Gou became a god or devil after splitting his body

Mangshan Town, spice shop.

"Boss, give me 50 kilograms of these hot peppers, white salt, and fragrant powder."

As soon as he entered the store, Li Yan waved his hand and cleared out the inventory in this small shop.

"Sir, are you going to open a restaurant?"

Before leaving, the boss asked.

"No, I eat it myself."

After that, Li Yan headed towards Mangshan with a half-person-high package.

"If you eat it alone, you have to eat it for several years. What a weird person."

The boss muttered, and then happily counted the money, calculating how much he had earned just now.

On the other side, Li Yan had already stepped into the territory of Mangshan.

"Go to the cave we found before and put these things away."

The seasonings that Li Yan bought were all for barbecue in the future.

As a clone, he has no sense of pain, but he still has a sense of taste and can enjoy the deliciousness of food.

He doesn't want to eat barbecue for several months without even salt grains.

The cave was very remote. Li Yan accidentally discovered it when he was tracking a forest deer a few days ago.

Even if he ignored poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and was not afraid of thorns, it took Li Yan two quarters of an hour to find the cave.

Li Yan had only passed by in a hurry before, and he did not have time to observe the cave carefully.

Now he can take a closer look.

Li Yan simply measured the cave. The entrance was one head taller than him, and at the widest point, it could accommodate his outstretched arms.

Inside, he could see some animal feces and scattered pebbles on the rocky ground.

As he went deeper, the cave became darker.

At this time, Li Yan had already lit a torch he brought, illuminating the area of ​​10 feet around.

The cave was not deep. Li Yan walked about a hundred steps and reached the end.

Along the way, he encountered bats, two or three-meter-long spotted venomous snakes, and was besieged by a group of iron-backed centipedes as thick as his arms.

In general, except for the lack of large animals, there are still many other small animals.

After spending some time, Li Yan sprinkled the large bag of insect repellent powder he brought with him all over the cave.

Suddenly, more creatures fled out under the stimulation of the insect repellent powder.

Many of them were things Li Yan had never seen before, but looking at their colorful colors, he knew that these things were good materials for refining Gu.

Many of them would bite or sting Li Yan when they passed by him, and these ignorant ones were all stepped on to death by him.

As more died, other poisonous creatures began to escape around him.

It took a full quarter of an hour before no more poisonous creatures appeared.

At this time, Li Yan began to arrange the cave where he would live in the future.

First, a rock pit where a torch could be inserted was dug every two feet away, so that the entire cave could be illuminated.

With the power of the three tripods, Li Yan held an iron pick and smashed it at random, and a pit would be formed.

After some repairs, it could be used as a place to place torches.

A total of 12 torches were placed, and they could be directly lit when needed.

Then, it was time to sort out the place to live.

Li Yan made a simple broom with the branches around him, and spent an incense stick of time to clean the entire cave.

He took out a few wooden boards from a half-person-high package to form a foldable table.

For the bed and stool, Li Yan was going to find some tree stumps and hay outside to make do with.

After that, he dug a few large holes in the surrounding stone walls to store spices and place utensils such as bowls and chopsticks.

After a series of actions, it was already noon, and they finally settled down roughly.

"On the first day in Mangshan, eat a pot of snake soup to fill your stomach."

The snake was naturally the spotted venomous snake that attacked Li Yan before, and Li Yan directly crushed its head.

The water came from a nearby mountain spring stream left from the mountain.

This is also an important reason why Li Yan chose this cave.

Otherwise, Mangshan is so big, there are many caves, why choose here.

It's because it's close to the water source and convenient for life.

Wash the snake, cut it into several sections with a machete, add water and put it in the pottery pot brought by Li Yan.

Put it on the dry wood that he picked up, and the water started to boil after a while.

When the aroma of food drifted out, Li Yan sprinkled in spices, white salt and other seasonings.

"Delicious snake soup, out of the pot."

After the snake soup cooled for a while, Li Yan picked up the pottery pot and poured it into his mouth.

"Burp", put down the pottery pot, Li Yan burped.

"The taste is average, but the ingredients themselves are okay, full of freshness, but too much salt is added, the overall taste is salty and fresh."

Li Yan commented on the taste of the snake soup he made with some disdain.

"It's not as good as the one made in the cafeteria, the craftsmanship is still not good enough."

It turned out that Li Yan's clone, who had already joined the Li family's medicinal field, was also eating lunch at this time.

The chef was the chef invited by the Li family from the big hotel, who cooked for them.

