Strengthening the Primordial Spirit

However, judging from Li Hao's skillful Cooking techniques, it was clear that this wasn't the first time he had done something like this.

A True Immortal Realm Third Layer cultivator who could dodge an attack from the Immortal Lord Realm expert— Ban Xueyao gave Li Hao a deep look, then stood up and said, "Fine, I'm going. Wait for me, and don't even think about shaking me off!"

Li Hao sat down cross-legged, glanced at her sideways, and ignored her.

Seeing Li Hao's indifferent attitude, Xue Yao got used to it. She snorted inwardly and secretly released a Secret Art so that she could track Li Hao if he left.

After Hua Xueyao left, Li Hao closed his eyes and devoted himself to refining the Ancient Demon's flesh and blood.

Strands of Primordial Spirit power seeped out from his flesh and blood, transforming into pure Divine Soul nourishment and merging into his Primordial Spirit.

This Ancient Demon is definitely a highly nourishing food for those with Primordial Spirit, just like the Dragon Meat Cooking in some taverns to enhance physical strength.

Not long after Li Hao began refining it, Xue Yao returned. She casually tore open Heaven and Earth Space, tossed out half of Ancient Demon's remains, and said to Li Hao:

"There's no sign of the Ancient Demon Army around here; we can only scavenge some remnants."

Li Hao had almost finished refining and absorbing the essence. He opened his eyes, glanced at the remains on the ground, and said, "It doesn't matter. You're the one eating it anyway. I'll just charge you a small Cooking fee."

"Cooking expenses?"

Hua Xueyao 1.

Li Hao didn't answer, but instead began to extract the half of the Ancient Demon, skillfully dissecting it and roasting it over a low flame, just like before.

As the sizzling aroma of oil wafts through the air, the essence of Primordial Spirit within is also released during Cooking, carrying a refreshing and invigorating flavor that subtly enhances Primordial Spirit with every breath.

Li Hao split the food in half and tossed it to Ban Xueyao, then took the other half and said, "This is the Cooking fee; half is mine."

Ban Xueyao raised an eyebrow, saying irritably, "Isn't this a bit too much? One-tenth will do."

"Then don't ask me for help next time, just do it yourself."

Li Hao was too lazy to haggle.

Hua Xueyao was slightly annoyed, but she never touched such low-level Art Skill, let alone Cooking. However, admitting defeat was not in her nature. In addition, she had been treated coldly by Li Hao along the way. She was Immortal Lord Realm, and she wondered if all True Immortal Realm treated Immortal Lord Realm this way among Human Race.

"I'll do it myself then, you get off easy this time!"

Hua Xueyao snorted coldly. She had seen Li Hao's Cooking methods before and didn't think they were anything special.

She's a cultivation genius; even something as difficult as cultivation can't stump her, so how could something as simple as Cooking possibly be a problem?

She took the half-piece of Roast Meat, casually cut off small pieces, and then slowly began to eat.

However, as the flavors unfolded in her mouth, she unconsciously ate faster, and the Anger in her heart slowly faded from her mind.

After she finished eating, she was surprised to find that the flesh and blood were slowly being refined and absorbed by her body.

Her Primordial Spirit was actually slightly enhanced!

Xue Yao was somewhat shocked. Her eyes widened slightly. She had heard of cannibalism, but she had never heard of anyone being able to improve their Primordial Spirit after killing each other.

Given her status and position, if such a thing truly existed, it would never have been kept from her. In fact, her Ancient Demon Clan would never have remained locked in a stalemate with the myriad races of the Myriad Races of the True World; they would have already devoured each other and cultivated even more royal families.

She looked at Li Hao in surprise and doubt, only to find that Li Hao had already finished eating, even faster than her, and was sitting cross-legged in meditation, seemingly cultivating.

She suddenly understood why the other party had been able to dodge the Ancient Demon Commander's attack earlier.

It should be noted that the Ancient Demon Commander's attacks contained terrifying Primordial Spirit power, which would be an instant kill for any True Immortal Realm, requiring no intervention whatsoever.

But Li Hao is alive and well, indicating that his Primordial Spirit is extremely powerful.

Wait, if the opponent's Primordial Spirit is extremely powerful, then the range of their Divine Sense would be even greater, wouldn't that mean---

Her expression changed slightly, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes. Could it be that the other party already knew her identity?

If they knew, why did they still dare to be with me?

Her mind was a jumble of thoughts, and she remained silent.

Li Hao refined and absorbed half of the Ancient Demon, and his Primal Spirit Golden Vein increased by seven or eight more, further enhancing his Primordial Spirit.

Previously on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, most of the Ancient Demon he ate were Saint-Level, unlike now, which are all True Immortal Realm Ancient Demon. Their flesh and blood contain a much stronger Primordial Spirit power, which, after his Cooking, can be absorbed by his body.

If you eat it raw, it will have no effect whatsoever.

The next day.

After Li Hao and the others finished digesting the Ancient Demon from yesterday, they started Cooking again.

