Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 187 Delicious Food. (Third Update!)

Forget-Worry Inn, dormitory-style rooms.

boom.

The door closed again.

Seeing that Zheng Que had indeed left alone, one of the cultivators in the guest room, dressed in a gray-brown robe, immediately said, "This kid, the situation is unclear right now. Going out rashly is simply courting death!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhi shook his head and replied with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ji Kuisheng is unaware of this. It's not his fault. This kid's ghost servant is of exceptionally high quality. Although his aura is only at the sixth level of the [Tongue-Pulling Prison], his true strength is even stronger than mine, who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining."

“A cultivator who practices the art of ‘ghost control’ would be anxious if he lost such a precious ghost servant, no matter who it was.”

Shi Shaoshan then said, "That ghost servant should be Zheng Que's trump card."

"Unfortunately, with so many rooms at the Forget-Worry Inn, it's practically impossible for them to find their ghost servants."

“The other guest rooms don’t only contain our lost ghost servants.”

"If you knock on the wrong door, you might not even know how you died!"

"When I last entered this inn, some of my people were reluctant to part with their capable ghost servants and insisted on going out to search. However, none of those who went out returned alive!"

The other cultivators in the room nodded slightly as they listened.

They only need to stay here for five hours to leave smoothly, so they naturally don't plan to go out and take any risks.

As she was thinking this, the tall and agile female cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining suddenly asked, "Then tell me, why is this guest room only safe for the time being?"

"Will something unexpected happen around the five-hour mark?"

The female cultivator in the apricot-yellow dress immediately replied, "I don't know the specific reason either. It's probably because I've been staying in the guest room for almost five hours, and then..."

Before she could finish speaking, the tightly closed door suddenly opened, and a huge hand reached in from outside!

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the giant hand, all the cultivators' expressions changed. Before they could react, the giant hand had already reached out to grab the goatee-bearded cultivator closest to the door.

The goatee-bearded monk hurriedly dodged to the side, but the giant hand grazed past his body and immediately changed its target, grabbing at another monk in a stone-green robe.

Without saying a word, the cultivator in the ochre robe quickly threw out a stack of talismans at the giant hand.

Boom boom boom...

A series of loud bangs suddenly echoed in the quiet guest room. However, the numerous talismans struck the giant hand without any effect. The giant hand did not pause at all, nor did it hesitate in speed.

Just as the giant hand was about to grab him, a trickle of blood suddenly spilled from the corner of the cultivator's mouth. At the critical moment, he activated some kind of secret technique, and his whole body leaped away from the spot like an arrow released from a bow, suddenly appearing in another direction.

But at the last second, they managed to dodge the giant hand's grasp.

The next moment, the giant hand reached out to grab a female cultivator who looked like an old woman not far away.

Chaos erupted in the room. The eleven cultivators who had been talking together scattered like birds and beasts, dodging and weaving throughout the guest room, occasionally unleashing their various trump cards.

Ping Pong Pong...

The attacks rained down like a storm, striking the giant hand, only to dissipate without a trace, having no effect whatsoever. Finally, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining was a step too slow and was grabbed by the giant hand.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining let out a violent scream and was dragged out of the room by the giant hand with great resentment.

The ten remaining cultivators in the room had just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining being dragged into the corridor, then lifted high and slammed down hard. His whole body convulsed violently, then he fell straight to the ground and did not get up again.

Immediately afterwards, the giant hand didn't close the door, but began to disembowel, remove internal organs, skin, and pull out tendons from the Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator right there in the corridor...

"Ahhh!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

This Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator had already been knocked unconscious, but the intense pain jolted him awake. Veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes were wide open and bulging, and he convulsed, letting out increasingly shrill screams, yet he was completely unable to move.

The ten cultivators inside the room stared blankly at the scene, their faces pale, but none of them dared to step forward to save the person, or even go over to close the door.

Gradually, the thick stench of blood dissipated, and the cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining lost all breath and collapsed limply.

At this moment, the corridor was a mess, with colorful entrails piled up randomly beside the corpses, and the human skin cut in several places. Several tendons that were still dripping blood were pulled out and thrown into the sewage of entrails.

The Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator's life force had completely dissipated, but his bloodshot eyes were still fixed on the people in the room.

Forget-Worry Inn, lobby, private seating.

Miao Xirong and Zuo Baozhi sat facing each other. In front of them, a burly man with his head wrapped in black cloth skillfully cleaned and prepared the fish. After tidying up his things, he turned and headed towards the kitchen.

The next moment, the sizzling sound of hot oil came from the stove, accompanied by the unique aroma of scallions, ginger, and garlic.

Not long after, the burly man returned to the private room carrying a bowl of steamed fish.

In the narrow, black ceramic fish basin, lay a white steamed fish, sprinkled with shredded ginger and scallion leaves, the contrast of green and white making it exceptionally tempting.

The hot oil, mixed with the fresh fish and imbued with a rich spiritual energy, entered the noses of Miao Xirong and Zuo Baozhi.

The two of them involuntarily started drooling rapidly, seemingly having completely forgotten where they were, and began to eat without the slightest hesitation.

The tender, white fish meat bursts with unprecedented freshness the moment it enters your mouth.

Miao Xirong and Zuo Baozhi were both completely absorbed in the food, and their chopsticks moved even faster. As the delicious food entered their stomachs, they felt their cultivation levels increasing rapidly, and the white mist in their dantian rippled, seemingly indicating a breakthrough.

At the same time, the yin energy within their bodies was also rising steadily.

Unbeknownst to them, Miao Xirong and Zuo Baozhi's appearances began to subtly change: Miao Xirong had just swallowed a plump fish eye when a crack appeared on her cheek, from which an eyeball rolled out, looking around curiously; Zuo Baozhi picked up a piece of fish belly meat with fins attached and stuffed it into his mouth, and an arm sprouted from his ribs like a blade of grass breaking through the soil...

Before long, Miao Xirong's face developed four eyes and two mouths; Zuo Baozhi, on the other hand, gained an extra hand and a foot.

Just then, a figure in a pink dress and colorful skirt quickly descended the stairs. She was beautiful and had deep bruises on her neck. It was Niannu!
