184 Essence Cores (2/2)
'Element crystal level and essence core… If I raise the wood element level, can it enhance my core?'
This theory did not make sense, but Cao Mao felt believed that it was related, judging from the size of crystals and their level. The lightning element crystal was three times bigger than the size of his life essence core, which had merged with the wood element crystal.
Cao Mao opened his system inventory menu and stared at the icon of wood spirit pills, which he had prepared for his yin slaves and Wei Yuan. 98,588 pills were sitting in the inventory space.
These pills were mutated pills, which had been enhanced by Cao Mao's orc bloodline and his life essence energy. When they were created by the mass-production cheat, the system also bestowed the characteristic of Cao Mao's bloodline and energy to the pills. The wood element Qi from the wood corn kernel became milder and easier to digest.
At first, Cao Mao wanted to give these pills to his yin slaves, so they could condense a wood element crystal. But now, he needed them.
Cao Mao pulled a pill from the inventory menu and tossed it in his mouth.
As soon as the pill entered his stomach, it melted and released wood element Qi into his blood vessels. Cao Mao directed them to his dantian right away.
As the pill contained a bit of Cao Mao's life essence and his orc bloodline, it was so compatible with him to the point that his body did not reject the pill effect. Regardless of how many pills he ate, his body would never develop a resistance against the pill effect.
Thus, pill intoxication syndrome that Cao Mao once had during the fight with Xie Tian would never happen again with the spirit wood pill!
Sensing the compatibility between his pill and his body, Cao Mao shoved ten more pills into his mouth and chew them like candies. Wood element Qi rushed into his dantian and automatically merged with his essence core.
When more wood element Qi entered the essence core, it grew larger and the gravity force around the core got stronger. Then, more essence water gathered and condensed with the pond.
Cao Mao laughed. As he had expected, his essence core and the wood element crystal were deeply related. Since the wood element was his primary element, the power level of this element reflected the strength of his life essence core.
'I don't know how, but I don't care. I'll just feed it with more wood Qi!'
Cao Mao started eating spirit wood pills as if they were snacks. After eating spirit wood pills for three hours and digesting a thousand pills, the system finally gave him feedback.
Ding
\u003cCongratulations, your wood element crystal level has increased.\u003e
'Yup, it works.'
The life essence core in Cao Mao's dantian got three-times bigger. It had become the same size as the lightning element crystal, and its gravity force attracted more life essence water to the pond.
But that was not enough. The water mass still floated above the pool as the gravity force couldn't pull everything in the dantian space to itself.
Cao Mao took a deep breath and controlled the life essence mass to merge with the pool. Then, he continued eating the spirit wood pills.
.
.
100 hours later, Cao Mao finally raised his wood element crystal level to 3, which was the max level he could get at the moment.
As soon as the life essence core got bigger again, it became easier to condense all essence water into one place. Although Cao Mao lost a few liters of life essence water to the lightning element crystal, most of the energy remained intact.
Ding
\u003cCongratulations, your wood element crystal level has increased.\u003e
\u003cYou have collected over 100,000 liters of essence water and form a complete pond.\u003e
\u003cYou have ascended to the essence gathering realm!\u003e
\u003cYou can upgrade element crystals to a higher level.\u003e
Cao Mao lied down and clenched his fist.
”Ha! I'm a genius! WOOOOO!!”
From now on, Cao Mao could call himself a full-fledged 4th-stage expert, even though it was an early stage. He was confident that he could take on anyone in the same realm, including the protagonists.
But for now, Cao Mao needed to relieve his stress. He summoned Ju Chen to the space, so he could violate this girl. Moreover, he was curious if he could ask for this Ju Chen's [Blood Essence] and trigger another race change quest since she was now a [Queen].
When Ju Chen appeared in the space, she looked around. Then, she turned to her master with a bright smile, ”You finally call for me. I'm tired of waiting.”
Cao Mao scoffed. He checked this strong-willed girl's status to see if her loyalty dropped again.

Fortunately, her loyalty didn't drop.
However, there was a change in her personality. The former [Expressive] turned into [Assertive], and her life goals became weird.
Cao Mao had a deep frown on his face. He sat up and stared at Ju Chen, ”Chen'er. What have you been doing these days? What are you planning? I need you to tell me everything in detail.
