Lu Yu understood that this hunger was probably the result from the fusion of the Delicacy Cells.

When he arrived downstairs, all he saw were old and shabby furniture.

However, the fresh flowers on the table, the various decorations in the house, and the different species of herbs that were being sun-dried along the corridor, all exuded the pleasing warmth of a home.

Lu Yu opened the freezer and started searching.

Soon, Lu Yu’s eyes were drawn to a large piece of beef that weighed at least 7 or 8 catties.

According to his memory, this was the meat from the Barbaric Blood Ox. The Barbaric Blood Ox was a sub-species of the ordinary ox genus that had evolved from absorbing the spiritual energy and blood fog from the subterranean caverns.

Compared to ordinary oxen, this Barbaric Blood Ox meat not only had a better texture, it also had a much higher nutritional value. It could even replenish a certain amount of health vitality.

Hence, many Martial Arts Warriors would usually eat this Barbaric Blood Ox to replenish their health vitality and fortify their skills evolution process.

At this time, Lu Yu’s stomach was rumbling with hunger. He quickly took out this large chunk of Barbaric Blood Ox meat, sliced it up with a few simple moves, and began to fry it.

Lu Yu was simply too hungry and couldn’t care less about cooking methods. After frying it, he quickly ate it.

When the food entered his mouth, it was soft yet a little bit chewy. It was tender and juicy, extremely delicious.

Lu Yu had never thought that with a simple frying method, this beef would be so delicious. He had never eaten such delicious beef before.

Lu Yu hurriedly wolfed down the meat. Soon, he had completely devoured the 7 or 8 catties of beef.

......

After eating, Lu Yu finally felt less hungry.

Immediately, a series of notifications appeared before Lu Yu’s eyes.

[Ding! Detected that host has eaten F-class Barbaric Blood Ox Tenderloin Meat. Received: Health Vitality +15!]

[Ding! Detected that host ate F-class Barbaric Blood Ox Sirloin Meat. Received: Strength +13!]

[Ding! Detected that host has eaten F-class Barbaric Blood Ox T-bone Meat. Received: Energy +18!]

After this series of prompts appeared, Lu Yu felt his body undergo a tremendous change.

His strength had increased significantly, and he was full of vigor. His mind was much clearer, and he felt very refreshed.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu’s physical qualities had risen to a whole new level.

So this was the SSS-class Gluttony Talent? To think that it was actually so powerful!

With this little bit of improvement, Lu Yu felt his entire body fill with strength. How could this be the body of a 90-year-old man?

If he were to go back to his previous life, Lu Yu felt that if he participated in a weightlifting competition at the age of 90, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to win the championship!

Right at this time, sounds of laughter and talking could be heard coming from the courtyard. Soon afterwards, a woman came in accompanied by a young boy and a young girl.

Lu Yu immediately recognized them. They were his wife and children.

Lu Yu married late. Now, his wife, Giovanna, was only in her forties and still charming. His son, Lu Shan, and his daughter, Lu Shui, were only 18 years old and were at the peak of their youth.

With the awakening of spiritual energy, age difference was no longer a problem. It was common for powerful martial arts warriors to marry a 17 or 18-year-old woman when they were 300 to 400 years old.

“Old man, what are you doing in the kitchen?” His wife, Giovanna, walked over with a puzzled look.

When she arrived at the kitchen, she saw the now empty packaging that used to contain a piece of Barbaric Blood Ox meat weighing 7 to 8 catties. There were some traces of the eaten meat on the plate.

“I was a bit hungry, so I fried the beef and ate it.” Lu Yu said with a sheepish smile.

On hearing this, Giovanna was somewhat surprised. She then shouted happily, “Shanshan, Shuishui, come and take a look. Your father actually finished all 7 to 8 catties worth of Barbaric Blood Ox meat in one go. That was exactly what he used to do in his youth!”

“Really? Hasn’t Dad’s appetite dropped a lot recently?”

“I remember that when I was young, Dad did require a big plate of rice for every meal!”

Lu Shan and Lu Shui walked over and saw with their own eyes that Lu Yu had indeed finished all the beef. Both of them were surprised and delighted.

