1746: Chapter 1744: Integration Soup 1746: Chapter 1744: Integration Soup Traveling along the road, Peter Brown witnessed the scene of a chaotic world, filled with refugees everywhere, all wearing that helpless expression.
Seeing this, Peter even doubted whether he had arrived in the Three Kingdoms Era, an age when the entire country was in disarray.
Fortunately, Peter wore a chest plate, and along the way, he encountered no trouble and soon arrived at the Trading Market.
After reaching this place, Peter further felt the hustle and bustle, and, of course, selling children was not an uncommon sight.
At this mont, Peter also reflected on what Harry Turner had ntioned about a thod of advancent during chaotic tis—only by ranking in the top 1% could one avoid being demoted by the Heavenly Dao.
Considering his own situation, Peter was sowhat anxious.
If he were truly demoted, it would be tantamount to a death sentence.
Without the luxury to pity those in sorrow, Peter directly went to the area selling Decoctions.
“What would you like, Sir?
We have everything here,” the store owner, a middle-aged man, scrutinized Peter and then asked in confusion, “Are you from the Lower Realm?”
“How did you tell?”
“Heh, people from the Lower Realm obviously look weaker than our indigenous people here.
Look at you, when you step on the ground, it’s quite feeble with no sense of impact.
Moreover, your body clearly hasn’t been soaked in Decoction.
It even shows signs of imminent collapse.
Based on your condition, I can tell you must have co out of the Despair Forest.”
At this point, Peter was truly shocked; he hadn’t expected the other party to understand his situation so clearly.
“How did you find out?”
Peter asked again, curious.
“Didn’t anyone tell you?
People like you from the Lower Realm must be soaked in the Integration Soup within ten days or else you’ll suffer a complete physical collapse due to incompatibility with the rules of this realm.
From your condition, it’s apparent that you’ve surpassed ten days, so your body could collapse at any mont, which would lead to death.
Only in the special environnt of the Despair Forest can one exceed ten days without soaking, and living there can cause subtle changes to the body.
However, if you leave the Despair Forest and don’t soak within half a year, you are still on a path to death.”
After hearing this, Peter was greatly alard; he had not expected such a situation.
“Why hasn’t anyone ntioned this to ?”
The shop owner smiled slightly, “You must have beco a Guest Minister, right?
The families don’t tell you because they want to see if you can solve this problem on your own.
If you don’t even know about it, let alone solve it, why should they believe you have talent or trust you?”
Upon reflection, Peter realized this was indeed the case and asked, “I only knew that Cultivation required a type of Foundation Establishnt dicine Soup.
I genuinely didn’t know about the Integration Soup.”
“Let explain it to you.
People like you who co from the Lower Realm have to go through a process of integrating into this realm upon arrival.
The most effective way to do this is by soaking in Integration Soup.”
“That’s not right; those who believe in this place’s arrival, their ancestors probably didn’t know about soaking in Integration Soup.
How did they survive?”
“Do you know how the current cities were developed?
Let tell you, normally, everyone enters places like the Despair Forest, and after living there, they co out.
Many realized the situation after erging, and it took many years of groping to inherit the recipe for Integration Soup.
While it’s not a complicated recipe, failing to soak in this Decoction certainly leads to a dead end.”
So that’s how it is!
Peter now understood that every place had its ways of adapting; perhaps here they used these Decoctions to soak, while other places had different ans.
In any case, only after altering the body’s structure could one fit the rules of this realm and survive.
“Does it an that we people need to soak in two types of Decoctions to Cultivate?”
“Exactly, first the Integration Soup, then the Foundation Establishnt dicine Soup.
Only after soaking in both can one truly cultivate.”
“Well, let have a look first.”
“Please feel free, Sir.
You can ask around; what I told you is true.”
“Fine, as long as it’s true, I will co to buy it from you when the ti cos.”
In the ti following, Peter inquired with those selling dicinal materials and, after questioning them, confird that indeed two kinds of Decoctions were necessary to beco a true cultivator here.
“Peter Brown, you’re here too?” Just coming out of a shop, Peter saw Kane Nelson.
“I’ve seen Mr.
Campbell.”
Kane Nelson smiled slightly and asked, “Any gains?”
“Mr.
Campbell, do people like us need to soak in Integration Soup?”
Kane Nelson’s face bead with a greater smile, “Exactly, it seems you have discovered the situation yourself.
It’s a test for you.
If you could not find this out, death would await you, and our Lord would not want such a person as a Guest Minister.
You have to understand, everyone is put through the sa examination.”
“I dare not fault others; it’s sothing I should have discovered on my own.”
“Good, I suppose you don’t have much money now.
If you need it, you can get an advance from the County Office for so money for your Integration Soup, which is not cheap—ten Crystal Coins each.
You need to soak at least three tis to truly integrate.
You can soak all three tis at once, or within a year.
As long as you do well, you shouldn’t have trouble getting the money.”
“I have so crystal cores from the Despair Forest.
I will see if I can exchange them for a few doses of Decoction.
If that’s not enough, then I’ll get an advance.”
Kane Nelson smiled and said, “You handle it yourself.
If you need help, co find .”
After speaking, Kane Nelson leisurely walked away.
Watching Mr.
Campbell’s departing figure, Peter gained a greater understanding of the people here.
In a place like this, if you didn’t have so skills, you would indeed be abandoned.
Peter looked around so of the purchasing stations for a while and gained so understanding of the crystal cores’ situation.
The cost varied widely based on color, and with the crystal cores Peter held, excluding the two largest ones, he could afford only three doses of Integration Soup and ten doses of Foundation Establishnt dicine Soup.
Peter would absolutely not sell the two largest crystal cores, which were King-level; they had lethal power for those below Martial Saint rank.
Besides, there were a few slightly smaller ones that couldn’t be sold either, as they also had lethal power for those at Marshal-level.
These would be the basis for Peter’s next steps for survival, needing to be carefully kept.
