Chapter 235 Spiritual Beast And Spiritual Plants
"No. When it comes to the taste, this fried chicken is top tier. However, when it comes to natural flavors, foods that have Heavenly Energy are way more flavorful, if you get what I mean?"
"Don't get me wrong. It's not that food like that is not rare. Even in top tier cities, such foods would still cost sky-high prices due to how rare they are. After all, aside from tasting good, such food could also help the cultivators with their cultivation."
Hearing that, Roland's interests were even more piqued. The main reason why he wanted to meet Carrol this time was precisely to ask about Heaven Energy and how cultivators would usually cultivate. Immediately, Roland's interest was piqued regarding these foods that can allow the cultivators to cultivate.
"What kind of foods are these exactly?" He asked.
"There are many kinds actually. But the most common are Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Beasts. There are also animals that are reared to have Heavenly Energy, and of course, they are priced sky-high and they are always in demand. In fact, I was only lucky to eat a reared pig that has Heavenly Energy one time, and I'm telling you, the taste is superb and no mortal food could compare to it at all."
"Then? How much did such food cost and how much was the increase in strength after you ate it?" Roland asked curiously.
"As for the cost, I can't estimate the exact amount. However, my boss, Stacey's father, bought the whole meat for at least ten million global dollars before it was shared by us cultivators under him. Mind you, each of us was only able to get two to three bites, and it was only an ordinary reared spiritual boar meat so the effect towards our cultivation was not that great. However, the experience could not be quantified at all. As for the effect, well, it was minimal for our level but what was important was the experience so it was definitely worth it." Carrol explained.
Hearing the numbers, Roland could not help but flinch back. He thought for a moment and estimated that his overall wealth at this moment was only around six million global dollars, meaning that he could not even afford a single whole meat of food that has Heavenly Energy with it.
Nevertheless, he was still interested in these kinds of foods that contain Heavenly Energy.
"These foods… How can we obtain them?"
Carrol shrugged her shoulders upon hearing his questions.
"It depends. Reared spiritual beasts like the pig that I have tasted can be obtained easily as long as you have the money and right connection. Of course, these kinds of spiritual beasts definitely could not compare to the wild ones."
"Wild spiritual beasts?"
"Yes. They are rarely seen and have violent temperaments. These kinds of spiritual beasts could only be chanced upon like wild spiritual plants. Of course, compared to the reared one, they are more abundant in Heavenly Energy and they are more tasty and flavorful as well. Their price is, of course, countless times higher compared to the reared one as they could not be obtained easily and hunting them also contains danger that cultivators won't be able to ignore."
Roland nodded his head in understanding as Carrol explained. He somehow understood now what she meant by these spiritual plants and spiritual beasts.
In short. Spiritual Beasts and Spiritual Plants were plants and animals that had somehow managed to obtain Heavenly Energy. Like how cultivators had Heavenly Energy while normal humans don't.
From the Level 2 Botanist Knowledge that he acquired, Roland guessed that the Spiritual Plants should be the ones that he had seen in the knowledge database with Magical properties like the Tear Grass in Tear Island. bender
The Spiritual Beasts should also be the Purple Turtle that normally causes the mutation of the Cogon Grass into the Tear Grass.
According to Carrol, wild Spiritual Plants were as rare as wild Spiritual Beasts. She said that both of these two resources were always coveted by cultivators and others might even treat these as family treasures.
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm The Tear Grass also belongs to the Level 2 Botanist Knowledge. Roland guessed that although it was also a Spiritual Plant, the reason why it was not coveted by cultivators was due to its unique magical effect and the fact that it was just a normal grass that mutated due to the Purple Turtle's feces.
If the value of each Spiritual Plants were ranked, Rolang guessed that the Tear Grass probably ranked at the bottom of the list.
Carrol talked and explained as she ate. Roland listened intently, not intending to miss a single detail out of her mouth. This kind of knowledge was very important to him as even the System might not consist of such knowledge that has come from the experience of a person directly.
According to her, if Roland really wanted to eat a food that has Heaven Energy, then he should just go to White Tiger Nation and participate in auctions that might have some batches available. Although it won't be easy, at least, he has a clear direction on where to find such foods now.
The conversation was already fruitful and Roland has already obtained a lot of free information. Not to mention, he had not even asked the main topic yet.
Knowing that the time was ripe, Roland no longer hesitated and immediately asked the question that he had been dying to know the answer of.
"You mentioned before about this place being a barren one, and a place that doesn't have any Heavenly Energy. Does this mean that other places, like for example, the White Tiger Nation, have Heavenly Energy all day round?"
Even Razor looked down on this place devoid of any Heavenly Energy. Although he was not clear, Roland still somehow saw the regret in Razor's eyes when he accepted the mission of being sent here.
For cultivators who rely on Heavenly Energy, this place must have been a hell of a place for Razor and Carrol.
