Chapter 34 Demon and Monster Meat, New Ambition
At this gathering of inner court disciples, Tang Sang undoubtedly became the focus, while Bu Che sat at the end and was ignored by everyone.
Many senior brothers and sisters saw through it all and knew that Tang Sang's seven-element martial arts talent was highly valued by Master Zhou, who might even consider her as his future successor.
She was valued by Master Zhou even more than Kong Ci and Lin Qiuyue!
After all, you can tell just by looking at the seating arrangements at today's banquet.
With the potential to become a Seven-Element Martial Arts Master, he will undoubtedly become a porcelain refiner in the future, or even a more advanced one. He could potentially reach the eighth or even seventh rank and be highly regarded by Master Zhou, who will undoubtedly consider him his successor.
Therefore, there is no doubt about who to befriend and who to curry favor with.
Compared to Tang Sang, Bu Che was also a newly initiated disciple, but... having heard that he had been haunted by the evil thoughts of ghosts and gods for seven days, and it was unknown whether he could survive, there was naturally no need to waste energy trying to befriend him.
However, Bu Che didn't care and silently ate meat...and more meat.
Free meat, why not eat it!
This meat isn't cheap outside!
Bu Che even saw a pot of fragrant demon beast meat.
However, the pot of meat was located near Master Zhou and Tang Sang, and quite far from Bu Che's place.
Even if Bu Che, who was sitting at the end of the long table, stood up, he might not be able to reach the pot of demon beast meat. For a moment, he could only sigh with regret.
However, since we can't eat demon beast meat, we can certainly feast on beef and wild boar meat to our hearts' content!
"Tang Sang, this is demon beast meat that I specially asked your senior sister Qiuya to exchange for at the Xue family's Ghost Porcelain Kiln. Try it, eat more of it, it will be very helpful for consolidating your boiling blood and breaking through to the internal energy."
With a kind expression, Master Zhou placed a large chopstick of demon and monster meat on Tang Sang's plate.
"Thank you, teacher! Thank you, Senior Sister Qiuya! Oh, this meat smells so good!"
Tang Sang ate with her mouth full of oil, constantly uttering sweet words to please Master Zhou.
While he was eating the demon beast meat, he glanced at Bu Che, who was engrossed in eating dried beef, and a smug smile appeared on his lips. He felt that the meat in his bowl was even more delicious.
"Teacher, A-Che is also a newly initiated disciple. Let me give him a piece of demon beast meat to try."
Lin Qiuyue noticed Tang Sang's subtle glance, her brows furrowed slightly, and she looked at Master Zhou before speaking.
Upon hearing this, Master Zhou calmly ate a piece of demon beast meat without much change in expression. He glanced at Bu Che, who was engrossed in eating beef, and said indifferently, "Just pick a small piece. If your physique isn't good, eating too much demon beast meat will be hard to digest."
Lin Qiuyue paused for a moment, then stood up and used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of the demon beast meat from the bowl. She protected the meat with her hand while carrying the broth, and ran to the end of the table to place the demon beast meat in Bu Che's bowl.
"Ah Che, have some too, try it."
Lin Qiuyue said with a smile.
Bu Che glanced gratefully at Lin Qiuyue, quickly put down his chopsticks, stood up, and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect: "Thank you, Senior Sister!"
"That's polite, go ahead and eat."
A smile flickered in Lin Qiuyue's peach blossom eyes, which seemed to hold even the dogs in deep affection, before she returned to her seat.
The other senior students glanced at him and then looked away; no one paid any more attention to Bu Che.
Kong Ci thought for a moment, then took a bowl, picked up some of the dishes that were only available at the front of the long table to replenish qi and blood, and served them to Bu Che.
Bu Che quickly thanked him, feeling a slight warmth in his heart.
Then, they began to eat heartily and diligently!
"From now on, we, the master and disciples, will get together once a month, in this way."
"At every gathering, I ask Qiuya to bring back some demon beast meat. There's not much of it, so once a month is just right."
Old Zhou put down his chopsticks, stroked his beard, and chuckled.
Many disciples put down their chopsticks and clasped their hands in greeting.
"Thank you, Master Zhou."
