Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1271: Chapter 280

However, seeing Li Hao’s skillful cooking techniques, it’s obvious this isn’t his first time doing such a thing.

A guy at the True Immortal Realm Third Level, yet able to evade attacks from the Immortal Monarch Realm… Mi Xueyao took a long look at Li Hao, then stood up and said, “I’ll go if you go, wait for me, don’t even think about shaking me off!”

Li Hao sat cross-legged, shot her a sideways glance, and ignored her.

Seeing Li Hao’s uninterested demeanor, Mi Xueyao had grown accustomed to it, let out a cold snort inwardly, and secretly released a secret technique on the spot. If Li Hao left, she would be able to track him.

After Mi Xueyao left, Li Hao closed his eyes and fully devoted himself to refining the Ancient Demon Flesh.

Threads of Primordial Spirit Power seeped out from the flesh and transformed into pure nutrients for the Divine Soul, merging into his Primordial Spirit.

This Ancient Demon was definitely a great tonic food for the Primordial Spirit, just like how dragon meat cooked in some taverns boosts the physique.

While Li Hao was refining, it didn’t take long before Mi Xueyao returned, casually opened the Heaven and Earth Space, and threw out the half-corpse of an Ancient Demon from within, saying to Li Hao:

“No sign of the Ancient Demon Army nearby, could only pick up some remains.”

Li Hao had almost finished absorbing the essence, opened his eyes, glanced at the remains on the ground, and said, “Doesn’t matter, since it’s you eating, I’ll just take a cooking fee.”

“Cooking fee?”

Mi Xueyao was taken aback.

Li Hao did not respond, just started to pull in the half Ancient Demon, skillfully dissected it with Taowu, and grilled it over a gentle fire as before.

As the sizzling aroma wafted through the air, the Primordial Spirit essence within also dispersed through cooking, carrying a tantalizing scent, subtly enhancing the Primordial Spirit with each breath.

Li Hao split it in half and tossed one part to Mi Xueyao, keeping the other half in his hand, saying, “That’s the cooking fee; half goes to me.”

Mi Xueyao raised an eyebrow and irritably said, “Isn’t that a bit too much? Just a tenth for you would be enough.”

“Then don’t come to me next time, do it yourself.”

Li Hao could not be bothered to haggle.

Mi Xueyao was momentarily taken aback, a bit annoyed, but she had never engaged in these lower-level Artistic Skills, let alone cooking.

However, to admit defeat like this wasn’t in her nature, and given Li Hao’s cold demeanor throughout this journey—she was, after all, in the Immortal Monarch Realm—could the Human Race really treat those in the Immortal Monarch Realm with such nonchalance?

“Fine, I’ll do it myself, this time I’ll let it go for you!”

Mi Xueyao snorted coldly; she had watched Li Hao’s cooking technique and felt it wasn’t that impressive.

As a cultivation genius, having accomplished such hard cultivation tasks, could little cooking really stump her?

She took the half piece of roasted meat, sliced it into small segments, and leisurely started to eat it.

However, as the flavor spread in her mouth, her eating pace involuntarily quickened, and the faint anger in her heart slowly faded away.

Upon finishing, she suddenly discovered to her surprise that the flesh inside her was slowly refining, being absorbed by her body.

Her Primordial Spirit had even slightly strengthened!

Mi Xueyao was somewhat shocked, her beautiful eyes widened; she had heard of cannibalism among peers but never heard of anyone’s Primordial Spirit strengthening after such acts of violence.

Considering her status and position, if such a thing truly existed, it would never have evaded her knowledge. Even their Ancient Demon Clan certainly wouldn’t have remained in a standoff with the Ten Thousand Clans of the True Realm, but rather they’d have engaged in mutual cannibalism, breeding more of the Royal Family.

She looked at Li Hao in surprise, seeing that he had already finished eating, faster than her, and was now sitting cross-legged, seemingly cultivating.

Suddenly, she had some realization as to why the other party had been able to evade the Ancient Demon Commander’s attack earlier.

One must know that the Ancient Demon Commander’s attack contained terrifying Primordial Spirit Power, absolutely a one-hit kill for the True Immortal Realm, it didn’t even require other actions.

But Li Hao was alive and well, indicating his Primordial Spirit was extremely formidable…

Wait, if his Primordial Spirit is extremely formidable, then the range of his Divine Sense would be even broader, wouldn’t that mean…

Her face slightly changed, a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes, could it be that he had known her identity from the start?

If so, why would he dare to accompany her…

Her thoughts intertwined in her mind, and she remained silent.

Li Hao refined and absorbed the half Ancient Demon, and his Primordial Spirit Golden Veins grew by seven or eight strands, indicating another enhancement of the Primordial Spirit.

Previously, on the Stellar Ancient Road, most Ancient Demons he consumed were Holy Level, unlike now, all being True Immortal Realm Ancient Demons, with their flesh carrying a richer Primordial Spirit Power. Through his cooking, it became absorbable by the body.

Had it been eaten raw, it would have no effect.

The next day.

Li Hao waited for the digestion of yesterday’s Ancient Demons to complete, then continued to cook again.

Seeing that Li Hao had no intention to share, Mi Xueyao went out to seek Ancient Demons on her own initiative.

Once Li Hao finished cooking, Mi Xueyao also returned.

She gave Li Hao a glance and, this time, did not throw the Ancient Demon corpse to him for handling, but rather emulated Li Hao’s approach to cut it up, then gathered Chaos Divine Fire from the heavens to slowly roast it.

Li Hao noticed that she had also exhibited Chaos Divine Fire and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow; however, with only Chaos Divine Fire, it merely turns something raw into something cooked, only counting as a segment of cooking technique.

While cooking, Mi Xueyao hummed a little tune to herself, appearing quite relaxed and self-satisfied. When she noticed Li Hao’s gaze, the corner of her mouth curved into what seemed like a cold smile, perhaps mocking, saying:

“Surprised, aren’t you? I mastered the Five-layer of the Fire Dao in the Nine Orders. Your Chaos Divine Fire is quite good, but I can learn it with just a glance.”

Li Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly, mastering the Five-layer of the Fire Dao, which is quite rare even among the Immortal Monarch Realm.

His expression remained calm, not responding, and simply indulged in his own enjoyment.
