[Mass release: 8 out of 8]

.

Apart from these, there were also 3 defensive artifacts of yellow grade. 1 soft armor which had feminine style to it and 2 shields. Unfortunately, one of them had taken a lot of damage so other than selling it for some spare money it was of no use.

Orochi gave the soft armor to Armelia, and June did not have any opinion on that.

As for the remaining intact shield, Orochi gave it to June, and he took the damaged shield, as he didn’t want to look greedy in front of them.

They also obtained 4 cultivation methods and 7 martial arts.

Out of 4 cultivation methods- 2 were of Red grade, 1 Orange grade, and 1 Yellow grade.

And out of 7 martial arts- 3 were of Red Grade, 2 Orange grade, and 2 yellow grade.

Here, June insisted the couple to keep them, as their cultivation was still low, and these would be of great help to them.

But Orochi told her to make a copy of these cultivation methods and martial arts, as they will be of great use to the Lamia tribe.

And the remaining things they obtained mostly included a small chest filled with gold, pieces of jewelry, and a dozen books about different things.

After sorting and distributing their gains, they got back to the place where the Low grade energy stone mine was found.

Finding a Low grade energy stone mine is a great thing for any tribe or clan. And, the Lamia tribe is currently facing economic issues, so for them, this Low grade energy stone mine is very important.

So, June decided to head back to the tribe and bring back the news of discovering the Low grade energy stone mine.

Occupying a Low grade energy stone mine is very important for any organization as it can boost their resources by a great deal, including powers like the Lamia tribe or Leon clan will take this new seriously.

And if the news of this reaches other powers in the Dark forest, then conflicts might occur, so June decided to leave the couple, Orochi and Armelia in the cave, while she brings back the news to the Lamia tribe.

After June left, Orochi and Armelia decided to cultivate.

Of course, they are not dual cultivating, duh.

Damn, if two people are cultivating then it doesn’t mean they will dual cultivate every time.

As Armelia’s cultivation increased so quickly in the past month, Orochi instructed her not to focus on increasing her cultivation but to focus on learning and mastering fighting techniques, as he knows that her major flaws are inexperience in combat, low strength, and low mastery of fighting techniques.

So currently, he told her to focus on mastering the ‘Snake palm’, that she learned in the Lamia tribe.

Armelia could not practice the martial arts that they recently found as she had just recently entered the Monster stage, and at her current level, she can hardly learn them.

So, instead of wasting time in learning some difficult techniques, it is better to increase the mastery of known fighting techniques.

And Armelia did not object to Orochi’s advice, as she was aware of her own weakness.

After done instructing Armelia, Orochi decided to focus on increasing his cultivation.

His current situation was similar to a man who owned billions of dollars which was left behind by his parents, but due to his minor age, he is not able to enjoy that wealth.

Due to his low cultivation, Orochi is not able to utilize the two main inheritances- Azure Lotus Essence refining method and the Shoka chakra wheel arts. Not to mention these two, even the other fighting techniques that he just obtained from the room were just lying in his storage ring. And he also had a good look at them and found few interesting techniques in them.

But he is unable to practice them. This makes him feel distressed.

So, increasing his cultivation is an urgent task for Orochi.

Previously due to lack of resources, he had to stop his cultivation. But fortunately for him, he was able to mine and store large amounts of Low grade energy stones. Not to mention, that a Low grade energy stone mine is just a few meters away from him.

And from the miser he is, instead of using the Low grade energy stones he has, he mined few blocks of low grade energy stone and cut them into small pieces.

Then he drew the ‘Qi compressing formation’ that he was most proficient in and started cultivating.

Previously, he just finished washing and nourishing his body with all the primary and secondary elements.

And after washing the body only 1 time with all the elements [4 primary elements and 7 Secondary elements] at the same time, he stopped his cultivation.

So, now he will be washing and nourishing his body for the second time.

As the formation got activated, Spiritual qi was being extracted from the Low grade energy stones and was slowly getting absorbed by Orochi.

Then he would mix the absorbed spiritual Qi and his own Qi together, to produce the ‘Vital energy’. And as the system previously instructed, he would also mix MP in that. the produced ‘Vital energy’ will then be imbued with all the elements.

And then he will wash his body with it.

.

Seconds passed.

Minutes passed.

Like this time continued flowing.

Finally, after 1-2 hours, the system notification rang,

‘ding’

‘Host has washed the body 2 times with 4 Primar elements and 7 secondary elements.’

‘+250 Strength’

‘+250 Agility’

‘+250 Defense’

‘+250 Resistance’

‘+250 Stamina’

‘+40 Sense’

.

Although Orochi was pleased with the huge increase in stats, he felt some pain when he looked at the Low grade energy stones used in the formation, which had been almost exhausted off Spiritual Qi in them.

So, instead of mining another batch of Low grade energy stones from the mine, he converted MP into spiritual qi and supplied it into the Low grade energy stones.

Yes, his actions might seem unnecessary and a waste of time, but he knew that based on his consumption of Low grade energy stones, he would end up using more than 1000 of them to finish washing his body with vital energy. And he did not want to overly exploit the mine as he is using it to earn the goodwill of the Lamia tribe.
