175: Chapter 175 Xuan Tian Continent

Xiao Yuchen took the wooden bowl, took one look at it, and drank the medicine.

"You dare to drink it without even asking what medicine it is? Aren't you afraid I might poison you?"

Seeing that Xiao Yuchen had drank the medicine directly, Wen Ruyu was somewhat surprised.

"You are my benefactor. You saved my life, so why would you want to harm me?" Xiao Yuchen retorted with a smile.

"Uh... I suppose that's true. You must be hungry. Father is stewing some meat, I'll go get you a bowl."

Wen Ruyu was at the 10th level of the Qi Refinement Stage and could not yet achieve Inedia. She felt that Xiao Yuchen's strength was about the same as hers, or perhaps even worse, as she would never have been in such a sorry state facing a Gale Leopard.

"What kind of meat is so fragrant? I smelled it just a moment ago."

Xiao Yuchen did not reveal his true strength. Being a newcomer, it was better to keep a low profile to avoid bringing trouble upon himself.

"Gale Leopard meat. It's actually thanks to you that we have it," Wen Ruyu said with a smile.

"Can I go take a look with you? And thank your uncle for saving my life while I'm at it."

"No, your injuries haven't healed yet. You can't move around carelessly," Wen Ruyu quickly stopped him.

"I've been lying down for a day, and my injuries are mostly healed. Walking around a little bit shouldn't be a problem."

As he spoke, Xiao Yuchen lifted the quilt and stepped off the kang bed, suddenly feeling a cold breeze down below.

Xiao Yuchen instinctively looked down and realized he was only wearing a pair of small underpants.

"Damn it, where are my clothes?"

Xiao Yuchen hopped back onto the earthen kang in a flash and covered his body with the quilt.

Although it was only for a split second, Wen Ruyu had still seen it and let out an involuntary scream.

"Ah! You... pervert!"

"It's not like that, Miss Wen, please listen to me. I didn't even know I wasn't wearing any clothes."

Xiao Yuchen was incredibly embarrassed and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's words, Wen Ruyu finally calmed down. It was indeed her father who had removed Xiao Yuchen's clothes.

"Your... your clothes were covered in blood, so Father took them off to wash them. He left his own clothes by your side, you should put those on."

Wen Ruyu's face was flushed with embarrassment. She was still an innocent young girl who had never experienced such a situation, and she felt quite flustered inside.

"I have clothes, I..."

Xiao Yuchen's System Space contained an entire supermarket, along with hundreds of sets of designer men's and women's clothing.

However, the next moment, Xiao Yuchen froze. He was still unable to open his System Inventory.

"How severe is this Soul injury, exactly? I can't even open my System Inventory."

Xiao Yuchen quickly accepted the reality. As long as he was still alive, everything would get better.

"I'll just wear your father's clothes for now. Uh... Miss Wen, could you step outside for a moment?"

"Oh, right."

Hearing that Xiao Yuchen needed to change, Wen Ruyu hurriedly fled the room.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuchen let out a sigh of relief and picked up the clothes left by his side. They were a one-piece robe, looking a bit like... like the clothes worn by crosstalk performers.

Xiao Yuchen didn't have time to worry about that. He put the clothes on and walked out of the room, arriving in the courtyard.

The small courtyard was not very big and was surrounded by a picket fence. Various vegetables were planted in the yard, growing very well; it was a scene of pastoral life.

In the middle of the yard hung a large pot, and a middle-aged man was placing firewood under it.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuchen was somewhat speechless. There wasn't even a stove; it was too primitive. But regardless, the smell was truly delicious.

The middle-aged man was also a Cultivator, but only at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage. In the Cultivation World, the Foundation Establishment Stage was about the same as an ordinary person.

Xiao Yuchen walked up to the middle-aged man, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Senior, for saving my life."

Xiao Yuchen's attitude was very humble. Although the middle-aged man's cultivation level was not high, he was his benefactor, and he deserved such respect.

Hearing the voice, the middle-aged man put down the firewood in his hands, turned to look at Xiao Yuchen, and said, "Little brother, your Physique is quite extraordinary. You suffered such heavy injuries, yet you can move freely after lying down for only one day?"

"Perhaps it is because this Junior is young," Xiao Yuchen did not explain.

"Come and take a look. This is the meat of that Gale Leopard you killed. Taste it and see how it is."

While the two were talking, Wen Ruyu walked out from the inner room, holding three sets of bowls and chopsticks. It was evident that her cheeks were still flushed with embarrassment.

Seeing the meat in the pot, Xiao Yuchen also felt an appetite, but as a guest, he naturally could not eat first.

Seeming to understand Xiao Yuchen's thoughts, the middle-aged man took the bowl from his daughter's hand, served a large piece of meat, and handed it to Xiao Yuchen.

"Give it a try. This Gale Leopard meat is very nourishing and will be good for your recovery."

This time, Xiao Yuchen did not refuse. He took the meat from the middle-aged man and began to eat.

After just one bite, Xiao Yuchen frowned slightly. The texture of the Gale Leopard meat was indeed very good and quite elastic, but he couldn't quite accept the taste because it had absolutely no flavor.

Although it had no flavor, Xiao Yuchen did not show it. He happily ate the whole piece of meat and kept praising how delicious it was.

"Brother Yuchen, you are so lucky. My father's cooking is the best. I guarantee that after you eat his cooking, you won't want to eat anyone else's cooking ever again."

Hearing Wen Ruyu's words, Xiao Yuchen's face darkened. This was considered delicious? Then how terrible must the cooking of people in the Cultivation World be?

However, thinking about it, it was normal. Most Cultivators had already achieved Inedia and rarely cooked, so their culinary skills were naturally not very good. Most importantly, there were no seasonings here.

"Yes, I am indeed very lucky. In a few days, when my body is a bit better, I will cook a meal for you as a token of thanks for saving my life."

Right now, Xiao Yuchen couldn't open his System Inventory and couldn't take out ingredients or seasonings, so even if his cooking skills were excellent, it was useless.

"Brother Yuchen, you can cook too?" Wen Ruyu was a bit surprised.

"Yes, a little bit," Xiao Yuchen nodded.

Xiao Yuchen appeared very humble on the surface, but in his heart, he was saying, "I am a God of Cooking. My cooking skills are eighteen streets ahead of your father's, okay? With your father's level of cooking, it's only fit to be fed to primitive people."

"Hmm, then another day I must have a taste," Wen Ruyu said with a smile.

...

Xiao Yuchen had always thought that the Cultivation World was very dangerous and that people's hearts were very sinister, but after arriving here, he realized that things were not as he had imagined. He didn't understand why Azure Dragon and Dashan had both told him that the Cultivation World was very dangerous and that he should only come after reaching the Soul Transformation Stage.

A few days passed in a flash. Xiao Yuchen's external injuries had completely healed, but his Soul injuries needed to be repaired slowly.

By asking Wen Qing, who was Wen Ruyu's father, Xiao Yuchen learned that this plane was called the Xuantian Continent, and the Human Race's inhabited areas on the Xuantian Continent were divided into five prefectures: Dongba Prefecture, Nanhe Prefecture, Xiyue Prefecture, Beixuan Prefecture, and the Central Divine Continent.

Besides the Human Race's inhabited areas, there were also places where Yao Beasts lived, known as the Demon Domain.

The Human Race's Central Divine Continent and the Demon Domain were in the central region, while the other four major prefectures were located in the four cardinal directions of the Xuantian Continent.

Except for the five major prefectures of the Human Race and the Demon Domain, all other places were the Sea of Death. Each prefecture was very large, and they were separated by great distances.
