Chapter 191: Chapter 191: I Am Doing Math Problems in the Green Origin Realm

In the West State, within the Divine Spear Sect located at the periphery of the Ten Thousand Mountains, a group of elders were gathered around an instrument, discussing animatedly.

"The concentration of Ghost Energy has risen another few points. Haven’t we found the source yet?"

As one of the major sects of the West State, the Divine Spear Sect was not situated in a bustling area, but was instead connected to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

This was not for seclusion, but to guard the Ghost Gate.

Millennia ago, a great bronze gate that could connect to the Ghost Realm appeared deep within these mountains. The day the gate opened, thousands upon thousands of ghosts appeared in the Green Origin Realm.

The Night Parade of Hundred Demons.

Those ghosts possessed no rationality whatsoever, killing any person they saw. At the time, they caused immense losses to the West State.

The death toll was staggering.

Later, a man appeared, carrying a spear. He slaughtered his way through the ghosts and drove them back into the Ghost Realm.

Speaking of which, the Divine Spear Sect had no direct connection to that master of the spear path. It was merely a sect founded by a group of people who had been saved by the Gun God.

Even after the Gun God vanished without a trace, they remained here, taking it upon themselves to guard the Ghost Gate.

Before they knew it, they had become one of the major sects.

The Ghost Gate, which had been quiet for many years, had shown signs of activity in recent days. They detected the concentration of Ghost Energy continuously soaring—a sign that the Ghost Gate was about to open again.

It should be explained that the Ghost Realm is not a hell, but rather an independent minor realm, similar to the Green Origin Realm.

It’s just that the world is inhabited by creatures that are innately ferocious and bloodthirsty. Because they are wreathed in smoke-like black energy and resemble malevolent specters, they were named ghosts.

These ghosts were not the same kind as the ghost spirits controlled by Zhang Yue.

"Just give me a little more time."

A white-bearded old man was squatting to the side, his fingers constantly forming signs as he performed calculations.

Many years had passed, and the world had changed.

The Ghost Gate still existed within the mountains, but its specific location had shifted.

He was calculating its new position.

Streams of Spiritual Power flowed into the instrument. Countless complex and obscure arrays enveloped it, and amidst flashes of spiritual light, a beam of light shot out from the instrument, transforming into the image of a place.

It was a small patch of woods, inhabited by a colony of rabbits.

Most demon beasts evolved after absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, thereby gaining sentience. However, not all flora and fauna could break through their shackles.

And rabbits, being at the bottom of the food chain, had produced very few demon beasts in the history of the Rabbit Clan.

But now, through the light projection, the people of the Divine Spear Sect saw the startling red glow and vicious intent in the rabbits’ eyes, as well as the black, smoky mist drifting from their bodies.

"It’s Ghost Energy!"

The elders’ expressions grew grim.

"It seems the Ghost Gate hasn’t fully opened yet, but the Ghost Energy leaking out is already corrupting the surrounding area."

One of the reasons they feared the Ghost Realm like the plague was because the Ghost Energy would corrupt the living beings of the Green Origin Realm. It could grant sentience to unsentient creatures, but what it created were vicious spirits.

As for those who were already sentient, it only made them more savage.

Even a cultivator’s rationality would be eroded by prolonged contact with Ghost Energy.

There had been no shortage of backstabbing incidents caused by it in the past.

Fortunately, they now possessed Elixir Pills and Spiritual Artifacts that could resist the Ghost Energy’s corruption.

"Found it."

The white-bearded man clapped his hands together with a cry of surprise, drawing everyone’s gaze.

A map of the Ten Thousand Mountains spread out before them, and a single spot lit up with a red dot.

"It’s right here."

If they found the source of the Ghost Energy and sealed the leak, they could delay the opening of the Ghost Gate.

"There’s no time to lose. We must act now."

One elder, decisive and swift, went out to rally the troops in the blink of an eye. He would lead the team to suppress this Ghost Energy incident.

...

Deep in the mountains, unaware that people were about to arrive, Lu Wu lifted the lid of her pot.

The spicy rabbit heads were cooked through.

