My bloodline is so eager to improve.

Of course, Joel was included.

Just as Tessa was gathering intelligence on the other party, the Magic Ape brought Sabrina's information because it had gotten close to the girl.

The magical ape discovered Sabrina's extraordinary profession.

You have received information from the Green Scout.

[Tier 1 - Extraordinary: Green Scout (1/5)]

Those who have reached the pinnacle of their cultivation can increase their agility and spirit attributes.

[Professional Combat Skill: Simulated Vanguard]

[Can summon vines from within the body, which can be transformed into various weapons; the vines can extend up to fifteen meters in length.]

[Blessing: The Seed of Disease]

[A rare blessing that can only be obtained from the goddess Entana after coexisting with a certain negative element.]

This blessing can be implanted into any living being, and depending on the caster's level and the symbiotic negative elements, it can induce various chaotic phenomena.

[Job Requirements: Summon the goddess, accept Entana's trials, and those who pass the trials can take the job.]

The Magic Ape's assessment of the Green Scout was: It was of the same quality as the Fire Seed.

[The Magic Ape warns you that it's best to stay away from this vile parasite; she reeks of misfortune!]

Seeing the warning from the Magical Ape, Otto naturally became wary.

Although the Magic Ape can even perceive the blessings of others after its transformation, Otto discovered that the Magic Ape seems unable to detect blessings that have already been consumed.

After all, according to Tessa, transformation should be considered a blessing, and Sabrina clearly used this blessing to undergo a complete transformation.

But just as Otto was pondering this, Sabrina had already stopped in her tracks.

"We've arrived."

A decaying giant tree stood in the middle of the valley.

The giant tree showed no signs of life and was clearly dead.

But this is the reward Sabrina was referring to.

"The descendants of a divided spirit are also divided spirits."

Although the divided spirit has died and returned to its original body, its body has remained, making it a decent source of material.

As Sabrina spoke, she began collecting the usable parts.

These containers, nurtured by the spirit of the earth, often contain wondrous objects.

Sure enough, with Sabrina's movement, a tree branch with green light spots wrapped around it was cut off.

“There are still many more materials available; feel free to use them.”

After giving a brief explanation to the three of them, Sabrina immediately began her collection.

As for Goren, seeing this, he naturally did not hesitate and immediately followed Sabrina.

While gathering materials, Goren unexpectedly discovered a pottery jar.

"What is this?"

The pottery jar that Goren found was buried at the foot of the giant tree.

He carefully dug out the pottery jar and placed it on the table.

This earthenware jar looks unremarkable, but it is inlaid with some kind of white metal.

On this piece of white metal, there is also a strange pattern.

It was a single eye, and a fang was branded into it!

"The barbarian god Grak!"

Otto was very familiar with this mark.

Clearly, it was someone who used the barbarian god Grak and this pottery jar to create the carnivorous vine based on the black water vine and the descendants of the elemental spirits!

"Let me purify this thing."

As the only adventurer among the four with the ability to purify, Otto felt that he was the most suitable person to handle the clay pot.

The other three naturally had no objection to this. They immediately handed the pottery jar to Otto and then paid no further attention, continuing to harvest materials.

But after Otto got his hands on the ceramic pot, the previously silent black cat unexpectedly became lively.

The black cat hopes you can find a cemetery to purify the terracotta pot. With the help of the cemetery's space and the items inside, it might undergo a transformation.

This hint surprised Otto.

Following the transformations of the monkey and the white dog, the next one to undergo a transformation is surprisingly the black cat!

This is understandable, as Otto fed almost all the bloodline marks he collected to his animal friends, especially these little guys who hadn't yet undergone their metamorphosis.

Otto's efforts have finally paid off.

With that in mind, Otto immediately put the pottery jar away, intending to purify it later.

He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately joined the team harvesting materials.

Looking at the branches emitting green light, Tessa, who was tapping the trunk, was curious about their purpose.

Goren knew quite a bit about this.

Goren used to be an apprentice for Michael in a forging workshop, so he has a good understanding of many materials.

"These are fragments left behind by the spirit of the earth, rich in earth elements."

The longer part can be used as a spear or lance.

The shorter sections can be used as material for arrows.

Even the damage from weapon manufacturing can be ground into powder and sold to alchemists.

These are all treasures; we can't waste them!

But just as Goren was explaining the uses of these materials, a powerful surge of magical energy suddenly appeared nearby.

Goren turned sharply to look at Tessa, only to find that she had taken a sphere filled with bright green light from the tree.

"Hehe, our 'Beast King' is Tree Heart!"

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Gordon's Dream

Goren discovered that the heartwood was well-preserved and would fetch a good price if it were put up for auction.

"When the time comes, we'll go to Silverfrost City and find a good buyer for this tree heart."

