Chapter 364 A Meal
Time passed very quickly. The sky started to change colour. Darkness gradually replaced the setting sun.

[Mission Complete!]
Sub-mission : Slay 3 nascent beasts (Success)
Reward: You have received 50 points and 50 magical bonuses
---
The mission-accomplishment window popped up in front of Bai Chen.
He was panting heavily with exhaustion. In front of him was the corpse of another villainous deer. It was the third one that he’d killed.
“The sub-mission was actually tough.” Bai Chen sighed and glanced up at the sky.
Seeing the sky was turning dark, he realised that he had to go.
He was going back to the cave where earlier, he had attained this cultivator ability. He had chosen to make that cave his temporary campsite, since he did not plan to leave the forest anytime soon.
He thought that he would not go anywhere until he reached the formation realm. Only the strongest survived in the celestial world. He could die at any time if he was not strong enough!
Bai Chen did not waste any more time. He scooped the deer up onto his shoulders and took it with him for that night’s dinner.
Even thought it was a beast, its meat was edible. The meat was actually tastier than normal animals. It could strengthen the body better, too.
“Rather heavy.” Bai Chen’s lips twisted a little. This villainous deer was both hard to kill and heavy.
After he got it onto his shoulders, Bai Chen started to walk back to the cave.
Even though it was nighttime, the moonlight lit the path.
Bai Chen spent half an hour getting to the cave.
As soon as he reached the hall, he hurriedly put the deer down, since his shoulders were starting to go numb.
“No lights, no knife,” Bai Chen muttered softly to himself inside the dark cave.
He thought for a while about what to do next. Then, he realised something and quickly scooped the deer up again. He walked back to the entrance.
Bai Chen put the deer down and walked into the forest. Shortly after that, he walked back out with dry leaves, sticks, and husks.
It was obvious what Bai Chen wanted to do. He wanted to light a fire using a traditional method. He would rub the sticks and husks together until a fire was sparked.
Half an hour later, Bai Chen was sitting by a bonfire, roasting the villainous deer.
He’d spent several minutes lighting the fire. After that, he quickly looked for more sticks to spit-roast the deer.
Bai Chen did not have a knife, so he roasted it whole.
“I currently have 840 magical bonuses. I just need 160 more to get a high-grade item.”
Bai Chen talked to himself while waiting for the deer to be cooked.
To be honest, he actually expected a lot from the high-grade item that he would get. It would be great if it turned out the same as what he’d seen in the memories, since it would help him a lot.
However, now everything was uncertain. Bai Chen was not sure if the high-grade item he would get would be the same.
Bai Chen looked up at the sky. It was full of stars. The moonlight still shone around him.
‘It’ll be a long time before I can go back,’ Bai Chen thought and sighed.
His future self had spent as many as 500 years to become the victor of the war. Even with these memories, he would still need to spend a large amount of time, too. It might not take him that long, but it would definitely be long.
Shortly after that, Bai Chen could smell roasted meat.
He looked at the deer and realised that it was all done. He grabbed a sharp rock from in front of the cave and cut the meat with it.
Bai Chen only cut a medium-sized piece.
Once he did that, Bai Chen did not hesitate to put it into his mouth and chew. Then, his eyes sparkled.
“Delicious!” Bai Chen could not help but say this. It was very good, even without seasoning.
Either because of his hunger or its taste, Bai Chen quickly chomped down as if he would not have a chance to eat anymore.
..................................................
The next day was the second day that Bai Chen was in the celestial world. He meditated to absorb the celestial qi into his body and strengthen his cultivator foundation.
However, leveling up was not at all easy.
Bai Chen spent five hours meditating. He finally opened his eyes. He seemed satisfied.
It was obvious that he had gotten a lot stronger, yet it was not enough for him to level up to the secondary stage.
Actually, even though a nascent cultivator was considered a cultivator, he was not that much stronger than a mere human.
Such a cultivator was only slightly stronger than a normal person, merely strong enough to be able to beat the nascent beasts.
Bai Chen got up. He felt like he was a bit stronger than yesterday. It was only a little, but it was still progress. That was why he was satisfied.

[Sub-mission : Slay 5 nascent beasts]
Description : You have to kill 5 nascent beasts
Reward for success: Win 60 points + 60 magical bonuses
---
Seeing this, Bai Chen did not hesitate to start the mission.
With his strength right now, it would not be difficult to kill 5 primary nascent beasts.
Actually, it was fairly easy. He only had to kill them one by one, like what he had done yesterday.
One was tough and he’d have to spend some time on it, but it would not be complicated. This sub-mission would not be a problem for Bai Chen.
