Wang Baole glanced at the medallion, but didn't ask any questions. He lifted his hand and made a grasping motion, causing the medallion to fly toward him. After grabbing it, Wang Baole put it away. Then he looked toward the forest, toward the source of the strange aroma.
When the late Yuanying Cultivator saw that Wang Baole had put away the medallion, he let out a sigh of relief. However, he was still on guard, and he spoke politely.
"Fellow Daoist, please."
With that, he stepped to the side, not daring to leave his back to Wang Baole. Instead, he waited for Wang Baole to step forward. The two early Yuanying Cultivators on either side of him spread out a bit further. They didn't display any signs of aggression, but rather, were on guard.
Wang Baole didn't pay any attention to their actions. His body flickered as he walked toward the forest. The late Yuanying Cultivator next to him also began to move. The two of them entered the forest at almost the same time, and soon, they saw the source of the strange aroma.
It was a large cauldron about the height of a person. It was green, and carved with totems and magical symbols. It emanated an ancient aura, and the magical symbols seemed to contain profound meaning. When combined with the totems, the cauldron emitted a low rumbling sound.
It was as if there was something inside the cauldron that seemed to possess incredible power. It was attacking the cauldron in an attempt to break out, but it was difficult to do so. The cauldron continued to refine it, and the aroma caused people to go crazy.
At the same time, there were signs of battle, and off in the distance, a few corpses could be seen.
The sight of this caused Wang Baole's eyebrows to shoot up. He stepped forward and sent his Divine Sense sweeping through the interior of the cauldron. He could clearly see that there was a golden thread inside the cauldron that looked like the hair or whiskers of some living creature. It was boiling inside the cauldron.
Perhaps the boiling water had originally been clear and colorless, but at the moment, its color was slowly changing. It was now a faint golden color, and the aroma was growing stronger.
"This is …." Wang Baole's eyes narrowed. Despite his vast experience and knowledge, he couldn't recognize what it was. However, he could sense that if he consumed it, it would nourish his fleshly body, and would have a very good effect.
To him, it wasn't very useful, but to a Yuanying cultivator, it was no different from a precious treasure.
While Wang Baole was sizing up the huge cauldron, the late Yuanying Cultivator was also observing Wang Baole. He noticed that Wang Baole's expression was normal, and he didn't seem to have any greedy thoughts because of the strange beard. Only then did he calm down a little and sigh to himself. He regretted taking the initiative to stop Wang Baole when he was clearly about to leave.
In the end, he managed to stop such a murderous god.
He waved his hand, causing a blue beam of light to fly out from his bag of holding. It transformed into a puppet that looked like a Daoist child. It held the copper bowl in its hand, then walked over to the cauldron and scooped up some of the bowls. Then it brought them over to Wang Baole.
"Fellow Daoist, this is a great supplement. Please."
Wang Baole's face was expressionless. He took the bottle and put it to his mouth, drinking a mouthful. To him, with the level of his main body, both curses and poisons were useless.
Even if he was only a clone, it was still the same.
As the warm soup entered his stomach, it turned into a warm current that spread throughout his body. Wang Baole's eyes couldn't help but light up. Although the soup didn't have much of an effect on him, the taste was unprecedented and extremely delicious.
After drinking it, Wang Baole licked his lips and said, "Another bowl."
The late Yuanying Cultivator felt his heart ache, but he still had the Daoist child puppet bring him another bowl. Then he did the same and sat down with Wang Baole to savor the soup.
As for the two early Yuanying Cultivators, they could only stand there and swallow their saliva.
Just like that, Wang Baole and the late Yuanying Cultivator drank one bowl after another. Wang Baole also casually asked some questions. Because he had said that he was a cultivator from Ancient Era City, the late Yuanying Cultivator didn't think too much of Wang Baole's questions. After all, it was just some common knowledge, and there was no need to hide anything.
Therefore, after an hour, the golden tentacles in the tripod cauldron had been completely refined, and the meat soup had turned golden. After the two of them had drunk almost eighty percent of the soup, Wang Baole had also obtained what he wanted.
For example, he learned that the golden tentacles were called Mutated Tentacles. As for what they were, the Cultivator didn't know. He only knew that they were a special ingredient in Appetite City. Every month, there was a limit to how much they could be sold. Only those who had completed missions from Appetite City were qualified to buy them.
What they had here wasn't something they bought, but rather plundered. Because it was difficult to store them, and the cooking method was fixed, they didn't have much time. They could only kill and steal the treasure and cook it on the spot.
That was why the Mutated Aroma had spread, and why the black-robed old man who had died at Wang Baole's hands had stopped them.
At the same time, Wang Baole had also obtained the answer he wanted regarding the City of Appetite's entry token. Tens of thousands of miles away was one of the seven largest cities in this world, Appetite City.
Although the city wasn't closed all year round, there were strict requirements for those who came and went. They had to have a token before they could enter and leave the city. Furthermore, there was a limit to the number of times they could use the token. If they didn't leave after the limit was reached, they would be punished by Appetite City.
After the limit was used up, they had to complete missions to obtain more tokens. Otherwise, they would no longer be qualified to enter the city.
"Appetite City is a paradise for us Itinerant Cultivators," the late-stage Yuanying cultivator sitting opposite Wang Baole said emotionally.
"Over there, as long as you can pay the price, you can obtain unimaginable delicacies. Every delicacy can increase your cultivation base."
"Especially on the first day of every month, the Gluttony Festival, where the whole city cheers. Just smelling the aroma can nourish your soul. Counting the days, today is the day. It's a pity that I have other matters to attend to, so I can't make it …"
Listening to the words of the cultivator in front of him and feeling his admiration for the City of Appetite, Wang Baole's interest was piqued. Seeing that the soup was almost finished, he stood up and bid farewell to the cultivator, who was secretly overjoyed.
Only when Wang Baole was far away did the late-stage Yuanying cultivator heave a sigh of relief. His two companions, who didn't dare to come close, quickly came over and immediately served the soup. Although they were depressed, they were also glad that at least they still had some left …
After finishing the soup as quickly as possible, the three of them put the cauldron away and hurried off.
At the same time, Wang Baole was speeding through the sky toward Appetite City, following the directions he had received. If it were any other Cultivator, a few hundred thousand kilometers wouldn't be considered very far, but it would still take some time. Furthermore, there were some restrictions and obstacles to teleportation in this place.
However, this wasn't a problem for Wang Baole. Two hours later, Wang Baole, who was speeding through the skies, saw in the distance … an enormous city that shook him to his core!
The entire city was like a gigantic cauldron, and the sounds of bustling could be heard even from far away. The most eye-catching thing was the green smoke rising into the air from the city, forming a large dark cloud in the sky. Bolts of lightning sliced through the dark cloud, and thunder rumbled.
However, it couldn't suppress the cheering coming from within the city. It was as if … some grand event was taking place within the city.
Outside the city, a large number of cultivators were queuing up to enter the city.
"Appetite City," Wang Baole murmured, his eyes narrowing.