"Brother Yan, you came at the right time. Today, the canteen is making meatballs made from exotic beast meat. Each person can take three, which is almost one pound."

A handsome and talkative boy sat opposite Li Yan, who was also Li Yan's partner here.

"Oh, Brother Hua Qing, has the canteen used exotic beast meat to cook dishes before?"

As Li Yan spoke, he picked up a meatball the size of a ping-pong ball with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

The meat juice exploded as soon as the steel teeth bit it, and the delicious taste bloomed in Li Yan's mouth.

Then, he chewed it more and swallowed it into his stomach.

Compared with the snake soup he made, it would be an exaggeration to say that it was pig food.

"I have been here for three months. The canteen will make exotic beast meat once a month as a benefit."

"However, the portion is not as large as today. Each time, each person is limited to 5 taels."

Li Qing answered with some doubts.

"I may know some reasons."

"Really? Then tell me quickly."

So, Li Yan told Li Qing some of the things he knew about the exotic beasts in Mangshan, selected some things that he could say, and told them all.

"I see. So, there will be more and more exotic beast meat in the canteen in the future."

"I just don't know if the price of exotic beast meat will drop."

"It shouldn't be possible. Exotic beast meat is a rigid demand. Linshan City can't digest so much exotic beast meat, and it can be transported to the surrounding counties. Anyway, it's impossible to reduce the price."

If the price is reduced, those forces who intend to use Mangshan as a hunting ground will offend a group of people for nothing and get nothing.

In Li Yan's opinion, the price of this exotic beast meat may rise again.

After all, the source of exotic beasts in Linshan City has been monopolized.

The two chatted and ate at the same time.

In this way, Li Yan knew that the young man in front of him, Li Qing, was from the second branch of the Li family.

The Li family is divided into the direct line and the collateral line. The direct line is the big branch, and its source is the previous head of the family.

The previous head of the family gave birth to many sons, but because of the incident thirty years ago, even though the Li family was not the center of the storm, it still suffered a lot of losses, resulting in the death of several sons of the head of the family.

The rest are the so-called five masters of the Li family, all of whom are in the blood exchange realm and firmly hold the power of the direct line.

The collateral line is the second, third, and fourth rooms, and the source is the brothers of the previous generation of the family.

I heard that these four people also have a title, called the Four Tigers of the Li Family.

This is also a major feature of the Li family. The most outstanding people in each generation of the family will be given a title.

Although this generation of the Li family is not yet young, there are already rumors that the family has given this generation the title of Seven Stars.

In other words, the Li family will support seven leading generations in this generation.

Moreover, these seven people are no longer selected from the direct line, but from the entire Li family.

In other words, as long as you can become a part of these seven stars, you can become a direct line, and even control the power of the family later.

It is conceivable that with such a temptation in front of you, no member of the Li family can resist being tempted.

Therefore, the young generation of the Li family has a very high enthusiasm for cultivation.

After all, if you want to become a seven-star, your strength and talent cannot be bad. As long as you can become a warrior in the Bone Forging Realm before the age of eighteen, you have a chance.

When Li Yan heard the news for the first time, he suddenly realized why the Li family would recall the illegitimate children outside at this time, and even provide them with resources for cultivation.

Perhaps it was not only because this was a practice of the Li family, but also because of the influence of the Seven Stars.

I am afraid that someone wanted to cultivate a Seven Star from these illegitimate children of the Li family.

And the first person Li Yan thought of was the Second Clan Elder.

To be honest, although he was from the Second Clan Elder faction, he had not seen this mysterious Second Clan Elder, and he didn't even know who he was.

So, he inadvertently asked Li Qing in front of him about the news of the Second Clan Elder.

"You are talking about the second elder. He is a legend. He grew up from an illegitimate child who was bullied to the elder of the family. It can be said to be a legend."

"He is also a person who hates evil. He is the head of the family's criminal law hall and is recognized as impartial."

"It is also because of him that the family has fewer injustices and made the family more united."

"Speaking of which, Brother Yan, you should thank this second elder more. If it were not for him, you would probably have been harassed."

"You also know that your identity is a bit embarrassing. Many people like to bully people like you."

"But it is precisely because of the deterrence of the second elder that no one dares to bully you at will."

Li Qing, who knew Li Yan's identity, said the above words meaningfully.

After listening to this, Li Yan was thoughtful.

At this time, he already had a clearer impression of the second elder who had never met.

It was a bumpy road, so he must hate evil.
