Impurity Cleansing Pill, in the multitude of pills that were recorded in the Pill Almanac, this pill was the one Fell needed most.
Its main purpose was to cleanse the body of its consumer, cleansing him from all the impurities that had built up over the course of an individual's life. This pill was one of the few rare pills that even mortals can consume, its mild properties making it perfect for everyone.
To aspiring cultivators, it represented something else. This pill was the key to attaining The Physique Molding Realm. When consuming it, their main goal was to use one hundred percent of its medicinal properties and use it to breakthrough the first Shackle of life.
Fell quickly found the Impurity Cleansing Pill in his spatial pocket. Excited, he took it out and started to passionately observe the marvelous capsule. Anzar's Impurity Cleansing Pill was round and shiny, the surface of the pill was glistening in the dark and the first thought Fell had when seeing it was to gulp it.
Forcing himself to calm down, he sat cross-legged on the irregular floor and closed his eyes. Fell's respiration soon was slow and deep, his breaths were long and potent.
A few minutes of meditation went by, Fell slowly opened his eyes. An impressive resolve could be seen in his eyes, his momentum couldn't be higher.
"It's now or never!" loudly spoke Fell as if to make the last bit of doubt disappear from his heart.
Following his cry of resolve, he quickly threw the Pill in his mouth and closed his eyes. As soon as The Impurity Cleansing Pill went in contact with his tongue, it quickly dissolved into a stream of potent energy that quickly made its way through all his body parts. Fell soon discovered that like the description he read in the Pill Almanac, the Impurity Cleansing Pill's mild properties were getting absorbed by his athletic body. He could feel his physique improve after every single second, his breathing was turning more and more powerful, making the dust scatter through the room.
Fell's body was similar to a desert facing a torrential rain, it was absorbing every single nutrient that made contact with it. His body acting like a sponge and completely assimilating every single bit energy it touched.
His pores were opening up, Fell rarely felt so clear-headed. A weird pungent and acrid smell appeared, followed by massive amounts of sticky black substances that got evacuated from his pores. Fell felt the change in his body and understood that he was on the right track, forcing himself to calm his joy, he kept slowly absorbing all the medicinal energy coming out of the pill.
All the impurities that formed during the last seventeen years of his life were slowly cleansed out of his mortal shell. His hidden past injuries healed, he could feel himself getting stronger and coming closer and closer to the First Shackle of life.
Soon the mild properties of the Pill came to a stop.
"This shouldn't be happening! I'm so close to achieving my first step in cultivation!" cried Fell in his heart.
Following the stop of the mild influx coming from the Impurity Cleansing Pill, a second more potent and aggressive energy started flowing through all Fell's body. This aggressive and hard energy left Fell trembling every time it made contact with his body, he was numerous sensations akin to small trains wreaking havoc inside of his body.
"I was wrong this isn't an Impurity Cleansing Pill! this is intensity is at least a second grade Pill!" concluded Fell, "I need to quickly take care of it or I will surely die!"
Fell's body was getting bombarded by the heavy influx of energy coming from the Pill, every second of inaction was another part of his body wasted. A red substance soon replaced the originally dark impurity. That was Fell's blood!
This moment Fell took a decision that completely changed his path of cultivation. Not even trying to slow the energy coming from the Pill, Fell took out the real Impurity Cleansing Pill from his spatial pocket and quickly threw it in his mouth.
This insane act may look like a suicide, but Fell completely decided to go for broke. Either he would ascend this trial and live or he would die in a magnificent explosion.
His wrecked body was continuously trembling, his veins were bulging like worms under his skins. His teeth already broken from clenching his jaw, he was on the brink of losing consciousness.
As soon as the true Impurity Cleansing Pill was consumed by Fell, his body turned into a fighting field for the two Pills. One of them completely destroying his body while the other constantly fixing it.
This cycle kept repeating endlessly, sounds of bone breaking and internal organs mashed could be heard. Unfortunately Fell mind's kept floating in the brink of collapse. Even with all of Anzar's preparation, he wasn't ready to shoulder so much pain.
The only reason he could survive this long was due to his unwavering desire to live!
The cycle repeats itself through the course of the night. Every single second, Fell was close to dying due to the two energies fighting inside his body. The second grade Pill's goal was to completely destroy every single bit of his body, the Impurity Cleansing Pill acted like a seasoned healer saving him every time he thought he was done for.
But in the end, this wasn't just a disastrous act. There is only a line that divides fortune and misfortune, it all depended on Fell which side of the coin he was gonna get.
In the middle of all this inner war, Fell's body was still surviving. Every single cycle it survived resulted in new body parts that were harder and softer, the strength of his body was approaching a state that even Anzar didn't expect Fell to attain.
This endless cycle of destroying and rebirth continued through the entirety of the night until dawn arrived.
New Casablanca's slums, in a seemingly old villa that had better days. A human-sized, blood colored, red sculpture was seen in the middle of the entrance. That seemingly solid yet fragile shape was none other than Fell.
Fell's blood solidified and completely encompassed him, forming what may look like a blood-red sculpture.
The first light of dawn soon started illuminating the street of New Casablanca, Fell's villa wasn't an exception and the first beam of light also made its way in the ancient building.
That beam of light hit directly where Fell was sitting, a few seconds passed and the statue started to crack from a few places, pieces of solidified blood making their way to the ground. As the piece kept falling, fair skin could be seen under the solidified blood. The fair skin had a slight gold hue and looked extremely supple and elastic like a newborn, its golden color also gave off a powerful and dominating feel to whoever saw it.
Finally, every piece of solid blood fell from his juvenile face. His eyes opened, two beams of light erupted from them, completely overpowering the light coming from the rising sun.
He slowly got up, a large amount of solidified blood fell from his body. Clenching his fist and taking a step in towards the exit, the ground beneath his feet cracked from his excessive use of strength. Seeing this, a smile started appearing on his face soon followed by a burst of proud clear laughter.
Betting with his life on the line, he succeeded!
