The Medallion

It was fortunate that few people would come deep into the thick bamboo forest. Otherwise, they would be shocked to see what had happened there.

After learning the Magical Evaluation Skill for about a month, Rocky was able to master the first grade of the skill, enough to help him know the quality and star level of most animals. But until now, he was still not able to tell the star level and quality of Uriah, whose power was much stronger.

He had learned a lot about the skill, telling apart the quality of spirit-manipulated beasts. But these royal spirit manipulators that he lived with would not lend any beasts to him as yet. Besides, Mia forbade him from going out of the dragon field. They denied him a chance to use what he had learned recently.

Besides the Magical Evaluation Skill, Rocky had also cultivated with the magical saliva for one month. His strength had reached the fourth grade of the Mortal Stage from the third grade, which was a significant improvement. Now, he didn't need to dilute the magical saliva. Instead, he could drink it directly because his body could absorb it more readily.

The magical saliva and daily exercise helped much in rebuilding his body. Just last month, he was very weak. Nobody would have expected him to make such big strides in a matter of weeks. At the beginning, he had been but a skinny boy, unlike the fine young man he now was.

Most importantly, Uriah spat four drops of the magical saliva daily, rather than three drops. Rocky used one drop every day and saved the other three in the bottle. Now, he had three bottles of the magical saliva. He had a plan. If he could meet Marcia again, he'd ask for an exchange of the spiritual crystals with the magical saliva.

"I need to go back for a while. You had better stay here quietly. Don't run all the time. I'll only be away for a short time," he told Uriah, who was sitting by, quietly enjoying his meal.

Uriah turned back and growled in reply, only for a moment before going on happily with his meal.

Shortly after, Rocky left the bamboo forest, heading straight to his room, where he met Flint. As Flint entered the room, he nodded to acknowledge Rocky politely. During the month, they hardly spoke to each other, since Rocky mostly stayed in the forest. They rarely met.

Meeting in the room today was by coincidence, as Flint too had come back to take his Cloud Tiger for a walk.

had helped the cooks before. During the month, whenever he came back, he would gladly help them with chores. So Jerry and the other cooks were so fond of him and enjoyed having him around. It also gave his opportunity to get some vegetables for Uriah, who had lately eaten so much raw meat that it got Rocky worried.
