Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

For Makino, the brain is better.

However, this actually reduced Zhenhua's interest, but the fact that he had awakened to have 81 points of spiritual power still shocked him.

After the initial shock, interest waned even further.

There's no way around it; with such high mental strength, plus Mu Ye's secondary profession, it would be unreasonable for Xu Yuan not to choose mecha design as his secondary profession.

"it is good!"

The more Zhenhua's interest decreased, the more affection Mu Ye showed in Xu Yuan's eyes—even more!

At this moment, he really wished he could cut open Xu Yuan's head to see that adorable brain-like martial spirit.

"Young man, I am the current sect master of the Body Sect. Would you be willing to become my disciple?" Mu Ye asked Xu Yuan with a serious expression, without any beating around the bush.

Xu Yuan did not hesitate and bowed in greeting.

"Xu Yuan pays his respects to his teacher."

Zhenhua watched this scene from the side, stroked his chin, and felt very gratified.

He and Muye were quite close, and he knew that Muye was rather aloof and had almost no friends. Apart from staying with him, he rarely interacted with others. Now that he saw that Muye had taken on a good apprentice, he was naturally happy for Muye.

"Come on, let me take you to get a good meal!" Mu Ye laughed heartily, leading Xu Yuan toward the side door of the office.

Xu Shengqun from Zhenhua also followed suit.

As an old friend, and since this was his own kitchen, Zhenhua naturally knew what delicious food Muye had prepared.

As for Xu Shengqun, although they were not familiar with each other, as a spirit messenger, he had met Zhenhua and also met Mu Ye by chance. He knew how terrifying Mu Ye's cooking skills were and how rare the rare ingredients Mu Ye had were.

Upon hearing that Mu Ye was treating everyone, Xu Shengqun couldn't help but wipe the corner of his mouth.

Enter the kitchen.

Xu Yuan then saw a huge plate.

Makino stepped forward and removed the lid from the plate, instantly filling the entire room with a rich aroma. In just a moment, the concentration of vital energy in the room seemed to rise several levels.

It should be noted that this place was originally the headquarters of the blacksmiths. Even the kitchen was Zhenhua's private kitchen, connected to the office. The concentration of vital energy was already extremely high under the effect of the soul guidance array.

Xu Yuan's throat bobbed.

"This is sea dragon tendon, the main tendon of a hundred-year-old sea dragon that I personally caught in the sea for cooking."

The main ingredient is the tendon of a century-old sea dragon, and the seasonings and side dishes used in cooking are all absolutely top-quality ingredients!

"Don't underestimate this century-old sea dragon. I specially found it for you." Although Mu Ye didn't see the disappointment on Xu Yuan's face because it was a century old, he still explained the special features of his dish.

"You have just awakened your martial soul. Even if it's something good, you can't eat too much at once, and you can't digest energy that's too high in quality. This hundred years is the most suitable for you."

"Moreover, this century-old sea dragon was specially selected by your master because of its bloodline mutation, which gave it a trace of true dragon blood."

Chapter 9 The secret method of the body

Having a trace of true dragon bloodline doesn't mean you're inferior to a true dragon.

After all, it has only been a hundred years. If this sea dragon were to grow to a thousand or even ten thousand years, this trace of bloodline would be enough for it to be fully developed and completely transformed into a true dragon bloodline.

Therefore, this century-old sea dragon is extremely valuable and would be a highlight item in a mid-level auction.

Even Xu Shengqun, who was a Spirit Transmission Envoy, stationed in Tianhai City, and was known as the overlord of the entire coastal area of ​​the Tianhai Alliance, was surprised by Mu Ye's description.

A hundred-year-old sea dragon that has awakened a trace of true dragon bloodline is probably hard to find in the near sea; one would need to go into the deep sea and spend a great deal of effort to find it.

"The core of our Body Sect's cultivation is to temper one's own blood and qi. Your martial soul is the brain, so it is somewhat weaker in tempering the body. You will stay here for the next month. I will prepare more food for you during this time and use the Body Sect's secret techniques to help you lay a solid foundation."

Xu Yuan nodded.

Xu Shengqun had no objections.

Zhenhua was overjoyed.

It's important to know that although Makino almost doubles as his chef, he doesn't meticulously prepare the dishes every day. The ingredients used to lay the foundation for his apprentice are definitely carefully selected.

Just like the sea cucumber tendon in front of him, although it is young, the taste is really good, and the key is that Xu Yuan alone may not even be able to eat a tenth of it.

