aside and found that his eldest brother Changya and second brother Dajiao had already started eating.

"The food in the kitchen is still the best."

Changya held a bloody bone in one hand and a large bamboo bowl filled with soup in the other, and ate and drank from it with big mouthfuls.

"yes."

Da Jiao, like Chang Ya, ate and said, "The food in the kitchen tastes good." Then he looked up and saw Qi Hu with empty hands and asked, "Third brother, why don't you eat?"

Changya also said: "If you don't eat it now, it will be gone."

Qi Hu naturally knew what his second brother meant by "taste", it was the taste of salt.

Salt is added to the food in the kitchen.

Although the flesh and blood of privately hunted beasts also contain salt, the salt is too scarce and it is difficult to taste it.

Compared with the salt in the kitchen, it is naturally much worse.

It has a salty taste, and it has to travel a long way to catch its own food.

This is also the reason why all the monsters come to the kitchen every day to wait for a certain time.

Hearing what his two brothers said, Qi Hu turned around and looked at the monsters with different heads fighting for food in front of several large wooden barrels. He immediately had a bad association and became more and more resistant. He shook his head and smiled, "I'm not hungry yet."

Although Tusk and Horn eat very quickly.

But when all the food in the several large wooden barrels in the kitchen was eaten, a few little demons jumped into the barrels and licked the barrel walls.

Changya and Dajiao were not full at all, at most they just enjoyed the food.

However, the King of Jindou Mountain obviously knew how big the appetites of the little monsters below were, so he would not let them eat enough. It would be enough to feed them a little every day. They would not starve to death anyway.

“I never feel full.”

Changya put the bamboo bowl in his hand into the food bucket, licked his lips and said with satisfaction: "More is also good."

"Brother, we've finished eating. The bucket has been licked clean."

Da Jiao also put the bamboo bowl into the bucket and said with a smile, "Let's go."

After breakfast.

The three brothers walked down the mountain.

"Where are you going this time?"

"Why don't we go to the south? There is a sacred bamboo forest there. There are many sacred herbs there and they are easier to find."

"There are a lot of spiritual medicines over there, but there are even more little monsters looking for spiritual monsters. The monsters next to us just now said they were going to the south when we were having breakfast."

"Then let's go west. There are fewer monsters there."

"There are fewer monsters going west, but even fewer magical herbs. It's a barren land."

"The south is not a good option, and the west is not a good option either. So where do you want to go?"

Watching Longfang and Bighorn arguing.

Qi Hu suddenly said, "How about we go to the north? I heard that spiritual medicine is easier to find in the north than in the south."

Da Jiao hesitated: "But there are too many fights in the north."

Changya immediately said: "We three brothers are not afraid of fighting, let's go to the north, I am the eldest brother, I have the final say!"

that's it.

The three demons Qi Hu headed towards the mountains to the north of the main mountain of Jindou Mountain.

Time passed slowly.

In a blink of an eye.

Half a day has passed.

evening.

The red sun sets and the sky darkens.

On the small path extending northward from the foot of the main mountain of Jindou Mountain.

Three figures were approaching from afar.

Elephant trunk, deer horns, tiger head and human body.
These three are naturally the three Qi Hu brothers who went to the eastern mountains to look for elixirs.

It's just different from what it looked like when I went there in the morning.

The three brothers were somewhat covered in dust and dirt. There were some scars on Qi Hu's face and on the elephant monster's tusked nose. The deer monster's big head was full of horns, and even one of them was broken.

The three brothers looked somewhat embarrassed.

"I didn't find any elixir, and I even had a fight."

In the Silent Squad, who were not in high spirits, Da Jiao asked, "Are we still going north tomorrow?"

"go with!"

Hearing his second brother's words, Changya's face suddenly became fierce and he said, "Today, the two brothers didn't get anything good!"

"I'll go there tomorrow and beat them again. I don't believe I can't beat them!"

Knowing that he couldn't convince his eldest brother at this moment, Da Jiao turned to look at Qi Hu behind him and asked, "Third brother, what do you think?"

