79: Ice Scale Crocodile Meat

All Spirit Talismans were made by Chen Jiancang.

In the Market, Spirit Talismans have always been expensive, but for Chen Jiancang, the spiritual energy consumed to draw a First Order High Grade Spirit Talisman was equivalent to just one Qinghe Qi Cultivation Pill, truly not worth mentioning.

Looking at the Ice Scale Crocodile's corpse, it was worth at most three or four hundred spiritual stones.

Moreover, this Ice Scale Crocodile was huge, and most of its flesh and blood couldn't be taken away, so its value was greatly reduced.

Having just experienced an extremely intense battle, everyone was greatly exhausted.

Chen Jiancang knew clearly that there was really no need to take the Ice Scale Crocodile Materials, worth only two or three hundred spiritual stones, as his own share of the common spoils.

"This..."

Seeing Chen Jiancang's extremely firm attitude, showing no intention of taking anything, Chen Jianyue could only respond with a smile, "Jiancang Pill Master, we shall respectfully obey your kind offer."

Chen Jianyue scanned the crowd and said in a loud voice, "Since Jiancang Pill Master is so generous, we won't be polite.

After we return, I will find a reliable channel to sell these Materials, and then we will fairly distribute the spiritual stones obtained."

Upon hearing this, everyone was naturally beaming with joy at this extra benefit, nodding one after another, their spirits also lifting.

"Today's spiritual medicine collection mission will be temporarily postponed."

After the fierce battle just now, everyone is quite exhausted, so we will rest here tonight."

Chen Jianyue carefully surveyed the surrounding environment and found that besides that Ice Scale Crocodile, there were no other demonic beasts in this cold pond area, so he immediately suggested.

Chen Jiancang naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement.

"The meat of this Ice Scale Crocodile is a rare delicacy, let's have a good taste today."

Chen Jianyue said with a smile.

The Ice Scale Crocodile was massive, making it impossible to take all the flesh and blood; apart from taking the most delicious parts, the rest could only be wasted.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became interested.

After all, having such a unique meal during a mission was extremely rare.

Chen Jianmo and Chen Jianxiu once again used earth-attribute Spells to quickly build a simple grill on the shore.

Chen Jianyue took out some spices and seasonings purchased from the Market from his storage bag.

These seasonings were prepared by him earlier to occasionally improve his spiritual meals, and he didn't expect them to be useful today.

Chen Jianyue skillfully cut off several pieces of Ice Scale Crocodile meat and placed them on the grill.

The Ice Scale Crocodile meat presented a faint blue color, and when first placed on the grill, it still emitted faint cold air, but under the heat of the flames, the cold air quickly dissipated.

As the flames licked the meat, the Ice Scale Crocodile meat began to sizzle, and oil constantly dripped onto the charcoal fire, splashing up tiny sparks.

The aroma of the grilled meat gradually spread, and everyone's stomachs rumbled in unison.

Chen Jianyue sprinkled various spices while flipping the grilled meat.

"This Ice Scale Crocodile has lived in the cold pond for a long time; its meat is incredibly delicious and contains spiritual power, which is also very nourishing for us cultivators," he said.

Before long, the grilled meat emitted an enticing color, with a golden crispy skin and tender, juicy interior.

Chen Jianyue cut the grilled meat into small pieces and distributed them to everyone.

Everyone eagerly took it and put it into their mouths.

The moment it entered their mouths, everyone showed extremely satisfied expressions.

The delicious taste spread in their mouths, the aroma of the meat and the spices perfectly blended together, and there was also a faint spiritual power flowing down their throats into their bodies, making them feel full of strength.

"This Ice Scale Crocodile meat is truly delicious; I didn't expect to have such a treat after experiencing a fierce battle," Chen Jianxiu said while chewing.

Chen Jiancang also took a piece of Ice Scale Crocodile meat and tasted it carefully.

Since transmigrating to this cultivation world, he had occasionally tasted the delicacies here.

However, the spiritual food he had encountered before was made from low-grade Materials, and the price of demonic beast meat delicacies like the First Order Late Stage Ice Scale Crocodile in spiritual food shops was comparable to Medicinal Pills, naturally something the previous Chen Jiancang could not afford.

