—------------------—
After severely despising the little golden-haired guy, Chen Yi got up and went to the Grand Elder's side, looking at the meat in the pot, which somehow looked different from what he had eaten before.
The doubt in Chen Yi's eyes naturally didn't escape the Grand Elder's notice. While stirring the meat in the pot, he looked at Chen Yi and chuckled softly, "How about it? How's the Spirit Ability provided by the Gold-Cracking Tiger?"
Hearing this, Chen Yi was no longer sleepy. His eyes immediately lit up. It was clear that this Spirit Ability was more to his liking than the previous one.
"My second Spirit Ability is called 'Power Through Eight Desolations.' When activated, all my attributes can be boosted by one hundred percent on top of their original foundation for a short period."
The Grand Elder was also shocked by this effect. This effect was simply direct and brutal. One must know that the secondary Awakening effect of a Body Martial Soul at the silver level was also a one hundred percent increase in all attributes. In some aspects, this Spirit Ability could already be compared to a secondary Awakening.
"Does this Spirit Ability have any drawbacks?"
Chen Yi nodded and said in a deep voice, "Once this Spirit Ability is activated, its duration is only ten minutes, and it can only be used once a day."
Towards the end, Chen Yi also felt a bit regretful. After all, a Spirit Ability with time and usage restrictions was almost useless in a prolonged battle.
The Grand Elder didn't find it strange. From its effect, Chen Yi's second Spirit Ability was stronger than many berserker-type Spirit Abilities, and it didn't have the unique after-effects of berserker Spirit Abilities. Just having a usage restriction already made it a true divine ability.
Moreover, this kind of attribute-boosting Spirit Ability is very popular in the Body Martial Soul, for no other reason than that the Body Sect has too many self-created Spirit Abilities that fit one's own body.
Many attack Spirit Abilities from spirit rings are not as powerful as those inheritable self-created Spirit Abilities learned in the Body Sect Secret Grounds.
Just like Chen Yi, he likes to use self-created Spirit Abilities against enemies, and other members of the Body Sect are the same, and the higher their Cultivation, the more they like it.
Therefore, the Disciples of the Body Sect generally do not particularly lack offensive means; what they lack are attribute Spirit Abilities that boost their own stats. As for operation, you don't need to worry about that.
Of course, Body Martial Souls of the mental force type, like the Grand Elder, are very lacking. After all, even after many years, the Body Sect has only a few self-created Spirit Abilities related to mental force, and the Cultivate requirements are also extremely high.
"Not bad, this Spirit hunt was very much a Perfection. We should celebrate properly."
"Come, try the Vajra meat I personally cooked."
The Grand Elder was clearly immensely satisfied with the result of this Spirit Ability, as it complemented many of the Body Sect's inherited self-created Spirit Abilities. But the next second, the Grand Elder's eyes darted around slyly. He slyly pulled Chen Yi over and then served a large bowl full of it in front of him.
Seeing this fragrant bowl of meat, Chen Yi instinctively shivered, then cautiously looked at the Grand Elder.
"You're not trying to pull another trick, are you?"
It wasn't that Chen Yi doubted the Grand Elder's character; it was just that the old man had messed with him so much these past few days. Now, in Chen Yi's eyes, unless it was a major matter, the Grand Elder's credit rating with him wasn't even enough to rent a shared bicycle.
Seeing that Chen Yi actually didn't believe him, the Grand Elder snorted angrily, "You brat, don't be ungrateful. This is a good thing. The Star Luo Royal Family might not even get to eat this treasure these past few years. Even Chen Zhen would be drooling at the sight of this stuff."
Chen Yi said expressionlessly, "Really?"
Grand Elder: "Truer than true gold."
Chen Yi: "I don't believe it."
Grand Elder: "I didn't expect that in the little guy's heart, this old man would be such an untrustworthy person. Never mind, this old man will today swear by his Spirit..."
This scene scared Chen Yi so much that he immediately grabbed the Grand Elder's hand and hurriedly said, "No, no, I believe you, I believe you."
What a joke! If his father and mother knew that the Grand Elder was going to swear by his Spirit, wouldn't they skin him alive!
The Grand Elder immediately withdrew his right hand, pushed the bowl forward, and looked at Chen Yi with a wide smile.
Chen Yi looked helpless. He picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of fragrant meat, stared at it for a while, and then, under the Grand Elder's expectant gaze, put it into his mouth.
It was soft, yet chewy, without the strange taste Chen Yi had expected. Instead, it had an excellent texture, and coupled with the rich sauce, it had a unique flavor.
Hmm, it's quite palatable.
Watching Chen Yi go from a look of heroic sacrifice to doubt, and then to enjoyment, the Grand Elder's face wrinkled like a large chrysanthemum, and a gradually lewd voice slowly began to sound.
"How is it, kid? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Chen Yi, at this moment, picked up another piece and put it in his mouth. Hearing the Grand Elder's words, he replied, "Hmm, it's alright. Of course, it would be even better if it were cooked a bit softer."
The Grand Elder's mouth was now even wider, almost splitting his face into two halves. He leaned in and whispered to Chen Yi.
"Then do you want to know what kind of meat this is?"
Chen Yi sighed inwardly. Sure enough, how could I expect the old rascal to suddenly become serious? He put down his chopsticks and looked at the Grand Elder with a helpless expression.
"What kind of meat is this, after all?"
"Tiger meat!"
Chen Yi frowned, staring at the Grand Elder. Tiger meat would naturally be an issue in his previous World, but in the Douluo Continent, it wasn't really a rare item. Chen Yi had eaten it since he was young, but the taste of those tiger meats was not like this one.
"Fourth Grandfather, are you sure you're not lying to me?"
It wasn't that Chen Yi didn't believe him; it was just that the difference between this and tiger meat was a bit too great. If he had to describe it, it was a bit like that thing his roommate, who had a girlfriend in college, once bought out of curiosity for a meal in his previous World.
The Grand Elder also knew that these few words wouldn't deceive Chen Yi, but he didn't expect Chen Yi to finish it. The next moment, he looked mischievously in the direction of the Gold-Cracking Tiger's corpse.
Chen Yi followed his gaze. Unlike before, the Gold-Cracking Tiger was now flipped over, and its tail was already stained red with blood.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yi's mouth twitched. Sure enough, it was that thing, but what was in his bowl now was much more 'tiger' than what he had in his previous World. He then turned to face the Grand Elder's secretly expectant gaze, as if to say: 'Throw up, go on, throw up!'
To the Grand Elder's surprise, Chen Yi showed no strong reaction. Instead, he very seriously said to the Grand Elder:
"Rarely, you old man actually knew to remove the gamey smell."
The Grand Elder's eyes immediately went blank. "That's not right! Why aren't you following the script, kid? You've been living in luxury since you were young, never eaten such dirty stuff. Now that you've eaten so much, even if you're not furious, at least give some kind of reaction!"
The Grand Elder was completely overthinking it.
Fu Si, back then, was from Huaxia(Chin), the country that eats all the beings that run, Swim, and Fly, living or Dead, without any problems. Fu Si was also a foodie in his previous life who ate all kinds of food. Some of which are more disgusting than this.
One could say he had all the buffs stacked on him. A mere tiger penis, besides being rare enough, really wasn't anything disgusting.
Too lazy to bother with the Grand Elder's blank expression, he picked up a piece of meat, looked at it for a while, and then told the Grand Elder the shortcomings of this dish.
"Next time, remember to score this thing with a knife pattern; it'll absorb flavor better and look nicer."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, right, if you have time, please prepare some more rice for me. Thanks!"
