The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5069

Ves estimated that in the last half hour, he turned from a Novice into a... Journeyman in cultivation science.

His understanding of many of the fundamental theories related to deliberate cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds!

He managed to overcome one of his greatest shortcomings and blindspots in record time merely by ingesting a series of enlightenment fruits.

He felt a lot more confident about his ability to survive the coming troubles of the Age of Dawn.

Now that he along with the rest of red humanity was stuck in a dwarf galaxy that became flooded with exotic radiation, any relevant knowledge on how to make the most out of E energy radiation became incomparably precious.

His head happened to be stuffed with precious secrets on how to leverage spiritual energy in all kinds of fantastic and powerful ways!

His spiritual engineering capabilities had undergone an explosive rebirth.

No longer did he have to rely on shaky and incomplete homebrew theoretical frameworks to develop his products.

He could rely on much more mature and detailed theories to form deeper interactions with more promising phenomena.

Ves already secured the essentials he needed to upgrade all of his design spirits, his companion spirits, his living mechs and a lot of other powerful works!

He quickly checked his remaining balance.

"I still have 385 Ascension Points at my disposal."

This granted him room to obtain one more decent enlightenment fruit.

Although he already obtained all of the basics, Ves wanted to obtain an extra package of theories related to harnessing different spiritual attributes.

The cultivation methods that he obtained from the Tree of Possibilities did not go in depth in this particular direction. They were all fixated on other concepts and goals to spare any room for superfluous elements.

"Let's see."

The Tree of Possibilities still offered hundreds of unplucked enlightenment fruits. Ves had no idea where the System obtained all of this secret knowledge and inheritances, but he did not feel like looking a gift horse in the mouth.

He quickly scanned through several viable options before his sight settled on the most attractive choice.

[Beginner Five Elements Spells Manual]

Price: 250 Ascension Points

Imparts a moderate selection of basic qi spells along with their associated theories based on the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, water. These qi-based techniques are organized by difficulty, complexity and other requirements and can be practiced in sequence to form a systematic repertoire of solutions.

This beginner manual offers methods to activate and make effective use of the advantages of each of the five elements. It does not contain more advanced techniques that cover the rich and varied methods to combine multiple elements to produce compound effects such as strengthening, weakening, regulation or transformation.

The price of this enlightenment fruit was greater than he was comfortable with. His balance would drop to a concerning level if he exchanged for the Beginner Five Elements Spells Manual, leaving him with an inadequate buffer against emergencies.

"It's really difficult to earn so many Ascension Points again!"

The Mission Hall demanded a lot of crazy and impractical actions from Ves in order to earn additional AP. It drove Ves crazy as he did not want to engage in work that went against his own nature.

He shook his head. He could think about earning Ascension Points and building up a healthy reserve once again at a later date.

"Buy."

Different from the enlightenment fruits that Ves bought before, this one did not come with any cultivation methods.

This was a benefit rather than a shortcoming. It meant that it was devoid of a lot of unnecessary and superstitious associations. It simply did what it said. It imparted a general theoretical framework on the five elements. It also taught a whole bunch of simple qi manipulation techniques that were directly based on this framework.

Ves deduced that the manual was originally designed with a broad and varied target audience in mind. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

All kinds of cultivators could read through the manual and pick and choose which spells they wanted to learn.

The expectation was that most of them would settle for learning a selection of spells that aligned with their most dominant and compatible elements.

It was not necessary for a cultivator to master the full repertoire of spells, especially if they were based on incompatible elements!

Only a tiny proportion of talented cultivators had any need or desire to explore all five elements.

Due to the working mechanisms of the enlightenment fruit, Ves not only familiarized himself with the full range of spells contained within the Beginner Five Elements Spells Manual, but also gained at least a basic degree of proficiency in all of them! He felt he could manipulate his own spiritual energy as well as the ambient spiritual energy around him to produce all kinds of interesting effects!

He raised his hand and recited a mantra in his mind while at the same time shaping spiritual energy in a specific pattern.

The ambient spiritual energy around him eventually formed into a small fireball, which he subsequently threw onto the ground next to the Tree of Possibilities!

Pfff.

"That's it? How useless."

While Ves was impressed by the mechanisms that effectively converted spiritual energy into a real physical fireball, he did not take the spell itself too seriously!

If he wanted to cause harm, he was better off materializing the Amastendira and pulling the trigger on his target.

"Humans are tool users. My technological products can easily outdo any of the spells that I have learned."

Ves tried out a few other spells in order to confirm how powerful they were under the current circumstances.

He managed to levitate his Hammer of Melody above his palm, but couldn't lift anything heavier.

He managed to condense the moisture in the air into enough drops of water to quench his thirst.

"From this day onwards, I can rightfully regard myself as a spiritual sorcerer!"

Of course, this was just a useless flight of fancy. Why the hell would Ves waste his time on these useless magic tricks? Human civilization was primarily based around technology, and its development in this area vastly exceeded the results produced by primitive and outdated 'spells'!

What he truly valued was acquiring the foundational theories and the underlying mechanisms of all of these spells.

The five elements no longer sounded as mysterious and inscrutable to him as before.
