Chapter Thirty-One: Cloud System Spirit Beast (Part One)

  Autumn wind and autumn rain make people sad.

  It's already deep autumn now.

  The hazy drizzle, outside the Changchun residence, weaves a hazy misty rain net. The distant mountain peaks and the nearby green bamboo are all obscured in the misty fine rain. Under the corridor, the rainwater falls to the ground, splashing down flowers of rain. In the distance, a bird flies quickly across the rain.

  Lu Yuan has never been a sentimental person and naturally wouldn't have any melancholy thoughts now.

  As for Lu Yuan, he was also forced by his master Li Yuanbai to read some books and recite some poems. After all, in Master Li's opinion, the classics of Confucianism can cultivate a person's character. Li Yuanbai attaches great importance to character, believing that if one has good character, other shortcomings can be tolerated and gradually cultivated, but if one's character is poor, it is hopeless. Moreover, Li Yuanbai believes that those poems and classics can cultivate a person's temperament.

  So, under the pressure of his master, although Lu Yuan was quite lazy, he was also forced to read some classic poems, such as "Against the drizzle of autumn rain on the river sky, a round of washing clean autumn." "The color of the rain is cold in autumn, and the wind is strong and refreshing on the river." "Autumn wind blows white waves, autumn rain wails defeated lotus. Thirty miles of flat lake, many travelers feel autumn passing by."

  I'm not completely clueless, so I naturally understand some of the underlying meaning.

  But what's the use of having a good atmosphere?

  Still haven't got a taste of reality.

  Alright, I have no choice but to admit it, I'm a common person, a very common person.

  It's already autumn now, and I should think about what to eat in autumn.

  Eating is one aspect of life, broad and profound.

  Blindly pursuing spicy, fresh and salty has already fallen to a lower level.

  The true essence of culinary art lies in the freshness, spiciness, and saltiness, but also in preserving the original flavor of the ingredients. Some dishes don't need any seasonings, as their natural taste is already delicious. Moreover, truly exquisite cuisine has its own rules for each season, with careful consideration given to what to eat during each time of year.

  Forget it, no need to pursue the ultimate culinary experience, as long as it tastes good. Now that autumn is here, what's good to eat? This season, not too hot or cold, is suitable for nourishment, which is called "autumn nourishment". Eating mutton should be quite good, and Lu Yuan thought of the fragrant mutton, immediately opening his appetite.

  No matter what happens, let's have a hot pot of mutton first.

  Mutton has many ways of eating.

  For example, braised lamb, roasted lamb, I like the most is hot pot lamb, lamb slices are cut with a sword, thin and even like paper, this is the effect of good swordsmanship. This kind of hot pot lamb has thin and even meat slices, diverse seasonings, delicious flavor, and mellow aroma without any gamey smell.

  ……

  "It's really delicious." With chopsticks, Lu Yuan picked up a piece of mutton and savored it to the extreme. Of course, he held his sword in his right hand and chopsticks in his left hand. The reason for holding the sword in his right hand was that there were two big eaters beside him, namely Ye Fang and Ye Yuan.

  Normally can't find these two people, but as soon as delicious food comes out, they are always there.

  Originally, the three people would divide up the good food and basically have to fight over it with swords. In the chaos of fighting over the food, they would each end up with about a third. Now, when the three eat together, they still use their swords to fight over the food, but unfortunately, Lu Yuan's swordsmanship has become much better than Ye Fang and Ye Yuan, so he gets the most.

  "It's unfair! It's unfair!" Ye Fang shouted loudly.

  "Yes, it's extremely unfair." Ye Yuan nodded: "How can this be?"

  "Nonsense, it's not my fault that your sword skills are inferior to mine." Lu Yuanku didn't have the slightest bit of embarrassment. The three of them were birds of a feather, all foodies who would fight over food with their swords at hand: "My sword skills are the strongest, now this is called making reasonable use of one's advantages, get it?"

  "Shameless!" Ye Fang shouted, and Ye Yuan nodded heavily.

  Lu Yuan's face naturally wouldn't fall, and he didn't directly hear the two sworn brothers' shameless shouting.

  At this time, a voice laughed and scolded: "It's you three again."

  Lu Yuan looked back, originally not paying much attention, immediately became serious, the visitor was dressed in white with a white beard and hair, it was Master Li Yuanbai. In front of anyone else, Lu Yuan dared to show a lazy attitude and not welcome them, but when his master was present, he didn't dare do so. Master Li Yuanbai was the person he respected the most: "Greetings, Master."

  Ye Fang and Ye Yuan, who were originally smiling and joking around, suddenly became serious when they saw Li Yuanbai arrive. They cupped their hands together in respect and said: "We've seen Master Li."

  Li Yuanbai smiled and looked at the three of them, seeing youth in their bodies. He valued his disciple Lu Yuan highly, so naturally he had a soft spot for Lu's two good friends: "No need to be too polite, I've come this time to inform you of something. In the Cloudy Valley of North Peak, two Cloud Spirit Beasts have appeared - one is a Cloud Rabbit and the other is a Cloud Cat. I plan to let the ten top True Transmission disciples go collect them, but since there are only two beasts, it's also a test of your abilities."

  Cloud Spirit Beast!

  Lu Yuan, who was still smiling, suddenly felt a tightening in his heart. With three Cloud System Spirit Rabbits on him, he naturally knew the effect of Cloud System Spirit Beasts. The three Cloud System Spirit Rabbits basically doubled his cultivation speed, which was an unimaginable concept.

  Now, unexpectedly, a Cloud Spirit Beast has appeared!

  Cloud and fog mountain valley, on the west side of Beifeng, is a very famous place in Huashan North Peak. There, in the middle of Beifeng, is the mountain valley where clouds accumulate the most. As mentioned earlier, the origin of spiritual beasts, such as cloud spiritual beasts, is formed by the accumulation of years of clouds, and after thousands of years, they will transform into spiritual beasts.

  It is precisely because of this that the cloud system spirit beast is relatively rare.

  It can be said that it is rarely seen and precious to the extreme.

  It turned out to be Beifeng Liu Jian Xian, and there weren't many Yunxi Ling beasts in his hands either.

  This cloud system spirit beast, once possessed, only needs to be fed moderately. The cloud system spirit beast continuously absorbs and spits out the cloud system's primal energy, which can increase the cultivation speed of those practicing the Cloud System Heart Method.

  Now, the North Peak Cloud Mist Mountain Valley has finally produced two Cloud System Spirit Beasts after accumulating for thousands of years. Of course, it's hard to decide who should own these two Cloud System Spirit Beasts. The North Peak Six Swords Immortals and others thought of giving these two Cloud System Spirit Beasts to the tenth generation disciples to help them increase their strength. However, only the top ten true transmission disciples have this privilege; other disciples don't stand a chance. The top ten true transmission disciples already have superior mental methods, sword techniques, elixirs, and various benefits that ordinary disciples can't compare with. Otherwise, Sima Hao wouldn't have plotted to take one of the positions of the tenth generation true transmission disciples from Lu Yuan. Unfortunately, he was beaten back by Lu Yuan, losing face completely, and even Sima Changbai lost face along with him.

  Alright, let's get back to the point. Upon hearing Li Yuanbai say that, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up immediately, and Ye Fang and Ye Yuan also had their eyes light up momentarily before quickly dimming down again. As insiders, they knew their own strengths, which ranked at the bottom among the top ten true disciples. This time, there were only two Cloud System Spirit Beasts, so what chance did they have?

  There will be another update around midnight, and I'll call for recommended votes at that time.