"Let's go north!"

Qi Hu said without hesitation: "I also want to fight with the two leopard monster brothers again!"

Today, the three brothers are heading to the north of Jindou Mountain to look for spiritual medicine. Just as Dajiao said before, there are many spiritual medicines in the northern mountains, but the competition is greater.

Not long after the three brothers arrived in the north, they found a three-year-old elixir.

But unfortunately, the elixir was also coveted by a pair of leopard demon brothers.

Two to three!
The three Qi Hu brothers were not afraid.

However, the two leopard demon brothers were both in the late stage of the Qi Ling realm.

The other party was confident that he had higher cultivation level, so he was naturally not afraid that the three Qi Hu brothers did not even have one who had reached the late stage of cultivation.

So the two sides agreed to have a big fight, and whoever wins will get the elixir.

However, the leopard monster was different from the iron-eating panda monster they had encountered before. It was very fast, and the two brothers, who were born of the same mother, had compatible magical powers and cooperated well with each other, so their strength was quite impressive.

The three Qi Hu brothers suffered a lot.

If it is a fight to the death, the three brothers will not lose.

But they are all monsters from Jindou Mountain. They can fight with each other, but there is no need to kill each other.

Therefore, the side of the three Qi Hu brothers, who were more injured, was considered the loser.

This is almost equivalent to losing in some competitions in previous lives by points.

The aggressive Chang Ya and the unyielding Qi Hu were unwilling to accept this. At this time, the second brother Da Jiao had no choice but to say, "Okay."

When I returned to my residence in Jindou Mountain.

The sky was already pitch black.

Changya and Dajiao followed them to Qihu Cave again.

But this time, the two of them came not to see the elixir, but to prepare to eat.

Although no elixir was found today, Qi Hu's storage magic "cheek pouch" was filled with mortal beasts.

Get wood and make a fire.
The three brothers finally fulfilled their dream of grilling meat in their own cave.

The three brothers ate a delicious meal, and their stomachs were bloated, so they stopped.

Then, Changya and Dajiao each took the corpse of a slightly smaller mortal beast and returned to their respective caves.

All cleaned up.

It was already late at night.

"call"

Sitting down on the leather mattress, Qi Hu let out a long breath.

As usual, I reviewed today's experience and couldn't help but sigh: "This day is really busy."

immediately.

Qi Hu lay down, his mind moving slightly.

Lines of ink writing emitting a pale white glow began to reappear before his eyes.

[Realm: Early stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm (90%)]

【Soul: 0.1】

[Kung Fu: Moon Yin Qi Eating Method (Introduction) (7.1%)]

[Magic Powers: Tiger Roar (Proficient) (0.2%); Bone Tempering (Entry Level) (1.8%); Trampling (Entry Level) (1.3%); Cheek Pouch (Entry Level) (0.2%)]

【.】

Looking at the data that keeps appearing in front of me.

Qi Hu quickly looked at the magical power column, and saw the extra magical power "cheek pouch" at the back, and he understood.

The original owner did have some talent in learning magical powers.

But it is still far worse than what he has now with the panel in front of him.

With the panel, he can basically learn the magical powers of other monsters in one go. He should really learn more magical powers as Bai Tian Da Jiao said.

However, supernatural powers are not easy to learn.

Just like the "cheek pouch" I learned from the big leader during the day, I spent a magical medicine.

If you want to learn the magical powers of other monsters, you naturally need to offer your personal benefits to them.

Moreover, not all supernatural powers can be learned or are suitable for everyone.

Before you study further, you have to find out what suits you.

This is another difficulty, because as long as the monster is not stupid, it will not easily tell other monsters about its magical powers, because many monsters' magical powers are equivalent to their own trump cards.

In short, learning supernatural powers is not easy, you have to take it slowly.

He withdrew his gaze from the magical power column.

Qi Hu looked at the realm bar, and when he saw the 90% experience bar after the initial stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm, he was suddenly happy.

