#207 - Wake up and eat seafood! Cool!
"Are you even human?"
Da Hei harbored a deep resentment towards Xu Chengxian for skimping on its blood energy.

"I am not."
Xu Chengxian replied in a languid tone.
"Make up for it? Certainly," Xu Chengxian smiled. "But first, tell me, how much did I short you?"
"You think you can bully this venerable one because I can't count?" Da Hei glared. "Dream on!"
As the saying goes, a kitten can't count, but it knows how to look at the fish in the basket.
It wasn't very good at counting, but like a kitten, it knew how to look at the fish!
Xu Chengxian yawned.
It was as if he was saying that if Da Hei didn't give him an answer, he wouldn't replenish the blood energy.
"This ball of blood energy is at most four hundred seventy or eighty, definitely not enough for five hundred." To avoid being taken advantage of, Da Hei carefully examined the ball of blood energy and sensed it for a while, drawing its conclusion.
"Hurry up and make up for what you owe this venerable one!"
"Here you go." Xu Chengxian didn't deliberately delay. He suppressed the doubt in his heart and gave it 20 points of blood energy.
"Hmph, it's good that you know what's good for you," Da Hei said smugly. "Boy, don't try that trick again next time. You can't fool this venerable one!"
"Understood," Xu Chengxian echoed.
Although he had questions in his mind, he didn't plan to ask the Taotie at this time.
Mainly because he hadn't figured out how to phrase the question.
However, unexpectedly, Da Hei's subsequent rambling directly solved the mystery for him.
"Hmph, don't be unconvinced."
"This venerable one has eaten quite a few ancient demons!"
The black goat swished its tail behind it, boasting.
"Naturally, I'm very sensitive to blood energy. I can detect even the slightest shortage."
"If you give me too much, this venerable one might not say anything. But if you give me too little, this venerable one will definitely not be happy!"
Ancient demon.
Only ancient great demons are called ancient demons.
Ancient great demons are just ancient great demons.
Xu Chengxian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Do ancient demons cultivate their magic power with blood energy?"
"No," Da Hei shook its head.
"No?" Xu Chengxian was stunned.
"They don't need to cultivate at all," Da Hei said. "Ancient demons rely on devouring chaotic energy to continuously increase their blood energy and become incomparably powerful."
Of course, the prerequisite was that their physical bodies could withstand the scouring of chaotic energy.
After it finished speaking, it saw that Xu Chengxian seemed to be lost in thought, and couldn't help but think, 'I don't need to tell this to Flower Snake, right?'
He was walking the path of an ancient demon, so he should be very clear about the key.
Thinking of this, it ignored Xu Chengxian, hugged the ball of blood energy, and flew to the side to slowly gnaw on it.
In the early days of ancient times, this wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth.
But now, times were different.
It had to savor it slowly.
"Ancient demons, devouring chaotic energy to increase blood energy," Xu Chengxian narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
He could devour sea beasts containing the power of chaos and use them as blood food. This was somewhat similar to the cultivation path of ancient demons.
But chaotic energy was probably like the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and devouring it would definitely not be very efficient.
"No, it should be even less efficient."
Because at this time, the spiritual energy filling the heaven and earth.
Chaotic energy only existed in the chaotic sea.
"Should I drink a few mouthfuls of seawater to try?"
As soon as this thought emerged, he couldn't help but want to try it.
He glanced at Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi, who were busy, and seeing that they weren't paying attention, he moved and went to the shore.
He bent down and took a shallow sip.
"Eh!"
It's really hard to drink!
He endured and swallowed it, urging his innate divine ability—devouring and refining.
[Congratulations to the host for devouring a trace of chaotic energy.]
[Blood Energy + 0.1.]
"...Damn it," Xu Chengxian grimaced.
The consequences of being adventurous were not very pleasant.
He turned around and left.
Lying down to sleep.
No more messing around.
Sure enough, sleeping was the most reliable.
Two breaths later.
[Blood Energy + 1+1 + 1+1 …]
[Blood Energy + 1+1 + 1+1 + 1 …]
…
Ten days later.
"You're awake?"
As soon as Xu Chengxian's tail moved slightly, a black goat rushed over.
It slammed heavily into his chin.
Then it was swept away by his tail.
"Were you either trapped to death or worked to death in your previous life?"
