Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 40: Cooking

She knew he was lying and was going to keep pestering him about it when she heard the sound of wind flapping, and before both of them could even look above, Meiying landed in front of them.

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but admire Meiying’s speed—she really didn’t give time to react at all. He had just heard the sound, and she was already in front of him.

Two women came down from Meiying; they were Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui.

"You two seem to be having fun. Did we disturb you or something? Should we leave?"

Huan Caiyi really didn’t show any mercy. She and Zhi Hui had been tense all this time, and these two were laughing here calmly.

Jiang Hao really didn’t know how to respond to that jibe, while Ming Yue just rolled her eyes at Huan Caiyi, knowing that she was just feeling upset.

"Aunt, I was going to cook something. Do you want some or not?"

When Huan Caiyi heard this, her eyes lit up.

"Of course! I want to eat your cooking, dear. You are truly the best!"

Jiang Hao became speechless at her mood swings. He truly didn’t know them well enough to understand the situation. He had really thought she was angry just a moment ago.

Zhi Hui looked at Jiang Hao to see if he had made any advancement in his cultivation realm, as 21 days had passed. But she didn’t hold any hope, as she knew he would require a lot more resources to cultivate. The speed difference in cultivation wasn’t much different from other cultivators.

But Ming Yue had a way to cultivate quite fast. Maybe he too had some way, as he was able to stabilize his realm quite fast. So she just checked in case, and she was surprised—there was really an increase in his cultivation realm.

"How long did you take to open your second meridian?"

When Jiang Hao heard this, he didn’t try to hide anything and replied immediately.

"I just advanced today."

Ming Yue was surprised, as she hadn’t known that he had already opened his second meridian. It hadn’t even been a month since he last advanced, after all.

Huan Caiyi also probed him when she heard that and nodded while sighing.

"Damn... no wonder all those bastards wanted to get their hands on a Heaven-grade physique so badly. With this speed, even if they are old geezers with one foot in the grave, they can still cultivate to immortality with the amount of resources they have."

Jiang Hao felt regret for what he had done. Although he was quite mature for his age, he was still just 15 years old. Real maturity comes with experience, after all—no one is born with it.

One more thing he had to remember was that the notes he read about the upper world were limited and only related to Senior Hu Tian’s world. There were many upper worlds, so they might have skills that were different from each other.

Because skills like assimilation were too dangerous for him, Senior Hu Tian would have definitely mentioned it if he had known about it. Or maybe he forgot? Unlikely, right?

Jiang Hao went with Ming Yue, as he didn’t want to be near Huan Caiyi right now. Who knew if she would start bumping his head to calm herself down?

He also wanted to watch Ming Yue cook, as he wanted to learn for himself. He might have to live alone somewhere in the future. Nothing had happened as he had planned, so he wasn’t going to bet on anything from now on. He would have to adjust according to circumstances from this day onwards.

When Ming Yue saw that he was following her, she slowed down to let him catch up.

"Junior Brother, you are going to help."

"Of course, Senior Sister. How can I let you work alone when I am free too?"

"Is that so? Why didn’t I hear those words when I was hunting alone in the Dark Forest?"

Jiang Hao was tongue-tied. Senior Sister really remembered old grudges—she would definitely use this against him in the future too.

"Senior Sister, how can I steal your limelight? You looked quite heroic, killing all those dangerous beasts. If I had helped you, it wouldn’t have done justice to your graceful swordsmanship."

Ming Yue was stunned when she heard that. She couldn’t help but look at Jiang Hao unblinkingly. Jiang Hao met her eyes and looked at her innocently.

"Junior Brother, has anyone told you that you’re quite the sweet liar?"

"No, Senior sister. I have just heard it from you right now."

"Is that so? Then make sure you remember that from now on, Junior Brother."

"Definitely, Senior Sister."

With this, their staring contest came to an end, and they moved toward a particular building. He had seen it before but didn’t know what it was for.

"Have you ever visited this building, Junior Brother?"

"Not quite."

"It is Aunt’s residential area. She doesn’t like the environment of cave abodes, so she made one for herself. Although, whenever she cultivates seriously, she still uses the cave abode.

This building has a special area where we can cook easily. There’s also a lot of high-grade beast meat stored in it."

Jiang Hao nodded in understanding as they entered the building. It was quite big but simple in style, unlike the Misty Pavilion he had entered, which was decorated to every inch.

They finally entered the kitchen area.

"That is the storage where you will find all kinds of beast meat. Most of them were caught by Sister Meiying. So, which grade of beast meat do you want to eat, Junior Brother? Even Grade 5 beast meat is available in there."

Jiang Hao’s eyes lit up. Grade 5 was equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm, and he had no doubt he could easily handle it. Since his physique was already exposed, he didn’t mind exposing a little bit more—he already trusted them anyway.

"How about Grade 5 beast meat? Of course, if you can’t handle it, then let’s go with whatever you like."

Ming Yue was stunned when she heard that and nodded in understanding.

"It’s not that I can’t eat it, but if I eat that, then I won’t be able to taste it. Since it will be dangerous for me and my body will passively protect me by freezing it completely, and it will take lot of time to digest it. So I will make something else for myself.

Don’t worry. I was going to cook Grade 5 beast meat for Master and Aunt anyway, so it won’t be a problem to add your portion."

Jiang Hao just nodded while thinking to himself. He had seen her use ice to remove sweat too, which meant she could control the Ice element quite easily. Her physique was definitely related to Ice.

"Junior Brother, do you know the name of your physique? It’s quite easy to figure out if you don’t. Since your physique is a part of you, all you need to do is focus on your heart. Gradually, you will gain knowledge about yourself in your mind directly.

Not many know about this, since general knowledge of special constitutions is banned from spreading.

And since physiques are also very rare to the point of being almost impossible to find in lower worlds, many cultivators born with a physique might not even know they have one as some low-level physiques don’t even show much difference at lower levels after all.

Jiang Hao was speechless—not because he didn’t believe Ming Yue, but because this knowledge was quite necessary for him, and Senior Hu Tian hadn’t mentioned it.

Although he was always able to figure out his new abilities or improvements as his physique intuitively guided him, it would be better to know it directly.

He had no doubt that Senior Hu Tian definitely knew about it. Then why didn’t he tell him? Maybe he forgot? Or he knew that Jiang Hao would be able to learn it from somewhere else?

He couldn’t help but look toward his ring. After all, this was the only thing he had left from him, and there was a beautiful girl in there who wasn’t a treasure spirit but still lived like one.

If it was true, then he had to meet her once again to verify it. But he didn’t know how to enter that dimension again.

As he was thinking, he heard Ming Yue’s voice again.

"Junior Brother, come here and dissect it since you wanted to help. Don’t tell me you want a delicate girl like me to do the butcher’s work, do you?"

Jiang Hao sighed and moved to cut the meat as she desired. It was a winged lion-shaped beast, perfectly preserved. It looked quite majestic, as it was a Grade 5 beast, after all. It could have easily killed him if it were alive and he hadn’t bound the ring to himself. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"catch."

He caught a knife that was too beautiful to be a butcher’s knife.

"It’s a Grade 5 treasure, You won’t be able to cut its meat easily without it—unless you have something of that level or higher and you’re hiding it from me."

Jiang Hao knew that pills and treasures were divided into grades, just like body cultivation and spirit beast realms.
