East Meet West - Chapter 301: Magic Circles

301- Magic Circles

3 Low grade Energy Cores

2 Milky white pearls

1 Millennial Meteor Ruby

These 3 items will play a vital role in Orochi’s breakthrough.

Then Orochi opened the system shop, went to the ‘Sorcerer Job’ category, and clicked on the ‘Magic Circles’ button.

After quick browsing, Orochi’s eyes stopped on a series of words.

.

‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 1]’

Cost: 10 million Sikka

.

Orochi immediately bought it and all the information related to the ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 1]’ was transferred to his brain.

It took him almost half a minute to digest this information.

Since, he collected Low grade energy Cores, Millennial Meteor Ruby, and Milky White Pearls, for storing MP and Spiritual Qi in it, then he needs to prepare ways to do it.

When Orochi first found the Millennial Meteor Ruby, he tried to transfer MP into it and store it for later uses.

But when the MP came out of his body and came into the contact with the ruby, just a little trace of MP was absorbed by the Millennial Meteor Ruby, and the rest dissipated into the air.

Orochi estimated that if 1000 units of MP is supplied to the Millennial Meteor Ruby, then only 1 unit will be stored in it and the rest will be wasted.

So, Orochi had to find a way to eliminate this issue.

But luckily, he did not have to struggle much, because he already found a solution to his problem in the system’s shop.

And that solution is ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 1]’

Magic Circles are similar to Arrays and Formation in the world of cultivation.

The only difference is that they belong to different paths. [Here path refers to the way in which any living being can become stronger and reach the top of the food chain. Cultivation is one path. Magic is another path, similarly, genetic enhancement, technological advancement are some other paths. This information is for those, who are new to the cultivation and martial arts novels.]

But unlike Arrays and Formation, which require external objects to lay them; Magic Circle can be drawn using MP of the user.

Of course, that is for the lower level of Magic Circles, as for whether high level Magic Circles require any external objects, it can only be found in the future.

The ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link’ is a type of magic circle that is used to establish a two-way connection between an object and a living being, and this connection is used to transfer MP between the object and the living being.

So, with the ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link’, Orochi can send his MP into the objects that can store MP or spiritual Qi. And when he requires it, he can extract it.

Yes, ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link’ can also be used to store spiritual Qi into objects.

The reason why he needs to store Spiritual Qi and MP in various items is that while he is trying to breakthrough to the Transformation realm, his body will require a huge amount of Spiritual Qi.

Hence, that’s why he arranged a Red Grade Level 5 Spiritual Qi gathering array.

But even that is not enough, so he has to prepare other methods to get sufficient Spiritual Qi during his breakthrough.

Hence, he exchanged for the ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 1]’, so that he can establish a connection between himself and the items.

So, he will store MP in them, and when he needs Spiritual Qi, he can extract the MP from them and convert it into Spiritual Qi.

Since he has already digested the knowledge regarding the ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 1], he did not delay any longer. And started to draw the Magic Circle accordingly.

As previously mentioned, Magic Circle does not need any external items. It just requires MP.

So, Orochi placed the Millennial Meteor Ruby on the ground, and taking it as a center, Orochi started to draw a Magic Circle around it, with his index finger.

At the tip of his Index Finger, a small and regular amount of MP would gather and as Orochi’s finger moves like a pen writing on a paper, the MP acts like ink and gets engraved on the ground.

Due to his proper control, he made almost no mistakes, and even the practice gained from the formations and arrays, helped him to draw the ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 1]’ without any mistake.

After 15 minutes or so, the magic circle was finally completed and Orochi dripped a drop of his blood on the magic circle.

Shing

As soon as the drop of blood landed on the magic circle, it got activated and started to radiate light inside the cave.

Swish

A ray of light shot out from the magic circle and it landed on Orochi’s chest. And the Millennial Meteor Ruby also started to float in the air.

The Millennial Meteor Ruby was at the core of the Magic Circle and the Magic Circle spun slowly, but it gave off a feeling- cool.

Yes, seeing such a sight brings him the memories of all the shows he used to watch in his past life.

Shaking his head, Orochi sent a ray of MP towards the Millennial Meteor Ruby.

As soon as the MP touched its surface, it absorbed it like a sponge.

After that, the magic circle radiated a strong light and an invisible connection was felt by Orochi.

A few seconds later, the Magic Circle shrank and entered the Millennial Meteor Ruby and the Ruby that has been floating landed in Orochi’s hands.

Orochi could feel a subtle connection between himself and the Millennial Meteor Ruby in his hand.

It’s like a pipe has been connected from his heart to the Millennial Meteor Ruby in his hand.

With a thought, Orochi sent 1000 units of MP into the Millennial Meteor Ruby.

And the system displayed a message,

‘ding’

‘Connection with the Millennial Meteor Ruby has been established.’

‘MP= 1000/1,000,000,000’

.

Seeing this, Orochi smiled and continued to transfer more MP to the Millennial Meteor Ruby, simultaneously he also tested a few things, so that he can learn more about the ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 1]’ and learn its proper characteristics.

So, after transferring about 1.2 million MP to the Millennial Meteor Ruby, Orochi stopped.

During this period of operation, he learned the nature of ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 1]’.

And one of the main findings is that Orochi can only transfer about 10,000 units of MP per second, whether it be putting MP into an item or taking back MP from an item.

And the reason behind this limitation is the level of the Magic Circle.

Since it is a Level 1 Magic Circle, it will have limited capabilities.

So, if Orochi wants to upgrade this, then he will have to buy other Magic Circles like ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 2]’.

Unfortunately, the ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 2]’ is locked, so he can only use the ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 1]’ for now and wait until the ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 2]’ is unlocked.

But the funniest thing is that Orochi’s MP transfer is barely able to keep up with the speed at which he is recovering MP, which is at 3000 MP per second.

The time taken for Orochi to transfer 1.2 million units of MP to the Millennial Meteor Ruby is 2 minutes, and in these 2 minutes, he has already recovered another 360,000 units of MP.

Seeing this situation, Orochi smiled wryly and shook his head.

Nevertheless, at this moment the ‘Mind Network’ ability that has been recently acquired, will play its role.

The Parent mind, which is Orochi’s mind has control over 2 Child Minds.

So, Orochi assigned the task of transferring MP into the Millennial Meteor Ruby to one of the Child Mind.

After that, Orochi started to draw the ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 1]’ for the remaining 2 milky white pearls and 3 low grade energy cores. And it took him another 80 minutes to draw the ‘Magic Circle- MP Transfer Link [Level 1]’.

2 Milky White pearls were linked to the heart, where the MP is stored.

And the 3 low grade energy cores were connected to his Dantian.

Then he assigned the task of transferring Spiritual Qi to the remaining Child Mind.

With this, both Child Minds got busy.
