The faint spiritual energy between heaven and earth quietly gathered towards him.
Before long, the entire room was filled with white mist.
And on his body, a faint golden light even sacredly appeared.
Yun Mochen felt the spiritual energy in the surrounding space.
It was constantly transforming into golden spiritual power through the operation of Overturning Heaven Skill, continuously nourishing and filling all the Meridians in his body.
"Isn't spiritual power always light blue? Why is mine golden..."
"Master, the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills in this world are ranked Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, decreasing in order."
"Although I cannot tell you the level of Overturning Heaven Skill, one thing is certain: it is definitely above the Heaven Rank Advanced level."
"Therefore, the Heaven-Defying aspects of Overturning Heaven Skill still need you to discover them yourself, as for the golden spiritual power."
"It's just one of the hidden benefits."
Hiss——!
The System's words couldn't help but make Yun Mochen's heart tremble.
You must know that in the entire Huaxia Country, perhaps only those five Emperor Clans possess Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques.
As for everyone else, don't even think about it; some people have never even seen an Earth Rank Cultivation Technique in their entire lives.
So it's understandable how shocked Yun Mochen was when the System told him the approximate level of Overturning Heaven Skill.
"Then aren't I invincible?"
Just as Yun Mochen was indulging in fantasy in his spiritual world, the System directly poured a basin of cold water on him:
"Master, there is never absolute invincibility in the world."
"The invincibility in your eyes is only relatively invincible when compared within a certain circle of yours."
"But Master, you must know that there are always people better than you, and there is always a higher heaven."
"Take the myths and legends compiled in your Huaxia Country, for example. A certain cultivation Genius with extraordinary talent, who cultivated diligently for a lifetime and was invincible for a lifetime, ultimately only became one of the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers blocking Sun Wukong."
"Therefore, Master, Tong Zi hopes you will never have an arrogant and impatient heart."
"Humility and hiding one's capabilities are always the most terrifying methods."
Yun Mochen fell silent, his face instantly showing some embarrassment.
Looked at this way, his own thoughts were indeed too naive.
"Thanks, Tong Zi."
Afterwards, Yun Mochen gradually calmed his excited heart and wholeheartedly entered a state of cultivation.
With each breath he took, he was surrounded by faint white spiritual energy; the whole person looked very mysterious.
An hour later.
"Master, the pot."
"Ah? What pot... Holy crap, my beef soup!"
Yun Mochen, who had reacted.
He directly sprinted to the kitchen, grabbed the wet rag on the cutting board, and lifted the large pot of beef soup down.
"Phew~ It smells so good!"
Yun Mochen blew away the steaming vapor.
The overwhelming beef aroma frantically stimulated his taste buds, and his entire throat couldn't help but violently convulse.
His lower abdomen felt as if it had been completely devoured by a gluttonous beast, incredibly hungry!
Yun Mochen didn't care about scalding his mouth, directly grabbed a large beef bone, and shoved it into his mouth!
"Ah! So hot! *Huff huff*... Delicious!"
A large pot of about three pounds of beef.
Before long, it was completely eaten, and even the soup was drunk clean!
"So satisfying..."
Yun Mochen, with his bulging belly, sat back in his desk chair.
Wait...
I ate three pounds by myself??
This is my food intake for three meals!
"Tong Zi, what's wrong with my appetite... and that extreme hunger just now... it was too uncomfortable!"
"Master, this is the only drawback of Overturning Heaven Skill."
Yun Mochen suddenly remembered.
When he first obtained the Overturning Heaven Skill, besides cultivating as fast as a dog in the features column, there was also the point about absorbing a large amount of vital energy.
"Could it be that eating meat can also absorb vital energy?"
"Of course! Meat inherently contains vital energy. The reason Master felt incredibly hungry was because cultivating Overturning Heaven Skill absorbed a large amount of vital energy from your body."
"This led to your vital energy deficiency, which caused the reaction you just had."
"And the vital energy contained in the beef you ate happened to replenish the amount you just consumed, which is why you ate quite a lot."
"However..."
The System's tone suddenly paused, and Yun Mochen quickly asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Master, the beef you just ate should not be ordinary beef..."
"But premium beef raised in a place with extremely dense spiritual energy!"
Yun Mochen was startled inwardly, feeling it was impossible.
Butcher was originally just an ordinary person, and the vegetable market was just an ordinary small market.
Where would premium beef come from?
"Tong Zi, are you mistaken?"
"Master, there's no mistake."
"Logically speaking, the beef required to replenish the consumption from your recent Overturning Heaven Skill cultivation would need at least eight pounds!"
"But you felt full after eating only three pounds."
"This indicates that the beef definitely contained a lot of vital energy!"
Yun Mochen fell into deep thought, muttering inwardly:
"Could it be... that Tu Shu is also a Cultivator?"
"And that meat was killed from the nearby Heavenly Demon Mountain Range..."
The more Yun Mochen thought about this deduction, the more he felt it was possible.
Because every morning.
Butcher would indeed go out to purchase goods for a few hours, while several meat vendors next to him chose to have manufacturers deliver the goods to their door.
"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. The urgent matter is to figure out where to get so much meat!"
Butcher was very good to him. Even if he had some identity, did it have anything to do with him?
And what was bothering him the most right now was that he was a student without a job...
Where would he get so much money to buy meat?
According to the System's words, Yun Mochen deduced.
One hour requires eight pounds of beef, so cultivating for one night, calculated as twelve hours, would require ninety-six pounds of beef!
At the market price of 30 per pound, ninety-six pounds of beef would be 2880 yuan!
His monthly subsidy was only 2000 yuan...
"What a headache..."
Yun Mochen crossed his hands behind his neck, raised his head to look at the ceiling, feeling very helpless.
"Master, vital energy doesn't necessarily have to be absorbed by eating; it can also be done using Overturning Heaven Skill."
"Isn't that shop of your Tu Shu a place where a large amount of vital energy exists?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Mochen's body suddenly straightened up, saying with a face full of excitement:
"Tong Zi, well done!"
"It's nothing, nothing at all~"
Afterwards, Yun Mochen scrolled through the trending topics again, and seeing the words full of negativity towards him, he didn't take it to heart.
Before going to bed, he suddenly took out his phone again and opened a contact named "Bai Cha Qing Huan".
"Wasn't it called 'Give Candy and Won't Make a Fuss'... why did she even change her online name?"
Yun Mochen was very puzzled, shook his head, and typed a few lines of text on his phone.
He felt it was a bit inappropriate again, deleted the lines he had just written, wrote a few lines again, but was still not satisfied.
And deleted them again.
Finally, after deleting and rewriting repeatedly more than a dozen times.
Yun Mochen finally sent one word:
"【Seven-An (Yun Mochen): Wait.】"
He wanted to tell Zhu Qing'an that he would work hard and hoped she could wait for him.
After sending, Yun Mochen turned off his phone and put it aside.
But after a few minutes, he couldn't suppress his inner feelings and opened the contact "Bai Cha Qing Huan" again.
"I thought it was on silent... Let's sleep."
But after a while, Yun Mochen opened it again, but still didn't see the reply he was hoping for.
"Maybe her phone was confiscated... This time I'm really going to sleep."
Just like that, a sleepless night quietly passed.
"Ooh ooh ooh!"
As a clear rooster crow sounded, dawn broke through the long dark night, casting a faint glimmer of light.
"Still no reply... Forget it, I'll go talk to Tu Shu first!"
