294: Fill your stomach first

“What the hell is this?”

Su Can held the two incomplete cultivation techniques, his expression utterly bewildered.

They were from the same sect, so why were the items left on the Inner Inheritance Mountain Peak so scarce?

It couldn't even be described as scarce; it was as if everything had been completely scoured, packed up, and taken away.

“Why are every seclusion chamber and bedroom of the Qixia Sect’s Inner Inheritance Mountain Peak disciples so meticulously cleaned, as if they received advance notice to leave and packed everything up?”

“But what about the Outer Sect? They are from the same sect, so why were so many things left behind in the Outer Sect, giving the impression of a hasty departure, as if there wasn't enough time to pack?”

Su Can felt a little puzzled. “Could it be that the Outer Sect was initially intended to be abandoned? Then they suddenly changed their minds, gave a temporary notice, and then relocated?”

Su Can shook his head, finding it truly hard to understand.

However, the two incomplete cultivation techniques in his hands, the Sun Devouring Skill and the Blood Sea Rising Sun Skill, were extremely powerful.

Even in their incomplete state, Su Can felt they were extraordinary. Unfortunately, such incomplete cultivation techniques could not be rashly practiced, or it would be easy for major problems to arise.

“What a pity!”

Su Can sighed, looking at the jade slip in his hand. He really couldn't bear to throw it away, so he simply put it into his spatial storage.

Next, the two began to continuously scour.

From the Seventy-two Peaks, they scoured all the way to the Twentieth Peak.

Unfortunately, they didn't find anything of great value.

However, they did collect some scattered refining materials and some cultivation insights.

“Damn it, they really took everything clean. Out of the Seventy-two Peaks, we’ve already searched over fifty Mountain Peaks, yet the harvest is minimal.”

Even Su Can found it incredible. He recalled that back in Huangshan, he had found a small private cave dwelling and reaped a full harvest.

Yet, in the face of a massive cultivation sect like Qixia Sect, he had not gained much.

“Boss, are we still searching? I’m hungry.”

Gu Qingfeng was already tired from running. After all, he was only in the Qi Refining stage, far from reaching the Bigu (abstinence from grains) realm.

Even if Su Can had established his foundation, he couldn't go without eating forever.

Moreover, the habits he had developed over a long time couldn't be changed.

Eating was definitely something he couldn't quit.

Especially after cultivating the Seven Emotions Floating Pagoda Hand, an supreme divine ability, his seven emotions and six desires remained like those of an ordinary person. After a long time, he couldn't help but crave food and drink.

Now that he thought about it, it seemed Su Can hadn't eaten anything for several days since he returned.

At this moment, prompted by Gu Qingfeng, he inexplicably felt a bland taste in his mouth and wanted something delicious to eat, especially meat.

“Let’s go up and eat python meat.”

The more Su Can thought about it, the stronger his desire for food became. He simply waved his hand and quit!

“After we’ve eaten our fill, rested well, we’ll come back down tomorrow and continue exploring here!”

Su Can snorted, “I don’t believe that a massive cultivation sect would leave absolutely nothing behind!”

“Yes, yes, yes, let’s eat our fill first, and then we’ll come back to explore tomorrow.”

Gu Qingfeng was also a true foodie. As soon as he heard about eating giant python meat, his throat couldn't help but swallow.

“That python, having cultivated into a spirit, its flesh contains abundant vital essence. I imagine it must taste ten or even a hundred times more delicious than ordinary beef or mutton!”

“Just thinking about it now, my mouth is already watering!”

Gu Qingfeng swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. “Let’s go, Boss!”

“Let’s go!”

Su Can waved his hand, turned, and walked out, his speed extremely fast with the Divine Travel Seal activated.

Twenty minutes later.

The two returned to the small courtyard.

The enormous python head still stood in front of the courtyard, like a small Mountain Peak.

The meat on its head, after two meals by dozens of Geese, as well as Tiger Da, Big Yellow, Golden Eagle, and Eagle-chan, still had about half left.

Upon seeing it, Gu Qingfeng grinned and said, “Boss, how should we eat it? Stewed soup or roasted meat?”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and his magic weapon longsword appeared in his hand, gleaming with cold light. He excitedly walked towards the python’s head.

Just as Su Can brought out his Dan furnace, he saw Gu Qingfeng looking as if he was about to cut the snake meat, and immediately asked in surprise, “What are you doing?”

“Cutting python meat,” Gu Qingfeng said, stunneding for a moment. Wasn't he going to eat python meat?

“Who told you we were going to eat the meat from the python’s head?”

Su Can was speechless. With a wave of his hand, with a bang, a large section of the snake’s tail fell to the ground.

This section of the snake’s tail was the smallest part of the python’s body, but it was as thick as a water vat.

Lying on the ground, it was over three meters long, pressing a deep pit into the ground.

Gu Qingfeng was instantly dumbfounded. So there was still snake meat that hadn't been taken out; he had thought there was only a python head.

Slap!

Realizing, Gu Qingfeng immediately slapped the back of his own head.

Idiot, since the Boss could kill the large python and bring its head back for Tiger Da and the others to eat, why couldn't he bring back the meat from other parts of its body?

“Boss, I’ll skin it!”

Gu Qingfeng was quickly enticed by his craving. With a swift step, he rushed to the section of python tail, raised his magic sword, and prepared to skin it.

Crack!

With one strike, the python vibrated slightly, and a shower of sparks flew from its scales.

It was like the sparks generated when two stones collide.

“Wow, why are the python’s scales so hard?”

Gu Qingfeng’s expression froze for a moment, then he couldn't help but gasp.

As expected of a giant creature that had become a spirit, even its scales were so hard, able to resist the sharpness of a magic sword.

“Use true qi to control the sword and scrape off the scales against their direction, otherwise you’ll die of exhaustion.”

Su Can kindly reminded him, shook his head, clapped his Dan furnace, and activated the Blazing Fire Seal. With a boom, a terrifying burst of fire erupted, quickly heating the Pill Furnace to a glowing red.

Gu Qingfeng saw that Su Can had already started a fire, and he became anxious. With a low shout, he twisted his arm, true qi surged into his magic sword, and he activated the Divine Astral Array.

With a tearing sound, a crimson-gold sword aura burst forth, scraping against the scales of the python’s tail, producing a rapid series of thudding sounds.

The dark scales clattered down, revealing a layer of white, tough membrane.

Gu Qingfeng tore at it with his hand and found that this white membrane was astonishingly tough.

“Qingfeng, are you done yet?”

Su Can pointed a spell at the Dan furnace, which hummed and glowed, becoming as large as a stove, and a scorching aura immediately swept out.

“Oh, oh, I’m done, I’m done, but Boss, this python meat has a layer of white membrane, the one with the scales, it’s too tough, it’s a bit difficult to deal with.”

Gu Qingfeng was a little embarrassed.

The scales were dealt with, but the white membrane on the python’s body was indeed a bit tricky.

“Don’t worry about that membrane, I have a use for it later. Just cut off a section and bring it over to stew first!”

Su Can looked up, then directly activated his water control ability, condensing a large amount of rootless water from the air and injecting it into the Dan furnace.
