The sky is blue and the fields are vast, carrying a sword and roasting an antelope.
In fact, at this time, the ordinary and handsome young man, Ma Hongjun, whose pseudonym was Chongli, did exactly this.
On the wilderness trail, after settling the Chongming Bird in his arms, Ma Hongjun flew aimlessly ahead, and then arrived here.
There is a hill about several hundred meters high. There are trees, shrubs, flowers and grass all over the mountain. Although the highest one is only twenty or thirty meters high, it is still lush and lush, giving it a lively and vibrant scene.
Halfway up the mountainside of Nanshan, there is a shallow cave with a large entrance, like a floor-to-ceiling transparent window, which is very convenient for lighting.
Even if Ma Hongjun expands the cave to be spacious enough, the cave will not look dark and damp.
The eaves on the entrance of the cave extend out by more than half a meter, which can easily soak the cave even on rainy days.
Outside the cave is a steep cliff more than 100 meters high. There are several sycamore trees growing sporadically on the slope next to it. The largest one grows right at the entrance of the cave and is about twenty or thirty centimeters thick.
Directly down the cliff outside the cave, there is a pool about two to three feet in diameter. The water is as clear as a river, reflecting the cliffs and the blue sky next to it.
Ma Hongjun hasn't been there yet and doesn't know how deep the pool is, but judging from the fact that the water is so clear and bottomless, he thinks it shouldn't be shallow at all.
And now, after completing the expansion of the cave, he was roasting a leg of lamb on the platform at the entrance of the cave, holding a sword.
When he left the Star Dou Forest some time ago, Ma Hongjun encountered many spirit beasts that regarded him as prey. Some of them were beaten by him and then released, while others were scared away by the aura released by the Chongming Bird.
And some of them, which seemed to be quite delicious, were stuffed into Ma Hongjun's flame ring after paying special attention to them.
For example, the leg of lamb he is roasting now comes from a thousand-year-old spirit beast that is more than three meters long, has a sheep body, a camel face, sharp horns on top, and four ears.
With a huge body of more than three meters, a leg of lamb weighs at least dozens of kilograms, which is definitely enough for Ma Hongjun and Chongming Bird to have a feast.
Ma Hongjun strung it on the sword transformed by Wuhun. There was no need to light a fire, and a gentle and hot golden-red flame overflowed from the sword and spread to the entire leg of lamb wrapped in oil paper.
He had already taken care of the legs of the four-eared devil antelope, but since there was no tinfoil, he had to use oil paper instead.
But fortunately, the flame of the roasted lamb leg comes from himself, and for a foodie, he has already mastered the control of the heat, so he doesn't have to worry about setting the oil paper on fire.
More than half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Ma Hongjun removed the flame and opened the leg of the four-eared magic antelope wrapped in oil paper.
He put on a new piece of oil paper and burned the old one to ashes. Looking at the roasted lamb leg that was shiny and exuding a strong fragrance, Ma Hongjun swallowed lightly, but still resisted eating it immediately.
Intend.
"Chongli, is dinner ready?"
Smelling the aroma of roasted lamb legs, the Chongming bird in Ma Hongjun's arms cooed and opened its sleepy little eyes.
"Not yet, don't worry, just wait a little longer." As Ma Hongjun said, he took out his hand and pressed back the Chongming Bird that poked its head out of his arms.
Then take out the seasonings prepared previously, spread honey evenly on the lamb leg, sprinkle with magic pepper noodles and cumin powder, wrap it again with oil paper, and continue roasting.
As for the other seasonings, they have already been marinated beforehand, so there is no need to worry about them anymore.
"No, I'm afraid you'll eat my share too."
Chongmingniao didn't want to listen, and forcefully squeezed out of Ma Hongjun's arms, muttering.
Ma Hongjun's mouth twitched and he said angrily, "I'm so unworthy of your trust? How could I eat your share?"
Chongmingniao snorted softly, landed next to Ma Hongjun, turned his body to more than one meter long, turned his head away, and squinted at Ma Hongjun with one eye.
