Fallen Body Potion

Trevon returned to his room. He still brought the saber artifact in his hand.

[I should try to sell this to the store.] He went to the Universe Store using 'I Am A Customer' skill. Auto received him.

Trevon sold the saber for 30.125 spirit stones and purchased it again for 36.150 spirit stones. He returned back after he did that.

[This is easy. I got another artifact in the store.] He laughed. The saber was nice. Perhaps he could sell more of it to his family.

[Where is that Rabbink?] Trevon only saw Aya and Marcus in the room.

[He must be stealing some recipes.] Trevon thought. He decided to write a letter to Boss Violet. [He should already capture Kyle. I hope.]

The bored young master didn't know what to do. Aya and Marcus were busy cultivating and he was alone.

"What should I do?" Trevon thought. He looked around the room. A white mouse was busy taking leftover foods from the table.

He saw Nana, the mouse, was slowly stealing some leftover foods.

"I got you!" Trevon tried to catch Nana.

"SQUEAK!" Nana easily dodged Trevon. "Squeak… Squeak…" She ran from the table and laughed on a corner.

"What? Who is slow?" Trevon used his newly leveled 'Wind Piercing Dash'. He stretched his arm trying to grab the big mouse.

"Squeak!" Nana had managed to run away to another corner.

Trevon continued to follow with his dash. Nana escaped toward a corner. The door was behind her and Trevon.

"You can't run. Hahaha." Trevon dashed.

"BRAK!" Trevon was held by a big hand and pressed to the floor.

"GAH!"

"No running in my place!" Taitus returned to the room. His gray robe was still clean showing that he didn't require any power during the battle before. "You may bump into the food."

"Squeak… Squeak…" Nana laughed. The mouse quickly went to the table. She climbed into a chair, then jumped into the table.

"Here is your Drunken Pig!" Taitus brought a huge plate covered with a silver cloche on his other hand.

"Yes." Trevon also followed Taitus toward the table.

"Finally, I got the recipe for Drunken Pig! Gwahahaha." Master Rabbink laughed. It just entered the room.

Trevon saw the huge cloche. It was one meter in diameter. [I could feast on this.] He couldn't wait to have his hard-earned food. The young master could imagine making himself full after his hard work to get this food.

Taitus half-opened the cloche. Trevon could smell the fragrant and ambrosial smell from the inside the clover. He knew what was cooked inside had various herbs to make this smoky and fragrant smells. There was a comforting sweet aroma from it, while a delicate acrid could be smelt too.

[This must be delicious.] Trevon felt happy. Even Nana could wait to eat. She knew it was a spirit food inside.

"Enjoy your Drunken Pig!" Taitus fully opened the silver cloche.

A very small roasted bird was on it.

"Eh! It is a bird?!" Trevon couldn't believe what he saw. It was a quail.

"Yes. It is a roasted Gigantes Earthen Brown Quail with my secret recipe." Taitus nodded.

"It isn't a real pig?"

"That pig? It is hard to catch one. Do you think I will cook a rare demon beast? The boar is the test and this food is named like that by the spectator. As long as you can defeat it, you could ask for my special food." Taitus's tone was filled proud when he said special food.

Trevon wanted to cry. The quail is only as large as a common quail. Nana was even larger than the quail.

As if he knew that Trevon felt disappointed, Taitus continued to explain. "Even the King couldn't ask me to cook this. You have to defeat the boar at the same or higher level before I will cook my special menu for you. Only five people in Heavenly Phoenix who could request my special menu before you. Your family leader, Michael is one of the people. You are the sixth person."

"Only five people!" Trevon couldn't believe that.

"Many famous warriors have tried including your grandfather, Douglas. All except five were failed. You are lucky I just captured this young boar to test you. I will take my time now. Every time I make this menu, I will cook for the audiences in your name. Enjoy your food. You deserve it! I will remember your name, Trevon McArthur." Taitus left the room again with the saber.

Trevon finally knew why the audience was enthusiastic. It was because of free entertainment and free foods. If even his grandfather failed the test. He should be proud of it.

[Hahaha…] Trevon looked into the bird.

"Squeak!"

"GAH!" Trevon quickly grabbed the cloche and slammed it toward the cooked quail.

"Bang!!!" The mouse slammed toward the cloche.

