This is how immortals are cultivated

Fang Suichu was devouring the ribs in no time. He didn't even need to spit out the bones when they entered his mouth. He just chewed them lightly and swallowed them into his stomach.

And on the table next to Fang Suichu was a very tall pile of plates.

Chapter 28 Dragon's Back

Fang Suichu swallowed the whole roasted lamb in the blink of an eye. The way he devoured the food was actually quite similar to a scene in a certain One Piece comic.

Fang Suichu's stomach was like a bottomless pit at this moment. Food heavier than himself was stuffed into his stomach, but his body shape did not change at all.

Such a look would make others stare in amazement, such as the waiter who had run to the private room countless times, but when he saw Fang Suichu's Taoist robe, all his surprise was buried deep in his heart.

People who cultivate strangeness are not common, but they do exist. Such people often have extraordinary qualities.

It took a full hour and a half for him to finish eating.

"Not bad, I'm eight-tenths full."

Fang Suichu leaned back in his chair and spoke with satisfaction.

"You're only 80% full?" Li Qingming widened his eyes.

Wu Yuanshuo, however, thought back to the simple meals he had during his hike in the wilderness a few days ago: "Brother must have been starving before New Year's Eve."

“I’m not starving…”

Fang Suichu picked up a toothpick and picked at his teeth. His teeth were perfectly white. Teeth were also part of the human body's bones, so Fang Suichu naturally wouldn't let them go, as he wanted to perfect the Bone Tempering Realm.

At this time, Fang Suichu's teeth could not crush diamonds, but they could chew through ordinary iron.

"If I maintain a normal level of activity, I can actually go a week without eating. Eating and drinking to my heart's content is actually part of my practice."

"You are now in the 100-day foundation-building process. Condensing your internal energy to break through the barriers of the eight extraordinary meridians is the key. Once all the meridians in your body are unblocked, your foundation-building is complete and you will officially embark on the path of cultivation."

"As for the path of cultivation, after building the foundation for a hundred days, the next stage is to refine grains into essence. From the surface, it means to fill oneself with essences from the outside world."

"Eat plenty of food. Food provides the body with more energy to build bones."

Fang Suichu was shaking his body, and the two women immediately heard a subtle sound. The sound came from Fang Suichu's body, as if something was flowing.

That was blood. At this moment, all the blood in Fang Suichu's body seemed to have turned into heavy mercury, and when it collided with each other, it made a crisp and pleasant sound like the collision of metal.

At the same time, Fang Suichu stood up from his seat, slowly stretching his body as he raised his arms. Bones, joints, blood vessels, ligaments, and muscles seemed to form a single whole, attached to the skeleton, especially the central bone, the spine. Fang Suichu's spine trembled slightly, rising and falling, like a dragon dormant deep within his flesh and blood.

As the dragon in the spine moved, the bones all over the body began to vibrate, making a crackling sound like frying beans.

Fang Suichu raised his hand and snapped his fingers. With each snap, a loud explosion echoed. The calm air between his fingers was displaced in a sudden burst, and the porcelain bowl in front of Fang Suichu shattered. At this moment, the shattered bowl was still three inches away from Fang Suichu.

Thunder roars with the snap of fingers!

Li Qingming's expression became a little unnatural.

The reason was simple. When they were arguing, Fang Suichu would give her a smack on the head if he couldn't win the argument and was trying to cheat.

Damn, if this blow hits the head, it might explode like a watermelon.

"This is the new bone-strengthening method I discovered, the Great Dragon Posture."

Even though there was no imminent crisis after Changyin Mountain was opened up, Fang Suichu had nothing to do along the way.

But in fact, in order to practice, he was racking his brains to think.

When it came to strengthening his bones, he could only think of getting hit. Broken bones become stronger when they heal, that's probably the reason...

But then he remembered the video of opening the dragon spine that he saw when he was watching short videos in his previous life. With his talent and intelligence, this bone-strengthening stance exercise with the spine dragon as the core was newly created.

"After eating, if you practice the 'Big Dragon Posture', your efficiency in transforming grain into essence will be doubled with half the effort."

