Number One Dungeon Supplier

When the process was done, Jin gasped for air as he vomited the remaining volume of blood in his lungs. "The fuck…" Jin said as he coughed continuously for a few seconds or so before Ming brought him a glass of water.

"Well, at least your body is all tuned up. I even make sure that there is space for your body to grow even more complex chi circuits if needed." Ming said as he rubbed the sweat off his forehead.

"If that does not comfort you, we have the fried rice to replenish our-" Ming pointed backwards with his thumb but as he turned his head, the huge plate of fried rice was all cleaned up. All that was left were scattered rice pieces on the table and a very bloated white tiger yawning.

"BYAKKKO!" Jin shouted as his chi aura suddenly went to top gear and his anger was directed towards the Tiger of the West.

"What? What?!" Byakko who was about to sleep from a filling meal suddenly felt an overflowing menace from Jin.

"MY FRIED -COUGH FRIED RICE!" Jin shouted and Byakko stood at his four paws ready for a counterattack as well.

"It's too AWESOME to not resist! Heh! If you wish to fight for just a plate of fried rice. BE. MY. GUEST."  Byakko fired up his electric Maqi and the cabin they were in was vibrating from the competing auras. There was no need to prepare for any consequences for he did not mind the exercise to burn off the excessive calories.

"Enough the both of you." Ming said and a tap from his shoe instantly caused the two auras to vanish, causing them to be breathless. This was because the aura Ming emanated was way stronger than the two of them were portraying.

"Jin, I am sorry but it looks like you are fated to that fried rice today. Why don't you go back to your world? Perhaps, someone out there would be willing to cook for you the very same thing too. Meanwhile, let me teach our housecat some table manners." Ming smiled weakly at Jin before he waved his hand, causing the Astral Panda Cultivator to fly out of the cabin and back into his conscious world.

No doubt it jolted Jin out of his subconscious realm and left him gasping for air once more. However, for the first time, he realised that there was no sludge around him or oozing out of him at all. The System immediately queried if Jin was fine even though its system analytics had determined his vitals were normal.

"Yea, yea I am fine." He touched his body a little and noticed that he did feel lighter than usual and requested for the System to do a quick analysis on his chi and mana circuits.

The System did as requested and was shocked to find that his circuits were optimal for battle. "Your chi and mana plexus are well organised and the System estimated that the flow of Maqi output will increase by at least twice fold. However, given the multiplier effect from the combination of chi and mana, there is a possibility that hitting four fold was not too far fetched. Congratulations User, for a supposed grade up."

"That's...good to hear. And can I ask, did I produce any sludge?" Jin wanted to know since if his circuits are unblocked, he should not be producing any more sludge.

"Negative. No sludge production which also prompted the System to be curious if the User had encountered any problem with his cultivation. But given the reorganisation of your chi and mana circuits, it should be a decent trade off for not having any more sludge by-products." The System said and Jin could feel that it was disappointed. The sludge was a precious new type of resource which the System felt was an omnipotent item that could be utilised in various fields.

And thus, Jin decided to try producing the very same sludge during his waking hours. "Technically, Genbu should be under my control now...so I should be able to do so without being in cultivation mode." Jin said as he opened his palm and concentrated to visualise the formation of sludge.

To his surprise, the moment he opened his palm, the thought of making the sludge had already gone underway and a sphere of sludge was generated right in front of him, spinning rapidly as if it was barely the end of the product making process.

Hence, Jin continued to imagine the sludge formation, further refining it with his thoughts in order to make it denser so that it would be more useful for the System. Soon, it solidified right in front of him and produced a pearl bead.

However, the moment he relaxed his thoughts and tried to hold the pearl bead with his fingers, the bead suddenly erupted with its shape changed into something similar to a bed of spiky looking crystals, as if there was an explosion right inside the bead itself that caused its deformation.

"Ehhhh hahaa... Sorry, System, guess I am not able to control the creation of the sludge yet." Jin said as he put the Sludge crystal rock right in front of the System allowing it to determine its quality.

"User…" The System called out.

"Not good? I apologised once more, this is after all my first time creating this." Jin scratched his head, thinking about how to improve the formation of the sludge.

"No, User. This particular sludge crystal rock that you created is so concentrated that once refined, its quality itself provides more energy than the quantity we had kept in our storage."  The System stated and Jin was taken aback.

"What...what do you mean?" Jin asked and the System reported that if the crystal were to be used as part of its use for energy consumption, it could theoretically cover what they had accumulated throughout the entire few months.

"This is no longer a by-product, but an actual product of your Maqi. If applied correctly, you can even use this for your battles. Being a dungeon supplier to create minions on the spot does not sound an impossibility with your new powers." The System said and Jin wondered if his latest grade up was way too overpowered.

But all things considered, especially being the same grade as Grandma Yuan, Jin should not be that surprised.
