Chapter 2678 Dining At The Table Of A Legend

Meng Bai's breath caught.

"A Quad-Horned Bull? Those are found deep in the forest!"

Lin Mu nodded nonchalantly, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world.

Meng Bai's heart pounded. The mere thought of such a powerful creature being hunted and prepared for a meal was almost unfathomable.

"What was its cultivation base?" he asked, almost afraid of the answer.

Lin Mu turned to his companion.

"Shrubby?"

Little Shrubby barely paused in his movements before answering casually.

"Oh, it was just at the Dao Treading Realm."

Lin Mu relayed the information with the same level of ease.

Meng Bai froze, his mind blanking for the second time that night. His jaw went slack.

"D-Dao Treading Realm!?" he stammered, his voice cracking.

Lin Mu gave him an amused look.

"Yeah. I can't feed you Immortal Beast meat yet. You'd explode into a red mist."

Meng Bai gulped, his gaze darting to the massive pile of meat still waiting to be cooked. The faint energy radiating from it was undeniable.

'This... This is all Dao Treading Realm beast meat...'

"Yes, Master."

Without hesitation, he sat down, crossing his legs as he began his meditation. He knew he could not waste this opportunity.

Unlike Lin Mu, who possessed the Nameless Technique of the Lost Immortal, or Little Shrubby, whose beastly appetite allowed him to devour large amounts without worry, Meng Bai was still a Core Condensation realm cultivator. His ability to consume and digest such immense energy was far more limited.

But he was determined to absorb as much as possible.

As he circulated his Qi, he felt the immense influx of power rushing through his meridians. His Dantian, already close to its limit, swelled with the sudden intake of energy. It quickly became clear that it could not hold any more spirit Qi, and so the excess energy began to focus on expanding his Dantian itself.

It was a slow, arduous process, but Meng Bai welcomed it. Every bit of progress mattered.

Meanwhile, the vitality he had consumed worked its way through his body, nourishing his flesh, blood, and organs.

Before today, Meng Bai had been somewhat malnourished. His past injuries had hindered his growth and left scars that had yet to fully heal. Without the necessary resources, his body had remained underdeveloped.

But now, all of that was changing.

At fifteen years old, Meng Bai was slightly shorter than average, standing at only 164 centimeters. His lack of proper nutrition had stunted his growth, delaying his natural development. The same could be said for the numerous scars scattered across his body, remnants of a harsh and unforgiving life.

Yet, as he meditated, he could feel his body regenerating. His wounds, old and new, began to fade. His bones strengthened, his muscles became denser, and his blood ran hotter with newfound vitality.

Lin Mu watched from the sidelines, quietly finishing his own meal with Little Shrubby. Once they were done, he observed Meng Bai with a keen gaze.

'It'll take him a while to process all of that energy,' Lin Mu assessed. 'I'll just leave him be for now.'

With nothing else to do at the moment, he retired to his room, resuming his reading.

Time passed. The moons traversed the sky, the stars shimmering in their celestial dance. Slowly, the horizon began to brighten as the first rays of the sun stretched across the heavens.

At long last, Meng Bai exhaled, a deep breath filled with satisfaction.

"Huuuu."

He had finally finished assimilating all the energy from his meal. It had taken him the entire night, yet he felt no fatigue. If anything, he was more refreshed than ever.
