65: Chapter 65: A Rain of Red Rain Falls from the Sky, and the Birth of the First Pack of "Spicy Strips" in the Cultivation World

Above the Heavenly River Sword Sect, there is now a bloody spectacle.

Beelzebub, the gluttonous demon god stuck in the heavenly gate, is like a huge, ugly plug, not only blocking the path to the Immortal Realm but also bringing a continuous "red rain" to the Southern Wilderness.

That is the blood of the demon god.

Beelzebub's consciousness has fallen into a coma, but the wounds on its body, blasted open by the "tianhe vessel" directional thrusters (which is its own butt), are still dripping with scalding demon blood.

"Sizzle... Sizzle..."

The blood rain falling on the ground doesn't make a crisp rain sound, but the burning sound of grease dripping into a fire.

In just one night.

A five-hundred-mile radius around the Heavenly River Sword Sect has completely turned into a devilish land where flesh and blood grow.

The originally green ancient pines have peeled off their bark, revealing fresh red muscle texture underneath, and the twisted branches have turned into pulsating blood vessels.

The wild grass on the ground has grown fine teeth, hissing like a group of hungry snakes.

Even the rocks in the mountains have become warm and soft, feeling like the internal organs of some giant beast.

Here, it has become a spine-chilling — 【Flesh Forest】.

"I can't hold on! Mr. Li, I really can't hold on anymore!"

A Shadow Sect Disciple responsible for perimeter security scrambled back to the plaza, his face full of the terror of a survivor.

He used to be a top assassin walking in the darkness, but now he looks like a terrified sanitation worker.

"That forest is alive! It's moving!"

"Just now I went to wipe the dust off the surface of the solar array, and a pine tree actually stretched out tentacles to molest me!"

"And those mutated rabbits! Each one has grown eight-pack abs! One punch! Just one punch! My Protective Aura shattered like paper!"

In the plaza, all the Cultivators looked at the blood-red forest that was still slowly squirming and expanding in the distance, and everyone's complexion turned gray.

This is an ecological disaster!

It is an alien species invasion from the abyss!

"What are you panicking about?"

On the broadcast, Li Mo's voice came through the amplification talisman array, as calm as ever, even mixed with a hint of... satisfaction from inspecting his own pasture.

"According to the 'Law of Conservation of Energy', energy cannot be created or destroyed out of thin air."

"The reason those trees grow muscles is because they have fully absorbed the 'high-energy protein liquid' falling from the sky, which is the blood of the demon god."

"In other words..."

On the bow of the flying ship, Li Mo was standing in front of a high-magnification microscope conjured by an "Optics" Spell.

He held a "flesh branch" just cut from the forest, used a scalpel to precisely cut a thin-as-cicada-wing sample, and placed it under the lens for observation.

"This is not a monster forest at all."

He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the high-level officials behind him who had been completely led astray by him.

"This is a pure natural, open-air, fully automatic, and unbelievably productive..."

"Meat processing plant."

Li Mo put down the scalpel and began to issue orders methodically.

"Gu Canghai!"

"Disciple is here!"

"Stop farming with the people. Notify the logistics department to change equipment for everyone, bring the 'Slaughter-01 Type' cutting Magical Artifact, and we are going to 'harvest'."

"Lei Wanjun!"

"Disciple is here!"

"Pause the generator set. Immediately mobilize all resources and build me a ten-thousand-ton large-scale talisman cold storage as fast as possible! Such good meat, letting it rot is a blasphemy against the gift of the gods."

"Kong Mengchang!"

"This old man is here!"

"Bring your group of Confucian scholars and establish the 'Food Safety and Quality Supervision Department'. Use your Vast Righteous Qi to perform 'aseptic treatment' and 'demon qi purification' on every piece of meat."

"I announce!"

"The second pillar industry of the Heavenly River Sword Sect — 【Tianhe Food Group】, is officially established today!"

...

Half an hour later.

The edge of the Flesh Forest.

The horrific forbidden zone that was creepy not long ago has now turned into a bustling open-air slaughterhouse.

"One, two, three! Cut!"

A group of Shadow Sect Disciples, each holding a modified, buzzing high-frequency vibrating butcher knife, were struggling to cut around a "pork belly tree" that was still twisting its waist.

"Ouch! This tree meat is quite chewy!"

