The last Asura Sovereign

Chapter 50: Escalating Situations



It had been about twenty days since Amrit became a spirit chef. After finding that the taste of spirit food was way more delicious than the usual foods, he went into a frenzy and started preparing spirit food. He had almost finished the eggs in the crate and had to ask his father for more ingredients. Not only omelets but he had become proficient in cooking rice, bread, pancakes, barbecue, and soup. Cooking breakfast and dinner became his daily job when his parents and grandparents found out that he had become a spirit chef. After all who wouldn’t want to eat delicious food every day? Even those immortals could not resist the allure of delicious food and what’s more, it could help with their cultivation.

Gaining strength by just eating delicious food is a dream come true for any cultivator. After finding the food was delicious Punya had diverted a group of cultivators stationed at the Bareback mountains to forage for different flavored herbs and hunt spirit beasts with delicious meat. The cultivators at the post could only sigh and obey their leader because they knew he would occasionally come up with eccentric ideas when he was bored. This was also why the elders tried to keep him busy in the clan hall. With the practice of twenty days and an excessive amount of resources available to him, Amrit reached the high tier of first-grade spirit chef. He was on the verge of reaching the top tier in a day or two. This was an astonishing rate of improvement. Even the monstrous geniuses may fall short of this achievement. The people around Amrit were astonished and even Amrit himself was shocked.

When he stepped foot on the path of spirit chef, he knew he had a good affinity but after twenty days even he was shocked by the improvement. He knew for a fact that he would become a second-grade spirit chef before he could break through to the foundation building realm. Second-grade auxiliary profession at the age of fifteen, even in the Emerald kingdom, there may be none. The perk of being a spirit chef was that he could make whatever food he thought would bring him the best benefits. And with his father supplying the resources, he was getting closer to breaking through the thirteenth realm of qi sensing. After he breaks through he could then prepare for the foundation building realm. Although it may take a while to breakthrough who knows if there will be some opportunity. This realm was where real cultivation started. And he knew that after his breakthrough he would gain unimaginable powers and his legacy would be further unlocked. This was what his gut was telling him. Even now he could kill most of the foundation building realm cultivators who had just broken through, and it was killing not defeating.

But it was not just Amrit who had improved on the clan, there were many people who had broken through because of the new pills refined by Kumari, many people were getting the hang of the new professions from the Skill pavilion, and the cultivators sent to the outpost in the Bareback mountains were starting to show results. Using the new pill formula, Kumari had refined a large amount of pills for the clan. She had almost emptied the treasury of herbs and some minerals. The pill formula contained different herbs and methods used to refine the same pills. This was why almost every single herb inside the clan treasury in the second grade was used. And the result was the middle level of combat cultivator’s number increased rapidly.

Many people were breaking to higher levels every day and the contribution points were running low among the clan members. This caused many members to volunteer to go to the outpost on the Bareback mountains. Punya first thought that he would have to forcibly draft the clan members for the outpost in Bareback mountains but who knew because of the large number of breakthrough pills and cultivation pills appearance, the clan cultivators except for those auxiliary cultivators agreed to go to the Bareback mountains. They saw hope to increase their cultivation, and even those with limited talents saw a way to forcibly break through the bottleneck. This caused most of the members to spend the clan contribution points and start working harder for it.

Even the lazy ones were filled with adrenaline. So what if they can’t breakthrough normally, they will do it forcefully through pills and even reach the foundation building realm. In just twenty days, more than a dozen foundation building cultivators were added to the clan. This was almost half of the number of foundation building realm cultivators the Rijal clan had before. Breaking through to the foundation building realm, a cultivator needs spiritual energy which is provided by the lower-grade spirit vein situated under the city. The clans share the spiritual vein so although the spiritual energy provided to the city is enough for the foundation building realm, it is somewhat insufficient for the golden core formation realm breakthrough.

If a clan can monopolize the spirit vein, the number of cultivators in the foundation building realm will increase rapidly. Some of the cultivators with good aptitude and solid foundation in the qi sensing realm can breakthrough naturally without the use of pills but for those with subpar talents, they will need the aid of pills, and depending on the purity of pills, their chances for breakthrough increases. With time and cultivation methods, any cultivator with little talent can reach the peak of the qi sensing realm but after that is a major hurdle, so the Rijal clan and other clans had many members at the peak of the qi sensing realm but very few at the foundation building realm.

This time Punya had given those breakthrough pills to his subordinates and only three or four breakthrough pills were listed on the treasure pavilion. The treasure pavilion was on the left side of the clan hall so there was no elder placed but there were some deacons there to exchange treasures with the clan contribution points. The treasure pavilion was directly under the authority of the clan leader and the treasure vault was under the clan hall which only the clan leader and the supreme elders had access to.