Bu Che also expressed his gratitude, and indeed he did. The flesh of the demon beast was more expensive than gold, and it was said that only the powerful and wealthy and the porcelain masters in the Xue family kiln were qualified to enjoy it.
The fact that these disciples were able to eat the flesh of demons and monsters was all thanks to Master Zhou.
Sitting back down in his chair, Bu Che looked at the piece of demon beast meat in his bowl, swallowed hard, and then picked it up and took a bite.
It's incredibly fresh from the first bite; the meat is not dry at all, but fresh, tender, and very chewy.
For Bu Che, who was used to eating delicious food in his previous life, the meat of this demon beast was also extremely delicious.
He finished eating in a few bites, and then Bu Che noticed a warm current rising automatically in his stomach, slowly steaming up and seeping into his skin and bones. In this process, his physique was quietly growing stronger!
Although the absorption rate was indeed slow, Bu Che was very satisfied with this real improvement!
"Good meat!"
Looking up at Tang Sang, who was enjoying herself to the fullest, Bu Che's eyes showed a rare look of envy.
After the meal, Bu Che helped his senior brothers and sisters remove the tables and chairs, while Elder Zhou pulled Tang Sang, Kong Ci, Lin Qiuyue and others aside to practice their internal energy. From time to time, Elder Zhou would also give pointers on the key points of the Hunyuan Battle Hammer.
"Teacher Zhou, I'll be leaving now."
After helping out, Bu Che clasped his hands in a fist salute to Master Zhou.
Master Zhou glanced at Bu Che, nodded slightly, and then went to instruct Tang Sang on her movements.
Bu Che didn't bother asking for guidance or anything like that, and left on his own.
After all, he didn't know how to use the Hunyuan Battle Body Hammer, and Elder Zhou hadn't taught him yet.
Old Zhou didn't ask him to stay, and staying wouldn't improve his image; it would only make things more awkward.
Bu Che didn't care and left the inner courtyard impatiently. He went to the training ground and began to practice the Battle Body Fist and Hammer, refining the energy in his body that was being digested by the demon beast's flesh and was being used to temper his body.
The effects are amazing, and most importantly, it's not painful at all; it's a gradual and subtle transformation of the body.
Although the feedback from the blessing of diligence was not high, Bu Che could genuinely feel the growth of his physical body!
The skin becomes firmer, and the muscles become stronger!
Most importantly, Bu Che felt that his understanding of the Battle Body Fist Hammer had become stronger!
"This demon beast meat... can alter one's martial arts foundation?!"
Bu Che's eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance!
[Battle Body Fist Hammer (Rank 9) Mastery (7/15)]
When the heat rising from the demon beast's flesh disappeared, Bu Che's feeling of spiritual enlightenment also vanished.
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"It should be a temporary effect that improves one's martial arts foundation..."
"This can't last. Perhaps only by eating more can one improve their martial arts foundation!"
Bu Che took a deep breath, and a new ambition suddenly arose in his heart.
From now on, he will definitely eat the flesh of demons and monsters in big gulps!
[Remaining Intentions: One Year]
……
With a furrowed brow and a jolt of anxiety as he looked at the prompt, Bu Che's heart tightened.
Anxiety surged within him, and so did his diligence... He needed to be even more diligent!
When it was time to finish work, Kong Ci went to the training ground and distributed the day's wages to the apprentices.
Bu Che also received twenty peace coins and was in a very good mood.
"Ah Che, judging by the time... your tribulation of evil thoughts should be coming soon, right?"
Kong Ci called out to Bu Che, who was turning to leave.
Bu Che was very grateful to Kong Ci, whether it was her guidance before or the special dishes served at the dinner table today, they were all a kind of favor.
"Yes, probably tomorrow."
"Bu Che said."
"I hope you can survive," Kong Ci said, patting Bu Che on the shoulder.
Bu Che immediately broke into a bright smile: "Don't worry, Senior Brother!"
After bidding farewell to Kong Ci, Bu Che left the Broken Porcelain Workshop without returning to the apprentice courtyard, having made a promise to Steward Liu.
He found an inn on Seri Street and checked in directly.
Inside the inn, he practiced the Blood Porcelain Qi Elixir Technique, elevating his blood and qi to their most perfect state.
Outside the carved wooden window, snowflakes fell like cotton wool.
Night fell quietly.
