Chapter 16 Heavenly Merit! Houtu's appetite was whetted!

On the stone peak.

"It seems that the human race may soon begin to show its true colors!"

Houtu witnessed Lu Yun go from almost being eaten to now turning the tables and killing all the demonic beasts that tried to eat him, and she felt quite satisfied.

At the same time, she also saw from Lu Yun that the human race possessed considerable potential.

In particular, she felt that if the Xingyi Quan, which Lu Yun practiced, were popularized among humans, life would not be so difficult in the future.

Of course, that's all.

At least, Houtu did not believe that the human race posed any threat to the witch race.

Now that the show is over, she's naturally ready to leave.

But just as she was about to leave, suddenly—

"Hmm? What's that smell?"

Houtu suddenly stopped in her tracks, her nose twitched slightly, and her gaze quickly returned to Lu Yun.

She discovered that the fragrance she had never smelled before was actually coming from Lu Yun's direction.

It turned out that Lu Yun had already prepared the wild boar and started roasting it.

Coincidentally, while searching for firewood, he discovered a few chili peppers and a few black peppers, which he promptly used as seasonings.

Now he's turning the branch skewering the meat while sprinkling seasoning on it.

As a result, a rich aroma of roasted meat wafted through the air.

The fragrance travels for miles!

And that's how he caught Houtu's attention once again!

"Meat can be eaten like this? It looks like he added some kind of weed seed powder he found nearby?"

"How come the meat smells so good after adding those ingredients?"

Houtu never imagined that monster meat could smell so good.

Even as a dignified ancestral witch, she was somewhat reluctant to leave for a moment.

Or, I could go over there and ask that human for a piece of meat to eat, and then ask him how he made it smell so good.

This idea began to take root in Houtu's mind.

Of course, she wouldn't take Lu Yun's food and cooking methods for nothing; instead, she planned to exchange them with Lu Yun.

Just like the human race near her ancestral home in Houtu, they would also help the witch race with certain tasks in exchange for ingredients that the witch race didn't want.

Previously, it was the humans and the witches who traded ingredients, but now that she, a witch, had to go to the humans to trade ingredients, she was at a loss as to what to exchange with Lu Yun.

Just as Houtu was struggling with this decision, a change suddenly occurred that she didn't expect!

"Buzz!"

A golden cloud appeared out of nowhere in the clear blue sky.

Seeing this, Houtu was completely dumbfounded.

Because this suddenly appearing golden cloud is none other than the famous Golden Cloud of Merit from the primordial world!

Although the Wu tribe does not cultivate Heavenly Merit, Houtu has still seen others obtain Heavenly Merit.

For example, when Nuwa molded humans from clay, she received immeasurable merit from Heaven, which enabled her to attain sainthood!

Houtu knew that countless cultivators in the primordial world were desperately seeking the merits of the Heavenly Dao, but had never been able to obtain them.

She really didn't understand why golden clouds of merit would suddenly appear here.

Looking left and right, she suddenly realized that the area covered by the golden clouds of merit was right above Lu Yun.

This surprised Houtu, and suddenly a thought struck her: "Could it be that this way of cooking food used by the human race was his invention, and therefore Heaven has specially rewarded him with merit?"

As if to confirm her conjecture, at that very moment, the golden clouds of merit descended from the sky!

The golden clouds transformed into two beams of golden light. One beam entered Lu Yun's body, while the other landed on the barbecue grill that Lu Yun had just casually made using nearby materials!

"It really is because of this!"

Houtu's eyes widened in surprise, and she suddenly felt even more hungry.

This is food that even Heaven recognizes and bestows upon us as a reward for merit. How delicious must it be?

While she was craving more, Lu Yun was completely dumbfounded.

Because the moment the golden light of merit entered his body, he already knew that what he had just received was a heavenly merit, and the reason for the reward was that he had created a completely new way of cooking food!

This information had a tremendous impact on him!

Because he suddenly realized what kind of world he was in.

This is the primordial world!

Aren't Heavenly Merits just a very common Heavenly Reward in the primordial world?

Moreover, he only roasted a wild boar, yet he was able to attract heavenly merits, which means that the era he is currently in is still the ancient primordial era!

Otherwise, such a merit reward would have been obtained by someone else long ago!

Although Lu Yun had anticipated that he was in a relatively advanced world, he never expected that the world would be this advanced!

Thinking of the terror and danger of the prehistoric world, he suddenly felt that the fragrant roasted meat in front of him was no longer so appealing.

He had just thought he had obtained a cultivation technique that would allow him to become an immortal, and that everything would be fine from now on. He never expected that he would find himself in the ancient primordial era!

This is a terrifying world where Great Saints are as common as dogs and Quasi-Saints are everywhere!

But unfortunately, he is now also burdened with the aura of divine retribution.

Lu Yun was very worried that he might be struck dead by a divine lightning bolt that would fall from the sky.

Just as Lu Yun was feeling anxious and uneasy, suddenly—

"Human, your flesh is about to burn!"

A pleasant voice suddenly entered Lu Yun's ears.

Lu Yun was jolted awake and looked sharply in the direction from which the sound came. He saw a beautiful woman who had appeared not far from him at some point.

For a moment, Lu Yun was somewhat lost in thought.

Because this woman's appearance was so outstanding, and she exuded a kind of holy and compassionate aura. Even Lu Yun, who had seen many internet celebrities and stars in his previous life, had never seen such a beautiful woman.

This woman was none other than Houtu.

She was just wondering how to get the barbecue when she noticed that Lu Yun had frozen in place after the golden light of merit descended, to the point that the meat he was grilling was almost burned.

Houtu couldn't bear to see the ingredients wasted, so she activated the Great Law of Earth and instantly arrived near Lu Yun from the top of the stone peak, issuing a warning to him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yun continued to stare blankly after seeing her.

Houtu didn't know what was wrong with Lu Yun either. She immediately went up and snatched the roasted meat from Lu Yun's hand and took it off the fire.

Upon closer inspection, she found that it wasn't burned, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yun was also awakened by her movements.

Suddenly, Lu Yun recalled what the other party had said when she first appeared; she had actually referred to him as a human!

So, she's not human?

Could it be a monster that has taken human form?!

Lu Yun suddenly became a little nervous.

After all, a monster that can transform into human form should be very powerful!

Lu Yun grew increasingly nervous and couldn't help but ask, "You wouldn't happen to be... that wild boar demon, would you?!"
