Chapter 126: Peak of Refinement stage

126- Peak of Refinement stage

Seriously... I am speechless.

Except for the ‘Resistance’ stat and the ‘Intelligence’ stat, all other stats have crossed 1000 point mark.

I can also increase the ‘Resistance’ stat and the ‘Intelligence’ stat up to 1000 or more than that but I don’t want to do that because due to using the ‘Locking stats’ function, the refining speed is going smoothly and I don’t want to interfere with that.

But from these, I have to make note of one thing.

Previously, I thought that if my stats are between 300-500 then I can fight any Demi-human stage cultivator. But now I haven't even reached the peak of the Refinement Stage and I received more than 400 stats from cultivating. So, that means the people that I have met are of low end with low level techniques or methods and there will be many people outside the kingdoms and Empires where a Refinement stage or Evolver stage cultivator might be so strong that they can even defeat a ‘Human stage’ cultivator from the kingdom or country.

============================

(A small recap, in this world Empire is bigger than a Kingdom, and a kingdom is bigger than a country.

So,

Empire > Kingdom > Country > State > County > City > village.

I will be mentioning these things after few chapters regularly to avoid confusion.)

============================

Just the techniques that I got from the brown book are so awesome, just imagine how awesome other techniques will be in the higher realms? Of course, that is if there are any higher realms. I am just assuming that there are higher realms because of my novel and manga knowledge. And the Leon clan’s power is just limited to the kingdom level do not possess much influence to know such things, so I can only assume there are higher realms. If there are not then, it means that I don’t have to keep on getting stronger instead I can relax and enjoy life.

.

Also due to stats increasing by a huge number many of the Hidden abilities have been upgraded like,

1- The hidden ability related to the Resistance stat and HP:

Previously, due to this hidden ability, I should be recovering 1 HP per minute but due to the poison, this ability was disabled. But after the ‘Resistance’ stats crossed the 250 and 500 mark, it got upgraded twice. In the first upgrade, recovery time decreased from 1 minute to 30 seconds and in the second upgrade once again it decreased from 30 seconds to 15 seconds.

And that’s not all. After the first upgrade, the [losing 1 HP per 5 minutes] effect increased to 10 minutes and after the second upgrade, I stopped losing HP. This means, that from now I don’t have to worry about losing HP and don’t have to waste money on buying HP potions.

2- The hidden ability is related to the Sense stat and MP.

After the Sense stat crossed 1000 points, the MP recovery time once again decreased. Previously I used to generate 1 MP per 2 seconds, but now I can recover 1 MP per second.

3- The hidden ability related to the Intelligence stat and MP.

Previously, every time the Intelligence stat increased by 1 point; the MP limit increases by 25. But after the upgrade, for every increase of Intelligence stat increased by 1 point; the MP limit increases by 50. But honestly, I am not that excited because I am exchanging MP for ‘Free stat points’, and every time the MP limit increases, I undergo loss. But some things cannot be prevented, no matter how one tries.

4- The hidden ability related to Stamina and HP.

Actually, there were not many changes in this ability. Previously, for every increase of ‘Stamina’ stat by 1, my HP limit increased by 100. But after the ‘Stamina’ stat crossed 1000, instead of the HP limit, it was the Fatigue limit that increased. Previously, for every increase of stamina stat by 1, the fatigue limit would increase by 10, but now it is 100.

.

The only hidden ability that did not increase was the hidden ability related to the Defense stat and HP. After the Defense stat crossed 500 points, the hidden ability description was for every increase in the Defense stat by, the HP limit would increase by 100 and I thought that after it crosses 1000 there should something similar, but there was nothing.

Well, during the last 6 months, I also upgraded my skills and jobs. And even learned a new skill ‘Magic manifestation’.

I have seen the MP in the form of gas, but if the MP is in the form of solid then it is called Magic.

I learned to solidify the MP from one book I bought from the shop. And from that, I unlocked the skill ‘Magic manifestation’.

And after unlocking this skill, a new option was added in the spellbook window. And I learned two new spells namely:

Magic bomb and Magic missiles.

As the name implies, a Magic bomb detonates when used on a target, and the Magic missile is used to pierce a target and then detonate.

They are handy skills but uses a huge amount of MP.

To produce a Golf ball sized magic ball requires 500 MP and my total MP is not even enough to produce a football sized magic ball. I can try increasing the MP limit by increasing the ‘Intelligence’ stat but it is a huge burden since I am reluctant to waste MP that can be exchanged to get ‘Free stat points’.

But the good thing about the magic ball is that I can assign elemental attributes to it and I can also freely change the shape of the magic ball into anything. And from my experiments, I can make a magic sword [like those energy swords seen in the manga and anime] and other weapons too. But the only issue is MP. For the objects made of magic, they require a lot of MP, and to maintain the strength and durability, even more, MP is required.

.

Putting all these matters behind, I decided to get done with the last level of the Refinement Stage, which is Bone refinement.

The bone refinement level is the same as previous levels, and here the ‘Qi bombing technique’ can be used.

So, with that idea in mind, I started cultivating.

I started to inject Qi into the bones and let it reach the marrow. And used [Qi] as nourishment.

After few hours, some impurities were being released and I released them from the body.

After a day or two, finally, no more impurities were released. So, I started using the [Qi bombing technique] to damage my bones, and then recover, which will result in making my bones stronger.

.

After a week, the system notification rang,

‘ding’

‘Host has completed the Bone Refinement level.’

‘Host has reached the peak Refinement stage.’
