The Fist Clan had three martial groups: Guards, Warriors, and Hunters.Guards primarily stayed inside the clan’s territory and dealt with any conflicts with the neighboring clans or inside tumult. Jack was the captain of the guards. He was an expert realm cultivator.Warriors, on the other hand, acted as escorts or merchants or traders depending on the situation and necessity. Captain Benny who died while returning home with the Perennial Power Herb was the captain of the warriors, and he was also an expert realm cultivator.Hunters, however, mainly focused on hunting beasts and foraging herbs. They would explore the wilderness most of the time. The captain of the Hunter Squad was 'Phantom Tracker'Jiro, who was also in the expert realm, but he was just a step away from reaching the master realm.Also, Jiro was like a sworn brother of Warren. They were really close, but ever since Gunnar attacked the Woodwork clan and lost his legs, Jiro had kept his distance.Now, Gunnar was supposed

“Did some distinguished guest visit? Is that why she wanted the bird meat?” Gunnar entered the backyard and grabbed the butcher’s knife.He was about to cut its neck, but Bessy took the knife from him. “Move!”She poured aura into the sword and expertly removed the bird’s feathers first and then finely chopped the bird to pieces.In less than a minute, she was done.Gunnar stood in a bit of a shock. He had seen people cut meat fast before, but Bessy’s way was quite unconventional and fast.“I knew she was good at foraging herbs, but she’s also a good hunter, huh…” Gunnar thought.Bessy boiled the blind bird meat in a pot for almost ten minutes.She did everything herself.From chopping the onions, tomatoes, and refining the herbs before cooking them, she did not let Gunnar do a thing, except hand her items when she asked him to.Gunnar was all eyes.He had seen his mother cook many times, but Minerva cooked like a normal person. Bessy, however, did it with style.Gunnar liked that.Gu

At the base of the blind mountain.On the eastern side of it, a group of five men arrived there. They were dressed up normally, but they were holding the flags of the Fist clan.“We were told to kill a few birds and then disappear.”“Let’s spread out and kill a dozen birds.”As they were about to act, they stopped and looked up.Three people came down from the sky and landed before them. They were the three people who had eaten meat at Bessy’s home.“Are you here to hunt the birds, too?” the lady asked with an amused expression. “I will pay you if you can cleanly kill ten of those birds and bring their bodies to me.”“Who do you bastards think we are?!” the leader of the group yelled. “We’re part of the Moonlight Merchant Warrior group!”The lady flicked her finger, and the left arm of the leader burst to pieces.Terrified, the leader screamed in horror and fell to his knees.The other men behind him pissed their pants immediately. After all, their leader was an expert cultivator, and

A long-legged rat leaped at Yasira.She used a four-forked claw-like weapon to clash with the rat, dealt enough injuries to it and made it retreat.By then, Yasira was huffing and puffing.Her bodyguard was injured on her thigh.“Can you walk?” Yasira asked.“I-I can, but I think I will slow you down,” the female bodyguard replied. “You should go and find the herb without me.”“What nonsense are you spouting?” Yasira helped her get up.“We’re coming across long-legged rats left and right,” Samuel stated. He had short hair and a long chin. “That means the chances of black onion being nearby are high. Your bodyguard will only slow us down, so why don’t you let her rest here?”“We can’t just leave her alone on this mountain,” Yasira barked with annoyance.Samuel smirked. “You are being stubborn, Young Lady.”“If you don’t like it, you can leave. I’ll find the herb myself,” Yasira said and left with the bodyguard.Samuel forced out a smile and followed her.Samuel’s bodyguard was looking

Gunnar returned to Cobbo’s home through the backyard.It was already dark by then, but he sat down by a candle lamp and started researching on the face cream using the nine ingredients he had.“Though I don’t have the tenth one, it should be fine. What I need is a skin softening effect that will make people look good.”Gunnar had to flip many pages in different books. The candles ran out, so he lit up an oil lamp instead. The oil was derived from the fats of the beasts just like with the candle wax.Gunnar had personally mixed many herbs and tried on himself before. So, he was no slouch when it came to discerning the quality of a certain herb and its uses and side effects.After hours of research, Gunnar made progress.The next morning.Cobbo woke up and came to the backyard to brush his teeth and feed the chickens, but to his surprise, four small boxes were put on the table.There was paper under these boxes.“I made four samples with their recipes,” Gunnar wrote on that paper. “You
