Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 153 Vitality

By the time night fell, Adam had already climbed the steep mountain on the side of the valley and found himself a naturally made cave to stay for the night.

After organizing the inside of the cave and setting up a proper security and surveillance system, Adam glanced at the night sky in the secret plane in fascination.

There were no celestial bodies inside the secret plane. That meant, no sun, no moon, and not even stars. Despite that, there was a clear distinction between day and night in here.

"How interesting!" Adam stroked his chin as he gazed at the nighttime scenery.

Naturally, he was very curious about the mechanism of the day and night system here. He cast one last glance at the dark sky and then went back inside the cave, covering its entrance.

He started a fire and then sat down cross-legged on the ground. Valerian jumped down as well and looked at him excitedly. He stood on his hind legs and clenched his two paws.

"Myu! Myu!"

"Hehe, I know, I know." Adam chuckled and then brought out the colorful egg from his earring the next second.

The size of the egg was the size of an average adult human's head. Its eggshell was enveloped in layers of colors stacking atop one another, making it appear very appealing to the eye.

"Hmm, the old baboon said to consume it raw." Adam squinted his eyes. "But can I trust him though?"

He didn't doubt for a moment that the egg contained something toxic inside. After all, from the way the baboons were guarding that banyan tree, it seemed that it was something very precious to them.

What the youth was hesitating about was whether he should consume the egg raw, boil it, or scramble it.

"Myuuu!" Valerian got tired of waiting and called out impatiently.

"Haa… fine, fine." Adam sighed.

The next moment, a small knife appeared in his hand and he used it to cleanly cut the top portion of the egg. Then, he and Valerian looked at the contents of the egg and found that there was multicolored liquid inside that gave the aura of immense vitality.

Adam was stunned and he thought to himself, Such vitality could not even be found in healing potions! Just what the hell is this egg?

While he was deep in thought, Valerian had already lowered his head and stuck out his tongue, tasting the liquid inside the egg. However, the next moment, his face contorted and the fur on his body stood on end.

BLARGHHH!

The little fellow immediately puked it out and then proceeded to intensely rub his tongue with his tiny paws. He then glanced at Adam, his expression full of grievances.

"Myuuu…."

Adam's lips twitched, seeing Valerian make a face. "That bad, huh?"

Valerian nodded and then crossed his arms and looked away with a 'hmph'.

Seeing this, Adam couldn't help but chuckle. The little guy was used to eating cooked meat, so it would make sense that he would find raw eggs quite disgusting.

He brought his attention back to the egg and then dipped his finger inside. Seeing the gooey liquid on his finger, he hesitated only for a moment before giving it a taste.

Just like Valerian, the youth's face also contorted from the horrid taste, but the next moment, his eyes widened in surprise. He looked at the liquid inside the egg, involuntarily gulping in shock.

And the next moment, he downed the entire thing in one go!

Seeing this, Valerian felt as if he wanted to vomit again. Clearly, he didn't want anything to do with the egg. So he simply lay down by the fire and decided to take a nap instead.

Adam, on the other hand, after having consumed all the liquid inside the egg, immediately started to practice the breathing method of the Astral Tyrant Manual.

He realized that the liquid inside the egg had immense vitality, moreover, it also strengthened and fortified his physical body.

The egg's liquid, after entering Adam's body, magically transformed into a gaseous state and spread to every inch of his body. Wherever this gas passed, it greatly reinforced those areas.

It increased the quality of his blood, making it brim with vitality. Then, the gas proceeded to strengthen his internal organs, bones, muscles, and finally his skin.

This entire process took about half an hour. When Adam opened his eyes, he found that he was heavily perspiring. There were no outward changes in his body, however, he could feel the raw power coursing through his veins.

"This…" Adam was shocked. "Amazing!"

He couldn't believe that a single egg could bring about such changes. Although nothing happened to his mana, his physical body had improved to a great degree.

Suddenly, Adam realized something. His eyes lit up as he nodded. "No wonder all those baboons were so physically strong. All of them must have consumed at least one egg from the banyan tree."

Thinking of this, a trace of greed flashed across his eyes. "If I could get my hand on a few more eggs…"

However, he immediately shook his head and got rid of this stupid idea. Not to mention the drastically reduced utility of consuming an additional egg, just the fact that thousands of baboons guarding that egg tree was enough to change Adam's mind.

"I shouldn't get too greedy," The youth muttered. "I should be grateful that the old baboon even decided to give me this egg in the first place."

Having cleared his mind, Adam got to his feet and decided to practice a few moves of the Astral Tyrant Manual. Feeling the newfound power inside his body, he couldn't help but feel exhilarated.

He got into a horse stance and launched his fists at empty air.

His fists tore through the air, producing a crisp sound. Every time Adam punched, a visible ring of air appeared around his fists. Just the sound generated by his attacks was so loud that it caused the cave to vibrate.

As he was lost in his shadow practice, Valerian suddenly called out to him in irritation.

"MYU!!"

Adam stopped his actions and looked at the young dragon. "Huh? What is it, Val?"

Valerian pursed his lips and sent a mental transmission. 'Too loud! Me can't sleep!'

"Ah!" Adam scratched his head in embarrassment. "Hehe, I forgot about that."

He then sat down beside Valerian, placed him on his lap, and began stroking the fur on his back. "Okay, okay, go back to sleep."

Adam felt that the little guy being cooped up inside his spirit sea all the time could be a detriment. After all, Valerian was still an infant.

He needed to see more of the outside world, so Adam decided that he should stay out most of the time and only go back in cases of emergency.

Bening gently patted by Adam, the little guy purred and slowly shut his eyes, eventually falling asleep.
