"Your terms aren't impossible, but the number of times you can create it is too few. If you agree to produce this level of holy meal five times, I'll agree to your conditions," Elder Chen said.

Li Cunxu pondered on how to respond.

He couldn't respond too readily, or Elder Chen would realize he still had room to negotiate. Plus, he couldn't agree too quickly; he had to haggle, make him feel that creating such a level of holy meal wasn't easy at all.

"Three times, counting this time, I should tell you beforehand, my current capabilities are limited, I can only produce Black Iron grade holy meals, and creating such a meal is especially taxing for me, I can only make one per month."

After thinking it over, Li Cunxu added, "The holy meal must be consumed on site, it can't be taken away, and you can't bring too many people to watch."

"Alright, may I ask, how do you manage to standardize the creation of this level of holy meal? It seems other Holy Lotus Eyes can't do this," Elder Chen inquired.

Li Cunxu rolled his eyes. If you truly think it's presumptuous, you shouldn't ask.

Presumptuous fellow.

Indeed, he came to test the waters.

Li Cunxu still gave a response.

"Really? Other Holy Lotus Eyes can't do it? I thought this was standard for Holy Lotus Eyes!"

Elder Chen felt as if he'd been outdone. He was usually the one outdoing others, but today he was outdone by a junior.

He didn't believe what Li Cunxu said.

If Li Cunxu truly thought it was standard for Holy Lotus Eyes, he wouldn't have asked for ten deer's essence blood.

After hanging up, Chen Lu took out the Crystal Radiant Deer's antlers.

Li Cunxu squinted as the sunlight reflected off the antlers.

"Came prepared, huh! Materials are ready," he said with a playful smile.

Chen Lu stuck out her tongue slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

As she placed the Crystal Radiant Deer's antlers into a pristine ceramic bowl, Li Cunxu covered his left eye, separating his fingers over his right eye, revealing a Holy Lotus pupil.

The covering motion was to shield his unchanged left eye.

Chen Lu thought Li Cunxu was shy about his half-blind eye, gently encouraging, "Nothing wrong with your half-eye, no need to hide it, show the confidence of a Newcomer Cup champion."

"I'm not shy; I'm just keeping a promise that I wouldn't show the half-eye in front of others," he explained.

Hearing this, Chen Lu felt even more sympathetic toward Li Cunxu.

"How could someone do that to you? That's so mean," she muttered.

Li Cunxu couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Shihuo, who wasn't mean at all.

Using only antlers to make the holy meal wouldn't suffice; they were the main ingredient and needed to be supplemented.

Li Cunxu pulled out a batch of liquor from the wooden cabin.

"You drink alcohol?"

Chen Lu was a little surprised.

Drinking was prohibited before the age of sixteen; the league was quite strict about that.

The reason being alcohol impairs one's actions, especially in an extraordinary world, where the consequences are greater.

For instance, guarding the defense boundary, if you get drunk and fail to alert others, leading to a monster invasion without warning, the resultant disaster would be immeasurable.

Therefore, the league managed it from a young age, reducing the emergence of drunks at the root.

But the effectiveness wasn't great; there were still plenty of drunks, especially among those who lost loved ones to the Evil God Sect.

"I don't drink, just experimenting."

Li Cunxu kept alcohol at home to try and mutate the little white spider into a Wine Slime, as legends spoke of a Wine Slime that could turn water into wine by just soaking in it.

"This wine doesn't seem of high quality. Can it be used as a holy meal supplement?"

"No problem; better supplements are beyond my control."

To elevate the quality to legendary, one would have to spend more holy blood.

Li Cunxu never engaged in losing trades.

Blood Banquet Holy Meal!

Five hundred drops of Tier One Holy Blood evaporated.

A delightful aroma of wine filled the air, making Chen Lu's cheeks flush slightly.

[Blood Banquet Holy Meal: Crystal Glow Deer Antler Wine]

[Quality]: Black Iron · Legend

[Effect One]: After consumption, one can comprehend a deer-related sacred skill.

[Effect Two]: May induce pet life evolution; may impart sacred attributes to the pet.

[Limitation]: Effective only at Black Iron grade.

[Evaluation]: If thrown outside, deer would go crazy over it.

Chen Lu summoned the Little Medicine Deer, and as soon as it arrived, it was utterly captivated by the alcohol aroma.

Coming to its senses, the Little Medicine Deer saw the Crystal Glow Deer Antler Wine on the table and eagerly rushed forward. Just as it was about to drink, it suddenly stopped, the mania and affection in its eyes diluting somewhat, looking up at Chen Lu, and shaking its head, as if asking, "Can I drink this?"

Chen Lu was delighted that the Little Medicine Deer could regain its senses and ask for permission despite the temptation.

"Drink up! This is specially prepared for you," she encouraged.

The Little Medicine Deer guzzled the wine like Pigsy devouring the Ginseng Fruit, and after licking its lips, it seemed it couldn't get enough.

"There's no burst of light, meaning luck wasn't on its side; it didn't trigger evolution or gain sacred attributes," Li Cunxu thought to himself.

The Little Medicine Deer, having never drunk alcohol before, had low tolerance, frolicked joyfully in the grass, mischievously kicking the relaxing Grass Slimes occasionally.

"You should let it drink some medicinal liquor to nurture its resistance," Li Cunxu recommended.

Some pets use alcohol as a weapon, and there are quite a few.

Many alcohol enthusiasts enjoy nurturing a pet that uses alcohol as a weapon, thus many pets practice drunken fighting styles.

Suddenly, the inebriated Little Medicine Deer burst into a rainbow of light, transforming into a beam that zipped from the front of the ranch to the back in an instant.

"Seems its luck isn't bad; it's comprehended the exclusive sacred skill of the Crystal Radiant Deer, the Crystal Light Escape," Li Cunxu smiled.

Chen Lu didn't know about the Crystal Light Escape of the Crystal Radiant Deer, so she quickly searched online.

Being a core member of the Mo Lan Chen Family, she had high network privileges, allowing her access to information unavailable to most.

Seeing the rave reviews online about the Crystal Light Escape, she sincerely thanked Li Cunxu.

"No need to thank me; it's mutually beneficial," Li Cunxu replied, gesturing, "Better retrieve your drunken Little Medicine Deer quickly, or else it'll keep using the Crystal Light Escape and disappear."

Alarmed by his words, Chen Lu immediately attempted to use the Beast Taming Space, but couldn't retrieve it.

"Why can't I retrieve it?"

The unexpected situation left Chen Lu in a frantic state.

"Don't worry, I think you must've been too anxious and didn't consider the distance. The Little Medicine Deer has exceeded your retrieval range," Li Cunxu reassured with a smile.

Looking up, Chen Lu saw how far the Little Medicine Deer had run, realizing her oversight, her cheeks flushed as she quickly jogged over to retrieve it.

The retrieval range for pets is determined by the Beast Taming Space's carrying points.

One point equals one meter.

The standard retrieval range for a Black Iron Beast Master is five meters.

Li Cunxu's carrying points were twice the norm at 10 points, allowing him a retrieval range of ten meters.

In truth, there was no need to worry about the Little Medicine Deer disappearing using Crystal Light Escape, as by the time Chen Lu reached it, she'd discover it standing there, fast asleep.

Chen Lu didn't leave immediately after retrieving the Little Medicine Deer; she lingered in the ranch, particularly fond of the Winged Slime, resembling a little angel with white wings.
