nNing could feel the power coursing through his body as he reached Qi Condensation 3rd Realm. It was just a cultivation realm's worth of difference, but the difference was massive.

nIf as a Qi condensation 2nd Realm cultivator, he could handle another Qi Condensation 2nd Realm cultivator, as a Qi Condensation 3rd realm cultivator, he could handle 5 of Qi Condensation 2nd realm cultivators.

nThat was how much the strength his body had gone up by.

nUnfortunately, it had zero effect on his physical body itself and could only make his body stronger by putting Qi into it.

nIt was early morning, so he left his room and went to the training ground to cultivate his body. Once he was done with the body, he trained his spear and claw technique a bit.

nThe movement technique was a little too embarrassing to try in public.

"I look like a frog jumping with both my feet at once,

" he thought.

nOnce he was done, he didn't return to his room right away, and instead went to the Beasts ground. The beasts were all kept at the same place and the group would circulate throughout the day.

nNing went to the place and met Rekiel, who was there before him.

n

"Oh, hello brother. I was worried you were going to forget your tasks,

" Rekiel said.

n

"Oh, good morning. I am not late, am I?

" Ning asked.

n

"Oh no. I came early so that I can teach you the ropes around here. This is your first time after all,

" Rekiel said. He took Ning inside the beast grounds and showed the different beasts that were being kept in their own different areas.

n'This reminds me of a zoo. One that I will have to work in again,' Ning thought.

n

"Alright, we start here, with the birds. These birds only eat different seeds, these ones need meat, and these ones eat whatever they can get. We usually give them the leftover food as an extra cause they will eat it up.

"

nRekiel started talking as he showed the different birds in the place all separated by big cages. The scary ones were kept in cages of their own.

nThankfully, most of them were just infants or young birds so they didn't have to worry about the birds being very strong.

n

"Alright, try feeding them,

" Rekiel said as he took out a bucket of grains from his storage bag and handed it to Ning.

n

"Okay,

" Ning said and took the bucket. He looked for an opening to go in and put the grains of some feeding place, but he couldn't see any place open to enter right now.

nThe only door to the enclosure was locked with a really big padlock. So, He took out a handful of seeds and tried to put his hands through the enclosure to feed it little by little.

nPAT

nSuddenly, Rekiel hit his hand. Ning reflexively brought back his arms and asked,

"what's wrong?

"

n

"What are you trying to do? Feed them little by little? You want to stay here forever?

" Rekiel asked.

n

"Then, is there an opening I can go in from? The only door has a padlock in it,

" Ning said.

n

"No, you simply just throw the grains in,

" Rekiel said.

n

"Sorry what? Throw the grains in?

" Ning was shocked.

"But won't that cause a mess in there? The place would be filled with feathers and defecations. We can't throw the food anywhere we want.

"

n

"Don't worry about that. The place is tidy clean. The beast care people are no slouchers. They clean all the dirt and trash from the enclosure, including the bird's feathers and defecations. So…

" Rekiel said as he took the bucket from Ning's hands and hurled the contents inside the enclosure, scattering it everywhere.

n

"…we just do that,

" he finished his sentence. At the same time, the birds flew from where they were perched and came down to eat all the grains in the ground.

n

"Come, they will finish eating that soon. We have a lot more work to do,

" Rekiel said as he brought him along.

nIt was the same for the carnivorous birds as well. The only difference was, instead of throwing all the meats at once, they were spread around equally so that not one beast could eat it all.

nAs for the omnivorous, they got some grains this time, along with a bunch of food that was leftover from yesterday in the sect. Ning hadn't been to the place where they ate yet, but he knew about it.

n'I will go try the food there once I have some money,' he thought.

nThe rest of the places were the same. Most beasts were separated by food, species, ranking, and cultivation base. If they were deemed too dangerous to be around other beasts then they were kept in their own single enclosure.

nNing went around with Rekiel, totally dumbfounded at how easy it was to feed the different beasts. Only in one or two places did he have to actually stop for more than a minute to feed the beasts inside.

nOtherwise, it was just Go to the place, take out the food, throw in the food and leave. If he were to do this when he was working in the zoo, he would be fired on the very first day.

n

"Is this the way everyone before you did as well?

" Ning asked Rekiel.

n

"Yeah, it was always this easy. That was why so many people came to join us. If not for sister Soria scaring them away as time went on, we would have way more people working here. That would've been very bad for us,

" Rekiel said.

nIn about 40 to 45 minutes, they were done feeding the beasts. Ning was surprised at how easy and fast it was. 'Damn, getting 100 coins for doing this 6 times a week is a blessing,

" he thought.

n

"Alright, come to the hall today around 2 and I will give you the food to feed for the rest of the 2 days,

" Rekiel said and left Ning to go do his own thing.
