Chapter 28: Chapter 27 Breakthrough in Hundred Fragrance Buildingi
Translator: 549690339
The royal family and the Meng Family have a close relationship, often linked by marriage.
Geniuses from the Meng Family continually emerge. Just when the world believes that the Meng Family’s foundation has been exhausted and its descendants lack the strength to uphold the family’s reputation, a genius springs into existence, lifting the heavy responsibility of the Meng Family and continuing its immortal legend.
Therefore, it is rumored that the Meng Family has tied its luck to the fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty. As long as the Great Xia Dynasty exists, the Meng Family will not perish.
“It’s not that exaggerated.” Meng Jingzhou laughed heartily and said modestly, “I didn’t expect you to guess that I am the emerging genius of the Meng Family.”
“… No, we don’t think you’re a genius.” What Lu Yang said was true. If a whimsical person like Meng Jingzhou were to shoulder the burden of the Meng Family, the family’s legends would likely come to an end.
If we’re talking about geniuses, Lu Yang, the future leader of the Seek Dao Sect, is far more deserving of the title.
The two complimented themselves and belittled each other, completely forgetting Tao Yaoye who had the Feather Transformation Immortal Body, a talent that surpassed both the Single Body Spiritual Root and the Sword Spirit Root.
Luckily, they didn’t dwell on this topic for long. An immense wave of untamed energy spread upward from the lower floors of the building, shaking the entire Hundred Fragrance Building.
If the Hundred Fragrance Building wasn’t so sturdy, this wave of energy would have been enough to flatten a row of houses!
Lu Yang and his two companions felt as if their heads had been struck with a heavy hammer. Their minds went blank and their internal organs felt as if they were being squeezed by a colossal hand. The discomfort was unbearable.
The cultivation levels of the people around them were higher than Lu Yang and his two friends. Some were even at the Golden Core Stage, so they were feeling a bit better, but not by much.
“Is this… someone breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage?!” A senior sister at the Nascent Soul Stage was unaffected. She let out a small cry of surprise, sensing a trace of the untamed energy in the wave of energy.
The dishes at the Hundred Fragrance Building are not just delightful in taste. A simple dish can enhance cultivation levels, or spur your techniques to circulate several cycles naturally. If reasonably assorted, the food can stimulate each other’s effects, leading to even greater results.
“I heard that during a meal at the Hundred Fragrance Building, one could break through a major realm. I thought it was just a rumor, but it seems to be true!
“I just wonder which lucky junior brother or sister was able to break through here.”
Usually, when people break through, they isolate themselves and protect their law. They seek tranquility, and the bustling atmosphere in the Hundred Fragrance Building, filled with distractions, is unfavorable for breakthroughs.
Breaking through in this kind of environment shows just how much the food in the Hundred Fragrance Building can help in elevating one’s cultivation level!
The waiter gently pushed it away, and the pressure of the Nascent Soul Stage immediately disappeared. People were catching their breath and then looked at the waiter in surprise.
In their eyes, the waiter was only at the Golden Core Stage, but the ability he just demonstrated obviously went beyond the Golden Core Stage.
The waiter’s cultivation level was a disguise.
Someone whispered to his companion, “Speaking of which, I heard from an elder that when the Hundred Fragrance Building first opened a thousand years ago, he was already a waiter here. A thousand years have passed, and he’s still a waiter here, and his appearance hasn’t changed a bit.”
It’s normal for cultivators not to change in appearance, but being unchanged for a thousand years is very rare.
The waiter seemed to not hear the whispers and apologized with a look on his face: “I’m sorry, but there might’ve been a customer who was too excited during their breakthrough and forgot to restrain their momentum. Please understand.”
A senior brother who had just entered the Golden Core Stage savored the residual air of the breakthrough and brightened up. “This breath reveals a trace of wildness. It’s as if the ancient dragon race has reappeared. I’m sure it was a body cultivating senior brother who broke through. We should hurry and comprehend this breath; it could be very helpful in improving our physical bodies!”
