as soon as he got the points he went straight to his room and started planning.
the Contribution points had a system.
soups were around 10, pills were around 50, while martial arts were around 100, and cultivation manuals were around 150.
he could either buy 3 pills, boosting his power level to extreme heights, get another martial arts to improve his skills, or another cultivation technique.
but he already had plenty of cultivation techniques, 2 martial arts that were extremely compatible with him.
so the only options would be pills.
‘but, using pills on the Copper Blood Nourishing skill…’ the Skill was extremely fast at pulling in the natural energy floating in the air.
but on the other hand, the Qi Blood becomes extremely slow.
so slow you can barely call it Qi Blood.
the original creator was amazed by how Copper, when in the right environments starts absorbing natural energy at an accelerated rate.
turning it into Profound Copper!
the same went for all specialised ores, when left in spiritual veins for long enough, they start being a sponge, absorbing them all.
but the technique was incomplete.
as the Qi Blood formed could barely move an inch.
and that made it so any progress was extremely slow.
he himself was kinda annoyed, since he hasn’t used it at all, fearing of having to replenish it again, which would cost more food and nutrients he can’t afford.
‘but maybe..’ he could evolve the Skill!
he already had a few ideas, and why the skill remained stagnant at the great success stage, as well as the fact that why the movement was so slow.
‘because profound copper, is a metal, not a living thing’ sure it can absorb, but can’t use and manipulate the energy itself.
only using it to cultivate the metal itself.
‘maybe by taking that principle?
no, no..
I’m still way too inexperienced.’ he would’ve if he had more experience with Blood Nourishing Pile Skills.
but right now, he’s barely a beginner in the Copper Skill.
‘maybe the Wolf Blood Nourishing?’ that was the second Pile skill he has experience in.
‘maybe…’ his ego flared a little while his excitement ran wild!
he wanted to practice all of them simultaneously!!
most would call him mad, after all, practicing multiple Pile Skills could break down your martial foundation, not to mention that all of them would clash together depending on differences…
yet the idea was continued to being entertained!
he went back to the hall.
and purchased a pill.
he planned to buy more later on, but firstly he would fully focus on the Wolf Nourishing skill.
he went back to the gang.
not wanting to let them know he know more than 1 pile skill.
and the gang, doesn’t know what skills he got, so he didn’t worry too much.
after a quick run, he went to the head quarters, to the private open space for only him and his new sister and started cultivating!
this time, with his experience with the Copper Blood Nourishing Skill, his speed was extraordinarily fast!
allowing him to progress without a hitch.
and since his Copper Qi Blood was in his lower Dantian, he planned to only cultivate a little of each and let it continuously swirl in his body until it runs out.
Qi Blood, though physical, has a lot of similarities to Qi, which means that it can be stored.
though, both are extremely unknown, and knowledge is a weapon in this kind of era, so its secrets are also closely guarded.
you can only trust yourself when experimenting and pray you don’t cripple yourself.
better yet, get test subjects from lower neighbourhoods and use them.
unfortunately, Ma Qing was only a low level in the Agency, not to mention the gang itself has only started to grow, so forcing them into experimentation might make them look bad.
15 minutes later: [Wolf Blood Nourishing Skill:1/100 Beginner] ‘that was fast.’ he was extremely impressed and started cultivating the bear skill, while also splitting his focus on constantly moving the Wolf Qi Blood throughout the body.
since it was his first time using Qi Blood, he felt extremely surprised!
the Qi Blood running through him was fast and ferocious, like how ravenous a wolf in a gang is!
though it feels slightly difficult to control, he managed it.
12 minutes later: [Gorilla Blood Nourishing Skill:1/100 Beginner] ‘am I getting faster?’ the thought crossed his mind, but instead of getting his ego stroked, he focused on swirling the Gorilla Qi Blood and focussing on the next pile skill.
and so, the day flew by as he slowly acumulated multiple types of Qi Blood and bringing multiple Pile Skills to beginner level.