Night fell, and the Qingya Mountain Range seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious black veil.

The surface of the cold pond, illuminated by the moonlight, shimmered with a cold glow, like a huge obsidian, occasionally rippled by a gentle breeze, breaking the shattered reflection of the moon.

The surrounding trees rustled in the night wind, and everyone sat around the bonfire.

The flames of the bonfire danced, crackling, adding a bit of warmth and vitality to the silent night.

They reminisced about the deliciousness of the Ice Scale Crocodile meat while chatting softly, sharing interesting stories and insights from their cultivation.

Chen Jiancang sat aside, quietly listening to everyone's words, his gaze fixed on the distant night sky.

The night sky was filled with twinkling stars, like gems embedded in a black curtain, brilliant and mysterious.

He couldn't help but think of the world he was in before transmigrating; although there were stars in the night sky there too, they were far less clear and bright than here.

Before transmigrating, he was still attending class at school, just looking at the teacher who was close at hand, watching the small rainbows formed by the flying saliva droplets in the sunlight.

He briefly zoned out, and by the time he came back to his senses, he had already transmigrated to this world.

It was simply outrageous.

As night deepened, the sound of everyone's conversation gradually lowered, and they each circulated the spiritual energy within their bodies, beginning to recover their spiritual energy.

Unconsciously, the eastern sky gradually turned a fish-belly white.

The first ray of dawn penetrated the clouds and shone upon the Qingya Mountain Range.

The surface of the cold pond sparkled, as if sprinkled with a layer of gold dust.

The surrounding trees swayed in the morning breeze, and dew drops slid from the leaves, dripping onto the ground with a crisp sound.

Chen Jianyue was the first to wake up from cultivation.

He stretched lazily, looked at the gradually brightening sky, and felt refreshed.

He woke up the others, and everyone got up, starting to pack their belongings.

"Today, we will continue to complete the spiritual medicine collection mission."

Chen Jianyue said with a firm tone, and everyone nodded.

There were more than a dozen locations where spiritual medicines needed to be collected for this mission.

These were all immature spiritual medicines discovered by Chen Family members before, estimated to be nearing maturity, which was why members of the Law Enforcement Hall and Dan Hall were dispatched to collect them.

Everyone packed their belongings and set off towards the next target for this spiritual medicine collection mission.

Along the way, everyone remained vigilant, as the Qingya Mountain Range was full of dangers, and no one knew when a powerful demonic beast might suddenly appear.

Chen Jiancang walked in the middle of the team.

Before long, they arrived at the first place where spiritual medicine grew.

This was a hidden valley, surrounded by tall trees, with sunlight filtering through the gaps in the branches and leaves, forming patches of light.

In the center of the valley, several spiritual medicines emitting a faint glow were growing.

Chen Jiancang was the first to step forward to check, confirming that these spiritual medicines had matured.

Chen Jiancang nodded, signaling everyone to start collecting.

Everyone carefully approached the spiritual medicines, used spiritual power to collect them, and placed them in special jade boxes to preserve their medicinal properties.

Two or three days passed in a flash.

Although there were some minor setbacks during the several collections, they were all successfully completed, and the spiritual medicines were safely gathered.

"Once we finish collecting these Wood Sprout Fruits, we can go back."

Chen Jianyue said with a smile.

After several consecutive days of collecting, everyone's spirits were highly focused, and despite resting, they were still exhausted.

Just as everyone was almost finished collecting, suddenly, a low roar came from the valley.

Everyone's faces changed, and they immediately stopped what they were doing, looking vigilantly in the direction of the roar.

They saw a huge Stone Armored Beast slowly walking out from one side of the valley.

Its body was covered with hard stone armor, and the ground trembled with every step it took.

"It's a First Order Late Stage Stone Armored Beast, everyone be careful!"

Chen Jianyue shouted a reminder.

Everyone quickly formed a formation, preparing to face the enemy.

However, the Stone Armored Beast seemed to have no intention of bothering them and quickly walked past everyone with a swagger.

Just as everyone was relieved, a rustling sound came from the distance, approaching from far away.
