Chapter 42 The Heavenly Court Doesn't Support Idlers! The Heavenly Emperor's Birthday Banquet! Ferocious Beast Ingredients!
Every single one!
Every beast imprisoned here possesses an aura powerful enough to instantly kill even the so-called 100,000-year-old or 1 million-year-old soul beasts of the Douluo Continent!
Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King wouldn't be enough to fill a tooth gap in this place!
Yue Guan's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.
"This... this..."
"My lord, is this a legion of divine beasts used for battle?"
A single beast of this level could destroy a world, right?
The steward of the court glanced at it casually and said in a flat tone:
"Fighting?"
You're overthinking it.
"The Heavenly Emperor's birthday banquet is in a few days, and these are just ingredients that will be served at that time."
"That's a subspecies of the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix, and its flesh is delicious."
"Those are the descendants of Qiongqi. Although their bloodline is thin, they are still good for making soup."
"Your job is to feed them well and not let them get thin from hunger."
"If it affects the taste, the Heavenly Emperor will be furious and chopping you up wouldn't be enough to compensate for it."
Ingredients?!
Yue Guan was stunned.
Everyone in Douluo Continent was stunned.
Those terrifying beasts, capable of annihilating the entire Douluo Continent with a single breath...
It's just food ingredients?
This is too extravagant! Too cruel! Too outrageous!
The Heavenly Court official stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Yue Guan's naive and unsophisticated expression, and casually pointed to the area shrouded in the array ahead.
"See that?"
"That's a rare pig."
"This kind of pig was specially bred by the Heavenly Court for birthday banquets. Its meat is tender and melts in your mouth. Most importantly..."
The steward paused, his tone dismissive.
"They're not very bright."
"Even if they have cultivation, their intelligence is extremely low. In addition, there are Great Saint-level formations protecting them all around, so you don't need to worry about them hurting you."
Yue Guan stared blankly at the so-called "rare pig".
What kind of pig is that?
Each one was as large as a mountain, its body shrouded in dazzling rosy light, and as it breathed out, clouds and mist churned.
The aura emanating from them was enough to crush Bibi Dong to the ground, no matter which one of them you picked.
That's it?
Weak intelligence?
Specially cultivated ingredients?
On the Douluo Continent side, everyone fell silent.
Although they were mentally prepared, hearing the words "specially trained" still made them feel suffocated.
They raise creatures comparable to gods like pigs.
Is this the true essence of the world of Shrouding the Heavens?
The steward ignored Yue Guan's shock and casually tossed him a jade slip.
"Take it."
"This is the Beast Taming Technique."
"Looking at your build, you definitely can't go toe-to-toe with these beasts."
"This technique has only one move, called 'The Hand of Rejuvenating All Things'."
Yue Guan hurriedly caught the jade slip and asked cautiously:
"My lord, what are the wondrous uses of this incantation?"
The steward glanced at him, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"It's not very useful."
"It's something that can make these beasts' hearts flutter with lust and their moods uplifted."
"When meat is in a good mood, it will naturally be more delicious and grow faster."
"Your daily task is to go in and massage them to keep them in a state of high excitement."
Yue Guan's expression froze.
Springtime feelings... stirring?
To make a dignified titled Douluo and Elder of Spirit Hall give massages to a bunch of pigs?
To liven things up?
"This..."
Yue Guan's face flushed red, and his hand holding the jade slip trembled.
This is so embarrassing!
If this were to spread back to Douluo Continent, wouldn't his lifelong reputation as "Yue Douluo" be ruined?
Under the sky.
The audience of Douluo Continent was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! That's hilarious!"
"Chrysanthemum Douluo has become a pig farmer?"
"And you're also responsible for feeding the pig... that?"
"The Hand That Brings Back Spring to All Things? That name sounds rather unreliable!"
Ghost Douluo covered his face, not daring to look at the sky.
That's so embarrassing.
That's so embarrassing.
Yue Guan gritted his teeth, feeling a hundred times unwilling.
"My lord, I have come to seek the Great Dao, not to..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
The steward frowned, seemingly a little impatient.
"Why so much nonsense?"
"The Heavenly Court does not support idlers."
"If you can't do a good job, get out."
As he spoke, the steward flicked his wrist.
A pill the size of a fingernail, perfectly round, and emitting a faint medicinal fragrance, floated lightly into Yue Guan's hand.
"This is an advance payment for your earnings."
"One Qi Gathering Pill."
"Although it's the lowest-grade waste pill, it's still usable for someone with your mortal body."
"If you raise the pigs well, there will be a reward later."
Yue Guan initially wanted to refuse.
I wouldn't do this kind of job that insults my dignity, no matter how much money they offer!
But the moment that pill landed in his palm...
A rich, potent life force penetrated the body through the pores.
Yue Guan's body trembled.
Just by smelling the fragrance of the pill, the bottleneck in his soul power that had been stagnant for many years actually... loosened?
"This..."
Yue Guan's eyes widened, his throat dry.
Without any hesitation.
He put the pill directly into his mouth.
Boom!
The elixir melts instantly upon entering the mouth.
The violent medicinal power exploded instantly, turning into a raging torrent that surged wildly through his meridians.
...
Almost in the blink of an eye.
The aura emanating from Yue Guan rose steadily, and the previously insurmountable barrier of the titled Douluo was instantly shattered like paper in the face of this medicinal power.
Level 99!
Limit Douluo!
And it's still climbing!
The soul power within his body is undergoing a qualitative change, with a faint trace of divine power flowing through it.
Demigod?
No!
This is incredibly close to the threshold of becoming a god at level 100!
He can take that step anytime he wants!
Yue Guan suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of light shot out.
He was stunned by the terrifying power within his body.
A single pill?
Just one so-called "useless pill"?
Did this directly save him from hundreds of years of arduous cultivation, allowing him to ascend to the heavens in one step?
The steward looked at Yue Guan's excited expression and curled his lip in disdain.
"Alright, stop looking like you've never seen anything like this before."
"Hurry up and refine the medicinal power, don't delay the work."
Yue Guan took a deep breath, suddenly raised his head, and there was no trace of reluctance on his face.
That old face, covered in makeup, was now beaming with a smile brighter than a chrysanthemum.
He gripped the jade slip tightly, his eyes as resolute as a saint who would dedicate his life to the pig farming business.
"Rest assured, sir!"
"From today onwards, these pigs are my real fathers!"
Who says raising pigs is bad?
"I want to raise it for a hundred years! No! I want to raise it for a thousand years!"
"Anyone who dares to stop me, I'll fight them!"
Douluo Continent.
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Everyone gaped, their jaws dropping to the floor.
A deathly silence.
After a long while, a series of swallowing sounds were heard.
"Holy crap?"
"Level 99?"
"One pill and he's a Limit Douluo?"
"I want to raise pigs too!"
"Don't stop me! I can give massages too! I can make even a pig's heart flutter!"
