Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 440 - 453: Reshaping the Flesh Body

"Alright, go find your dad," Mu Can gently patted the little one’s head and said.

And really, touching the top of his head without flames, it felt just like touching a piece of smooth jade, not a bad feel at all.

"Big Bull, take good care of the little guy," Mu Can instructed Big Bull.

After all, this little one was the first life Mu Can created, and he did not want anything odd to happen to him.

Now Big Bull looked at Mu Can with eyes that beheld reverence, as if looking at a deity.

You see, for the Molten Rock Giants, the emergence of a new member of their race was exceedingly rare, almost impossible to happen even in hundreds of years.

Now, within mere moments, Mu Can had created a fellow being, which to Big Bull was nothing short of a miracle.

"What’s the matter? Is there something else?" Mu Can looked at a hesitant Big Bull and asked.

"Boss, may I ask you for a favor?" Those Guardian Beasts that later joined the New World all naturally started calling Mu Can ’Boss.’

Big Bull was usually blunt, and this was the first time he was beating around the bush in speaking.

"Spit it out already." Mu Can lightly kicked Big Bull, only to find that Big Bull wasn’t affected at all, while his own foot felt the pain.

"Well, could you please create more of our kind in the future? It’s extremely difficult for our Molten Rock Giant race to have a new member," Big Bull said, bracing himself. He then closed his eyes, not daring to look at Mu Can.

From his perspective, even though Mu Can could create life, the cost must also have been significant, so requesting this favor made Big Bull very anxious.

The other few Guardian Beasts that emerged from the Heavenly Pillar could sympathize with Big Bull.

For some powerful races that were born strong, their reproductive ability was always a troubling issue.

The more powerful the race, the more difficult it was to reproduce.

"That’s..." Mu Can could indeed understand Big Bull’s feelings. The situation of the Dragon Clan back in the day wasn’t much different from the Molten Rock Giants, so every newborn of the Dragon Clan was a treasure to them.

"Is it that difficult, Boss?" It’s hard to imagine, but such an intimidating behemoth that would cause panic in the Mortal World was showing vulnerable expressions in front of Mu Can.

"Alright, but there are limited living conditions in this world, and for now, it can’t sustain too many Molten Rock Giants. This is something where you will need to work hard, at least provide a better growth environment for the little one under your protection."

Mu Can was not concerned about lacking Spiritual Power; ultimately, this world had not yet grown into a real realm, so it could not really sustain a large number of Molten Rock Giants.

"That’s on me," Big Bull said in a firm tone, looking at the little Molten Rock Giant beside him with eyes full of affection.

The Molten Rock Giants naturally reproduced asexually, so each little one in the race was like a child to everyone. Seeing the newborn created by Mu Can, Big Bull immediately treated it as if it was his own flesh and blood.

"From now on, you’ll be called Little Bull," Big Bull decided as he looked at Little Bull, who was much weaker than a typical newborn of the Molten Rock Giant race.

This was related to the amount of Spiritual Power provided by Mu Can.

"I didn’t expect it to really be successful." Mu Can looked at the harmonious scene of the two and smiled.

He had not anticipated things to go so smoothly. Although Molten Rock Giants were not really considered life in a certain sense, they were now beings with their own soul - this time, Mu Can considered it a real success.

But Mu Can knew that there was still a long way to go to create real humans.

"It’s time to solve some problems," Mu Can murmured to himself. frёeωebɳovel.com

A spatial rift appeared in the sky, followed by figure after figure materializing in front of Mu Can.

These were the Soul Bodies that had been cultivating in the first layer of the Reincarnation Pearl, and among them was a puzzled person looking around the environment—it was none other than Yin Fan, who Mu Can had intercepted and given a fragment of the Demon Lord’s avatar.

"Master." These Soul Bodies who chose to stay in the first layer were individuals with no attachments in the outside world, and while they had been cultivating well in the first layer, they were suddenly transferred to this place. However, upon seeing Mu Can, all their uncertainties dissipated with the wind, and instead, they gathered around him.

Mu Can was their benefactor; without him, they would still be forlorn wandering souls.

"The cultivation is not bad, but your Soul Power is almost at its limit. Now it’s time to reconstruct your physical bodies so you can truly cultivate," Mu Can said with satisfaction, nodding his head. Each of these individuals had considerable strength; it seemed that they had not been slacking off in the first layer of the Reincarnation Pearl.

"Mu Can, what brings you here?" The speaker was none other than Yin Fan, who had been put into the first layer of the Reincarnation Pearl years ago.

This name was still given by Mu Can, to differentiate from the Yin Tian of the Demon World’s Demon Clan.

