It had only been around 10 minutes before they were quickly approaching Bing Meifeng's residence. During that short time Tie Zhu managed to get a rough understanding about the cultivation background on Earth however there were still many unanswered questions. This was partly die to the time limitation, however a large part was also due to Bing Meifeng's lack of knowledge on the topic. Although she had a basic grasp on the background of cultivation, there were still many hidden factions and secrets that she was unaware of.
From his understanding, the cultivation ranks were similar to the ones that Wang Yazhu had described earlier, however it seemed that the limit for cultivation was only the Nascent Soul realm, which in itself was so rare that only the leaders of the four largest hidden sects were able to reach it. It could even be said that if one reached that stage, they could effortlessly wipe out an enite city with just a thought. Because of this all of the four major sects made an agreement to act against anyone who would do such a thing and had actually formed a secret organisation together that worked with the government to control cultivation related crimes.
This secret organisation was called the Golden Phoenix and while some of their members had actually come from the sects themselves, the majority of its members were recruited from outside. Those who performed well would even be given chances to become inner sect disciples, giving them better access to more resources which was the main reason that people willingly joined.
Bing Meifeng even mentioned that she had heard that the some of the major sects actually had their own separate pocket dimensions that could transport them to different worlds, which was why they had more access to cultivation resources. Although she mentioned that this was only a rumor she had heard of.
"GRRRRRRRRR!" While Tie Zhu was trying to imprint everything he had learnt in his mind while focusing on the road, his stomach suddenly growled loudly. Because so much had happened in such a short time he had forgotten that he actually did not have anything to eat for over a day and a half!
His stomach was completely empty and he could feel it rumble ferociously. Reminded of his hunger, Tie Zhu felt that he could even eat an entire cow by himself.
When Bing Meifeng heard Tie Zhu's stomach growl, she too was reminded that she did not have anything to eat in a while. Although her cultivation was at the 9th step of Qi Condensation, she still required food to maintain nutrition. Although she could go longer than ordinary people without food, it would only be at the Foundation Establishment realm that the body could go without food entirely
"Were almost at my place, you can come in if you want. There should be some food inside for you to eat. " she said after she noticed that they were both hungry. "Just turn left right here and follow the road until you reach the gates to that residential apartment, there shouldn't be anyone at home so you don't have to worry. " She said while pointing to a high end residential apartment. In fact, the place where she directed Tie Zhu to was not the main villa located near the lake, but another property that her parents owned.
She did not want to raise any unwanted attention to herself at home because she did not come home last night. Furthermore she was currently dressed in extremely precious robes that she planned on hiding as well as the fact that she was still feeling a sharp burning pain in between her legs. With her mother's sharp eyes she was afraid that she might be discovered, so taking into account everything she decided to go to the apartment instead.
Although Tie Zhu was somewhat hesitant to agree at first he did not have too much reason to doubt Bing Meifeng, furthermore he could use this time to ask her more questions. With his stomach growling in pain he eventually agreed, before turning up to the gates that automatically opened up upon seeing Bing Meifeng's car. After being instructed on how to park the car, they both made their way into the elevators where Bing Meifeng pressed the button to the top floor.
When Bing Meifeng unlocked the door to the penthouse apartment, Tie Zhu was taken aback once again. The inside design could be said to me a mix between modern elegance and extravagance with its marble flooring, luxurious furniture and breathtaking views.
"The kitchen is just to your right, feel free to cook or eat whatever you want. I'm going to take another shower, I'll be back in 15 minutes" Bing Meifeng said after taking her shoes off, while she noticed Tie Zhu eyes darting around the apartment.
Seeing that Bing Meifeng had already disappeared, Tie Zhu hurriedly made his way to the kitchen. After searching the cupboards and fridge the only food he actually found were instant noodles and some eggs! Because everything else was at such a high standard he had almost expected her pantry to be just as wonderful, however he was strongly disappointed. "I guess this will have to do." he sighed before turning on the kettle to boil some water.
Although he didn't mind instant noodles his expectations were just too high. He wasn't sure if the noodles would be enough for him and Bing Meifeng as he assumed that she would be hungry too. While he waited for the kettle to boil, he also fired up the stove to fry some eggs. Luckily, there was still some salt and pepper in the pantry. Just as he was about to finish up, he suddenly remembered that he had seen mountains of fresh meat and countless other exotic foods in his spatial stone.
Although he was not sure what the origins of such foods were his hunger and cravings right now were just too strong. Furthermore, he had guessed that if Wang Yazhu had actually bothered to store such foods it must have been because he must have enjoyed them because from what understood, Wang Yazhu cultivation would be high enough to not ever need food.
After infusing his spiritual energy into the stone, he immediately directed his mind to the huge mountains of food, trying to decide which one to try. Previously because he was searching for other things he did not look carefully at the huge variety of exotic foods, however upon closer inspection his mind was blown away. Nothing here was ordinary at all as they all gave off extremely intoxicating aromas. There were even raw meats and carcasses that gave off extremely unique appearances. He saw what appeared to be some form of crab, however it was actually over 5 meters in length and its entire shell was covered almost completely in precious looking gems.
He had even seen some golden colored eggs the size of a fully grown human, and entire carcasses of dragon like creatures. As he was casting mind around he suddenly noticed a smaller portion of meat that was already cut into steak like pieces that had a lot of intramuscular fat that it looked similar to the famous Japanese A5 wagyu. However the fat in this steak was actually glowing, where it pulsated different shades of yellow as if it were still alive. But of everything he had seen so far this was probably one of the more manageable things to cook, so without a second thought he withdrew two cuts of it as his saliva almost drooled out of his mouth in anticipation.
