260: The front line is becoming increasingly chaotic

Kumu Daoren was still a Sheep Demon, and after such an intense battle, he still hadn't died.

On one hand, his strength was inherently formidable; various Yao Race dietary supplements had made his physique extremely robust, making it difficult for attacks of the same Realm to break through his defenses.

On the other hand, he was incredibly cautious. When entering a new area, he would always send his obedient Disciples in first to scout, only entering once he confirmed there were no Golden Core methods present.

Formidable strength plus caution allowed Kumu Daoren to survive consistently and further improve his Cultivation.

"Master!"

Da Quan Knight, having transformed into a Fire Wolf Demon, radiated heat. He looked at Kumu Daoren with eyes full of admiration: "Master, isn't the race I chose this time awesome?"

The Fire Wolf Demon consumed 1 reincarnation point. This race possessed a robust Physical Body and could naturally breathe fire, making the Cultivation of various fire-attribute spells twice as effective.

Kumu Daoren recalled the culinary arts he had researched; the Fire Wolf Demon was indeed recorded among them. Not only was its taste spicy and unique, but the heat radiating from its entire body could perfectly fuse other ingredients with itself, making it an excellent main dish.

"Not bad, Disciple, the race you chose is very excellent."

Kumu Daoren spared no praise, even handing Da Quan Knight a storage ring: "These are basic Cultivation resources for the Qi Refining Realm. Use them as quickly as possible, don't be stingy with your Lifespan, and try to Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Qi Refining as fast as you can."

"Master..."

Da Quan Knight's eyes welled up with tears.

Not only did his Master not think his skills were lacking or that he died too frequently, but he even prepared Qi Refining spiritual resources, allowing him to quickly return to his Peak after restarting.

Where could he find such a good Master?

For a moment, the bullet screen in the live stream also filled with messages, all expressing envy:

"Damn, how did the streamer manage to find such a good Master?"

"I also took a Master, but that person killed me without a word, wanting to use me for dietary supplements. It scared me so much that I didn't dare to team up after restarting."

"The streamer really got lucky, finding such a kind Master."

It must be said that Kumu Daoren's approach was very deceptive.

As an Evil Cultivator who had lived through the Great Love Sect era, Kumu Daoren understood many Evil Cultivator methods and naturally knew that ordinary people were also aware of these methods.

Ordinary players were becoming increasingly wary of Evil Cultivators; directly luring and killing them could easily expose him and lead to him being ganged up on.

But what if he consistently showed himself as a righteous gentleman before his opponents died?

Then who could say whether he was an Evil Cultivator or of the Righteous Path?

As for why these Disciples had such a high mortality rate... don't ask, just say they're bad.

Da Quan Knight consumed Lifespan and resources, returning to the Peak of Qi Refining.

Soon, he received a mission from his Master to scout a certain area.

It was a canyon area with towering strange rocks, and after the Demon Body left, many eerie green vines grew, forming a unique ecosystem with the rugged yellowish-brown strange rocks.

Da Quan Knight and several of his Senior Brothers entered and soon saw several Human Race Cultivators.

Without a word, both sides immediately began fighting, with spells constantly flying and roars echoing.

After everything settled down, the Human Race Cultivators were tragically dead, and Da Quan Knight's side had the upper hand, but two Yao Race members had also died.

Da Quan Knight and the survivors continued deeper.

Just as they left, Kumu Daoren suddenly appeared and collected the bodies of the two dead Yao Race members.

As he was about to leave, he abruptly stopped, frowning deeply and looking in one direction with surprise.

A Human Race Cultivator in a white robe leaped out, collecting the bodies of the dead Human Race Cultivators.

Kumu Daoren looked at him, frowning: "You don't seem to be an Evil Cultivator? Then why are you collecting bodies?"

The Cultivator looked at Kumu Daoren and chuckled: "You're not an Evil Cultivator either, so why are you collecting bodies?"

Kumu Daoren was greatly alarmed: "Could it be that the Dao of cooking also has a Human Race chapter?"

The Cultivator smiled proudly: "Of course! With so many races in the Xuanhuan World, if the Yao Race can be eaten, why can't the Human Race?"

Kumu Daoren was filled with doubt: "Can they really be eaten? But aren't all Human Race the same, with nothing special about their bodies?"

The Yao Race could be used for dietary supplements because their physiques were inherently different, and their flesh and blood contained immense potential.

As for the Human Race, even Evil Cultivators only refined their flesh and blood into resources like Evil Qi, or like Buddhist Cultivator, utilized their Souls; they rarely gnawed on Human Race bodies.

Because Human Race bodies were truly trash.

"This is where you're uninformed."

The Cultivator smiled smugly, as if showing off: "Ordinary Mortals and Cultivators, of course, are not worthy of being put into a pot as ingredients.

"But if one achieves an Immortal Foundation, they immediately become a good dish, and that Immortal Foundation is incredibly delicious..." And Qi Refining Cultivators, as long as they Cultivate special Cultivation Techniques, their internal spiritual liquid can also be wonderfully exquisite, making for an excellent drink.

"There are even some Cultivation Techniques that allow Cultivators to refine themselves into precious medicinal materials or delicious ingredients.

"Tsk tsk, this is a profound field of study!"

Kumu Daoren nodded repeatedly:

"Live and learn, as expected, as long as one is willing to delve into it, such sinister methods emerge endlessly.

"Fellow Daoist, can we exchange secret methods? I'll trade my knowledge of Yao Race cooking methods for your Human Race cooking methods and the corresponding techniques for refining humans into food?"

The Cultivator rolled his eyes, weighing the pros and cons, then politely shook his head: "That won't do. Yao Race cooking methods are everywhere on the market now; they're no longer valuable.

"But my Human Race cooking methods, and the accompanying techniques for refining humans into ingredients, can fetch a high price."

Kumu Daoren frowned, instinctively wanting to attack.

But a spiritual light emanated from the other party, and a protective shield formed from Spiritual Qi appeared, looking very sturdy.

The other party was clearly prepared and not afraid of being ambushed.

Having no choice, Kumu Daoren could only let him leave.

"Alas, I never thought there were so many methods to research in the culinary arts.

"Not only do I need to harvest ingredients for cooking, but I even need to Cultivate the ingredients myself.

"How wonderful it would be if I could also Master such methods."

Kumu Daoren sighed.

At this moment, another streak of light flashed by, and a Foundation Establishment Cultivator descended. He glanced at Kumu Daoren, his eyes lighting up:

"Hey! Sheep Demon! Come be my mount!"

The Cultivator unleashed a Sword Qi, gripping two swords, and immediately clashed with Kumu Daoren.

"Mount? Get lost!"

Kumu Daoren was enraged and quickly used his Cultivation Technique to fight.

Soon after, Kumu Daoren ultimately proved to be more skilled and successfully repelled the Cultivator.

But at the same time, he also suffered considerable injuries.

"The Xuanhuan World is getting more and more chaotic now. There are those who kill for treasures, those who capture people for dietary supplements, those who capture demons as mounts; truly all kinds of people exist..." It seems I still need to be more careful and try to leave things to my Disciples..."
