Chapter 139 - 139: Consuming High-Grade Spiritual Essence.
"What do you mean White Fang? Can you explain it to me in detail?" Robert looked at White Fang seriously and said.
Previously he had guessed that White Fang\'s situation would be very complicated but it seems that the situation is more complicated than he thought initially.
White Fang\'s face became tangled after hearing Robert but in the end, she shook her head and said with a depressed tone, "Sorry! I have to ask Aunt about this. Without her permission, I cannot tell others about this."
She wanted to tell Robert about this but she needs Aunt Rosy\'s permission first.
Seeing that she is unwilling to talk about this, Robert did not press this matter any further, "Since Aunt Rosy has said not to use the talent then don\'t use it."
White Fang became anxious after hearing this and said, "No way! Let me heal you. As long as others don\'t see me using the talent then it\'s fine."
"No, listen to me first. Although these injuries look bad it\'s nothing to me. I can heal by myself, So you don\'t need to worry about my injury." Robert said seriously, At the system store a healing potion is for sale so he can use it to heal himself.
"No, don\'t lie to me! How can you heal by yourself? Let me heal it for you." White Fang said as she was ready to use her talent to help Robert recover from the injury.
"Stop! Stop! I am telling the truth, don\'t use your talent. If you want to help me then bring some meat from the restaurant. I will make some food to heal myself." Robert hurriedly stopped her. Since Aunt Rosy has forbidden her to use the talent then it\'s best not to use it before confirming the situation with her.
"Hmm Okay!" White Fang said unwillingly as he left the treasure room to get some meat for Robert. But in her heart, she has decided that if Robert could not heal himself then she would help him.
Seeing that White Fang left Robert breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
"Hiss!"
This little movement caused him pain. Robert frowned because of the pain.
"It\'s better to heal as soon as possible," Robert mumbled as he exchanged healing potions from System Store.
Soon a familiar package near his location. This time Robert was paying attention to his surroundings but he still did not perceive how the parcel arrived.
"Strange," Robert mumbled and opened the package in confusion. Seeing three bottles of Healing potion Robert was relieved.
At least his injuries can be healed now.
Opening the bottle he drank the whole potion.
After finishing the bottle he smacked his lips in satisfaction. After drinking the potions the injuries on his body started to recover at the speed that the naked eye can see.
At the same time, the Spiritual energy in his body started to disappear. With the help of Spiritual energy, a strange force started to repair his body.
Just after a few minutes, all the injuries on his body have disappeared and he has returned to his peak state.
"Now I have to recover my spiritual energy." Robert thought to himself as he looked at Spirit Poll in front of him.
Looking at the pure vapor around him Robert took a deep breath and sucked the vapor around him.
But after doing this his expression froze, "Damn isn\'t it the right way? Why have I not recovered my spiritual energy? Is there some sort of problem?"
After sucking the purple vapor around him Robert realized that he could not recover Spiritual energy with this method.
"Maybe I need two or three more breaths?" Robert mumbled as he became the incarnation of the vacuum machine and sucked the purple vapor around him madly.
After five minutes Robert sat on the ground with a frustrated expression.
"Damn! Isn\'t this the right way? Why have I not recovered my spiritual energy? Do I have to adopt the usual method?"
Robert said in frustration. During this time he sucked the vapor around the Spirit Pool but he realized that his spiritual energy could not be recovered by this method.
So he can only use the usual method to recover spiritual energy, which is to eat. For this, he has to wait for White Fang to bring materials here.
As there is no material here from which he can recover spiritual energy. After all eating, any object can give him energy points, not spiritual energy.
"Hmm, Let\'s wait then," Robert mumbled as he was about to sit on the ground but he saw the water inside the Spirit Pool and in this, an idea appeared in his head.
"Can I drink this water to recover spiritual energy?" Robert had this though. But he didn\'t know if it would work or not after all anything consumed can be converted into energy points.
"System, Can I drink this spiritual essence?" Robert asked the system expectantly. Previously the system mentioned that this thing is very violent and can cause him to explode.
"You can! But the best scenario would be that you are seriously injured and the worst-case scenario is that you will die by the explosion."
After hearing the system Robert\'s eyes lit up, Seriously injured? Does that mean there is a chance? And it\'s not sure death?
But injury would cause a lot of pain right? He has just recovered. Did he have to experience another self-abuse?
Thinking of this Robert hesitated as he felt that this idea is very risky.
But slowly his hesitation faded, replaced by strong determination and the look on his eyes became firm.
"Try it! It\'s just being injured and experiencing some pain! I can bear it. Anyway, I have two bottles of Healing Potion left." Robert said with determination. He wants to use this opportunity to get a lot of energy points.
Because of the disaster outside, a lot of work at the Taotie restaurant has been halted. Hunting and collection are no longer possible so remaining resources are extremely precious.
There are a lot of people under Taotie restaurant and he can\'t use these resources without any care.
He needs to consider everyone\'s needs before drawing some resources for himself but the problem is that those resources are not enough for him.
He needs to do evolution, Upgrade to Core Formation Realm. Both of these consume too many energy points. The available resources cannot meet his end.
That\'s why he wanted to upgrade his physical strength to Heart Refinement Realm. With this level of the physical body, he can have the ability to gather more resources.
Yes, He had originally planned to rush out to hunt resources by himself when he arrive at the Heart Refinement realm.
Although this idea is a bit dangerous it\'s still very feasible for the current situation. But now another easier option is in front of Robert which made him change his original plan.
"Let\'s do it. First, start with one drop." Robert walked toward the Spirit Pool cautiously.
Using the empty bottle of Healing Potion he scooped some High-grade Spiritual essence.
Cautiously he picked up the bottle and was relieved to see that the bottle is still intact.
He was in no hurry to drink the High-grade Spiritual essence as he first unpacked the other two bottles of Healing Potion.
Security comes first! He needs to guarantee that he would not die immediately.
After all the preparation he took a deep breath and picked up the bottle filled with High-Grade Spiritual Essence.
He did not drink directly from the Bottle but poured one drop into the bottle cap. Then he lifted the bottle cap and drank the High-Grade Spiritual Essence.
"Ahh!"
Immediately after the drop of High-grade spiritual essence entered his mouth he felt a piercing pain from his tongue.
It was as if the magma is rolling in his mouth making him desperate. Now he wanted to spit out that drop of Spiritual essence but he couldn\'t bear to do so.
He has already experienced so much pain if he spits out the Spiritual essence then wouldn\'t all the efforts and pain he experienced would be in vain?
Thinking of this he swallowed the drop. There is Hell Furnace, right? It can contain such a small essence, right?
But after doing this Robert regretted his decision. Why? Because it pains like hell! It felt like thousands of needles are poking his throat from inside.
And these needles are extremely hot! Because of the pain, he couldn\'t even scream as his eyes became red and he started to jump on the ground like a fish out of water.
It\'s good that this pain did not last for long as the High-Grade Spiritual essence finally entered his stomach and his body returned to normal.
Robert weakly fell on the ground with two lines of tears flowing from his eyes.
I swear that I would not pull this stunt again! If I do it then I am not a bear!
Robert thought to himself.. He felt it would be better to fight against Desolate Beasts than to eat this inhuman stuff.