"You do. Last time when my aunt was asleep and you were eating, you didn't even call me."
Ma Hongjun's eyes twitched, and he said helplessly, "Okay, just watch, this leg of lamb will be ready to eat in five or six minutes."
"..."
Five or six minutes later, as Ma Hongjun opened the oil paper, a strong fragrance, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants, suddenly spread in all directions, making the Chongming bird want to pounce directly on it.
As the journey progressed during this period, Ma Hongjun changed the taste of the auspicious birds that originally fed on nectar, jade dew, and exotic flowers and plants.
Ma Hongjun took out two large bowls, transformed the Ultimate Yin Yang Fire Phoenix into the size of an ordinary dagger, and began to cut the roasted meat from the legs of the four-eared magic antelope for the Chongming Bird.
"Hey, your martial spirit can also become bigger and smaller?" Chongmingniao said in surprise, his eyes were attracted by the fiery red dagger in Ma Hongjun's hand.
"Well, certain parts of the body of some soul beasts can become larger or smaller, or longer or shorter. I can collect such runes contained in these soul beasts and engrave them on my natal soul weapon, the mausoleum sword.
to give it the ability to grow larger and smaller. Although the Lingguang Sword is now fused with my martial spirit, this ability is still inherited by the martial spirit."
Ma Hongjun explained casually, cut the roasted lamb leg into strips for Chongming Bird, took out a large bottle of Feizhai Happy Water, and poured a full bowl into its other bowl.
There is Fat House Happy Water in this world, and I don’t know who invented it, but every time Ma Hongjun drinks Happy Water, he sincerely thanks the inventor.
When eating barbecue, either have wine or water, preferably both, that is the real perfection.
Chongmingniao thought thoughtfully, nodded and said, "So you engraved these runes just to facilitate your daily use of cutting and eating?"
Ma Hongjun's hand holding the roasted lamb leg shook slightly, and he changed the topic and said, "Chongming, do you want to take the Phoenix bloodline in you to a further level?"
"I think about it, but how difficult is it? So don't think about it. It's good to be like this now. I have food to eat and drink to drink. I can sleep well if I have nothing to do. I can also practice the exercises you gave me. My aunt thinks this is quite good.
Okay." Chongmingniao said matter-of-factly.
Ma Hongjun paused and said solemnly, "If you want to take the Phoenix bloodline further, I can help you."
"How can I help?" Chongmingniao said casually, without taking it to heart. He skillfully picked up a piece of meat in the bowl and swallowed it.
"With my blood, my blood."
Before Ma Hongjun could finish speaking, Chongmingniao flatly refused, "No, if that's the case, my aunt would rather not improve her Phoenix bloodline."
"No, please listen to my explanation, my blood." Ma Hongjun said.
"If you don't listen, don't listen, just recite Sutra."
"If you don't listen, you won't listen."
"Chirp!"
Chong Mingniao interrupted Ma Hongjun again, shook his head like a rattle, and began to work hard as he spoke.
"Don't peel it. If you peel it again, you won't be able to eat anything from now on. Listen to me honestly."
Ma Hongjun stopped Chongmingniao and told Chongmingniao about the effects of his blood. This was a question he had been thinking about along the way.
Chongmingniao treated him with sincerity and presented him with the Chongming soul bone of the year 99999. He also risked being eaten by other soul beasts and discovered by human soul masters, and came to the martial arts soul.
The city rescued him and provided him with ten thousand years of fire chalcedony that was comparable to fairy grass and top elixirs.
And what he gave Chongmingniao was just a very universal technique suitable for the cultivation of all soul beasts, as well as a name and care.
Ma Hongjun felt that this was not enough. Through thinking along the way, he understood that the Chongming Bird could absolutely be trusted, even if it was just an auspicious bird.
A look of astonishment flashed through Chong Ming Bird's phoenix eyes. It was obvious that Ma Hongjun's blood had special effects, which it had not expected.