Goren thought that since Otto came from the countryside and Tessa was a priest who came with Eileen on a business trip, they probably had never been to Silverfrost City before, so this might be an opportunity.

However, Goren's mention of Silverfrost City stirred up some of his own memories.

"To be honest, I always wanted to be a baker back then."

After organizing the materials, Sabrina said goodbye to the three, while Goren, along with two novice adventurers, began preparing for camping while chatting about his past dreams.

"At the time, Lillian wanted to be a chef and open a restaurant, and I wanted to be her baker."

At that time, there was a bakery in our town, and I would work there from time to time.

It was there that I learned how to get a job at Iron Fist.

Goren said leisurely as he prepared the ingredients.

"At that time, there was a homeless man who had lost both arms and made a living by scavenging through the garbage in town every day."

I figured my cooking skills weren't that great anyway, and we had so many failed attempts that Maika and I couldn't finish them all, so I just gave some bread to the homeless man.

After all, I earned all of these breads with my wages, so I hope they can come in handy.

I didn't expect to gain anything from it.

As Goren said this, a hint of regret appeared on his face.

Otto, standing to the side, felt that it was probably not an easy story.

Sure enough, after setting the pot on the stove to cook the soup, Goren continued to mutter.

"At that time, I knew almost nothing about the so-called martial arts masters and Qi sects."

Then one day, that homeless man suddenly found me.

He didn't say anything, he just tossed me a booklet.

Not long after, the town's guards found the homeless man dead in his wooden hut.

According to the guards, he had severe internal injuries that he could manage on sunny days, but became incapacitated as winter approached.

However, at this point, Goren changed the subject, casually stirring the soup pot as he spoke.

"Speaking of which, the language in that book seems to be that of some kind of hybrid race."

I couldn't even learn the language of the Kingdom of Thorne back then, so I didn't recognize it. It was Mr. Michael who helped translate it.

It was also with Mr. Michael's help that I learned about martial artists and Qi masters.

The methods and conditions for joining Iron Fist were recorded at the end of that booklet.

Actually, all three of us tried, but unfortunately, it seemed that only I had any expertise in physical combat.

Upon hearing this, Tessa, who had already removed her plate armor, asked curiously.

"Didn't the members of the Dragonbreaker Squad have the Lighthouse Archon examine them back then?"

Upon hearing this, Goren simply chuckled and waved his hand helplessly.

"The Order of Lights, which is responsible for guiding lost people, does have that ability, but we didn't have much money back then."

"Master Michael's squad was hit by a plague outbreak at the time, and they were struggling just to prepare dinner for us. How could they possibly have the extra money to have the bishop examine us?"

As he spoke, Goren divided the cooked meat soup among the two of them and took out a lot of bread from his storage pocket.

According to Goren, he made all the bread.

"Actually, Lillian and I have already discussed it. After Master Michael fulfills his wish, we will leave Oak Town and open our own small shop in Silverfrost City."

Seeing the relieved look on Goren's face, Tessa simply nodded.

"I'll be leaving after Eileen's shift here is over."

Tessa had come to learn from Eileen; in fact, it could be said that Eileen brought Tessa, a novice priestess, along to reduce the likelihood of being viewed with suspicion by those with ulterior motives.

Once things are settled here, Tessa will also leave the Dragonbreaker.

Clearly, the Dragon Slayers will soon disband for their own reasons.

As for Otto, he had always intended to continue being an adventurer, but he still felt a little regretful after hearing that the Dragonbreaker might disband. After all, it's not easy to find such a compatible partner.

The three of them sat around the campfire, and after completing the necessary sacrificial rituals, they chatted and rested, their relationship growing much closer.

The next morning, Goren, who was on the last shift, woke the two of them up again.

Clearly, Tessa hadn't changed her bad habit of keeping Otto's armor very warm.

This made Tessa a little depressed. She made up her mind that when she got back, she would definitely throw away her cushion. She couldn't let things continue like this!

However, Tessa also found it a bit strange. She had ventured into the wild before, but she had never used other people as body pillows.

Thinking of this, Tessa looked curiously at Otto, who was washing up beside her.

Otto found a puddle, scooped up a small amount of water, and splashed it on his face.

But looking at the water droplets clinging to Otto's hair and his slightly indifferent black eyes, which were still half asleep, a word involuntarily came to Tessa's mind.

Tempt.

But when Tessa realized what she was thinking, she blushed and shook her head, as if denying something.

"I have resolved to obey the commandments and become a priest who serves my Lord!"

But Tessa couldn't help but think that, according to the temple's laws, if the other party was also a believer, then there would be no obstacle.

Thinking of this, Tessa seemed to calm down a lot. She simply cleared her throat and slowly walked to Otto's side with a business-like smile on her face.

"Sir adventurer, do you have time?"
