131- Hah! I Did Not Waste All Those Years [1]

‘ding’

‘Host has washed the body 10 times and reached the peak of the Low level of Evolver stage’

‘Any further washing the body with earth elemental attribute vital energy will not increase any stat but it can improve affinity with the Earth element.’

.

Well, this is also a good thing for me. With this feature, my affinity with the Earth element will keep on increasing and the Earth level skills, spells, techniques, and cultivation methods will be more effective.

After washing my body 10 times with ‘MP-vital Energy’; my ‘Strength’, ‘Agility’, ‘Defense’, ‘Resistance’, ‘Sense’, ‘Intelligence’, and ‘Stamina’ stats have increased by 300 points.

And also, two hidden abilities got upgraded.

The first hidden ability is related to Sense stat and MP. According to the new upgrade, I will recover 5 MP per second. And previously it was 1 MP per second. While this is good news, but the bad news is related to the...

Seconds hidden ability that got upgraded. It is related to Intelligence stat and MP. Previously, for every increase of Intelligence stat by 1 point, the MP limit would increase by 50, but now it’s 100. And my MP limit is now at 67,000; which should also be good news but... if I want to continue exchanging MP for ‘Free stat points’ then I will have to exchange 6700 MP for 1-3 ‘Free stat points’.

This might not feel like a loss when compared to 67,000 MP and 5 MP per second, but one must remember clearly that 6-8 months ago my MP limit was only around 5000 and I used to 500 MP for 1-3 ‘Free stat points’. But now??...Sigh...

Anyway, putting this matter behind, I prepared to wash my body with the second element- Water

Just for washing the body with earth element ‘MP-Vital energy’, almost 1000-1200 ‘Low grade energy stones’ worth ‘Spiritual Qi’ was absorbed. And in the process, from the original 300 ‘Low grade energy stones’ decreased to 200 ‘Low grade energy stones’ but luckily, I managed to convert 50 ‘Low grade’ to ‘Medium grade energy stones’.

Although, the number of ‘Low grade energy stones’ dropped, but I got 50 ‘Medium grade energy stones’ which is more than enough to make up for the number of energy stones lost.

[Author’s note: For those who are wondering how did the MC convert Low grade energy stones to Medium grade Energy stones... then please check the last few chapters.]

1 ‘Medium grade Energy stone’ is worth 100 ‘Low grade energy stones’ and it also contains 100 times more spiritual energy than a single ‘Low grade energy stone’. That means it has almost 10,000 units of [Spiritual Qi].

So, the numbers have decreased but the quality has increased.

But the only problem is, [Qi Compressing formation].

The [Qi Compressing formation] is only a ‘Red grade Level 1 formation’ which belongs to the lowest ranks of the formation. The main drawback of the [Qi Compressing formation] is that the number of ‘Low grade energy stones’ it can accommodate maximum is 10. Because when I am cultivating, my 30% of the focus is on the amount of spiritual qi remaining in the ‘Low grade energy stones’ and I have to replace them once in a while but that disrupts my cultivation.

I can replace the 10 ‘low grade energy stones’ with ‘Medium grade energy stones’ but the [Qi Compressing formation]’s efficiency to extract ‘Spiritual Qi’ from ‘Medium grade energy stones’ is only 55%. This means, that 45% of the [Spiritual Qi] will be wasted.

And I have learned only a few formations because I did not have any proper teacher to guide me in the field of ‘Formations and Arrays’ and there were not many books or information in the Leon clan.

Looks, like I can only further waste more MP by converting it to [Spiritual QI] and filling it inside the empty energy stones.

.

I added 10 ‘Medium grade energy stones’ in the [Qi Compressing formation] and started cultivating.

I washed my body with ‘MP-vital energy’ that has been imbued with Water element.

Then ‘Fire element’

Then ‘Wind element’

‘Lightning Element’

‘Metal Element’

‘Ice Element’

.

.

‘ding’

‘Host has washed the body 10 times with the Wood element imbued [MP-Vital Energy]’

‘+3 Vitality’

‘ding’

‘Host has reached the peak of High level Evolver stage’

‘The [Resistance] stat and Wood Element have formed a connection between each other.’

‘Two new abilities related to them have been created’

‘Poison Resistance’

‘Self Heal’

Poison Resistance:

Due to washing the body with the ‘Wood element’ imbued ‘MP-Vital’ energy, the host’s body has a natural affinity with plants, flowers, and fruit. And naturally to poisonous plants or herbs. And the ‘Resistance’ stat has formed a connection with each other and it has generated the ability to resist poisons.

Current level: Can resist poisons below Red grade level 3.

This ability can level up by increasing the ‘Resistance stat’ or increasing affinity with the wood element or by consuming ‘Red grade Level 3’ or low level poisons.

Self Heal:

Due to washing the body with the ‘Wood element’ imbued ‘MP-Vital’ energy, the host’s body is able to Heal at an improved rate. The host will now recover 1 HP every 5 seconds. This is a passive ability. And this ability has been combined with the hidden ability related to ‘Resistance-HP’. [Resistance-HP ability- Where host will recover HP after fee seconds, but due to poison it was disabled.]

The host can also use MP to recover lost HP. 1 MP will recover 10 HP.

‘ding’

‘Due to host acquiring [Poison Resistance] ability, the ability is trying to eliminate the poison in host’s body.’

‘ding’

‘Due to the level of the poison being high, the [Poison Resistance] ability is ineffective. But the antibodies efficiency against the poison has been increased by 10%’

.

Oh... damn... I better not be dreaming now.

So, many surprises.

First of all, my ‘Vitality’ stat increased by 3. which means, my life has been extended for another 3 years.

I have been in Lamia’s tribe for almost 2 years now. And in the next 1-2 months, the ‘Vitality’ stat would decrease by 1, so my vitality stat which was at 7 would go down to 6 and I would have only 6 years left. But now, this additional increase of 3 years, has given me more time to find a way to increase the ‘Vitality’ stat again.

Then I got the two abilities- Poison resistance and Self Heal.

Although, the Poison Resistance is not useful now, but later when I increase my ‘Resistance stat’ and wash my body with ‘Wood Element’, then its ability will be further upgraded. Also, it will increase after I eat poisonous substances. How good is that?
