Chapter 441: Chapter 441 Immortal Abode

The fish was ready, and Shi Hao first gave the fattest portion to Su Manman before he started eating himself.

After thinking about it, Su Manman couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Even this blockhead knew to give her the best part, which meant he cared about her in his heart, so why should she stay mad at him?

There was no helping it; this blockhead was just too wooden when it came to emotions, and needed to take things slowly.

She also began to eat, chewing slowly and gracefully.

Shi Hao wolfed down his food, and in no time, he had cleaned all the remaining fish while Su Manman had eaten less and was still eating after a while.

"Don’t move," Shi Hao suddenly extended his hand.

Su Manman was startled, only to see Shi Hao picking a tiny piece of fish meat from the side of her mouth, turning her pretty face red with embarrassment. As a lady of a noble family, how could she eat in such a messy manner?

Hmm, can’t waste it.

Shi Hao withdrew his finger and popped the tiny piece of fish into his mouth, for this fish could fully temper the body and improve one’s cultivation, making it extremely precious.

It was an unintentional gesture, but when Su Manman saw it, her face blushed as if it would drip water. Yet, her heart was also dripping with honey sweetness, like a little deer crashing around in chaos.

This adversary, making her heart in such a fluster!

That detestable guy, you could say he was understanding and tactful, but sometimes too foolish, but then his occasional behavior could melt her to the bone.

Really, stirring her heart so fiercely that she completely lost her bearings.

In a little while, Shi Hao felt his body heat up, a sign that the fish he had just eaten was taking effect.

He quickly sat down and, using Soul Power, started to guide and refine the vast Energy Essence within his body.

His physique, strength, and Soul Power all began to improve. Although the increase wasn’t large, it was still impressive from just one fish, and it was an all-around boost which was enough for now.

After half an hour, Shi Hao had completely refined the Energy Essence within his body.

He looked over at Su Manman, only to find her idly playing with water using a twig.

"Eh, don’t you need to refine it?" he asked.

"My physique has long surpassed such energy, so, it’s of no benefit to me," Su Manman said indifferently.

Shi Hao thought this was the most pretentious thing he had ever heard.

But he had no words to refute it.

A rich young lady who could casually produce an Imperial Fire Pill had an unknown and presumably vast background; definitely, since childhood, she must have received countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, tempering her body to perfection.

He was no match for her and could only face her scorn.

Shi Hao sighed and decisively avoided this topic with Su Manman, so as not to get hit hard by it.

Soon after, Shi Hao spotted another fish and repeated the trick, capturing it.

Currently, neither he nor Su Manman was hungry, so he threw the fish directly into the Black Spirit Ring.

"A Spatial Spirit Tool cannot contain living things, and this kind of fish will lose its Energy Essence rapidly upon death, so, Miss suggests you better eat it immediately," Su Manman said on the side.

Shi Hao patted his stomach; he had eaten earlier and didn’t have such a big appetite.

What to do?

Shi Hao took the fish out, then started running the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture, only to find it couldn’t extract the energy from the fish’s body.

Looking at the lively fish, an idea struck Shi Hao. Was the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture unable to plunder energy from a living creature?

— Because the fish had just been placed in the Black Spirit Ring and was taken out again, it hadn’t died just yet.

Shi Hao killed the fish and then circulated the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture, allowing him to easily extract the energy from within the fish, fully replenishing his vitality.

Comfortable.

He nodded to himself, the creator of this cultivation technique must not have been a merciless person, otherwise, they could have forcefully plundered the energy from living beings— "If you’re weaker than me, then I can plunder you by force." However, the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture only absorbed energy from non-living sources, which indicated the creator’s goodness.

"Hmm, your cultivation technique is quite interesting, it can directly plunder the energy essence," Su Manman said with some surprise.

She could actually notice it!

Shi Hao smiled, "How about that, I’m pretty impressive, right?"

"Hmm, somewhat impressive, but not unique throughout the ages," Su Manman assessed.

"Hey, do you really need to put me down like that?" Shi Hao joked.

Su Manman shook her head, "In the future when you enter a broader universe, you’ll realize how shallow your knowledge once was."

Shi Hao didn’t refute her because Yunding Star was just one star among the vast Universe, and in the entire cosmos, stars like this were beyond number. In such a grand world, there undoubtedly were more impressive cultivation techniques than the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.

Soon, daylight gave way, and the whole world suddenly became dark.

Shi Hao started a fire and prepared dinner, while Su Manman straightaway materialized an opulent mansion.

Shi Hao had seen Xia Mengyin store buildings within a Spatial Spirit Tool, which employed shrinking runes; however, compared to that, Su Manman’s courtyard could be considered luxurious. Glancing from the doorway, there even appeared to be rockeries and ponds inside, with goldfish swimming.

Wait a minute, living creatures?

Shi Hao looked at Su Manman in astonishment, "Didn’t you say living things couldn’t be kept in a Spatial Spirit Tool?"

Su Manman rolled her eyes, "Who told you that my Immortal Abode was stored inside a Spatial Spirit Tool?"

"Then where is it?" Shi Hao inquired.

His eyes sparkled. How many things could this courtyard contain? And it could even accommodate living creatures, which was simply too wonderful.

Imagine, if he entered and the courtyard could shrink, then wouldn’t he seem to disappear into thin air?

How practical was that feature?

"Silly, this is called an Immortal Abode!" Su Manman glanced at him, "Only an Immortal Abode can carve out a small world of its own and keep living beings."

"Is there another one, how about giving me one?" Shi Hao asked with an expectant look, truly finding it to be a great item.

Su Manman rolled her eyes again, "Do you know how precious these things are?"

"I know, I know," Shi Hao nodded repeatedly.

"You don’t know!" Su Manman huffed, "I only have this one Immortal Abode, and it took a long time of pleading with my father before I got it."

Alas, only one set.

Shi Hao spread his hands in resignation, knowing a gentleman shouldn’t covet what others admire.

Upon entering the courtyard, Shi Hao discovered it was not merely a matter of housing living things; the Power of Heaven and Earth here was incredibly dense, making all his pores open up as he desperately absorbed it.

Su Manman took him around for a tour, and the annex wasn’t small at all. It had pavilions and halls, and all the rooms together must have numbered over twenty.

"You’re really living lavishly," Shi Hao commented in earnest.

Su Manman, with complete trust in him, explained, "This isn’t just a movable dwelling; it also has a powerful defense feature. As long as I don’t open the door, even... Heaven Building Ladder cultivators wouldn’t be able to get in."

Really? Could it be true?

Shi Hao found it hard to believe that a Spiritual Artifact created by a Heaven Building Ladder cultivator could prevent another of the same level from entering?
