With the death of the Nine Headed Dragon, the morale of Lu Yang's side soared. They rallied and ended the battle.

 

"Barbarian Battle Technique – One Force Subdues Ten !"

 

Man Gu roared, his left and right fists striking simultaneously, deflating the armored beast's head.

 

The patterned giant python lost its way in the illusion, losing its sanity. It swallowed half of its own body. By the time it woke up, it was too late to turn the tide.

 

Seeing Lu Yang slay two beasts with a single sword, Meng Jingzhou also felt competitive. He used the Earthshaking Six Styles to kill the tiger beast and lion beast. The two beasts didn't even have a chance to escape.

 

Meng Jingzhou and the others were panting heavily, their faces filled with smiles.

 

Regardless, they had finally won this battle.

 

Lu Yang hadn't expended much energy. He had been using the power of the Immortal Maiden.

 

"Release!"

 

With the battle over, there was no need for him to maintain the appearance of the Immortal Maiden.

 

As soon as he returned to his original form, Lu Yang felt his mind become active, and his thinking was no longer as singular as before.

 

"What did I just do?!"

 

Lu Yang recalled the foolish things he had done, breaking out in a cold sweat.

 

"You did quite well just now, very similar to my style!" The Immortal Maiden gave a thumbs up, praising Lu Yang for having the potential of an immortal.

 

"That's the biggest problem!"

 

Lu Yang recalled the course of the battle. Using the Huang Doudou Fist to transform into the Immortal Maiden greatly increased his combat power, which could even be described as skyrocketing.

 

He could guarantee that using the Huang Doudou Fist, he would be invincible during the Foundation Establishment stage. No one would be his match.

 

But the price was too high.

 

Silly laughter, silly talk… Fortunately, he didn't do anything too outrageous this time. Otherwise, how could he face others if this got out?

 

Lu Yang secretly resolved to treat the Huang Doudou Fist as a forbidden technique, never to be used unless absolutely necessary.

 

"Maiden, I can't easily imitate you in the future. It's too dangerous." Lu Yang sighed. This was power gained at the expense of his mind.

 

"I don't think it's dangerous?" The Immortal Maiden was puzzled.

 

"Amazing, Lu Yang. You even killed the Nine Headed Dragon. I didn't expect your mimicry boxing to be so powerful." Meng Jingzhou laughed heartily.

 

"It's a pity, I can't learn your Lu-style mimicry boxing. Otherwise, if I could transform into my father or grandfather and borrow their power, I don't think anyone could beat me!" Meng Jingzhou expressed regret.

 

"But there's one thing I don't understand."

 

"What is it?"

 

"Why didn't we just use a teleportation talisman to send the Nine Headed Dragon to the Demon Suppression Pass? It would have been easier." Meng Jingzhou was puzzled. Lu Yang had looked ready to sacrifice himself when he was using mimicry boxing. Was that necessary?

 

Lu Yang: "……"

 

It was over. He was gradually being assimilated by the Immortal Maiden, his mind was not functioning well.

 

"Senior Brother Lu, who did you transform into just now?" Tao Yaoye was curious. She didn't know that Senior Brother Lu knew such a cute little girl.

 

"This is an ancient inheritance, not to be spoken lightly." Lu Yang spoke mysteriously, but he wasn't lying.

 

The more people who knew about the Immortal Maiden, the more dangerous it was.

 

They still didn't know who killed the Immortal Maiden, what means they had, or what their purpose was.

 

Those who knew about the existence of the Immortal Maiden could potentially be targeted.

 

Currently, only five people knew about the Immortal Maiden: Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Man Gu, the eldest sister, and the Immortal Maiden herself.

 

Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu had no choice. They were present when the Immortal Maiden revived.

 

As for the eldest sister, it was still uncertain who was in danger.

 

The Immortal Maiden couldn't leave the Seek Tao Sect, so she was safe.

 

"Come on, let's count the spoils." Meng Jingzhou called everyone to dissect the beasts and see if there were any good things.

 

Meng Jingzhou didn't lack treasures or spirit stones. He enjoyed the process of harvesting.

 

The Nine Headed Dragon was roasted into charcoal by Lu Yang. Its demon core was split in two, becoming a waste core. There was nothing good to be found on it.

 

The two beasts beheaded by a single sword were quite ordinary, with only demon cores and fur.

 

There were quite a few good things on the tiger beast that Meng Jingzhou killed. Tiger bones and tiger whip were both good for virility, but unfortunately, they were of no use to Meng Jingzhou.

 

The blood of the tiger beast and lion beast was quite valuable. If refined by a pill master, it could trace back to the origin and refine a drop of Lu Wu True Blood and Nine-Headed Lion True Blood.

 

The gallbladder of the patterned giant python could detoxify and fetch a good price.

 

Tao Yaoye was the poorest among the four. Lu Yang and the others had all done undercover missions for the Immortal Sect, and had even contributed a little to the downfall of the Immortal Sect.

 

These were all contribution points.

 

In contrast, Tao Yaoye had done quite a few tasks, but none of them could compare to the Immortal Sect tasks.

 

Man Gu peeled off the scales of the armored beast. The scales were hard and not easy to grasp, making them good material for armor.

 

"I'll show it to Junior Brother Haoran when I get back." Man Gu put the scales into his identity jade pendant.

 

The four of them tidied up, set up a fire, and began to prepare dinner.

 

From going to the auction in the morning, to coming to the dense forest at noon, to starting the battle in the afternoon, they had been busy all day. It was time to rest and enjoy.

 

Especially after obtaining so many good ingredients, it would be a pity not to have a meal.

 

"Can we eat lion? I heard in the tribe that there is a traditional delicacy in the Central Plains called Lion's Head, but I've never had it." Man Gu suggested.

 

Tao Yaoye was silent for a moment before saying, "Is it possible that the Lion's Head you're talking about is not the same as the Lion's Head we have now?"

 

"Aren't they both called Lion's Head?"

 

"……Alright, Lion's Head it is. Let's eat lion today."Everyone worked together. Although Man Gu had never dealt with a lion before, he often handled other beasts when he was with his tribe. The process was more or less the same, so he was in charge of preparing the lion.

 

Lu Yang chopped down a large tree and whittled it into a three-meter-long stick with his Qingfeng Sword to skewer the lion.

 

Meng Jingzhou set up a large automatic barbecue array and erected the grill.

 

Tao Yaoye went around looking for edible fruits, which could be used to cleanse the palate after eating meat.

 

The lion was defurred and gutted by Man Gu, brushed with a secret sauce from his tribe, skewered by Lu Yang, and placed on the grill, where the Samadhi True Fire was lit.

 

On the large automatic barbecue array, the lion was skewered on a stick and slowly rotated. The Samadhi True Fire sizzled and the oil dripped, filling the air with a tantalizing aroma.

 

Man Gu stared at the lion, lost in thought, as if he was reminded of something.

 

"Man Gu, what's wrong?" Lu Yang thought Man Gu was homesick.

 

"I was thinking, the main target of the automatic barbecue array is small skewers. When it comes to roasting a whole lamb, a whole lion, or other large animals, it struggles a bit. The heat distribution is also uneven, which is a real test of the barbecue master's skills."

 

"So you're thinking…" Lu Yang couldn't figure out what Man Gu was thinking.

 

"I heard that some sects in the Southern Border are good at controlling corpses. Can we learn this technique and use it for barbecuing?"

 

"Like controlling the corpse of a sheep and letting it roast itself over the fire?"

 

Lu Yang: "……"

 

Am I the only normal person in the Seek Tao Sect?
