Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong 243 A Sumptuous Meal

The Blood Energy Vortex Sheng Feilong had created inside his Dantian was working pa.s.sively this whole time, drawing the energy from his blood into itself, growing bigger ever so slowly. Sheng Feilong excused himself at some point as he grew hungry from the constant energy consumption and exited his spiritual consciousness.

In the real world, She Meixiao, Song Weihan, Mu Ye and even Zhen Hua were already standing in the training hall, all of them observing Sheng Feilong; The former two were surprised by the changes to his blood and the energy consumption, but didn't quite understand what was going on.

Zhen Hua knew a bit more about the Body Sect's cultivation techniques than the other two and understood that Sheng Feilong seems to be progressing quite well, though even he wasn't too sure about the details.

Among them, Mu Ye was the only one who didn't voice his thoughts, nor showed any apparent reaction other than staring at Sheng Feilong ever since they entered the training hall. Mu Ye had told them that the Innate Secret Technique was quite hard to cultivate and that he wanted to observe Sheng Feilong to make sure he didn't do anything wrong, so they didn't disturb him.

Yet, none of them noticed that he was staring at Sheng Feilong with a blank expression this whole time; He was thoroughly shocked at how Sheng Feilong was able to already be at the stage in cultivating the Innate Secret Technique where he had formed a complete Blood Energy Vortex.

Usually, the hardest part in cultivating the Innate Secret Technique was drawing ones blood's energy into their Dantian; A process that would take most people weeks, and even that only thanks to a mult.i.tude of Heavenly and Earthy Treasures to aid them, yet Sheng Feilong had done just that in a single afternoon.

Truth be told, the first layer of the Innate Secret Technique didn't describe how one should start cultivating the technique too much; It only gave a vague idea on how it worked, loosely referencing the workings of Soul Cores. That layer was actually only introducing the cultivator to the idea of connecting the energy of their blood to their Dantian, leaving the rest for them to figure out.

Usually, a Master like Mu Ye or someone else who cultivated the technique would be needed to explain how it worked and that the goal was to form a kind of Soul Core from their blood's energy. Mu Ye himself was actually working on improving the technique's first layer to make it more intuitional.

'A single afternoon... Moreover, he figured it all out on his own? How in the world did he do it? Even if he understood the concept, how did he draw the energy into his Dantian just like that. And without any Heavenly and Earthly Treasures at that! This is ridiculous!' Mu Ye's thoughts were spinning as he was trying to come up with a way to somehow explain what he was seeing.

He ignored She Meixiao and the others, only focusing on Sheng Feilong. '...Is it because it's the Three-Eyed Golden Lion bloodline? I've never seen a member of the Body Sect with a mental attributed bloodline, much less anyone at the Spirit Domain Realm trying to create a Blood Core.'

Sheng Feilong opened his eyes while Mu Ye was still thinking about him and was the first to notice Sheng Feilong's awakening. He didn't even bother to greet Sheng Feilong before speaking up in a sharp voice. "How did you connect your bloodline to your Dantian this fast?"

He spoke up without any warning, surprising She Meixiao and the others, who only then noticed that Sheng Feilong had opened his eyes. The latter was taken aback by seeing everyone stand around him and Mu Ye suddenly talking to him, but still replied. "After reading through the booklet, I thought the process sounded similar to how Soul Beasts create their Soul Bones. So I asked the old lion king about it and figured it out."

Mu Ye stared at him for a while before averting his gaze and muttering under his breath. "Like a Soul Bone...?" His brows furrowed for a moment before he nodded at Sheng Feilong, understanding his reasoning.

He looked Sheng Feilong up and down before speaking again, not giving anyone else to b.u.t.t in into the conversation. "You brought the vortex to a level where it continuously absorbs energy?" Sheng Feilong nodded sharply after which Mu Ye turned around and left the training area. "Come to the dining area when you get hungry."

She Meixiao and Song Weihan glanced at each other, not understanding what Mu Ye was on about, but didn't question it. Besides them, Zhen Hua burst out laughing gleefully. "Ha, ha! Little fellow, you're lucky; Mu Ye plans to personally cook something up for you, huh! He's sure to use some of the good stuff! You won't mind this old man accompanying you, would you?"

"Personally cook for me..?" Sheng Feilong was confused by what Zhen Hua was saying and stared at him for a moment, only then realizing who the old man in front of him was. He jumped to his feet and bowed with his hands cupped. "Junior Sheng Feilong greets the Divine Craftsman, Senior Zhen."

"Ha, ha, there's no need for formalities; I owe you a huge debt, after all." Zhen Hua waved his hand, still smiling quite brightly. Sheng Feilong relaxed as he saw his casual att.i.tude, but asked about Mu Ye again, still with a confused expression. "Senior, when did you mean, saying Senior Mu would cook for me...?"

Zhen Hua smiled again, his laughter calming down, though he still chuckled. "Don't you know? Mu Ye is our Douluo Continent's greatest star chef. Though he's also notoriously stingy and always keeps the best stuff for himself; He wouldn't invite you to the dining hall if he didn't plan on cooking himself. You must have impressed him quite a bit."

"I see..." Sheng Feilong replied, quite sceptical as he couldn't imagine Mu Ye standing in a kitchen. She Meixiao and Song Weihan came to his side as well, both of them looking at him calmly, the latter speaking while still scanning Sheng Feilong with his eyes. "How are you doing?"

"There's nothing wrong, Master. I'm just feeling a bit hungry since I've used up quite a bit of energy." Sheng Feilong replied, not going into too much detail as he understood that the Innate Secret Technique wasn't something he should tell anyone about.

Song Weihan nodded his head, accepting the explanation without prying further. "Shall we head to the dining hall, then?" Sheng Feilong and the others agreed with him. On the way there, Sheng Feilong talked a bit more with Zhen Hua, the latter thanking him for his help, obviously in a good mood.

As Zhen Hua had guessed, Mu Ye prepared food for them to consume, though they still had to wait some time until it was ready. Sheng Feilong used the time to talk with Zhen Hua for a while longer, eventually coming to talk about Battle Armour and Mechas.

She Meixiao and Song Weihan mostly kept out of the discussion, leaving Sheng Feilong to tie his own connections. Though, the whole time, Sheng Feilong refrained from asking anything about Four Word Battle Armour; Their discussion was kept on a completely casual level.

Later, Mu Ye brought the food over, serving them one top cla.s.s dish after the other, always just introducing it with a few words, as well as naming one or two main ingredients. She Meixiao's and Song Weihan's eyes widened when they heard what Mu Ye was serving them every time, while Zhen Hua smiled more and more.

After serving them desert, Mu Ye sat down on the table with them, initiating a conversation with Sheng Feilong again. "Did that old lion tell you anything else? Just because the Innate Secret Technique's similar to creating a Soul Bone, you managed to create a perfect Blood Energy Vortex in a few hours?"
