You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

"call!"

Chen Yang took a deep breath and composed himself.

The thought returned.

Since I started using spiritual energy, I feel that using it purely makes things easier and more enjoyable.

He came to his senses and went to the French windows.

Before I knew it, it was already around 8 p.m.

Outside the window, the lights were dazzling.

As expected of Kyoto, this is the liveliest time of day.

In addition, he was in a busy area, so he saw even more people and vehicles.

"Gulu!"

As he stared in fascination, his stomach began to rumble.

Even after absorbing spirit stones, it still doesn't keep me from getting hungry for a long time?
Or is it because you just practiced the Zhengyang Heart Method and exhausted yourself?

It must be from the depletion of energy during cultivation.

Chen Yang made a judgment.

Logically speaking, absorbing spirit stones is equivalent to eating spirit flesh, and the effect is much faster than eating meat.

However, I still feel a bit hungry, which means that cultivating the mental techniques takes a toll on my body.

Chen Yang composed himself and returned to the bedside.

Put your coat on.

He then went out.

Soon we reached the end of the corridor.

"Mr. Chen, where are we going?"

Do you need us to do it for you?

It was as if Jiang He's assistant had been waiting for him to come out here.

Upon seeing Chen Yang, they politely came over to greet him.

"No need, I'll just go for a walk."

"Did you wait for me on purpose?"

Chen Yang shook his head and asked with interest.

If that's true, Jiang He has really gone to great lengths.

She was already overwhelmed with work herself, and she still had to arrange everything for him.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, you don't need to mind."

"Don't be shy, we're all on the same side."

"If you need anything, just let me know."

The assistant nodded and smiled, "We have plenty of manpower here; after all, this is right on our own doorstep."

"Everything is very convenient."

"okay!"

Chen Yang nodded, but still shook his head and patted his assistant: "However, I just want to go for a walk. I've been here for a while now, and it feels too stuffy."

"Do you need me to show you the way?"

The assistant was very considerate and offered to lead the way for Chen Yang.

"No need, you all go ahead and do your work!"

"I'll call you if I need anything!"

As Chen Yang spoke, he took out his phone and said, "Call me and let me know."

"That's...ok."

The assistant had no choice; he couldn't argue with Chen Yang anyway: "136..."

Finally, he gave Chen Yang his mobile phone number.

"Okay, I'll contact you if I need anything!"

"You can rest assured now."

Chen Yang waved to him and then went to the elevator.

"Mr. Chen, you must contact me!"

The assistant was still a little worried.

However, Chen Yang insisted, and he felt embarrassed to keep following him.

All I can do is keep reminding you.

Chen Yang waved again and finally got on the elevator.

In no time at all, they arrived at the hotel entrance.

The banquet has ended.

The place has returned to its usual quiet, with only a few people coming to eat here and there.

He looked outside and saw that the area outside the hotel had changed drastically.

Even the luxury cars we saw when we arrived are nowhere to be seen.

Clearly, all of these people have already left.

He stretched and then went straight down the steps.

I headed down a road.

As they walked, they searched for a place to eat.

Now, he doesn't have high demands; he just wants to fill his stomach.

However, after visiting several places, I didn't sense any spiritual flesh or spirit.

These places with a spiritual aura are usually located in the suburbs or nearby areas.

Since there's nothing else to do, why not try our luck in the suburbs? At least we can fill our stomachs.

Although spirit stones are available now, their quantity is limited.

Wasting one means losing one more.

He would never use it indiscriminately unless absolutely necessary.

Chen Yang made up his mind, then went to the road and hailed a taxi.

I finally managed to steal a moment of leisure from my busy schedule, so I'll take a stroll around the outskirts of Kyoto today.

"Sir, where are you going?"

The driver saw him get into the car and asked with a smile.

"Which suburban areas around here have both mountains and water?"

Chen Yang sat down and asked curiously.

"Mountains and water?"

After hearing his words, the driver began to consider it.

After a while, he suddenly asked with a smile, "Sir, are you going on a trip?"

"No, I want to go to a place with mountains and rivers to taste the local delicacies!"

Chen Yang stated his needs directly.

That means we should go eat.

"Oh, I see!"

"You want to eat wild game, don't you!"