"In the ancient times, we, the Chongming Bird Clan, were the guardians of you humans. We helped you humans fight against ferocious birds and beasts, get rid of evil spirits, and never cannibalized humans. As an auspicious spiritual bird of heaven and earth, how can I drink your blood?
If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.”
"Chong Li, if you really want to do that, it's equivalent to insulting me. I hope you won't say it again."
The Chongming Bird not only refused, but also scolded Ma Hongjun, and then slowly began to enjoy the roasted lamb leg in its bowl.
"Okay, actually I don't intend to let you drink it."
"Huh? Are you kidding me?"
"No, no. My original plan was to let you absorb a little bit at a time without causing any harm to me, and take your time. This will not only have no impact on me, but also allow you to transform little by little.
.But since you don’t want to, then forget it.”
Ma Hongjun shrugged as he said this and stopped caring. He grabbed the remaining roasted leg of lamb and started to devour it.
"Is your blood really that powerful?"
The Chongming Bird was suspicious, but if it actually sucked Ma Hongjun's blood, just like those evil beasts it would eradicate or expel whenever it saw it, such as the red dragonfly, the human-faced devil spider, etc., then of course it would not agree.
But if, like Ma Hongjun said, you taste a little bit each time, it doesn’t think it’s unacceptable.
Chong Mingniao muttered in his heart, "You bastard, you damn boy, you bad boy, why didn't you tell me earlier? If my aunt doesn't want to, don't you know how to coax her? Didn't you see that I just refused on the surface?"
"I really didn't see it."
Of course, Ma Hongjun didn't know Chongmingniao's inner story.
Ma Hongjun used his strong and good teeth to tear off a large piece of barbecue, chewed it and swallowed it. Then he picked up the Feizhai Happy Water next to him and took a big gulp before speaking slowly.
"I started to awaken my martial soul when I was six years old. Because of some problems with my martial soul, I began to exercise my body through extreme exercises and strengthen my body. It was not until I was thirteen that I completely solved the problem of my martial soul."
"During this period, except for the period when my uncle gave us devil training, for the remaining more than 4,600 days and nights, I almost never used medicinal baths or other means to nourish and condition my body. It all depended on me.
What do you think is the effect of this precious blood?"
"My uncle, because of my precious blood, was able to break the bottleneck that restricted him for half his life. My three brothers, because of my precious blood, were able to break the bottleneck that restricted him for half his life."
"Although there are reasons why they have accumulated enough, the role of my precious blood cannot be ignored. What do you think the effect is?"
"Bata!"
The Chongming Bird was dumbfounded when he heard this. The piece of roast meat he had picked up from the bowl and had not yet swallowed fell directly back into the bowl.
"Chongming, do you want to try it?" Ma Hongjun said with a smile.
He believed that even the ancient auspicious beasts were not immune to the true fragrance. After all, he had previously expanded the recipe for the Chongming Bird, which was the best proof.
Chongming Niao was heartbroken and simply said, "Just give it a try, but I agree first, just a little bit."
"Um!"
Ma Hongjun hummed slightly and muttered, "Just a little bit will be fine."
"Chongli, what did you say?" Chongmingniao asked, tilting his head.
Ma Hongjun shook his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then I will give you three hundred milliliters a month until your bloodline changes. Well, it's probably this much. It's just a little bit a day and it won't affect me. What do you think?"
"
Seeing the size of Ma Hongjun's gestures, Chongmingniao felt relieved and nodded, "Okay, let's try it first."
On the other side, Oscar and Ning Rongrong also saw the letter that Ma Hongjun handed over to Zhao Wuji through Baihe, and Zhao Wuki handed it over to them through the Qibao Glazed Sect store in Tiandou City.
"Yuanhuang, Rongrong, when you read the letter, I will probably have gone to the mainland to make a living, so don't worry about me anymore. Oh, by the way, if you are free, you can go back to the academy to see your godfather
, he can answer the doubts in your hearts."
"...Finally, I hope your cultivation will advance rapidly and make great strides with each passing day, so that Brother Jun can drink your wedding wine as soon as possible, haha..."
"Your dear handsome man, Ma Hongjun."
