The Strongest Businessman

Dylan was shocked by the mind boggling discovery he just made! This stone was able to quickly make him advance a stage?! How amazing was this stone?! The sum left would help him breakthrough to the 7th level immediately! Judging by the consumption rate of his cultivation technique, 16 of this stone would help him to be able to directly advance a whole level!

Reaching the 6th level Spirit Veins Realm would enable him to fight toe to toe with a 10th level Spirit Veins Realm because of the purity of his energy is of High Spirit Cultivation technique and his comprehension towards his techniques that have already broken through to the Perfection stage.

If he were to advance to the seventh level, then he would be able to completely dominate the Spirit Veins Realm and fight with a level 11 Initial Stage Awakened Spirit Realm. He would not need to fear anyone as he will become as strong as a local clan head in any city.

Being able to balance his comprehension and his cultivation, his strength has soared indefinitely! Even he does not know as to what extent his strength has increased.

"I guess I'll call you "Deca Stone"." Dylan named the gray colored stones.

With the use of the Deca-Stone, he was able to break open 5 spirit veins in a flash! Since every level in the Spirit Veins Realm requires to unlock 25 veins, each stage requires that a person should unlock 5 spirit veins in order to advance. Many people would do anything just to be able to unlock a single vein but with the help of the energy supplied by the Deca-Stone, Dylan is able to easily commit a breakthrough.

If word got out regarding the mystical wonders that this stone would enable a cultivator to be able to quickly unlock 5 spirit veins, the whole city of Soaring Cloud would be driven crazy about this matter.

"Now time to cultivate once more!" Dylan reverted back to his prior position sitting cross-legged in meditation. He adjusted his mental state and entered a perfect cultivation condition.

He grasped two stones and gripped on it. The two stones shattered as an earth-shattering energy entered all throughout Dylan's body. The energy ventured all across Dylan's​ body and cleansed all of the impurities he had previously took. The energy circulated continuously as it carried all the impurities within Dylan's Body as Dylan advanced to the High 6th level Spirit Veins Realm..

There was a sticky darkish liquid substance forming on top of Dylan's skin. The skin melted away from Dylan's body bit by bit. By the time the sticky substance was completely cleansed, Dylan felt that his body has become lighter compared to before. It was more fairer in complexion.

He opened another 5 spirit veins just like that! He had now a total of 15 veins and the duration of time in which he did to do so was only an hour! If people were to know of this, they would faint from shock!

It was not the sickly pale white complexion but the lively and healthy rlsy white skin. His muscles became more defined and buffer. His hair was a bit long as well so he thought that it needed to be cut. Suddenly, strange sensation filled his mouth. He vomited black stinky substance and he felt brighter than ever as though he was reborn.

" Is this... Marrow Cleansing, Purifying the Body?" Dylan scanned his memories as a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Marrow Cleansing, Purifying the Body is a special phenomenon that would occur once a cultivator manages to refine an energy or treasure which has utmost purity, superior in strength, or great herbal and medicinal efficacy. The energy purifies every inch of a cultivators' body and forces all impurities out of the body through sweating and vomitting.

It is said after undergoing this type of cultivation phenomenon your foundation deepens by several folds and his comprehension would be beyond comparison. It would also ensure stable and robust cultivation base that would not fall into Cultivation Deviation.

Cultivation Deviation is a condition of a cultivator wherein​ the cultivators' cultivation base would divert from the norm of cultivation which is equivalent to becoming a cripple. With the occurrence of the Marrow Cleansing Purifying the Body, he would be almost guaranteed to not fall into Cultivation Deviation.

"This stone also incites such a great phenomenon? Unbelievable..." Dylan could not fathom the mystery that the Mansion have in stored for him. Even the most initial of its mystery left him unbelieving. What more of the latter mysteries he will discover in the future?

But, he also knew that there are responsibilities that corresponded with the strength he would be gaining. He needed​ to avenge the death of his late master and his master's wives and comrades. He needed to find out the identities of the perpetrators and the murderers to realize his quest.

