Chapter 98 - 98: Plans To Cooperate With Golden Alpaca Tribe.
At the foot of the mountain, a large number of Alpacas were gathered and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
In the middle of the whole group Robert, Snowball, Yota and Old Alpaca were sitting.
Besides them is Rion who just woke up at this moment he was looking at Robert and his grandpa suspiciously.
"Grandpa, I remember that three of us were sent flying in the air and then we crashed on the ground…"
Before he could finish, Old Alpaca opened his mouth and said with irritation, "Shut up! don't spout nonsense. How can we fly? We are not birds. After catching the fish you came back and I invited you to drink but who knew that you would empty the whole barrel."
He is feeling extremely annoyed now. Previously he was sent flying by Celli. He is a Nascent Soul Realm Master and he was sent flying by a Foundation Realm junior?
If this event is known to others he reputation would be ruined. It's good that no one was present at that time and because of the impact, Rion seemed to have forgotten the previous events.
As for Robert, he is in the same ship as him.
"Yes, Brother Rion at that time you were drunk and created a ruckus causing trouble for everyone. Look over there that ground is destroyed by you. It's good that seniors stopped you promptly otherwise.." Robert agreed with Old Alpaca. It's nothing to do with some pride or whatever.
It's just that Celli created such a ruckus and caused so much trouble so to compensate he decided to cooperate with this old senior.
"Is that so…" Rion still has a confused face but he more or less believed this reason after all he only remembers that he entered his grandma cave and then he did not remember anything.
"Humph, don't think about this anymore. Bring out those fishes and entertain our guests. Too bad we don't have wine…" Old Alpaca said to others and everyone hurriedly left to prepare.
He still felt pain in his heart just thinking about the barrel of wine that Celli emptied previously.
But he did not hold any grudge as this is just an accident and he took out that barrel of wine to treat these guys for saving Yota.
So everything is alright.
Soon a few alpacas were back with some fishes on their backs.
Each fish is two to three metres long and their number reached 12.
Robert looked at the fishes and saw that each one of them was excluding the aura of Foundation Realm.
'Too bad I can not upgrade my cultivation. I need to accumulate energy points now as there is one new opportunity for evolution.' Robert thought to himself. Previously he asked the system and knew that he could evolve once again.
As he is at Peak of Foundation Realm. On top of that, he has one more opportunity to get an innate talent which was rewarded by the system previously he had not used that chance till today.
It's not that he didn't want to use it but he never got good auxiliary material.
Auxiliary materials are the materials that are used during evolution. The Auxiliary material can to a certain extent determine the nature of the power of the innate talent unlocked.
For example, in Python's stomach he ate Magma Jade and as a result, he unlocked Hell Furnace.
He intends to get some similar innate talent that can accompany him in the long run.
Therefore he needs good auxiliary material for this chance. Previously he wanted to use this opportunity to get an innate talent related to defence.
But after practising Primogenial Body Art he changed his mind. His defence is already good so he can use that chance for something else.
Like Speed which is his weak point.
Anyway, he would do this later now he should focus on the food in front of him.
After bringing the fishes the alpaca didn't stop as they continued to bring other things.
Various types of spiritual fruit were piled up near them.
All of them are Mortal level spiritual herbs. Robert felt amazed seeing so many treasures gathered in one place.
The Golden Alpaca tribe has a good accumulation of treasures.
Seeing others' eager look, Old Alpaca smiled amicably and said "Don't be shy, eat as much as you like, there is more to come."
Hearing him, greedy duo Snowball and Yota burst into action as they dived into the pile of fruits.
Robert was not like them; he casually took some fruit and started eating.
While eating Robert talked with Old Alpaca, "Senior, how can you find so many spiritual fruits? Aren't they rare?"
"These fruits are not as rare as you think. In the inner forest, there are many places where these fruits grow though most of them are occupied by some strong beast or tribe. Our Golden Alpaca tribe has also occupied some places so we have a steady supply of these spiritual fruits." The Old Alpaca said.
Seeing Robert's serious look he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so concerned about this? These Mortal Level spiritual fruits limited effect on the three of you."
Robert smiled wryly and said, "Senior under me there are a large number of people who need these resources…"
Saying this he explained about the power under him to Old Alpaca. There are two reasons.
First, He wants to befriend the Golden Alpaca tribe as they are stronger than the Tootie restaurant. Having a strong ally is always good.
The second reason why he is telling him this is because of their ability to catch fish.
These fishes in front of him are hunted by Rion recently and in a short time. So he reckoned that they have experience in fishing. In this aspect, he wanted to cooperate with their tribe.
It would be good if they can provide a Taotie restaurant with fish.
On top of that, the Golden Alpaca tribe has existed and lived near the Lynx tribe for a long time so they have more knowledge and experience about this field.
Hearing Robert The Old Alpaca was a little amazed. At first, he thought that the three of them must be good friends who work together. Who knew that they had established their force.
And their strength is not weak. More than Six Foundation Realm spiritual beasts and one Core Formation realm spiritual beasts.
Although it cannot be compared to their Golden Alpaca tribe it is still a good force considering they built it from scratch.
The Old Alpaca liked three of them even more. It's not easy to build and maintain a force, he knows that.
"You are doing a good job. Young people should have the courage to do new things. In future, if you need any help then you can ask me." The Old Alpaca said. He has a very good impression of Robert as he saved Yota so he did not mind helping him.
It can be considered as repaying the favour and he is quite optimistic about them. He can see Robert's cultivation at the peak of Foundation Realm; it won't be long before he can enter the Core Formation realm.
Of Course, the prerequisite is that he has collected the materials needed for the breakthrough.
But knowing that there is a Core Formation Realm Expert behind him the materials should now be a problem.
Hearing the Old Alpaca Robert was happy, the purpose had been achieved.
"Thank you for your help senior. If you have time then you must pay a visit to Taotie Restaurant." Robert did not rush to talk about fish and Spiritual fruits.
There is no way one would agree to give fish and others resources without getting anything in return.
Only if he can provide something in return that they would exchange resources with Taotie restaurant.
As for what he would use for exchange? Haha, he has a perfect exchange item in his mind.
"It's nothing." The Old Alpaca smiled and said.
"Uncle Robert, I heard from snowball that you can cook a lot of delicious food? Can you make some for Yota?" Yota walked near Robert and asked with hopeful eyes.
"Not only that, Roberts Food can help in cultivation." Snowball jumped out and said. Hearing this Rion was sceptical as he asked with a doubt, "Is that true brother Robert? Can it help in cultivation? It doesn't sound reliable."
Hearing this Old Alpaca was surprised too.
Generally, Spiritual Beasts did not bother to cook meat and prefer to eat raw. In exception, some would simply bake it on fire and it.
Although the basked food is good it cannot be helpful in cultivation as Snowball said.
"Is that true?" The Old Alpaca looked at Robert and asked curiously. Just like Rion was also sceptical about this. As the spiritual essence of Spiritual herbs and meat are lost during the baking process.
That's why most Spiritual beasts eat it raw and do not cook it as it's not worth it.
Robert gave Snowball a thumbs-up in his heart. If a Taotie restaurant needs to work with the Golden Alpaca tribe then they need to have some ability otherwise it would not work.
And cooking food is their speciality! So this is a perfect opportunity to show their capability.
Seeing their sceptical and eager gaze Robert smiled confidently and said, "Of course it's true.. If seniors want, then I will cook some food for you."
