I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 68 Lung Fox

Another gain from the cosmological deduction was that Uchiha Yu determined the advancement stages of the Foundation Establishment stage, as well as the cultivation methods for achieving each stage.

But at this moment, Uchiha Yu was already feeling extremely tired. He was even unwilling to recall the details of the training method, which was a sign that his mental energy was nearing exhaustion.

Uchiha Yu knew that he needed rest, he needed real sleep.

So he stopped thinking deeply, regained his five senses, and immediately felt the difference on his cheek.

Who's licking me?

It can only be Masayo Miwa, hehe, so proactive...

Stimulated by this, Uchiha Yu's spirits lifted slightly. He barely opened his eyes, looked at the tabby cat on his shoulder, and asked softly, "Rika-chan, your initiative is quite unexpected."

Masayo Miwa finally received a response, and his mood suddenly relaxed. He blurted out, "I thought you were dead. You scared me to death!"

"I almost died, and I'm not much better now. I need your help."

"What do you need me to do, meow?"

"I need a kiss with pear blossom jam, or even better, a catgirl kiss..."

The tabby cat was furious. It meowed and swung its claws nine times in a second, hitting Uchiha Yu hard in the face.

This was both a way for her to vent her panic and a way to cover up her shyness and embarrassment.

Damn it.

How dare he make fun of me?

[Damn it, when did I accept the name Pear Blossom?]

In short, that damn pet owner needs to be... taught a lesson he deserves, his face should be slapped raw!!

The playful banter between the two Daoist partners didn't last long, because Uchiha Yu was truly exhausted and soon fell into complete stillness.

Even if Miwa Masayo was angry, he couldn't take it out on the sleeping Uchiha Yuu. The key was that without a response, there was no satisfying feeling.

So, the tabby cat decided that when its human woke up, it would give him a beating, even worse than scratching his face!

……

Uchiha Yu slept for two whole days before waking up feeling refreshed.

Masashi Miwa had waited so long that she had processed all her negative emotions and no longer had the urge to scold her pet owner. She easily convinced herself with a reason.

Exchanging insights on progress in the path of immortality is more important than venting one's emotions; this is a quality every aspiring immortal must possess.

Of course, this was just a concept that Uchiha Yu had just begun to spread, and only Miwa Masayo accepted this idea.

There is no such ideological system based on Taoist philosophy in the ninja world. Ninjas and immortals alike only practice pure pragmatism.

Pragmatism is good; only pragmatism can keep us grounded and solve the most practical problems.

However, excessive and purely pragmatic approach is not good. It leads to pursuing short-term gains without considering any long-term benefits, and is more likely to fall into a vicious cycle of self-destruction than idealism.

When pragmatism is taken to its extreme, it is very easy to become dogmatic, which will then lead to a predicament from which one cannot extricate oneself, and there is no possibility of breaking free.

The Sage of Six Paths, the Toad Sage, the White Snake Sage, and the Slug Sage all seem to have fallen into their own predicaments. They each seek a way forward, mistakenly taking a certain aspect or thing that they focus on as their own "path".

Only under the guidance of sound philosophical thought can the climbers of the immortal race clearly define their direction, because only with a correct direction can they effectively judge right from wrong. Because there is hope for the future, they can restrain their desires and avoid falling into depravity halfway.

Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo are not remarkable now, but their future is promising and bright. One day, they will leave everyone behind.

Furthermore, the fact that the scratches on Uchiha Yu's face disappeared within seconds after the scratches were all over him was indeed quite frustrating for the cat.

……

The discussion about the Sage Path breakthrough lasted for thirty hours. Uchiha Yu was already feeling a bit listless, and the massive amount of information she received and the intense concentration she put into thinking left Miwa Masayo completely exhausted. Her head was throbbing with pain, and she needed to rest.

and……

"Yu, I'm hungry, meow."

Uchiha Yu stood up with a smile: "Okay, I'll make something to eat."

The two had been here for more than four days, and most of the food had been eaten up, leaving only the huge wild boar as their last remaining ingredient.

Uchiha Yu walked over and looked the wild boar up and down, deciding to use the ribs to make roasted pork chops, a whole rack of roasted pork chops.

Miwa Masayo was already very tired, so time was very tight. There was no time to marinate or slow-roast the pork cutlet, so Uchiha Yu decided to cook it using a special method.

First, boil a lake of water over a flame, then throw the whole pork chop into it to blanch it, removing the blood foam and cooking the pork chop directly.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Yu took out an iron pot and set it up to render pork fat into lard. The pork cracklings were fed to the tabby cat as snacks to keep it awake and prevent it from falling asleep from hunger.

The cooked pork chops are lifted out of the boiling water, pierced with hundreds of small holes by wind blades, coated with Uchiha Yu's secret barbecue sauce, and then deep-fried in oil after being coated with a thick layer of sauce.

The boiling, high-temperature oil evaporates the moisture from the pork chop, and also allows the sauce to penetrate deep into the meat at the fastest speed, making the pork chop firm and elastic.

Uchiha Yu timed it perfectly, lifting the pork chop after most of the moisture had evaporated. He then wrapped the pork chop in Sage Mode fire, and the high-temperature flames instantly dried the surface oil and moisture, fully releasing the pork's aroma and giving it a unique grilled meat flavor.

In less than ten minutes, the fragrant roasted pork cutlet was ready. The tempting aroma aroused Miwa Masayo's appetite and briefly invigorated her, allowing the tabby cat to have a hearty meal before falling asleep.

While Masayo Miwa was enjoying his meal, Yuu Uchiha took the opportunity to enter the mind's eye, wanting to see what the newly formed third heart shape looked like.

The third heart shape has snow-white, soft fur, a fluffy, soft tail, and bright blue eyes. It also makes a sweet sound when it looks at Uchiha Yu.

A childish, babyish voice.

The third heart shape is a white cat, which can be called a civet cat.

Uchiha Yu liked it at first sight, but at the same time felt that something was a little strange about it.

He already owns three Masase in real life, so why does he still have a cat in his heart? That's really...

Very good!

This means you can keep two cats without any restrictions, Red Flag and Colorful Flag, hehe.

Suddenly, Uchiha Yu woke up with a start, realizing that something was wrong.

He shouldn't have fallen in love with it so easily. Even if he liked cats a lot, he shouldn't have accepted it at first sight. This was not a decision that Uchiha Yu should have made.

When the Cat Castle Contract was signed three years ago, Uchiha Yu took a liking to Miwa Masayo at first sight, but he still spent a lot of time with the tabby cat before finally signing the summoning contract.

The first heart-shaped golden monkey and the second heart-shaped Tokyo were both very cute, but Uchiha Yu didn't feel any liking for them because they were manifestations of parts of his own personality, and there was no reason for him to like them particularly.

Uchiha Yu's mind raced, comparing countless pieces of information, and finally he found the answer.

[Feifei! The prototype for the lung fox is actually Feifei!]

[This is a mythical beast recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: Mount Huo is rich in paper mulberry trees, and there is a beast in the mountains that resembles a fox, with a long white tail and a mane, named Feifei.]

[If people care for them, it can relieve their worries.]

[A mythical beast that survived by being cute in the age of mythology—no wonder I fell for it at first sight.]
