"Eh? Complete? What is?" Elle has been exchanging Energy Stones ever since morning. The amount of focus she invested in her task made her forget the reason for such an arduous activity.
Morbius closed his eyes again and entered his Mind Sea for a bit. The virtual place in his mind has been completed. From the small hut he previously conjured, he turned it into a house identical to his house in Misha City. Inside his virtual house, there are plenty of rooms. The interior of the house is an independent space and it is bigger compared to its exterior. There are many vacant rooms, but there is a room with a plethora of books and it is obviously a library. Inside his virtual library are shelves filled with books. The majority of these books are blank while a fraction is composed of all the books he has read before.
It might be a cheat, but most of the Mind-Body Realm cultivators could do this once they unlocked their Mind Sea. The only limiting factor is energy. In the Mind-Body Realm, one should separate the energy source and the veins of the mind. This means that no amount of energy will be in contact with the mind unless willed. This prevents the occurrence of Energy Poisoning.
The energy types aside Pure Energy is a poison to the Mind Sea. That is why, normally, the energy sources and mind veins are separated first. Separation does not mean that mind veins would be void of energy, but instead, it allows the cultivator to just put energy in the veins when willed. If not, then the veins will be deactivated. To conjure things inside the Mind Sea, given that one does not have pure energy, needs to activate 'just' his mind veins to supply energy to the cultivators conjuring process without the energy invading the Mind Sea itself.
In the case of Morbius's Lifebound Reversal, Pure Energy itself is allowed inside the Mind Sea. Without too much thought process, at the least, he could conjure structures and things without the pain of draining his mental powers because the objects inside were Pure Energy themselves.
At this moment. Morbius knew that he had not yet explored the potential of his Mind Sea. Inside his Mind Sea, the time seemed so long, but when he went out in reality again, it is almost the same as when he went inside his Mind Sea.
'Incredible!' Morbius can't help but exclaim.
"I'm hungry, Morbius. Oh, wait! The tuna! My S-ranked Tuna... I forgot." Ever since Elle went inside Morbius's house, they had been talking about cultivation. Elle was so fascinated that she forgot about the tuna that she brought inside her tote bag.
Morbius smiled at Elle's childish antics and took out a tote bag inside his ring. "Is this the tuna you brought?"
Elle was not surprised anymore and nodded. "Don't worry, it's still fresh. I stored it inside my storage ring."
Elle was so hungry that she had no spare energy to think about a storage ring that could keep shit fresh. She went with Morbius to the kitchen as the guy sliced the tuna carefully and somehow masterfully.

Elle rubbed her tummy. "You filled me to the brim, Morbius."
She licked her lips and she was panting a bit. For some reason, something inside her seemed to be satiated. Her face was flushed red and sweat was trickling from her forehead to her nape and neck. With her skin like porcelain, the sweat made her glow more. She noticed some white cream on her cheek. She wiped it with her finger and licked it. "I want more of your cream, Morbius."
Morbius slightly frowned making his eyebrow twitch. "Don't say something misleading!"
"But this Spicy Grilled Tuna Mayo is so good. And this mayonnaise is very good. The sourness is just right and compliments well with the spicy tuna. You can open a restaurant if you want to."
In a slightly large table for four, Morbius and Elle were having dinner. A huge tuna dish was placed at the center with a plethora of side dishes. There is also a huge pot of rice. Each dish was already sampled by them so the dishes were reduced already.

After the meal, Morbius began circulating his new cultivation technique. Lifebound Reversal is an Energy Absorption Realm cultivation manual with some properties of Energy Refinement Realm manuals. Energy Refinement allows the refinement of the energy sources inside the body so it is entirely a different thing. The refinement stage compresses the total amount of energy inside the source into a single particle. This small particle's quality will then be set as a standard for the next batch of absorption.
Meanwhile, with respect to age, Lifebound Reversal ensures that the energy is at its purest state before it enters the energy source. With that, the quality of energy is guaranteed and that is before refinement. Once refined, the energy will be improved by leaps and bounds.
With Elle as his assistant, he absorbed the energy in the air and observed his body.
"The cultivation process is so slow." During this phase of his training, he did not use Alma's Cell Rejuvenation to hasten his cells. He concentrated again and while he is performing Lifebound Reversal, he simultaneously circulated Alma's Cell Rejuvenation.
Thankfully he unlocked his physiology by Ancient Dragon Physiology. With that, the process of two different techniques such as cell rejuvenation and Lifebound Reversal did not conflict with each other.
The energy absorption hastened. Automatically, the pure energy went to his organs, flesh, and bones. The first stage of Lifebound Reversal is the Age Monolith which Morbius named. This is the phase wherein he absorbed the Age Identification Spell plate and formed an Age Monolith inside his Mind Sea. The second stage is the Energy Source Transformation wherein he turns his organs to Energy Sources in addition to his original Energy Source. The third stage is Bone and Flesh Energy Fusion wherein the bones are enhanced depending on the age.
In his opinion, this technique is not solely for the absorption of energy. He could also improve many aspects of his body and the good thing is that it is proportional to his age. During his cultivation though, he is not allowed to practice Martial Intents. He could practice any martial art, but no intents to be cultivated.
After a week of practice...
'With Alma's Cell Rejuvenation, I progressed to 5% of my organ energy source, flesh and bone enhancement, and energy absorption. I wonder how long it'd take without the cell rejuvenation technique.'
