579 Sending Big Brother on His Way_3
The shopkeeper served wine and meat.
After having been hungry for the entire journey, everyone ate heartily, but they exercised more restraint with the wine.
At this critical juncture, they clearly didn’t want to cause any trouble.
Mo Hua received a small bowl of Spiritual Meat, nibbling on it while deep in thought.
“Two hours…”
“Who’s coming?”
...
“If it’s a Golden Core, I guess I won’t be able to get away; if it’s Foundation Establishment, it’ll also be quite troublesome once their numbers increase…”
“It seems I need to start planning ahead…”
Mo Hua took a bite of the meat, then slammed the bowl down and frowned, “This tastes terrible…”
The other Cultivators all turned to look, their gazes unfriendly.
“Kid, what are you making a fuss about?”
Mo Hua said, “The meat tastes terrible, it’s poorly made, not even as good as what I can make…”
The stout shopkeeper was furious, “Nonsense, this is a skill passed down from my ancestors!”
Mo Hua replied disdainfully, “Then your ancestors weren’t very impressive…”
“You…”
The stout shopkeeper’s face reddened with anger, but Boss Jiang held him back, signaling him to keep calm, “What’s the point of fussing with a child…”
At times like this, it’s better to avoid trouble than to create it.
Boss Jiang looked at Mo Hua, “If it doesn’t suit your taste, go and cook for yourself.”
After all, it was going to be their last meal, so letting the kid do as he wished and enjoy something tasty didn’t seem like a big deal.
Boss Jiang silently thought to himself.
Mo Hua eagerly said, “Okay!” and then he got up and headed to the kitchen.
Boss Jiang silently watched Mo Hua go.
The kitchen was enclosed within the eatery, and with Mo Hua still wearing iron shackles, it was impossible for him to escape, especially with more than ten people watching.
However, to prevent any mishaps, Boss Jiang continued to eat and drink, all while extending a sliver of his Divine Sense to keep an eye on any movements in the kitchen.
Mo Hua was truly stewing the meat.
The ingredients in this eatery were all Spiritual Meat; although there were fewer varieties, the quality of the meat was good.
It seemed that this group was engaged in unscrupulous deeds but living an indulgent life.
Spiritual Meat was expensive, and Mo Hua didn’t eat it often, nor did he want to indulge too freely, but now there was no need for politeness…
Mo Hua picked some of the best pieces of meat, placed them in the pot to cook, and then, following the recipes his mother taught him, he controlled the heat, added spices, and brought out the flavor of the meat, blending it with the aroma of the spices…
Boss Jiang’s scrutiny with his Divine Sense did not go unnoticed by Mo Hua.
But with his level of Divine Sense, it would be strange if he could keep tabs on Mo Hua.
After adjusting the seasoning, Mo Hua turned down the heat to let the meat simmer slowly.
He then took out several vials of Spiritual Ink from his Storage Ring.
His Storage Bag had been “confiscated” by Boss Jiang, who claimed to be holding onto it for him temporarily.
Mo Hua didn’t care.
The key items were all stored in the Storage Ring given to him by his master, which others couldn’t see, making it very secure.
His first task now was to remove the iron bracelet from his wrist.
Mo Hua took out the Spiritual Ink, and with a touch of his finger, he used Divine Consciousness Control Ink to solidify Formation Patterns on the bracelet, releasing the iron bracelet that was locked on his wrist.
This bracelet had the effects of suppressing spiritual power and tracking.
The Taoist Court also had similar Spiritual Artifacts for imprisoning Sin Cultivators.
The trouble with this bracelet was that it had Formation Patterns inscribed on it.
But to Mo Hua, as long as it involved Formation Patterns, it wasn’t a problem.
That’s why he willingly put on the bracelet in the first place.
“`
“Thinking that such a Formation could trap me is rather akin to ‘bringing an axe to the hall of Lu Ban’…”
Mo Hua hummed softly in his heart.
Once the Formation on the iron bracelet was unlocked, it ceased to have any effect.
What followed was the real business…
