East Meet West

215- One drop to Breakthrough

After a moment of contemplation, Orochi couldn’t help but curse himself,

“Damn, I should really forget my past life’s habits. Especially this habit of treasuring things in storage or locker.”

In his previous life, Orochi had a habit of storing things for future use. And one such example was- His parents gifted him a set of brand new clothes, and when he wore them, he totally loved them because the clothes fit him so perfectly that his confidence swelled to the limit, he felt that if he proposed to some girl, then she would surely accept his proposal. And even the color of clothes were his favorite colors.

So, at that time, Orochi’s ‘Save it for the appropriate time’ habit, kicked in and he packed those clothes carefully and stored them in his cupboard so that he can wear those set of clothes when he feels that the occasion is special so that he can look at his best.

And like this, months passed.

A year passed. But the special occasion still did not arrive.

Finally, after two years, when he was cleaning his room, he came across that set of clothes and when he put them on, guess what happened?

Yes, clothes did not fit him anymore.

When he saw this, he felt pain and regretted his decision for many weeks.

So, Orochi couldn’t help but curse himself because he was doing the same thing he did in his past life.

Although, converting MP into Spiritual qi and then supplying to the dantian is a very cost-effective method, such that he could save the ‘Stalactite Milk’.

But he asked himself.

Why should I save it?

Why should I conserve Stalactite milk? Am I not using it for myself? Is it wrong to use something on oneself when one owns it?

‘Fusk... this past life’s habit. I really need to get rid of it.’

‘Anyway, if I don’t use this stalactite milk now then when am I going to use it? After I reach the Royalty realm? By then in my eyes, there will be no difference between Stalactite milk and drinking water? So, what’s the use of saving it?’

Orochi really wanted to slap himself but finally controlled himself.

Determined to use the Stalactite milk, Orochi did not hesitate anymore and opened the cap of the bottle and took out one drop of ‘Stalactite Milk’ and swallowed it directly.

As soon as the drop of stalactite milk touched his tongue, he felt that his mouth was filled with rich sweetness.

And as the drop of stalactite rolled down to his stomach, a cool and sweet sensation spread along the way.

Boom

As soon as it reached his stomach, like an explosive large amount of energy was released and started flowing to every part of his body.

Orochi immediately concentrated and guided this energy towards the dantian.

And like a sponge, the dantian greedily absorbed these large amounts of energy.

So, Orochi continued guiding the energy towards the dantian and it continued absorbing these energies like a bottomless pit.

As the energy was being absorbed by the dantian, the bronze dantian’s size grew slowly, and it got shinier.

After 5 minutes, Orochi stopped guiding this stream of energy because the dantian reached its limit and some changes started appearing on it.

While Orochi was observing the changes happening to the dantian, the remaining energy from the drop of stalactite milk spread out to every single corner of his body, which was absorbed like a sponge.

When this remaining energy was absorbed by the body, he felt very refreshed. As if he was in a hot spring.

And note that, the dantian almost absorbed 80-85% of the energy released by the drop of stalactite milk. So, just these remaining 15-20% energy has such relaxing effects, one can only wonder what will happen when one takes more than one drop of stalactite milk?

‘ding’

‘+50 Strength’

‘+50 Agility’

‘+30 Defense’

‘+30 Resistance’

‘+10 Sense’

‘+20 Stamina’

He felt his organs, bones, muscles, blood, skin and other parts were screaming with joy after receiving such potent tonic.

‘Crack’

Suddenly, once again cracks started appearing on the bronze dantian and pale silver lights escaped from the cracks.

Seeing this, Orochi was overjoyed and focused on his dantian.

‘Crack’

‘Crack’

.

.

The cracks spread all over the dantian and soon it was completely covered with cracks, then...

BANG

An explosion took place and all the bronze layer of the dantian exploded and turned into a thick stream of energy and spread throughout the body.

This brown stream of energy was immediately absorbed by his skin, bones, organs, and all other parts of the body. Some of it also entered into the 7 Chakras and also towards the center of the 1000 petalled lotus inside the sea of consciousness, where the soul is hidden.

If the previous energy from the drop of stalactite milk was like an appetizer, then now this brown stream of energy is like a full course meal for his body parts.

A sense of fullness came from his body.

Simultaneously, the system notification also rang.

‘Ding’

‘Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Mid Level Demi-Human stage.’

‘Ding’

‘+1000 Strength’

‘+1000 Agility’

‘+800 Defense’

‘+800 Resistance’

‘+400 Sense’

‘+200 Intelligence’

‘+900 Stamina’

.

When Orochi looked at his dantian, the previous bronze dantian has now transformed into the silver dantian.

And also, the size of the dantian once again increased by more than 3 times.

Orochi asked the system to show the details of his dantian,

‘ding’

‘The current dantian’s grade is Silver Grade.’

‘Current conversion ratio of World’s spiritual qi to Host’s spiritual qi is 2:1.’

‘It can store about 10972 units of spiritual qi.’

.

Looking at these details, Orochi was satisfied.

The storage space inside the dantian has increased by more than 3.5 times.

And the conversion rate also increased.

So, now it would take at least 230-250 low grade energy stones to fill his dantian completely.

[Note: If you are confused, then remember that the conversion rate is 2:1.

Meaning, 2 units of spiritual qi that are available in the world or in a low grade energy stone, are purified and compressed by the dantian to 1 unit of Spiritual Qi which is owned by MC. So, now MC’s spiritual qi is two times thicker and purer than that is available in the world.

And a low grade energy stone contains spiritual qi ranging from 90-130.]

.

Satisfied by this Orochi, opened his eyes but he was stunned when he saw the changes that took place.
