18 Visiting Trada (1/2)
The next day came by quickly as the first sun rose above the mountain peaks. All the gorillas woke up to find a mountain of cores in front of the tossing and turning Rathe. Finally giving in to his need to get up, Rathe said, ”Take what you need and start cultivating. If at least two of you can't enter the divine class with this, then you don't deserve to serve under the mighty Rathe.”
Without hesitation, the gorillas began to grab for their piece of the proverbial pie.
Cultivators could use different materials to help them get better results, and the best was absorbing the energy from the core of another cultivator since the energy stored within has already been condensed and concentrated. Of course, since each cultivator's essence type was different, so were their cores. But since the Saber-tooth Baboons shared essence types with the gorillas, this didn't matter as long as they made sure to absorb energy from a core of their same level.
If they tried to absorb energy from a higher leveled core, they may cause damage or even destruction to their own core. Luckily, the cores were constantly emitting energy and were easy for people at the same rank to sense, that way practitioner level cultivators used practitioner level cores, adept level cultivators used adept level cores, and so on.
Ania approached the pile of cores and grabbed an armful, taking a bunch back to Oli who sitting in the nest still. ”Here, these will be for your future cultivation. This way you'll always have materials.”
”But Mom, aren't these cores for everyone?” Oli didn't like the idea of claiming too many for himself at the cost of the clan not having much.

”Nonsense! They all want you to grow, just like I do. Not to mention, it was your father that killed every one of those baboons, so you'll have to take his share as well,” Ania said forcefully. ”With this, your cultivation will have steady growth, especially since you're almost ready to form your first core. Also, I'll need some of these for myself if I'm going to make a breakthrough.”
Oli couldn't disagree with that logic, so he agreed and accepted the cores.
Ania then picked up two peak-elder cores and began to walk away when she stopped and said, ”Oh, and don't forget to return the egg to its mother Oli. And didn't she want to speak with you and give you something? Make sure not to offend her like the last dragon.”
”Mom!” Oli whined after hearing Ania's last remark before he grabbed the egg and hurried away before she could embarrass him more.
Ania smiled when she saw this, thinking to herself, ”He is just like you Dioro, looking out for those weaker than him, even in the face of danger. He's your son.” She chuckled and walked towards Dioro's grave, anxious to train there in peace.
Some of the gorillas noticed that the three perennial cores were missing and made a quick search through the camp to find them. Soon they found one under Vloz's paw and the other two wrapped in Rathe's sleeping arms.
