"Actually, it\'s really simple." Ash started explaining, "What you need to do first is by simply gathering Pure Mana into your hands, then convert the Pure Mana into an Element Mana with the same Element as the Magical resources. Second, with the Element Mana now in your hand, you will then use the Element Mana to act as a magnet to pull out the Element Mana inside the Magical resources. And the moment you finish the second step, the last step would be, you just need to simply absorb the Element Mana to yourself, of course, that includes the Element Mana you have converted from Pure Mana."

"Ohhh, it\'s actually as easy as that!" Leo\'s eyes lit up brightly after discovering such a way.

He quickly closed his eyes, gathered Pure Mana from his surrounding, and converted it to Earth Element Mana. After doing that, with the Earth Element Mana on his hand now, he then began pulling the Earth Element Mana inside the Earth Crystal by simply connecting both strands of Earth Element Mana together and making the Earth Element Mana on his hand as the center point of all the Earth Element Mana. By doing so, the Earth Element Mana inside the Earth Crystal will be pulled towards the center point, which is his hand.

After doing that, the Earth Element Mana in the Earth Crystal was finally all pulled to his hand, and hence finally allowing him to begin the absorption.

*Whoooosh!

The Earth Element Mana quickly traveled from his hand to his entire body, and finally to his consciousness, where all the Mana and Magic related stuff gathered in place.

Leo suddenly opened his eyes soon after, feeling refresh and full of energy. The entire process from the gathering, converting, pulling, or transferring, and lastly absorbing just lasted for a meager 10 minutes or so, 50 minutes less than what he had always been doing before.

"It can actually work in such a way!" Leo exclaimed in excitement. With this, he will finally not waste time. In the past, he actually needed an hour or more in order to finish one single Magical resources, but with this newly discovered method, he can finally finish one single Magical resources in just 10 or so minutes, or worst, maybe around 15 to 20 minutes, actually it completely depends on the level of the Magical resources.

Ash can\'t help smiling after seeing the excited Leo.

Unexpectedly though, Leo suddenly turned solemn as he looked at Ash\'s eyes and asked, "If absorbing the Element Mana around me is possible, then doesn\'t that simply meant that even if I don\'t have any Magical resources I would still be able to cultivate?"

"Unfortunately, doing something like that is stupid." Ash shook her head.

"Why?" Leo curiously asked.

"The Pure Mana we have gathered in the air around us might be called Pure Mana, but impurities actually still exist within them. Converting this Pure Mana into Element Mana wouldn\'t also remove these hidden impurities. So, if you indeed only absorb the Element Mana you have converted from Pure Mana after absorbing it from your surrounding, a day would eventually come where your consciousness will become full of impurities, which would also become the cause why cultivating would become extremely hard for you." Ash explained, "On the other hand, the Pure Mana and Element Mana found inside Magical resources, although it still contains impurities within them, it actually only amounts to less than 0.001% compare to the Mana we have gathered from the surrounding, so getting your consciousness to be full of impurities is hardly possible from happening."

Leo thought for a bit before he finally nodded his head. Indeed, in the same case as Mana stones found in caves, it still requires them to purify the Mana stone before they can finally use it.

Teacher Marvin had actually taught them before that such a thing only happens because the air all around them contains different Element Mana, and each of this Element Mana is not compatible with each other, hence they are bound to clash and destroy one another. Like for example, if a Nature Element Mana clashes with Fire Element Mana, the Nature Element Mana would then vanish because Fire Element Mana can easily burn the Nature Element Mana.

However, the Nature Element Mana actually didn\'t vanish but had instead turned into impurities.

These impurities are harmful to any person\'s body, except for Magical Beast because they basically have Consciousness Cleansing every time they rise up in level, like from No Star to 1 Star level, they will have the Consciousness Cleansing.

Consciousness Cleansing is an event where the Magical Beast, or any person with affinity to Mana, can cleanse away the impurities out from their body.

Such Consciousness Cleansing, for Humans or any Foreign races though, only happens in every 5 levels. Simply put, they will only experience such an event only at 5 Star level, the moment they broke through from the Star level, and so on and so forth.

