Chapter 164: Ch 164- Secret Realm (10)

Mo Yuan looked at Flame Overlord for a moment before asking, "How do you store your items?"

Hearing this, Flame Overlord moved its only remaining arm. A small storage ring appeared in its hand.

Without any hesitation, the ape threw the ring toward Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan caught it and immediately checked the inside.

There was not much stored inside. Apart from a few ordinary items, there were several large herbs that still contained a strong trace of vitality.

Mo Yuan looked at the herbs and then asked, "What are these?"

Flame Overlord replied, "They are healing herbs. I don’t usually leave my territory to search for treasures. I mostly stay inside this cave to protect the place where the Earth Heart Nectar is formed. These are the few healing herbs I have left."

Mo Yuan nodded.

He took one of the larger herbs from the storage ring and threw it toward the ape.

"Use this to heal your arm. It should be difficult to recover from that wound, right?"

The wound on Flame Overlord’s shoulder was still fresh. Blood was slowly dripping from it, although the bleeding had already started to slow down.

Beasts had powerful regeneration abilities but losing an entire arm was still a serious injury.

Flame Overlord caught the herb and looked at it before nodding.

"Yes, Senior. With this herb, I should be able to recover the arm. However, it will still take some time."

"Then heal yourself first," Mo Yuan said.

He turned toward the Golden Mouse.

"Let’s go."

After taking a few steps, Mo Yuan looked back at Flame Overlord.

"You stay here and recover first."

Flame Overlord nodded respectfully.

"Yes, Senior."

The Golden Mouse quickly followed Mo Yuan into the cave.

The entrance of the cave was enormous. It was large enough for a beast hundreds of meters tall to enter without difficulty.

As Mo Yuan and the Golden Mouse continued deeper, the cave became much wider. The walls were covered with strange rocks and faint traces of Primordial Qi could be felt everywhere.

Mo Yuan spread his Origin Sense and it quickly covered the surrounding area.

After a few seconds, he found the location where the Earth Heart Nectar was being formed.

Mo Yuan immediately moved toward it.

As he approached, the amount of Primordial Qi in the area became several times denser than outside.

’So this is the reason.’

Mo Yuan remembered the information he had once read in the Treasure Compendium.

Earth Heart Nectar was not something that could be created easily.

It naturally formed in places where the concentration of Primordial Qi reached an extremely high level. Over a long period of time, the dense Primordial Qi would slowly gather inside special stones and eventually condense into Earth Heart Nectar.

When Mo Yuan reached the deepest part of the cave, he finally saw it.

At the top of a group of sharp rocks, a tiny golden drop of liquid was slowly forming.

It was Earth Heart Nectar.

However, the process was incredibly slow.

Mo Yuan watched for a while and understood why Flame Overlord had looked so sad when he asked for all of its Earth Heart Nectar.

’No wonder.’

’I basically took all the Earth Heart Nectar it had collected over hundreds of years.’

Mo Yuan did feel a little guilty but only a little.

After all, if he had not been strong enough, Flame Overlord would have never given it to him willingly.

Besides, Mo Yuan had already spared its life and even given it a healing herb.

Thinking about this, Mo Yuan stopped worrying about it.

He turned toward the Golden Mouse and said, "Stand guard here. I am going to cultivate for a while."

The Golden Mouse quickly nodded.

"Of course, Senior. Don’t worry. I will make sure no one disturbs you."

Mo Yuan ignored its flattering words.

He sat down cross-legged on the ground and took out one of the large containers filled with Earth Heart Nectar.

Looking at the golden liquid inside, Mo Yuan began thinking about how he should use it.

’I should save two liters for Mo Ran.’

His sister’s cultivation talent was only Standard grade. If two liters of high-grade Earth Heart Nectar could really improve a Cultivation Talent all the way to the Ultimate Grade, then Mo Ran’s future would become much better.

As for the remaining Earth Heart Nectar...

Mo Yuan’s eyes flickered.

He had plenty of talents that could potentially be improved.

The question was which one should he upgrade first.

Mo Yuan took a deep breath and opened his Talent Panel.

A familiar black screen appeared in front of him and one after another, his talents appeared before his eyes.

Human: Mo Yuan

Cultivation Talent: Exceptional Grade

Copy and Paste Talent: Unique Grade (0.1%)

Speed Talent: Ultimate Grade

Saber Talent: Ultimate Grade

Sword Talent: Ultimate Grade

Enlightenment Talent: Exceptional Grade

Shadow Talent: Standard Grade

Strength Talent: Ultimate Grade

Regeneration Talent: Ultimate Grade

Space Talent: Secondary Grade

Comprehension Talent: Superior Grade

Flame Talent: Inferior Grade

Endurance Talent: Standard Grade

Defensive Talent: Ultimate Grade

Illusion Talent: Superior Grade

Devour Talent: Superior Grade

Body Morphing Talent: Ultimate Grade

Kinetic Energy Absorption Talent: Superior Grade

Mo Yuan looked at the long list of talents in front of him and nodded.

This was the result of everything he had done since coming to this world.

Every talent he had obtained, every beast he had killed and every dangerous battle he had survived had brought him to this point.

Now, with the Earth Heart Nectar, he had another chance to become stronger.

’Which talent should I upgrade first?’

Mo Yuan began thinking carefully.

His first thought was the Space Talent.

Although it was only a Secondary Grade Talent, it had enormous potential. It gave him a space of one kilometer in length, width and height, along with a mysterious Space Sense that could detect things within ten meters.

If he could upgrade it to the Ultimate Grade, the improvement would definitely be enormous.

However, there was one problem.

’Will the same amount of Earth Heart Nectar be enough?’

Not every talent was the same.

A simple talent might be easy to improve but a mysterious talent like Space Talent could require far more resources.

Mo Yuan did not want to waste the Earth Heart Nectar without knowing how much would be needed.

Then he remembered the Shadow Bull.

That beast was extremely powerful physically and possessed an incredibly strange Shadow Talent.

However, Mo Yuan had also noticed one weakness.

Its soul.

Beast souls were generally weaker than human souls at the same realm. Most beasts relied heavily on their powerful bodies, while humans focused more on their souls and techniques.

Mo Yuan’s eyes slowly moved toward his Illusion Talent.

Illusion Talent: Superior Grade.

This talent could strengthen his soul power by five times.

If he upgraded it to the Ultimate Grade, his Origin Sense and soul power would increase even further.

’First, I should upgrade the Illusion Talent to the Ultimate Grade.’

Mo Yuan made his decision.

’Dealing with that bull is more important right now.’

As for his other talents, he would improve them later if there was enough Earth Heart Nectar left.

With that thought, Mo Yuan picked up the container.

He was ready to begin.
