Chapter 729: A Dao Treading Realm Corpse And Credit To Give
A week had passed since Lin Wu had returned to the Millennium forest. He had been resting the entire time and was steadily recovering to his peak. Just to restore his own body’s spirit Qi alone took him this much time.
‘Man, with the large capacity regenerate it all takes some time even if I’m actively cultivating…’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
His body lightly glowed in the hall as he stayed curled up there. Only after he felt that he had sufficient spirit Qi for a while did he decided to call the meeting.
~HUAAAA~
Lin Wu stretched his body as the segments clattered against each other.
“How are the two of them doing?” Lin Wu asked as a window appeared in front of him.
He first checked the Twin Lights Liger King, who was still asleep. The system showed his vitals on the side and they had certainly improved.
“He’s gonna need a while more.” Lin Wu muttered.
Regardless, it wasn’t a problem and he could just let the Twin Lights Liger King rest and heal here. The system estimated that he should be fine in a couple of weeks and should also wake up on his own by then.
“The Weasel though…” Lin Wu muttered as he observed Tim.
The system couldn’t scan Tim the same way it could with the Twin Lights Liger King, thus the most it could do was surface level observation. While the system couldn’t tell what Tim’s condition was, from the steady movement of his chest and breathing, the system reckoned he was still assimilating the energy from the Supreme elder.
“AH! That reminds me… I have a promise to fulfill.” Lin Wu said as he looked at a certain corpse in his inventory.
Lin Wu hadn’t eaten the Supreme elder’s body yet as he fully intended on completing what he had said to the man later. And it would be far better meal anyway…
Lin Wu sent out a message to his subordinate and called in a meeting.
Fifteen minutes passed, after which, they all arrived.
~shua~ shua~ shua~
The hum of the runes could be felt as teleportation formations activated one after the other, bringing in all of the beasts.
“Welcome back, master!” The beasts said in unison.
Lin Wu gave a nod to them before looking at the Emeraldine Monkeys.
~thud~
He dropped a corpse in front of them, making them confused.
“Huh?” That was until they felt the faint spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the corpse that was missing one leg.
Even if the corpse was dead, they could still feel that it was rather tempting to them. Their instinct told them to eat out, and yet they knew that if they were to do it, they would be greatly punished by Lin Wu.
“Umm, what do we do with this, master?” The leader of the Emeraldine Monkeys, questioned.
“I want you to cook it. I’ll give you the way I want you to cook it too. I need it to be exactly that.” Lin Wu answered and send him the recipe.
Looking at the 11 spices and herbs, the Emeraldine Monkey was surprised.
“Umm… master… is it really fine to use these many previous spirit herbs for this?” The Leader of the Emeraldine Monkeys asked.
“Of course! This is a Dao Treading realm corpse, so use of these resources is perfect in cooking it!” Lin Wu stated.
“What?!” the beasts were all in for the shock.
“This… this is a Dao Treading realm, corpse?” The Deep Earth Emeraldine Mole said in disbelief.
“Master is truly strong!” The Emeraldine Horn Beetle said with pride.
“Master is great!” The others beast too joined in on the praise.
Lin Wu being able to kill a Dao Treading realm cultivator like this while being at the Dao Shell realm was a matter of great pride to them.
‘With a strong King like this, why do we even need to worry?’ The Split Thorn Horn Beetle King thought to himself.
‘Perhaps he truly will be the one who brings beasts to a new age…’ the Slim arm ape king wondered.
On the other hand, the Demon Spine Ape King had a hint of excitement in his eyes.
‘I wonder if I’ll reach the same level one day…’ he thought.
He wanted to be like Lin Wu now, being able to fight a Dao Treading realm cultivator and defeat them while also being a realm weaker.
‘Yes! I’ll set this as my goal for the future!’ the Demon Spine Ape king decided.
Various thoughts went through the beast’s minds, but what was all common was that they felt awed at Lin Wu’s power. It only deepened their respect for him and increased their loyalty to Lin Wu.
The Club Tailed Lizard felt lightheaded too.
‘My kids have this bloodline… even if it is just a part of it, just how strong will they be in the future?’ She couldn’t help but see a scene in her mind where the five Club Tailed Lizards stood upon a mountain of corpses.
“I-I’ll get the juniors to prepare this right away!” The Leader of the Emeraldine Monkeys spoke hurriedly. “I shall have it ready for the meal tonight, my king.” He added.
“Oh, wait!” Lin Wu remembered something.
“Put asides one of the arms.” Lin Wu spoke.
“May I ask why?” The beast asked, finding it strange.
If Lin Wu had such a precious meal, it would make sense to eat as much of it as possible. Leaving something like an arm won’t be as good.
“That arm will be the reward for the Twin Lights Liger King. For his help and work that he did at the Frozen Cloud sect.” Lin Wu answered, surprising the beasts.
“What did he exactly do that he is worthy of this?” The High Wind Emeraldine Sparrow inquired.
“Well he had a part in fighting this man, of course. The Twin Lights Liger King and Tim held back the Dao Treading Realm supreme elder long enough that I was able to prepare my own attack to kill him.” Lin Wu didn’t hesitate in giving some credit.
