Sage physique, farming monsters.
Sage physique, farming monsters.
Though not knowing anything about my Physique has never been a burden to me, I've always had this nagging feeling of not being able to use what I have.
It's been a very long time-roughly two and a half years in the ancient world-since I had this physique.
So there were reasons for me to be excited about getting a response from it now.
"Open status," I gleefully told the system.

Apart from the addition of 'awakening progress,' nothing else has changed.
But this one addition now seemed to be the most important part of my system panel.
I concentrated on the physique section of my system panel, and more details emerged.
[Sage Body{Ancient Grade}]
??? ??? ?? ??? ??? ?? ? ? ??
*The sage body physique has been semi-awakened for some time and has absorbed the bare minimum of energy to begin the awakening process*
*To awaken Stage 1 for Sage body physique, the Awakening progress must reach 10% to be considered awakened*
I smiled when I realized what this meant after reading the system message or description, which had more words than when I had previously checked my Sage Body and contained more than just question marks.
Even though I don't know a single thing about my physique, and I'm still making assumptions based on what I've read in novels in the past, though it's not ideal, it's the only option I have.
But I do know that my Sage body physique is so strong that it required a lot of energy just to enter the awakening phase, and now I need to provide it with more energy or rely on its passive mana gathering, which is too slow.
It took more than two years to enter the awakening phase, and that was when it was gathering the superior mana of the ancient world. I'm not sure how many decades it would have taken to enter the awakening state if it were gathering the mana of the real world.
And right now, if I don't want to rely on my physique's passive mana gathering, 'I can only rely on you,' I thought, looking at the remaining orbs on the ground.
Only when my body came into contact with the orb did it react after all these years, telling me how much of a treasure these orbs are the more I look at them.
This cosmos energy and divinity, or whatever it is in the orb, are exactly the type of quality energies my body requires to significantly accelerate its awakening progress.
Just the thought of having power comparable to Agneya's when she activates stage 1 of her physique is exciting.
At this point, I'd forgotten the smell of the black blood on my body and eagerly picked up the three remaining red orbs and began absorbing them as the cave gradually fell into silence.
......
After a few minutes, the last bit of three red orbs turned to smoke and entered my body.
Opening my eyes slowly, I called the system to open my status saying; 'Open Status'.

Even though it was only a small step forward and I am still a long way from stage 1 in my physique, I was still happy.
At the very least, I know the orbs are doing something.
I then infused mana into the blue orbs to absorb them.
It had many energies mixed together in harmony, just like the red orb. Something I'm almost certain the other orbs have as well.
I began to absorb it without giving it much thought.
Unlike the red orb, which was expelling impurities from my body, the blue orb was doing something completely different.
As the energy from the blue orb entered my body, the mana in my body came out and went in, repeating this cycle as I continued to absorb and my total mana reserves appeared to have decreased.
But I knew it didn't.
It's like this. Consider your mana to be a ball of clouds. That is my mana. What the blue orb did to it was release the mana in the ball, then draw it back in as my mana gradually changed from cloud to mist, from mist to liquid, and from liquid to solid-liquid. So, while my total mana reserve appears to have decreased, it was the blue orb that change the structure and made my mana superior to before.
If my total mana reserve was previously 100 units and I cast 'blink,' I will use 0.1 unit to do so. That is, ten blinks will deplete one unit of my mana.
My now superior mana reserve is also 100, and the unit to cast 'blink' now only requires 0.01 unit. That is, ten blinks will only deplete 0.1 unit of my mana.
Making it so that 100 blinks will deplete one unit of my mana with my mana now.
That's ten times better than before.
'Amazing,' I thought in awe as I continued to absorb.
.....
I finished absorbing the blue orb after a few minutes and looked at my progress.
Physique: Sage body [Ancient Grade], {Awakening progress; 0.05%},
"Nice," I said happily, looking at the other orbs, the purple and green orbs, one to increase my affinity with my element and one to increase my comprehensive ability.
Both of them, in my opinion, are completely unrelated to improving the physique, implying that their work will be elsewhere, so I packed them into my inventory with the skillbook fragment that also looks like an orb, but is transparent with a miniature letter inside, stood up, and made my way out.
'It appears that I will have to farm some monsters to obtain more orbs. I laughed to myself.
