These alligators were spirit beasts, and their hides were definitely valuable. Especially the Purple Thunder Spirit Alligator mother, its hide was so tough that even grenades couldn’t pierce it. If we made it into leather jackets, they would be more practical than bulletproof vests.
Furthermore, the fresh blood of the Purple Thunder Spirit Alligator mother could be collected to draw runes, and its effect would be much stronger than that of the Wind Spirit Grass juice.
While Curitis directed his comrades to skin the alligators, he asked Leo, “Mr. Bloomer, do you want the alligator meat?”
“Of course, alligator meat is delicious. Cut it into small pieces and collect it,” Leo replied.
Curitis was somewhat surprised by Leo’s willingness to eat alligator meat, but after the intense battle earlier, his stomach was growling.
Jennifer stood at a distance, watching as these men rushed towards the alligator meat. She was hesitant because she had reservations about eating alligator.
Bard pointed to the pond and asked, “Mr. Bloomer, there are still many alligators in the pond. Should we deal with them?”
Leo smiled and replied, “No need to eradicate them. These Purple Thunder Spirit Alligators are valuable. Let’s keep them in this pond.”
The Purple Thunder Spirit Alligators had richer spiritual energy than the White Jade Turtle. Eating them would greatly benefit one’s cultivation.
Half an hour later, at the Seven Stars Sword Sect’s training ground.
On the square, there were six large bonfires, two of which had wire grills set up. On these grills, two alligators had their skins and innards removed.
The alligator meat was sliced open with a knife, and various seasonings and herbs were added into the crevices, filling the air with a rich aroma.
Just the scent alone made mouths water.
On the other four bonfires, there were four large pots. Inside these pots, the broth bubbled and simmered, with meat chunks occasionally rising to the surface. The aroma from these pots was even more intense than the alligator meat roasting on the grills.
Curitis, Roy, along with over a hundred Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples, gathered around the roasted alligator and alligator stew, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
“I wonder what alligator meat tastes like; it’s so fragrant!”
“I’ve never had alligator meat in my entire life…”
“I can’t control my drooling!”
As the people gazed at the grilled alligator meat and the stew in the pots, they joyfully chatted among themselves.
Since Leo didn’t say anything, no one moved.
“It’s a good thing the Seven Stars Sword Sect’s treasure trove has such abundant herbs,” Leo said with a hint of delight in his eyes. The combination of Purple Thunder Spirit Alligator meat and high-quality herbs from the Sect’s treasury would bring out its maximum benefits.
It wasn’t until the alligator meat on the grill turned golden brown and the meat in the pots became tender that Leo smiled and said to the eagerly waiting crowd, “Alright, you can dig in now.”
Upon hearing Leo’s words, the crowd cheered and each person grabbed a bowl to scoop some of the meat soup from the pots or used a knife to cut pieces of alligator meat from the grill.
“Mr. Bloomer, you should taste it first,” Curitis filled a large bowl and handed it to Leo.
Leo accepted the bowl and said, “Sure, you should eat plenty too; it’s good for your cultivation.”
Jennifer stood at a distance, watching the enthusiastic crowd rush towards the alligator meat, but she didn’t move.
Though she admitted the meat smelled tempting, she had a deep-seated aversion to eating alligator meat.
Little Stone stood beside her, blinking its eyes and sniffing the air, clearly attracted by the scent.
With the first bite of alligator meat, everyone’s eyes lit up.
“It’s so delicious! I never expected alligator meat to be this tasty!”
“I only had a single bite, and I feel warmth spreading in my stomach. It’s like my whole body is filled with strength!”
The scene that followed was one of people enthusiastically indulging in the feast before them.
At this moment, everyone transformed into voracious eaters, competing to devour the grilled alligator meat and the meat soup from the pots.
There was no way to resist the allure of the flavor; it was both incredibly delicious and endlessly satisfying.
Leo handed a large bowl of alligator meat to Jennifer and said, “Why don’t you and Little Stone try some?”
Jennifer leaned down and asked Little Stone, “Little Stone, do you want to eat?”
“Y-es… yes…” Little Stone stammered, its eyes fixed on the tantalizing aroma.
Jennifer looked at Leo, concerned, and asked, “Is it okay for a child to eat it?”
Leo reassured her with a smile, “It’s perfectly fine. Eating it will make Little Stone grow stronger and recover his speaking ability faster.”
As people indulged in their feast, something unexpected happened. Curitis, who had already consumed two large bowls of alligator meat, suddenly felt a surge of heat in his abdomen. He quickly sat down cross-legged and began to practice the Seven Stars Internal Technique to digest the alligator meat.
Five or six minutes later, a faint golden light emanated from Curitis’s body. It spread across his entire body, and it was evident that he had become a low-level martial cultivator.
Curitis opened his eyes, and a glimmer of golden light flashed in them. “I’ve broken through! I’ve become a cultivator!” he exclaimed, his face filled with excitement.
“Congratulations, Curitis!” Roy congratulated him with a smile.
Roy also felt a surge of heat in his abdomen, so he immediately sat down and began to circulate the Seven Stars Internal Technique to assimilate the newfound energy.
Five minutes later, a faint layer of golden light appeared on Roy’s skin. Clearly, Roy had also crossed the threshold to become a cultivator.
Jim, Clark, and Bard watched in envy as their comrades achieved breakthroughs.
Seeing Curtis and Roy transform from ordinary people into martial artists so quickly, Franklin couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. It had taken him three years to progress from entering the Seven Stars Sword Sect to becoming a lower-level martial artist, and during those three years, he had spent a significant amount of time in training every day.
Now, witnessing two ordinary men break through so easily with the help of alligator meat, Franklin couldn’t help but entertain the idea that if he had met Leo earlier, he might have already reached the next level of martial arts, possibly even becoming a lower-tier martial master, with the power of the special diet.
Next, another Seven Stars Sword Sect disciple experienced a breakthrough after consuming the alligator meat.
In just a short time, three people had broken through consecutively, and everyone understood that it was the effect of the alligator meat.
Subsequently, a comical scene unfolded as everyone rushed to eat the alligator meat, their bellies growing round from their voracious appetite.
After satisfying their hunger, the group of people began to practice their martial arts techniques to digest the food in their stomachs.
