Chapter 90 - High

“In that case, I better make up for it.”

Out of guilt, He Chuan planned to bring the girl back to Glory City.

On the way, he kept using spirit crystals to replenish her spriritual energy, so it didn’t worsen the situation.

When he arrived at Glory City, the ice crystals had already recovered to their original thickness.

Very good!

Just as he had expected!

This way, he wouldn’t have to bear the psychological burden of harming a human life for nothing.

He Chuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Although he had killed countless people, the ones he had killed were all bad people.

He had a sense of justice and responsibility to back him up.

He had a clear conscience!

Facing such a situation suddenly, he felt a little pressured.

When Xu Ke, Lin Cheng, and the others saw He Chuan had returned so quickly, they were somewhat delighted.

However, when they saw the beautiful girl he had brought with him, their gazes became strange again.

“Your Highness, why did you bring the Princess of the neighboring country here?”

“What? I’m not understand.”

He Chuan put down the ice crystal casually. “I met her on the way when looking for the strange beast. I almost killed her, so I brought her back to let her recuperate.”

Xu Ke looked at the wounds on the girl’s body and scratched his head. “How could you do this to such a beautiful girl?”

“She was already like this when I went there.”

He Chuan explained, then said, “No matter who she is, we’ll talk about it after the beast Tide is over. Now, find someone to bring her to my residence’s guest room to settle her down. You’ll go with me to the storehouse.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Although the girl’s identity was exceptional, He Chuan didn’t pay much attention to her.

He was more interested in the statistical report of the storehouse.

After checking, he found that the current stock of resources was mostly beast meat and spirit crystals. It was increasing every day and couldn’t be used up.

“If we don’t use it, it’ll be a bit of a waste.”

He Chuan turned to look at Xu Ke. “Is there any way to contact the merchants of Freedom City now?”

“It’s very difficult.” Xu Ke frowned, “There are too many strange beasts on the road. If we send too few people, it will be impossible to break through. If we send too many people, it will attract a group of beasts. Unless everyone can fly like your highness, otherwise, there is no way to spread the news.”

Then there was no other way.

He Chuan shook his head secretly.

To fly, one must have very precise control over one’s strength.

And this was the benefit of the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual. No one else could learn it just because they wanted to.

Unless they were strong or experienced enough.

As for asking the awakened ones to give up the guiding technique and practice the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual…

This thought has only just appeared when he rejected it.

These people didn’t even understand the guiding technique.

How could they possibly learn the Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual?

It wasn’t that He Chuan looked down on these people.

Geniuses were truly rare.

There might not even be one in the entire Glory City.

If it couldn’t be mass-produced, the idea of delivering goods by air wouldn’t be feasible.

It was better to develop steadily.

During the beast tide period, there wasn’t much chance for them to spread their wealth. They could talk about it after they got through it.

In any case, the city didn’t lack resources for the time being and didn’t lack that little bit of extra improvement.

He Chuan then sorted out the spirit crystals he had harvested from this trip and kept the few from the bodies of strange beasts with elemental energy. He brought them back to his mansion to cultivate in seclusion.

He wanted to see what was different about these spirit crystals, so he immediately absorbed them.

He held one in each hand.

Immediately, boundless spiritual energy flowed into his arms through the meridians.

In just a moment, his body felt full.

“Eh?”

He Chuan was astonished. “It can be absorbed and fused directly?”

That was strange.

Didn’t the spirit crystals have to be absorbed slowly?

And they couldn’t absorb too much at one time.

Otherwise, the violent foreign spiritual energy would go out of control and wreak havoc inside his body.

At that time, he would be injured at most, and at worst, he would die!

Previously, there were already quite a number of awakened ones in the city who wanted to quickly increase their strength to verify this point.

This caused everyone to be cautious when cultivating.

But now…

“Could it be that the spiritual energy of this kind of high grade spirit crystal is gentler?”

He Chuan couldn’t figure out the specific reason.

However, this was very good news for him.

As long as the quantity was sufficient, advancing to level four or even level five awakened ones in a short period of time wasn’t a problem!

“Looks like I’ll have to leave the city frequently.”

…

In the following days.

He Chuan’s daily tasks were very dull.

He left the city during the day to look for strange beasts, and returned to the city at night to cultivate.

During this period, the beast tide also attacked the city once.

However, the pressure was very normal.

Currently, the number of awakened ones in Glory City has already exceeded 20,000.

Most of them had cultivated to level two.

Their strength was very secure.

They could still fight back and forth against medium-sized strange beasts in groups of three or five.

Defending the city wasn’t a problem at all.

However, there were still casualties.

Although martial arts cultivators walked the path of strengthening their bodies and their wounds recovered quickly, they couldn’t resist fighting and guarding for resources every day.

If there were too many injuries, they couldn’t hold on.

The number of casualties increased. In the blink of an eye, it had become a problem that He Chuan couldn’t ignore.

There were not enough medicinal herbs in the city.

“It’s really like a house that leaks when it rains.”

He Chuan had long expected that the beast tide would bring many problems, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.

The roads between the cities were not open, making it impossible to do business.

Where would he get the medicinal herbs that 20,000 people needed?

He once again felt the deep malice of the reincarnated world towards the reincarnators.

No wonder it was said the higher the difficulty of the world, the harder it was to obtain a high score.

He was still in the initial stage of reincarnation, yet he was unable to deal with such a difficult situation even with deduction system and the rebate as a BUFF.

He could completely imagine how desperate other people would be in such a situation.

What should he do…

He Chuan leaned back in his chair, his index finger slowly tapping on the table surface, continuously deducing in his mind.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he thought of something!

Medicinal cuisine!

Medicinal ingredients might not be the only ones with medicinal value!

Food could also be used!

There were so many strange beast meat in the storehouse, and their attributes differed. Why couldn’t he make use of them?

At that moment, He Chuan directly devoted his entire body and mind to researching medicinal cuisine.

[Beast meat number one has a bitter and sour taste, has a cold nature, and eating them too much may cause diarrhea.]

[Beast meat number two has a spicy taste, has a hot nature, and eating too much of it has the effect of strengthening the meridians. ]

[Beast meat number three…]

Very good!

He could analyze it.

What he needed to do next was to mix the unique characteristics of the strange beast meat of various attributes through a unique cooking method to achieve a better effect.

What He Chuan didn’t expect was that his way of thinking was actually incredibly correct, to the point that he had found a way that afternoon!

When he sent his subordinates to the military camp with a large pot of soup made from all kinds of strange beast meat, and supplemented by a small number of herbs and crystals.

Many people looked at him in surprise.

What is wrong with the City Lord today?

Why is he in such a good mood?

Is he cooking for them personally?