Taking all of those into consideration, that arrives at the conclusion that absorbing the Pure Mana gathered from the surrounding is harmful and is strictly not required.

"If it\'s harmful, then why did you teach it to me?" Leo can\'t help becoming dumbfounded after discovering that what he had absorbed before contains a lot of impurities. Additionally, the impurities inside the Magical resources, although it only amounts to a meager 0.001%, is still a number, so it will definitely add on to the impurities he had gathered from the Pure Mana he had gathered in his surrounding.

"That\'s the only choice you have because you don\'t have any Cultivation technique. If only you have a Cultivation technique, then it would be the Cultivation technique that pulls the Element Mana inside the Magical resources, instead of the Element Mana you have gathered from your surrounding." Ash rolled her eyes. It wasn���t like she had pushed Leo to choose to do such an action, right? She only gave him the best method available for him right now, and doing it was entirely up to him.

To be honest, Leo had actually forgotten about it because of his excitement. Only after he finished absorbing did, he finally remembered about such an important teaching of teacher Marvin.

"Nevermind!" Leo replied in displeasure. But not to Ash, but to himself, since it was obviously his own fault.

"Oh yeah, I noticed that I\'m finally in my bottleneck and that I supposedly only require a small amount more in order to break through to 1 Star. However, after absorbing the Earth Crystal, I noticed that it barely moves by a bit." Leo curiously asked.

"It\'s simply because you also need to develop your Magic spells to the standard of 1 Star level," Ash replied, seemingly like stating the obvious.

"Oh..." Leo simply nodded his head as he was quickly able to understand what Ash really meant about.

It was already a known fact for him that only by training with the Magic spells can he improve its Magic Power, and since he\'s a Mage, it is indeed just reasonable for the Magic spell to reach the standard of a 1 Star level in order for him to finally breakthrough.

"Good luck!" Ash waved her hand as she walked up in front. She noticed that they were finally almost out of the Twilight Forest, and one of her men also sent out a signal that they had met with other people in front of them.

Leo also noticed that, so he quickly abandoned his plans of continuing with his cultivation as he went to follow after Ash.

The moment Leo and Ash arrived in front of the group, they immediately saw a merchant caravan busying themselves to leave Silver Kingdom. Just by basing on the fact that they have prepared almost all of their things, specifically clothes, products, and even their slaves were present, so arriving at the conclusion that they are leaving is pretty easy.

What\'s even more shocking was, there wasn\'t only one merchant caravan, but many more others nearby the first merchant caravan they have first seen.

"Hey!" Leo waved his hand to call out to the merchant that belongs to the merchant caravan.

Hearing Leo\'s words, the merchant, a fat guy, quickly turned his head to look at Leo out of curiosity and cautiously.

"Yes?"

"I just returned from my trip to Twilight Forest, so I\'m still ignorant of many things that had happened to Silver Kingdom in the past 10 or so days. So, would you mind telling me what had caused a lot of merchant caravans to leave Silver Kingdom?" Leo curiously asked.

The fat merchant stopped on his action, fixed his clothes, and calm himself, as he finally replied, "Silver Kingdom is done for. So, it\'s best for all of us merchants to leave as early as possible if we don\'t want to lose a huge amount of our investment."

Hearing the fat merchant\'s words, Leo was immediately shocked beyond belief. He was just starring, eyes wide open as he can\'t seem to comprehend what the fat merchant had just said.

Noticing this, Ash quickly stepped up and asked, "Can you give us more information? If it needs money, then we have plenty here, so if you don\'t mind?"

The fat merchant heaves a sigh of helplessness as he replied, "No need for any money, you will find out about it anyway just by asking any people you will meet in your way towards Southeast Fortress."

"It\'s a common knowledge already..." Ash can\'t help also becoming shocked. But she had already experienced something much more worst than this, so she was quickly able to pull herself together and calm down.

"Yes, it is common knowledge." The merchant nodded before he continued, "So, what happened in the past ten days or so was...."