The driver, being an experienced person himself, immediately understood his intention.

"Yes, yes! That's right!"

"Just take me there!"

Chen Yang nodded repeatedly and told the driver to start the car.

"okay!"

The driver readily agreed.

He then stepped on the gas and sped away.

Another half hour passed, and the car gradually slowed down.

At this point, Chen Yang could already see the mountain road.

"Sir, look at this generation!"

The driver gestured to Chen Yang and then said, "They're all farmhouses."

"Full of wild flavor~ You can go to whichever restaurant you like."

"it is good!"

"Let's park here then!"

Through the car window, Chen Yang also saw many farmhouses and guesthouses.

The wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys were clearly visible even under the lamplight.

This is truly a wonderful place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

He could even vaguely see spiritual energy swirling around the place.

It's just that it's very thin.

"okay!"

The driver immediately stopped the car.

Chen Yang paid by scanning the QR code, then opened the door and got out of the car.

After greeting the driver, I headed towards the farmhouse.

There are indeed quite a few farmhouses here, several of them lined up side by side.

Chen Yang had no intention of going.

Instead, they focused their attention on the farmhouses located at the very front, halfway up the mountain.

After carefully examining it, I went straight up.

Finally, we arrived at the doorstep of one of the houses.

I squinted slightly, sensing the ethereal atmosphere of this farmhouse inn.

Clearly, there are people in his family who possess both spiritual and physical attributes.

"Hey buddy, what would you like to eat?"

A man who looked like a boss watched him walk out of his yard from his front door and asked with a smile.

"Let me look at the menu first!"

As Chen Yang spoke, the family entered the courtyard.

I found an empty table and sat down.

"Okay, see what you want to eat."

The owner then placed the menu on the table for him.

Chen Yang picked it up, glanced at it, and said nothing.

After putting it down, I looked at the owner and asked, "Can I go to your kitchen to pick something out?"

"To the kitchen?"

The owner misunderstood his words: "You're worried about the safety of our food, aren't you?" "No problem, come with me! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"it is good!"

Chen Yang offered no explanation.

It's fine as long as I can go and take a look.

His worry was that the one he chose might lack spiritual energy, making his trip a waste.

After agreeing, I left with the boss.

We went around the courtyard, through a hall, and out the back door.

Upon arriving at the backyard, we found two or three chefs and a sunshade.

That's clearly their open-air kitchen.

The chefs were busy as bees.

I simply don't have time to pay attention to them.

"Look, what do you want to eat!"

The boss is very confident.

Their place is indeed very clean, and they have a special slaughterhouse.

There are people handling it.

"Let me see."

Chen Yang didn't say anything, but went straight to the iron cages.

There were wild rabbits and other game kept inside.

When Chen Yang arrived, he immediately saw that the iron cage containing the wild rabbit was filled with spiritual energy.

Clearly, these wild rabbits have been imbued with spiritual energy.

There was still a glint of shrewdness in those eyes.

Unfortunately, their strength has not improved, and they remain at the mercy of others.

"I want all three rabbits!"

Chen Yang waved to the boss behind him: "Make them all for me."

"Huh? Can you eat this?"

"These three together weigh over ten pounds!"

After listening to Chen Yang's words, the boss gestured to confirm with Chen Yang.

"It's alright, this might not even be enough, besides!"

"If I can't finish it, I'll take it home!"

Chen Yang smiled and pointed at the rabbits: "I want these. Boss, don't switch them out for me."

"Don't worry, we never lie to people!"

The boss patted his chest and made a guarantee.

At the same time, he waved to a chef next to him: "Old Li, prepare these, make them taste good, they want to take them home and use them to promote our business!"

"okay!"

The chef readily agreed and walked over.

Start processing the wild rabbit.

"I'll take these vegetables too!"

Chen Yang then went to the place where the vegetables were placed and pointed to a bunch of greens.

He discovered that almost every dish here possessed a kind of spiritual energy, though some were stronger than others.

"no problem!"

After the boss agreed, he gave one of the chefs a wink.

He immediately understood and got to work.

"Boss, where do you buy your vegetables?"

"Everything feels so new and exciting!"

Chen Yang looked at the vegetables and couldn't help but become curious.

