#845 - Chapter 845 Barbecue Feast

Ye Kong pondered for a while, thinking maybe he should take a trip to South Sky Island. Although he had never been there, it was said to be abundant with sea demons and wild beasts.

Legend had it that South Sky Island moved around, and because it was so difficult to find, Ye Kong had never gone.

If he didn't go now, he wouldn't make it back in time for tomorrow's barbecue. So, Ye Kong decided to try his luck.

Ye Kong concentrated his energy, instantly disappearing from his spot, and in the next second, he appeared on the surface of the Forgotten Sea.

He leaped into the sky, shuttling through the clouds, observing the sea surface below. He circled the sea at an extremely fast speed, but didn't find South Sky Island.

The Forgotten Sea was vast, seemingly endless. It was like a forgotten world, where the sea surface cut the world into above and below the sea level.

Could it be that South Sky Island wasn't here? A wave of doubt washed over Ye Kong, but just as he was about to leave, a black dot caught his eye.

Yes, a black dot appeared on the distant sea. However, the black dot was moving, getting smaller and smaller, moving towards the horizon where the sea met the sky.

A surge of joy filled his heart, and he immediately soared through the clouds, flying across the vast sea. The black dot grew larger and larger in his eyes.

Finally, Ye Kong steadily landed on the black dot. He looked around, and it was a small landmass formed by moving coral reefs.

After tens of thousands of years of accumulation and weathering, many sea demons died, and their hard skeletal remains stuck to this place. It had already become an island, providing a habitat for other creatures.

The island was lush with green grass, dense with trees, and rich in spiritual energy. The creatures living here all had abundant spiritual energy stored within them.

Ye Kong looked around, concealing his aura, because he had found his prey: a Celestial Dragon Flame Crane, catching food in the water grass.

This crane was different from other cranes. Its body was light red, and it had two small dragon horns on its head. It was aggressive and would breathe fire when in danger.

Ye Kong didn't care about that. Anyway, the disciples' barbecue feast depended on it.

He quietly approached the Celestial Dragon Flame Crane, and from behind, he cast his small fishing rod. The hook automatically bent and hooked the Celestial Dragon Flame Crane's hind leg.

By the time it realized the pain, it was too late. It began to scream and roar, flapping its huge wings incessantly, spitting out fireballs, stirring up the entire island, causing it to tremble slightly.

As soon as Ye Kong made his move, a huge stream of spiritual energy directly wrapped the Celestial Dragon Flame Crane. 'You beast, you will be my food sooner or later. Your struggles are futile.'

In the stream of energy, Ye Kong's voice was like a bell, crashing towards the Celestial Dragon Flame Crane. It trembled in fear, daring not to struggle, and could only lie on the ground in despair.

'That's more like it,' Ye Kong walked over, grabbed the Celestial Dragon Flame Crane's beak, and with a powerful twist, snapped its neck. Then, he put it into his storage ring and began his return journey.

This Celestial Dragon Flame Crane must have undergone more than ten or even dozens of mutations to become what it was today, able to breathe fire and have dragon horns.

The spiritual energy accumulated in its body was too abundant. The disciples might not be able to handle it. Tomorrow, he would have to roast it well to filter out the excess spiritual energy.

This was a treat for his dozen or so disciples. Ye Kong felt a slight heaviness on his shoulders. Indeed, this Celestial Dragon Flame Crane must weigh hundreds of pounds, but it should be enough to share.

Back at逍遥峰(Xiaoyao Peak), Ye Kong quickly boiled water, plucked the Celestial Dragon Flame Crane's feathers, and cut it into pieces suitable for roasting. He then added Profound Yellow Liquid, Underworld Grass, and Wind-Fire Vine for marinating.

Although the cut-open internal organs contained vigorous spiritual energy, they also accumulated thousands of years of turbid energy, which could not be resolved without sufficient cultivation.

Therefore, Ye Kong blanched the internal organs in boiling water and then repeatedly roasted them with spiritual energy in the Tortoise Shell Flame Pot.

This Tortoise Shell Flame Pot was made from the shell of a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise that he had caught. It was incomparably hard and full of profound spiritual energy.

Ordinary food, when cooked in it, would become more delicious and have doubled spiritual energy.

This Celestial Dragon Flame Crane is really good, Ye Kong couldn't help but praise.

Disciples, it's not that your teacher is secretly eating, but that you can't withstand the power of these delicious organs. Tomorrow, your teacher will roast the Celestial Dragon Flame Crane's body for you.

After eating, Ye Kong had a good night's sleep. Unconsciously, his spiritual energy seemed to have become much more abundant, and he was getting closer and closer to Foundation Establishment.

The next day, Ye Kong slept until the sun was high in the sky. Last night, going to South Sky Island to catch the Celestial Dragon Flame Crane had taken a lot of effort.

When he got up full of energy, he could already see the shimmering waves on the Bitter Sea through the window, emitting colorful light.

The disciples of Xiaoyao Peak had been looking forward to Ye Kong's barbecue since the night before. They started to anticipate it. In the morning, they endured their rumbling stomachs, waiting for their master to start the meal.

"Goo goo goo," their stomachs reminded them obediently that they were really hungry, but they didn't dare to directly call Ye Kong.

The other junior brothers and sisters came to find Little White. Little White rolled his eyes and had no choice but to reluctantly take them to find the Eldest Senior Sister, Lin Yaoyao.

"I haven't smelled the aroma of barbecue from the Bitter Sea. Master wouldn't go back on his word, would he?"

"Shut your crow's mouth," Lin Yaoyao glared at Little White, scaring him into quickly shutting his mouth.

Finally, when the sun was overhead, Erha first started to "hmm hmm" excitedly, circling Little White non-stop.

Immediately afterward, a trace of the aroma of barbecue finally drifted from the Bitter Sea, and it became stronger and stronger. The disciples swallowed their saliva one after another.

"Don't look like starving ghosts. Walk over as usual," Lin Yaoyao said, but she was the first to walk in front.

Ye Kong was roasting the Celestial Dragon Flame Crane's flesh with spiritual energy by the Bitter Sea. He constantly adjusted the firepower, reducing the power of the Celestial Dragon Flame Crane's flesh to a level that his disciples could accept.

The barbecue made a "sizzling" sound on the grill. The marinated spices, combined with the meat's own fragrance, made people feel refreshed and hungry.

"Master, we're here," Lin Yaoyao greeted loudly, revealing a shallow smile.

"You're here. Sit over there," Ye Kong pointed to the willow tree by the Bitter Sea and said with a faint smile.

"Master, do you need us to help?" Little White asked weakly.

"No need. The heat of this barbecue changes at any time. Just wait to eat."

Another half an hour passed, and when the "goo goo" sounds under the willow tree were heard one after another, the last piece of barbecue was finally roasted.
