‘Yes, MP can be converted into [Qi] and [Spiritual Qi] as MP is the purest form of energy that the host’s body can handle.’

‘MP can be converted into [Qi] at a ratio of 1:700 but, due to the host practicing the [8 level of Qi forging technique, the quality of the host’s Qi is very high so the ratio is 1:20.’

‘MP can be converted into [Spiritual Qi] at a ratio of 1:10.’

‘It is advisable that the host does not convert MP into either [Qi] or [Spiritual Qi], as that can affect the speed of ‘Spiritual Qi’ absorption in the future and will hinder cultivation speed. It would be better if the host uses MP to replenish lost [Qi] or [Spiritual Qi] when in need or in battle.’

‘System Tip: Host can combine [Vital energy] and MP when the washing body as that will further strengthen the body.’

.

Hmm... so the MP can actually be converted. And according to the ratios:

1:20 ratio implies that 1 MP unit can be converted to 20 Qi units.

And 1:10 ratio implies that 1 MP unit can be converted to 10 Spiritual Qi units.

But what the system has said is also true.

If I convert MP to [qi] or [spiritual qi] then my body will not be familiar with the sensation of gathering and absorbing the [Spiritual qi] from the environment. And the efficiency to absorb [Spiritual] will not be high in the future. But luckily, the system gave me another tip. That is, I can combine the ‘Vital energy’ and MP.

In the Evolver stage, after the [Qi] and {Spiritual Qi] is combined and ‘Vital energy’ is produced, then the ‘Vital energy’ is imbued with 5 elemental attributes one at a time and the ‘Elemental imbued Vital energy’ is used to wash the body.

Sigh... looks like I have to see if there is anything worth trading with Armelia or Sheela. If not, I should make a trip to the human settlements and earn some ‘Low grade energy stones’.

I went to Sheela and asked her if she could loan me some ‘Low grade energy stones’ and luckily, Sheela readily agreed and gave 300 ‘Low grade energy stones’. My impression of Sheela increased by a small amount, but of course, I will still keep my guard against her.

300 might sound very low, but it is a good amount. 300 ‘Low grade energy stones’ is equal to 3-hundred thousand gold coins or 300 million Sikka. That's a huge amount for me, well at least for now it is.

[Author’s sarcasm: well, the MC is daydreaming about becoming rich in the future.]

Even if I was the grandson of Leon clan head, I was only given 20 ‘Low grade energy stones’ every month. It's not that the Leon clan is poor or miser. The reason is due to the lack of ‘Low grade energy stone’ mines.

Just like how there is a hierarchy between each power, like:

Empire > Kingdom > Country

Just like that, there is an uneven distribution of Spiritual Qi in the environment. And if in a place there is more Spiritual Qi, then the chances of forming a ‘Low grade energy stone’ mine is very high.

So, in the Empire, there is a huge number of ‘Low grade energy stones’ mines and it said that there are even a few ‘Middle grade energy stones’ mines. And from what I heard, the transactions that take place in the Empire are done through ‘Low grade energy stones’ only, and gold coins are rarely used.

As for the people in the country, due to lack of ‘Low grade energy stone’ mines, earning a ‘Low grade energy stone’ is already a privilege and if they want to get their hands on some, they have to pay hefty a price or exchange materials of equal value. Hence, cultivation in Empires is good while in Countries, it’s the opposite.

While the Leon clan, being one of the dominant forces in the Saurastra kingdom, it also owns few mines, but due to low production and high consumers, descendants like me used to get few ‘Low grade energy stones’ every month. It is already a great favor Sheela has done for me by giving me 300 ‘Low grade energy stones’, as I understand that even if the Lamia tribe is an affiliated tribe to the Urag royal family, the amount of ‘Low grade energy stones’ that it earns is equal to that of the Leon clan. And giving me these much is like putting pressure on their resources.

I just hope that these 300 ‘Low grade energy stones’ are enough for me to train my body until it is able to adapt to the characteristics of the ‘Spiritual qi’ available in the environment. Even if they are not enough, I have already prepared plan B, plan C, and Plan D.

The reason I did not trade anything with Sheela and instead loaned from her is like I said, I neither want to expose the ‘Inventory’ or the ‘Storage box’ to anyone.

When I was brought to the Lamia tribe, I did not have any storage devices and suddenly if I take out all these things, then I am bringing trouble upon myself. And that Sheela, has already looked into a few of my things.

.

After returning back to my room, I sat in a comfortable position and took out 2 ‘Low grade energy stones’, and started absorbing the ‘Spiritual Qi’ inside them.

The Evolver stage is divided into 4 levels: Low level, Mid level, High level, and Peak level.

In the Low stage of Evolver stage, the ‘Vital energy’ is produced and then imbued with Earth elemental attribute with the help of ‘Earth chakra or 1St chakra’. And then the ‘Earth element imbued Vital energy’ is used to wash the body and it results in strengthening the body. The process continues until the ‘Earth element imbued Vital energy’ is not able to strengthen the body any further. And at that stage, one can be said to have reached the peak of Low level Evolver stage.

And to step into the Mid level of the Evolver stage, it is not a difficult task, the only thing that has to be done is imbue ‘2nd chakra element- Water Element’ into the vital energy.

At the Mid level of the Evolver stage, the body has to be washed with two types of elemental imbued vital energy [Water and Fire].

And in the High level of Evolver stage, the body has to be washed with the remaining last two types of elemental imbued vital energy [Wind and the 5th element.]

As for the Peak of Evolver stage, the body has to be washed to be with all the 5 elements imbued vital energy.

I have not yet combined the 4 elements [Fire, Earth, Water, and Wind] to produce the 5th element, because the ‘Creation space’ is now used to create different elements and is related to the ‘Sorcerer job’.

But washing my body requires all 5 elements, so I decided to conduct a dangerous experiment on myself.

That is, instead of washing my body with only 5 elements, I decided to wash my body with more than 5 elements.

Before coming back to my room, I already visited Armelia and new information was unlocked by us from the brown book.

Unlike previous times, there was no superior technique or method. There were only a few tips that were related to how to cultivate and how the [8 levels of Qi forging technique] will make the washing of the body with vital energy more beneficial.

But there is one thing that I required the most, that is the guide or formula to ‘5th element Refining’. And luckily, I found it in the brown book.

As I said, 4 elements are the ingredient to create the 5th element. So, to create a product, a procedure and step should be known. And that is what I lacked.

Each Leon clan member chooses the ‘Metal’ element as the 5th element because they are a warrior clan and that is the reason Leon clan has many Metal element related skills, techniques, cultivation methods, etc. And since I was also a part of the Leon clan, I am most familiar with the refining ‘Metal’ as the 5th element, but I lack knowledge related to other elements.
