Chapter 826 Fighting monsters is not as good as spending money, and spending money is not as good as dual cultivation
Sometimes, divine grace can materialize a person's experiences into what are called skills, and this is how Broly acquired his new Demon Lord skill.
The biggest change this skill brought to Broly was that it gave him a special organ in his body that could absorb magic power: the Demon King Crystal Core (a floor master-level magic stone).
Furthermore, since it is a magic stone formed from a skill, it is different from the magic stones in the bodies of monsters, heretics, freaks, and even those in the body of Alyssa, who was resurrected by Broly into a freak-like form.
This thing doesn't contain Broly's soul. Even if it's taken out of his body and pulverized, it won't have much of an effect on Broly. Simply put, it doesn't have any negative effect, creating a fatal weakness for the skill's user.
After the magic stone is removed, Broly can also activate the [Demon King] skill to use magic power to re-condense a new magic stone in his body. The quality of the magic stone is linked to the amount of magic power input during the gestation process and the gestation time. It can be formed directly when it reaches the quality of the floor master. However, if more magic power is inputted, the quality of the magic stone can be further improved, but there is a boundary effect.
"So, once you've upgraded it enough, just open your chest and take it out. Combined with your Dragon Talisman, wouldn't you become a magical device capable of infinitely producing Floor Lord Magic Stones?"
"Miss Fells, theoretically yes."
"But what's the reality?"
"If I actually do that, my stats will stagnate. Although the magic stones I create can sell for a lot of money, do I look like I'm short of money right now?"
"Uh, it doesn't seem like it."
Fels shook his head.
"But if you're not short of money, why are you still producing magic stones?"
In the magic laboratory, Broly was cutting open his chest to extract the stone without even blinking. He simply pointed his sword into his chest and dug out the blood-stained magic stone.
Then, he used healing magic on himself, and after his injuries were healed, he used the Demon King's skill to condense a new magic stone.
While gathering magic, he used dragon talismans to restore his own magic power. After a new magic stone was born, he repeated the above process.
In the box next to it, a pile of floor-master quality magic stones had already been stacked up. If they were taken to the guild and sold, they could probably fetch more than a billion magic stones.
"The reason I produce magic stones is simple: my body can convert magic power into magic stones, but it can't directly convert magic power into experience points. However, my magic stones can convert the magic power within them into experience points, which become nourishment for my body to become stronger."
Through experimentation, Broly discovered that he could become stronger by directly consuming magic stones, just like monsters and demons.
In terms of stats, his Demon King Crystal Core can convert the magic stones he consumes into experience points for his stats.
"The higher the quality of the magic stone, the more experience points it provides. The magic stones of the highest quality are the most cost-effective because their generation speed is just right and they provide enough experience. As for higher quality magic stones, the longer generation time will actually reduce the efficiency of gaining experience points."
Broly explained that the magic stones in the basket were almost overflowing, which made him stop digging for stones with his arms crossed.
"So, you produce these magic stones for your own consumption?"
Watching Broly toss the magic stones from the basket back into his mouth and eat them, Fels' expression was somewhat conflicted, like watching a hen lay an egg and then eat it himself.
However, she could understand Broly's actions. After all, the energy consumed to nurture the magic stone came from the dragon talisman, while the experience points gained from consuming the magic stone were her own.
"Don't underestimate the experience points these magic stones can provide. Eating one is roughly equivalent to more than 10,000 experience points."
Even with my current stat total of 55s, and each point of stat requiring 55 times the experience, a single magic stone I produce myself can give me over 200 stat points. Just 25 of these magic stones would be enough to raise my overall stat total by one S.
level.
"And to create such a quick-growing magic stone, each one only takes me 30 seconds. The magic stones I produce in a day, which I then consume to gain experience and improve my stats, are even faster than if I went down into the dungeon to fight monsters."
"Wait, according to you, that means you only need to produce magic stones non-stop for a little over 36 days, and the experience points from those magic stones will be enough to instantly increase your current stats to 100s?"
Fels only did a quick mental calculation before arriving at this conclusion, while Broly stared blankly at the wise lady.
Broly wasn't illiterate, but he wasn't very well-educated either. He clearly had no concept of arithmetic sequence formulas.