“Absolutely, this rare opportunity is a blessing for us. We should seize it.” His companions agreed and started meditating together.
Five people were sitting in the Five Centers Toward Heaven position. They slightly floated in the air, didn’t say a word, and felt very comfortable with the cool air flowing from all directions.
Even if they were not body cultivators, cultivators valued the physical body very much. When the magical power is sufficient but the body can’t keep up, it’s easy to be attacked and killed in one blow or be killed instantly by losing the chance of entanglement and feather when confronting close combat.
Therefore, the Seek Dao Sect put great emphasis on the physical fitness of disciples.
In the ranks of demon beasts, the ancient dragon race was known for controlling the wind and rain with their profound divine abilities and their unparalleled physical self. They were one of the top clans, ruling over the Demon Territory. If even a bit of ancient dragon aura could be comprehended, it would greatly benefit the physical body, and if one could comprehend some divine abilities of the dragon race and use them as his own, it would be an extremely desirable opportunity!
It was an unusual sight to see five Golden Core cultivators sitting in meditation around hot dishes instead of eating.
This sensitivity to opportunities made Lu Yang very impressed.
“Should we try to comprehend it too?” Tao Yaoye proposed.
Lu Yang was surprised, “Can you sense the ancient dragon aura that our senior brothers are talking about?”
“There’s no harm in trying.”
Just as Lu Yang and his two friends were considering whether to also meditate and comprehend this ancient dragon aura, the sound of hurried ascension came from the staircase.
A green-skinned wild boar with tusks appeared, its eyes filled with panic and rage, giving off an intense sense of danger.
What a vicious and terrifying demon race! Its realm surpassed most of the people present!
Furthermore, the wild boar’s breath was unstable, as if it had just broken through!
The waiter frowned, a small vortex rising in his hand. Just as he was considering whether to step in, a radiant knife light emerged. The sharp knife light was like silk thread, bringing with it an intense aura. With one slash, the wild boar was beheaded, its head tumbling far away to land at Lu Yang’s feet.
The boar’s head stared at Lu Yang, its eyes refusing to close in death.
The scene that should have been bloody didn’t contain a drop of blood. The incredibly hot knife aura instantly cooked the part of the boar that had been beheaded, releasing a tantalizing aroma of roasted meat.
It’s only now that the owner of the knife appeared on the scene – a chef that can be seen anywhere. He was wearing a tall hat and a specially designed work apron, holding a butcher’s knife, his face lined with wrinkles. When he laughed, he looked like a ruthless bandit who was about to rob a ticket.
“My apologies for startling everyone. I was about to slaughter this Dragon Descendant Wild Boar. Probably due to my strong killing intent, the creature sensed a life-and-death crisis and activated the trace of ancient dragon blood within it, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.”
“This was our restaurant’s mistake, it will not happen again next time. Please forgive us!”
With a smirk on his face, the chef held his butcher’s knife sincerely. Everyone had no choice but to forgive him even if they didn’t want to.
The chef picked up the boar’s head from Lu Yang’s feet and dragged the body away, which eased the pressure everyone was sensing.
Five junior brothers at the Golden Core stage felt somewhat awkward. They were unsure whether to continue their meditation and comprehension attempts.
One of them slam his hand on the table, “Damn it, give us a pot of Boar-Kill dish, made with just that boar!”
The price for Nascent Soul Stage pork is outrageous, let alone a wild boar with the bloodline of the ancient dragon race. Eating this dish could cost them so much that they would deserve a slap when they wake up.
Even if they deserve a slap, they have to eat it. They are determined today. If they don’t eat this Nascent Soul Stage wild boar, their urge wouldn’t be settled and it could even cause internal injuries caused by holding back their anger.
The waiter rested the towel on his shoulder, put on a smile, and shouted, “Got it! Five more Boar-Kill dishes for our customers!”
