"Brother Mobi, Do you know how to Process the Ingredient into the Balancing Pills ?", Altima questions Mobi, trying to see how capable his guardian is.
"Who Do you think i am ?!!", Mobi flashed and appear within Altima face, Giving him another critical strike of Face Attack.
"I am well equipped with Upgrading, Enhancing, Scanning and remodel Skills! I can even Restructure and Recreate lost recipe of anything as long I know what it is!, Feel my godlike Ability!", Mobi starts to explain how amazing he is until he is shot with another question from Altima.
"So, That's means if you never see or scan the item before, you couldn't come out with anything usable or Knowledgeable ?", Altima quickly shot his next question.
"Impossible! I am mighty and can do everything!", Mobi Explain himself short this time and gone into the Idle bracelet mode.
For the next few days, Altima take the initiative to Follow his father for the hunt for ingredients and foods. Although Wayne is Worried about his capability to protect his child, he still decided to bring Altima for at least once. As the Older generation says, " You can't Keep Spoon feeding your child, he will need to learn about how to handle himself anyway".
As the Father and Son readied to move out, Wayne wife bid them both safe journey, before slowly seeing both her son and Husband disappeared from her sight. While for Wayne and Altima, the Duo quickly journey along the forest, where after a total of 3 hours of walking, They finally reach one Shrub of Two Hanging Beanstalk Trees. From afar, a total of 3 Ironclaw Mole is seen sleeping below the Shrub of Grasses, while One more Younger Ironclaw Mole is seen running around.
"Look at the Tree, The younger the Beanstalk, The lower they will be Growing from the tree. If in this case, base on this two trees, we could get a harvest of around 8 Young Beanstalk and 2 Adult Beanstalk from it. The higher the Beanstalk grows, the older they are, If you take a look clearly in the Second row of the branches with leaves around the Tree, there is at least 10 Adult Beanstalk and around 2 Old Beanstalk, but due to the heights, we can overlook this loss. Let us leave it to be eaten by the other Beast instead.
Sometimes one loss will be another gain for us, that is why we can't be too greedy in our harvesting. This Hanging beanstalk tree is the main source of food for Ironclaw Moles, which could provide us with some underground Mandrake roots sometimes due to the Mandrake is not part of their diet foods. While for the older Beanstalk, A flying beast which ranges from grade 4 early practitioner to grade 8 Early practitioner of Zen Tier, Treat it as part of their Digestion Diets.
Through the Flying beast, Metal Beak Sparrow Droppings, we could easily obtain some rare treasures which are not digested in their stomach. Sometimes, some rare metal such as Liquid Iron, or Liquid Bronze could be obtained from the droppings. And also, a new Hanging Beanstalk Tree will grow from the spot they leave their droppings, so we could mark it and return after one to two years for some harvesting.
Meanwhile, for the Ironclaw Mole, Try to not totally Kill off all three of them, but leave them either injured or one left, so they could slowly recover or repopulate again. The Hanging Beanstalk Tree natural Enemies is an Underground Snake name Essence Devouring Snake. Although this snake is weak, with the ability of only Stage 2 Early Practitioner of Zen, they possess a strong Urge of Completely Eating up the Hanging Beanstalk Tree Roots, which will cause the Beanstalk tree to decay after a short while without any roots to grown and absorb nutrient from.
"Do you understand What I'm Explaining to you, my Child ?", Wayne checked on his son and notice that how smart his child is, to seem to understand and knows how to treat the natural resources they have.
"I will go forward, look at how your father fight and harvest, as you get older, you will need to help your father with this task!", Wayne smiled and withdraw the glove which seems to have different Plating and Stones embedded within.
As Wayne and the Ironclaw Mole met each other in eyes, Wayne immediately launch a series of Fist strike, added with a special footwork, which leaves the Ironclaw Mole failed to lay a hit on Wayne. Meanwhile, for Altima, He is shocked to see and recognise the footwork used by his father.
"This is.. The Movement of Ancient Tomb Sect that I mastered during my early years!", Altima manages to Recognise few steps within his father movement and manages to deduce that Her father is either utilizing a Variation of the Movement skills of Ancient Tomb Sect or perhaps unrefined version.

