Hou Niao's injuries healed remarkably quickly, a consequence of the nature of the wounds he had sustained.
Three days later, he was moving about freely and did not need to spend much time meditating or lying in bed to recover. He was currently at a stage between Mortals and the extraordinary, still clinging to many mortal habits, such as eating and drinking heartily.
He needed energy now, and his demand was significant. It would peak before he reached the Grain Avoidance Realm, and then, the fasting would self-seal.
After more than two months of cultivation, he could distinctly feel a drastic change in his appetite; it was as if his stomach was a black hole that could never be filled, no matter how much food was put into it. This was painful in West Mang Mountain because the food in the Treasure Gourd barely allowed him to indulge. Now that he had arrived at Yinyue Castle, he found an environment where he could feast to his heart's content.
