Chapter 49: Great Benefit of Xuejiao Meat!
"Is this fragrance coming from Azure Heaven Mountain? No wonder, Lin family has been collecting spirit herbs and spirit wine for the past half a month. So, it was all for preparing Xuejiao meat!"
"Half a month ago, didn't we hear rumors that Lin family was collecting a recipe for Xuejiao meat?"
"Well, the meat is a lost cause, but even just smelling this legendary divine gift is worth it."
"Several hundred thousand spirit stones? They must be generous, and only Lin family could make such a grand gesture. Who do you think the meat is for?"
"Of course, apart from the Grand Ancestor in Lin family, who else could make Lin family go to such great lengths? As expected of the Golden Core Realm, I'm so jealous!"
Inside the market, once everyone had identified the source of the fragrance, they retreated like they had been burned. There was no way they could compete with the Grand Ancestor from Lin family, and the difference was like night and day. Everyone understood the reality, so they went their separate ways. However, their breathing was a bit faster than usual, even though they didn't realize it.
At the Azure Heaven Mountain lake, Lin Huaishu and Lin Xiong stared hungrily at the Xuejiao meat grilling on the fire rack. They had to forcefully suppress their desire. At this point, they would have charged forward and devoured it if they weren't reining in their impulses. The meat was just too delicious and tempting.
On the other hand, Lin Xunxian, a martial transcendent and a master of the Dao, maintained his composure, even though it wasn't easy. Only a subtle movement of his throat betrayed his inner yearning.
Lin Xuan wrapped the meat with his spiritual power, tearing off a small piece of Xuejiao meat about the size of three palms, yet it weighed hundreds of catties. He used his Golden Core's spiritual power to present the Xuejiao meat to the three of them.
Seeing Lin Huai and Lin Xiong's expressions, who were itching to eat, Lin Xuan smiled. After all, it was the prey that they had caught, and they had grilled it. He wasn't so selfish that he would eat it all without sharing. He didn't hold back and, with a thought, he severed one of Xuejiao's hind legs, presenting it to the three of them.
"This piece is for you three, and you can eat it yourselves. The leg next to it is for the other Lin family members. Divide it up, and each person can have a bite. After all, you've been working hard for half a month. It wouldn't hurt to taste this legendary divine gift."
Lin Xuan teased while looking at the three of them.
Lin Huaishu and the others were instantly thrilled and respectfully bowed to Lin Xuan, saying, "Thank you, Grand Ancestor!" With that, they couldn't wait to start dividing the meat.
Observing this, Lin Xuan didn't pay much attention and turned his gaze to the remaining Xuejiao meat. He opened his mouth and swallowed tens of thousands of catties of Xuejiao meat, chewing it slowly.
In an instant, his taste buds seemed to explode, and his whole body felt invigorated. At that moment, Lin Xuan had only one feeling: the divine gift of heavens was truly incredible. It was hundreds of times more satisfying than his first time in a previous life.
The second thought that crossed his mind was that he must find Xuejiao whenever he had the chance in the future.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for advancing to Golden Core Fourth Stage!]
As Lin Xuan swallowed the Xuejiao meat, a series of system notifications followed in quick succession. It left him somewhat bewildered.
After a while, as he felt the changes within himself, Lin Xuan finally regained his composure.
"System, check the information panel."

Lin Xuan looked at the information panel on the system, confirming how much improvement the piece of Xuejiao meat had brought him. The length of his body to a certain extent represented his level of strength.
In the past three months, his physique had grown from 1500 meters to 2000 meters, and now, with a two-stage increase in cultivation, his body length had directly reached 3000 meters.
On average, each stage equated to 500 meters in body length.
Furthermore, the awakening level of the Heaven Swallowing Divine Python bloodline had increased by 20%, and even the progress of condensing the new bloodline had increased by 30%. Due to the change in the bloodline, the upper limit of Heaven Swallowing Divine Skill had been raised to the Initial Nascent Soul Realm.
However, Lin Xuan noticed a detail: even though the awakening level of the bloodline had increased by 20%, the upper limit of the bloodline had only gone from the peak of the Sixth Stage to the Late Sixth Stage. Lin Xuan quickly understood the intricacies of this.
On the path of cultivation, it became increasingly challenging as one advanced further. When it came to the late stages, bloodlines were just auxiliary, and individuals had to rely on themselves.
Even among the Heaven Swallowing Divine Python clan, not every member was born with Ninth Stage talent and had their respective bloodline limits. It was just that their lower limit was an unattainable existence for ordinary beings.
