Chapter 65 - 65: Ninth Stage Of Foundation Realm!
Robert arrived at the back of the kitchen where there were two crude doors made up of wood and vines.
Behind it was an entrance that led to a different world…
Cough cough, just kidding here is the entrance of two caves. He opened the door on the left and entered the cave on the left where all the spiritual materials are stored along with Brine Spring.
Inside there are not many spiritual herbs except for the ones he collected and others are given by Molly and Buster this morning.
The whole place reserved for Spiritual herb is a bit deserted which made Robert distressed. He decided to post some missions to collect spiritual herbs.
Even if it's a low-level spiritual herb he is still willing to take it as long as the space is filled.
Except for this, there are many types of meat here especially of the enemies who want to create trouble in Taotie restaurant.
The meat of the Foundation realm beast can be preserved for a long time. Almost a week, Within this time he can, along with others, finish the meat.
He took all the meat and some Spiritual herbs, he was not worried about insufficient materials for cooking. He believes till night these resources should be replenished because of the mission released.
Robert wanted to start cultivating body art. At first, he was suspicious that this technique is fake just like the pill he got from the cave.
But after confirmation from the system, he knew that this is a correct and legit technique but there is one flaw.
That is, it's incomplete. This incomplete technique only tells the method to cultivate the three-body realm that is Blood cumulation, Body cleansing and Heart Refinement.
After three realms there is no further information in the book and he did not know where to find the rest of the cultivation manual.
After all, this world is vast and this thing belongs to humans so how can he find the rest?
Till now he has only seen one human being in this world that is the powerful swordsman that almost killed him that day.
Thinking of that nasty swordsman Robert clenched his teeth. He swore to take revenge against him because he saw him escape last time.
Knowing that person is alive is a hidden danger for them. After all, he was after White Fang wanting to kill him for some bounty.
Because of this, Robert realised that White Fang's identity is quite unusual. Before he did not ask about her situation now it appears that he needs to know about her identity to make preparation otherwise everyone will be in danger because of insufficient preparation.
Robert made another mental note about this and focused on his cultivation. He opened the system panel to see his cultivation.
Cultivation: Second layer of Foundation Realm(+)[2438/7000]
It needs a lot of time and experience to upgrade his cultivation.
But he has decided to upgrade his cultivation by at least three layers.
He calmly took out all the meat and placed them in front of him and took out a big purple fruit. It has the shape of an orange.
Purple Heart Fruit!
According to Molly, it's a High-grade Mortal herb with a lot of spiritual energy. This fruit is mainly used for cultivation upgrade by a spiritual beast of Qi Realm.
Initially, Molly prepared this for his breakthrough but later he did not use it but used it as payment for explosive soup.
He did this because the spiritual energy inside the purple heart fruit cannot support a breakthrough of the foundation realm.
So he would rather exchange it for Explosive soup that can help him in breakthroughs.
Although it's useless in Molly's hand it is not the same for Robert. He can extract maximum value from Heaven and Earth material by turning them into Spiritual food.
He only has two ingredients, one is a lot of meat and the other is Purpleheart fruit. No matter how one looks at it, the material is insufficient.
But Robert knew exactly what to make with these two ingredients.
A Skewer!
Yes, it's the best dish he can think of right now. Of course, the main reason is Robert is carving to eat skewers right now.
He placed a lot of meat in front of him on a wooden plate. He did not start with baking but wanted to prepare the meat.
He took out all the sources he currently has salt, pepper etc. Along with onion and garlic.
He coated the meat with salt and pepper and smeared it thoroughly. While coating the meat he applied his spiritual energy to it. He did this to simulate the dormant spiritual energy inside the meat. After all, the meat is not fresh.
After this, he took out a wooden stick and pierced the meat with it. He prepared five more skewers like this and placed them in a separate tray.
He did not stop her but continued to do this until his spiritual energy was emptied. His body was filled with sweat as he looked at the mountain of skewers in front of him and the remaining meat on the side.
"Damn so much meat is remaining…. How long will it take to use this on my own? Or should I eat it like this?.... No, that's a waste of precious meat. For now, I will use this, then when Slither and others come back I will let them make skewers and upgrade everyone's cultivation…" Robert thought while breathing heavily. He was exhausted this time by simulating the spiritual energy inside the meat.
Before he thought of turning all the meat into skewers and when others came back, to bake for them. But it looks like it's not possible now.
It's too much work for one person. He decided to eat the skewers he made right now to increase the cultivation than at night, he will help others upgrade their cultivation.
Well, that plan is feasible. Thinking of this Robert skilfully prepared the fire and started baking the meat.
Soon the smell of grilled meat spread inside the cave which made Robert droll. Seeing that the meat was ready he hurriedly opened his big mouth and started eating the skewers.
Skewers taste wonderful, especially when you know your meat marinade and meat appropriate spicing. Although he did not have many spices, the quality of the meat itself filled up the gap for the spices.
Crunchy outside and spicy and a bit juicy inside, the Meat itself is soft and its texture differs creating a wonderful sensation in his mouth.
This different texture is due to the usage of meat of different creatures. Robert ate the skewers with a huge smile on his face.
What is life? This is life!
Soon one skewer was finished but he smacked his lips in satisfaction.
Soon another skewer was ready and he continued to bake others while eating, Multitasking!
He started to eat skewers one after another without stopping. Soon ten minutes passed and the expected System prompt appeared in front of him.
"Ding… Extraction of Energy is completed.."
"Ding… Whether to convert it into Evolution Points Or Experience points?"
"Experience!" Robert answered immediately. Now he wanted to improve his cultivation.
"Ding! The host gets 160 Evolution points from the Food digested ...."
"Ding! The host gets 300 Evolution points from the Food digested ...."
"Ding! The host gets 450 Evolution points from the Food digested ...."
"Ding! The host gets 15 Evolution points from the Food digested ...."
"Ding….."
…..
One after another system prompt rang in his head. Seeing the amount of experience, Robert was satisfied. If it goes on like this then his target would be achieved today.
"Continue." Robert did not pay any further attention to the system prompt and started eating the skewers in front of him.
"Ding! You get 500 experience …"
"Ding! You get…"
"Ding! Your cultivation upgraded to the third level of the Foundation realm..." Robert raised his eyebrows in surprise. In just 20 minutes he achieved a breakthrough and he didn't even use one-tenth of the meat prepared.
This is a surprise!
"Ding! You got.."
"Ding! You got…"
Robert was annoyed hearing the system's notification again and again so he turned off the notification function and told the system to notify him only when his cultivation is upgraded.
"Ding! Your cultivation upgraded to the fourth level of the Foundation realm…"
After 30 or so minutes he heard a system prompt. For this level, it took longer than before but it's expected after all the amount of experience for the next realm increases every time he levels up.
"Ding! Your cultivation has been upgraded to fifth…"
Next, it took 35 minutes or so and the speed for the breakthrough was decreasing.
"Ding! Your cultivation had…"
40 minutes!
"Ding! Your cultivation had…"
1 hour!
"Ding! Your cultivation had…"
1 hour and 30 minutes!
"Ding! Your cultivation has been upgraded to the ninth level of the Foundation realm…"
2 hours!
After this, there was no more promotion because all the meat was gone but Robert was satisfied from the third level to the ninth level in one day it's enough for him.
Robert looked at the cultivation panel and sucked in a cold breath.
Cultivation: Ninth layer of Foundation Realm(+)[126/50000]
50,000 Experience points!
It's fucking huge amount! The next level is Core Formation Realm so he expected the experience for the upgrade to be huge but it's more than what he expected.
