Chapter 130 - 130: Spirit Pool.

"What do you mean?" Robert faintly remembered about this Marshal Crocodile. When he first met Bird Emperor and others they talked about this guy.

He said that the Marshal Crocodile always wanted to enter the Core Region of Dream Maple Forest so he recruited the troops.

"The whole Inner region is in chaos for some reason as strong ferocious beasts have started to invade and are wreaking havoc. So to cope up with the situation, Marshal Crocodile initiated an event." The Bird Emperor said seriously. The whole Inner Forest is in chaos as there are fights and scruffles everywhere. 

This is one of the reasons why he wanted to take shelter under the Taotie restaurant.

Robert nodded, The seal of Desolate Land is lifted and many hungry Desolate Beasts have entered the Outer Region which caused the native beasts to migrate in the inner region.

"What event?" Robert asked, Although he does not have much information about the Marshal Crocodile he knew that he should be a strong person as his one move can attract the attention of others.

"An Event to kill some Desolate beasts. I am not quite clear about this but this is the content of the event. After killing the Desolate Beasts a person can exchange its body for rewards. I heard that the reward is extremely generous as there are many rare herbs for a price like Blood Lily which can be used for bloodline awakening, Golden cocoon which can be used to heal serious injuries…" The Bird Emperor said this while there was longing in his tone.

Robert's heart moved after listening to Bird Emperor. What they lack currently is resources to upgrade cultivation although he can get a lot of spirit herbs by opening the Restaurant those herbs are not that useful for cultivation upgrade.

The herbs that he receives as payment are normal types of herbs. Although there is a lot of spiritual energy in it, it has no special properties which are helpful in cultivation.

Like the Blood Lily in Bird Emperor's mouth, although it does not contain a lot of spiritual energy, it has a special property of Bloodline Awakening.

He needs spiritual herbs like this which have special properties. If he can get these Spiritual herbs and plant them here and ask Overlord Turtle to speed up the growth then wouldn't it be possible to get special herbs in batches?

Just thinking about this made Robert's heart hot. He couldn't wait to try his ideas.

"Although the price is good, it's best not to step in this whirlpool until our strength has reached a certain level." In the end, Robert shook his head and decided not to take part in this event. At Least for some time.

"Yes Brother Robert, It's better to increase the strength before taking part in these dangerous events." The Bird Emperor nodded and agreed with Robert.

"But it's too bad that we don't have enough talent… Becoming strong is very difficult for us." From behind one of the juvenile Birds said in a dressed tone.

Hearing these other Corn Bunt birds also lowered their heads in depression. 

"What are you saying? Who said that talent represents everything? Look at me! I also had a weak talent and did not have hope to enter Foundation realm but look at me now, I am not far away from Foundation realm. So you guys should not give up and try every method possible to make yourself stronger. I believe one day you will be able to break out from these shackles of poor talent." Bird emperor looked back and said seriously.

He knew that the people of their race have very poor talent but that does not mean that they should give up. 

Robert looked at them and was silent. He used Identification skill and saw each of them only has D Level talent and with this talent it would be extremely difficult to enter the foundation realm.

But should they give up because of this? No! That's not a reason to give up. Although it's very difficult, it's not impossible. As long as there is a slight chance they should not give up. This is the mentality one should have.

And this problem is not without any solution, If they have the blood essence of high level spiritual beasts then it's possible to upgrade the talent.

And there is an awakening potion too with which special talents can be awakened but that need a lot of spiritual materials which is currently not available. 

Thinking about this his idea to plant spiritual herbs became more concrete as he decided to carry out the plan later.

"That's right, Although talent is important, it's not everything. Just give your best and strive to achieve the best." Thinking about this Robert also said a word of encouragement.

Everyone became a little spirited after hearing their encouraging words.

After saying a few more words Robert left to do other things. As he needs to plant spiritual herbs it's better to know the names and characteristics of important spiritual herbs.

So he wanted to meet Overlord Turtle afterall his cultivation base is high so he should have more knowledge about these things.

Overlord Turtle should be in Trial ground right now so Robert headed toward the Trial ground.

...

When Robert arrived at the trial ground there was no one inside. 

Robert looked at the glyph filled ground with helplessness. The Overlord Turtle should be in the Treasure room but to reach there he has to pass the gravity field.

He has to experience another wave of abuse in order to enter the Treasure room but he has no other choice as this is the only way to each Treasure room.

Thinking till here Robert stepped on the glyph filled ground but after stepping on the glyph filled ground Robert was stunned.

There was no pressure on his body and he can walk freely. Robert scratched his head in confusion after seeing this and he was somewhat anxious after seeing the situation.

Taotie restaurant only has only one Trial ground which is very important for its members as with it they can increase strength.

If it's broken then the loss cannot be calculated in mere numbers.

No! I have to ask Overlord Turtle about this. Robert thought about this and his footsteps became fast as he walked toward the Treasure room with an urgent look on his face.

After entering Robert saw a familiar dragon skeleton on top of his head but he did not pay any attention to it and moved inside trying to find the Overlord Turtle.

With the size of Overlord Turtle it was not difficult to find his position but looking at the situation Robert was startled.

He saw Overlord Turtle sleeping on the ground near the Purple Pond in the middle of the Treasure room.

Previously because of the colour of the pind Robert felt that it's poisonous so he didn't dare to get near it. At that time he did not have identification skill so he did not know about the origin of the pond.

So with.mush curiosity Robert used Identification skill on the Pond.

Name: Spirit Pool.

Function: Gathers Spiritual energy.

Robert was surprised to see the information. A spirit Pool? Gathering Spirit energy? So it's not poisonous?

Knowing that it's not poisonous Robert walked near the Pond without disturbing the Overlord Turtle.

"Ding… High level spiritual essence detected…"

Just as he was one meter away from the pond he heard a familiar system prompt. 

"What is the spiritual essence, System?" Robert asked in confusion.

"When a lot of spiritual essence is concentrated in one place it forms a spiritual essence. In analogy it's the liquid form of Spiritual energy."

"There are types in Spiritual essence too. Spiritual essence contains impurities too with Low Level Spiritual essence having the most impurities and Top level spiritual Essence having the least impurities." System solved Robert's doubt.

"So it's very precious?" Robert understood that this purple water is a very precious object.

"Very Precious! At least from the cultivation point of view. If you take a drop of High Level spiritual energy then you can get at least ten thousand energy points."

"But it's not advisable to consume it as there is a lot of violent energy in it which can cause the Host's body to explode."

Robert was moved when he heard that he can get lot of energy points but after knowing the consequences he dispelled the idea of consuming it.

"But if it can't be consumed, what is this guy doing?" Robert looked at the Overlord Turtle who was sleeping soundly on the ground unaware of his visit and wondered.

"He is absorbing the spiritual energy around the Spirit Pool and increasing his cultivation. The spiritual energy around the pool is of high grade too so it's very beneficial for cultivation."

Robert realised why the Overlord Turtle was sleeping here so he is increasing his cultivation….

Wait! Now I know why this guy helped him without asking anything in return because he is getting a lot of benefits already… 

And I even went as far as to provide him with Third Grade Spiritual Food.

Thinking about this Robert has a toothache… 

This guy has been here for two days who knows how much high level spiritual energy he has absorbed…

No! How can I suffer a loss like this? Its me who takes advantage of others, not the other way around.