Nana almost managed to enter it. However, Nana wouldn't give up easily. The mouse quickly used its sharp fangs to make a hole in the silver cloche.

"Wait! I will sell it to the store first. We will feast on the bird." Trevon held Nana's tail. The mouse grumbled.

"What?" Master Rabbink almost took the food. It had materialized a large fork to take the roasted quail. A silver cloche wouldn't stop the Rabbink from eating.

Trevon went to the store and ask Auto to sell it. He went to ask Auto to purchase it again for him.

[Drunken Pig is added to the Universe Store.]

[Description: This is the special menu from Taitus, the chef of Sleeping Dragon, Goldcave. It is made from Gigantes Earthen Brown Quail cooked with over fifty special herbs, Gigantes Honey, and Taitus's secret sauce using spiritual energy pressure.]

[Selling Price: 532.000 Energy]

Trevon bought some for himself, Aya, Marcus, Nana, and Master Rabbink.

"We should celebrate today! We survive the bandit and also the attacker!" He couldn't say to Aya and Marcus all the reasons for the celebration.

"Thank you for this meal, Young Master." Marcus said with fist and palm greeting.

"Thank you, Young Master." Aya bowed to Trevon.

"You should use a fist and palm greeting more often Aya. You have become a cultivator now."

"Yes, Young Master." She habitually bowed again.

"See? You did it again. Hahaha." Trevon laughed.

"I... I am sorry." She this time properly greeted Trevon with a first and palm greeting.

"Good. Let's eat!" He felt really good.

In the past two days, he felt down because he was forced to fight the bandit and ended with him killing a person for the first time with his own hand. However, he also got something from the incidents. Nana had increased her potential. Trevon also managed to take the treasure from Debt Collector while dealing a blow to his Hero Aura.

As a warrior, he had just one step away from becoming a Rank 2 warrior. That was a huge thing. A Rank 2 warrior could go protect oneself when traveling around the continent. Compared to other kids around his age group, he was more than a genius. He might deserve the word monster genius.

[Having a cheat is good.] He smiled.

Trevon took a bite of the fragrant quill. Nana and Master Rabbink had eaten their portion. Both were enjoying the aftertaste.

[It is so soft and tender.] He thought. The meat was easily chewed, it seemed like it was melted in his mouth.

His first bit tasted the sweet honey. However, the sweet turned into a sharp savory taste. There was a bit zesty of something like lime. The tender Quail meat with a smoky taste mixed with flavorsome herbs made the food divine. Each bit contained many flavors, yet those flavors were at the correct quantity.

"This is great." Trevon said. He could feel a spiritual energy lingered in his body from his stomach. Unfortunately, absorbing this wasn't as effective as from spirit stones. However, this was a thousand times taste better.

"I agree, Young Master. Unfortunately, the other couldn't taste it." Mascus also looked to the food with fascination. He came from a small cultivation family. If not because of Trevon, he would never taste this delicious food.

"Yes. This is the best I have tried." Aya felt happy following Trevon. If she stayed in Redwood's slum. She would never taste the food.

"Do not worry! I will cook for you again." Trevon bragged.

"Young Master can cook it? Please teach Aya the next time, Young Master!" Aya bowed.

[Eh?] Trevon felt he was digging his own grave. He can't reject Aya. She was like a half maid and half younger sister to Trevon. [How could I teach Aya? I just said that as the reason to purchase the food in the future.]

"Gwahahaha. You shouldn't brag using my cooking." Master Rabbink took more quail from God knew where.

[Please give me the recipe!] Trevon begged.

"Over this Rabbink's dead body." Master Rabbink bit the extra quail.

"What is it, Young Master?"

"Hahaha. Perhaps one day! Hahaha. You need high cultivation to cook this." Trevon made some excuses on the spot.

"Yes, Young Master." Aya looked determined.

[Gah! She is serious.] Trevon felt cold sweats. He truly didn't have the recipe for this food.

Trevon finished his lunch. He posted a letter using McArthur service to Redwood for Violet, the gang leader about Kyle. Then he went into a winehouse.

Trevon selected a VIP room. Aya and Marcus were waiting outside in the bodyguard room. While Nana was sleeping on the table. He wanted to take his time to check about his newly gained treasure.

