This martial arts tournament is time-stopping.

"Eeee?"

Ye Chu grabbed the little eagle that had landed on his shoulder and wasn't resisting much, and held it up to his eyes to look at it. He was momentarily silent.

The little guy's pale golden eyes were filled with cuteness and curiosity, as if he didn't understand why he was being held in someone's hand.

He was so spiritually intelligent, like a child, it was unbelievable!

in addition,

Did it actively seek it out?

Or did you never even think about flying away?

And where does the fresh smell of fish that lingers in the house come from?

Ye Chu decided to stop thinking about it and went home.

"Ye Lang is back!"

In the courtyard, Ji Meng saw Ye Chu return, put down her palm-leaf fan and needlework, and then gently tapped the little eagle's head to complain:

"This morning, the bird caught a strange-looking red fish and put it in the water basin. This afternoon, when I came back from buying meat to cook, it was causing trouble by the stove again, and it even insisted on throwing the strange fish into the meat pot to cook!"

"I was worried about the fish, so I used a clay pot to cook it."

"I didn't expect it to take half an afternoon to cook through, and the delicious aroma has been wafting through the neighborhood, with everyone asking what I cooked!"

Ye Chu squatted down next to the casserole, lifted the lid, and could still see a bit of the shape of the blood bull perch.

The little eagle flew into the kitchen again and brought Ye Chu a bowl, singing and dancing as it did so.

After a long time, Ye Chu finally understood what this silly bird meant.

Emotions are feeding themselves!?

As for whether this feeding was the little eagle repaying the debt of saving its life and nurturing it, or whether it was trying to curry favor with Yang Heng for the source that could transform the essence of life, that's really hard to understand.

After all, Ye Chuzhen doesn't speak bird language...

Later, when Ji Meng saw that Ye Chu had confirmed the fish soup was not poisonous, she wanted to try it too, but the little eagle flew up again to stop her from drinking it.

The little eagle has a strong personality, which makes Ji Meng jealous.

"Good bird, everyone have a taste!"

Ye Chu held down the eagle while also coaxing the somewhat jealous Ji Meng.

But to be honest, this was the first time the two of them and the bird had ever eaten such a nutritious fish, and it was so delicious that they almost swallowed their tongues.

However, Ji Meng only drank two sips of soup before feeling hot all over, her body unable to handle the nourishment.

The eagle was small, and after only a couple of bites of the shredded meat, it became dizzy and went to sleep.

Ye Chu slurped up several mouthfuls of fish soup and could clearly feel a warm sensation spreading from his stomach and intestines along the capillaries to his limbs and bones.

"As expected of this precious fish, the essence in just a few sips of its broth is more potent than a serving of tiger blood soup that costs an ounce of silver!"

"However, the Tiger Blood Soup contains the blood of a rare tiger, which has additional benefits for practicing the Tiger Breathing Technique and Tiger Form in the Tiger Subduing Stance. This is a benefit that the Blood Ox Perch Treasure Fish cannot provide."

After comparing them in his mind, he followed the continuous heat from his internal organs to refine the essence into blood energy and store it.

In addition, during the refining process, Ye Chu also discovered that in addition to being rich in essence and easy to refine, the Blood Ox Perch Treasure Fish also had a certain refining, purifying and enhancing effect on the bones, marrow and blood inside the body.

In a way, blood bass also has a slight effect on improving physical constitution!

"No wonder it's a rare species worthy of being called a treasure fish!"

……

"The weather is dry, so be careful with fire."

At midnight, the night watchman patrols the streets and alleys.

Ye Chu stopped practicing his stance training, but there was still a little more than half a bowl of fish soup left in the casserole.

[Skill: Tiger-Taming Stance (Beginner Level: 19/20)]

"I can't train anymore, or I'll break through the blood barrier tonight..."

In his plan, he needed to be at least one step behind Han Heng to avoid making him stand out as number one and thus avoid attracting the attention of many forces.