These days, he has roughly calculated some of the efficiencies of his meditation practice.

For example, the experience bar for realm cultivation: every time he concentrates on breathing and meditation for six hours, he can gain a 1% increase in experience points.

By this calculation, he still has 10% of experience points left to advance to the middle stage of the Spirit Awakening Realm, which in terms of cultivation is sixty hours, or two and a half days.

As long as you practice without eating or drinking for two and a half days, you can fill up the experience bar and advance to the middle stage of the Spirit Awakening Realm.

However, this is just a theory calculated by Qi Hu.

After all, he is still far from reaching the stage where he can practice fasting just by absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

He still needs to work, eat, drink, and defecate.

Before, it was because of patrolling the mountains, so I went to bed late and got up early.

Now the mountain patrol and wind drilling work is over.

There will be a month of free time next, and Qi Hu also needs to get up early every day and go looking for elixirs with his elder and second brothers.

After all, the spiritual tax is like a sword hanging over the heads of the little demons.

Once the specified time is up, those who fail to pay the spiritual tax in time will be dragged directly to the kitchen.

Many little demons have tried it.

Of course, even if I search for elixirs during the day and am busy until the early hours of the morning, I will only start practicing.

It won’t be long before he reaches the limit of his realm progress bar.

He doesn't eat breakfast.

In addition to reporting to their leader's cave every five mornings.

The rest of the time you can practice until the Si hour.

From early morning to the hour of Si, it is almost nine hours.

Then he got up and went out with his eldest and second brothers who had just finished breakfast to look for elixirs, and then repeated the process.

This way, it only takes about six days to fill up the experience bar.

Besides, he is not busy until so late every day, so this time may have to be brought forward.

So.

Qi Hu is now full of motivation whether it is his cultivation or his future prospects.

Then look at the Soul column under the Realm column.

Qi Hu now knows clearly that his free attribute point "Soul" comes from killing.

And it’s not possible to kill ordinary animals, only monsters can be killed.

Although he had frequent fights during this period, none of them involved life and death, so he did not gain any souls.

As for how many souls will be given for killing a monster of a certain level.

So far, he only has the head of a fox demon in the late stage of the Spirit Awakening Realm, so he cannot analyze it in detail for the time being.

Then look at the skills column below.

The increase in the experience bar of the "Moon Yin Food Breathing Method" was the same as the increase in the experience bar of realm cultivation, and he roughly calculated both.

That is, he concentrates on meditation and practice for five hours each time.

The "Moon Yin Food Qi Method" can increase some experience points.

However, it was still too early for the Yue Yin Qi Food Method to be promoted to the next level, and Qi Hu didn’t want to bother calculating how long it would take.

However, when the technique advances to the proficient stage like his innate magical power "Tiger Roar", my guess is that his practice speed will also increase accordingly.

Then look at the magical power column below.

Although except for the "Tiger Roar", the changes in other magical powers are very weak.

But there is no way around it. Qi Hu is busy during the day and at night, and has basically no time to gain experience points for various magical powers.

After checking my own data panel.

Qi Hu, who suffered from mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, finally relaxed completely. He turned over and sat up, leaning his back against the stone wall, and began to practice the "Moon Yin Eating Qi Method".

Soon.

A series of light black auras began to emerge and rise from Qi Hu's body.

in this way.

Five days later.

Midnight,

Ugly time.

Sitting cross-legged with his back against the stone wall.

Qi Hu, who was concentrating on practicing breathing exercises, suddenly felt his whole body lighten and relaxed.

this moment.

Even when his mind was immersed in meditation, Qi Hu Lingtai was also clear-headed. He broke through the initial stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm and advanced to the middle stage.

Without interruption.

Qi Hu continued to immerse himself in his practice.

In addition to the number of wisps of light black aura rising around his body, there were also several more.

Nothing else has changed.

Early the next morning.

It was just getting dark.

Qi Hu woke up from his practice on time.

I can't practice until breakfast today because it's time to report to my own Mangutling Cave.