Meanwhile, for the Fist Style used by his father, would be a weaker variation of Kun Lun Sect (Ascending Dragon Fist). From the exchange of fist and claws between his father and the beast, Altima manage to deduce that his father most probably using only 2 Style instead of the Full 8 Style in the Ascending Dragon Fist Style.
As the exchange goes for a total of 10 Rounds, Altima's Father finally manage to defeat all 4 Ironclaw Mole, while Killing One and injuring the other 3 until they are not capable of resisting anymore. With a quick Jump and catch, Altima father manages to harvest a total of 8 young beanstalks, and 2 Adult Beanstalks. Next, the pair of father and son quickly retreat from the spot, leaving the Ironclaw Mole beast by itself.
"My Son, next, we will be heading towards the Vicinity where the Powder Flower Grows. They usually grow in places with many Huge trees, Which is where we are going now. For now, Wrap your Mouth and nose with this Double layered Cloth, so you won't accidently inhale any remains of the Powder Flower which spread around looking for germinating spots.", Wayne quickly had his son prepared before they proceed into the area where the Powder Flower grows.
In this area, the harvesting is pretty simple. By walking slowly and creating no wind to carry the Powder poison, the Flower have no means to float around looking for preys. Easily, Altima and Wayne manage to harvest a total of 14 Stem, Which Altima had tried himself on handling 4 out of the 14 Stems in their hand.
The Harvesting method are pretty simple, just look for any leftover stem which remains after the Powder Flower Spreads away, and Chop the Roots area to check on the Juiciness of the Stem. The more remains of Juices flow determine how good and fertile this stem will be during the concoction of the Balancing Zen Pills.
As the father and son couple finally finish their harvesting works, Wayne lead Altima along the way to the nearest town located outside of the Forest of Thousand Insects.
This town population are around 50,000. Due to the town is located close to the Thousand Insects forest, Many adventurers and cultivators try their luck in subduing some Insects, or perhaps some beast or medicinal ingredients in exchange for some money to enjoy their life. Prostitution and Adventurer guild are built all along the main street, while the Town Guards seem to be in their Peak 9th or 10th Stage of the Early Practitioner of Zen Tier, while the captains of the guards possess the qualification of 1st to 2nd stage of Warrior Practitioner of Zen Tier.
Following his father, Altima entered a huge Medicine Hall, which has plenty of Pills and medicine placed along its walkway for visitors to see and research before making their purchase. The walkway is bustling with customers talking and haggling for a cheaper price, while some people who are within the building for the intention of trading, use the path Altima is following now to the trading area, where the sight is even more hectic and rough compare to the outside of the Hall.
"Hi Wayne, here for the Trades again ?", One Employee greet Wayne as he saw him. Seems like this is an Acquaintance of his father.
"Hi Cacao, I would like to trade in this total of 8 Young Beanstalks and 2 Adults Beanstalks with 10 Stem of Powder Flower.", Wayne greets the employee with respect, and handover the total of 20 Items to this young adult name Cacao.
"Seems like you are having some great luck today, the Adult Beanstalks are in a very good quality, did you climb up on a try and try to fly to pick it ?", Cacao Jokes with Wayne, as the Adult Beanstalks are usually rare to be seen among the traders.
"I'm lucky to have seen 2 of them hanging about the Height of the Young Beanstalks.", Wayne replied, and looking at Altima, hoping that he could learn something from their conversation.
After the trade is completed, Wayne quickly Pocketed a total of 200 Copper coins, which next used to purchase some beast meat and good quality Food to bring home for the wife to prepare. While leaving the Medicinal Hall, Altima notices that the Balancing Zen Pill is sold for 200 Copper coin each.
"the Balancing Zen Pills is so Expensive!, Father literally gather a total of ingredient to refine 4 Basic grade Balancing Zen Pills and 1 Middle grade Balancing Zen Pills, but all he got from the exchange is only barely enough to buy 1 Basic Grade Balancing Zen Pills.", Altima Sigh, and felt that to survive in this world are pretty hard, due to the exchange rate between the ingredient and final product differs by so much.
