Ki sat on a practice mat with her legs crossed and had her back against the wall of the room so that her body was properly supported and in a comfortable position.
She picked up something from a jade box by her side and looked at it. "One thousand year old ginseng. Although I could use one of a lesser age it would be best to make use of the best medicines and ingredients to make the process get the best results."
All of the energy built up within her bones with the addition of the medicinal effects of the one thousand year old ginseng would achieve the best results during her bone metamorphosis in order to shed one's mortal body and exchange one's bones.
She began to take several bites of the ginseng and then swallowed it as she began to close her eyes while focussing.
In her previous life she did not undergo the bone metamorphosis so she did not know of the pain she would have to endure completely but in this lifetime she had built a stable foundation and prepared thoroughly for it.
One reason why she never underwent the bone metamorphosis was because she was not sure if she could survive it but another was that she had far too many enemies that may take advantage of her weakness and kill her before most of her plans were completed.
Her whole body was full of deep wounds and scars and she had done her best to get her body into a better condition but if she underwent the bone metamorphosis she was not sure if she could survive through it thanks to the state of her body.
She continued to run her generation qi art to control both her poisonous and blood qi through her body as the ginseng was being fully consumed.
As the energy within the bones reached its limits, every bone within Ki's body had begun to break apart.
Huge amounts a pain tore through her body as each bone within her body was being broken apart.
Most of her focus was on enduring the pain and making sure all of her bones were thoroughly broken while maintaining the shape of her body with her qi.
If she lost focus for even one second her body would sag like a snail without a shell and die.
After the first stage when the bones were broken began the next stage of the linkage of mind and soul.
Impure grime began to leave her body through her pores, every impurity that she had built up over the years that had piled up was being expelled from her body.
The vitality provided by ginseng and the energy built up in her bones that had been released as her bones were broken began to cause the accumulated pollutants found in the linkage of mind and soul to vanish.
Lots of black filth was expelled from her body that had a really bad and strong smell but she did not let this distract her focus as she began to step into the final stage.
She continued to endure the pain and hold her body together for a long time and slowly underwent each stage making sure not to rush what she was doing.
A complete regeneration took place after the impurities were fully expelled from her body.
All of her bones began to be reforged within her body and any unknown or small injuries and illnesses that she had hidden within her body were cured.
All of the years undergoing harsh training that may have caused some hidden injuries within her body were completely cured.
The bones within her body took on a slightly pinkish red colour under the influence of forging her bones using the generation qi art to use both qi while forging her body and bones.
Her whole body had truly transcended the limits of normal humans and her bones had completed their transformation completing the main and most difficult stage of her bone tempering stage of her body tempering art.
As she stood up she noticed that she had grown a little taller but before she could examine her changes completely she sniffed her body. "Urgh disgusting."
All of the impurities and bile that had been expelled from her body had covered a layer on the outside of her skin and the blackish filth was clearly visible on her.
After completing her bone metamorphosis she realised that a long time had passed as the water she had prepared previously had gone cold within the bath.
She quickly entered the bath and started washing and scrubbing the filth from her body.
With every layer of filth that was washed from her body her clear skin was revealed and the water began to become more filthy.
As she stepped out after thoroughly cleaning herself her body emitted a subtle pure and refreshing fragrance almost like a mulberry tree.
The subtle fragrance of her body caused the silk moth within her body to feel more comfortable and more at home.
As her body had completed its transformation and she had washed away the filth from her body her skin was smoother and without any impurities, her body had become more of an ideal shape but also her beauty was enhanced to a whole new level.
Not only had her bones experienced a change and become much more resilient and shaped better to suit her body but the previous limits on her skin, muscles and tendons had been surpassed as her body was growing to become more durable and stronger than it previously was.
Normal attacks would no longer be able to cause her damage and even swords and spears would be unable to harm her body unless she suffered an attack by a high grade of weapon or higher realm of martial artist.
Within the transcendent realm she could be considered to be invincible unless she met another body tempering expert or evil or devil martial artist who also tempered their body.
After completing her transformation and bathing, Ki dried her body and then put on some clothes.
After undergoing the bone metamorphosis, Ki was in dire need of some food so immediately left to make herself something.
As she passed through the mansion she could already see that the sun was setting in the sky so a long time had passed as she had secluded herself within the room.
By the time she had came out Leon and Naara had already gone to bed while Elizabeth, Adam and Agnes were in their own work rooms sorting out some documents.
She went straight to the kitchen and made herself some soup with some of the leftover ingredients and ate several bowls worth all on her own.