After the selfless enlightenment of Chang Yinzi, a cultivator who has half a foot in the spiritual secret realm, Fang Suichu is only half a step away from reaching the Bone Tempering Realm.

In the next month, if you eat a lot of food every day, you will be able to make a breakthrough through hard work.

"But after all, the energy these ordinary foods can provide is still too little. As expected, the answer in this version still encourages people to kill more monsters and obtain pills that increase energy and blood." Fang Suichu thought to himself.

"Is bone strengthening really that powerful?" Li Qingming's eyes lit up after seeing Fang Suichu once again demonstrate his pure physical strength.

"According to you, after opening the meridians comes bone strengthening. What comes after bone strengthening?"

"I haven't thought about it yet..." Fang Suichu said bluntly.

Fang Suichu's words made Li Qingming pause. She then remembered that the immortal path that the three of them were practicing was created by the person in front of her from scratch.

"However, we should be able to think of it by then." Fang Suichu said confidently again.

He is not exaggerating. He has a lot of immortal cultivation novel systems in his mind for reference. With this theoretical foundation, coupled with his amazing wisdom, it is not a problem for him to reach the next level of cultivation.

Looking at Fang Suichu's confident and high-spirited look, Li Qingming couldn't help but admire him.

Thinking back to Fang Suichu's foolishness before he died, perhaps that foolishness stemmed from divine jealousy. Even his current maddening behavior might be a punishment for this talent.

Fang Suichu naturally didn't realize that he had inadvertently shown off, otherwise he would have been unable to stop himself from reciting some childish quotes.

However, this high spirits did not last for a few days.

On the fifth day, Fang Suichu looked at the worried-looking girl Wu Yuanshuo and asked in disbelief:

"Running out of money?"

Fang Suichu believed that the more humanity collapsed in this world, the more we should uphold our principles. He would never do something like forcibly taking advantage of others or eating a meal for free.

Everything you do along the way costs money.

If you ask where the money comes from, it is naturally the selfless contribution of Changyin Temple.

Fang Suichu looted some gold and silver in Changyin Temple.

Although Fang Suichu didn't have much of an idea about money, in a world where copper coins were used daily, this amount of gold and silver was a huge sum of money. Therefore, he hadn't considered saving money.

"Brother Suichu, I mentioned this to you the day before yesterday."

Listening to Wu Yuanshuo's words, Fang Suichu had some impression that he seemed to have said it, but he didn't care at that time.

"But we haven't had much to spend money on these days. We just spent it on food and drink."

There are some things that Wu Yuanshuo is reluctant to talk about, but Li Qingming speaks frankly.

"But I can't stand eating like this."

Fang Suichu's daily food intake is equivalent to the daily food intake of a hundred young and middle-aged people.

In the past few days, the restaurant where Fang Suichu dined only served Fang Suichu as a customer.

Fang Suichu's consumption over the past few days directly helped the restaurant achieve more than a month's sales.

"Besides, the dishes in this restaurant are not cheap."

This is the best restaurant in the area. A banquet here is enough to cover my annual expenses.

Chapter 29: Visiting Card

"Okay, I'm overthinking it."

Fang Suichu shook his head:

"I didn't expect we're still at the bottom of Mahno's hierarchy of needs."

In fact, that cannot be said. Fang Suichu's excessive eating and drinking these days is not just to fill his stomach, but the element of cultivation plays a big part in it.

As the saying goes, even a penny can make a hero fall, and the same may be true in this world.

Fang Suichu, however, did not have such worries. He had no money, so according to the practice theory of Dharma, Friends, Wealth and Land, he could find a fellow Taoist and ask him to stay and provide some financial support.

"How much is left?"

Fang Suichu asked Wu Yuanshuo.

Wu Yuanshuo is good at accounting. Although she is weak, she is very thoughtful, so the management of the funds was given to her every year.

"There's still some money left for the journey... enough to get to Tongcheng Provincial Government." Wu Yuanshuo said softly.

It was obvious that Fang Suichu asked her to manage the accounts, and she took it very seriously.

Fang Suichu's hometown is in the next state. The journey home is long, and he definitely cannot save on travel expenses.

