The old man looked at Cheng Yu's back and felt somewhat baffled. He had to admit that Cheng Yu's roasted meat was very tasty. However, he could not admit it. With just a glance, he could tell that Cheng Yu was up to no good.
Not long after, Cheng Yu ran out from the forest. This time, he was dragging a goat behind him. Walking to the riverside, both of his hands emitted a faint white light. After that, he started to touch the goat's body. Not far away, the old man who was holding the roasted fish was baffled.
This time, Cheng Yu wanted to roast the whole goat properly. After he used his Qi to soften the goat's body, he used his Qi as a knife to peel off the fur. After he took out the internal organs, he smeared the seasoning on the inside and outside of the goat. After that, he skewered the goat on a tree branch and started to roast it.
"Could it be that this kid just fought and is hungry again?" When the old man saw Cheng Yu flipping the goat on the roasting frame and smearing the seasoning on it, he thought to himself.
After more than two hours, the fragrance of the roasted goat had drifted far away. Although the old man had already eaten quite a lot, he was still unable to resist the enticing fragrance. He sat opposite Cheng Yu and stared at the goat on the roasting frame attentively.
"Want to eat?" Cheng Yu smiled as he looked at the old man who was staring at the roasted goat. "What a pity. This is mine."
"Do you think that if I wanted it, you would be able to stop me?" The old man said disapprovingly.
"Old man, no matter what, you are still a senior. Don't you think that this kind of method is very shameful?"
"I don't think so," The old man replied casually. He did not take Cheng Yu's words seriously at all.
"Haha! Old man, I know that you are very powerful. But if I really wanted to keep it, you would not be able to snatch it. Furthermore, even if you managed to eat it this time, you might not be able to eat it again next time. Actually, if you want to eat it, you don't have to snatch it. How about we do a business deal? "Cheng Yu laughed.
"What business deal?" The old man asked curiously.
"You will be my bodyguard for three months, and I will prepare delicious food for you for three months. Also, I have some good wine in my hands," Cheng Yu took out a wine pot and said.
"Haha! Kid, you really have a good idea. It turns out that you are playing so many tricks just to make me protect you. However, you are really daring. To dare to ask me to be his bodyguard, you are definitely the first! "When the old man heard Cheng Yu's words, he laughed. It was as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "You underestimate this old man too much. You want me to protect you for three months just like that?"
"Old man, you can't say it like that. First of all, I don't know how powerful your identity is. However, we are only taking what we need. Besides, with your cultivation, protecting me, a Foundation Establishment Realm kid, is just a piece of cake for you. Furthermore, as long as you stand beside me, you don't even need to make a move, and you will be able to scare the enemy away.
Look at your sloppy appearance. I don't even know how long it has been since you have eaten such delicious food. Otherwise, you wouldn't have snatched my roasted meat. However, if you follow me, I will be able to serve you with good wine and meat every day. Isn't that better than you cultivating bitterly every day? "When Cheng Yu saw the old man was looking at him with contempt, he did not mind it at all. Instead, he looked at him and spoke frankly with assurance.
Previously, Cheng Yu wanted to use the old man to test the gap between him and Golden Core Realm. However, after thinking about it, if he was able to get this old man to become his bodyguard, wouldn't he be very safe for the next few months in the Cultivation World? At least, he wouldn't have to worry about Kunlun sending experts over.
Most importantly, his cultivation had not improved at all, causing Cheng Yu to be very upset. If he was able to have such an expert as his sparring partner every day, Cheng Yu believed that his strength would definitely increase by a level. Perhaps, it might even be possible for him to advance to Golden Core Realm.
When he thought of all the benefits, Cheng Yu was even more determined to get the old man to be his bodyguard.
"Ha! You really know how to talk. Although this old man is very tasty, if you want to use these to move me, then you are wrong," The old man was not moved by Cheng Yu's words.
As a cultivator, they were very particular about letting nature take its course. Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation were things that they might need, but it wasn't a necessity.
It was just like the reason why the old man wanted to snatch Cheng Yu's roasted meat. If he had not met Cheng Yu, the old man would still be able to live his life. However, since Cheng Yu had tasty food, he had the ability to snatch it. Why would he need to think about how to eat and drink all day?
Therefore, their thoughts were very simple and direct.
"Alright. I hate to force others," Cheng Yu smiled. With a wave of his hand, he kept all the roasted mutton into his storage ring. After that, he stood up and left.
"Oi! Kid, can't you be a little more generous in front of your senior? As the saying goes, even if business fails, benevolence and righteousness remain. I have accompanied you to roast meat for half a day. You should at least share some with this old man! "When he saw how Cheng Yu did things so decisively and straightforwardly, the old man was dumbfounded.
"Sorry. I only talk about benevolence and righteousness with my own people," Cheng Yu did not even turn his head back as he continued walking forward.
"This kid, neither soft nor hard," The old man was gloomy. Originally, he thought that Cheng Yu would think of ways to make him his bodyguard. However, he did not expect Cheng Yu to be so straightforward. The moment he opened his mouth to reject, Cheng Yu gave up.
Wasn't he too insincere?! In the Cultivation World, he was an illustrious person. Could it be that he would be cheated away by a few roasted meat? If so, wouldn't he be too worthless?