"Now tell me about the liquid." Trevon had activated the privacy formations.

"Go to the Universe Store and look!"

Trevon went to Universe Store. As always, he asked Auto to purchase it for him. Trevon himself waited in the VIP room.

After waiting for three minutes, the bot came with a small bottle floating next to it.

Trevon took the item. A panel explaining the item was there.

[Immortal Fallen Body Potion]

[Description: A crazy genius researcher from Immortal Realm created this potion to revive his dying mortal wife. Unfortunately, he failed to challenge the wheel of destiny. The revived body could no longer think and only obeyed. A new species appeared that day in Thousand Arts Universe, the Fallen Body.]

[Buying Price: 100.000.000.000 Energy]

[Selling Price: 120.000.000.000 Energy]

[Do you want to pay 120.000.000.000 energy for a vial of Immortal Fallen Body Potion?]

"Confirmed." Auto said to complete Trevon's request to purchase one.

The vial materialized next to Trevon.

"WHAT?!!! This is expensive. You tricked me, Rabbink!" Trevon wanted to cry. He had saved a lot of money during the last two years, profiting from his family. This just made him spent almost all his core energy. The young master remembered he had over one hundred billion core energy before.

He quickly used his Core Management skill to check his universe status.

[Core Name: Unnamed]

[Core Energy: 17.643.457.234]

[Universe Population: 10.520.221]

[Universe Planet: 1]

"Who is tricking you? This Rabbink didn't tell you to purchase it. Also, this potion is a cheat by itself. It is an Immortal Realm treasure, yet you have this now. It is worth the price."

Trevon returned to his universe. He looked angrily toward the Rabbink. "I had over one hundred billion core energy before."

"Yes. The liquid you sold is only a bit." Master Rabbink said. "The Debt Collector had diluted it."

"Diluted? That liquid is already thick." Trevon saw the super expensive vial in his hand. He remembered that painful experience.

"This is worth the price, especially since you were in the mortal realm. The liquid is powerful. The Debt Collector also lucky to find it from an inheritance. Even in the immortal realm, this is a rare treasure." Master Rabbink said.

"But, I can't use this. If people know I use this I will be hunted." While Trevon agreed this potion was very powerful, its effect was scary. The user would become public enemy number one.

"Wait! You haven't heard all this Rabbink's explanation."

"Yes." Trevon poured some wine to calm himself.

"You must have read the description about this vial. This vial is a failed product. Yet, this Rabbink also couldn't change its effect to break the barrier of its rank. It is only an Immortal Man level treasure."

Trevon felt even bitter. [It is a failed product.] He drank a cup of wine.

"The creator wanted to revive his wife. However, he could not recreate the soul. Any dead body with this potion would become an empty living body. He made an undying monster instead."

"Yes. I know that." Trevon had seen those Fallen Bodies. They didn't have any expression.

"However, he couldn't make a fully undying one. The monster could recreate its body parts but needed more potions to keep living. Any creature or their parts that got this potion would require it over and over again. The crocodile could survive that long was because it received more potion."

"Gah! I have splashed by the potion too." Trevon felt his body was unwell. He touched his forehead. It was a bit warm. [I am sick.]

"You are a cultivator. It isn't easy to make you sick without poison." Master Rabbink materialized several fists and slammed them to Trevon. "Auto had taken everything foreign from your body."

"Yes. Yes. Stop it." Somehow Trevon felt his body except for his head very well again. Master Rabbink's punch was painful.

"Let this Rabbink continue! This Rabbink had perfected the potion. Fallen bodies created from this potion wouldn't need to get more potions in the future to survive. You just need to drop this potion to a dead body."

"Wow! That is scary." Trevon could imagine more and more fallen body would appear. [I can have an army of fallen bodies. Hohoho.]

"Do not be too happy! The creator didn't plan this to spread but eternally integrated into the dead bodies. So, this Rabbink had removed that deficiency too."

"What?" Trevon didn't feel that was a deficiency.

"Yes, the fallen bodies you have encountered could infect other living organisms. They could spread the potion through biting or scratching. Therefore, they thinned their already thin potion on their body. The perfected formula couldn't spread since it is one hundred percent fused with the fallen bodies."

"That sounds weaker." Trevon argued.

"That is perfected. Can you imagine this? You get eternal servants. Do you like Auto?"

