Chapter 859 Cultivation?

-----

After taking a brief look to the new piece of equipment, I decided to put it on for now. With this, in combination with the Wizard's Ring, I have a nice way to create some sort of special loop! Every time I spend 1000 MP, I recover 10 Satiation, and every time I spend 25 Satiation, I gain 500 MP. It's not enough of a loop that I can have infinite MP and Satiation though, but it should be able to help me out quite a lot on keeping up.

And another thing I've been thinking about is... Well, the Elixirs. These special Ki Elixirs in specific. I as thinking that maybe I should drink them with my real body so my Physique can advance further. But there's also the dilemma of this world's body, which is still quite frail when I compare it to complete physical fighters. Of course, I can boost the stats with all the amazing equipment I have, and buffs from Skills and Spells.

However, if I put myself on equal footing with other people but that specialize on physical strength and defense, while having the same benefits as myself, then it is quite obvious I would be considered swiftly... frail. I am not even sure if I would have been able to slay Magicus without the help of my entire party.

So maybe strengthening my Avatar's Physical Strength by consuming these elixirs would be better, all while also eating those fruits I got from the Hephaestus Quest. Yeah, let's go with that for now. I also need to figure out how it'll work out with me. Will this body gain a Physique, or will something else happen?

Without hesitating, and while making our way back to the smithy, I started drinking the elixirs, well, I absorbed them. Using my hand as a root, I was able to insert it into the inside of the bottles and drain the liquid right away, just like how trees can drain water using their roots.

The 30 Elixirs I had accumulated were gone in an instant, and the fruits, which were very sweet and at the same time spicy, took me a bit more to consume, but I was able to consume everything at the end.

The Elixirs felt... very strange, and nice at the same time. It felt like rivers of golden light flowed across my entire body. Unlike my real body on Earth, this Avatar is not made of flesh, nor is truly human. It means the physique by itself is very different, I'm a plant after all.

So unlike a human's physique, which I can clearly feel the internal organs, meridians, and so on, it felt much... "Freer" the energy flowed everywhere without any clear pathways, which was slightly chaotic, but everything was nourished from it.

Each Elixir made me feel more refreshed than the rest, I could feel my wood and bark becoming tougher with each drink, and the fruits accompanying this "meal" were not bad either, a blazing surge of power surged within the depths of my chest each time I ate one.

Eventually, I felt much, much stronger than I imagined a couple of consumable items would make me feel!

Ding!

[You have consumed the [Ki Reinforcing Elixir (A Grade)] x30!]

[A large quantity of Ki has been absorbed by your entire body.]

[Due to the unique structure of your body, the Ki has been absorbed by your [Yggdrasil's Roots]!]

[Your Wood and Bark have grown much tougher and more resilient than before. Your wood can now imitate the elasticity and strength of flesh muscles with much more ease.]

[The [Yggdrasil Meridians] have begun to be stimulated. To further open the three Divine Yggdrasil Meridians, more Ki is required, alongside the absorption of special Body Tempering, Body Refining, and Body Enhancing Cultivation Techniques.]

[To further continue the path of Cultivating your body, it is also necessary to properly forge a Physique, awakening the Three Divine Yggdrasil's Meridians should be a priority to obtain one.]

[Obtaining a Technique that could help you transform Mana and Spiritual Energy into Ki would be recommended.]

[The Special Stat KI has been unlocked!]

[You gained +1.000 KI!]

[You gained +100 Station!]

[You acquired the [Beginner Disciple Of Cultivation] Title!]

-----

[Beginner Disciple Of Cultivation]

Acquisition Conditions: Unlock the KI Stat and begin your Cultivation Path.

Equip Bonus: +100 KI, +50 Satiation, Cultivation Techniques Growth Speed +20%.

A Unique Skill usually only rewarded to those that have acquire the knowledge to cultivate their bodies' strength through the power of Ki, a millenary essence forged through the Stamina, Vitality, and Strength of the Physical Body, which can boost the Physical Techniques and Martial Arts of the user to a whole new level.

The people of the Eastern Continent discovered the power of Ki hundreds of millennia ago, in the dawn of man before the System was even conceived. Such techniques were later learned by the People of the Western Continent of Verdant, and later implemented into the training regime of the Knights, Soldiers, and Physical Fighting Adventurers.

You're nothing but a small fledging in the path of Cultivation, but there's nothing better than to rely on your own body than in any outside strength. As long as you keep a steady growth of your Physique, the effects of this Title remain indefinitely and without the requirement of equipping it.

[Well done, young disciple! You gained +100 KI and +50 Satiation!]

First of all... Wow. I was completely showered with countless notifications. I don't know if I am the first one to ever unlock this, but it seems to be really BIG. First of all, my body in this world seems to be so vast and complex that my meridians aren't normal at all, they're called Divine Yggdrasil Meridians! And even after drinking 30 Elixirs, I have yet to unlock their power.

I simply stimulated them to generate Ki on their own, most likely... But because this body is so magical in nature, it is rather hard, even less when this power was purposely designed to work mostly on entities of the Animal Kingdom, not the Plant Kingdom.

Nonetheless, it looks like there's an Eastern Continent of... Cultivators?! Has that place even been visited by Players yet? n(-o--V-.e..l--b-(1.-n
