Chapter 158: Meeting Elder Eagor

'What should I pick?'

Looking at the screen full of items, Henrick was unable to decide on a single item because he liked all the items and they would definitely be helpful for him in the near future.

'I will go with Endurance boosting pill then,'

After thinking for some time, he finally chose the 'Endurance boosting pill' as he felt it would help him more with his cultivation compared to the other items on the light screen. At least that's what he thought in his mind.

Currently, he was not venturing into some dangerous places. So, things like defence talisman, energy storage talisman have no use for him.

As for the small comprehension pill, it also didn't have much use for him as he didn't have anything to comprehend now.

'Ding,

1000 crude souls are deducted from the master's account.

'Ding,

Endurance boosting pill is stored in the inventory.

As soon as he confirmed the transaction, the system notified him about the deduction of the crude souls along with storing the 'Endurance boosting pill' in his inventory.

"Okay then. I will go now and come again tomorrow, trial master,"

Henrick said to the trial master before coming out of the inheritance building.

As usual, there was no one around the inheritance building and Henrick didn't have to worry that he would be noticed by others.

'If someone saw me coming from the inheritance building, then I will be in a trouble,'

According to the disciples and elders of the sect, the inheritance building was a cursed building with all kinds of rumours. So, there would be only a few people using the path in front of the inheritance building.

"Finally, I can sense the fire elements,"

"Me too. Finally, we could join the sect in a week from now on,"

"Don't forget, the sect's evaluation is very high and that's the reason why there are only a few cultivators in the sect,"

"Yeah, and it was also the reason why each and every disciple of the sect is very strong,"

While going to the Elder Eagor's room, he saw a group of working disciples talking with one other.

Some of them were sad while others were happy as they excitedly talked out loud.

'Oh. Today is the day all the working disciples could increase their sensitivity towards the fire elements, right? Time passed away very fast,'

Henrick recalled the time he used to be one of them and once in a month he used to go near the mountain and tried to sense the fire elements and felt a little emotional.

"Henrick"

Just as he walked near the working disciples' courtyard, he heard a familiar voice and turned back to see an old man in orange coloured robes.

"Elder Eagor"

He immediately greeted the old man as he had high respect for him.

"Not bad, not bad. You entered the muscle strengthening realm already,"

Elder Eagor nodded his head at Henrick's cultivation before asking him, "Let's go inside and talk."

It was strictly not allowed to talk about matters related to cultivation in front of non-cultivators. 

"Now say, how is life on the 'Twin fire mountain'?"

After they entered the room, Elder Eagor asked Henrick about his life on the mountain.

Since they were many working disciples in the distance, Elder Eagor asked Henrick to come into his room.

"I am yet to go venture into the outer sect. My master, the sect leader Gamos, didn't allow me to go outside until I reach the muscle-strengthening realm,"

Henrick shook his head as he said he didn't explore the outer sect yet.

"Haha...it is all for your sake. Just bear with it and cultivate,"

Elder Eagor laughed as he replied to Henrick.

"If only my master knows that staying inside the cultivation abode for many days in the early stages of cultivation, then he would not set conditions like that," Henrick shook his head as he wanted his master to know about his difficulties.

Even though it was required for a cultivator to be patient, for a new cultivator, it was the most difficult thing until they got used to it.

"Who said your master didn't know your difficulties? He must have been under the same training and that's why he was training his disciples like that,"

Elder Eagor replied with a slight smile on his face as he asked, "Do you want anything specific to eat?"

"No, anything is fine," Henrick didn't have much preference in food. As long as it was edible, he could eat. Moreover, he knew that Elder Eagor's handmade food would be too delicious.

'What that his earlier words mean?'

After replying to Elder Eagor about the food, Henrick thought about his earlier words regarding his master.

"So, are you saying that my master was also trained similar to me by his master?"

Henrick revealed a smile as he understood Elder Eagor's words.

"Who knows? But he might have gone through it," Elder started cooking as he replied to Henrick.

'Woah'

"I missed your cooking, Elder Eagor,"

Soon, the aroma spread the entire room that made Henrick think back to the time he used to eat Elder Eagor's food all the time.

"You can come here anytime you want to eat it,"

Soon, Elder Eagor brought the food to the table and started eating along with Henrick.

....

Inside the beast mountain's master's cultivation abode,

"Eek eek"

The baby fire monkey's stomach looked bulged as though it ate a little too much food and lazily shouted at the old man Fionk.

"What? You want more?"

Fionk was shocked by the glutton in front of him.

After placing a pile of fruits in front of the baby fire monkey, the old man Fionk came out of his cultivation abode to check on the event.

After coming back, what he saw was a bulged baby fire monkey and moreover, it asked for more the moment it saw him.

"If you eat any more, you will explode. So, I will not give you any more fruits for now,"

It was not a big thing for the old man regarding the fruits; however, what he worried was the baby fire monkey might die by overeating. So, he instantly rejected its request.

"Eek eek"

The baby fire monkey revealed a sad look and looked at the ground.

'Sigh'

Seeing that, the old man Fionk felt a little bad and sighed.

"Fine, take this one last fruit,"

After sighing for a moment, he took out a small black coloured fruit from his storage ring and gave it to the baby fire monkey.

'Eek eek'

As soon as it saw another juicy fruit, it became excited and stretched its hand from the place where it sat.

"You are not even able to stand and you want to eat more,"

The old man Fionk scolded it as he tossed the fruit at it.

'Gulp'

In a single gulp, the baby fire money tossed it into its mouth before going back to its sad look as though it wanted more.

"You want more? Sure"

This time, the old man Fionk didn't hesitate much before taking out another pile of fruits from his storage ring and placed it in front of it.

'Eek eek'

Spark became excited when it looked at the fruits and extended its hand to take one fruit.