A Disciple shouted excitedly, his face full of the surprise of discovering a new continent, "This meat quality is tighter than the tenderloin of the eighth-order demon Dragon lizard I ate in the abyss! It's all lean meat!"

"Be careful! Don't break that layer of skin!"

Nearby, a steward of the logistics department was shouting loudly, "That is top-grade 'tree bark collagen', it is a great tonic when boiled into soup! It must be peeled off in one piece!"

Not far away, several white-robed Confucian scholars sat upright, chanting words at piles of freshly cut meat.

"The Master said: 'Food cannot be too refined, and minced meat cannot be too finely chopped'..."

Circles of soft white light brushed over the meat with the chanting, and the black abyssal Devilish Qi entangled in it instantly melted like snow meeting the sun, leaving only the purest flesh and blood energy, emitting bursts of tempting meaty aroma.

And at the end of the entire rudimentary production line.

Li Mo was wearing a white chef's hat that appeared from nowhere, and a giant oil pan with a diameter of three meters was set up in front of him.

The oil was refined edible-grade "Ancient God Brand Crude Oil".

The fire was "controllable Hell gentle fire" exhaled by the abyss prisoners in turns.

"The energy density is high enough, but the muscle fibers are a bit thick, and the taste is a bit dry."

Li Mo tasted a small piece of freshly fried meat strip and frowned slightly.

"The heat is fine, so the marinating process is lacking."

He pondered for a moment and took out a sealed jade bottle from his arms.

In the bottle was red powder.

This was the "supercritical extracted high-purity capsaicin" he refined using "Chemistry", mixed with the "addictive spice formula" in "Alchemy" — actually, it was a golden ratio mixture of MSG, umami nucleotides, and more than a dozen spices.

He named it, "Soul No. 1".

"Sprinkle the Soul!"

Whoosh — The red powder poured into the hot oil pan like an evening glow.

Boom!

An indescribable domineering aroma exploded like a bomb!

The smell was so overbearing that it penetrated everyone's Protective Aura, grabbed their nasal cavities, strangled their throats, and then scratched their Souls hard!

Smelling the first time, the mouth watered.

Smelling the second time, the stomach thundered.

Smelling the third time, everyone had only one thought in their minds: If I don't eat a bite, I have lived this life in vain!

"Out of the pan!"

Li Mo waved a huge colander and scooped up a large handful of meat strips that were fried golden and crispy and evenly coated with red oil.

"This item, I name it — 【Abyss Demon God Brand · Extra Spicy · Cultivation spicy strips】."

"Come, which warrior wants to be the first to eat crab?"

The audience was silent.

Although the aroma almost hooked people's Souls away, thinking that this stuff was cut from that kind of squirming flesh monster tree, no one dared to step forward.

"Roar?" (What is that delicious thing?)

In the corner, an abyss octopus prisoner locked in a special cage stared fixedly at the spicy strips in Li Mo's hand, drooling all over the floor, forming a small stream.

Li Mo smiled and casually flicked a Spicy Strip over.

The octopus accurately caught it with a tentacle and stuffed it into its mouth without thinking.

Crunch... Chew chew chew...

Suddenly.

The octopus's eight eyes widened instantly.

Its tentacles began to tremble wildly and at high speed, and its originally gray skin instantly swelled into an excited tide red.

"Roar!!!!" (Delicious!!!)

"Roar roar roar roar roar!!!" (Too delicious! What kind of fairy taste is this! It's ten thousand times more delicious than devouring Souls!)

The octopus let out the happiest roar of its life.

Then, a majestic black light rushed into the sky from its body. Because of the extreme delicious experience, it was so excited that it broke through its cultivation Bottleneck on the spot!

"Holy shit?!"

"Eat a snack... and advanced on the spot?!"

At this moment, the rational defense line of all Cultivators completely collapsed.

"Mr. Li! Give me one! Please!"

"Don't grab! I am a Sect Elder! I apply for priority tasting rights!"

"Mr. Li! I offer one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones! Buy a pack! No! One!"

The scene instantly got out of control.

When the first batch of Cultivators tremblingly put the "spicy strips" full of explosive energy and extremely addictive taste into their mouths, they collectively fell.

Where is this a snack?

This is clearly a Medicinal Pill!

And it is the kind of Peerless Grade Immortal Pill that doesn't need to sit cross-legged and practice hard, but can increase cultivation by chewing!

