Chapter 293: Roasting the Big Goose
After dragging Leo into the cave, the man examined him and found signs of life. He extended his sword, made a few points on Leo's body, and sealed his acupoints.
Then he connected his broken bones and secured them with wooden sticks and grass vines.
Finally, he ignited a pile of dry firewood in the cave.
Looking at the blazing flames, he felt extremely hungry. It had been a long time since he had eaten roasted meat.
Curiously inspecting Leo on the ground, the man pondered why such a handsome man, dressed so well, would have fallen off a cliff.
Observing Leo's tender and lively appearance, the man couldn't help but think that he looked more than ten times better than his own disciple.
Should he consider taking in another disciple?
In the corner, there was an old cell phone. The man picked it up, blew off the dust, and dialed the only contact in his phone.
In a calm voice, he uttered a few words, "Disciple, I feel like eating roasted meat!"
Soon enough, a well-dressed man, carrying a black plastic bag, appeared at the bottom of the cliff.
The plastic bag was continuously dripping with blood, containing two geese that he had just bought from the market, already slaughtered.
He was Thomas, the disciple and human trafficking leader who kidnapped children around to cultivate his extraordinary abilities.
His extraordinary ability, "Rejuvenation of Youth," was learned from the owner of the cave.
According to his master, after practicing "Rejuvenation of Youth" for three years, one would acquire the ability to self-heal any injuries or illnesses. After ten years, one could achieve everlasting youth, and after twenty years, one could be rejuvenated and return to childhood.
Thomas had been practicing this extraordinary ability for eight years, only two years away from eternal youth.
Seeing the fire in the cave, Thomas entered with the two geese in hand.
"Master, I brought two big geese for you..."
Suddenly, he noticed Leo lying on the ground and was greatly shocked.
"Master, I know you want meat, but even if you want to eat it, you can't eat human flesh!"
"He was injured and I saved him," the cave owner calmly replied.
So that's what happened! It scared Thomas.
Thomas skewered the geese on sticks and roasted them over the fire. When they were about 80% cooked, he sprinkled them with salt, cumin powder, and chili powder.
He knew that his master had been living in the cave since childhood, drinking spring water and eating wild game, and had become accustomed to roasted food.
However, before Thomas arrived, whenever the master wanted to eat meat, he would hunt in the mountains himself and had no seasoning.
Eight years ago, after owing a huge loan that he couldn't repay, he was distraught and jumped off the cliff to end his life. After being saved by his master, the "Rejuvenation of Youth" was imparted to him.
Practicing this ability required consuming fresh blood daily for energy. While his master would consume snake blood, he didn't dare to catch snakes, so he used the blood of other animals.
Living at the bottom of the cliff for half a year, one day he suddenly discovered a shortcut to the outside world and eagerly wanted to take his master along.
But his master stubbornly refused, claiming that there were bad people outside and it was safer to stay at the bottom of the cliff.
Thomas had no choice but to venture out alone.
Later, due to his assistance to others...
A human trafficker fled for his life and unexpectedly joined a human trafficking gang. From then on, everything got out of hand. With the self-repairing function of "Rejuvenation of Youth," he became the leader of the human trafficking gang.
After leaving the bottom of the cliff, unable to drink fresh animal blood, he encountered obstacles in his cultivation. One day, he had a whim and cut a child's finger, releasing half a bowl of blood.
He discovered that the blood of the child was the most delicious among all blood. He became addicted after just one drink and thus embarked on an irreversible path.
However, he secretly kept all of this hidden from his master.
The owner of the mountain cave, while roasting a large goose, casually asked, "How is the child's cultivation progressing? Has there been any recent improvement?"
