Xin woke up after sometime and saw that he was lying on a medicinal bath. He felt that his body is somewhat light not noticing that his weights were taken off, even his meridians were unblocked.
He felt that his fatigues were washed away and leisurely lay on the bucket. Eventhough he has grown taller, the bucket is till good to him.
After obsorbing all the medicines, he finally saw why his body was light, all the weights were removed and finally couldn't help but sigh.
At first when he wore weighs, he very much wanted to remove it as it was not comfortable. As days went by, he became adapt to it and didn't even notice the weight's sometimes. Now after finally the weight's are removed, he couldn't but feel sad about it as he has been accustomed to it.
Its human nature. Only when one misses dearly they feel sad. When they are alive you either ignore or don't feel the existence of it. Its the reality.
The old seniors who saw this reaction couldn't help but laugh out loud and being fuuny.
They were waiting for him to come.
Xin greeted both of them. Now he could understand the reactions of these old seniors. Even though there are no bodies, the soul doesn't make much facial expressions, he could understand what their expressions are.
When one has become accustomed to it living together, they can understand each other. This is also a part of nature.
Feeling that they want to speak something, Xin asked very politely: "Senior, do you require any help?"
"No kid, I just want to tell you something as its very important for what you do and choose in the road of cultivation." The old soul said casually.
"Kid, do you remember anything or have anything new in your memory?" The old senior asked with a smile.
Xin was surprised and suddenly remembered that he has fallen uncounscious without doing anything. No wonder, they came yesterday and asked a weird question.
After checking in his memory he found that there was a skill named "Transformation skills". He was surprised and looked at both seniors and thanked them.
The old seniors felt funny and finally said: "The reason we choose to give you transformation skill is that it is very helpful for you to escape from enemies, even from dangers. This skill not only can fool the enemies but also can transform into an enemy by impersonating them and do assasination, infiltrate the enemy, even steal the treasures. You can always stay in your transformated form, no need to show your real face. Even if enemy posts a wanted picture of you with a reward, they won't know your real face. Its a brief introduction of what you can do with this skill. We also don't know what dangers you will face. So its better to practice this skill."
"One of the reasons I lifted the seal and weighs is that you have to both practice this transformation skill and turtle breathe skill. As it says turtle breathe, it needs to be practiced on water. Without the help of spiritual powers you can't practice this. So starting from today you will practice transformation skill in morning and turtle breathe at night on water. Well I see that you have reached and broke through Spirit's Mandate. It is also time to get ready." The old soul pointed out to Xin on his forehead and imparted the turtle breathe technique, then left after saying this.
It seems that we have to leave this place sooner or later.
Xin didn't realise when he broke-through himself. Clearing his head, first he read the contents of transformation skill: "All laws obey the order of heaven and earth. If one has to transform to another entity, the peron must understand his own body, physique, eyes, soul, bones, voice and even sound. This skill can also be transformed into plant, grass, soil, dust, insects, animals, trees, fragile human, child, ...etc. It has many uses. It has 216 transformations."
As he went on reading he found unbelievable. It seemed that he must first understand the characteristics of his own body. With that he sat down, closed his eyes, check his inner bones physique and heart beat rate. Men and Women's heart beat rate is different. Same for old bones even animals. Seems that he has to observe nearby animals first. As for humans, he can check later.
When he checked some insects nearby, he saw that their heart physique is different even size. As for how to reduce size its a problem.
He mumbled a few words: "Forget it, lets ask the seniors tomorrow."
He sat and threw the problems for later then he started reading the turtle breathe technique.
"The turtle breathe is one of the breathing technique of the turtle clans. To breathe air, you must breathe through skin not through your mouth or nose and reduce your heartbeat rate nearly like a dead person. Close all your senses feel the breathe of every pores in the body and breathe. And it must also obey the laws of heaven and earth.... ." Xin read, read and read carefully it seems that turtle breathe and transformation skills go hand in hand. Its really a beautiful art.
Its time to practice turtle breathe first. With that he took off his clothes wearing only underpants, jumped into the river, sat in mūdrā position and closed all his senses, reduced his heart beat rate.
Failure, couldn't even last one minute.