However, he could understand Fels' calculation of the number of magic stones he needed to raise his ability value to 100s, and the time he would need to produce them without sleep.
"First of all, I can't produce magic stones non-stop. Also, it takes time for me to devour and digest magic stones, and this time is related to the quality of the magic stones in my body. Under the same quality, the time is one to one. However, if the quality of the magic stones in my body is higher, it can increase the digestion speed."
"What's the maximum possible increase?"
"It should be ten times, corresponding to the adventurer's level."
Of course, I rated it according to my own absorption efficiency.
"A quick-form magic stone like this is level one."
"So, if you produce higher quality magic stones, is the time also calculated in corresponding multiples?"
"No, the higher the quality of the magic stone, the more time it takes to produce. With the help of the Dragon Talisman, it takes me half a day to produce a level 10 Demon King Crystal Core."
"I see. But are you planning to just devour all the magic stones you produced?"
"What else can we do besides eating it raw?"
"I mean, does the magic stone taste good?"
"6
"Would you like to try some?"
"Uh, never mind, I can't digest magic stones anyway."
Seeing the magic stone the boy offered him, Fels quickly waved his hand.
"By the way, don't you have that kind of magic that allows you to absorb other people's energy and also transfer your own energy to others?"
"You mean the Touch of Absorption?"
"Yes, that's the magic you used to restore our energy. Can it be used on the magic stone?"
"I really don't know, but I can give it a try."
The Touch of Absorption is a unique spell of certain ghost-like undead races in the world of Konosuba. It does not enhance strength; it is simply an undead recovery spell that restores HP and MP.
Broly learned this magic from Master Wiz through the unique nature of the adventurer profession. He combined it with his own aura to create a technique that plunders auras. However, he mostly discarded the life energy he absorbed or used it to make vitality potions.
However, he did use this magic to eat the legs of the Vampira spider, but it was essentially just to replenish the energy his body had consumed.
"Wow, it actually works?!"
I thought that if I didn't eat the magic stone directly, the Demon King's Crystal Core might not acknowledge it, but I didn't expect that after absorbing the energy of a magic stone into my body with the Touch of Absorption, that energy was directly received by the Demon King's Crystal Core.
Why doesn't it want the pure energy directly provided by the dragon talisman?
Broly was somewhat puzzled.
Could it be that all they need is bioenergy?
He had a guess, and acted on it immediately.
"Miss Fells, can I do you a favor?"
"What is it?"
"Can I suck on it?"
Broly's sudden request made Fels' eyes widen in surprise.
Although he was also the wife in the outside position, Broly never forced himself to do anything.
However, although the request was sudden, Fels did not refuse it.
She was already somewhat prepared when she became Broly's outsider wife.
"Okay, then take your pants off."
"Wait, why do I need to take my pants off?"
"Didn't you say you'd let me suck it for you?"
"Oh, you thought it was this kind of inhalation?"
"Isn't that right?"
Inside the magic laboratory, the two stared at each other, wide-eyed.
"I'm referring to the absorption in the Touch of Absorption. I want to test the life energy I absorb from you to see if the Demon King Crystal Core within my body can be directly absorbed and converted into experience."
Fels: "————"
Her usually aloof and expressionless face now has a bit of color.
"However, Miss Fells, if you are willing, I will not refuse."
Of course, let's get down to business now.
Broly took the initiative to change the subject, thus easing the awkwardness.
"it is good."
Fels responded and stepped forward to absorb life energy from Broly.
However, Broly immediately placed his hand on her chest.
"Uh, why press here?"
"Because the heart is the source of life, the place that absorbs life energy the fastest."
"Why didn't you press this spot when you were helping me regain my energy?"
"This kind of place can easily trigger unnecessary desires. The reason I helped restore your energy before was to study something."
"Okay, that makes sense."
Fels had to admit the boy's meticulousness, but now, with Broly's hand pressed against his chest, his heart was beating somewhat abnormally fast.
"So, does the Demon King's Crystal Core within you want my life energy?"
Fels took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Seeing the Saiyan boy raise his eyebrows slightly, he couldn't help but ask.
"want."
Broly nodded in response, stating that the Demon King's Crystal Core absorbed almost all the life energy from Fels' body.
