The Great Beast King's stew filled the pot, and the cave fell silent, only the sounds of chomping and slurping could be heard.
Soon, the pot of cooked meat was emptied, and the small ghost beast wished it could jump into the cauldron to lick the pot clean.
Lilly held a large bowl and let out a satisfied burp.
It's so comfortable. My stomach feels warm and cozy.
With a full stomach and quenched thirst, Lilly desired nothing more. She took out a thick cushion from her ring and settled onto it.
She patted the cushion beside her. "Ivan, come and rest for a while."
Thinking of her grandma, Lilly chuckled and said, "My grandma used to say that after a full meal, you should rest. Some people worry that sitting or lying down after eating will hinder digestion and cause weight gain."
"In reality, after a meal, blood rushes to the stomach. At this time, lying down or sitting is beneficial for digestion. So, there's no need to worry about lying down after eating."
Ivan sat down and looked at her with a smile on his face. "So that's how it is."
Lilly nodded. "Yes."
"The reason elders say not to lie down after eating is actually to prevent food reflux, especially for children whose stomachs are not fully developed. Lying down after eating can easily cause vomiting."
"If they vomit, it’s easy to choke. That's why there's this saying, 'Don't lie down after eating.'"
So, there's no need to worry about gaining weight. The main focus should be on safety.
Ivan nodded. "Lilly is quite knowledgeable."
In Lilly's eyes, there was a mix of amusement and longing. "My grandma taught me."
Ivan quietly listened as Lilly talked about what her grandma had said and some interesting things that happened when he came to the underworld.
In this peaceful moment, it felt like time had come to a standstill, creating an indescribable tranquility.
Feeling the warm and comfortable sensation in her stomach, Lilly gradually felt something slowly circulating through her meridians.
It moved so slowly that she almost didn't notice it.
It was at this moment that she realized what had flashed through her mind just now.
"Spirit aura." Lilly suddenly rolled over. "Ivan, it's a spirit aura!"
Ivan was about to reach out to move the strands of hair near her eyes so they wouldn't get in her eyes.
However, he reflexively withdrew his hand when Lilly suddenly rolled over.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on his cold face.
"Cough... um. Spirit aura... what spirit aura?" he coughed and asked.
Lilly said, "After the elixir field and golden substance completely turned into a purple sphere, we embarked on a new path. Spirit energy no longer affects us, right?"
Ivan nodded. "Um... yes."
Lilly said, "However, cultivation still requires energy. Our energy source was spirit energy, like how a car needs fuel."
Ivan gradually understood what she was about to say. "So..."
Lilly said, "Ivan, do you feel it?"
As she mentioned that cultivation needed power, Ivan subconsciously felt the changes in his body. So now he also felt the spiritual force quietly circulating through his meridians.
"It's spiritual force!" he exclaimed in surprise.
Our new path of cultivation could utilize spiritual force.
