Chapter 175 Excited Tiger, Farming
After Velshi finished speaking, a big egg two meters tall appeared in front of Arkhen.
The Tiger's ears perked up as it sensed something and looked at the egg. Quickly standing up, the Tiger hopped towards the egg and sniffed it before circling around it.
"Roarr!" It roared towards Arkhen after a few seconds with sparkling eyes.
'Oh… So it can actually sense that there is a tiger-like beast inside the egg.'
"After you absorb that flower and power yourself up, you have to infuse some of your blood essences into that egg, okay?"
*Roarrr!*
The Tiger quickly nodded with an excited expression and licked the egg a few times before gently wrapping its tail around the egg and bringing it near the crystal and lying down again.
"Hahaha, This Tiger is more excited about the egg than I expected. I thought it wouldn't give its blood essence that easily," Arkhen said with a laugh.
"When will that egg hatch, brother Arkhen? Hehe, I am also excited to see what kind of beast comes out of it," Meya said as she chuckled with anticipation in her eyes.
"In the next two or three hours."
"Arkhen, are you planning to use the beast you just got to refine your body?" the lead Shadow guard said as she looked at Arkhen.
"Yeah," Arkhen nodded as he indeed planned to refine his body with the peak 2nd-grade beast core he just got.
"Then since we have nothing to do while we are in the cave, allow me to turn that beast core into a pill. I have learned to make body strengthening pills using beast cores for better efficiency and speed of strengthening."
"Oh? Then I'll take up that offer, haha. Thanks," Arkhen said with a laugh as he took out the beast core and gave it to the shadow guard.
…
After ten minutes, Arkhen got a pill and he ate it without hesitation as the woman shadow guard created the pill from the beast core in front of him by melting it in a furnace and then adding some of her energy while producing fire.
People without fire affinity can become alchemists, chefs, and blacksmiths. However, all top alchemists, chefs, and blacksmiths have fire affinity because of the obvious advantage a fire affinity gives in terms of controlling the flame while concocting, cooking, and crafting their things.
Alchemists have two sub-occupations. One which consists of pill concocting and another which consists of potion crafting. Pill concocting requires Spirit energy while potion crafting requires Mana energy.
Mystic cooking with food that gives buffs requires chi energy while blacksmiths that craft weapons and armors require Metaphysical energy. There is also the Jewelist occupation, which crafts accessories with enchanting effects. The storage rings are crafted by Jewelists using Space gemstones.
…
As Arkhen ate the pill, powerful energy started spreading through Arkhen's body. He started controlling his energy to refine his entire body.
[Gained Strength +3, Agility +4, and Constitution +3]
The increase in stamina wasn't displayed since he had unlimited stamina.
After he was done, Arkhen stood up. "I'll go and hunt some more beasts to get their beast cores and also practice more with my skills."
After saying that, he turned to the shadow guards and said, "If possible, can two of you stay outside this cave to guard it?"
Instead of responding to him directly, they turned to Meya.
Meya nodded and sat down on top of Ruan, "Two of you stay outside the cave and guard it while the rest comes with me and brother Arkhen."
…
Half an hour later, Arkhen had killed eleven dire beasts of 2nd grade.
Instead of using, his Slaughter Blades, he mostly used Fire Fist Agnister as he wanted to make it reach Perfect-Mastery.
He had two more S-rank skills and also used them to increase their mastery to gain Reality Essence, but they were useless in a way since they were the weakest skills in his arsenal.

"Oh… A group of 1st-grade beasts?" Arkhen's eyes shined as he saw a group of horned Hyenas consisting of 7 Hyenas sitting amidst bushes with blood and flesh littering the ground. It seems that they had butchered a big-sized beast and eaten it.
Arkhen conjured his wings and quickly flew up before stopping above the sitting Hyenas.
The Hyenas stood up and started growling at Arkhen. They opened their mouths and started releasing dark earth bullets toward Arkhen.
However, Arkhen easily blocked them with his force field. While inside the force fields, Arkhen executed the
The suction force of three tornadoes was powerful as the Hyenas failed to escape and were shredded because of the sharp empowered specks of dust.

*Roarr!!*
Right after Arkhen killed the Hyenas. The ground below burst with an explosion a giant turtle with a frosty-earth shell appeared, snapping its sharp mouth towards Arkhen as its neck actually lengthened over ten meters and reached Arkhen at a super fast speed!
"Woah!" Arkhen was startled and quickly dodged with a flap of his wings before taking a good look at the giant frost turtle. "A 2nd-grade dire beast, nice."
Pointing his left hand at the turtle, Arkhen conjured a two-meter-long cannon made of chi energy and started releasing round cannon orbs the size of apples. They were condensed with chi energy along with major Fire-type power and minor Thunder-type power. (Having faint thunder power is a natural occurrence in attributed skills despite people not having the required affinity)
*Boom… Boom… Boom..*
Like multiple fireworks… the cannon orbs blasted on the turtle's shell.

The turtle was slightly damaged but not much. It released a sharp cry and conjured sharp icy crystals on its shell before they shot towards Arkhen.
Arkhen just smiled and also pointed his right hand at the turtle before he started releasing Piercing Rain Blades of Fire-type from his Dragon Blade weapon.
*Swoosh!!*
The Slaughter Blades wreathed in flames destroyed all frost crystal shards shooting towards Arkhen before continuing on the turtle.
A barrier appeared around the Turtle as it used its power but it couldn't last long and was destroyed. Soon after that, the Piercing Rain Blades pierced into the Turtle's shell, making many holes before it finally died.
[28 reality essence gained]
After digging out its beast core, Arkhen put its body into his inventory just like he did with other beasts. He also collected Beast cores of Hyenas, though their bodies were not collectible due to how they died.
"Brother Arkhen, the next gold dot is just a hundred and sixty meters away. Let's take a look there before returning," Meya said.
"Alright."