Lu Wu sprinkled on some Sichuan pepper powder, sesame oil, and sesame seeds, and they were officially ready.

"CHIRP! CHIRP!"

Huohuo hopped about on Lu Wu’s shoulder, flapping her wings to express her urgent desire.

’It smells so good! I wanna eat!’

Lu Wu deeply agreed.

But then came the problem: with only three rabbit heads for one person and five beasts, how could they possibly be divided fairly?

Lu Wu’s gaze drifted over to the two foxes. It had been a long time since graduation, and now, faced with a difficult math distribution problem, she felt like her brain had short-circuited.

"CHIRP!"

"Xiao Wuwu, you eat one."

Huohuo had spoken.

She was the leader of the beasts, and Gou Aotian and Mimi expressed their agreement.

’The master definitely gets one all to herself.’

Of the two remaining rabbit heads, Huohuo picked one up in her beak and placed it in front of the two foxes.

"CHIRP!"

Eat!

Huohuo waved a wing magnanimously. The last one would be split between the three little ones.

Although it was a small amount, barely a taste for a demon beast with a large appetite, it was enough.

’Anyway, this is only the first day of the stall. There’ll be more to eat later.’

’Besides, after tasting the rabbit heads, they had already decided to go wipe out the rest of those rabbits later.’

Bunnies: Annihilate us? You really underestimate us blackened bunnies!

The surface of the thoroughly cooked rabbit heads was coated in red oil and chili peppers, gleaming with a greasy luster. A few Sichuan peppercorns were hidden in the tender meat, blended in, waiting to surprise the diner.

The overall color was bright and vibrant. The numbing, spicy aroma that assaulted the nose was mixed with a savory, soy-sauce-like fragrance, a mouthwatering scent.

It whetted the appetite.

Lu Wu picked up a rabbit head and took a small bite, an expression of pure enjoyment spreading across her face.

The three little ones had the exact same expression.

The two foxes, however, stared at the rabbit head, which gave off an intense smell. Seeing the reactions of the human and the other beasts, they still hesitated.

’It smells amazing, but... can you really eat this stuff?’

’Those rabbits were emitting black smoke.’

’Aren’t you supposed to be careful when you run into things with that smoky-eye look these days?’

’And they’re just eating it?’

The rabbit meat had shrunk slightly during the high-heat cooking, but it wasn’t dry at all. Instead, it was tender, succulent, and full of flavor.

With the skin removed, the threads of meat, saturated with sauce, were incredibly fine and tender.

The aromas of star anise, cinnamon, and other spices had completely permeated the meat, creating a complex fragrance that was difficult to describe, yet so delicious one couldn’t stop eating.

Lu Wu licked the corner of her mouth, catching a sesame seed and a bit of sauce.

The sesame seeds, added as a garnish, introduced another layer, making the texture even more outstanding.

Lu Wu had reduced the sauce thoroughly, so the rabbit heads also had a faint, tantalizingly charred aroma.

As the plentiful, tender meat slowly melted in the mouth, the savory, sweet aftertaste of the braising liquid was most prominent.

But just when you let your guard down, the numbing spiciness would launch a sneak attack, gradually conquering every corner of your mouth, making its fiery heat impossible to ignore.

"MEOW!"

The little kitten stuck its tongue out, panting continuously to cool down from the spice.

He hadn’t been with Lu Wu for long and was eating something this heavily flavored for the first time.

’It’s brutally spicy, so spicy my soul is about to leave my body!’

’But it’s also incredibly satisfying.’

Compared to this rabbit head, the wild rabbits he used to hunt in the back mountains of the Heavenly Buddha Temple were practically a pile of crap.

’Oh no, wait. I’m a cat, not Dahuang. I don’t eat crap.’

As if sensing he was being slandered, Dahuang glanced at Mimi, then with a flick of his tail, immersed himself once more in the deliciousness of the rabbit head.

The numbness from the Sichuan pepper and the heat from the chili accumulated until even their lips started to go numb.

Eat, eat, eat. They simply couldn’t stop.

The Ghost Clan of the Ghost Realm, a result of the incompatibility between Ghost Energy and Spiritual Energy.
