The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 323 - 322: Throwing Money Around

Throughout his life, the Dragon Ascending Emperor had achieved little in his youth and middle age, fatigued by the court’s strife.

In his later years, he built a thatched hut within the Imperial Palace and withdrew from court affairs. No one knew that he had actually comprehended such a Spirit Taming Technique.

Unfortunately, the Emperor Taizhong realized it too late. Until his death, he had only mastered the basics.

Before he died, to prevent this technique from falling into the wrong hands, he disguised it as the Royal Garden Cultivation Technique and ordered the Crown Prince to seal it in the Royal Spiritual Weapon Vault.

The Emperor Taizhong meticulously hoped that in the years to come, a prince of the Longteng lineage would cast aside the pursuit of fame and profit, seeking out this Spirit Taming Technique.

Alas, from that moment on, the cultivation technique was left forgotten, sealed away on the first level, with no one paying it any attention.

If it hadn’t been for Gui Hu specifically instructing Xin Lin to retrieve the book this time, it likely would have remained sealed in obscurity.

"What a Spirit Taming Technique, just don’t know if it’s truly that exceptional."

Xin Lin was filled with emotion after reading and firmly memorized the Spirit Taming Technique.

After Xin Lin had learned the Spirit Taming Technique, she took another look at the Heaven-defying Book.

"Life Master: Xin Lin.

Identity: Daughter of the former imperial physician, Chu Beiqing.

Cultivation:

Dark Power: Advanced martial master.

Spiritual Power: Intermediate Spirit Warrior.

Job: Beginner medical disciple, One-star Spirit Cuisine Master, rookie Summoning Master.

Heaven-defying Value: 62."

Her Heaven-defying Value had increased by 1 point during the process of learning.

Xin Lin felt like she had discovered a new continent, secretly thinking, if she had the chance to encounter Empress Feng again and infuriate her, it would also be a good method to game the Heaven-defying Value.

Suddenly, a growling noise came from her stomach.

Xin Lin looked up and realized that dawn was breaking.

Despite having eaten quite a bit at last night’s celebration banquet, her exhaustion was great.

Seeing that it was still early, with some time before the Water Wraith Gang’s breakfast, Xin Lin couldn’t help but think of the Wind Breath Braised Pork Belly she made for Murong Ziyue last time.

As a One-star Spiritual Delicacy Master and a provider of spiritual food, why should she settle for less when it comes to her own stomach, especially now that she had a substantial amount of Heaven-defying Value at her disposal.

Xin Lin weighed her options, made her way to the pantry, gathered some ingredients, and took out the Dan Wood Furnace.

"Two portions of Wind Breath Braised Pork Belly."

Xin Lin acted like someone with deep pockets.

Originally a Xuanwu Fifth Realm, Murong Ziyue not only got rid of the poison in her body after eating a piece of Wind Breath Braised Pork Belly but also increased her cultivation by one level. Xin Lin figured that if she ate a piece, even if she didn’t breakthrough, at least it would strengthen her body and recover some energy to confront Chu Tianyi throughout the day.

"Life Book tip: Crafting two servings of One-star Spiritual Delicacy will cost 20 Heaven-defying Value."

Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted from the Dan Wood Furnace.

Xin Lin couldn’t wait and opened the furnace.

Inside, there lay two small, square pieces of braised pork belly, each no larger than a chunk of fermented bean curd.

Marbled with fat and lean, the meat shone a lustrous red—translucent fat like rock sugar, tender lean meat, and the entire piece emanated an indescribable fragrance as the juices dribbled.

After a moment’s thought, Xin Lin carefully picked up one piece, planning to first eat one and save the other for Silly Chu.

Before the meat reached her mouth, she found herself eagerly salivating, about to taste the legendary Wind Breath Braised Pork Belly.

But before the meat could touch her lips, in the next moment, Xin Lin saw a gray blur falling from the sky.

The intruder moved with astonishing speed, and with a howl, swallowed the piece of Wind Breath Braised Pork Belly that Xin Lin had just prepared.

"!!!"

Xin Lin’s eye twitched fiercely.