Seeing that Li Hao had no intention of sharing, Xue Yao took the initiative to go out and search for the Ancient Demon.

After Li Hao finished Cooking, Hua Xueyao returned.

She glanced at Li Hao, but this time she didn't leave the Ancient Demon Corpse to Li Hao to deal with. Instead, she imitated Li Hao's actions, cutting it up herself, and then condensed Primal Chaos Divine Fire from the heavens and Heaven and Earth to slowly refine and roast it.

When Li Hao saw that his opponent had also used Primal Chaos Divine Fire, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. However, with only Primal Chaos Divine Fire, which merely turned the raw into the cooked, it could only be considered a Cooking technique.

As Hua Xueyao Cooking, she hummed a little tune, quite relaxed and content. When Li Hao looked over, a smile that was both cold and mocking appeared on her lips as she said:

"You didn't expect that, did you? I'm proficient in the Fifth Layer of the Fire Dao Origin within the Nine Orders. Your Primal Chaos Divine Fire is not bad, but I can master it with just one glance."

Li Hao raised an eyebrow. The Origin Fifth Level the Fire Dao Origin Immortal Lord Realm.

He remained calm and did not respond, simply continuing to enjoy his meal.

Hua Xueyao then used the Primal Chaos Divine Fire to cover the Ancient Demon's remains, skillfully Mastery the heat to roast each part until it turned bright red.

It must be said that she is extremely intelligent. Even though she had never Cooking before, she learned to cook quite well after watching Li Hao Cooking for a couple of seconds.

Soon, once the Ancient Demon was cooked, she casually cut it open, held it in front of her, and began to eat it slowly and deliberately.

However, as soon as she put it in her mouth, she frowned. The taste was unbearably fishy and foul, emitting a strong fishy smell.

She looked towards Li Hao and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten the seasoning.

"Excuse me, could I borrow your seasonings?"

Hua Xueyao frowned.

Li Hao swallowed a mouthful of Ancient Demon flesh and blood, and said calmly, "Half a piece for seasoning."

"You."

Hua Xueyao was furious; she knew the other party would make an exorbitant demand.

Hmph—she gritted her teeth inwardly, too lazy to pay any more attention to Li Hao, ignored her sense of taste, and ate it in large bites.

So what if it tastes bad? Enhancing her Primordial Spirit's power is the main thing... She searches for the remnants of Ancient Demon primarily to strengthen her Primordial Spirit.

Given yesterday's situation, she could hardly imagine searching through thousands of Ancient Demon Corpse.

To what extent should one's Primordial Spirit be elevated?

After watching thousands of pounds of flesh and blood devour her, she coldly turned her face and began to refine the flesh and blood within her body.

She discovered that the Ancient Demon flesh and blood she Cooking did not have the melt-in-your-mouth texture; she needed to manually refine it.

As she circulated her Immortal Power, her flesh and blood gradually decomposed within her body, but soon, when the decomposition reached a certain point,

It could no longer be broken down, and during this process, not a single trace of Primordial Spirit power leaked out and merged into the body.

What happened?

Ban Xueyao was surprised and suspicious. She closed her eyes again and carefully sensed it, but found that it was still the same.

Her expression changed slightly. Could it be because of the seasoning?

She knew that if simply roasting raw food and eating it could enhance Primordial Spirit, then over the countless Years, someone in the Ancient Demon Clan would surely have discovered this, causing a sensation.

"Um, I'll take your seasoning. Can I share a third with you?"

Ban Xueyao opened her eyes and saw Li Hao enjoying his meat. She gritted her teeth inwardly, but still managed a sweet smile on her face.

Li Hao replied nonchalantly, "Half, no discussion."

"You brat!" Fei Xue Yao clenched her fists, wishing she could pin him down on her lap and crush him.

Her chest heaved slightly, and she said coldly, "Fine!"

Seeing this, Li Hao casually tossed aside the excess seasoning he had ground earlier, saying, "This needs to be sprinkled during grilling so it can seep in, and it also needs to be marinated beforehand. You're already too late."

"Snort."

Ban Xueyao ignored it, simply poured the seasoning onto the freshly grilled meat, and then began to eat.

The seasoning flavor was only on the surface. Although it tasted somewhat sweet at first, there was still a strong fishy smell when chewing the meat. Her expression changed slightly, but she still forced herself to swallow it along with the seasoning.

After a while, she tried refining it again, but found that she had failed again.

Her face was pale, but she could only do as Li Hao said, taking out the other half of the Cooking bird and slowly marinating and grilling it.

For a long time.

When she tried to eat it again, she found that she had failed again.

But this time it didn't smell as fishy or foul.

What's going on? She was furious and glared at Li Hao through gritted teeth.

Li Hao had already eaten and drunk his fill. Seeing the other party's indignant expression, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly and say:

"Cooking isn't as simple as you think. If you want a good meal, with your current skills, wait another ten years."

