The Escape (2)

It was difficult finding cultivators with their own specializations, most tend to focus on the general desire of becoming a powerful immortal that could blow people away—literally in most cases. Long gone were the times where people pursued immortality with a sense of spiritualistic notion. Very few people followed asceticism and other Buddhist methods of ascension.

Except possibly for the monks.

Either way, cultivation has become something that was more brutal. A method of gaining power and influence. Perhaps that was always the way it was? Liu Guiren had no words to offer to it as his knife sank into the rare cut steak of the Nian Beast.

He brought the small cut into his mouth and tasted its rather tender flavor that was almost contrary to what one might have thought of flesh. The umami was there though and so was the essence of the sea.