What was even more hateful was that this kid did not seem to place him in his eyes at all. Looking at Cheng Yu's indifferent gaze, this was the first time the old man felt that he was really worthless.
Of course, Cheng Yu would not give up so easily. Did he think that he would be able to find such a high-grade helper so easily? If he begged Cheng Yu, he would be in a disadvantageous position.
However, Cheng Yu did not have any confidence in this method of loosening the reins only to grasp better. When he saw the old man was following behind him, Cheng Yu laughed. He did not bother about the old man as he took out his flying sword and flew towards Tianhai City.
Originally, Cheng Yu planned to go to Maple Leaf City first. However, he felt that the current Maple Leaf City was no longer safe. It could even be said that the entire Kunlun region had caused Cheng Yu to feel insecure. Therefore, after considering it over and over again, Cheng Yu decided to leave Kunlun's sphere of influence as soon as possible.
Not to mention anything else, once he left Kunlun's sphere of influence, the number of Kunlun's spies would decrease by a lot. At the same time, he would not have to be watched by others every single moment.
Three days passed by very quickly. For the past three days, the old man had been following Cheng Yu not too far away. The reason why the old man had been following Cheng Yu was not only because Cheng Yu could make delicious food.
The most important reason was that the old man was very interested in Cheng Yu. Or perhaps it could be said that he was very interested in Cheng Yu's Phantom Fist. Every time Cheng Yu stopped to make food, the old man would appear.
"Old man, this isn't good. You are not willing to be my bodyguard, yet you want to eat my food every day. Aren't you ashamed of your old face?" Cheng Yu did not wish to be too excessive. After all, the old man's cultivation was too high. If he were to provoke the old man too much, he would be in deep trouble. In any case, the old man had been following Cheng Yu. He could be considered as half a bodyguard.
"Hmph! Don't think that I don't know anything. For the past three days, every time you eat, you would fight with me. Could it be that you are not trying to obtain some benefits? Every time, you would pretend to be so angry. Actually, you want me to spar with you. You are too cunning, "The old man took down the pheasant on the grill and looked at Cheng Yu in disdain.
However, in his heart, the old man still admired Cheng Yu. There were only a few Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who dared to spar with a Golden Core expert. Of course, the old man had suppressed his cultivation. Furthermore, he did not use any strong attacks. Even so, Cheng Yu was still oppressed.
"Haha! Old man, we are the same. Don't treat me as a fool. The reason why you are still willing to spar with me and even forced me to use my ultimate move, isn't it also because you want to comprehend it?" Cheng Yu laughed.
For the past three days, sparring with the old man had caused Cheng Yu to have a lot of thoughts. After all, Cheng Yu had always been cultivating in seclusion. All of his fighting experience came from his previous life. It was not very helpful to his cultivation.
However, now that he was sparring with the old man every day, he was able to fuse what he had learned better. He would try his best to preserve his life when he encountered a Golden Core expert.
Cheng Yu no longer had any Spiritual Origin Fruits on him. If he were to encounter an expert, his only hope would be to rely on his own strength. Therefore, Cheng Yu had no choice but to think of a way to improve himself and to better understand a Golden Core expert.
"Kid, who is your master?" For the past few days, the old man had been studying Cheng Yu's Phantom Fist. However, until now, he still had no clue. He was very curious about Cheng Yu's origin.
"It's better not to say. I'm afraid that if I were to say it, it would scare you to death," Cheng Yu drank his wine and nibbled on the pheasant as he spoke complacently.
"Is that so? Then tell me, what kind of person is able to scare me? "The old man asked curiously.
"Not saying," Cheng Yu originally wanted to use Limitless Palace to fool the old man. However, after thinking about it, he decided not to say it.
This was not the Secular World. Furthermore, this old man's cultivation was very high. Although he looked sloppy, he was actually very shrewd. It was just like how he had always been studying his Phantom Fist. Therefore, Cheng Yu did not use it frequently. Even if he did use it, he would only use it casually. As for the other moves, Cheng Yu would never use them even if he was beaten to death.
If he were to say that he was a disciple of a Limitless Palace elder, what if this old man was acquainted with those seniors of Limitless Palace? Therefore, it was better for him not to say it.
"Why? Afraid of losing face? "The old man asked.
"Don't try to provoke me. It's useless against me. Furthermore, even if I were to say it, you would not believe me. Might as well not say it, "Cheng Yu ignored the old man.
Although the old man wanted to know Cheng Yu's identity, since Cheng Yu did not say it, there was no need for him to continue asking.
The next day, both of them finally arrived at Tianhai City. Tianhai City was still within Kunlun Mountain's boundary. However, this city was obviously much bigger than Ningshui City. It was at least three times bigger than Ningshui City.
This was already the true Cultivation World. The number of cultivators in the city had also increased a lot. Not only Kunlun cultivators, there were also a lot of cultivators wearing their own sect's robes. Their cultivations varied. However, this wasn't the depths of the Cultivation World. Most of them were Foundation Establishment Realm and Qi Training Realm disciples.
Cheng Yu first found the Qiongyu Pavilion in the city. If one were to ask what was the best place to find in the city, it would undoubtedly be Qiongyu Pavilion. Because it was the tallest pavilion in the city, it was too obvious.