Da Hei stubbornly flew back, put its hands on its hips, and shouted, "Do you know how long you've been sleeping? Ten days! You've been sleeping for ten days!"
"Is there a problem?"
Xu Chengxian stood up straight and stretched, "It's not uncommon for cultivators to go into seclusion for dozens or hundreds of years."
"You also know it's seclusion?" Da Hei relentlessly circled around him, "Seclusion is cultivation, you know?"
It's different from sleeping!
At first, when it saw Xu Chengxian coiled up and his breathing becoming long, it thought this guy was cultivating.
As a result, he was really sleeping!
There wasn't even the slightest sign of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
Ten days!
A full ten days!
He hadn't cultivated at all!
Da Hei was so excited, of course not to care about Xu Chengxian's cultivation.
What it cared about was blood energy.
To be more precise, it was the supply of blood energy.
"You're so unenterprising!" The black goat's round eyes glared. "When will you refine enough essence blood?"
If Xu Chengxian didn't refine enough essence blood one day, its rations wouldn't be fully guaranteed one day!
A few hundred or a few thousand points of blood energy were just a trickle, enough to keep it from starving to death.
"Don't worry, you won't be short of blood energy," Xu Chengxian knocked it away with his tail again.
He swam towards Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi.
"Hmph! What big words!" Da Hei shouted, "If the chaotic energy hadn't disappeared from this world long ago, this venerable one would have really thought you were increasing your blood energy while sleeping!"
Unfortunately, the chaotic energy had long since dissipated.
If not, how could it have been reduced to being the artifact spirit of a little snake?
"Sister! Third brother!"
Xu Chengxian ignored it and shouted at Lingxiao and the two, "Your brother is awake!"
"You're awake, so you're awake," the black goat nagged in his ear. "What are you shouting for?"
"Hmph, what do you know?" Xu Chengxian ignored it.
At this time, Lingxiao said, "Understood."
Then he saw Ling Yunzi get up, leap into the air, and arrive at the shore.
He waved his hand.
He pulled up a large net from the sea.
The net was filled with fish, shrimp, and sea beasts.
He dragged the net and placed it on the shore instead of bringing it back.
"Go and eat," Lingxiao turned to Xu Chengxian and said, "So as not to make this place smell fishy."
"Aren't you going to cook it?" Xu Chengxian wasn't very satisfied. "Also, I swallow all of these whole, it's very clean."
"You swallow the ones with shells too?" Lingxiao raised an eyebrow.
"...Alright, calcium supplement!" Xu Chengxian retorted.
"Go and eat it yourself!"
"Okay!"
Da Hei watched in astonishment.
Did Flower Snake's older brother have any dignity or not?
…
A moment later.
Xu Chengxian was grilling shellfish.
He got some fire from where Ling Yunzi and the others were refining artifacts.
He also had Da Hei chop some firewood and bring it back.
After swallowing the fish and shrimp whole and feeling less hungry, he could slowly improve the taste.
"Confirmed, you almost starved to death in your previous life, just like this venerable one," Da Hei said.
"That's not true," Xu Chengxian shook his head, but didn't say much.
His mouth was busy.
Eating seafood after waking up.
Awesome!
Seafood was very delicious.
And naturally flavorful.
Just grilling it on the fire and eating it while it's hot, the taste was simply amazing.
The sea breeze was a bit strong, the mist hissed and roared like ghosts crying, and the sea in front of him was dark and eerie.
He nodded: "Well, it's okay, it has a unique flavor!"
He ate and regretted: "If there was garlic at this time, it would be even better."
Miscalculation.
He didn't have any stored in his stomach.
The red blood array flag, which had been shrunk, was held in the palm of his transformed hand, picking meat out of the shell like a toothpick.
The top of the flag was sharp and very useful.
"Give this venerable one one too! I want this scallop!"
Da Hei didn't have any objections to this, who told Xu Chengxian to share it with it.
"Haha! Everyone gets one." Xu Chengxian happily fed Da Hei what it wanted, and said, "Let me tell you, this scallop would be even better with garlic and vermicelli."
Then he turned around and wanted to call Lingxiao and the two to come and taste it too.
After all, this was freshly caught.
And he didn't know if it was because they were in the secret realm, but the taste was better than what he had eaten before.
But as soon as he turned his head, he felt an unusual surge of magic power coming.
"Hmm?"