"Brother Yin Fan, seeing that your Cultivation has almost fully recovered, do you want to take a tour around the Mortal World?"

Yin Fan’s strength has now stepped into the Martial Saint level. It seems that the Cultivation environment within this layer is indeed especially suitable for these Spiritual Bodies.

"Can I go to the Mortal World?" Yin Fan’s eyes lit up. Although advancing his strength through Cultivation is a joyous matter, after all, Cultivation is a dull affair, and the outside world has an unparalleled attraction to him.

"Yes, once I help you reshape your physical bodies," Mu Can nodded. Yin Fan had already proven his difference from the Demon Ancestor, and Mu Can did not mind letting him go to the Mortal World to contribute some of his strength.

Actually, Mu Can had not realized that ever since he heard that the Three Realms share the same origin and face a common external enemy, the evil demons from beyond, his own mindset had already started to change.

If before becoming a Void Level entity, his first task would have been to expel all Demon Clans left in the Mortal World back to the Demon World, now he was considering how to unify the forces of the Three Realms to confront the imminent threat from the evil demons from beyond.

"Lord, can we go out too?" A young man who was also killed by Mu Can and turned into a wronged soul spoke. However, because his strength was too weak last time, Mu Can did not let him return to the Mortal World.

Looking at it now, the fluctuations of Soul Power on this young man have already reached the level of a Martial Arts Sect.

"Of course, once your strength reaches the Martial Arts Sect level and you pass the challenge of Tongshen Mountain, you can leave this space and return to the Mortal World," Mu Can thought for a moment and said.

"Tongshen Mountain?" The remaining hundred or so souls looked at each other, unsure of what Tongshen Mountain is.

With a shake of his head, Mu Can realized that these people had been separated from the Mortal World for too long a time, so it was very normal for them not to know about Tongshen Mountain.

"Brother Lin, I’ll be relying on you to take care of these people. The management of Tongshen Mountain will still be your responsibility. I’ll partition off a section of this world later, and from time to time I will send Cultivators in to nurture more living forces for the Mortal World," Mu Can said.

"No problem," Brother Lin agreed without hesitation. Now, even if asked to leave this New World, he wouldn’t want to.

As the world evolves into a realm, the Heaven and Earth Laws will clearly present themselves, providing a splendid opportunity for breakthroughs.

When it came to using Spiritual Power to reshape physical bodies, Mu Can had done it once before, and this time it was even smoother.

Before much time passed, these souls had all obtained their new bodies.

"I feel that this body has a very high affinity for Spiritual Power," the young man who had spoken earlier said as he sat and exercised.

"At last, this old man has a physical body with a soul," an old man said, his face streaked with tears.

"Thank you, Lord Mu Can," someone said as they kowtowed.

To them, Mu Can was like a redeemer, not only rescuing them from dire straits but also giving them hope for rebirth.

When they became vengeful ghosts, even suicide was a luxury to dream of. Never did they expect to see a day like this, a day when they would have new physical bodies shaped.

"Everyone, rise. Brother Lin will take you into Tongshen Mountain shortly, and everyone can choose a basic Secret Manual. In a month’s time, I will come to take you out," Mu Can said with a satisfied nod.

As Mu Can reshaped a body for each person, he scanned each one’s soul with Spiritual Power, and the thoughts of these people surfaced in Mu Can’s mind.

He was very satisfied; among these people, there was no one with ulterior motives, only admiration for him, treating him as a true deity.

Even Yin Fan felt the same way; this fragment of the Demon Lord’s soul was joyous like a child receiving candy after getting its own body.

"By the way, Brother Lin, I have an idea. Perhaps it’s time to make some modifications to Tongshen Mountain," Mu Can pondered and asked.

The challenges of Tongshen Mountain before were too harsh, and too few could obtain Secret Manuals in it.

Mu Can wanted to renovate Tongshen Mountain to make it more accessible for more people, to quickly enhance the strength of the Mortal World.

"That is possible," Brother Lin nodded.

The inheritance is just a part of Tongshen Mountain’s function. Choosing an inheritor is the most crucial function of Tongshen Mountain, but now that the inheritor has been selected, Tongshen Mountain could be fully opened.

"Alright, let’s modify Tongshen Mountain then. I think we can directly open the Scripture Pavilion and also use the Duel Arena as a venue for challenges. Those who obtain a Secret Manual within the Scripture Pavilion and integrate it will be able to enter the Duel Arena to challenge, and only those who win five consecutive matches in the Duel Arena are considered to have completed their training and may leave the mountain," Mu Can put forward his thoughts.

If changed according to his ideas, then Tongshen Mountain would completely become an Inheritance Land.

This was something Brother Lin had not thought of before.
