C34 Divine Body Forging Spell
Jiang Su headed into the left-side house and swiftly shed his clothes, slipping into a Flowing Cloud Shirt. The garment was remarkably light.
This Flowing Cloud Shirt wasn't Jiang Su's own; his master had left it here for him to use as a spare. He had always found the shirt overly feminine and had never worn one before. But today, not wanting to rummage through the wardrobe, he donned the Flowing Cloud Shirt.
As he emerged, his mind was elsewhere, preoccupied with the morning's events at the hot spring.
Wang Tian caught sight of Jiang stepping out. Accustomed to Jiang's striking looks, the sudden shift to a different style of attire left him momentarily dumbfounded. Jiang was stunning!
Even though Wang Tian thought the shirt seemed somewhat feminine, it only accentuated Jiang's rugged charm. It was clear why Jiang was so admired by many in the First Devil Sect. His good looks made the shirt appear all the more stylish.
"Jiang, you look incredible!" Wang Tian exclaimed, much like an adoring fan. The little Kylin in his arms snapped out of its trance over Jiang Su's looks and delivered a sharp kick to Wang Tian's chest.
"Enough with the sweeping, just stand there. I'll take you for training in a bit," Jiang Su said coolly, casually tossing the little Kylin from Wang Tian's arms to the ground. His throw was gentle, but the little Kylin was visibly miffed.
"System, activate the Divine Body Forging Spell," Jiang Su commanded, standing firm in the courtyard. As he spoke, a white flame sparked to life at his feet. Nearly invisible in the sunlight, the flame crept up his legs, soon enveloping him in a white blaze.
Initially, Wang Tian watched Jiang, noticing nothing amiss until the flames grew fiercer. Training was the furthest thing from his mind now.
Jiang was a deity in human form! Even the least perceptive would recognize this as a Body Cultivator's technique, clearly linked to body tempering.
Jiang Su felt a profound transformation within. The Original Sword Energy and the Golden Dragon Bloodline within him clashed with the Fiend God Body-Forging Flames, merging into one. If one were to observe closely at that moment, they would see Jiang Su's skin beneath the surface turning a golden hue, taking on a lustrous, metallic sheen.
Beyond his outermost layer of skin, the internal organs within Jiang Su's body were undergoing transformations as well.
Time seemed to blur until, at last, everything settled into place.
He had completed the cultivation of the Divine Body Forging Spell in merely fifteen minutes.
"Congratulations, Host, on your successful advancement to the Early Period of Foundation Stage from the Ninth Rank of the Qi Sensing Stage!"
His gaze sharpened, clarity returning to his eyes as a golden radiance flickered at his spirit vein, linking with the Golden Dragon Bloodline within him.
He had achieved another breakthrough!
He had anticipated a lengthy stay at this level of cultivation.
Yet, having entered the Foundation Stage outwardly, his true strength had ascended to either the Mid or Late Period of the Golden Core Stage. This was evident from the time he had drained the Spirit Gathering Lake, marking his entry into the Golden Core Stage.
His cultivation was undoubtedly progressing.
Jiang Su steadied the spiritual energy within himself and approached Wang Tian.
The Little Kylin, sensing Jiang Su's earnestness, perched on the staircase of the adjacent room, observing the pair practicing in the courtyard.
Jiang Su placed his hand on Wang Tian's left shoulder and pressed down firmly, utilizing only a fraction of his strength, yet Wang Tian couldn't help but cry out.
"Jiang, what's the meaning of this? I admit my mistake. I promise to dedicate myself to cultivation from now on."
Wang Tian's face contorted with pain, but Jiang Su persisted, pressing on several of his acupoints with deliberate force, eliciting another agonized scream.
The Little Kylin shivered slightly, its gaze fixed unblinkingly on the unfolding scene, curious about Wang Tian's forthcoming treatment.
Jiang Su's harsh method was intentional, aimed at unlocking Wang Tian's spirit veins to prepare him for the cultivation of the Divine Body Forging Spell.
This technique demanded robust spiritual energy.
Wang Tian, having spent years in the kitchen without guidance, possessed an exceptional Single Spiritual Root, yet his haphazard cultivation had brought about dire consequences.
Consequently, his spirit veins were few, and despite absorbing copious amounts of spiritual energy from the environment, it would stagnate within his spirit veins.
Wang Tian realized the pain was fleeting, and once it subsided, his body felt incredibly light and nimble. His spirit veins began to flow freely, allowing spiritual energy to move through him without hindrance.
It dawned on him that Jiang wasn't roughhousing or picking a fight; he was aiding his cultivation.
As a Medical Cultivator, Jiang was naturally addressing the blockages in Wang Tian's spirit veins.
Wang Tian's eyes sparkled with gratitude. "Thank you, Jiang. I'll dedicate myself to cultivating properly."
He never imagined that the issue that had troubled him for years would be resolved by Jiang in mere moments. Starting today, he was truly on the path of cultivation!
Wang Tian thought that was the extent of it, but to his surprise, Jiang retrieved a small pill from his storage space. It was tiny, pearl-like, and glowed with a lustrous sheen—clearly no ordinary pill.
"Eat this. Your current spirit veins are too few for cultivation. This pill will expand them. Start with one, and if that's not enough, take more."
Wang Tian was astounded. He knew Elder Chiu Yue had given Jiang a hundred top-quality immortal pills, but he hadn't expected Jiang to share them with him—and to suggest he could have many.
"No, Jiang, please keep the top-quality immortal pills for yourself. I can practice lower-rank techniques and gradually expand my spirit veins," he protested.
Jiang Su knew exactly what Wang Tian was thinking. He smiled briefly before his expression turned serious. "Open your mouth."
Jiang's commanding voice startled Wang Tian into opening his mouth reflexively, allowing Jiang to toss the pill inside.
The pill was so small that by the time Wang Tian realized what had happened, it was already in his stomach.
"Jiang, you're incredibly generous. I'm deeply moved. You've given me a top-quality immortal pill—I promise to commit to my cultivation!"
Wang Tian was a mess of tears and sniffles, looking at Jiang with overwhelming emotion, nearly ready to leap into his arms.
Jiang Su had his reasons for being so generous. He couldn't possibly use all one hundred immortal pills his master had given him, and having already developed a hundred spirit veins, he had no need for such an abundance of pills.
