Chapter 329 - Heaven Refining Physique

The following morning, Meixiu logged into the game after feeding Yuan breakfast, and she relayed to them Yuanʼs situation.

”As expected of the Young Master… Willingly helping these people even though theyʼre up against demons…” Fang Yuxiang sighed with a look of admiration on her face.

Even if she was in her phoenix form and with all of her powers, she wouldnʼt dare to fight demons unless it was absolutely necessary.

”Tell Brother Yuan to not push himself too hard when you get the chance,” Xiao Hua said to Meixiu.

”I understand.”

Meanwhile, inside the Mystic Realm, Yuan went to visit the faceless statue again.

”Just who are you…?” He mumbled as he stared at the statue with a dazed look on his face.

Sometime later, Lan Yingying approached him and said, ”Yuan, my grandfather has returned.”

”Hm? Already? That was fast.”

The two of them returned to the cabin a few minutes later.

”Hey, young man, I have returned.” Grandpa Lan said to Yuan as he extended his hand with a leather pouch in his grasp.

”I have hunted every magical beast in the Divine Forest. Although there werenʼt many magical beasts in the first place, I have managed to obtain a couple of monster cores for you.”

”Thank you very much!” Yuan accepted the leather pouch with a wide smile on his face.

”Yingying, I saved their corpses for you.” Grandpa Lan then handed a spatial ring to her.

”Thank you, grandfather.”

”Donʼt mention it. The two of us have reached our limits so it wonʼt do us any good. However, this is also the same for those demons. Therefore, we should focus on the two of you, who can still grow.” Grandpa Lan said to them.

”Iʼm going to consume them in a bit.” Lan Yingying said.

”What about you, young man? There may not be many monster cores inside, but you wonʼt be able to absorb all of them in two weeks. Go ahead— take a look inside.”

Yuan nodded and opened the storage pouch, and 3 monster cores fell onto his palms.

”Two Spirit Master monster cores and one at the Spirit Grandmaster level.” Grandpa Lan said.

”Wow, this is much better than Iʼd expected! Once again, thanks!”

”Hahaha… You can thank me by mating with Yingying…” Grandpa Lan said, not giving up on this matter just yet.

Sometime later, Lan Yingying went outside so that she could consume the magical beasts her grandfather brought back.

And to Yuanʼs surprise, over three hundred magical beastsʼ corpses piled up in front of the cabin, surpassing the previous mountain by at least three folds.

It took over three hundred magical beasts to obtain 3 monster cores? Yuan dreaded how many heʼd need to kill in order to obtain one in the future as he grows stronger since itʼll only get harder to obtain them.

While Lan Yingying consumed the magical beasts, Yuan tilted his mask and prepared to swallow the monster cores.

Grandpa Lan expressed great shock after seeing what he was trying to do, and he quickly exclaimed, ”What do you think youʼre doing?! Donʼt tell me you got the urge to eat monster cores after witnessing Yingying eat the magical beasts, right?! Youʼll die!”

”Eh?” Lan Yingying stopped eating to see what the commotion was about.

”Young man, humans cannot consume monster cores. Even magical beasts cannot do it. Yingying is a little bit special because of her unique bloodline as a Divine Beast, and even she gets stomachaches from swallowing them.” Grandma Lan shook her head.

”Itʼs okay,” said Yuan in a calm voice, and he continued, ”I also have a special physique, and it allows me to consume monster cores.”

Lan Yingying and her grandparentsʼ jaw dropped from shock after hearing his words. Can he really eat monster cores? What kind of heaven-defying physique does he have?

”Here, let me show you…”

Yuan said as he tossed one of the Spirit Master monster cores into his mouth, swallowing the tiny amount of sweet liquid left behind afterward.

”Whooo…” Yuan released a deep breath after consuming the monster core.

”See? I am perfectly fine,” he said to them afterward.

However, there was no response from the grandparents or Lan Yingying, as they all stared at him with a gawking expression on their faces.

They always thought Yuan to be a human being, but after witnessing him consume monster cores and breakthrough multiple realms as easy as breathing, they began to doubt whether he was really human or not. Hell, they wouldnʼt doubt it even if Yuan suddenly revealed to them that he was a Divine Beast this entire time.

”Y-Young man… If you donʼt mind me asking, what kind of physique do you have?” Grandpa Lan asked him in a trembling voice.

Yuan nodded and said, ”Heaven Refining Physique.”

He didnʼt mind telling them since he trusted them.

”H-Heaven Refining Physique?! That legendary physique?!” Grandpa Lan unconsciously took a few steps back from shock.

”You know of my physique?” Yuan asked, his interest piqued.

After taking a deep breath, Grandpa Lan nodded and said, ”The Heaven Refining Physique is one of the most mythical physiques to ever exist, and if I remember correctly, the founder of the Demon Sealing Clan had this physique…”

”The founder?” Yuan raised his eyebrows. ”How long ago are we talking about?”

”Many millions of years ago, I guess…” Grandpa Lan said, and he continued, ”The founder of the Demon Sealing Clan was also rumored to eat demon cores, but nobody has ever confirmed it…”
