Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao-Chapter 21 The Physique Transformatiom Realm
**********
Blue Crystal City...
...Rose Gold Inn.
Arthur took a bath after going back to the inn they had booked. After that, he sat down on his bed and brought out the ring that Suo Hao gave to him.
'Let's see what we have here,' Arthur thought as he pricked his finger with a needle and let a drop of blood fall on the ring.
As the drop of blood touched the ring, runic symbols appeared on it as it shines in yellow light. After that, it absorbed the blood and Arthur felt some kind of connection with the ring.
It was a feeling that he could bring out anything that is within the ring with just a thought.
"He said it could go invisible when worn, right?"
Arthur wore the ring on the index finger of his right hand.
"Hmm, it did go invisible. That is convenient," Arthur said as the ring 'disappeared' from his vision, but he could still feel it on his finger.
Arthur focused his spirit power on the ring and he was able to see its contents.
"So many spirit crystals!" Arthur exclaimed in surprise.
Spirit Crystals, were little crystals, that are made up entirely of spirit energy, which cultivators use for cultivation.
The spirit energy that the crystals are made up of is very pure and is better than absorbing spirit energy from the atmosphere. Due to that they also facilitate cultivation by a large margin.
Spirit Crystals are ranked accordingly as; Mortal Rank, Profound Rank, Earth Rank, and Heaven Rank.
Each rank is subdivided into, low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and peak grade.
Low-grade Earth rank spirit crystals were the highest that Arthur had seen and the Empire only had a few thousands of those in stock.
Within the ring, Arthur found millions of peak-grade Profound rank Spirit crystals, hundreds of thousands of low-grade Earth rank spirit crystals, tens of thousands of high-grade Earth rank crystals, and thousands of peak-grade Earth rank spirit crystals.
"I think I just won the lottery," Arthur said, as he knew how much of a fortune this meant.
The average cultivator would only encounter Mortal rank spirit crystals of low grade for most of their lives, not to talk of those of the profound rank. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
Aside from those, Arthur found a lot of precious and rare herbs. He also saw the books on runes and a teleportation device which looked like a metal egg with runes carved on it.
There were other things, but Arthur ignored them for now.
"Now...I begin my cultivation"
He had waited for a long time now, and can finally gain the strength he had been desiring for so long.
Being in a world like this, and having the status that he had, he was exposed to the abilities of cultivators early on. And that sparked a fire in him.
A desire to gain such ability and to reach the peak he did in his last life. Even though he had almost no recollection of his past. And at the core of his soul, is the desire to be immortal, the desire to be invincible.
"...to be supreme," Arthur muttered to himself.
That is his goal now. He couldn't tell when exactly, but he had such an ambition in his heart, ever since he reincarnated and learned of the path of cultivation.
"The body tempering stage," Arthur said and then closed his eyes, as he reviewed his knowledge of the early realms of cultivation.
The first realm of cultivation is called the Physique Transformation Realm, and it is where the foundation is laid for the cultivation path.
The Physique Transformation Realm is made up of three stages, they are;
* The Body Tempering Stage e a martial artist.
Arthur brought out a barrel from his spacial ring. The barrel was big enough for him to sit comfortably within.
He filled it with water, and then took out a transparent bottle that was filled with a red liquid, which he opened and poured into the barrel. He poured two more of those into it, making the water's color red.
After that, he took off his clothes and entered the barrel.
He was following the steps to temper his body.
In the body tempering stage, the skin is tempered and strengthened first. And next are the muscles, bones and tendons, organs and blood, and finally, the meridians are unblocked to allow the flow of spiritual energy within.
The red liquid was a potion made by Alchemists that helps in tempering the skin. It was a rare resource that he had gotten through his status as a prince of the empire.
Within the barrel, Arthur felt a burning sensation all over his skin. This continued for less than fifteen minutes before it stopped.
Early Body Tempering Stage Complete!
Arthur got out of the barrel and sat down cross-legged on the floor, still in his underwear. He took out a bottle of pills and swallowed its content.
'Body Tempering Pills,' Arthur thought, as he took them.
These were pills also concocted by the Alchemist to temper the other parts of the body.
Arthur took the pills for the veins and muscles, which caused a burning sensation again, that was more painful than the last.
Arthur edited without making a sound, and after half an hour, he had completed the tempering of the muscles.
He continued taking the different pills for body tempering in a certain order and after a few more hours. He had finished tempering his bones and tendons, organs and blood, and his meridians.
Peak Body Tempering Stage!
Arthur felt stronger like never before. He also felt ten times healthier. He was excited and wanted to test out his current strength.
And also practice some martial arts techniques while at it.
