"Cough, ehh, yes, you heard that right. You can find this Warrior-grade medicine in the region..." The old man said in a disinterested way.
"Ahh, I said. See, let's go to that place right away." A young man with black hair said, looking at the rest of his group.
They had heard this rumor from a coachman in the City of Flowers, so they came to this store. Naturally, they wanted to buy accurate information, as they had only heard that medicine was in this region. Still, they did not know where to look.
After the group heard the old man's confirmation, they soon left the store, heading towards one of the city's exits.
Meanwhile, Minos approached the old man and asked curiously. "Sir, can you tell me a little more about this subject?"
The old man looked at Minos for a second and thought contemptuously. 'Another poor fellow interested in this news? By his aura, he must have just reached level 37. So, why does he want to know about it? He won't be able to use it until the Spiritual Tournament.'
This old man had obtained this information from his subordinate. Moreover, he had used some of his acquaintances to spread this news to young people passing through the City of Flowers.
These people would participate in the Spiritual Tournament!
He couldn't do anything with that medicine, so he was willing to get some crystals from some competitors who were interested in it. He knew that probably none of these people would be able to harvest this medicine, but that was their problem...
After being silent for a while, the old man said. "You need to pay 500 low-grade crystals for the information."
Minos immediately gave a small bag with the crystals, and then the old man continued. "Well, a few days ago, I was notified by a subordinate that there was a Warrior-grade medicine in the region of the Peak of the Fog."
"It is a medicine called Rainbow Fruit and is already matured. If you don't know the region, you can buy a map for 2,000 low-grade crystals."
"Hmm."
Minos then paid quickly and collected his map with the old man. After that, he and Ruth went looking for a hotel to spend the night in this city.
Halfway through, Ruth finally asked a question curiously. "Minos, why are you interested in that information before?"
She did not understand how a Warrior-grade medicine could move Minos' interest. First, he didn't need this to increase his cultivation speed.
Second, it was only one medicine and would not be used to help his soldiers.
Third, he had enough crystals to buy many of these medicines.
Minos laughed and said. "Well, just because I don't need it doesn't mean that I can't be interested. But the main thing here is that it can help me more than you think."
Ruth frowned and asked. "How?"
"I'm going to harvest this medicine and plant it on the Black Plain. It may be just one now, but it has valuable seeds."
In the Spiritual World, spiritual medicine seeds were not easily found in markets.
They were precious, so the families that held them collected the seeds before selling the medicines.
That is because seeds were useless in the production of spiritual pills.
As a result, these families would not give up their seeds since this would increase the supply of resources in the market, reducing the slice collected by these powers. As a result, it wasn't easy to buy seeds in the Spiritual World.
And even if someone were to sell seeds, its price would be considerably high!
Ruth understood what Minos wanted, but she still had many doubts about it. She then continued to ask. "But I believe that other people must already be competing for this medicine. Do you think it is worth joining this? Perhaps it has even been harvested."
Minos smiled and massaged Ruth's face fondly, then he said. "Not necessarily. It is not that easy to harvest medicines."
"If you want to preserve the spirituality of both the seeds and the rest of the plant, then there are some conditions for this to be done."
"First, the person who collects must have a specific way of doing this. Each medicine has its characteristics, so even an alchemist who knows how to harvest a certain medicine may not know how to do it with another."
"And when we are talking about wild plants, like the one in question, it is much more difficult than normal. As you may know, alchemists study a lot about the various medicines available. But most of the plants cataloged by them are those that have been 'domesticated' a long time ago. Therefore, those that grow naturally in nature are much more complicated."
"And the second way to harvest such a plant, which is to have a high spiritual sense. In the case of a Warrior-grade medicine, the cultivator must be at least in the 6th stage of cultivation in order to sense the plant's spirituality precisely enough to harvest it without causing damage."
"And well, there are certainly some people in this city who meet these requirements. But alchemists who can do that are not interested in a single Warrior-grade plant and the same for Spiritual Kings."
It was not easy to harvest and reproduce wild spiritual medicines. Certainly, even a grade-2 alchemist could take a long time to achieve this without outside help. All of this made this type of medicine less attractive to those specialists.
"This leaves only those cultivators that are weaker and with fewer crystals, who are going to keep an eye on this medicine. But it is improbable that one of them will be able to harvest it without damaging it."
"What if someone did that?" Ruth said, smiling.
"So, it won't matter. We continue our journey as if nothing has happened."
She then replied. "But do you know how to harvest a medicine like that? You are not even an alchemist."
"Hmm, luckily, I learned a way to collect spiritual medicines. I just need the right tools." He said with a smile on his face.
Back in the Spatial Kingdom, Minos had inherited a set of tools for collecting medicines. Such things had been made by an array master and a high-level blacksmith at the request of Henricus Longus. These tools repel spiritual energy, which makes them perfect for collecting medicines.
With its unique characteristics, it could only be used in the right parts of the medicine, in the regions where there was no flow of spiritual energy!
Minos then said before they finally reached the hotel. "With that, I can save some crystals from the Black Plain. The cost of spiritual medicines alone covers almost half the price of a pill."
...
They entered a more than 10-stories high building, heading towards the hotel reception. Minos then slapped his hand on the counter and said with a smile on his face. "Receptionist, give me a double room."
Upon hearing this, this time, Ruth showed no thought against this idea, even showing a beautiful smile on her face.
In fact, she wanted it herself. Being alone in a room was what she had desired for days. Even if she still wasn't sure of giving herself over to Minos, she was very anxious to be touched intimately by him and to touch him too!
Staying in the Valley of the Beasts for nearly four days prevented them from progressing far in their 'games,' as at least one of them needed to be vigilant for dangers in their surroundings.
And this significantly increased their sexual tension!
"Here, sir, your apartment is number 801." A young man said with a smile as he handed the keys to Minos.
Shortly after receiving it, Minos took one of Ruth's hands and proceeded to the central part of the entrance hall, where there were four elevators.
Minos then looked into Ruth's eyes as they waited for an elevator and smiled. He didn't want to start cultivating as soon as he got to the room. Instead, today he wanted to reverse the order of things a little.
Seeing Minos' longing look, Ruth quickly understood the meaning and smiled slightly. She was happy that he had the same intentions as she did. It was much better to be with someone like that!
...
The two finally arrived in their room, on the 8th floor of the hotel where they were staying.
The room was even better than the previous ones that Minos had gone through, even having an air conditioning array that heated and cooled!
There were lots of lights in the room, ample space, a site to cultivate, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and a beautiful view of the City of Flowers. The rest was, as usual, a big bed and a decoration according to the place where they were.
Minos then locked the door and went towards Ruth, who was already sitting on the end of the bed.
They began to warmly kiss while they undressed little by little and exchanged caresses.
Ruth had a misty look in her eyes and a flushed face while she had her hair tied up in a big ponytail.
For Minos, his expression was quite regular, apart from the lustful look in his eyes. In front of him, the young woman indeed did have a stunning body, which made him want her as he had never felt before.
Even though he met many beautiful women and even had a 'session' with the lovely Elena, his lust for Ruth was on a whole new level.
Ruth was then half-naked, while Minos was more daring, being completely naked. Seeing this, Ruth blushed even more, when she noticed the size of Minos' rod. It seemed even bigger than the volume she was already used to feel!
"So big..." She murmured in a low voice.
