Consume blood-tooth rice porridge.

The spirit rice began to melt as soon as it entered the mouth, sweet and smooth, with a slight warmth rising in the stomach afterwards.

He then activated the Profound Yin Technique on the spot, absorbing the spiritual qi concealed in this warmth and unclogging the blockage in the belt vessel a bit.

'This bowl of blood-tooth rice is as nourishing as a bottle of Qi Absorption Pill, it must be quite expensive.'

Lou Yi finished the blood-tooth rice porridge in two gulps, and his proficiency at the fourth level of Qi cultivation increased by two points.

After finishing the porridge, since the meat was free, he immediately took seven or eight plates and devoured them cleanly within moments.

'Not bad, all spirit monster meat, tough, doesn't get caught in the teeth, and can replenish qi-blood.'

'Since it's free, not eating is a waste, can't betray Senior Sister Lü's kindness.'

After Lou Yi finished, he fetched another ten plates of spirit monster meat and began a plate-clearing action.

After ten plates, another ten plates.

Lü Tianran and Liu Qi, who were sitting opposite him, were dumbfounded.

And Lou Yi's exaggerated behavior also drew the attention of other disciples in the dining hall.

"Which junior brother is this, he can eat so much, surely a reincarnation of a glutton?"

"Only at the fourth level of Qi cultivation, must be new here, hasn't seen much of the world."

"The qi-blood contained in spirit monster meat is far greater than ordinary pork, I usually eat two plates at most. Isn't he afraid of qi-blood running wild, inducing heart fire?"

"Is this... Lou Yi?" In the corner, a fair-skinned man with sinister looks squinted.

The disciple of Elder Wang, Yan Zechen.

"What's up, Brother Yan, you know him?" The disciple sitting opposite Yan Zechen couldn't help but ask upon seeing Yan Zechen's unusual expression.

The disciple looked in his thirties, with triangular eyes bearing a predatory glare, unmistakably a fierce character.

"My junior brother Wang Wenbai's death is likely related to him." Yan Zechen transmitted quietly.

"What? Then Elder Wang..."

"Brother Chu, this guy cunningly seeks Master He, preventing my master from easily intervening."

"Hey, but if anything shady occurs among disciples, it's usually no big deal, right?"

Junior Brother Wang invited me for several feasts of flower wine when he just joined the sect. He was murdered, at the very least, I need to teach this guy a lesson to honor Junior Brother Wang's spirit.

Upon finishing the transmission, the triangular-eyed man surnamed Chu stood upright, holding an empty wooden bowl, and strode toward the bronze cauldron, from where he drew steaming porridge.

On the return, he veered along a path destined to pass by Lou Yi's wooden table.

When he was five feet behind Lou Yi.

His step seemed unsteady, suddenly tossing the wooden bowl, the bowl faced down, and a mass of scorching rice porridge splashed toward the back of Lou Yi's head!

"Oh no!"

Sitting opposite Lou Yi, Senior Sister Lü Tianran and Senior Brother Liu Qi turned pale, totally unexpected by this sudden move!

The distance was too close, even if they wanted to cast a spell to block it, it was too late!

Just as the scorching spirit rice porridge was about to spill onto Lou Yi's head.

A wisp of transparent gray qi shield silently and seemingly spontaneously inserted itself between the two.

Moreover, its shape wasn't the usual flat surface; it was a smooth and concave surface facing the direction.

When the spirit rice porridge splashed onto the surface, some of it returned along the original path, spraying directly onto the grinning, smug-looking Chu surnamed man's face!

"Ah!"

The Chu surnamed cultivator held his face, screaming mournfully.

'Bang!'

Simultaneously, the wooden bowl also crashed to the ground.

The commotion bewildered all disciples in the dining hall.

They weren't fools.

Seeing the curved Yin Light Shield forming behind Lou Yi's head and the Chu surnamed cultivator screaming in pain from the scalding, they all basically figured out what happened.

Several that looked up at that moment captured the scene in their eyes.

After telling others, it naturally further substantiated the prevailing assumptions.

But this made the crowd even more shocked.

"Instant spell casting, and a Yin Light Shield? Ordinary people find it hard to achieve this even with six to seventy years of hard practice, how did this junior brother manage this at such a young age?"

"He even altered the shape of the Yin Light Shield, this is several times harder than merely instant-casting spells!"

"I'm particularly curious how he discovered Chu Yao's sneak attack?"

"Chu Yao just loves humiliating newcomers, he finally hit a tough nut this time, I recall this isn't the first time he's done this."

The crowd's discussion revolved around Lou Yi, who only now seemed to notice and turned his head.

Seeing the Chu surnamed cultivator's face scalded red, he appeared slightly sympathetic.

"Senior brother, next time hold it steady, this porridge is quite hot..."

"You!!" The cultivator named Chu Yao felt a surge of furious anger, ready to explode.

His spiritual power agitated, he was about to cause trouble for Lou Yi in the dining hall.

'Slap!'

Yan Zechen hurried over, slapping Chu Yao's shoulder to stop him.

"Brother Chu, no fighting here, you'll end up in confinement!"

"This junior brother truly has good tactics." Chu Yao calmed down, gave Lou Yi a cold look, and promptly turned to leave.

"Senior brother, your bowl." Lou Yi kindly called from behind.

Chu Yao's face turned a shade of grayish-white, forced to bend down to retrieve the bowl, which triggered laughter amidst the dining hall.

"Immortal Lü, is this your junior brother? Haven't seen him before." After Chu Yao and Yan Zechen left, a true disciple came over to get acquainted.

"Indeed, my master just accepted Lou Yi as a junior brother, how is he, quite impressive, right?" Lü Tianran said proudly, with Liu Qi nodding non-stop beside her.

The true disciple looked at Lou Yi in amazement: "The Yin Light Shield matured, within the true disciples, few can achieve it; Junior Brother Lou has boundless potential!"

"Chu Yao likes bullying newcomers; today finally taught a lesson by Junior Brother Lou," another true disciple laughed.

On the way back.

"Junior brother, how did you detect his sneak attack?" Lü Tianran asked curiously.

Senior Brother Liu Qi also looked over curiously.

Compared to managing to instant-cast the Yin Light Shield, they were even more curious about how Lou Yi discovered Chu Yao's attacks from behind.

"I'm naturally quite sensitive to threats."

As the most top-grade martial artist, possessing extremely sharp senses, Lou Yi naturally wouldn't fall to such clumsy sneak attacks.

Of course, it's hard to explain clearly in a few words to senior brother and sister, so Lou Yi could only vaguely attribute it to his own talent.

The dining hall's slight disturbance soon passed, insignificant in the vast Corpse-Driving Sect.

Time swiftly moved on, finally approaching mid-next month, four days before the auction.

Lou Yi sent a message to Rong Xuejian, asking him to come over for a switch.

Simultaneously transforming into his appearance, Lou Yi swaggered out of the Corpse-Driving Sect's territory, speeding toward He City.