Did you tamper with the seasoning?

Hua Xueyao couldn't help but ask.

She clearly did exactly what Li Hao said.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao rolled his eyes slightly and said, "If you have any doubts, then don't ask me to borrow anymore."

Also, give me the other half; this is for the seasoning.

Hua Xue Yao was furious, but since Li Hao had indeed tampered with things, there was nothing she could do.

Fortunately, Ancient Demon Corpse were everywhere, so they weren't exactly rare for her. She casually tossed the other half to Li Hao and said with a stern face:

"Can you help me make these into the way you would eat them?"

"It can't be done."

Li Hao shook his head. "You've already ruined this, wasting the ingredients. I can improve it a little, but the taste will be a bit worse."

I don't care about the taste, as long as it's easily absorbed.

Hua Xueyao, her face cold, directly pointed out Li Hao's secret, "Your Primordial Spirit has become so strong because of this, hasn't it?"

Li Hao raised an eyebrow, but didn't deny it. After all, the other party was enjoying his meal more, and he didn't believe that the other party would suddenly fly into a rage and say something about avenging their clan to deal with him.

Seeing Li Hao's Dark Dao agreement, Xue Yao thought to herself, "As expected," and remained silent, waiting for Li Hao to finish making the product.

Li Hao quickly finished Cooking for her, tossed the food to her, and said, "Try it again. Also, this is my processing fee."

He took half of the other person's drink and then took the other half.

Ban Xueyao was furious, but she still took the Roast Meat that Li Hao threw to her and started eating it.

The moment she tasted it, she felt a tremendous difference, incomparable to her own. Moreover, as soon as it entered her stomach, she felt a faint Primordial Spirit power spreading out, permeating her Primordial Spirit and nourishing her Divine Soul.

Her eyes lit up, but when she turned and saw Li Hao eating even more heartily, her good mood vanished instantly, and she said with a sullen face:

"Why is it that what you did was able to absorb the Primordial Spirit?"

"It's a matter of craftsmanship."

Li Hao said, "Your cooking skills are terrible."

"You even have the skill to do this?"

Hua Xueyao sneered contemptuously, convinced that Li Hao was behind it all.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a sharp gaze fall upon her.

Her expression changed slightly as she looked at Li Hao, only to see that the Human Race youth's gaze was more serious than ever before, carrying a sharp coldness as he spoke, word by word:

"Are you belittling Cooking? If you say that again, I won't Cooking anything for you anymore!"

Hua Xueyao was stunned, feeling a sense of absurdity, but she could sense that the young man in front of her was angry. The Anger in his eyes was like that of a Swordsman whose sword had been insulted.

"Is it necessary to be so serious?" she frowned, speaking with a hint of stubbornness.

Li Hao glanced at her, then turned away and said, "Don't underestimate anything, especially since you're enjoying the delicious Cooking right now. You shouldn't take it lightly!"

Hua Xueyao remained silent for a moment, but said nothing more.

In the following days, Li Hao either went out to search for Ancient Demon or Cooking Ancient Demon to cultivate.

Ban Xueyao, however, refused to believe in fate and borrowed Li Hao's seasonings to secretly learn Cooking, but ultimately all her attempts ended in failure.

Through her persistent efforts, and after she compromised, Li Hao raised the Cooking fee to 82 cents.

He is number eight, Hua Xueyao number two.

"You, you've gone too far!"

You can refuse.

"You!"

Hua Xueyao wished she could unleash her Immortal Power and force Li Hao to submit, but the lingering power of the Floating Slaughter Emperor Heart Pagoda that Li Hao had previously summoned still made her hesitant.

With Li Hao's Heavenly Talent, he must be a top Prodigy among Human Race, and perhaps he also possesses other protective treasures.

Moreover, she needs to use Li Hao to infiltrate the Human Race. Given her current identity, carrying that thing in the Ancient Demon Region would be even more dangerous.

Despite her persistent pleading, Li Hao remained unmoved, leaving Hua Xueyao with no choice but to give in.

She searched everywhere for the Ancient Demon Corpse, while Li Hao only took care of Cooking. After eating and drinking, they would cultivate, and after cultivating, they would continue Cooking and eating. Life was very pleasant.

Under the influence of the Primordial Spirit and flesh, Xue Yao's Primordial Spirit was also enhanced, at a speed even faster than when she cultivated on her own.

She considered herself a top Prodigy among the Ancient Demon, and the Ancient Demon's forte, the Primordial Spirit, allowed them to cultivate at a speed far exceeding that of other royal families at the same level. However, compared to this almost abnormal method of improving through eating, she still felt inferior.

Although Li Hao obtained most of it, as long as she retrieved enough Ancient Demon remnants, her daily growth rate of Primordial Spirit had already surpassed her own cultivation by several levels.

In this way, she could barely accept it, but seeing that Li Hao had improved more than her...

I couldn't help but feel a little itchy inside.

Two months Past in the blink of an eye.
