The old man looked at Cheng Yu's back, feeling somewhat baffled. He had to admit that Cheng Yu's roasted meat was very tasty, but he couldn't admit it. One look and he knew 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, his hands emitted a faint white light. After that, he started to touch the goat's body. Not far away, the old man looked at the roasted fish in puzzlement.
This time, Cheng Yu wanted to roast the whole goat properly. After using his Qi to soften the goat's body, he used his Qi as a knife to peel off the fur. After taking out the internal organs, he smeared the seasoning on the inside and outside of the goat. After that, he skewered it on a tree branch and started to roast it.
"Could it be that this kid just fought and is hungry again?" Looking at Cheng Yu flipping the goat on the roasting frame and smearing seasoning on it, the old man thought.
After more than two hours, the aroma of the roasted lamb had spread far and wide. Although the old man had already eaten quite a lot, he was still unable to endure the enticing aroma as he sat opposite Cheng Yu and stared at the lamb on the roasting rack.
"Want to eat it?" Cheng Yu smiled at the old man who was staring at the roasted goat. "Unfortunately, it's mine."
"Do you think that if I want it, you can stop me?" The old man said disapprovingly.
"Old man, no matter what, you are still a senior. Don't you think that it's shameful to keep snatching a junior's things?"
"Nope," The old man said casually. He didn't take Cheng Yu's words seriously.
"Haha! Old man, I know you are very powerful. But if I really wanted to keep it, you wouldn't be able to snatch it. Furthermore, even if you 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 smiled.
"What business deal?" The old man asked curiously.
"You be my bodyguard for three months. I will prepare delicious food for you for three months and also my wine," Cheng Yu took out a wine pot and said.
"Haha! Kid, you sure have a good plan. Turns out that you are playing so many tricks just to get me to protect you. However, you are really daring. You are definitely the first person who dares to ask me to be his bodyguard! Hearing Cheng Yu's words, the old man laughed and said. 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, but we're just taking what we need. What's more, with your cultivation, protecting a Foundation Establishment brat like me is as easy as lifting a finger.
Look at your sloppy appearance. I don't know how long it's been since I've eaten such delicacies. Otherwise, you wouldn't have snatched my roasted meat. But if you follow me, you will be served with good wine and meat every day. Isn't it better than you cultivating bitterly every day? "When he saw the old man looked at him with contempt, Cheng Yu didn't 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 the Golden Core Realm. But after thinking about it, if he was able to make this old man his bodyguard, then he would be very safe in the Cultivation World for the next few months. At least, he wouldn't have to worry about Kunlun sending more experts.
Most importantly, his cultivation had not improved. This made Cheng Yu very upset. If he could get such an expert to be his sparring partner, Cheng Yu believed that he would be able to improve his strength. Perhaps, it might even be possible for him to advance to the Golden Core Realm.
Thinking of the benefits, Cheng Yu was even more determined to get the old man to be his bodyguard.
"Hah! You really know how to talk. Although I am delicious, if you want to use these to move me, 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. To them, they might have a need for basic necessities, but it was not a necessity.
Just like the reason why the old man snatched Cheng Yu's roasted meat. If he did not meet Cheng Yu, the old man would still be able to live his life. But since Cheng Yu had good food, he could just snatch it. Why should he think about how to eat?
Therefore, their way of thinking was very simple and direct.
"Alright. I don't like to force others," Cheng Yu did not say much. 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 will still prevail. I 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, the old man was dumbfounded.
"Sorry. I only talk about benevolence 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. 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, the old man 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 smiled. He did not bother about him anymore 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 much consideration, 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 all the time.
In the next three days, Cheng Yu 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 just because Cheng Yu could make delicious food.
The most important reason was that the old man was very interested in Cheng Yu. In other words, 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 him and 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 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 roasting rack and looked at Cheng Yu in disdain.
However, in his heart, the old man was still very appreciative of 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 and 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 because you want to comprehend it?" Cheng Yu laughed.
These three days of sparring with the old man had caused Cheng Yu to have a lot of thoughts. After all, Cheng Yu had always been in seclusion. All 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 integrate everything he had learned. As much as possible, when he met a Golden Core expert, he would be able to preserve his life.
Cheng Yu no longer had any Spiritual Origin Fruit. When he met an expert, his only hope was to rely on his own strength. Therefore, Cheng Yu had no choice but to think of ways to improve himself and to better understand Golden Core experts.
"Kid, who is your master?" These 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 background.
"It's better not to say. I'm afraid if I were to say it, it would scare you to death," Cheng Yu drank his wine and nibbled on the pheasant complacently.
"Really? Then tell me, what kind of person could scare me? "The old man asked curiously.
"Not saying," Cheng Yu originally wanted to use Limitless Palace to fool him. 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. Just like how he had always been studying his Phantom Fist. Therefore, Cheng Yu did not use it often. Even if he used 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 knew those seniors from Limitless Palace? Therefore, it was better 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 wished 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 territory. However, this city was 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.