The territory of this world is much larger than that of Fang Suichu's previous life. Moving between cities within a state is fine, but it is obviously unrealistic to let Fang Suichu and his two companions, who are unfamiliar with the roads, travel across states by themselves.

"Is that so? It seems I really need to find a fellow Taoist for help on the road." Fang Suichu nodded.

Fang Suichu did not feel any psychological pressure in killing the person who practiced evil ways.

From his perspective as an immortal cultivator, almost all the weird people in this world are a group of evil demons.

Coming back to his thoughts, Fang Suichu nodded to Wu Yuanshuo and Li Qingming:

"Okay, after spending so many days in Cangsong County, I'm almost done resting. Let's go buy some supplies and rest here for one last night. Tomorrow we'll check out and continue our journey."

Just as the three were about to leave Cangsong County and return to the inn to rest, the inn owner came up to them and said that someone had handed them a visiting card.

There are some familiar names on the visiting cards.

"The visiting card from Miss Jin?"

Li Qingming came over and saw the visiting card.

The person who delivered the invitation was none other than Jin Bailu, whom he had met briefly in the wild earlier. This young lady from the Jin family said that she was inviting Fang Suichu and the other two to a restaurant for dinner that evening.

And that restaurant happened to be where Fang had been eating during the past few days of New Year's Eve.

Fang Suichu wasn't surprised that Miss Jin could find their place. After all, Fang Suichu had been eating and drinking lavishly in the restaurant these past few days, and in his Taoist robes, he still attracted quite a lot of attention.

Li Qingming came over to read the contents of the invitation and showed a suspicious look on his face: "This Miss Jin is still staying in Cangsong County?"

After all, the two sides met in the wild, and the escort team of the Tongxiang Escort Agency looked like they were on their way. And the other party's words suggested that their destination should be Tongcheng Prefecture.

"I was clearly on my way, but I stayed in Cangsong County and even found you... I smelled trouble on New Year's Eve."

The young lady from the Jin family came from a wealthy family, and the Jin family had considerable influence in Shuzhou.

Although he had intended to make friends with Fang Suichu, he had always maintained his composure. After seeing that Fang Suichu was not interested in him, he tactfully left.

But at this moment, this visiting card seemed a little abrupt. Although the words in the visiting card were still polite and considerate, there was a hint of pleading in it.

"Yes."

Hearing Li Qingming's words, Fang Suichu nodded affirmatively:

"I smell a side quest. I take it back. Friendly NPCs are still somewhat useful."

Li Qingming had become somewhat immune to Fang Suichu's occasional sudden and incomprehensible remarks. She asked:

"Are you going to the banquet?"

"Go, of course, why not? It's a chance to have a free meal... That Miss Jin looks like a very wealthy woman. Fortunately, my stomach is very strong now, so I can eat anything." Fang Suichu replied without hesitation.

---

Near dusk, in the best private room of the best restaurant in Cangsong County, a veiled woman was sitting by the window looking at the Cangsong County in front of her.

The face under the veil was slightly frowned, and it was obvious that her mind was not looking at the scenery outside the window, but thinking about something.

There was a knock on the door of the private room.

"Please come in."

The waiter opened the door, led the three men and women into the private room, and then gently closed the door and left.

At this moment, Jin Bailu also stood up from his seat and bowed to the three people.

"Master, and the two young ladies, we meet again."

"Yes, we meet again, Miss Jin."

Fang Suichu was not so polite and took Li Qingming and Wu Yuanshuo to sit down directly.

"Master, it's really presumptuous of me to send you a visiting card. I still don't know your name or the names of the two young ladies."

"No need to be so noble, my surname is Fang, my given name is Suichu, and these two are called Li Qingming and Wu Yuanshuo, they are my relatives."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Can we have dinner now?"

Fang Suichu's straightforward introduction and questioning made Jin Bailu, who had already prepared many speeches, hesitate and then didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Jin Bailu is a first-class interpersonal person. After smiling, she told the waiter to serve the dishes directly.

While the dishes were being served, Jin Bailu took off her veil, revealing her pretty face.
