Chapter 1331: Chapter 1332: Hosting a Banquet, Eating Dragon Meat!

That evening.

On the Second Peak of the Sword Sect, a lavish banquet was set up. Among all the cultivators who had come to pay their respects, only the Second Elder from Ice Dragon Island was invited to stay. This elder was different from the other sect cultivators; having traveled from the distant Northern Continent, his initiative to seek allegiance with the Sword Sect spoke volumes of his sincerity. He deserved to be treated well.

Li Xiaobai took out the dragon meat that had been stored in his storage ring for a long time, and spread it among the guests. It was the flesh and blood of Ice Dragon Island’s genius, Long Aotian, as well as the former physical body of the Great Elder of Ice Dragon Island, which had been sliced into thin pieces by Ying Diao’s Sword Intent and served in bowls.

A hundred jars of Dragon Blood Dew were placed in the open air, exuding a rich vitality. Merely the fragrance was enough to make one feel refreshed and invigorated, as if their blood was boiling, as if they were battling on the battlefield.

“Damn it, motherfucker, keep your mouths smaller, you lot, with your measly cultivation levels, dare to eat so much?”

“Do you know what meat this is? This damn thing is dragon meat, the flesh of a Heavenly Immortal Realm genius. One bite could burst you, be careful you can’t refine the essence and energy!”

Ergouzi stood on two legs, holding a large chunk of meat in his mouth and guarding an entire dragon tail with his front paws, baring his teeth comically at any cultivator around who wanted to share the feast.

In reality, the tail being tough and hard to chew wasn’t particularly delicious, but Ergouzi insisted on calling it a dragon whip, claiming it had effects similar to that of a tiger’s whip. He was determined to devour an entire one.

Li Xiaobai was speechless about this. Instead of indulging in the truly delicious broth or bathing in dragon blood, Ergouzi fixated on eating such things. Li Xiaobai could only contemptuously think to himself that Ergouzi lacked ambition.

“Hehehe, you guys don’t understand this!”

“You’re still too green!”

Ergouzi drooled with greed, taking bites with a silly grin all over his face.

Ji Wuqing rolled her eyes in disdain. She could not compliment this darn dog’s taste. Wasn’t gnawing on a dragon leg a more delicious option?

“The essence in this dragon meat is too strong, even cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal Realm shouldn’t consume too much!”

An old beggar chewed with his mouth full, muttering unclearly.

Even when just biting into the Heavenly Immortal Realm dragon meat, he felt his body swelling, that was the Bloodline Power within the dragon meat, with its exceptionally pure essence and energy, refining it would bring endless benefits, and an increase in cultivation level was inevitable.

It was hard to imagine how domineering the meat of a dragon of the Saint Realm would be. With their current levels of cultivation, probably just one bite would make them explode instantly, right?

The other cultivators also showed similar expressions and gestures, with happy smiles on their faces, though their bodies did not dare to relax. Each Disciple-level cultivator’s bowl contained only a thin slice of dragon meat. After taking a bite, they immediately started to cultivate, only biting again after refining the essence and energy within their bodies.

The dragon meat was extremely beneficial for enhancing cultivation level. If it were said that a bathhouse could gradually increase the Immortal Yuan Power within the body, then consuming such a large piece of dragon meat and completely refining it could greatly enhance one’s cultivation level, with each bite leading to a massive surge in cultivation.

Many Sect Disciples attained sudden enlightenment at that moment, breaking through their realms on the spot, with powerful and sharp auras bursting forth and golden light shooting up to the sky.

Atop the mountain, in a distant garden, ninety-nine children sat around an old turtle, taking alternate bites with relish. They were filled with vigor, mouths dripping with oil, surrounded by a dispersing aura of Immortal radiance, and an awe-inspiring Immortal presence, yet these little tots were completely unaffected.

Despite having no cultivation level, their appetites were even grander than those of cultivators in the third realm of Immortality, eating dragon meat without pause.

“Husband, do try some!”

Long Xue took on the role of a maidservant, beginning to serve plates to Li Xiaobai, Ying Diao, and the others. The plates were generously filled with dragon meat, from the most essence-rich part of the dragon’s body–the heart. It was where the blood essence was most abundant, and in the entire place, only Li Xiaobai and Ying Diao, both of the Saint Realm cultivation level, could afford to eat it.

“This thing is of little use to me, Sect Master, you should eat more.”

Li Xiaobai carelessly took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, mumbling indistinctly, completely indifferent to the terrifying power contained within the flesh. As the dragon meat reached his stomach, a horrific vitality rampaged through his body, smashing against the meridian network.

[Attribute Points +30,000,000…]

Impressive in power, but sadly not enough to breach his defense at the Saint Realm.

After a thunderous rumble in his lower abdomen, all was calm again. Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone around, Li Xiaobai burped contentedly, patted his own stomach, and wore a look of utter comfort on his face.

“This dragon meat is really powerful!”

“Er…”

“Sect Master Li truly is an Immortal!”

“Sect Master Li is unrivaled, truly worthy of being the one who defeated the Blood Demon Sect!”

“With Sect Master Li guarding our Sword Sect, we are impregnable!”

“How could these insignificant Demon Path rabble ever come close to our Sword Sect’s Sect Master Li!”

The surrounding Elders couldn’t help but praise the scene before them; had they not witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t dare to even dream of it – that their Sword Sect could possess such a divine being, and furthermore, this divine being was once a Disciple of their sect, what a fortunate event for their sect’s threshold!

Ying Diao, standing to the side, followed suit and imitated Li Xiaobai’s actions, picking up a piece of dragon meat and swallowing it whole without even chewing.

He thought there was no reason he, a Saint Realm powerhouse, couldn’t do what Li Xiaobai did. Watching the compliments from the crowd of Elders, he felt slightly indignant, but in the next second, his face changed.

Once the dragon meat entered his stomach, it exploded like a landslide and tsunami, with the terrifying and fierce vitality scattering wildly, ravaging his organs. In just an instant, Ying Diao’s throat turned sweet, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood with a muffled hum.

Hurriedly sitting cross-legged, he began to calm his body and mind, slowly refining the vitality that was about to explode inside him.

“How is this possible? Even I was nearly injured; why does he act as if nothing’s wrong?”

Ying Diao screamed in his heart, but on the surface, he remained calm, closing his eyes and meditating as if an old monk had entered meditation. Li Xiaobai, with a cultivation level that’s not even in the Saint Realm, swallowed a piece of dragon meat and was completely unharmed, whereas he, a genuine Saint Realm powerhouse, nearly burst, which seemed somewhat unreasonable!

“Sect Master Ying, truly an Immortal!”

“To swallow such a large piece of dragon meat without changing his expression, truly a Saint Realm powerhouse!”

“That’s the kind of spirit a Sect Master should have. With two masters like the Peak Master and Sect Master of our Sword Sect, we are sure to establish a legacy that will last for all eternity!”

The surrounding Elders saw Ying Diao also swallowed a whole huge piece of True Dragon flesh without batting an eyelid, and their eyes were also filled with admiration; worthy of being the Sect Master, truly fierce!

Puffing up his cheeks to hide his pain, Ying Diao forced a cheerful tone and said, “Hehe, that was nothing special, just eating a piece of meat, Elders, don’t stand on ceremony. Please, help yourselves. Today is a day for our Sword Sect to celebrate and rejoice together, no need to worry about anything!”
