In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

A young man ran up to Chen Dao, who was carrying wood blocks, and asked with a fawning look, "Brother Dao, do you need any help building your house?"

"Uh."

Chen Dao glanced at the man and found his name in the original owner's memories: Chen Xiaogou.

"It's Gou Ge'er!"

Chen Dao smiled and said, "We don't need any manpower for now. If we do need it in the future, I'll definitely contact you, Brother Gou, right away."

Hearing Chen Dao say that, Chen Xiaogou felt embarrassed to continue the conversation and left with his head down.

As for the villagers who were watching, they didn't leave. Instead, they watched Chen Cheng and the others working with great interest, their faces full of envy.

As the sun set, Chen Cheng and the others, having finished a busy day, piled up the dismantled wood and leaned against it while waiting for their meal.

"I'm so tired!"

Chen Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead. After a busy day, even a strong young man like him felt quite tired. Fortunately, he had eaten a full breakfast, so he could still manage.

I think it's alright!

Chen Cheng grinned and said, "I ate a big breakfast this morning, so I'm not particularly tired now!"

Chen Shi: "..."

Chen Mu: “…”

Chen Si: "..."

Chen Jiang: "..."

The group glanced at Chen Cheng's burly physique and agreed with what he said.

With Chen Cheng's physique, this kind of physical work is a piece of cake for him, provided that he can have enough to eat.

"Dinner is here!"

Speaking of food, it's coming right away.

Li Ping and He Cuilian walked over carrying a large wooden bucket. As they approached, the unique aroma of food wafted out, and Chen Cheng swallowed hard, his eyes shining.

"Come and eat, everyone!"

Li Ping knew that everyone must be very hungry after a day's work, so she didn't hesitate and took out bowls to serve everyone rice.

Chen Cheng quickly took the bowl of rice, swallowed the bowl of porridge mixed with rice husks in one gulp, and then exhaled and said, "That feels good!"

Chen Cheng's two younger brothers, as if they were starving ghosts reincarnated, gulped down the porridge in one go, and then handed the bowl to Li Ping: "Auntie, please have another bowl."

"it is good!"

Li Ping smiled and served each of the three brothers a bowl.

Although Chen Cheng, Chen Shi, and Chen Mu were all born of the same mother, their appetites were different. Even if Chen Shi and Chen Mu were very hungry, they could only eat about three bowls of rice.

Chen Cheng, a true big eater, downed eight bowls in a row before stopping. When he returned the bowl to Li Ping, he smiled憨厚ly and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

"You are welcome!"

Seeing that the three had finished eating, Li Ping waved her hand and left with He Cuilian carrying the wooden bucket.

After the two left, it got dark.

Chen Dao immediately said to Chen Cheng and the others, "That's all for today's work, everyone go home!"

"Go home!"

After finishing his meal, Chen Cheng happily led his two younger brothers home. Seemingly worried about not having work to do the next day, he turned back to Chen Dao as they walked and said, "Brother Dao, we'll come back again tomorrow!"

Chen Dao nodded, and after watching them leave, he said to Chen Da, "Uncle, let's go back and eat too!"

"it is good."

Back at Chen Da's home, Li Ping and He Cuilian had already prepared dinner. Chen Tiedan and Chen Fei sat at the table waiting for the meal to begin.

"came back?"

Upon seeing the two return, He Cuilian hurriedly invited them to sit at the table.

After everyone was seated, Chen Dao glanced at the food on the table.

At this moment, each person at the table had a bowl of white rice and a bowl of egg drop soup in front of them, made with the two eggs that Chen Dao had collected that morning.

Chen Fei and Chen Tiedan kept glancing at the egg drop soup, swallowing hard.

"Eat up!"

Chen Dao smiled, picked up the white rice, and began to eat.

He Cuilian then took out several small bowls and served each person a bowl of egg drop soup, allowing everyone to eat with the egg drop soup.

After the meal, the two women cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen, while Chen Dao went back to his room first, lay on the bed, and stared blankly into space.

…………

…………

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Chen Dao woke up to good news: the White Feather Chicken had successfully advanced to its next level.

Chen Dao, standing by the chicken coop in the front yard, looked at the six chickens inside with a delighted expression.

But the six chickens in the coop, which were originally all white, had changed drastically. Their feathers had all turned into a yellow-orange color, and their bodies had also grown larger. Chen Dao estimated that these six successfully evolved yellow-feathered chickens weighed at least 7-8 pounds!

In addition, Chen Dao also saw the advanced information of the Yellow Feather Chicken.

Yellow-feathered chickens are characterized by their short growth period, high meat yield, and short egg-laying cycle.

[Yellow-feathered Chicken Advancement Route 1: Pairing a female yellow-feathered chicken with a male iron-clawed chicken has a 50% chance of hatching a golden-feathered chicken.]

[Characteristics of the Golden Feathered Chicken: Long growth cycle, formidable fighting power, comparable to an eighth-rank martial artist.]

[Yellow Feather Chicken Advancement Route Two: Feeding it Blood Clotting Fruit for three consecutive days will advance it to Blood Feather Chicken.]

[Characteristics of Blood Feathered Chicken: It is relatively small in size, and its meat and blood are believed to strengthen the body's vital energy.]

"Golden-feathered chickens and blood-feathered chickens!"

A glint of light flashed in Chen Dao's eyes. Just by reading the descriptions, one could sense the power of these two chicken breeds.

The Golden Feathered Chicken is comparable to an eighth-rank martial artist and is even more powerful than Little Black!

Although the description of the Blood Feather Chicken was somewhat vague, Chen Dao noticed its characteristic of strengthening Qi and blood.

You should know that martial artists in this world mainly cultivate their qi and blood!

Besides accumulating qi and blood little by little through cultivation techniques, the fastest shortcut to enhancing qi and blood is to nourish them with various precious medicinal herbs to strengthen oneself!

The medicinal herbs that can help martial artists strengthen their qi and blood are all extremely expensive, something that even wealthy families can only dream of!

"That is to say..."

Chen Dao's eyes gleamed: "The effects of Blood Feather Chicken are similar to those precious medicinal herbs that strengthen blood and qi? Or even comparable to the flesh and blood of demonic beasts?"

Chen Dao's heart burned with excitement. Chicken that could strengthen one's blood and qi... didn't that mean...?

Are they not much different from demonic beasts?

The monsters in this world are extremely precious, even more so than medicinal herbs that strengthen qi and blood. This is because monster meat is difficult to hunt, while the flesh and blood of monsters can help martial artists strengthen their qi and blood, shorten cultivation time, and the effect is even better than those precious medicinal herbs!

Therefore, the monsters in this world are extremely precious, and whenever they appear, they will attract a large number of martial artists to compete for them!

The next path for the Yellow Feathered Chicken to advance to the next level includes the Blood Feathered Chicken, a creature similar to a demonic beast...

"The value of the Bloodfeathered Chicken is probably no less than that of a demonic beast!"

Chen Dao made his judgment with certainty.

Of course, Chen Dao also knew that due to its size, the value of a single Bloodfeather Chicken could not compare with that of a demon beast.

However, the advantage of the Bloodfeather Chicken is that it is a domesticated animal and can be bred in large numbers!

Unlike monsters, you don't need to rely on luck to encounter them, and sometimes you even need to risk your life to hunt them!
