Mountain of Zhou.
More than a thousand meters away from the Village of Green Breeze.
Inside the forest.
After cooking and eating a portion of the deer meat, Drake entered the old house satisfied. Even though there were only a few spices in the dish, just the meat of the Qi Foundation beast was delicious, enough to take the dish to another level.
Upon entering he saw David, Roy, and the other two men lock their gaze on him. Their face has varied expressions from envy, defeat, and betrayed.
'Genius is genius after all, even at cooking he has great talent. Isn't this unfair?' Roy thought then he looked at the charcoal beast meat in his hand.
Compared to the smell of the food Drake makes, the charcoal beast meat in his hand is just... could not be compared.
In short, it couldn't eaten after all!!
Well, he isn't alone, all the four of them thought the same thing.
Sigh.
"Drake, is there anything left over from what you cooked? if yes, we would like to buy it," David asks hesitantly.
Upon hearing David's inquiry, Drake's eyes twinkled.
"There is not much left, but if you want I can cook.
"However, I want a pill similar to the pill that you fed the man," he demanded. If he could only get one of those pills, the risk of him hunting in the forest would be greatly reduced.
When they heard Drake's demand their face turned ugly. Even though the medicine David used is only a Grade one high stage pill, every one of these medicines could easily cost a whole 5th Body Reinforcement realm beast, not to mention that they are currently inside the dangerous forest if something happened and one of them becomes injured they can only rely on the pills to survive.
"This..." David wanted to refuse Drake's demand but Khael stopped him.
Khael pats David's shoulder before turning to Drake.
In truth, their current cultivation allows them to survive a week without eating food. However, unfortunately, they had just finished fighting the whole morning and their energy was almost depleted.
In order to regain the energy they consume, they need nutritious food and Beast is perfect for regaining energy. However, the food they cook is just...is just.
Sigh.
"We could not give you medicine presently because we only brought a few and we also need it. However, I promise you that we will pay you two times if we get back to the village." Khael promised.
"Then what if you go back from your words?" Drake retorted.
Hearing those words, Khael thought deeply, after a second of pondering, he reached his left hand in the pocket from his waist revealing a sharp dagger, and tossed it at Drake.
"That dagger is worth five times the medicine that David fed the man, when I reach the village I will give you the pill before getting the dagger back."
Drake heard Khael and began to study the blade.
The Dagger shone in a cold light, the sharpness of the blade was quite commendable if it had been used by Drake earlier in the morning he had been sure that he could fight the hound one-on-one without any problem.
In addition, the appearance of the blade is quite normal which Drake likes the most.
He believes that a weapon with a good appearance is useless if you can't use it...well it is also true for normal weapons but it is not eye-catching compared to a weapon with a good appearance.
...
'System I will receive the Body Reinforcement pills,' he said to his mind then looked at Khael.
"Deal however I also want to buy a sword comparable to this blade, a single hand sword will suffice."
With that, he reached his hand inside his tattered clothes and brought out a small bottle, inside were the 5 pills of the Body Reinforcement.
Drake opened the bottle and gets one of the pills and tosses it to Khael.
"That pill is a top grade Body Reinforcement pill if consumed it will boost cultivating at Body Reinforcement realm by 10 times for a day."
"This..." Khael sucked a cold air upon hearing Drake's words. Looking at the pill in his hand, he could feel the rich spirit qi inside the pill just by holding it. If he is not wrong, a pill at this level is only available at the sect.
In their Village, only a low level of these pills is accessible, and those pills could only increase the cultivation speed of a Body Reinforcement realm by 2-3 times of the speed!
If his father, one of the elders and the currently best pill maker in the village luckily makes the middle grade or high grade pills, the pill will immediately go to the village treasury and will only be available to the elders and people who make great contributions in the village or people who have good talent.
Even he, the son only receives five middle grades pills per month and it is because his talent is top notch in the village.
"This, this is too much. A pill of these grades could easily get 25 of the dagger." Khael said hesitantly, though he could lie to Drake and get the pill, he decided to tell the truth.
He didn't know if Drake's master was currently eavesdropping. If they accidentally incurred the wrath of Drake's master by deceiving him would not they suffer?
"Of course, I'm aware. But, don't worry my master gives me 10 of these pills per month." Drake reassured them. Though he lied to them he didn't care since sometimes lies can give protection.
"So much!?" The four of them blurted out, however, on second thought, they found it reasonable. since Drake's talent is top notch.
"Then if that is the case we will accept your request."
Khael accepts and hides the pill on one of his bottles, he plans to give the pill to his father to study. if his father manages to learn something from this pill it will greatly increase his father's comprehension of pill making and if that happens the purity and effectiveness of the pill his father produced will naturally increase.
...
After seeing that Khael accepted the pill, David hand the sword of the injured man to Drake which was comparable to the blade Khael gave.
When Drake receives the sword, he immediately started to cook. The meat he uses in his cooking is from their beasts.
