Chapter 453: Chapter 453

[Cloud-Piercing Thunder has been learned, Skill Level is 0, experience can be gained through effective use.]

After the progress bar finished reading in ten seconds, a prompt popped up, and as expected, the slightly worn "Cloud-Piercing Thunder" book remained motionless in Jiang Yuan’s hand!

Finally confirming that cultivation techniques not rewarded by the system can be learned normally, he couldn’t help but smile wide.

Exactly at six in the morning, a new day of Wilderness Ascension began, and the fruits hanging on the branches in the fields instantly ripened, filling the air with fragrance.

Next, the ripe fruits were automatically harvested in batches, leaving the fields dry as usual, prompting the need for watering.

The Glowing Golden Water Pot can water six plots at once and doesn’t feel heavy even when filled.

But the problem is, Jiang Yuan is now a major farming landlord—the primary grain production area is still the largest, with a total of 60*20=1200 plots after fully cultivating all the Level One land according to the system’s pixel counting method;

On the other side of the river, the total number of Level Two farmland is 40*20=800 plots; Level Three farmland, though currently the least in number, has sixty plots, plus the herb garden and orchard, watering each one is a massive task that can increase Farming Skills but also requires a lot of time.

"If only I could have agents do this, and I gain experience while others work, wouldn’t that save time to do more things?"

Jiang Yuan fantasized about the good idea, first preparing dishes at the stove, intentionally leaving a plate of spiritual energy-infused braised pork on the kitchen table as a special treat for the elder, then went out to water, harvest, and process.

The little white dog napping under the Divine Wood twitched its ears, sniffing hard with its nose before even opening its eyes, "Sniff sniff! What a delicious smell, breakfast is ready?! Will there be roasted chicken?"

Its little tail began to wag gleefully; it waited in place as Jiang Yuan went to work in the fields, then darted into the dining room, bouncing around, examining the sumptuous dishes on the table, drooling, but aware of its dignity not to steal food, it had to bounce into the kitchen.

"Woof woof! Why is this plate of braised pork on the table? Forgot to take it away, couldn’t fit, or was it specially left for me, an old fellow?" The little white dog wagged its tail, its eyes glowing green with the tantalizing aroma of the braised pork, bewitching its soul.

Whether it recognized the meal was purposely left for itself or hadn’t realized and simply overcooked, it didn’t bother pondering now, "The situation as it stands, let’s eat first! Braised pork, here I come, dog lord!"

In a swoosh, it jumped onto the table, ignoring the risk of a burnt mouth from the fresh-out-of-the-pot meat, grabbed a piece, and swallowed it, savoring the gentle infusion of spiritual power. Each bite was rich in flavor, fatty yet not greasy, with juice bursting forth that intoxicated the dog!

"Woof woof, so delicious!"

Bite after bite, it indulged in the rare delicacy, sinking into the flavors while internally complaining about its previous bland life.

In the midst of its food frenzy, the group led by Hu Zhile, who had been fighting all night in Carefree City for demon cores, beamed down to the Ancient Teleportation Array.

Apart from Xie Chenyuan, who had come for both a meal and to check on the ancestor, everyone else was dog-tired. Wan Mingchuan opened the back door, and the group filed in, coincidentally seeing the little puppy eagerly devouring braised pork on the table with the kitchen door open.

Yun Mo reacted the fastest, darting forward in a few steps, picking up the "sneaky eater," "How can you eat this meat? You’ll die!"

"Something terrible has happened!" Wan Mingchuan, startled, turned and shouted outside: "Master, the little puppy is eating the braised pork you made, and that’s demon beast meat, what do we do? Is it going to die?"

Barked it all up, blame it on the young friend’s superb Immortal Chef skills, this braised pork smells amazing!

Solely focused on the delicious meal, totally immersed, never suspected any approach, where did these kids come from? Why no noise at all?

The little white dog, with a mouthful of braised pork, was savoring the mix of lean and fat flavors, still relishing the long-lasting aroma, mouth smeared with thick sauce, got suddenly lifted by the scruff, completely dumbfounded.

"Ouch! Ancestor, oh ancestor..." Xie Chenyuan couldn’t bear to watch his own ancestor being caught red-handed, only silently face-palming behind.

Hu Zhile didn’t know what to do either, hurried forward to inspect, and upon finding half the plate of demon beast meat eaten, stamped anxiously and said, "Why are you so greedy? The venerable family’s dishes made of demon beast meat contain immense spiritual energy, if you..." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novèlfire.net

Mid-sentence, she suddenly realized, "Hey? Little puppy, you ate so much demon beast meat and you’re unharmed?"

"Yeah! Ordinarily, a little nose would pop from the spiritual energy intake after a piece, right?" Yun Mo held the little puppy up, looking left and right.

Listening was adorably hanging its little legs, playing dumb.

"But it ate so much and nothing happened, does this mean..." Wan Mingchuan thought hard, and then suddenly realized, "I got it! This little puppy might be a hybrid!"

Seeing them dumbfounded, Wan Mingchuan chuckled, "When I lived in the village before, I heard people say that some monsters in the wilderness would hunt those wild beasts that didn’t hide, some would... hehe, take a liking! A monster and a wild beast offspring, wouldn’t that be a hybrid?"

Don’t blame me; it has nothing to do with me... I shouldn’t have come for a meal!

"Oh, I get what you mean." Hu Zhile gently smiled and said, "You mean this little one might have some demon beast bloodline, allowing it to withstand the spiritual power impact, right?"

Yun Mo nodded in agreement, "It’s quite possible. Xie Senior, what do you think?"

Trying to keep a low profile but called out, Xie Chenyuan stammered, "Um, maybe, could it actually be a demon beast? Maybe just... too young right now?"

The ancestor wants to stay and eat roast chicken, declare its demon beast identity early, walk the clear path, wouldn’t that be better?

"But that doesn’t make sense, if it’s a demon beast or has some demon beast blood, having eaten so much demon beast meat with no problem suggests it has a demon core that can absorb spiritual power, why can’t we sense it at all?" Hu Zhile was still meticulous, instinctively felt something wasn’t quite right.

So she took the little white dog from Yun Mo, carefully checked again, confirmed there was no spiritual energy or detectable demon core, and directly went to find Jiang Yuan.

After listening to the whole story, he thought, elder, how could you be so careless, getting caught while stealing food?

Furthermore, you should have disguised as a demon beast pup from the start, wouldn’t that have avoided all this fuss?

Staring at it for quite a while, Listening had its ears perked, trying to gauge if he recognized it, and after a moment of wide-eyed exchange, Jiang Yuan finally found a reason, "Right! It might be a demon beast but naturally adept at concealing its aura, a rare talent skill, from now on, if it wants to eat, we’ll feed it, maybe it will grow into a formidable guard dog."

Did you recognize it or not, give a definitive answer!