Yang Heng spent three days teaching his followers stance training, but he wasn't going to wait any longer. He wanted to be a little faster than Yang Heng and become the second person to break through the Blood Barrier!

After all, who would remember the second or third person besides the first?

Unless that second or third person is oneself!

Ye Chu then looked at the remaining fish soup in the casserole. Like the Dao of Time, much of the essence would be gradually swallowed up by the world as time passed.

"The effect will be greatly reduced by tomorrow, so it's better to eat it now and use the essence to practice the Yellow Turban Warrior Technique!"

In addition, Ye Chu was also looking forward to whether his root bone would increase by 1 after he finished eating the whole blood bull bass.

If successful, it would mean that he has found another way to strengthen his physical constitution and enhance the awakening of his immortal body!

At dawn,

Aside from the two pieces of precious meat specially reserved for Ji Meng and Cangying for breakfast,

Ye Chu ate the entire blood beef perch, meat and broth, extracting its essence for cultivation and absorbing its special nourishing effects on bones, marrow, and blood.

[Base Bone: 16→17→18]

【技能：黄巾力士lv.1（2/100）→（5/100）】

The bone structure changes from 16 to 17, marking the beginning of a new day, and the immortal body naturally grows.

The increase in Root Bone from 17 to 18 is the benefit brought by devouring and refining the Blood Bull Bass!

This means that Ye Chu has truly found another kind of food that can replace the Dao of Time to add some root bone and accelerate the awakening and growth of the immortal body!

The Yellow Turban Warrior Technique increased progress by 3 points, which translates to a 3% increase in the total amount of Yellow Turban Light within the body compared to before.

And the Yellow Turban Light, extracted from the body and condensed into Yellow Turban Warriors, was less superficial and more substantial than before.

Most importantly, the Yellow Turban Light has enhanced its effect on erasing the ghost hand mark on the wrist!

"I expect that in another ten or twenty days, the demonic handprint left on me will be completely removed, and then I will be completely free!"

"However, due to some reason, many renowned figures and various forces from Jiangnan Prefecture and Jiangbei Prefecture have flocked here, causing chaos to break out in the wilderness outside the city..."

"I will follow Master Nie's advice and stay within the city as much as possible to avoid disaster!"

As for Qingniu Village, and even the house at the entrance of the village, he neither goes back nor wants it anymore!

Because Ye Chu doesn't even own any land in Qingniu Village, and the village is currently occupied by evil spirits, what kind of hometown sentiment does he have to cherish?

As for the Hidden Field Ruins hidden deep in the mountains, let's wait until we're stronger enough to at least protect ourselves from demons and evil spirits before exploring them.

After all, as an immortal being, he possesses an incredibly long lifespan, and acting rashly in the face of immediate consequences would be a grave mistake!

Ye Chu washed off the sweat with warm water, then went back to bed and dozed off for a while.

As the east began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, I suddenly awoke.

He jogged around, absorbing the unclaimed Daoist energy left behind after the killings at each of the eight butcher shops in the city.

【Time and Rhythm: 30】

"I can collect about 7-8 points of Time Dao Rhyme every day. Aside from keeping 10 points as a trump card for Time Stop, I should use the rest to convert into concrete strength!"

"In addition, my physical constitution naturally increases by a little bit every day as my immortal body awakens, but my [Comprehension: 3] has remained unchanged. Let's add some points to it and see how it feels."

"Then let's distribute the benefits evenly: half to increase comprehension and half to increase cultivation progress."

On his way to the Dragon Tiger Hall, Ye Chu had a sudden thought, and 10 points of Time Daoist Rhyme were transformed into 1 point of Comprehension.

Comprehension: 3→4

A cool sensation washed over his mind, not only relieving the fatigue of a sleepless night, but also giving Ye Chu a tingling, numb feeling between his brows, as if his brain was about to grow.