To verify the conversion into experience points, Broly quickly brought in Hestia to update her ability values in real time.
After some testing, Broly discovered that extracting life energy directly from living beings was more efficient at gaining experience points than consuming magic stones.
"But no one can withstand your kind of absorption, right?"
After only a short while of experimentation, Fels was left somewhat weak by Broly's draining of his life energy. He had to drink two bottles of stamina and mana recovery potions before he could catch his breath.
"That's true."
Broly nodded and tried to channel his energy into the Demon King's Crystal Core, but the Crystal Core seemed to recognize that the life energy was his own and refused to absorb any of it.
"That's only natural. Otherwise, if someone else were to acquire your Demon King skill, the resulting Demon King Crystal Core might suck them to death."
"That's true. However, since you can share my magic, you should also be able to use the Touch of Absorption. How about this: I'll absorb your life energy to nourish the Demon King's Crystal Core, and you'll absorb my life energy to replenish your own. You can even use Demon King skills to form a magic stone within your body. We can then absorb each other's life energy to create a cycle, how about that?"
"?!"
Fels was taken aback, but after careful consideration, he found the plan to be highly feasible.
The next day, after taking two days off, Miss Amid, the battlefield saintess, returned to work at the Fireplace Magic Laboratory. When she opened the door, she saw two people embracing intimately inside.
"Ah~"
She let out a scream.
"Miss Amid, please don't misunderstand, we are cultivating."
"What kind of cultivation requires stripping naked and embracing each other?"
"Taking off their clothes and hugging each other is to increase the magical effect of the Absorption Touch, not what you're thinking."
Broly and Fels, now dressed, were explaining things to the Battlefield Saintess, while others who had been drawn by the screams listened to their explanation.
Lily Luca looked at Fels with a scrutinizing gaze. After becoming a member of the Crystal Palace, this wise lady did not get close to Broly, always remaining on the fringes. She thought he really had no intention of getting close, but the current situation made her suspect that he was actually plotting something in secret.
After all, according to Miss Amid's description, the position of Brother Broly and this sage in the magic laboratory, even if they did not actually unite, was still an ambiguous situation with their bellies pressed together.
"Miss Fels, do you mean we can also practice dual cultivation with Brother Broly?"
However, after some explanation, and understanding why the erotic scene that made Miss Amid scream appeared in the magic laboratory, Lily Luca's attention was quickly drawn to Broly's talk of dual cultivation. After all, simply embracing each other could quickly increase one's stats.

After the Demon King's skills appeared, and after several days of research, Broly and Fels devised a path of dual cultivation that conformed to the worldview of DanMachi.
However, one must possess both the Absorption Touch Magic and the Demon King Skill to walk this path. To put it bluntly, only those who have encountered Broly's Wings Skill and whose Absorption Touch Magic and Demon King Skill are shared with him can walk this path.
In the rooms of the Hearth Hall, people began to appear embracing each other and practicing the dual cultivation method.
Whether it's with Broly, or a chance encounter with a partner, or a wife in an external position, it's a kind of training exercise.
Those with similar strength will benefit most from training together, as one side will not be held back.
"Rivia, can you help me with my training?"
"What about Broly?"
"He's very busy. There are many of us queuing up to practice dual cultivation with him, but now I've run out of time."
"Aren't you going to rest?"
I want to become stronger.
Faced with the sword maiden's request to help me with my training, Kumohime could not refuse.
Of course, without the aid of dragon talismans, those who engage in dual cultivation must periodically consume a magic recovery potion and a stamina recovery potion to replenish the life energy consumed during dual cultivation.
After helping Ais finish her training, and holding the somewhat tired Ais in her arms, Riveria suddenly felt that agreeing to join Crystal Palace was the right choice, as it would allow her to take care of Ais, this child, up close.
"However, dual cultivation consumes a lot of potions. In less than half a day of cultivation, more than ten million Fali of recovery potions were used up."
"Yes, the potion is consumed quickly, but the advantage is that our ability values are increasing rapidly. I feel like I can go to Loki's place tomorrow to update our ability values."

As the magic stone lamp dimmed, the two women, who were not actually mother and daughter, embraced each other and fell asleep.
