298 Thanks for the Complimen (1/2)

Krune and everyone else started to use their Elemental Meridians to absorb one stone after another. The surprising thing is that the more they absorbed, the faster their Elemental Meridians absorbed the next. It looked more like those meridians were black holes instead.

Of course, because each of them had more than 300 each, they still took an entire day to finish them all. Also, absorbing those stones turned out to be quite tiresome. Let alone Tiane and Ruik, even Krune felt somewhat sleepy. One must remember that Krune never sleeps to start with.

Ruik gritted his teeth and said.

”Not yet, I want to at least see the difference that all those stones made in my Elemental Source Energy conversion.”

Tiane also had the same idea, and those two started to cultivate for a short time.

As for Krune and Feifei, they already had an idea of how it would be. Although they absorbed a lot of stones, not a single one of them was even close to those Divine Soul Realm beasts in the Elemental Path Realm. Still, Krune and Feifei also cultivated a little just to make sure.

It was then that they noticed.

”The progress slowed down. It is very faint, but I can feel it.”

Feifei nodded.

”Me too. I guess it might be just like using pills, the more you use, the lesser the effect.”

Krune nodded.

”Still, considering the difference, it will take a long time before it loses effect, so we should continue.”

Feifei agreed with Krune, and they waited for Ruik and Tiane to finish. When Ruik finally opened his eyes again, he looked quite excited.

”Impressive, the difference didn't amount to even 1%, but I can still feel it. We only took three days to get to this point, I think that by the time these two or three years are over, I might have increased my conversion to 100%. Haha!”

Tiane opened her eyes right after.

”Indeed, I can also say that they really improved. After resting a little, let's go back to collect more of them.”

Krune heard their views and shook his head.

”Feifei and I just noticed that the more you use them, the lesser the effect. So reaching 100% with the Elemental Path Stones alone will not be possible.”

Tiane and Ruik were surprised by that, but they waited for Krune to finish.

”Still, it is not a problem. Don't forget that the highest increase in conversion rate happens when we breakthrough into another realm. The two of us discussed that before. We believe that Elemental Meridians like yours and Feifei's will achieve a 70 to 80% instant conversion rate in the Soul Forging Realm.”

Krune continued.

Krune then shrugged his shoulders and added.

”Of course, this is all just a conjecture. Even if you can't pass the 70 to 80% that we speculated, you will at least reach this max capacity while still in the Divine Soul Realm. Your cultivation speed will continue to be several times fasters than any other ordinary Divine Soul Realm cultivators or demon beasts.”

Ruik nodded and then asked.

”You already have a 50% conversion even while in the Core Formation Realm. Does that mean that you would get 100% or close to it even if you didn't use these stones?”

Krune didn't deny that.

”This is what I think. Still, if I use the Elemental Path Stone now, I can reach 100% or close to it while I'm still in the Divine Soul Realm. But remember, this is all just a conjecture. We need to collect a lot more Elemental Path Stones to test our theories. After all, I believe no one has ever tried it before, so we have nowhere to look for information.”

Ruik and the others had to admit that Krune is right. But it was totally worth a try.

”Alright, absorb the energy inside the Elemental Path Stones turned out to be more tiresome than we expected. Let's go out, eat something, and then take some time to rest. I would prefer that we keep our peak conditions while looking for them.”

It was then that Ruik thought about something else.

”Oh, right! While we were looking for the Elemental Path Stones, we also cultivated at the same time. There was no problem with this point. Still, my Dream Laws were another story altogether. I couldn't progress with it at all! It seems like that if I'm not sleeping, I can't do anything about it. So I will be stuck in it for quite some time until we finish gathering Elemental Stones. Do you guys have any ideas?”

Tiane looked at him and couldn't help but comment.

”Neither Feifei or Krune have comprehended this crazy Law of yours, you should stop being an idiot snake and rely more on yourself.”

Ruik then asked.

”Is that how you talk to the snake that you love?”

This was supposed to be Ruik's counter attack, but Tiane just shrugged her shoulders and replied.

”I told you before, you are my idiot snake. This means the fact you are an idiot snake doesn't change.”

Krune and Feifei immediately nodded vigorously, and they even added salt to the injury together.