"Okay. Continue!" Dylan decided to not delay any further and started resuming his meditation. He took out his 16 other stones and started cultivating again.

With the boost of the Deca-Stone, he was able to shuttle through in his advancement! He opened another 10 spirit veins this time and with a total of 25 veins, Dylan has formally entered the Pinnacle stage! But he discovered that he was no longer unable to advance because there was only 2 more left.

Recalling his expenditure, he used 1 Deca-Stone to advance from Initial to Intermediate, 2 to reach High, 4 for Peak and 8 to reach Pinnacle. His rate of consumption doubled every single stage he advanced to. This disappointed Dylan for a bit because his rate of consumption has risen more significantly that he thought at first.

"Now, I know what the main characters of light novels feel because of their overly robust cultivation base, they tend to use more resources than what the masses use. How breaking it is." Dylan laughed bitterly at this. Now, he knew what the main characters of the light novels that he had read truly felt. He felt tragic to how he used all of those Deca-Stones.

"Well, there's not much I can do about it is there? Strength truly comes with a price." Dylan consoled himself by telling his self like so.

After feeling down about the Deca-Stones, he checked his condition and after truly verifying that everything was fine, he felt relieved. With some thought, he did some routines and he was shocked to discover that he has also attained Perfection in his movement technique, Seven Soft Steps.

After careful consideration, he then felt that it was only natural because the Marrow Cleansing Purifying the Body occurred and helped him with the slight push he needed to comprehend the Perfection stage of battle techniques.He now felt even more confident that he could dominate the entire Spirit Veins Realm with this boost!

"Hahahaha, I'm even stronger than before." Dylan laughed heartily as the joy of becoming stronger overwhelmed him.

After laughing for a few minutes, Dylan calculated that he had already spent five hours in this cave! Although he did not sleep, he could not feel any type of tiredness and fatigue. He knew it was because of the cleansing that happened in his body.

"It's now time to check the other stone. I'll call it Centurial Stone." Dylan picked up the stone and held it parallel to him.

"I wonder what this stone would do for me!" Dylan anticipated many things from this little stone as the prior two contributed greatly to his cultivation.

"Maybe, it would be a higher grade of Deca Stone too?" Dylan's eyes brightened in excitement as he anticipated the wonderkid ability that this Centurial Stone would have.

So, Dylan slowly crushed it. The remains formed into a tube and shot towards Dylan's abdomen.

"It's a bit different? But who cares as long as I get more powerful!" Dylan howled in excitement.

.....

But after waiting for several moments, nothing happened. The sudden increase in his cultivation did not happen. This made Dylan confused.

"What just happened? Did I do it wrongly? Or maybe it needs to take some time?" Dylan awkwardly thought but he still persisted to wait.

After waiting for 5 minutes....

"It just take some time. Patience is a virtue!"

After 15 minutes...

"Maybe... A little bit more time?"

After 30 minutes....

"Did I really do it... wrongly​?"

After 1 hour....

"Hey, please work already! Pleeeeaaaasse!" Dylan began to beg.

After 2 hours...

"Charan! Ughh... Still nothing!" Dylan was now in the verge of crying.

After 3 hours...

"WHAT THE F***!!! WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING?!?!" Dylan exploded in anger. He could not understand why not a thing is happening. He felt like he wasted a treasure.

After 4 hours of waiting....

"Nothing... The heavens is making fun of me... HAHAHA!" Dylan laughed hysterically but in truth his heart was broken from wasting such a treasure.

"It's been 5 hours, huh... I think it's nearing dawn... I need to go back and set up the restaurant..." Dylan spoke bitterly. He felt that wasting such a treasure is the same as wasting his efforts entertaining a hundred costumers.

So he sat down and meditated to fully recover. He sat down cross-legged and entered meditation. But, his body trembled as he opened his eyes in shock.

"How can this be...?" Dylan was stunned as though he saw a ghost and he became to utter words that even he did not believe himself despite being the one who said it. He said:

"The ... Centurial Stones's function...is to give me... an additional.... spirit vein?!"