"Yes." Trevon had enjoyed the bot's services.

"This time, you could bring a dumber Auto anywhere."

"Wow!" Trevon could imagine telling fallen bodies to shop for him. [I will have them shop for my daily needs. Aya will no longer need to go to the market.]

"No. No. Remember fallen body couldn't speak. People would be afraid to meet one in the first place."

"Oh, yes. Then what I could do with it..." Trevon started to think.

"Many! For example, farming, caring your demon beast, and many more. This is cheating of cheating." Master Rabbink said.

"Wow!" Trevon felt he needed those. Many Celestial readers telling him to start farming.

"Yes. They are also strong. While you couldn't make them use spiritual energy attack, they couldn't be killed as long as your enemies don't purify them. They don't feel tired." Master Rabbink said.

[Not tired?] Trevon could imagine the usage. [I can make my table pointing into the next level. Hahaha.]

Master Rabbink looked with disdain to Trevon.

"Is you perfected fallen body can be used for fighting?" Trevon felt worried. [What if the designer was a peace-loving person?]

"Of course! This is a child of God's cheat. It would never be weak." Master Rabbink said.

"Good! Hahaha."

"However…" Master Rabbink cut Trevon's laugh.

"What?"

"They still can't use any spiritual energy attack. Also, you should be worried about Rank 3 warrior with Holy Core. They could purify using light elements. While Rank 4 warriors could just destroy the fallen bodies into particles. Even any Rank 3 warriors could stop your fallen body using their aura pressure. Nevertheless, you can mob Rank 3 warrior and free yourself from their aura."

"This is still expensive, Rabbink!" Trevon argued. The young master couldn't imagine the number of spirit stones he needed to pay to make an army.

"No. You only needed one drop for a human body. A big boar like you fought before would need only two drops. Even the Debt Collector also used diluted potions. The one on your body before is only worth ten core energies. You can use this vial to make an army of undying demon beasts."

Trevon looked into his vial. He could imagine a squad of around one thousand demon beasts. [It will be scarier than a real demon beast wave. Hahaha.]

"Then this is good." Trevon smiled. "How do I use it?"

"You pour your spiritual energy on it. After that, you only need to drop on a dead body. The fallen bodies would think you as their kings. You can order them anything. However, the fallen body must be able to do it. For example, you can't tell a boar to fly."

"Hmm… I don't plan to use human. How do I order them?" Trevon felt interested.

"Do you remember seeing the Debt Collector used a strange mystical martial art?" Master Rabbink asked.

"The blue light one?" Trevon remembered the Debt Collector in Downbridge family and in the Ironlaw family castle could do that.

"Yes. With that mystical martial art, you can control the fallen body."

"Don't tell me!"

"Yes! You must get it from the debt collector. Gwahahaha. Now, you have an extra reason to defeat the debt collector."

"Grr…" Trevon felt angry. He had spent huge money for nothing useful.

"Do not be unhappy! Think for the long term! You can start to collect the body for making your fallen body army."

[So, I should capture one and get the art from him. Where should I get some dead bodies? Wait!]

"Master Rabbink, why could the debt collector use this to a living person?"

"You haven't bought the other part. A poison is used to dilute the liquid. It is in the poison aisle."

"Poison?"

"Yes. The poison would absorb spiritual energy from a living being. It would then kill the living being. After one died because of the poison, the potion would infect the victim. This is a brutal strategy! Meanwhile, the poison and the potion would infect other victims. This created a chain of death."

Trevon felt a bit afraid with the effect. A single mistake might cost him his life. "That sounds dangerous."

"Yes. This potion is also a child of God level of treasure. You get two powerful things from the Debt Collector. Don't you think the reward worth the risk? Gwahahaha."

"I almost lost my life…" Trevon complained. "Is there any antidote?" He felt afraid. While he could sell the poison on his body using Auto's help. He had his family.

"Yes, there is."

"Can I unlock that?"

"Normally you can't. However, you have unlocked the poison in your store. So, this is the time for Master Rabbink's Mission again. Gwahahaha." Master Rabbink felt happy.

"Gulp…" Trevon didn't like the laugh of the Rabbink.

"Do you want it? Gwahahaha." Master Rabbink floated in front of Trevon. A dark shadow covered its cute face.