"So delicious... woo woo woo... so spicy... but... but I can't stop at all..."

Former Inspector of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, a dignified discipline inspection committee director, was now crying with snot and tears without any image, stomping his feet while being spicy, and stuffing them into his mouth frantically.

"So this... this is the true meaning of 'pain and happiness'?"

Looking at the grand occasion of the whole Sect "taking drugs" in the square, Li Mo took off his chef's apron with satisfaction.

"Very good."

"Internal demand has been successfully detonated."

"Next, it's time to consider exporting to earn foreign exchange."

He looked up at the "huge raw material supplier" in the sky that was still diligently dripping blood.

"This is sustainable clean energy."

"As long as Beelzebub is stuck there for one day, our spicy strips factory will never stop working."

"And..."

Li Mo's gaze turned to the distant abyss portal (now changed to a dedicated channel for garbage disposal).

"Since the monsters in the abyss like to eat so much..."

"Can we consider using this small Spicy Strip to trade for some hard currency like minerals and Souls in the abyss?"

"This is called — cultural export, and taste bud colonization."

...

Meanwhile.

Above the Heavenly Gate, in the Immortal Realm.

A group of silver-armored Immortal Generals were surrounding the huge demon god butt that squeezed out from the crack of the door, all of them burned out.

"How is it? Did you pull it out?"

"Report to the Divine General, can't pull it! It's stuck too tightly!"

"This demon god's skin is too thick! My 'Armor-Piercing Immortal Sword' slashed on it, and it didn't even leave a white mark!"

A Divine General wearing golden armor, whose aura was clearly several levels higher than the previous scavenger, stared at the culprit who blocked the gate of the Immortal Realm, trembling with anger.

"What kind of monster is this?! Why does it have such an outrageous butt?!"

"And..."

The Golden-Armored Divine General suddenly sniffed, frowning.

"Did you smell it?"

"Seems like there is a... very unique aroma, wafting up from the Lower Realm?"

That was the aroma of Li Mo's specially made "Soul No. 1", which was stubbornly and persistently drilling into the Immortal Realm along the gap between the demon god's butt and the Heavenly Gate frame.

A few Immortal soldiers with shallow cultivation smelled this scent and couldn't help but uncontrollably roll their Adam's apples and swallow their saliva.

"So... so fragrant... Is this some new tribute from the mortal world?"

"I... I suddenly feel that the Bigu Pill in my hand has no taste at all..."

The Golden-Armored Divine General was furious: "Concentrate! Everyone, stabilize your Dao Heart for this general! This is the turbid Qi of the Lower Realm! It is the temptation of the Heart Demon!"

As soon as the words fell.

The demon god butt that had been stuck tightly and motionless suddenly trembled violently.

Because...

In the Lower Realm, Li Mo was ordering people to hold a spear, with a ten-meter-long "extra-large Supreme spicy strips" just out of the pan on the tip of the spear, reaching in front of the small tip of the tongue hanging from Beelzebub's mouth.

"Want to eat?"

Li Mo's voice was full of demonic temptation.

"If you want to eat..."

"Then move yourself."

"Roar..." (Want... to... eat...)

Beelzebub's remaining instincts were awakened by that extreme aroma.

In order to get that bite of peerless deliciousness, it used the most powerful willpower since its birth, desperately contracting its whole body's muscles.

Especially, the sphincter.

This contraction.

The Heavenly Gate, which was originally stuck as if grown together, actually made a "creak" sound and showed a slight loosening.

"No! It moved!"

The Golden-Armored Divine General was terrified, "It's going to squeeze in completely!"

"No! Divine General, look!" An sharp-eyed Immortal General exclaimed, "It is going to... go out!"

Under the astonished gaze of the Immortals in the Immortal Realm, Beelzebub, in order to eat the spicy strips below, actually relied on its own strength to "pull" itself out of the door frame by several inches!

And it was this few inches of gap.

That let the overbearing and unparalleled spicy strips aroma, like a bursting flood, completely pour into the Immortal Realm.

This day.

Countless high-and-mighty Immortals who lived on Immortal Qi realized for the first time the dimensionality reduction strike from the mortal world's "technology and ruthless techniques".

That taste became their deepest longing in their midnight dreams, and also the most terrifying... Heart Demon.