His son Lu Shan gave Lu Yu an affectionate hug and said, “Dad, you look much more energetic now and your appetite has improved by so much. You instantly look so much younger than before!”

Beaming with joy, the three of them were delighted to see how energetic Lu Yu had become.

As Lu Yu had transmigrated here, he didn’t know if he had fused with the former Lu Yu’s memories. However, he felt an inexplicable strong sense of kinship and closeness towards his current family.

In his past life, Lu Yu was an orphan who had never experienced family love. At this time, there was an incredible sense of warmth in his heart.

“All right, all right, hurry up and prepare to celebrate the old man’s birthday. It’s a good day today!” said Giovanna happily.

Immediately afterwards, they set up the birthday decorations and prepared a birthday bash for Lu Yu.

“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…”

The three of them sang the birthday song together. It was a joyous occasion.

The sky outside had turned completely dark, but this tiny home was aglow with immense warmth.

After the birthday song, Giovanna took out a small brocade box and handed it to Lu Yu.

“Old man, our financial means are limited. This is a birthday present we got for you, hope you don’t mind its simplicity!” Giovanna said with a smile.

Lu Yu accepted it and opened it. Inside was a piece of black mountain ginseng.

Lu Yu was able to recognize it at a glance from his memories.

This was wild mountain ginseng, and it was a very good nutritional supplement. It had the ability to refresh the mind, clear the head and strengthen the memory.

Lu Yu remembered that the wild mountain ginseng was not cheap. To be able to purchase this, Giovanna must have used up all her savings.

Lu Yu immediately wanted to return it. This wild mountain ginseng was too precious. If he exchanged it for money and food, it would be enough for their family to live for at least a year.

However, Lu Yu immediately recalled the instructions from his gluttony talent. The higher the quality of the ingredients, the more surprises there would be. This wild ginseng might be of great help to him.

He should eat it to increase his abilities and then go on to pass the Federation Martial Arts Trial in three days’ time so that their family could continue to receive the Federation’s allowance. This was the best choice.

With this thought, Lu Yu put the gift away.

“Thank you for your kind intentions, my dear wife. You don’t have to worry about the Federation Martial Arts Trial in 3 days’ time!” Lu Yu said gratefully.

After that, the family spent some time enjoying themselves before Lu Yu excused himself first to return to his room.

After returning to his room, he took out the wild mountain ginseng. Due to its small size, Lu Yu used it to make tea and drank it.

[Ding! Host has drunk C-class Wild Mountain Ginseng tea.]

[First time consuming this item, explosive effect triggered. Congratulations! Received: 100x Power of Understanding!]

All of a sudden, Lu Yu felt as if his world had been turned upside down.

After a brief moment of dizziness, everything appeared brand new to his eyes. Lu Yu felt as if his mind had been flung wide open.

He picked up the book of basic skill evolution entitled ‘Channeling Skill’, and started reading it.

All of a sudden, Lu Yu felt a rush of enlightenment. Overwhelmed by a sudden wave of epiphany, he felt that the technique he had practiced for most of his life was simply ridiculous.

The original channeling skill was only to channel the natural spiritual energy inherent in the air.

There was not much natural spiritual energy in the air to begin with. If he were to channel it into his body using this method, he would only be able to retain less than a tenth of it. His skills evolution would be incomparably slow.

With his gluttony talent, not only would he be able to improve this method, but he would also be able to absorb all the natural spiritual energy in the air and keep it inside his body. He could obtain even more using this method than receiving the spiritual energy from his digestive tract.

Compared to the thin natural spiritual energy in the air, people who had absorbed spiritual energy in rare medicinal products for many years would have obtained incredibly immense spiritual energy.

In the past, Lu Yu had no power of understanding and could only practice and evolve his skills according to the crude guidelines that the Federation had devised. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

The current Lu Yu did not have to be restrained by this narrow skill evolution method at all. He could come up with a skill evolution method that completely suited him!

As he arrived at this conclusion, Lu Yu picked up a pen and wrote on a piece of paper: Great Dao Heaven Devouring Skill!
