Chapter 188: Cultivating to the peak of Evolver stage 2

188- Cultivating to the peak of Evolver stage 2

Orochi continued cultivating for almost a day before he stopped.

After opening his eyes, a look of excitement and pain appeared in his eyes.

Armelia who was resting from her practice saw his expression and asked,

What happened?

Hearing Armelias question, Orochi answered in a tone filled with happiness.

I have reached the peak of Evolver stage and am ready to step into the Demi-Human stage.

But the amount of [Low grade energy stones] used up by me, makes me feel painful.

When Armelia heard this, she laughed and said,

Husband, dont be such a miser. Isn't it only a few dozen [Low grade energy stones]? Anyway, we have found this mine and you hold most of its credit, so dont worry about losing few dozen [Low grade energy stones]. And if you want more, then take as much as you like, I will talk to mother.

When Orochi heard Armelias consolation, he did not reply and just helplessly nodded.

Although, what Armelia said makes sense, but only he knows the real issue.

During this period of cultivation, in Armelias eyes, he might have just used almost a hundred [Low grade energy stones], but Orochi has been constantly filling them with Spiritual Qi by converting his MP. So, if calculated like this he has already used up more than 1000 [Low grade energy stones], which if it is known to others then their eyeballs are sure to pop out.

Before stepping into the peak of the Evolver stage, any cultivator will have to wash and nourish his body with vital energy imbued with the 5 elements separately.

So, when washing and nourishing the body with vital energy imbued with all the 5 elements, the number of times it can be done by any average human is 5 times. And sometimes it can even reach 6-7 times. So, the amount of [Low grade energy stones] required will range between 80-150 [Low grade energy stones].

Even Orochi, before he was poisoned was able to wash his body 6 times. And the people he had a relation with, also had washed in between 5-7.

The reason for someone to be able to wash his/her body an extra time is not known properly. Some say it is related to ones potential, some say that it is related to the physical bodys limits and some say that it depends on the affinity one has with all the 5 elements.

[Note: Washing and nourishing body 5-6 times, means that when someone does it, there is an increase in strength. And when it stops, then the count ends. So, in other words, everyone can wash their body with vital energy as long as they want but after a certain number, the increase in strength will stop. So, even if they continue washing their body, other than wasting their resources there is no other effect.]

So, Orochi is distressed by seeing the number of [Low grade energy stones] used to reach the peak of the Evolver stage. It's not that his miser character has awakened, I mean who would feel distressed if the money is spent for their own need?

The fact is no miser will back off when spending money on himself.

The only thing he is worried about is that he feels that the number of resources for his cultivation will keep on increasing as his cultivation progresses.

But just like how a coin has two sides.

And how there is light after the dark night.

Similarly, there is also a good event for Orochi.

Although he is using lots of resources, he was able to wash and nourish his body with vital energy, more than 20 times. And during this 20 times of washing, his stats increased by more than 3000.

So, looking at his increasing stats, he was able to calm his mood.

Screw it, if it makes me stronger then even if I go broke, I wont care.

Anyway, it's just a few hundred [Low grade energy stones], it's not like I will not be able to earn them back in the future.

And even if I am not able to, then I dont mind taking some drastic measures.

Anyhow, there is no scarcity of evil guys and bandits in this world, if the situation comes to worst, then I will have to look for them. Especially, there is no scarcity of arrogant people who would come looking for trouble without invitation, at that time, I would just have to properly squeeze their wealth.

When Orochi thought all this, a smile finally appeared on his face and all his worries vanished.

Orochi knew that if he wants to gain wealth, then getting a profession is a good way for making wealth. But of course, stealing is still the quickest way to make wealth.

If it was still his previous character, then he is sure to dismiss this kind of unorthodox ways but now he doesn't have any qualms like that.

Anyhow, even if he doesnt go to rob someone, there are many people who will come to Orochi looking for trouble. As in the world, where ones strength and fist speak, everyone will somehow get into some kind of conflict. And as ones cultivation increases, the number of conflicts will increase. And Orochi is sure to get into many conflicts.

And Orochi is not a passive guy like those main characters who hold the idea- If someone doesnt trouble me, then I wont trouble them.

Or

If someone offends me, then I will return it 100 times.

Or something similar.

Orochi is totally against this type of idea.

From Orochis point of view, all those main characters hold the mentality like- unless you damage my interests or hurt my people, I wont do anything to you.

Bur Orochi feels- why? Why must you wait until your people get hurt? What if something happens to them or they die?

Then isnt it the main character's fault for taking action passively? Its like he will not do anything unless someone close to him is harmed or killed,

Orochis mentality is like- since I know that my enemy will trouble me, then let me take lead.

He is not the type to wait for his enemy to make the move, he will instead look for the enemy to make trouble and remove the problem completely.

He doesnt have anything to lose. Instead, he will gain Exp, Free stat points, and wealth.

Orochis thinking is simple- If I dont look for trouble with you, then it is your blessing but when I do, then it is your bad luck. But if you look for trouble with me, then hehe... you have made the biggest mistake in your life and there is only one ending... filling my pocket and giving me Exp.
