Chapter 8: Dining and Cultivating Immortality
A scene emerged in Song Hao's mind
Looking at the time, it is also time for breakfast
The two each patted their waists, but it was not to retrieve the elixir that replenishes magical power
However, despite the complaints, he currently does not have the qualification to be picky. Being able to cultivate is already quite good, and as for whether the cultivation method is peculiar, who has the time to worry about that now
The second person stepped forward, with a background and education that were equally impressive and distinguished
Although my monthly living expenses are not substantial, I still have no issues with food
There is one more thing that makes Song Hao feel quite resentful: the name of the cultivation technique he is studying is simply called "Eating to Cultivate Immortality," which is very straightforward and easy to understand
Song Hao's face revealed a bitter smile
By practicing the techniques outlined in the manual, the digestive system can be greatly enhanced, allowing one to consume up to 1 ton of food in a single day without the worry of discomfort.
Thus, the young farmer, in pursuit of immortality, must endure numerous hardships, among which the most troublesome is the search for food, wild vegetables, and wild fruits. At times, even edible grass roots and tree bark are not overlooked, demonstrating a remarkable level of dedication to the quest for immortality
What is the reason
Speaking of which, the conditions for my own cultivation are far better than those of the one in the dream
However
Relatively speaking, I no longer have such worries myself
Consider this: one day in the future, when you have achieved mastery in your cultivation, you will gather with a group of like-minded practitioners to exchange insights on your cultivation experiences
Then I announced that the cultivation method I learned is called "Dining and Cultivating Immortality"... That being said, will I be attacked by other cultivators? They will surely misunderstand that I came here to deliberately cause trouble and disrupt their practices
I truly do not know who authored this secret manual; if I had not already experienced its marvelous nature, Song Hao would undoubtedly think it is a deception
In the dream, Song Hao could not determine whether the environment was Earth; in any case, at first glance, it was quite similar to ancient times, with relatively low productivity.
However, someone boldly announced, "I am so-and-so, from the Qianyun Sect, and what I have learned is the 'Qianhuan Luoxue Technique.' I kindly ask all fellow practitioners for your guidance."
Although I have just begun my cultivation, my appetite is certainly not as outrageous as this, but it is also far beyond what my usual living expenses can cover
Wait, is there really no problem at all
Just thinking about it makes my legs feel weak; even five hundred strong men can only eat this much in a day
There is no miraculous elixir, nor is there fasting; the true cultivators of immortality are, in fact, a group of big eaters
... ...
If you wish to cultivate immortality, eat more meals
But why does it always feel like the author is being lazy
Thus, one person was voraciously devouring steamed buns, while the other was engrossed in tackling the fried rice.
Thus, Song Hao got up, completed his morning routine, and contemplated what he should eat for breakfast today
Do not worry about the issue of not being able to eat
Finally, it was my turn. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, I stood tall and proudly announced that I, a solitary cultivator, had unexpectedly embarked on the path of immortality. Well, there was nothing wrong with the preceding atmosphere, but when it came to introducing what I had learned throughout my life, I could only shyly express that the name of the technique I practiced was rather unique, so I kindly asked everyone to stand firm while listening.
Instead, a moment of inspiration struck, and beside the skilled individual on the left, a steamer appeared. Upon opening it, there were exactly one thousand steaming buns.
The more one eats, the faster one cultivates, with no shortcuts whatsoever
I believe that upon hearing this, everyone will display an expression of attentive listening.
The more you eat, the better the tempering effect you can achieve
Because of consuming more food, one is able to derive greater strength from it, thereby possessing the ability to turn the tides.
There are no insights from cultivation, only a principle: eat as much as possible. The more one eats, the more quickly one can achieve the effects of body tempering
Recalling the content of yesterday's dream, Song Hao revealed a faint bitter smile on his face. It cannot be said that there were no gains at all, but the results obtained were vastly different from his original expectations.
How to ask parents for more money
Overall, he is still a dutiful and good son, and he understands that his parents work hard to earn money. Moreover, although the family's conditions are not poor, they are not a wealthy household either. His parents are merely ordinary salaried workers, and even if they are willing to provide, how much can they really give him for living expenses in a month
In the past, one could casually have some soy milk and fried dough sticks to get by, but now, as meals are closely related to the speed of cultivating immortality, one cannot afford to be too careless
Soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, steamed buns, rice noodles, one by one eliminated, however, there are really not many selling rice in the morning, congee does not count, it does not satisfy hunger at all, let alone being used for cultivating immortality or refining the body
Today, material products are extremely abundant, and food is plentiful. Compared to outside, the meals at school are not only of high quality but also reasonably priced
Two senior cultivators engaged in a duel, showcasing various mysterious and formidable talismans and magical treasures. The two were evenly matched, battling for three days and three nights until their magical power was completely exhausted
It is essential to consume food that is nutritious yet high in calories
The opening of this secret manual reveals the key points of cultivating immortality
In such occasions, it is customary to begin with a self-introduction.
At this thought, Song Hao's gaze swept across the dormitory; his three roommates had not yet returned, and he had no idea where they had gone last night
The scene is too beautiful; I dare not look at it
One cannot possibly call home and say, "Dad, Mom, I recently became an immortal and can consume food meant for one hundred people. My living expenses are insufficient, could you send me some more money?" The likely outcome would be that my parents would send me to a mental hospital
It indeed confirmed my suspicion
The next day, when Song Hao woke up, his expression was still somewhat dazed
Shaking his head, Song Hao did not dwell on it too much and continued to ponder what he should have for breakfast
To pursue immortality, one needs to consume a substantial amount of food daily, which is more than ten times compared to before. The book "Cultivating Immortality through Eating" explains this clearly, stating that after practicing this divine ability, the digestive system will be greatly enhanced, eliminating the worry of overeating, allowing one to consume up to one ton of food in a day
Ceasefire, we will resume once we are well-fed and have regained our strength
Song Hao felt that his worldview had completely collapsed, which was different from the imagined ethereal and transcendent demeanor, and it was entirely unlike his conception of the xianxia genre.
One ton is equal to two thousand jin
To embark on the path of cultivation, the food consumption required is undoubtedly exorbitant, and relying on parental assistance is merely a drop in the bucket
The reason I became involved in the practice of immortality is intricately connected to dreams
First cultivate before discussing further
Song Hao is not foolish, so he would certainly not say such a thing. Moreover, the option of asking for money from home was ruled out from the very beginning.
There is no need to take risks, nor is it necessary to strive through meditation; the key to establishing a solid foundation lies in finding more food
The skilled individual on the right did not show any weakness; in front of him, however, appeared a large bowl filled with enough fried rice to satisfy five hundred people
It may have been so in the past, but it is not necessarily the case now
