"Oh? Didn't you understand? "
Seeing Zhao Tiezhu's hesitation, Zhang Yuxian's face turned cold.
"I …" Zhao Tiezhu was speechless. He felt that Zhang Yuxian was teasing him.
Could Lord Zhang have heard his sarcasm and was purposely messing with him?
But no matter how unhappy he was, he did not dare contradict Zhang Yuxian.
At this time, the members of the warrior preparation camp looked at Zhao Tiezhu with sympathy. They knew what Zhao Tiezhu had said to Yi Yun when he was being cocky.
Who knew that retribution would come so quickly!
Seeing Zhao Tiezhu's predicament, the two men who had been clamoring about eating the stone roller and drinking the East River's water had cramps in their stomachs.
They wished they could slap themselves. Why did they have to be so shameless and follow Zhao Tiezhu's crazy ways? Retribution might fall on their heads in a while!
The big pagoda tree could still be eaten, but how could the stone roller be eaten?
"Zhao Tiezhu, what are you waiting for? Eat the tree, do you hear me!?"
When Lian Chengyu saw Zhao Tiezhu's reluctant look, he scolded him.
Lian Chengyu did not care what the reason was. He was certain that it was Zhang Yuxian's orders. He had to follow the orders of the High Ambassador. Besides, it was not his bad luck.
"I … I …" Zhao Tiezhu's face turned bitter. He finally made up his mind and said painfully, "I'll eat …"
He squatted down and bit the bullet to break off a piece of wood.
Seeing that this piece of wood could be used to build a house, Zhao Tiezhu wanted to cry. Do you think I'm a termite!?
Noticing Lian Chengyu's unfriendly expression, Zhao Tiezhu closed his eyes and chewed on the piece of wood as if he was going to the execution ground.
This taste was enough to make one wish they were dead.
Zhao Tiezhu felt like his throat was about to be cut open. With great difficulty, he swallowed a piece. He looked at Zhang Yuxian eagerly, as if to say that it was enough.
But Zhang Yuxian only said coldly, "Continue!"
Zhao Tiezhu nearly fainted!
He was good at lifting stone rollers, chopping trees and piling, but to eat wood was torture!
"Lord Zhang, I wonder what kind of mystic technique this is?" Lian Chengyu originally thought that Zhang Yuxian was messing with Zhao Tiezhu, to let him know that he had to do what he said.
But now that he thought about it, it didn't seem like it. He made Zhao Tiezhu eat the tree, maybe it really was some kind of secret technique.
If that was the case, he might have to eat wood in a while, so he had to make things clear first.
Zhang Yuxian's attitude towards Lian Chengyu was much better. He said, "This secret technique is called the Elephant Swallowing Art. It's a technique that trains the digestive system! Those who have mastered the Elephant Swallowing Art can swallow like a whale with every meal. It is even rumored that those who have mastered it can even eat an elephant. This is where the name of this secret art comes from. "
When the people of the warrior preparation camp heard this, their expressions became interesting. After all, the Elephant Swallowing Art was just a way to make a living.
Wasn't this the skill of a foodie? Is this even considered a secret technique?
Seeing the expressions on the warrior preparation camp members, Zhang Yuxian knew what they were thinking.
He disdainfully said, "You ants have shallow views, yet you dare to judge and speculate on the Jin Long Wei's tactics! What a joke! "
"It's very important for a martial artist to train their stomach! You have a good heart and lungs. At the very least, you have better endurance and can fight well. But fighting well is not as good as cultivation. Having a good stomach is very beneficial to cultivation! "
"Mortal Blood warriors, be it moving stone rollers, fighting, or climbing trees, where do you get your strength from? It's all from food! "
"Some cultivators who have tempered their stomachs have frighteningly good appetites. They can eat an entire cow in three days. The more they eat, the more nutrients they absorb. Their bones and flesh will grow stronger, and their strength will increase."
Zhang Yuxian's voice was loud and clear. Yi Yun's heart stirred when he heard it.
Indeed, the energy a warrior could produce was terrifying. This energy could not be obtained out of thin air. It had to have a source. For Mortal Blood warriors, their source of energy came from food.
Food was energy, so eating more of it would naturally be beneficial.
Especially those who came from famous families, but had ordinary talent. They did not get much desolate bone essence during their cultivation, so they had no choice but to eat desolate beast meat to increase their strength.
Some people would be full after eating seven to eight pounds of desolate beast meat a day. They might as well go into the secular world to manage their family's business.
Those ruthless people would only be 80% full after eating 100 pounds of desolate beast meat a day.
The meat had to be digested into energy and the essence extracted. Only by doing their best to cultivate could they reach a higher realm.
Hence, having a good stomach and eating more naturally gave them an advantage!
Hence, the basic mystic technique that Zhang Yuxian taught was the Elephant Swallowing Technique.
This was a basic mystic technique for practicing martial arts!
Zhang Yuxian carried on, "Those warriors from large family clans practice the Elephant Swallowing Technique to eat desolate beast meat. You in the Cloud Wilderness lack resources, so you can't even eat your fill. But practicing the Elephant Swallowing Technique is still useful!"
"With a strong stomach, no matter what you eat, you will be able to absorb the nutrients!"
"When mortals eat grains, a lot of the essence will be wasted after the stomach absorbs it. Finally, it will be excreted with feces."
"Dogs will eat human feces. Flies and maggots can reproduce in feces. Dung beetles will gather feces balls to raise their offspring! There is a large amount of nutrients that cannot be completely absorbed! "
"If eating grains can't be completely absorbed, there's no need to talk about treasures!"
"Without a good stomach, you won't be able to digest treasures!"
"After practicing the Elephant Swallowing Technique, no matter what you eat in the future, you will be able to digest it more thoroughly! If you encounter a famine, you can eat tree barks, roots and Guanyin clay. They will be digested and turned into nutrients to sustain your life! "
"From today onwards, you will eat tree roots, tree trunks and Guanyin clay for every meal. After you are full, follow the method I taught you to practice the Elephant Swallowing Technique. Move your stomach, and digest the most difficult to digest food into nutrients!"
Hearing Zhang Yuxian's words, the members of the warrior preparation camp were speechless. They all had to eat.
For the next three days, they could only eat wood and Guanyin clay for meals!
Originally, they thought that since Zhang Yuxian had hunted quite a number of fierce beasts, they could bask in the limelight and eat to their hearts' content.
However, reality was cruel. Now, not only could they not eat fierce beast meat, they could not even drink porridge.
These members of the warrior preparation camp all had bitter faces. No one wanted to really eat trees.
At least, they had to go through an acceptance process.
Just as they were looking at each other, Yi Yun had already walked out of the group. He squatted down beside the big locust tree, broke off a branch and ate it along with the leaves.
Practicing martial arts was not for enjoyment. One had to face hardships, setbacks and life-threatening dangers.
Before he transmigrated, he knew that when children practiced acrobatics, dance and jujitsu, the teacher would kneel on the child's back in order to press on the child's back. Many adults could not bear the pain.
