Bab 25: Mana Circulation!
Stone sat on his bed and tried to search for the Cultivation Manual hidden deep in his mind.
He finally found a black book with golden lines decorating it, It was beautiful.
There were some words on it but he couldn't read them, He didn't mind it though and he started trying to open the book.
After 15 minutes of tiresome effort, he was finally able to open it.
It was strange as it didn't budge the whole time, He was just persistent because his senses told him to do so.
Suddenly golden words started flooding out of the book and attacked his mind.
"ARRRRGH!" Stone screamed in agony as he held his head tightly, He endured for a long time without any sign of the pain fading away.
Tiana and Isabella heard the scream as well as some adventurers and rushed to look where it came from.
When they saw it was coming from Stone's room they were frightened, They tried opening the door but it was locked, Then Isabella instructed Tiana to get some spare keys from the first floor, And she rushed to do so.
When they finally opened the door, Stone had already fainted.
They were scared and started inspecting him, When they found out he was still breathing, they sighed in relief.
After that, they told everyone to leave and only Isabella and Tiana were left in the room.
They fixed Stone on the bed as he was sitting cross-legged even when he fainted.
Isabella couldn't stay with him for too long as she had the Inn to manage so she instructed Tiana to do so and left.
Now it was only Tiana and Stone in the room.
-----------------
Meanwhile, Stone was transported to a black space filled with rows upon rows of golden words.
Although he couldn't understand the words they were forcefully transmitted to his brain.
"Nice to meet you, Stone! I'm the Creator of this cultivation book.
I would like to congratulate you for finally being able to open up this book.
I just want to tell you that, This book was created specifically for you, It will help you reach the top of this World and fulfill your dreams, But it will also make things difficult for you, So work hard and may we meet again!"
'Hmm, What was that, A message?' Stone thought confused. It really did look like a message but how did he know his name?
'Welp, whatever, I'll find out about this later!'
Right then, the words started to fade, and new ones formed, But this time it wasn't a message it was the actual instructions to use this Cultivation Technique.
But from what was written it seems that this is only the 1st stage.
'I see, I should recite this to start feeling the energy around me, then I have to try and control it to make it circulate in my whole body whenever the energy gets attracted and absorbed by me, right?' Stone thought as he looked at the instruction as well as some kind of mantra he had to memorize and recite to cultivate.
After that Stone memorized the whole instructions, and he was thrown away from his own consciousness right after.
----------------------
Stone woke up and was surprised to see Tiana sitting beside him sleeping soundlessly.
'She looks cute sleeping like a puppy, But welp I've got nothing to do about it, I have no plans of getting any partner at the time. Anyways gotta wake her up.' Stone thought.
*Cough* *Cough*
"huh? ah! Stone, You're awake! You scared us, you know? Everyone was startled when you suddenly screamed."
"Huh? Really? Well... Sorry about that!" Stone apologized as he bowed his head a little.
"Well it's fine as long as you're awake, I was worried when you didn't wake up for 5 hours!"
"5 hours!!" Stone suddenly shouted.
He really didn't expect to have been unconscious for that long, He didn't even feel the time passing when he was inside his consciousness.
"Well, yeah!" Tiana chuckled when she saw Stone surprised for the first time.
"Hmm, That's strange, Anyways, Thank you for taking care of me, and sorry for worrying you guys!" Stone then got up and sat cross-legged again.
"No problem! now that you're awake, I'll leave, I also have to tell my mother that you woke up." Tiana got up and turned around as she made her way towards the exit.
"mhm, I'll probably stay here for a long time, So don't worry about me If I don't come down!"
"Okay!"
Then Stone started reciting the Mantra, And only after 20 minutes did he feel some faint energy surrounding him from every direction.
He opened his eyes to take a look, and there were a lot of light orbs of different sizes and colors floating around aimlessly.
"So this is mana! It feels and looks strange, Like tiny dots of light bulbs."
"Welp, time to try and absorb them, But before that!" Stone said as he looked at the mana orbs strangely.
"It seems that each color represents an Element, And there are 7 currently from what I see, Red for Fire, Blue for Water, Green for Air, Brown for Earth, Yellow for Lightening, Colorless for... Guess it's normal mana, and- hmm... what Element are the Orange orbs?" Stone said confused by the Orange color that looked like a small Sun.
{That is the Sunlight Element, Host! because the Sun didn't fully set yet, The Element is available but kind of faint.}
"Oh, Good then! But, Is it normal for people to see this many Elements when he cultivates?"
{It's just your [Elemental Affinity] Host, Normally one can only see the Elements he got an affinity to, but you've all of them. And that's where you're different. Well, For the elemental orbs, You can only use the Origin mana inside your body to control them, But you can't absorb them as of now, But it's possible to absorb the Origin Mana which is available everywhere.}
"I see, Makes sense! I think it's time to try the energy circulation thing."
"I'll try and finish the circulation quickly, tomorrow I'll go hunt again, So I need to at least have a bit of control over Mana."
Stone then tried to feel the Mana inside his body which he did really quickly, And then he proceeded in trying to circulate it.
After many trials and failures, Stone finally figured out how to circulate mana.
And after that, he proceeded in controlling the mana as mentioned in the instructions.
He circulated the mana inside his flesh, his organs, Blood, Brain, legs, and every single muscle fiber, He didn't forget a single place.
1 hour Later...
"The first Circulation is done!" Stone opened his eyes.
he planned on resting for a bit and continuing.
And so he passed the night cultivating.
-----End-----
Yup, done for today!
