The journey started, and they were simply marching toward the Copperhead Village. The distance between those two villages was about week of walking. "Let"s search for clues and resources in meantime. I cannot f.u.c.king carry my slave to other village." It would arouse suspicion if they were seen and he could search for animals or minerals in meantime.
Joe was happy to visit his mother, previously he was rather unfilial son and his interest didn"t fell on village matters or blacksmithing. Currently, his mind and behavior were changed by Aron"s influence and seal. His mother will be definitely happy about this fact.
The white-haired boy used his extraordinary sight to search for anything precious or new in surroundings, still there wasn"t anything new.
"It"s time to cultivate…" He felt that he is close to reaching first stage of gluttonous demon physique, still eating huge amounts of food wasn"t funny. Leaving this like this will make him focus on only eating, his mind needed to find solution.
"I need to learn how to cook. It"s tiring to eat bland food every day!" System could allow him to become real chef and create delicious meals. Another thing was knowledge about nutrition and better ingredient combination.
Joe was taking care of task from his master, searching for unusual spots in ground and digging the holes. His goal was to search for new kinds of stones, getting basalt, limestone or marble will be great for sculpting.
"There are only plains and forest around…It would be great to find some mountains or water bodies." Finding the river would allow him to breed fish inside of s.p.a.ce, another advantage would be new kinds of plants. It was possible to create artificial lake near the village, it would open new professions for him and villagers.
During Joe"s absence Aron set small camp, and started cooking. In his previous life, he could rely on entire team of chefs to get best dishes in the world.

"It"s good. I might become great chef…" The future of being versatile person wasn"t so great, not being able focus on one field of work was pretty annoying.
His new plan a.s.sumed getting knowledge of a profession and pa.s.sing it to his subordinates. Getting teacher profession allowed him to write teaching materials about anything. Simple farming could be turned into the thick book.
"Subordinates are important. Even with time acceleration my time is limited…"There were too many things to reinvent in this world, so he couldn"t focus on useless things.
"Sometimes quality is more important than quant.i.ty." It was more like quality should be always important than quant.i.ty. There were some fields that didn"t follow any rule and quality wasn"t important at all for them.
The dish was grilled chickens, vegetable soup and berry juice. It was good enough, still it was crude as no seasoning was added and all of taste came from original ingredients.
"I need secure spices! I can use some herbs, still I lack knowledge!" Some herbs could be used as spices, originally most of spices are herbs and it was processed by human. Pepper was one of plants and its seeds were spicy. Some plants were dried, some grinded and some added raw. All things were created by experimenting, simple plants could bring the best from dish. There was risk of combining two plants into poison, and cuisine similarly to science couldn"t improve without experiments.
The meal was prerequisite of training, food was quickly ingested and turned into energy. His body was slowly refined by this energy part by part, it wasn"t easy process. The process was similar to muscle building, you need to first destroy muscle cells to build stronger ones. It took big amount of pain and effort to succeed in refining body into first stage of Gluttonous Demon Physique.
"I FEEL IT! FEW MORE MINUTES! AND I WILL BREAKTHROUGH!" It was feeling of pus.h.i.+ng door, and those doors were partially closed. Using brute force, it was possible to open those doors.
BOOM! Pain ended and it was replaced by feeling of endless energy streaming into his veins.
"ARGHHH!" Aron needed to unleash this energy on something or his body will explode.
BOOM! He started to pound nearby tree with his fist, and every punch contained power of 10 men and tree began to crumble.
Bang! Tree fell on the ground with loud sound. Aron still was filled with energy, so he continued his rampage on another tree.
Half hour later.
The energy could be controlled and he sat on the ground to calm himself. His arms were little sore and his fist in pain, still all of his bones were intact.
"My skeleton was reinforced. My body hard like stone." The strength increase was always good thing, and he felt happy about getting this method.
Grumble! Suddenly, his happiness was interrupted by hunger.
"I need to FIND SOMETHING TO EAT!" The gluttony wasn"t a joke, and those demons could eat 10 times of their weight and still feel hunger. Aron rushed to leftovers of his cooking and consumed everything in haste, this hunger was simply too overwhelming.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
It wasn"t near enough to satiate his desire, and he entered the s.p.a.ce and started to devour food inside of his storage.
"Ohh…It"s over…" This insane hunger stopped after consuming food for hour, Aron found out another problem.
The ordinary food couldn"t be turned into energy anymore, and it was too inefficient.
"I need to find a way to resolve this…" His thoughts fell on Brenda, and spiritual creatures should be more nutriment than ordinary animals. Brenda was pregnant before evolution and piglets didn"t come out yet. Killing her off for meat was a waste, he needed to control his urges until there will be more spiritual animals.
"I could always go hunt! This wolf is spiritual animal for sure…" One things separated him from hunting down the monster from the woods. It was too strong for current him, rus.h.i.+ng at it would be courting death.
"I will preserve with ordinary food…I won"t be able to cultivate to another stage for a while. Still it"s better than losing things." His food supply was almost infinite, so he didn"t need to worry about starving. The only thing was his world energy will be converted slower, side effect of demonic appet.i.te.
