Back in the Divine Domain Fragment, the four large coins he had gotten from Hal flew out on their own.
Source essence?
Compared to the surprise he had felt before, Karl was now much calmer when faced with an item containing source essence.
"Huh?"
Karl uttered a sound of surprise.
It was different from before.
Previously, after the source essence contained in an item was absorbed, the item itself remained, at most losing some of its properties.
This time was different.
The four large coins slowly disintegrated in midair. As their source essence was absorbed, the coins themselves vanished completely.
"Hmm..."
Karl rubbed his chin.
"Could it be that this thing is made entirely of source essence?"
There were still too many secrets about source essence and the Divine Domain Fragment that he didn't know, and he couldn't get an answer right away.
He decided to stop thinking about it.
Besides expanding the space inside the Divine Domain Fragment, the four large coins had given him 0.4 source essence.
Each one gave him 0.1.
Without much thought, Karl added the source essence directly to his physique.
Name: Karl
Physique: 2.3
Mental Strength: 2
Source Essence: 0
Profession: Knight, Intermediate Wizard Apprentice
He added it to his physique for two reasons. First, it was simply a matter of habit: the stronger his physique, the better his ability to withstand risks.
Second,
with the Light of Wisdom potion, he could still cultivate his mental strength and increase it. Even if he developed a tolerance, it would only slow his progress.
Physique was different. Unless he had a constant supply of high-quality Exotic Beast Meat, it would be extremely difficult to improve it further.
Cultivation only got harder the further one progressed.
Karl set the box of unidentified meatballs aside for the moment
