38: Signing in for two hundred years of cultivation

Inside the flying boat, Ye Ming set up the barbecue grill, then turned to make the seasoning. This seasoning was not ordinary; it had to be made with newly bought second-tier Spirit Medicine. It was the second-tier seasoning used by all the snack stalls in the market, and its taste was extraordinarily fragrant.

"One eight-star grass, one snow ganoderma, and one ten-year-old Spirit Ginseng. Slice them, mix them in, then grind them into powder, and add a spoonful of spirit salt to successfully prepare it!"

Ye Ming looked at the ingredient list in his hand, mumbling the Spirit Medicine needed, then began to prepare it according to the method.

Not long after, Ye Ming successfully prepared the second-tier seasoning. He tasted it, and the flavor was exactly the same as those from the snack stalls.

After making the seasoning, Ye Ming cut a large piece of Earth Armored Dragon meat in the System space, roughly half a person's height. It was enough for him to eat. This was third-tier Yao Beast meat, and only he could eat it. The two Puppets didn't seem to have this function, and there was no need to mention Old Village Chief and the others.

Their Realm was too low to withstand the powerful spiritual energy in the third-tier Yao Beast meat. Even he could only eat a little bit each day.

After taking out a large piece of meat, Ye Ming cut it into small pieces, then skewered the meat with iron skewers he had refined himself, and placed them on the barbecue grill he had made.

The fire used was also the female puppet's Samadhi True Fire. If he used his own, it would probably take ten days to half a month to cook the meat. Only the Golden Core's Samadhi True Fire would work.

Under Ye Ming's command, the female puppet began to adjust the heat, sometimes high, sometimes low, until the aroma of the meat wafted out. Ye Ming quickly sprinkled the seasoning on it.

With a "sizzle."

A super fragrant smell wafted from the roasted meat. Within a mere five breaths, this aroma filled the entire flying boat. If Ye Ming hadn't activated the Formation, the entire street outside would probably be filled with this scent.

"Master, it smells so good!"

Ye Ming picked up a skewer of roasted meat, just about to eat it, when he heard the female puppet's voice. He turned his head and saw the female puppet looking at him with a longing gaze. Her already Cold Beauty face became adorable with this contrast.

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment when he saw this and asked, "Can, can you eat this?"

Under his curious gaze, the female puppet nodded like a chick pecking rice.

"Alright then, you try it. If there are any problems, tell me immediately!"

Ye Ming couldn't bear to refuse the female puppet, so he gave her a skewer of roasted meat, but he was also afraid that something might go wrong, so he reminded her seriously.

The female puppet saw the skewer of roasted meat handed to her by Ye Ming, and a glimmer of light actually flashed in her light red eyes. She thanked Ye Ming very happily, "Thank you, Master. If there are any problems, I will tell Master immediately!"

"Mm, eat!"

Ye Ming nodded slightly, and only then did the female puppet begin to eat.

Soon, this skewer of roasted meat was eaten by the female puppet. During the process, Ye Ming even saw stars in her eyes. She had taste buds!?

Ye Ming suddenly understood. The Puppets obtained through System sign-ins were just like real people. Not only could they eat and learn, but they also had all their parts. No wonder the sensation at the time was so real.

While Ye Ming was lost in thought, the female puppet looked at Ye Ming with a bit of embarrassment, only to find that her master was in a daze.

"Master, Master?"

The female puppet softly called Ye Ming, bringing him back to his senses.

"Oh, oh, if it's good, eat some more!"

Ye Ming said, quickly grabbing a skewer of roasted meat for himself to eat. But his heart was not calm now. It wasn't until he had devoured three skewers that he regained his composure. At this moment, he also remembered the Male Puppet.

"Leng Yan, go call Leng Mo to eat together!"

Upon hearing this, the female puppet immediately ate the entire skewer of roasted meat in her hand, then respectfully replied to Ye Ming, "Yes, Master!"

Because another mouth was added, Ye Ming cut out another ten feet of meat to roast. By the time Ye Ming and the two Puppets had eaten their fill, a day had already passed outside.

The next day, Ye Ming returned to his normal life, but with an added sideline: Alchemy.

He had Pill Furnaces and even a third-tier top-grade Pill Furnace, also from the Seven Fiends Sect. Ye Ming would try to refine a furnace whenever he had nothing to do.

Two months later.

Inside the flying boat, Ye Ming sat cross-legged in a room that he had converted into a simple Pill Refining Room.

In front of Ye Ming was a Pill Furnace, with many first-tier Spirit Medicine placed beside it. He held the book "Summary of a Third-Tier Alchemist's Pill Refining" in his hand.

This time, he was going to refine a first-tier Spirit Gathering Pill. In these two months, he had tried refining it many times. Although he succeeded, he was not satisfied and wanted to refine five pills per furnace.

"Rise!"

After preparing, Ye Ming suddenly opened his eyes, then let out a low shout, using his magic power to suspend the Pill Furnace in mid-air.

Innate True Fire flew from his hand, heating the Pill Furnace from below. When it was almost ready,

Ye Ming threw the Spirit Medicine into the Pill Furnace one by one.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

"Pills formed!"

Ye Ming's voice came from the room, accompanied by a waft of pill fragrance.

Looking at the six Medicinal Pills in the Pill Furnace, Ye Ming's face lit up with joy. He had finally done it. Next, it would be ten pills per furnace!

Afterward, Ye Ming went to refine pills again.

Thus, another year passed... In this year, he had already approached a second-tier Alchemist, which was also attributed to his Five Elements Spiritual Root and his Realm.

Not only that, but his disciple also successfully stepped into the Qi Refining Third Level. When she had her Breakthrough, Ye Ming gave her dozens of Low-Grade Spirit Stones, telling her to Cultivate well.

Wu Yiting was so excited by the Spirit Stones that she couldn't sleep for several days. Her master was too good to her, rewarding her with Spirit Stones even for a small Realm Breakthrough. These Spirit Stones were still a huge sum for her!

She decided she must Cultivate diligently and live up to her master's expectations!

...On the other side.

Inside the flying boat, Ye Ming sat alone in the middle of the main hall. The annual sign-in was approaching, and he was very much looking forward to it.

Half a quarter of an hour later, at twelve o'clock midnight, the System's voice rang out on time.

[Ding, Host has stayed in the Immortal Cultivation World for another year. Would you like to sign in?]

"Sign in!"

[Ding, sign-in successful. Congratulations to Host for obtaining two hundred years of cultivation!]

"Two hundred years of cultivation!"

Ye Ming's heart trembled, followed by ecstasy. He knew it! Since he had signed in for a hundred years of cultivation once, there would definitely be more next time!

These two hundred years of cultivation should be enough to push him to the Peak Golden Core, right? He had a Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root, and a Spirit Gathering Formation with five times the Spiritual Qi. Moreover, the round pill in his Dantian was almost solidified, just one step away from stepping into the Golden Core!

While Ye Ming was ecstatic, the System's prompt sounded again in his mind.

[Please prepare, Host. Two hundred years of cultivation are about to be infused!]

"Come on!"

Ye Ming took a deep breath and ordered the System.

[Ding, two hundred years of cultivation are being infused into Host...]

As soon as the System's voice fell, a powerful and pure spiritual energy appeared out of thin air in Ye Ming's body, and all of it rushed into his round pill.

One minute later.

"Crack~"

A crisp cracking sound emanated from within Ye Ming's body. The outer shell of his round pill shattered, transforming into a glowing, fiery red round pill!