"It's right there on the mountain ahead, it grew in our family's vegetable garden!"

"And these wild rabbits, they often steal food, but I caught them!"

The owner proudly pointed to a spot on the mountain and boasted to Chen Yang, "Many people love our dishes!"

"Some people have said that they feel refreshed and invigorated after eating it!"

"Oh? Can you take me to see it?"

Chen Yang immediately became curious.

"Okay, but let's eat first before we go!"

"Otherwise, the meat won't taste good when it gets cold!"

The boss was generous and open-handed.

However, she thoughtfully pointed to the chef next to Chen Yang, who had already started preparing wild rabbit meat for him.

"Okay! No problem! I'll trouble you to show me the way later!"

After agreeing, Chen Yang waved to the boss and said, "I'll go wait in front!"

"okay!"

Seeing that he was a straightforward person, the boss agreed and started to lend a hand.

Chen Yang then returned to his previous position.

There are twenty or thirty dining tables in this courtyard, and the occupancy rate is ninety percent.

Every dining table was laden with food.

Clearly, his business is doing very well.

These were not things that Chen Yang cared about.

He started waiting for the owner to serve the food.

Another ten minutes or so passed, and his dishes were served one after another.

Chen Yang began to eat heartily.

For him, a meal is almost gone in just a few minutes.

The rabbit meat and vegetables were devoured by him in less than ten minutes.

Chen Yang was somewhat unsatisfied, after all, it involved both spirit and flesh.

After finishing his meal, he waved to the owner, who was standing not far away, and called out, "Boss!"

"Hey bro, is it good?"

The boss came over with a smile, looked at the table that had been completely eaten, and deliberately asked a question.

If it's eaten so cleanly, how could it not taste good?

"good to eat!"

"But I'll have to trouble you to take me to see your vegetable garden!"

Chen Yang nodded, then took out a few banknotes and handed them to the shopkeeper.

"Too much, too much!"

"It won't take that much."

The boss saw that the money was five or six hundred, and it was obvious that he had given too much.

"The extra money is for delivery fees!"

"Thank you for your trouble."

Chen Yang smiled and insisted on handing the money over to the boss.

"Well... I'll have my son take you there!"

I'm a bit busy here!

The boss immediately looked troubled, but when he saw a teenager running over, he immediately thought of a solution.

"Alright, as long as you can take me to see it!"

Chen Yang didn't mind; as long as they could go and see it, it didn't matter who went.

"it is good!"

The boss agreed and then waved to his son, who had just rushed over, calling out, "Lele! Come here!"

"Dad! I've finished my homework!"

Lele came over with some concern and spoke to him first.

"I'm not asking you to do your homework!"

The shop owner patted his son's head and said with a smile, "Take this big brother to our vegetable garden!"

"Huh? It's that simple?"

Hearing what the boss said, Lele breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes! Go quickly and come back quickly!"

The boss nodded and gently nudged his son.

"okay!"

After Lele agreed, she excitedly waved to Chen Yang: "Big brother, come with me."

"it is good!"

Chen Yang agreed without hesitation and went out with Lele.

Following the little guy's cheerful steps, we headed up the mountain.

The number of farmhouses along the way has gradually decreased, but there are still quite a few.

The two walked on the mountain path for more than ten minutes.

Finally, we arrived at a terraced field.

There are many vegetable plots here, all planted with vegetables.

After leading him uphill for a while, Lele stopped at the foot of a mountain: "Big brother! This is my family's vegetable garden."

Eat whatever you want!

"Okay, okay! You've worked hard!"

"I'm fine now, you can go back first! I'll just take a look and then go down!"

Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction, then patted his head.

"okay."

Lele agreed without hesitation, and was about to leave.

Suddenly remembering something, he quickly reminded him, "Brother, the noise here has subsided, you should hurry down."

"It's not safe here at night, there are wild animals! Several people have been attacked on the road in the middle of the night recently!"

"Oh? There are wild animals too?"

Upon hearing his words, Chen Yang couldn't help but show a look of curiosity.

"Correct!"

"Um... I'll be going now!"

Lele shrank back, and while the lights were still on down the mountain, she greeted him and hurried down. (End of Chapter)
