Chapter 584: Chapter 47: The Commandery Prince’s Family Also Has No Surplus Grain_1 Chapter 584: Chapter 47: The Commandery Prince’s Family Also Has No Surplus Grain_1 …

Heng Commandery Prince became perplexed.

It seemed having Yang Licui as a disciple was not as easy as it seemed.

Unable to shake off his frustration, he changed the subject: “Yunyang, how much do you think a chicken is worth?”

“That depends on where it is and how big the chicken is,” replied Master Yunyang.

“If it’s in an ordinary farmhouse, it could be as little as sixty or seventy shillings, or as much as a couple of Copper Coins.

But in your place, the White Cloud Tower, the price skyrockets to over a hundred times.

A simple dish called ‘Eight Treasures Braised Chick Phoenix’ costs up to several tens of gold coins.”

Having said this, Master Yunyang paused for a moment, then took a sneak peek at the Commandery Prince: “But if we’re in the Nine Extremities, where there’s nothing growing and you haven’t eaten or drunk anything for three months, that chicken would be priceless.

… Prince, gratitude is essential in life.”

Gratitude my foot!

The face of the Heng Commandery Prince twitched; he was about to lose his temper regardless of his dignity, and sullenly responded, “Even so, you secretly hid many chickens when we conducted the Sacred Land tasks together.”

“It’s my business that I have many chickens.

Did you or did you not eat my chickens?” Master Yunyang retorted, rolling his eyes.

“I did!”

Heng Commandery Prince resigned himself.

If he had known that Yunyang would use that to blackmail him for hundreds of years, he would have refused that chicken even if it cost him his life.

“Look, I even gave you such a precious chicken to eat.” Master Yunyang said while stroking his beard, “Now I’m merely staying a little while in your tavern with my disciple, is it really that big of a deal, really?”

A little while?

He had been staying for five years straight, was that what he called a little while?

The heart of the Heng Commandery Prince was bleeding out, feeling utterly desolated.

If he wasn’t aware of Yunyang’s cultivation that had already reached the peak of the Purple Abode Realm, thus making him unbeatable, he would have cursed him out already.

While the two top dogs were whispering to each other in the loft, the final round of the “Under 50 Years Old Big Stomach King Competition” below was also in full swing.

As plate after plate of roasted Spirit Meat disappeared into the mouths of Wang Licui and the Big Savannah Elephant, the cheers around them were becoming louder and louder, nearly overturning the entire pavilion.

Were it not for the Soundproof Array Method installed in the pavilions of the White Cloud Tower, that would seal off all sounds within once activated, and was inaudible to cultivators below the Purple Abode Realm, other guests would probably be disturbed and come to scold them.

The grilling plates were quickly piling up into a mountain.

Gradually, the Big Savannah Elephant started to falter, his face turning pale as beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.

His digestive ability was indeed strong, and he could even digest jade stones and iron sand.

But no matter how good his digestion was, he needed time to digest!

Each plate of roasted Spirit Meat weighed tens of jin, and every additional plate he consumed made his stomach feel like it was convulsing, as if he was enduring torture.

In contrast, Miss Licui ate leisurely and elegantly, but her speed of devouring the roasted meat was no slower than that of the Big Savannah Elephant.

Most importantly, she was devouring the meat with relish, clearly savoring the delicacies.

The capital city is so much fun, there are so many delicious foods~~ The more Wang Licui ate, the happier she felt, life was really wonderful.

Seeing this, the noblemen of the prominent families who had bet on the Big Savannah Elephant winning started to grow uneasy.

They shouted, “Big Savannah Elephant, you’re not going to lose to a woman, are you?”

“I wagered four thousand Qian Gold coins on you!”

“I gambled all the pocket money I’ve been saving up for thirty years on you!

If you lose, I’ll skin you alive!”

With these “encouragements,” the Big Savannah Elephant struggled to continue for the duration of an incense stick, and managed to gobble down five more large plates of roast meat before he finally couldn’t keep up, and ran to the corner to vomit.

A wave of boos immediately erupted from the crowd.

“Eh?

You’re done?”

Wang Licui seemed unsatisfied as she licked her lips.

She looked at the Big Savannah Elephant, then at the shopkeeper who was hosting the competition, suppressed her desire for a while, but eventually couldn’t help asking the shopkeeper timidly, pointing at the ten plates of roasted Spirit Meat that had just been served: “Shopkeeper, um…

can I eat the rest?”

As her words fell, the whole place fell into awkward silence.

Everyone looked at Wang Licui with strange expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

In view of this bizarre scene, even the two top dogs peering into the situation from the loft in the White Cloud Tower were taken aback.

Especially Heng Commandery Prince, his expression was indeed complicated.

Over the past five years, he had always been living in such astonishment, no matter how many times it happened, he found it hard to accept!

After a good few moments, he finally regained his composure and sighed, “The devouring bloodline of Licui is truly extraordinary.

Yunyang, you’re really lucky.”

“Yeah, not bad~” Master Yunyang said, looking very pleased, “She has great bloodline potential, but she requires intense nourishment.

The earlier her bloodline is enhanced the stronger she will be.

But most of the food she devours is transformed into spiritual essence and a slight increase in bloodline power.

It’s challenging, very challenging.”

The devouring type of bloodline was a pretty rare one.

Still, there are many recorded cases in the annals of the Sacred Land and the Academic Palace.

Although Heng Commandery Prince was amazed, he merely thought Wang Licui had some kind of rare devouring bloodline.

Only Master Yunyang knew that Li Yao’s bloodline was not an ordinary devouring one, but the Gluttonous Bloodline mentioned in some very ancient documents.

This bloodline held enormous potential; as long as it could be cultivated, it would become invincible at later stages.

The problem was, it’s quite strenuous to raise during the early stages because it required constant devouring of Heaven and Earth Treasure and food to build a foundation.