Isn't the rest something that Zhenhua has to solve?

Just like sea cucumber tendons, so too will delicious food in the coming month!

"Come, try my cooking."

Mu Ye pulled Xu Yuan to the dining table, and suddenly a knife appeared in his right hand. He cut off a small piece of meat and handed Xu Yuan a fork.

Xu Yuan took the fork, picked up the muscle, and took a bite.

Instantly, a tremendous amount of energy burst forth from his mouth, transforming into a warm current that flowed down his throat, spreading throughout his entire body, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.

Xu Yuan immediately put down the fork, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to circulate his soul power to refine it.

What enormous energy!

Let alone one-tenth, this piece of meat probably only makes up one percent of the whole dish.

Xu Yuan sat cross-legged and refined the food, while Mu Ye Zhenhua and Xu Shengqun observed his changes and enjoyed the sea dragon tendon.

A full half hour passed before Xu Yuan finally refined the energy within his body.

"My soul power has increased by at least ten days' worth of cultivation!"

The sea dragon tendon itself contains abundant energy, but the cooking methods and seasonings are absolutely top-notch, maximizing its effects.

"The effects are most pronounced the first time you consume this level of rare and precious herbs. Eat up, I've saved some for you."

Xu Yuan nodded, looking at the remaining sea dragon tendons, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

......

The meal took three hours to finish.

Xu Yuan's soul power increased significantly, which was at least equivalent to the gains he made after a month of meditation.

Mu Ye had a deep understanding of Qi and blood. When Xu Yuan ate the first piece of muscle, he was observing Xu Yuan's body's ability to withstand it, and the part he left for Xu Yuan was exactly what Xu Yuan could digest.

After Xu Yuan finished eating and completely refined the last of the sea dragon tendons, Mu Ye immediately stepped forward and gave Xu Yuan a hard tap on the shoulder.

A powerful surge of soul energy rushed into Xu Yuan's body through his acupoints.

Xu Yuan wasn't flustered; instead, he was curious.

Xu Yuan was curious to sense the movement of Mu Ye's soul power, as Mu Ye had no motives to harm him.

"Huh!" Mu Ye exclaimed in surprise, "Good lad, you've already circulated your soul power and formed a cycle."

Moreover, sensing the general flow of soul power, the path is quite complex, a cyclical path that accompanies top-tier meditation techniques.

While surprised, Mu Ye continued to press on various acupoints on Xu Yuan's body.

Powerful streams of soul energy surged into Xu Yuan's body through his acupoints.

After Mu Ye finished, Xu Yuan felt that the powerful soul force that had entered his body immediately formed a whole, as if it was sealing something inside him.

"This is a secret technique of the Body Sect. I sealed your blood and qi with my soul power. Of course, it doesn't mean that your blood and qi cannot grow or that you cannot cultivate, but that they cannot settle down in the short term."

Unable to settle?

"For the next month, I will prepare various rare and precious herbs for you to increase your Qi and blood. Your body certainly cannot absorb them all. If all this energy were to settle down, it would certainly become your foundation, but it would also greatly affect the efficiency of your Qi and blood cultivation. Now, with the help of a secret method, the energy cannot settle down and will continue to float on the surface. Although a lot of it will dissipate, it can still nourish your Qi and blood to the maximum extent and build the best foundation for you."

Xu Yuan nodded knowingly.

understood.

The secret to spending real money!

Muye looked at Xu Shengqun.

Xu Shengqun was speechless.

What is that look?

Are you trying to kick me out?

Can't I spend more time with my nephew?

“This is the basics of marksmanship. Practice hard this month. If you don’t understand something, you can ask your teacher. He should be able to guide you. I’ll come to pick you up in a month.” Xu Shengqun wasn’t angry. He took out a prepared booklet and handed it to Xu Yuan.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely cultivate diligently."

Xu Shengqun patted Xu Yuan's head, nodded, and then left.

After Xu Shengqun left, Mu Ye was also surprised.

"Basic marksmanship?"

He looked at his obedient apprentice in surprise.

"Yes, my other martial soul is the Heavenly Origin Brush, which has the form of a brush-spear." Xu Yuan didn't hide anything.

Tianyuan Pen?

Pen gun?

Makino was very curious and immediately asked Xu Yuan to release it so he could see.

Xu Yuan nodded, and a flash of black and white light appeared on his right hand, revealing the Heavenly Origin Brush.
